When cold weather comes 1t is wise to
protect the face when out Of doors. How
ever normal the color of the nose may re-
main in the open, as soon as person
thus afflicted goes indoors the blood will
rush to the extremities and the nose will
tingle and burn.
AS a protection against cold thick knit
ted veilS such as until recently were re-
served for the use Of babies, may be worn
to keep the temperature around the face
comparatively normal.
Tea and coffee are as great stimulants
as alcoholics, as far as increasing the cir
culation, and SO should be avoided by per-
sons with red noses. Hot and cold water.
too, must not be applied. Only that which
Is tepid will not increase the tendency TO
redden. Direct contact with heat, such
as sitting before an open fire or register,
is unwise for persons who want to pre-
vent red noses from becoming redder.
Although indigestion may cause the
nose to turn red. to starve ones self in
the belief that this will aid the color Of
that organ Is the greatest mistake. Plenty
of food that is nourishing and easily d.
gested must be eaten, and 1t IL better not
to let the stomach become empty. When
that happens redness Of the face almost
always follows eating. whereas such
flushing may be avoided by not going too
long without food.

A plain cretonne curtain tackled just under

The WING landslide of 1910 which
elected ''Tippecanoe and Tyler. too gave
the wings a large majority of the House
of Representatives, but like the popular
whig following, it was united in nothing
but opposition to Van Buren, and the pre-
vailing type of democracy. Gen. Harrison
died after only month in the White
House and was succeeded by John Tyler,
a Calhoun democrat, whose refusal to
support Van Buren, was based not upon
his sympathy with Clay and other wing
leaders, but upon the fact that van
Buren, was too much Of a loose con-
structionist. The WING majority passed
a bill chartering a national bank. Tyler
vetoed it. Another bill was drawn to
meet the objections of the President, but
he vetoed that also. The wings de-
nounced him, and in the "of' year cleo
ton of 1912 the democrats won sweep
ing victory and gained control of the
lower house of Congress by a majority
of two to one.
The slavery question was becoming
more and more acute, sectional strife was
becoming more and more bitter. But
neither party was willing to take stand
on this all-important question. The
abolitionist party made its appearance
in 1910, but it's candidates received only
a few more than 1000 votes. President
Tyler favored the annexation OF Texas'
which would add to the slave territory.
The Texas question became the principal
issue.
AS the campaign of 1874 approached it
seemed that Clay and Van Buren, would
be the leaders of the
Polk and Clay two parties. They
the Nominees. met a. he * Eeon
the Texas question out of the presidential
campaign. That action cost Van Buren,
the democratic nomination. for while ne
had a majority of the delegates he couio
not get the necessary two-thirds, and by
grace of Andrew Jackson, then virtually
on his deathbed, James K. POLK was
nominated by the democrats at Baltimore.
Clay received the whig nomination. He
weakened himself materially by writing
to an Alabama wing that he had no per.
sonal objection to the annexation o,
Texas Polk materially strengthened
himself by demanding the complete oc-
cupation of Oregon to the northernmost
boundary and his slogan OF F1fty-1our
forty or fight was as compelling IN us
alliterative lure as was the Ilppecanoe
The Observation-Disclosures party polled
more than 1000 votes, of which $4,000
were cast in New York. Had these votes
gone to Clay he would have been elected,
But even vet the sectional issue was not
clearly drawn Polk and Clay We're ootn
southerners and Shareholders. Polk failed
to carry. his own state Of Tennessee, the
only time a successful presidential candi-
date ever failed to get the electoral votes
of his own state. He did carry many
northern states, however-Illinois. !ndi-
ana. Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire.
New York and Pennsylvania. Clay car
ried five slave states-Kentucky. Tonnes
see, Delaware, Maryland and North Caro-
lima.

Yet In the congressional elections of
1S46 the people refused to be Influenced
by the war with
Lincoln and Davis Mexico, and casting
all party and per-
III ConSIeSS' sonal loyalty aside
they elected a new Congress OF the 22s
members chosen that year fewer than
100 had served in the previous Congress
The proportion of new members was
greater than at any time, not excepting
even the young republican Congress
elected in 1910. Among the new men
elected in that year by the revolt of the
conscience wings of Illinois was Abra-
ham Lincoln. On the same day he took
his seat in the House Jefferson Davis was
sworn in as a senator from MISSISSIPPI
Born in the same twelvemonth and within
few miles of each other in Kentucky
one had gone to Illinois in poverty and
Indebtedness, to become in time the great
leader of the Union cause, the preserver
of the Union and the chief apostle of
American democracy. The other had
quit the army after a brilliant career,
and was now Mississippi patrician des-
tined to become the chief champion of
Calhoun's doctrine of states rights, and
fated to captain the lost cause of the
south. In this Congress there was a NOM
inal WING majority but in fact the south
was in control, and party lines did not
measure sectional differences. The party
organizations were based upon the preju-
dces engendered in past political quar-
rels, and depended for their success upon
the personality of their candidates. Nei-
Their party was brave enough to adopt a
platform of principles dealing with the
main question actually at issue
Congressional elections however, began
to take on more and more the coloring of
sectionalism. Even as early as 1874 sew
eral prominent New York democrats who
had supported Van Buren, for the nomina-
tion,. advised the people to vote for Polk
but at the same time to elect members
of Congress opposed to annexation. Chief
among these ''insurgent' democrats was
William Cullen Bryant, editor of the New
York Evening Post This was the first
gun fired in the battle between insurgent
and regular democrats which was to give
the opportunity for founding the new re-
publican party.
