SPEAKER CANNON

Will Not Vote for Him.

THINKS TAFT INSPIRED II

Danvilic. Aug. iS--Desptc the declor-
alton Of Congressman 1orSworth that
he will not again vote for Joseph G. Can
non for speaker of the House of Repre-
scrtativcs Mr. cannon will continue in tho
race, according to n statement made to
the Associated Press tonight.
That Mr.. Cannon was colsiderahl: net
tied by the despatch from Beverly was
apparent when copy of It was handed
him. Mr.. Cannon is usually ready to
grant or refuse m interview without n
moments hesitation, but to-day he read
and reread the Longworth statements be-
fore he got one which finally suited him.
Mr. Cannon evidently believes that
the Longworth etatoment was inspired
by President TAFT. He did not say SO.
but he intimated as much when he said:
at Is time enough to answer the Prcsl-
dent of the United states, If he has any
statement to make touching tho rcpub
cqnism of the speaker OF the House OF
Representatives, when he makes that
settlement under his own hand, will
rpt fight wndmills filled by brcezes
.'iown from the lungs of political or
personal enemies or towards"
STANDS ON HIS RECORD.
Following brief reply made to Long
worth early in the afternoon. Mr.. Cannon
fortnight dictated the following:
"rhe legislation enacted and the record
made by the Republican party during the
eight years | have been speaker, speaks
for itself. | have contributed what
could toward the enactment OF that leg
islation. | have co-operated with the re-
publican majority in its effort - put
on the statute books the policies of tbs
party ana N1vo no apology to make 20!
the par taken in the Legislative
councils alton.
IN tle II case, so far as I arr
concer.ct. Haii do what / can to brine
about the C.cCtion of a republican House
of Representatives in the 62nd Congress
and without republican majority in the
next House, there will be TO republican
speaker.
IN the event of my reelection as q
member of the republican caucus and
from his statement, Mr.. Longworth viii
do the same, as will every republican
member Of the House. Therefore, I have
no quarrel with Representative Long
worth as to who shall be speaker of the
next House of Representatives. and there
is no room for disagreement touchina
this matter between Representative
Longw orth and myself.
CAMPAIGN PLEDGES NOTHING
IF any republican candidate for Con
gross feels that his position as a candi-
date on the republican ticket would b.
strengthened by pledg!ng that he will not
support me in republican caucus, l have
no objection to his making the pledge
THE only test | would make as to the
republicanism of candidates for Congress
IS: VIII he, if elected attend the republi-
can caucus and abide by the same in the
organization OF the House and in the
enactment Of legislation in pursuance of
republican policies

A baker says that a cupful of liquid

If one needs a door stop and there
Is not one at hand, a large spool,
nailed in position, will answer every
purpose.
Oyster cocktails are sometimes
served in small grapefruit shells or in
paper shells. The effect is decidedly
pleasing.
To remove odor of fish or onions
from the frying pan, put in vinegar
and heat until scalding, and then
wash out.
For Dreaming butter or butter and
sugar, a perforated spoon will be
found more convenient than a fork OF
the hand.
A spoonful of whipped cream is a
tasty addition to any cream soup,
Add it to the top of the cup just be-
fore serving.
Ink stains on handkerchiefs and
other cloths may often be soaked out
in milk, but the sooner they are dealt
with the better.
Use butter rather than milk if 20.
tatoes need extra thinning. The for
mer makes them soggy, and nothing
is worse than milky mashed potatoes
To remove iron rust from white
material wet the goods with lemon
juice, rub on salt, and put out in the
sun. If the first application fails, try
it again.
If salt fish is required for imme-
date use, it will freshen much more

In baking biscuits have the owe

CHANGE THE VIBRATION
1t Makes For Health.

A man tried leaving off meat, po-
tatoes, coffee, and ETC., and adopted a
breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and a cup of
Postum.
His health began to improve at
once for the reason that a meat eater
will reach a place once in a while
where his system seems to become
clogged and the machinery doesn't
work smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside
food of low nutritive value and takes
I'D food and drink Of the highest
value, already quickly digested and
capable of being quickly changed into
good, rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature of Grape
Nuts is the natural phosphate Of pot
ash grown in the grains from which
it is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen in the body into
soft gray substance which fills brain
and nerve centres.
A few days use OF Grape-Nuts will
give one a degree of V strength
we'll worth the trial.

Natural Gas.

Natural gas is a member of the
parafin series formed by the decom-
position of animal matter, as in Ohio
and Indiana gas, and from vegetable
matter, as in Pennsylvania gas, this
decay having occurred within the
rocks, and probably at moderate tenn
peratures. When once formed it ac-
cumulates in the pores of the rocks
in which it originated, or in the over
laying layers, but is usually kept
from escaping to the surface by the
presence of some layers of impervi-
Gus rock. 1t is then obtained by the
piercing Of these strata by wells. or
where the beds have been assured by
folding or faulting, it may issue from
natural channels.

Hammurabi and Moses.

There is no foundation for the
claim, advanced in certain quarters,
that Moses copied his laws from the
code of Hammurabi of Babylon. The
best scholars are positively of the
opinion that there Is no ground what
ever for supposing that the Hammu-
rabbi code was known to or came with
in the purview of Moses. The very
contrast between the Babylonian code
and the Mosaic laws would seem to
give pointblank evidence of the fact
that Moses had no access to the Baby
lonian laws as epitomized in this code.
The laws of Moses are full of sanitary
provisions, provisions for the Sab
bath, provisions against unnatural
crimes, provisions regulating a priest
hood, none of which subjects is dealt
with in the Hammurabi code.

mated this feature by inventing q
mechanism which turns alternate
seats automatically, and not only
saves space, but saves the conductor

mechanism running under the seats
and connecting with the backs. There
are two levers, each operating alter

are turned the others remain station

a California man, designed the sklrt
gauge shown in the illustration.
This consists in a base plate, with
guide ways and an upright backing
plate. A guage plate, corresponding
with the backing plate, is movably
mounted on the base and is held in
position by a spring. The gauge plate
has a series of slots running up to it
to permit of the garment being
marked. The skirt is placed between
the two upright plates and the device
is moved around it's whole circumfer-
ence. The amount to be taken off the
garment is measured on the gauge
plate, and by ean of a piece Of
chalk this length can be marked off
as the device circles the cloth. AS
will be readily noted, the line thus
drawn is necessarily accurate and

San Francisco Receivers.

Financially and commercially the
city is now very close to the normal
basis, and it is evident that popula-
ton and business are having a regu-
lar normal increase. Doubtless our
population is less than it would have
been at this time had, we met with no
disaster, but it is certainly larger
than ever before, and if we take in
the whole metropolitan area which
would be included in a Greater San
Francisco" it is improbable that
growth has been checked in the least.

Peonies For Medicine.

Peonies were originally esteemed
less for beauty of bloom than for
value as a medicine. In recognition
of its curative virtues the peony was
named after Paeon, the physician Of
the gods. An old writer says: About
an infants neck hang peonie. 1t
cures Alcydes' cruell maladie." Nor
did the use of the plant stop there,
for peony water was esteemed and
drunk in bygone times, though wheth-
err as medicine or merely as a refresh
ing temperance beverage is more than
modern writer's can say.

A Star That WinkS.

There is in the constellation Pc
gasus a little variable star that may
reasonably be said to wink. Two or
three times in the course Of a single
night this curious star can be seen
to fade and then to brighten like a
signal light. For about two and
three-quarters hours it becomes faint
er and fainter; then cones a change,
and at the end of two and three-quar-
ter hours more it as bright as at the
beginning. Unfortunately, it can be
seen only with a telescope. Yet it
ranks as a sun.-Harper's Weekly.
