SCOUTS IDEA OF MARRIAGE.
Crusty Massachusetts, Bachelor of

Eighty years of single b~lessedness is
the record of Moses p. Stowe, one of
the Oldest residents of Grafton, Mass.

Why, look at all of the men in this

selves to women whom they professed
to love, and now want to get as far
away from femininity as they can. |

WEST DEMANDS SQUARE DEAL
Great Section of the Country Looks
to President Taft to Redeem
Party Pledges.

The Republican party would not
now be in power il the voters of the
west and middle west had not rallied
last November to Taft's support.
And why did many of these western
states send Bryan to defeat for the
third time?
It was because the Republican
party, through its convention plat
form, its campaign spokesman, and
through direct pledges from Taft him
self, promised that the burden of un-
necessary tariff taxation should be
lifted from the vests shoulders.
President Taft knows that this is
the case. He knows what western en-
timent is on genuine tariff revision.
He knows also that it is this same
west that has come to the rescue of
the Republican party in various ma
tional crises.
Doubtless some of the saner New
England senators know this also. The
grand dukes of the money power,
headed by Aldrich, may know it, but
they don't care. All they ask is that
the west shall continue helping to
vote the Republican party into power.
The forcing of the wool schedule by
Aldrich in the face of the western
plea for revision. and despite Senator
Delivers expose of its dishonesty,
puts Aldrich in the position of endan-
gering the Republican party.
1t is to President Taft that western
consumers naturally turn for a
square deal" in this tariff crisis.
They made him president. And they
sincerely hope they will never have
occasion to regret it.
Political ideals are known in the
west. In other words, the west be-
lieves in broad fundamental policies
of government. 1t is willing that New
England mill bosses should thrive, but
not at the expense of the rest of the
nation.
Give the west a square DEAL
President Taft.

NEGLIGEES OF WHITE SWISS.
Wash Fabric D~eservedly Popular for
Its Many Uses and Good
Appearance.

Even the most fashionable dress
makers lend their talents to the ma
king of most attractive negligees of
white swiss, lace and ribbon. This
wash fabric has come into more favor
For the kind Of garment one wears in
Dne's W room or for breakfast and
luncheon with the family alone. The
swiss is fine and has a small dot, and
the negligee is usually made in two
pieces, put together on one belt,
which is covered by a broad sash of
colored satin.
This is often high-waisted at back
Rnd is finished at the left with a
large rosette and two long ends.
The neck is open, in V-shape, and
Finished with deep lace rufles and a
bow Of satin at the back.
The tight elbow sleeves are finished
with deep lace ruffies and a bow OF
satin at the back.
Such negligees are cooler and fresh
er than those of silk or other mate.

Joke Anaers the Judne.

Judge Balloon was talking to a
crowd on the street a few days ago,
telling them the proper way to put
shingles on a house. He said:
1.-THE old rule was to allow six
inches Of the shingles to show to the
weather. but that is too much. You
should allow not more than four
inches to show"
Some wag remarked in a matter of
fact tone to the judge: How would it
do not to let any show?" The judge
replied: 1--WE seer roofs made that
way; but it takes a great many
shingles"
Then the judge wanted to get mad
when the crowd laughed.-Twiggs

AldrIch and the SUGAR Trust,

There is strong evidence that
United States officials have been in
collision with sugar trust officials in
downright robbery of the national
treasury by "short-weighting" dutiable
imports. Instead of grand-jury indict-
ments for everyone connected with
these thefts, and prison terms, the
trust is likely to get a reward of
merit from Aldrich in the shape of
more protection"

EFvHE fan is a dainty trife and

its picturesque beauty than for
actual use, therefore the materials
should be of the most fairylike deli

There is a quaint old-time charm
about a painted fan that is altogether

leaves are lightly s%prinkled with wee
silver spangles sewn on with a
fine needle and fine thread. The stitch.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and ineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
