"On one OCCASION" said a London
actor, II decided to take a house In
the suburbs and after a good deal of
hunting about found one that suited
my purse. Indeed, it was so excess
sively cheap that | was on the point of
signing the lease at once, when 1t oc-
cured TO me that | had better take
another look at it by gaslight. That
night / was making a second tour of
inspection and went into the dining
room. 1t was a balmy summer night,
and as ! threw open the window 1
heard a peculiar tapping sound.
KNOCK, knock, knock.

There was silence for a moment, and
then the noise continued. / turned to

Cookery
Points

Nothing Is more refreshing than a
cup OF good tea when one Is travelling,
and nothing is harder to find when one
Is en- route. One way to be sure Of it
Is to provide ones favorite brand and
tie 1T up by t~easpoonfuIs in squares Of
loosely woven cheesecloth. When a
cup OF tea Is wanted ice water or hot
water Is never difficult to obtain, and
ones own bag may provide the bev-
erage. The bag is easier to throw
away than the loose dregs. The little
bags should be kept in a tin box or the
flavor will be lost If the trip is to be
OF any length. A tea making spoon or
a tea ball answers the same purpose,
but 1t leaves the dregs to be disposed
of and is more messy.

was fighting in the suit had a reputa-

This phrase caught the jury, and
Robinson won his case, but n doesn't
hear any such 'oratory' as that nova

More News of
The Scientist
And His Great Discovery That Is
Doing So Much Good.

The Root Juice scientist said that
most of the troubles common to HUI
mainly originate In the stomach, and
he is proving 1t by the hundreds of
remarkable cures his discovery is
making all over the country. The
people at the Lauer drug store have
undoubted proofs from many we'll
known people of the state. Over at
Lafayette, Ind, Mrs. Frank Kerst, a
sister of Ex-Governor Hanly, derived
so much good from the great remedy
that she permitted her name to be
published in her home papers for
the benefit Of those who suffer as
she did. The following was recently
published by the Peoria Journal:
."The people of Peoria no longer
doubt. Root Juice has done so much
good for so many people of this city
that there is hardly a neighborhood
where the great medicine has not

with indigestion and constipation
and was SO and irritable

low and suffered much with my

three bottles of Root Juice and as

WOODROW WILSON BOOM.

The Newark Evening News has
this to say about the boom for
Woodrow Wilson for governor:
The proposition to make Woodrow
Wilson the democratic candidate for
governor of New Jersey reflects
credit upon those responsible for 1t.
The doctor is both a Democrat
and a democrat. He believes In the
party because to his mind 1t en-
bodies the philosophy of govern
ment designated by it's name.
He understands that philosophy.
His conceptions of it's underlying
principles, are clear as crystal. His
writings and his public addresses
record an adequate grasp of the very
soul of American institutions.
The president of Princeton is
more than a scholar, however. ~He
Is Imam of action.
He is of the world and interested
In it. To him knowledge is useless
unless used. He. puts ideals into
practice. 1t is his distinction to adj
Just the best in morals, In education,
in craftsmanship to the practical
purposes of the every day.
All this is abundantly demonstrate
ed in his career as the executive
head Of a great university.
Dr., Wilson's attitude toward the
proposed honor is problematical.
There Is q great work to be done at
Princeton and the doctor is not a
man to turn back after putting his
hand to the pillow. The sphere of a
public educator is extremely attrac-
tive, as it is tremendously useful.
He may decide that his duty is there. |
On the other hand, the guberna-
torfai office presents unusual oppor-
tunities for usefulness. The new
issues demand thorough knowledge,
high ideals and fearless independ-
ence. There is q crisis at hand and
man who meets 1t ia the man
Who not only understands the phflos-
'phy Of Jul institutions, but has the
courage to apply 1t.
