Can Taft Put Halo on Aldrich?

1t, in his Boston banquet speech, Taft sounded
the key note of his 13, 000-me junket, he will prob
ably meet harsh criticism, not to say rotten eggs,
before he has "swung around in the middle west
and far west very far.
Aldrich's reputation is made Taft cannot re-
make it, Aldrich stands as the chief exponent of
robber tariff that has forced the people of the mid
die west and far west and northwest to support the
manufacturing trusts of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania. He is known as the bellicose
champion and plant tool of the privileged interests,
that have taken from the pockets of the common
people to put into the pockets of billionares.
If, in all our history, there is man more than
another who has stood for caste, monopoly legisla-
ton, special privilege corporation greed concerted
oppression and monied aristocracy, that man is
Aldrich and Bill Taft isn't big enough to hide his
horns split hoofs and forked tail, or paint him
new complexion that will conceal his blackness. The
American people know the devil when they see him,
and are not cOlOr-blind.
But Taft proposes to go further than start rep
utation for angelhood for Aldrich based on what
Aldrich did to the tariff. He recommends that,
der Aldrich's leadership, "a sound and safe none
tary and banking SYSTEM be given to the country

It is great scheme. Heads, ''the interests" win.

the west. There honest patriots in the region

TOMNiY'S DREAM

night after he had eaten his sup.

just couldn't help but watch it as
it sailed through the sky.

that's there's a man in the moon,
SO he looked ever so hard to see
If he could see him. Sure enough,
he could see the mans face-big.
fat and round.
AS he looked Tommie's eyes
kept blinking more and more
slowly, when all Of a sudden he
saw that moon coming nearer
and nearer the house, and he dis
covered it was really the head of
a great big giant, whose body
and clothes seemed to be made of
floating clouds.
He was big jolly fellow, and
Tommie wasn't a bit afraid
when Mr.. Moon squeezed himself
in through the window and
chuckled as he said, "Hello, lit
tie man, 1 saw you peeping at me
and as ! noticed that you grew
tired looking so far l came to see
you. l just love little boys and
girls, so I stalk through the
clouds~every night and watch over
the little ones and send the fairies
to them with pleasant dreams
while they sleep"
Tommie asked him all about
the dream fairies, and Mr.. Moon
talked and told stories until he
had to go back to his sky home.
He promised he would come back
some other night and tell Tom

The three great forward steps in
woman's housework are:
The modern range in place of the
old fireplace and kettle;
The sewing machine in place of
laborious hand-sewing;
Fels-Naptha soap, which makes it
easy to wash clothes in cool or lukewarm
water, without boiling or hard rubbing.
Of these three, Fels-Naptha saves the
woman more back-breaking labor, more
time, more money, and does more to
make life pleasanter than either of the
others.
At the very first, you can see how it
saves time and labor, but perhaps you'll
wonder how Fels-Naptha saves money.
In two ways: First it saves the cost of
coal or gas to heat water and boil the
clothes.
Then the clothes last longer when
washed with Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water.
Their fibre isn't weakened by boil
ting nor strained by hard rubbing.
You can't realize just what a help
-Naptha is until you've tried it in
your own washing.
Why not begin next washday1
Fels-Naptha easy way of washing in
place of the tiresome, tedious back-break-
ing method.
Use it according to directions on the
red and green wrapper, winter or summer.

MOTHER PROBLEMS

All the pleasure of going bare
footed is destroyed when there is
a bruised or cut foot. Blood poison
occurs too often not to care for
a wound of the most Insignificant
kind. The injured part should be
carefully washed in tepid water.
If the foot bleeds, allow the blood
to run for a while to clense the
wound. Only when an artery is
severed is it necessary to have a
physician. A wash water in
which a very little carbolic acid
is placed will be sufficient, and
the wound covered with a clean
cloth.
A professional nurse says,
Sometimes just bathing a nervous
child in water in which a table,
spoon of salt has been dissolved,
and rubbing him gently after
ward, will quiet him when nothing
Ielse will"

Dear Miss Grey:
When a young man calls to see
me, he calls only once or twice,
then never comes again. I treat
him as we'll as / can. What is
wrong, and what can | do to REM
edy the matter? ANXIOUS Z
A.-The chances are that you
are so anxious that you bore him.
Possibly you are nervous and ex-
cited, which state of mind is
readily communicated. That may
be the reason he does not return,
for it is proverbial that boys and
men like to be comfortable in
mind and body. Learn self-con-
troll, be your own simple, natural
self, treat him just as If he were
one of your girl friends, and
don't show too much anxiety to
be entertaining. If you are at
your ease he will be, and If he
lis he will come again.

"a, 100000 VISIT NEW YORK
OUT OF TOWN GUESTS SPEND
HALF BILLION A YEAR.
Hotel Keepers, Theatre Managers and
Shop Owners Get Most of 1t
Into Their Golfers.


NEW YORK.-The amount of
money spent in this city by out-of-
town visitors every year has now
reached a point where it surpasses
the estimated cost of the Panama
canal. While an annual outcry is
raised over the fact that 100000
600 of American money is spent each
year by tourists in Europe the
amount which goes into the Golfers
OF hotel keepers, theatre managers
and shop owners in this city from
the purses of visitors from the rest
of the country now amounts, it is es-
timated on a conservative basis, as
$5OO,000,000. During the month of
November Father Knickerbocker has
entertained nearly 100000 out-of-
town visitors, which practically
doubles the monthly figure for las
year. AS nearly as can be computed
the average visitor here spends at
least $50 for accommodations food,
entertainment and general shopping
purchases, which figured on the basis
of November figures, amounts to
800, 100000 month. Naturally
the expenditure is less during the
summer, though even then the city
is a Mecca to out-Of-town residents.
Averaging up for the whole year,
however, the amount of out-of-town
money spent here annually is not less
than half a billion dollars, AMI by
many experts is estimated to be much
more. The hotels are now crowded
far beyond their limit and are feed
ing more than 100000 visitors daily,
while boarding houses are caring for
at least 100000 persons. At the
Hotel Astor recently 1920 people
ordered meals during a single day,
and in various other hotels the num-
Der was almost as large With "a
100000 visitors coming to New York
every year it is now figured that on
an average every man, woman and
child in the United States visits this

footed KISSES TO LADY LOVE.
Engineer Annoys Jersey Town Where
800 Toots Daily Disturb Peace.


The Improvement association Of
Edgewater Park, ~ j., has found
much cause for complaint recently in
the whistle shrieks of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad locomotives. Not less
than 500 toots a day is on the pro-
gramme for regular trains that pass
through the town. An investigation
was set on foot and it was discov-
cred that a large proportion of the
unnecessary footing was caused by an
amatory engineer who conveyed his
love messages to his sweetheart by
means of the steam whistle on his
locomotive. No sooner would the
shrill shrek sound forth than a fair
haired young girl would come out on
the porch of her home and throw
kisses to the engineer, who would
return them and give a few extra
blasts in recognition of the saluta-
tions.
The Improvement association has
decided that if the engineer can not
WOO his fair young friend without
annoying the whole town he would
better have her home moved farther
away.
