vapor Bath at Home.

There's great danger in sudden chills and colds and few cures are more cer- tain if a chill has been caught than a Turkish bath This. however, is not within the reach of all. and the fol- lowing directions by which an effec- tive vapor bath can be obtained in the home without recourse to elabor- ate apparatus may be of use The ar ticles necessary for the vapOr bath are:
 Two or even three blankets.
 A bucket half full of cold water, and a sponge.

 After stripping sit on the chair. under which has been placed the yes sel containing the boiling water-be careful not to upset it-put your feet into the bath placed there for this purpose. draw quickly around your body the blankets to prevent the steam from escaping. Sit so until you feel the sweat running down you. Remain so for a few minutes. Then throw off the covering step into the bathtub, and sluice body in hot water and brush with plenty of soap, spOnging after ward with cold water. and dry we'll
 The vapor bath should not be in dulged in too often, or, instead of be- ing beneficial, it will have a debilitat- ing effect upon the system.

FOUR SMART CONNECTICUT
 BOYS.

There are four Miller boys in Bridge port who fifty years ago were started in life with Sf00 apiece, and now they are worth nearly as many millions as they were given hundreds, for their total holdings are $25.000,000. They were Drank, Darius, N. G., and Charles MilleD, boys who never heard of an
 eight- hour or ten hour day and knew
 no holiday but July 4th, when they
 were given 9 cents each to spend. Mir. Frank Miller, president of the City bank, is quoted as follows:
 We have always fought shy of politics, Never had time to get into
 that sort of thing. Some people have a talent for it. and better let 'em
 do it. My advice is to stick to straight business. This country is politicians and too much politics plain about the country and say it is going to the dogs. It isn't. The coun- try is better than it ever was
 'It costs to live. but look at what you get for your labor. Keep inside of the amount of your earnings and you can do it without suffering and the money will pile up. Be wise in your investments and the money will do the rest I have a mine out III thS west dHu every year HdNe tO go out there to look after it. and as I ride across the country I cannot help thinking what a wonderfully rich and prosperous land we have here. It takes the foreigners who come over here to understand how to live and get ahead. Coming from a land where frugality is taught, they start in practicing it and they get ahead"
 The Miller boys do not think that the old times were the best times. They are of the opinion that were they to start with $700 apiece now they could make a better showing in the next half-century than they have in the past

The Movina Pictures.

A report says that Cleveland men who investigated the moving picture shows of that city found that 40 per cent. of the 29O films examined were unfit for children to see; 13.4 per cent. represented robk cry; 13.1 per cent. murder; S.2 per cent. indecent sugges- ton; 5.s per cent. domestic infidelity' Others represented loose ideals of mar riage Kidnapping and suicide. They also found that 21 per cent. of the evening audiences were under IS years of age. We count 1t likely that sim liar state of things would be found to prevail in many cities where the nov ing picture show is highly developed. The writer has often expsrimented by asking the children of the things they have seen and heard at such shows. And one of the things first mentioned a seen recently would be likely to be a murder or a hanging or robbery of some kind.
 It will be said. and rightly. that there is a certain suggestion conveyed by such pictures. and that the child. who Is essentially initiative. will of ten try to reproduce what he has seen. And experience shows that this is so. But a worse result than this is sort of coarsening of the small child's mind by the pictures he sees. by the songs he hears and by some of the vaudeville acts which are performed. The result is a Vitiated taste. so that the better things do not and cannot enter the mind quite as they would if it were not occupied by these other images.
 The moving picture show as an in- stitution is doubtless here to stay. And it has many excellencies that one would not urge that 1t be abolished. But there is ground for the belief that if the managers do not themselves ex- ercise a rigid censorship over the pro- auctions towns and cities will soon make provision for this sort of inspec- tion-Newburyp port Herald.

INsuRelNe IN SEASON AND OUT

The insurgents in the west are anti-Roeseveit as well as anti-Taft, and are attempting to satisfy their znimosities in the most peculiar way. On Thursday of this week Theodore Roosevelt is booked to break ground for the new railroad station at Kan sas City. 8 purely local, commercial event, but the insurgents are out against the proceedings with protests as weak as they are silly. The Kan sas City Journal feels constrained to call the insurgents to order and to notify them that the occasion is not one for politics. Speaking in behalf of the city and the people. The Jour nal says ..To seek to make poIiti- cal capital out of so broad a propo- sition as the beginning of work on Kansas City's new station is in wretchedly poor taste. to say the least
 The new station will be a monu- 1nent to Kansas City's industrial and comm ercial greatness. The formal foundations of such monument might be very appropriately laid by some distinguished citizen of the re- public like Colonel Roosevelt. Pos <ibJy the enterprise which means so much to Kansas City and which nat urally assumes large proportions in 1he view of local people may be dwarfed in the eyes of one to whom the construction of the Panama canal would be regarded as not a very Formidable undertaking. But the honor of laying the corners tone of such an edidce is one which need not be scorned by any guest of the city. however distinguished. The spade which throws the first few ciods on that occasion will probably be preserved among the city's indus trial and commercial souvenirs and 1r will lose none of its significance or propriety by having been handled by Theodore Roosevelt.

A writer in the Woman's Home Com paion for. September tells the secret of how an old carpet was maAe to do service for a new stair covering. She says: stAs we needed a new stair carpet and did not feel that we could afford one, I began to look around the house to see what there was on hand that could be used. In the attic I found a worn-out body Brussels car pet. the back of which was a light tan. I ripped the seams and on the back of the strips made a small stem cilled border in brown.

When Frying Bacon.

Tn so many households bacon and eggs are the most popular breakfast dish that more than one housewife may be glad of a tip concerning the bacon's preparation
 If the bacon is too salt (and 1t is. indeed sometimesD place a little water in the pan in which you intend frying it. Let the water come to q boil. then pour the water off and cook the bacon in the usual manner.
 Not only does this method do away with the saltiness but it renders the ba con more tender as well.

Now is the time for every household to guard itself as far as possible against the danger of typhoid fever. Recent reports of the various health departments show an increase in the number of cases.
