THAT'S GRATITUDE.

A news item from the capital
city states that Governor Geo.
W. Donaghey will yield to the
demand Of his friends and be-
come a candidate for United
States senator in opposition to
Senator Davis. The same item
declares that the influence of
Senator James p. Clarke will be
used in favor Of Gov, Donaehey
That's the only strange part Of
the story.
Unassisted by the influence Of
Gov. Jeff Davis it is very gener-
ally conceded that the Hon.
James p. Clarke would not be
warming a seat in the United
States senate. Clarke literally
went into office by taking firm
grip on the coattails Of Gov, Jeff
Davis and hanging on with the
tenacity attributed TO bull pups.
In the heyday Of his own glory
and power Jeff Davis literally
picked up James p. Clarke, a
man who made himself unpopular
as governor and who made a
miserable showing in a former
race for United States senator,
and carried him to victory. Jeff
Davis did this for James-~P.
Clarke before he sought q seat in
the senate for himself.
There is no more despicable
sin In the world than the sin Of
ingratitude, A sense Of common
decancy and modern respectable.

Hon, James p, Clarke in his very

SAVED OLD LADY's HAIR

called an eczema, and for it I had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
In spite of what they both did One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scaling of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to CUT
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head Of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.

feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.

MISSOURI STATE NEWS !
Water Systems for Farms.

With view to improve the SAM
tary conditions of farm homes in Mis-
souri,, especially the conditions sur
rounding the water supply, the expert
ment station at the school of engineer
ing of the University of Missouri has
planned three methods whereby the
farmer can have an abundant supply
OF running water all the time. The
first system they experimental with
was what is called by them the attic
tank system. 1t consists of tank
placed in the attic of the house or
some outbuilding. This system can
be installed complete, with hot water
supply, for about $3.50. Another sys
tenn consists of outdoor tanks put on
substantial foundation and built OF
either steel, wood or concrete. The
third system, and the one that is for
all purposes most practical, is known
as the pneumatic system. This con-
sists of an air pressure tank which
can be located wherever there is no
danger of freezing. A complete pneu-
matte system ready to install will cost
about $64. Hot water supply also
can be installed with this system. The
total cost need not exceed 5000.

BY AN ACCIDENT.
HELD POST MANY YEARS
Turns Property Over to Illinois Glass
Company-6ooks Were Not Az

Under Parole.

Alton, Ill.-Albert E. Bassett, cash
Ter OF the Illinois Glass company, and
one OF the respected citizens of the
city, has confessed to shortage of
$4,000 In his accounts after the dis
covery Of his populations by R. H.
Lewis, treasurer Of the concern, which
is one OF the largest manufacturers of
bottles in the country. Bassett has
not been arrested, having promised
restitution Of the money to the COM
pany, but is virtually on parole in his
home at Alton, having agreed to noti-
makes. He is said to be on the verge
Of mental and physical breakdown
and suffering keenly.
Bassett was implicitly trusted by
officers Of the firm, and this made
1t comparatively easy for him to take
money and falsify his books. Part
of the money he is believed to have
given to church and benevolent pur-
poses, not having been a Spectator
or gambler as far as is known He
led civic reform movements, and had
standing second to none in Alton
as public-spirited citizen of upright
conduct. He is 4S years old
Bassett was cashier Of the Illinois
Glass company for 25 years, and had
charge of all its finances. He had the
power to draw checks and pay all
bills, as we'll as to make up the $50
900 payroll every two weeks. His
books have not been audited for six
years.
Shortage May Grow.
R. H. Lewis stated that the shortage
could not say how much more they
would find. They came upon the
shortage last Friday by accident, and
made the investigation Immediately.
Bassett states that he appropriated
the money on different occasions in
amounts of 5000 and $500. He has
many business connections, having re-
Gently been made president Of the
Lesser Magnetic Railway company,
backed by Paul Lesser Of Chicago.
He is said to have invested consider
able money in this corporation.
Bassett has been one of the great
est church workers in Alton, having
made the anti-Sunday saloon crusade
against the mayor and led in the Piasa
Chautauqua movement last summer.
He was one of the trustees of the
First Baptist church and was elected
deacon Of the church last January:
was a member Of the board Of health
and presiding officer of the Western
Star lodge Of Odd Fellows; president
of the Citizens Building and Loan as
sociation and noble grand of the
Knights of Pythias. He has resigned
from all these organizations.

No uncared-for tuberculosis in 1915"
and several cities in other parts of
the country have adopted similar pro-
grams. The national association
says that tuberculosis will not be
stamped out until all cases of this
disease are cared for either in their
homes or in institutions. With this
end in view, efforts will be made to
increase the number of hospital beds
in this country to at least $4,000 by
May l, 1911.
