OW SHOULD like to come back to
the earth a hundred years from
now to see what changes sci
n ence, art and politics would
bring in the interval" said Benjamin
Franklin shortly before his death in
1880.
Bonnie would certainly sit up and
take a heap of notice of many things
we could show him. What would he
think of the aeroplane? 1 reckon he'd
acknowledge we were going some"
But the housewives of 1890 would be
equally surprised at the strides domes-
tic science has taken. and. as for table
decorations, what would they think of
adjoining their Fourth of July dinner
or supper tables with ROSTERS that had
not been acquainted with the oven7
Yet on "the day we celebrate" the
great and glorious independence day
of 1910, a certain hostess famed for her
novel entertainments will bring her ia
BILE decorations right up to date by pro-
viding a plaster of paris chanticleer
(rooster) as a centerpiece. The mon
arch of the barnyard will stand on an
artificial log made from brown Grape
paper. Surrounding the log, artificial
grass, also of Grape paper, will be fes-
TONED. A miniature white picket fence
Will tnclOSe the WnOIe. FaVOrS Will be
hidden among the grasses, to which
trlcolor ribbon streamers will be at
tached. At a time appointed by the
hostess the ribbons will be pulled by
the guests and the favors revealed.
To the hostess who likes to let her
patriotism shine before men and who
revels in the display of Old Glory the
table set for a Fourth of July supper
seen in the illustration will doubtless
appeal more strongly than the chan
ticleer effect. The centerpiece in this
instance is composed of a standard of
silk flags laid on a foundation of
shields and tiny flags. Four birch bark
canoes set with flags and with cargoes
Of sweet peas outline the sides of the
standard. Tiny candles arranged in
walnut shells are placed between the
canoes. The bonbon dishes are in
shield shapes. At the table corners
crystal candlesticks equipped with
sweet pea trimmings on their shades
are most effectively used. In the way
of edibles a fruit PURGE is a cooling
and delicious drink to serve at the

THE sin Of being tiredl What do

cannot be tired without feeling cross;
you cannot be tired without looking
cross; you cannot be tired without be-

an addition to any society.
Don't you know after a long days
work how you feel all nerves? And
you are quite aware that the least

Well, you have no business to feel

lines which when used as a Walking
gown provides a neatly fitting front
and back. The bottom Of the skirt
hangs halfway between the ankle and
the instep. The front is divided, one
part overlapping the other and each
held by stoutly sewed buttons.
For the links, for riding, the balloon
or the aeroplane the skirt is quickly
transformed by unbuttoning down the
front. The divided sides are then talk
en- up, giving freedom of movement de-
sired for outdoor activity.

THE cHILDREN,s HAIR.

Some children are liable to take cold
after having their hair washed. In or
der to prevent this the hair should be
rinsed in warm water to which a few
drops Of alcohol have been added and
wrung as dry as possible.
The hair should then be divided and
each strand be wiped well with a dry
towel. If the child is allowed to sit in
the sun for few minutes the hair will
dry very quickly.

EROCKS of net, large meshed and in
Russian weaves, are wonderfully
smart gown materials this summer,
and the costume illustrated is a good
example of the trend of fashion in this
direction.
This dainty little costume is carried
out in white Russian net, and the skirt
is trimmed with two killed founces of
the fabric edged with bands of black
satin. The guimpe bodice is outlined
at the square decolletage with button
trimmed band of the satin. Over the
sleeves are adornments of the satin
outlined with tiny gilt buttons, and the
short sleeves are finished in the same
way.

Future VegetarianiSm.

Prof A. Woeikof, after an exami-
nation of the geographical and econ
omic conditions of the problem, an
pounces his conclusion That the flu
ture meat will become too expensive
for ordinary food, and that man must
eventually derive practically all his
sustenance from the vegetable king
dom. But he believes that there will
be no lack of food on that account,
because the application of scientific
methods appears to be capable of in
creaslng the productiveness of the ag-
ricultural lands of the globe to an
almost unlimited extent. He thinks
the successful substitution of any
manufao ure product for vegetable food
is extremely improbable, because plant
life is capable of utilizing soar energy
much more economically than any
machine.

more beautiful than a June morning

past few weeks of gloom and rain how
we are made to rejoice when we hear
the songs of birds and the hum of
the bees and the merry plow boy as
he goes to and from the fields TO

they walk out in their flower gardens

HANCOCK COUNTY
VOTES DRY. !"
Temperance Forces Win by Ma
jority Of Over Eight
Hundree.

Hawesvilbe, KY, June 16.-The
Temperance people won great vic
tory in the local option fight in this
county here to-day, carrying every
precinct in the county by largely in
creased majorities over the vote Cd
four years ago, when the "drys" won
by a majority of 1856. Their ma
jority to-day is slightly over 500 and
the total vote was abou. 200 more
than four years ago.
The we.s made desperate effort
to win, importing two strong speak
ems of the National Model License
league and holding meetings in
ever" part of the county. In this
way the temperance people were
thoroughly aroused and they desert
ed work and crops and voted early.
ThrAe-fourths OF the vote cast was
cast before IL a. m. The most per-
feet order was observed at all the
polling places and there was no
sign whatever of drunkenness, the
vets having pitched their campaign
this time on an intellectual plane. 1t
seems, however, that this plane and
their platform did not prove sue
cessful.
The citizens have been very indig-
nant over the attempt of some one
to nullify the election in four of the
strongest "dry" precincts by break
ing into the court house and defacing
many of the ballots intended for
those precincts, and they quickly
subscribed reward of 5000 for the
arrest and conviction of the culpnbt.

adjournment of the court on the third
day. AT the opening of the afternoon
session counsel for the Society,C. w.
Smith, moved the court to instruct
the Jury to find for the defendant for
the reason that the evidence offered
by the plaintiff showed that he was
not entitled to recover.
Counsel for the Society made very
brief but convincing argument in sup
port of his motion, during which
Judge Hebron was taken with quite
a severe attack of Indigestion and
was not able to proceed with the
argument. His associate counsel d.
clined to take the responsibility of
attempting to answer the argumnet in
support of motion. Thereupon the
court, with the hearty approval of
the Socetys counsel, out of courtesy
to Judge Heffron continued the case
until the next morning, hoping that
the judge m'ght be able to proceed
then. The next morning he was yet
Ill, and the cause could not be de-
layed. Judge Cofer and Mr.. Dougan,
associate counsel fer plaintiff, liable
lawyers again declined to take the
responsibility to answer the argument
in support of the motion and fter
consultation with Mr.. Everitt nd
Judge Heffron they dismissed the
cause.
AT ter the cause was dismissed the
presiding Judge openly stated that he
would have been compelled to instruct
the jury to find for defendants.
The editor is of the opinion that
the cause was dismissed because Mr..
Eyeritt and his counsel saw "the

case in the Hendricks Circuit Court

His complaint was in three para
graphs. The first on an alleged ac-
count stated, under which he claimed
about $7,500.00. The second was for
money paid to and for the Society's
use, and for material furnished, in
Guiding Uip-to--Date Farming to MEM
bers of the Society, and under this
paragraph he claimed s25,0O0.00. The
third paragraph was for an alleged
breach of duty ON the part of the So
ciety in various regards, and under
this paragraph he claimed $25, 5000
On the trial Of the cause he first
put on the stand as witness in his
stand himself to support mis- claim.
Before his cross-examination was
completed and before being taken Ill
his counsel dismissed as to the second
and third paragraphs. At the con-
clusion of Everitt's testimony, his
counsel announced that he had no
more evidence to offer in support of
the complaint nd rested his cause.

Values in Bread.

Bread, the staff of life in North
America and Europe, is practically
unknown as such in the greater part
of the world, and much more than two
thirds of the people living on this
ARTICLE OF food Neveqtheless, bread,
or rather the various kinds of bread
that are used as food, forms the most
nourishing diet known to science.
But, strangely enough, the most ex-
penslve bread is by no means the most
nourishing, and, indeed, the most ex-
pensive of all breads-the fine white
Loaf bread of wealthy Americans-is
perhaps the least in value as regards
the chemicals It supplies for renew
ing the demands made upon the body.
Black bread-a term usually taken to
mean poor breud-is really more nour-
Shing than the white loaf, ard in
general terms it can be stated as an
absolute fact that the finer the flour
the less chemical value it has when
put in the human stomach
Black bread usually refers 30 bread
made up from rye, but the barley loaf
of bread Is very nourlshing and is
much more easily digested then either
the wheat or rye produce. Barley
bread has passed out Of ordinary use,
va. 200 years ago it furnished THE bulk
OF the breadstuff eaten in England
and to-day is the staple article of
food in all the Europe north of the
German Empire.
AS Regards the nutritive values of
rye and wheat bread, chemists favor
Che rye bread slightly, for it contains
more soluble carbohydrates. On the
other hand, wheat contains slightly
more gluten, which Is 4 valuable food
product. The other chemical differ

it is more easily diges,ed and J. has

for countless of dwellers in cities,
tied down to desks and office work,
the rye bread is useful Il is well to
change from rye to wheat bread and
BY alternating between the two the
health can be greatly improved

persisted in for six months or more,
Whereas a shortage Of wheat is al
ways accompanied by murmurs that
che people may have to eat the black
or rye bread, 1t is also a fact that
psvsons reared on rye bread vastly
prefer It. 1t is certain that the rye
bread has a more characteristic fla
vor than the comparatively tastless
white wheat article.
