ECLIPSE OF MOON AND SUN.

Tonight Thursday there will be
a total eclipse of the moon. The
moon will rise at 6:5s and remain
dnsky until & p. M, when 1t viii
again shine forth.
on June 18th there will be total
eclipse of the sun, visible to Central
Russia, the polar regions nnd Green
land but in America, we are told
by the wise ones, that only digits
of the SUMS surface will appear
eclipsed, and as tho sun il twenty
digits In diameter, the eclipse Will
have no appreciable effect on the
amount of daylight scheduled for
that time. The solar eclipse in
America will occur at 6:l4 p. m.

that several measures regulating the
sale of liquor were first defeated by
the House Republicans, their virtues
not being understood until after the
Governor put himself In disfavor
with the temperance people by his
message against the prohibition
resolution. Then 1t was that the
Republicans repented, and recon-
sidered their decision on some OF
the liquor-regulation bills, sending
them to the Senate in those latter
days, when confusion reigned and
the belated House appropriation
bills were OF paramount Importance,
next to desire for adjournment.
1.-The Speer antipass bill was con-
sidered joke, by reason of its ex-
empting all but few classes from
its provisions. However, voted to
pass 1t, but 1t was killed by an ad-
verse report, because the three Re-
publican Senators all voted against
1t, thus sending il TO the foot of the
calendar. These bills came to us In
the closing days OF the session."

Clothing and Temperature.

The whole theory OF clothing and Its
relation to temperatures is condensed
by DR.. Wachenheim In the following
paragraph, which will probably sug
gest where many mysterious colds
come from: The nude body of q
healthy adult, when at rest. maintains
It's normal warmth of 90 degrees most
easily at an air temperature OF about
so, this may be called the indifferent
temperature. and is reduced by very
light summer clothing to about 20, by
heavy winter dress to about 60 de-
grrcs; under these circumstances we
feel just comfortable when lying down
or otherwise inactive"

WRITING for Publication,

The reason why so many writer's
fail Is because they try to write when
they have nothing to say. Or. II they
really have ideas. they are unable to
express themselves clearly. The anna
teur must keep to the short sentence,
II Is much safer DO not fancy that
one can merely sit down and write,
An article must be planned as the
architect designs the dwelling, every
detail being carefully thought out and
considered.

To Keep Shoe Laces Tied.

A way to keep the shoe lace tied
is TO make a bow in the ordinary way,
then insert button hook underneath
the center Of the bow and draw one
loop and one end through (under.
neath), thus turning the bow practic.
ally upside down. Or draw one loop
through the other and pull the "an.
swering" end, so that the loops are
knotted.

The Board of Control Bill.

Representative Crossley, referring
to other pet measures of the Cover
nor says:
1.-THE Governor makes reference
again to the Board of Control bill
and the Utilities Commission. He
must have been thoroughly imbued
with lust for power, else the defeat
of these measures would not have
cost him such chagrin. 1t is true
that similar bills have been intro
duced in previous sessions, but they
were deemed dangerous and hurt
full to the public welfare, so why
should the present Senate have put
into the hands OF Hadley what had
been withheld from the hands of
Dockery and Folk? Democracy
then, now and forever--will resist
Capitalization of authority.

that the Democrats defeated legis-
lation to regulate the sale OF liquors

Dear Sirs--I have derived such great
benefit from the use OF your remedy,
Swamp-Root, that believe il To be most
important for the public 10 know it,
worth. For the past ten years | have
been the most miserable OF men. Did
not know what the trouble WAS, but had
to urinatc very frequently both day and
night; was all pulled up generally. Could
not sleep more than a couple OF hours at
n time; was greatly distressed after eating
a meal, and was about worn out. had
tried nearly everything l could see adver-
tised and heard Of without helping me To
any great extent until finally in October
last at Ripon, Wis, | purchased a one
dollar bottle of Swamp-Root and com
menced taking il according To directions,
and followed that with another bottle
and experienced such great relief and
benefit from same that l purchased five
dollars worth at Huntsville, Ala. and
continued It's use and am now taking il,
but in smaller doses and twice day in
place Of four times a day, and believe by
the time present supply is used up will
be entirely well. / am feeling better now
than for ten years past. Can eat and
sleep first class; in fact / am feeling so
good that cannot resist telling you
about il. You are ut liberty Ia publish

particular stress on the prohibition plank
in their platform and told the people IL
they would give them one more trial that
they would prove their sincerity on the
prohibition question. The spcllbinders
and the Republican newspaper organs

the Democratic candidate for governor.
Under such circumstances the Prohibit
tionists could not expect any favors from
a party they helped defeat.
Now that the Republican party has de.
