The Climax.
The climax of enthusiasm during
Taft's speech was reached when the
president touched upon sectional diff
ferences. With rising infection
and forceful gesture he declared. "ai
president of the United States may
well lift up my voice to protest
against any effort, by whomsoevei
made. to array section against sec

Practically the entire assembly
eheered the speaker. Many leaped tc
their feet In endorsement Of the pres
ident's remarks, the applause being
echoed by the galleries.
The president was cheered loudly
at the close OF the address.

Rats Cost Householders Of These
United States Many Millions in Year.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Twenty
million dollars was the total damage
inflicted by the common household
rat on city dwellers of the United
States during the past year. The
pest has ruined goods to the value
Of nearly four Dreadnaughts.
These figures are the Official esti-
mate of the biological survey of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The loss which the whole ma
ton sustains annually can only be
guessed at statistics are not easily
obtained IN scattered rural communal
ties-but a careful canvass among
business men in a dozen or more
large cities indicated a net loss of
twenty millions year.
In the year book of the depart
ment, Just issued, these statistics are
quoted as the necessity for signing
the rodents death warrant.
The rat continues also to excite
grave apprehension. says Secretary
Wilson, in his general resume, "be-
cause of its agency in distributing
the dreaded plague and other dis
eases. Boards of health and the ma
rine hospital service in several of
our maritime cities have been prose-
cutting active war against the rodents.
and large sums have been expended
in efforts TO effect their extirpation.
No one method has proved adequate,
and only by concerted. systematic
and persistent efforts is it possible to
reduce and keep down their numbers.
The rat-proof construction of build
ings. the constant use of traps and
the use of poisons wherever possible
will go far toward assuring public
safety"
Secretary Wilson advises against
the use OF the so-called bacterial Gull
lures for the determination of the
pests. He says that experiments
have proved that only the rats that
eat the bait die, and that the disease
with which the bacteria affects them
is apparently not communicated TO
other rodents. Plain poison is the
best remedy.

YES. MONEY BACK.
Partisan Sage, the Hair Remover, IS
Now Sold In America ON
Money-Back Plan.

Tried them all and failed, thou
sands of people will say.
Try the real Partisan Sage and
succeed as thousands have done.
In Paris DR.. Sabourand discovered
the dandruff microbe and the way
to kill 1t.
In Paris women have most abund-
ant. beautiful, lustrous and fascinat-

They know about hair and its dis
eases in Paris, far more than we do.
They have institutions where the
study Of the hair is made a speciality.
Partisan Sage is the only certain
destroyer of the dandruff microbe
which is the cause of 81 per cent of
hair troubles.
These pernicions, persistent and
destructive little devils thrive on the
ordinary hair tonics.
Partisan Sage is such an extraor-
binary and quick acting rejuvenator
that Gilbert's drug store, who is the
agent in Paducah, guarantees ii TO
cure dandruff. stop falling hair and
itching scalp in two weeks or money

Partisan Sage is most daintily per-
fumed; it is an ideal preparation, not
sticky or greasy.
II is a magnificent dressing for
women who beside luxuriant, lust
rous hair that compels admiration.
and nothing is so good to keep the
head cool and free from odors in
summer.

Auburn hair is on every package.

FOR UNIFORM CLASSIFICATION,
Work on Rules. Weights and Descriptions Of
Freights to Go on in Chicago.

Substantial progress is being made by the rail-
roads toward agreement on uniform classttoa-
tion-uniforr2itv Of rules, minimum weights and
description Of articles-upon which TO base rates
upon freight moving in all parts Of the country.
At present the same articles are at times dn-
ferently classified and therefore. pay different
rates Of freight. according TO the particular one OF
the three classification territories in which they
move. When articles are differently classified con-
siderable confusion is likely TO arise when they
move from classification territory 10 the other
Railroad men however. recognize the evils Of the
situation. and effective efforts are being made to
meet them For many years efforts have been
made to harrnonize the differences in classification.

consideration warranted the conclusion by the COM

various elements should be taken into account It
was felt that new conditions which will make the
