Changes Made in Black Bill.

A substitute for the Black bill, pro-
viding for the removal of mayors for
not enforcing the laws, reported out
for passage the other day by the SEN
ate judiciary committee, lodges the re-
moval power in the governor and
eliminates common pleas judges, as
was provided in the original measure.
Instead of providing for compulsory
suspension when complaints are filed,
the substitute gives the governor dis
cretion in so acting. A new provision
gives the governor power to dismiss,
without hearing, charges that appear
trivial and unworthy of consideration.
When accused mayors are found
guilty the costs are to be assessed
against municipalities, and when
they are acquitted complainants are to
pay them.
Complaints, under the substitute,
are to be signed by 2 per cent of
electors in municipalities, instead of L
per cent as was originally provided.

A Clerical Definition.

Archbishop John j. Glennon was
called to Kansas City, his former
home, to attend conference of
church dignitaries. Among the church
men present was one very "stout"
bishop from Kansas. His front" was
the notable feature of his physical
makeup. He bore striking re-
semblance to figures the cartoonists
draw to represent the greedy trusts.
Like some Kansas people. he was in
clined to be just trifle breezy"
What is the difference" the rotund
bishop good naturedly asked Arch
bishop Glennon, between a bishop
and an archbishop"
WELL" replied Archbishop Glennon,
with glance at the Kansas bishops
'front.'" II should say it was mostly
in the arch. bishop."-St. Louis Post
Dispatch.

Substitute Bills offered.

Substitute bills for the Duval small
school board measure, wanted in Gin
cinnati by many citizens, were pre-
sented to the senate committee on
common schools by A. c. Morrell, Gin
cinnati, and Senator Thorne Baker.
Action on them was postponed for a
few days.
Both measures provide for refer
endum vote at general elections on
the small boards whenever petitions
signed by s per cent of electors OF
municipalities are presented. Under
the Baker substitute existing boards
are abolished If the people vote for a
small board. Before retiring, how
ever, they determine the size of the
small board and elect members of 1t
to serve until their successors are
chosen at the next general election.
Under the Morrell substitute, in
case of a vote for small board, on or
before December Is following the ref
erendum election, existing boards are
to fix the size of the small one. 1t diff
fers from the Baker substitute in per-
mitting present members-at-large to
serve on the small board, instead of
abolishing all present members. The
big board before retiring selects the
necessary new members, in addition
to the members-at-large. to bring the
membership of the small board up to
the designated size.

Voters to Pick House Asplrants.

All candidates for congress from
Ohio must now secure their nomina-
tions from the people direct. With
but two dissenting votes the senate
passed the Hawkins bill, already
passed in the house, abolishing con-
gressional district conventions and
making primary nominations manda-
tory. Minor amendments put In by

house and ratification will be but a
formality. The new law~is to 60 into

Money and expense are not essential to
artistic homes and attractive rooms. One
dollar and fifty cents worth of material
will completely transform crude, mar
tistic room into a graceful, dainty apart
ment.
Really it is good taste and skill that
makes the home homelike. That dainty
touch is worth twice as much as money.
Wall paper is expensive-it costs money
to buy it, to hang it and again to re.
move it. With the use of the alabastined
wall there is only the slight cost of the
material-any one can brush it on--and it
is not necessary to wash it off the wall
when a fresh coat is required.
1t is very easy to mix, very simple to
apply, but the results are simply beauti-
full. "A whole house can be done at just
q little more than the cost of single
room when ordinary materials are used.
And this is true, that now that we have
80 much better materials for use. in the
decoration of our homes, that wall paper,
common kalsomine and paint are now as
much out of date as the old time white
wash, tallow candles and rough hewn
floors. Mere money is no longer an es-
sential in good housefurnishing in artistic
home making.
The new materials and labor-saving ma.
chimes are most welcome to us ali-and
every thoughtful woman, every woman
who cares for her home, is quick to utilize
them r..f..

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

"When our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep we'll from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally got set of the Cuticura
Remedies and am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and half to see II it would return
but 1t never has and to-day his skin
Is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

Farmers should ca. moro oatmeal.

overlooking and selects the stock food
that he believes will give the best re-

AS OBSERVED BY THE BOY
Youthful Writer Jots Down What He
Knows Of the Sport Of log
Rolling.

Log rolling contests are lots OF fun.
One man gets on log with long
piker's pole in his hand, and another
fellow Is on another log waiting for
chance to jump on the other fel.
lows log. Then when both of them
are rolling their logs and showing of
before the crowd on the shore the
man with the long stride jumps over
onto the other fellows log and starts
rolling 1t in an opposite direction from
the way the man on the log was roll
ing it. Both of them jump around and
pretty soon the log whirls as fast as
squirrel in cage. Pretty soon the
man who had the most to drink before
they started, begins to lose his wind.
The other man who didn't have any
thing to drink gets cheered by the
crowd. BY this time the man who
did drink is pretty dizzy and thinks
he is standing on two logs. He jumps
from one to the other but gets mad
because two men are trying to roll
him Off. The crowd yells and tells the
other man to get the man who sees
two men, into the water. When the
man who didn't have anything to
drink does his best to roll the other
fellow off. that fellow thinks he is
standing on whole raft of logs and
just walks from one to the other. The
fellow who didn't have anything to
drink can't understand 1t and when
looks down to see where the other
man gets his footing the man who did
have the drinks jumps up and comes
down on the log with both feet and
the man who didn't have anything to
drink falls in the creek and is fished
out with the other mans long pole.
Then everybody has drink and the
man who fell in the creek wants to
bet the man who stayed on the log
that he can lick him, but the town
constable won't let them fight and
the man who owned the logs sets up
another drink and by that time every
one is happy

How to Make Good Coffee.

First, last and all the time, have a
clean coffee pot. Don't wash it with
common yellow laundry soap or pow

and gives the coffee sickening taste.
Easy Task soap sterilizes coffee pots
and all cooking utensils. making them
clean, sweet and wholesomely healthy.
That's the beauty of Easy Task soap
1t is just as good for cooking vessels
as for cloth or painted work or glass
