papers and persons would take ad-
vantage Of the information thus dis
closed and proceed to denounce the
candidate on the strength of the char
acter of the contributions made to his
campaign" In other words, if the
voters were permitted to know who
was putting up the money for the
candidates campaign they might de-
feat him. Could stronger argument
be presented for publicity BEFORE
election as well as after election?
Think it over.
Instead of saving any portion of the
$500, 100000 which Senator Aldrich
asserts is being wasted by the govern
ment annually through Obsolete
business Methods" the Taft admins
tration threatens to break all records
in the history of the government in
the enormous expenditure of money.
1t looks now as if the appropriations
for this session of Congress would
exceed the appropriations of the last
regular session to the extent of about
100000. This will be billion
dollar session and then some.
Congressman Charles F. Barclay,
of Pennsylvania, a Cannon Republic
can, has allowed it to become known
that the state of his health will not
permit him to continue as candidate
for reelection. This is the ninth
"standpatter" whose ill health, due
largely to voting for the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff revision upward, has neces-
STATED withdrawal from the approach
ing congressional elections.
During the first ten days of May
the government spent $685. 81. 46
more than it took in. Newspapers
that have been stating the new tariff
law is success from the standpoint
of producing sufficient revenue to
run the government, please copy.)
The Postal Bank bill, promised in
the National Republican platform as
a substitute for the guarantee of bank
deposits, is lowering between life and
death in the House Committee on
Postoffices and Postroads.
Immediate statehood for Arizona
and New Mexico" another Rapubli-
can promise, lies neglected and alone
in the Senate Committee on Terri
tories. And Congress is about ready
to close up shop!

swespina Good Exercise.

Sweeping exercises every muscle OF
the body. 1t is sufficiently vigorous
to give good exercise, and at the same
time it Is not SO strenuous as to over
tire. A woman who sweeps does IL
regularly at certain hours Of the day
and regularity In exercise makes fol-
good.
Then, again, the exercise Is exercise
with definite object In view. The
mind Is interested ut the same time as
the body is employed.
Sweeping movements are particular
ly good for the lungs. The chest mus
Giles are exercised all the time, and
this helps to establish deep breathing.
This naturally tends to produce a good
figure as well as pure state OF the
blood and therefore good complexion
The old fashioned broom should be
used and not the patent carpet sweep
er. Tea leaves or damp bran should
be used beforehand to prevent the dust
from rising and getting into the lungs

The American woman Is said to rival
the Chinese In the abuse of her feet.

vantage over the occidental--she wad-
dies frankly, while the American girl
cultiyates grace and eloquence Of car
rage In the narrowest Of shoes, the
highest of heels or the most ,treach-

Corns on the soles Of the feet are
often developed by wearing shoes
which are too narrow. They can be
removed with lotion composed Of col
lodion and salicylic acid.
Callosities made by the pump which
slips can be rubbed off with pumice
stone, after which cold cream must be
applied.
To feet which swell easily some COM
fort Is restored by bath containing
salt and borax.
For troublesome perspiration use or

FIurried Housewives.

The Hurried, fussy woman very sell
dom makes a good housekeeper,
Her intentions may be excellent, and
she may plan all sorts Of delightful
meals, etc, but her lack of repose
fiurries other people, and disappoint-
ments are the usual result.
The woman who wants to succeed
In her household duties should go
about them quietly and make up her
mind that she won't allow herself to
be upset and fustered even If things
do go wrong occasionally.
When you feel that there is really
more to do than there Is time for, try
getting up little earlier In the morn
ing and make up for arrears.
This extra time saving helps to keep
the family peace and wards off the

Lucky Ne stuck to His Opinion.


Pride Of opinion Is perhaps the most
common fault of us fairly educated
and intelligent moderns. We form our
judgments and then, as 1t were, defy
any one to change them. 1t is said
that no one has ever been converted
by abstract argument.
At the time Of the great disaster In
Martinique the Italian bark Orsolina
was taking on cargo of sugar there.
Her captain was accustomed to volca-
noes, and he did not like the appear
ance OF Mont Pelee. Not half his
cargo was on board. but he decided to
Gail for home.
'The volcano is all right" argued
the shippers. "Flnish your loading"
Il don't know anything about Mont
Pelee," said the captain, but II vesu-
viEs looked that way I'd get out Of
Naples. and I'm going to get right out
of here"
The shippers threatened him with
arrest They sent customs officers to
detain him. but the captain persisted
In leaving. Twenty-four hours later
the shippers and the customs officers
lay dead in the ruins OF st. Pierre

Rest Cure For the Hair.

Rest cure for the hair is being prac'
ticed by American society women. II
requires that they give up their social
engagements for week, but 1t re-
wards them with lustrous healthy
hair, In addition to giving them O
chance to relax from the strenuous
rush of social calls. Autumn is the
best time for the rest cure, as the hair
thins out and often gives women much
alarm. During the cure vanity COM
pels the women to remain In hiding
except to their most intimate friends
Hats and hair structures are discard
ed. The hair Is permitted to hang
loose. There are no curls. No hat
is worn. and the sun is permitted to
shine on the hair, giving 1t rich lus'
ter. II Is brushed frequently. and the
hair is secured In coils rather than In
curls, but as few pins as possible are
used to hold the coils together.

For food the couple believed in one
day. one meal. The batch Of dump
lings baked on Saturday lasted out
the week For clothing he depended
on hay bands ''swathed round his feet
for boots and round his body for a
coat" But Daniel had weakness.
He would buy clean shirt each year.
And out of this arose the tragedy Of
his life-a lost lawsuit over three
pence which, In Daniels judgment, the
shirt seller had wrongfully pocketed.
He died In 1904 worth $4,000 a year.

Here are few rules that the girl
who II determined to Giet does well TO
observe There III Too much trifiing
with our disestions these days, and not
the least harm is done by the notion
for undertaking.
Never diet on the advice Of friend.
Her regime may have done wonders
for her and will put you to bed or
make you sorry looking wreck.
Don't diet to excess at any time.
Girls, make sure your doctors know
dietetics. Many physicians, good in
other things, have little knowledge of
the effect of food upon the system.
If you must diet from a cause, as
from diabetes or kidney trouble, do
1t relgiously. Almost better not begin
than to do 1t systematically, letting up
whenever food tempts you.
If you diet only for the sake Of fg-
ure or complexion count the cost be-
fore starting. Cutting out the foods OF
ordinary family meals Is hard. Ask
yourself, (which means most to me
the loss of a few pounds or being a
nuisance at mealtime"
Don't keep ON dieting :f you feel that
1t disagrees with you. This holds good
even when your food list is carefully
censored by physician. The best OF
them will make mistakes. Find out In
time what Is wrong.
Don't diet to excess at any time.
Women often go to the point Of weak
ening their entire systems by injudi-
ciously following doctors advice.
Common sense and moderation are
good things to hold to In the matter Of
food.
