PRESIDENT TAFl'S
SECRET OF HEALTH
Is His Ability to Take Advantage Of
Every Opportunity to Reeuperate.
Other Notes from Summer
Capital.

Beverly, Mass, Aug 20.-Tne secret
Of President Tafts splendid health is
out. II is his ability to take advantage
q every opportunity to reeuperate from
lis labors and to snatch few minutes
Of refreshing sleep between activities.
Residents along the shore boulevard
have grown accustomed to the sudden
appearance OF an automobile with a big
passenger just visible through the dust
and that passenger sound asleep. II is
the president The executive often
sleeps in his automobile going and COM
ing from the Myopia club golf links
that Is, when he makes the journey
alone. The other day when the presi.
Dental party motored n miles over to
see Miss Della Torrey, the aunt 81 the
chief magistrate, the executive slum-
bered peacefully nearly an the way
back. The automobile went nearly As
miles an hour the greater part Of the
way.
It is this faculty Of the president to
snatch a moments rest at every avail
able opportunty-the ability to throw
of the cares Of state and gain strength
in little catnaps that keeps the head
OF the nation strong and healthy de-
spite his arduous labors. II il said that
on bis trip across the continent and
back last fan the president would board
bis special train completely worn out
after a speech or reception, drop into a
chair, and in moment be fast asleep.
Twenty minutes later, when a crowd at
another station clamored for his appear
ance, he would awake, fully refreshed.
Captain Archie Butt, military aide,
has caught the habit II is a common
sight late in the evening to catch
glimpse Of the presidential automobile
under an electric light and see both
executive Taft and Capt. Butt sound
asleep. There are always two other oc
cupants, however, who are very much
awake Robinson, the chauffeur. and the
secret service operative.

Democracy Threatens
National Disaster.

Now, as always, Democracy is
riding backward in the chariot
of progress. In its Rochester
platform it declares for a down.
ward tariff revision. In tn e
Republican platform there is a
positive declaration for protec-
ton of home industries. These
are the vital points of contro-
versy. In the platform of 1892
Democrats promised a downward
revision of the tariff. When the
time and opportunity came to
square that promise with perfor-
nance, Democratic congressman
repudiated the platform and af-
ter months of tariff tinkering
produced a tariff bill that Grover
Cleveland denounced as a parti.

"Wets" in the Saddle.

| Marion, O., Nov. 16. In an
editorial in his newspaper to-
night Warren G. Harding says
preparations are already under
way to enact modified Rose
law in Ohio by the passage of
the Dean bill, the purpose Of
which is to separate cities from
the county unit. He says:
Marion, for example, would
determine the saloon question
| without the joined>verdict of the
voters of the country outside the
city limits. Such a law will be
passed at the coming session.
The Anti-Saloon League admits
the "wets" control the Senate,
and claims the House by three
or four votes. And there the
league is mistaken.
"The ''wets" control the
House. They will prove it when
the final test comes. Nothing is
more apparent than the signal
victory of the "wets." The
Democratic campaign manage
ment played the liberal game to I
the limit, and at the same time
played the susceptible "drys" to
assist in the "wet" victory.
Here in Marion we saw sew
eral extreme temperance advo-
Gates playing directly with the
bootleggers.
Editor Harding concludes by
saying the Dean bill will be
passed and that it will not be
vetoed.

Simply a Shout.

Those who shout that the high
cost of living would become 8
thing of the past if the tariff
should be revised again never &C
into details to explain how such
result could be brought about.
Perhaps their idea of revision is
to do away with the tariff alto
gether.
That secured, the cost of liv-
ing might be reduced through
the inability of those who want
to live to meet their wants. A
general reduction in wages bro't
about by a flood of foreign-made
goods, for instance, would cheap
en- the workers, and thus natur-
ally cheaper what they had to
buy. If somebody should pre-
sent a practical scheme of tariff
revision that would result in the
cheapening of what the people
had to buy without bringing a.
bout a corresponding cheapening
of those who work, no doubt it
would result in something bene-
fetal.
But when there is simply a
shout that the tariff is response
BILE for high prices, it fails to
prove anything. The problem
of high prices has not been solv-
ed, even by those who make a
study of political economy. There
are no tariff duties on what the
people need most, and thus there
is something else wrong. -Tren-

The character Of the soil has a

use in a good system Of farming. And
| because fertilizer is strikngly ef-
fective on one crop upon a certain
kind Of soil it is not proof that the
same combination will be at all bene'
flcial to that crop on another kind OF
soil and certainly not that its use un
der a different crop upon another sol

class of farmers.

tectionists. Today, if protection
were the issue, and the lines
were clearly defined, we believe
that a majority of both parties
would declare themselves pro-
tectionists. Naturally, in the
Republican party there are more
protectionists than there are in
the Democratic party.
Now, with protectionists in the
majority, it becomes a question
of how this fact can be practic-
ally proven, and how the policy |
of protection can prevail.
The great difficulty existing to-
day is that holes have been punch
ed into the policy of protection,
and through this policy of hole
punching many voters have been
led to question method rather
than policy. Illustrating this:
Under the Mckinley admins
tration the Kasson reciprocity
treaties were negotiated and sent
| to the Senate of the United States,
but President Mckinley found,
after these treaties had been
sent to the Senate, that they
would bring great injury to the
producing interests of the Uni
ted States. He quietly directed,
on the first Monday in April,
1900, that these treaties should
be pigeonholed. They were.
In 1902 the Cuban treaty came
along and was defeated in the
first Congress to which it was
submitted, namely, in 1902, but
in the Congress of 1908, in the
last week of December, it was
approved, and has since cost the
United States an average of fifty
millions of dollars a year in the
increase of the unfavorable bal
ance of trade.
I In January, 1907, a German
reciprocity treaty was negotiat-
ed and was on the point of being
sent to the Senate when objec-
| tions to the terms of the treaty
a were presented to President
Roosevelt and Secretary Root.
> The treaty as negotiated'did not
go to the United States Senate,
but within two months thereaf-
ter the German trade agreement
was entered into between the
Administration and the German
government, and, without sena-
torial consent, went into effect
July l, 1907.
We obtained our first knoWl-
edge of the original treaty and
of the German trade agreement
through our correspondents in
Berlin and London. We could
not obtain information from
Washington.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
was passed in 1909, and in that
law the German trade agreement
was killed by legislation.
Now we are confronted with
the idea announced by the Ad-
ministration that piecemeal re-
vision, or revision by schedules,
is the proper thing through a
tariff commission or through the

AN EXCEL ENT PREPARATION
FOR TREATMENT OF ARMS
Acid of Lemon Is Bleaching and Also Drying
While Rose Water Is Soothing.

Lemon juice and rose wafer Is COM
bination excellent to use on arms, neck
and throat at night, for the fruit Is
slightly bleaching, and If u little siSceriii
is added the preparation Will go more
thoroughly into the skin. A good pro-
norton for such mixture is table
spoonful of fresh juice, teaspoontui OF
rose water and half a teaspooniui OF
glycerin. After washing the SKIN WIN
warm water and soap it must b" thor
ouyhly dried and the bleach rubbed IN.
Effort should be made to force it all INTO
the pores, but that which is not taken
up. must be wiped off with soft cloth.
This prepar ration is best If made every
other day, for lemon juice spoiis' ana
when no longer fresh will not act benc-
ficially. a..
With this preparation all hollows OF the
neck should be rubbed in rotary mo-
ton. but the throat after being done in
the same way, may be finished by strok-
ing m toward the ears. This Will heip 10
prevent strfnginess.

The Shampoo.

The condition of the hair for many days
after a shampoo depends ON the fashion
in which it has been dried. Undoubtedly
the fact that girls permit their locks to
hang straight. clingng to the head, after
washing. accounts for many instances of
straight tresses. For it is wonderful what
effects may be gained by little manage
ment when drying the locks. For exam
pie, the hair may be divided across the
top, as it is in making ready for a POM
padour roll. The upper portion should be
lifted, as though a roll were to he put
beneath, and slight twist made in the
long hair, which is then pinned on top
of the head. This entirely prevents that
downward sweep of the locks that is so
unbecoming. The pinning is done while
the hair Is damp, but not wet.
To allow the tresses to dry with a de-
cided part anywhere on top, where it will
show later is a great mistake, because,
unless the hair is unusually fluffy, il will
certainly divide of its own accord later,
and only special care will prevent the
such manner as to part naturally the
tendency must be fought against from
the first. The problem of preventing parts
may be met in this way: The locks for
division are to be gathered and smoothly
brushed back. Then comb is pushed in
to hold the mass securely and prevent
the hair from spreading. Before putting
on Il nat IL Is We'll 10 draw the hair over
that division, which otherwise will have
opportunity to make itself more evident
from the pressure caused by the hat.
The girls who think it nuisance to
arrange their hair, especially for the
night, fail to realize that 1t lies for hours
on the pillow and is more than likely to
grow according to the way 1t falls. The
effect of sleeping on the hair is shown by
the fact that girls whose hair is natu-
rally wavy find the side OF the head on
x,vL,S al, oil 1occ
other. On the same principle IL artificial
waivers are used through the night, that
side on which one sleeps will have the
most wave because the pressure is
greater there.
The habit of not taking down the Golf
fure at night can have but one effect; it
will make the hair lose its likntness, for
the locks lie together settled and SO will
be neither thick nor soft. To take down
the coiffure and arrange the hair, even
In the same style, improves the appear
ance Of the head for all time:

Peel of cucumber is simple appica-
ton which is whitening, and as the vege-
table is always in market now, and mex
pensive. it is easily available. Before
applying the flesh must be washed and
dried, as for the first application. To
make, the cucumber is peeled in long
strips, the outside being shaved thin, be-
cause the arsenic contained lis near to the
outside green. The juicy white side is
then rubbed over neck arms and throat,
the contact being direct.
Cucumber juice requires all OF the
