coUGHED TOOTH FROM LUNG

Mrs. William H. Miller, of Lock
Haven, Pa, whose illness for eleven
months puzzled physicians who had
been called to treat her. had violent
fit of coughing the other night during
which she remarked to her husband
that something had torn loose from
her lung.
The next instant she was seized
with another coughing spell, when
she elected a hard, bonelike particle
from her mouth On examination it
proved to be tooth. Since then the
patient, who had suffered much, is
improving and hope is now enter
tanned for her recovery.
A year ago, Mrs. Miller, while under
the influence of an anaesthetic, had a
number of teeth extracted and one of
them must have slipped down her
throat and entered the lung.

Value of the Old Carpet

There should always be a strip of
carpet to put under the tubs and un.
der the ironing board for the laun-
dress to stand on. They may be
easily pulled up and put out of sight
afterward.
Often, too, the refrigerator is not
ready to receive the ice, or there may
be too much, and the best way to
keep it for few hours is to cover it
with newspaper and then wrap it
in the indispensable old carpet which
has first been thoroughly cleansed.
Another use for strip about six
feet long is for runner" In house.
holds where there are children. or
many persons coming in and out, this
runner will save the carpet on a rainy
day when it seems quite impossible
for every one to wipe his feet thor
oughly.

ChiIdren's Rompers.

A new idea in children's rompers is
circular cut designed more especial
ly for small girls play, because the
fulness created by the circular sug-
gests skirt.
1t is made from pink and white or
blue and white checked bingham.
The sleeves are elbow length, taken
into band cuffs, and the garment is
prettily trimmed with narrow folds of
white piping. Rompers may now be.
bought for babies of one or two years
of age. The material is checked ging-
ham. made with square-cut neck and
short puff sleeves.

Good Uses to Which the Leftover
Pieces Can Be Put by the
Thrifty Housewife.

The wise housewife knows the value
of leftover pieces of carpet.
When a carpet gets too old for use
and is taken up to be replaced by a
better one, do not give it to the rag
man. Of course it is foolish to keep
more stuff of that sort around than
you can possibly use, but there are
many places where bit of old car
pet may be used to advantage.
In a kitchen with stone floors it
will be a great comfort to the cook to
have little rugs, which may be made
of short strips of the carpet to use in
the places where she will do any con-
tinuous standing. 1t is much less tir-
ing to stand on carpet than on either
stone floor or boards, and these
strips, small enough to be shaken
easily, and of small loss If things
are dropped on them, are practical
saving.

it means a hat without crown. -

Latest Freakish Novelty for Woman's

The spider beauty spot veil is the

copy of spider in black chenille and
is posed outside the veil. 1t is almost
an inch and half in diameter. The
veil is worked in imitation of spi-

When Mrs. James Burnt, of Han

spoiled blackberries her four hens
toasted on them until they became
helplessly inebriated.
Mrs. Burnet thought they were dead

CAMP AIGN FOR
FREEDOM Of THE
STATE CLOSED
1t Is Up to the Voters to Decide
Where California Shall

Alignment Plain Between Polit-

By HIRAM w. JOHNSON

To the Voters of California: The
campaign for the freedom of the state
of California from the interests, which,
was begun nearly nine months ago, is
now closed and the issue is in your
hands. 1 have made the fight and 1T Is
for you, by your votes, to decide where
California shall stand among the states.
The alignment is now we'll estab-
lished between a free state on one side,
and all the associated forces of polit-
ical and civic corruption on the other
You have it from the open efforts on
the part of every adherent and per-
sonal assistant of William f. Herrin
and the Southern Pacific political ma
chine just where Herrin and that ma
chine stand. You have it from the
lips of Earl Rogers, the attorney for
Patrick Calhoun, just where the corrupt
interests that have debauched the city
of San Francisco stand. You have 1t
from the tools of the allied special in
terests Just where big business" stands.
1t is not q matter of the personality
of this candidate. or any other candi-
date. Let no man consider that by
casting his vote against me he does me
personal injury. but let every man
consider well. in casting his vote the
injury he may do his state, his family
and himself. 1t is no longer my tight.
It has not been my personal fight. 1t
is your fight and it is yours to say
whether the struggle that brave men
have made for 40 years shall now be IN
vain.
At no time in the long and heroic
struggle has the opportunity for free

so near in their hands Think We we'll
how long 1t will be before again you
will have so great an opportunity. Con-
slider solemnly that the defeat of that
element in the dominant party of Cali
fornia which has wrested control from
William F. Herrin and the associated
interests of debauchery and corruption
will mean the return to power of the
most baleful influence that ever domi-
mated a state government.
The alignment is plain and has been
made by our opponents. On one side
are Ruef Calhoun, Burke, Herrin and
Hearst-all working in unison for the
democratic candidates; on the other
side, refusing concession or compro-
mise. 1 stand. It is yours to choose

OLD DEMOCRAT wARHoRsE

A. A. Watkins was introduced as an
old democratic warhorse.
Il want to speak to the democrats"
declared Watkins. Il have nothing to
say against Walter Macarthur. He is
an honorable man. but in Washin gton
there is the republican administration,
and we want a republican there. AS
president of the board of trade I want
to say that We have frequently called
on Mr.. Kahn and always found him
ready to aid us to the utmost of his
ability. If there are any democrats
here 1 hope that they will cast their
vote tomorrow for the return of Mr..
Kahn to congress" (Cheers.)
James McNab, "a wheel horse of the
Panama-Pacifc movement" asfhe was
introduced. spoke briefly in advocating
the election of Kahn. He declared that
Kahn would not be defeated. McNab
said he was sure the people of the state
would vote the Panama-Pacif1c bonds.
Wheeler read letter to show that
Congressman Rodinberg was not ad-
verse to San Francisco nor Kahn. Then
he introduced the candidate for con-
gress from the fourth congressional dis
trict.
CHEERS GREET KAHN
Julius Kahn was greeted with pro-
longed cheering. He said:
THE report that / voted against San
Francisco interests on lumber is ma
licious. absurd, false At the time of the
Chicago fire congress did take off the
duty on all building material but lum-
ber. But after the Boston fire. the Gal
weston disaster and the Baltimore fire
bills were entered to remove duties on
building material, but congress would
not pass them, declaring them to be un-
constitutional.
"I have always made 1t a point in
congress to tell the truth. and that L
have done to my constituents. Some
weeks ago an evening paper which has
been abusing me said that the exposi-
tion matter might not come up for a
year. But the man who is elected to-
morrow will not be sworn in until De-
cember, 1911.
The line is clear. The democrats
came from thes old south. They are
all for New Orleans. The west is for
San Francisco, but from all the great
area from the Rocky mountains to the
Pacific we have only 81 members.
eff we hope to win congressional ap-
proval we must have the republican
organization with the San Francisco
exposition.
do you think you can gain more for
San Francisco If you electa republican
to congress from republican district
the man who presented your bill in
congress-or by electing a democrat?
If you believe that the reelection of
that republican will help you best. then
/ hope tomorrow you will cast your
votes for me. (Cheers)
The San Francisco call., 1910-11-08

to Washington, whether you want to
or not. There is work for you to do
there. I am no politician am San
franciscan (cheers) and l thought that
citizens of San Francisco would unite
in indorsing Kahn for reelection
"If Kahn had said he would not run
for reelection it would have been our
duty to go to him and tell him that he
must run. There is one man and one
man only for us. We may not like Mr.
Kahn. but we want the exposition and
that is the way to get it. While presi-
dent of the chamber of commerce never
once did / make a call on Mr.. Kahn
when the answer was not received at
once immediate, courteous and effective.
What he could do in Washington for
the Portola festival was the result of
his repeated reelection.
Suppose an insurgent congress is
elected or a democratic congress. don't
forget that it will be the present ad-
ministration that will settle the fair
question.
See the men who are on this plat
form tonight-men who have been on
the exposition committee for year
the men here or take the word of a
man in the street who knows nothing
about conditions
I'VE want vote polled up near
unanimous al possible to show that
the whole of San Francisco is behind
the fair" (Cheers.)
