The OnIv Difference,

Clorinda was as black AS night and
of heroic proportions. but in every pos
sibe way she copied her slender young
mistress. for whom she had great ad-
mlration. "a like to look jes' as much
like you as | cam" she often said.
"'cause you looks jes' like lady orter
look. Mis- Hend' SON.
Clorinda intrusled all her shopping
to Mrs. Henderson and scorned the
bright colors and pronounced styles af-
fected by her own friends. One day
she asked her mistress to buy her
pair of low shoes. As she made the re-
quest she glanced with admiration at
the slim little foot showing beneath
the edge Of Il dainty skirt.
"An' | want 'em jes' exactly Ike
yours. Mis- Hend dson." said Clorinda.

Many persons have headache
after any little excitement or ex-
ertion. They cannot attend
church, lectures, entertainments,
or ride on trains without suffer-
ing. Those who suffer in this
way should try DR.. Miles Anti
Pain Pills. They give almost
instant relief without leaving
any disagreeable after-effects, as
they do not derange the stomach
or bowels; just a pleasurable
sense of relief follows their use.

Clifford Pinchot Urges
LaFollette's Reelection

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 3.-That
Senator Robert M. La Toilette was the
pioneer In the progressive movement,
that he was the first public man, so
far as he knew, to lay down the lines
along which the great water power
problem, the first problem of conser-
walton today, must be settled, were
sentiments voiced by Clifford Pinchot
at the Bijou theater last night, where
he spoke In the interests Of the renom-
nation Of Senator al Toilette at the
primaries on Tuesday next.
"It has been made clear that the
special interests are about TO take
refuge behind the states rights doc
trine as against national conserva-
tion," said Mr.. Pinchot, Senator La
Toilette has made his deeds square
with his words as one of the strong
est supporters OF national action for
conservation within the national
sphere.
HE was, I understand, the first man
to suggest the protection Of the coal
lands I'm the puelic domain, and he has
been a strong supporter OF the pro-
posed Appalachian and White Noun
tain national forest from the first.
He does not propose to turn the re-
sources which belong to all the peo-
pie over to the staes, at the Dehest
Of the special interests, because he
sees, as we all do, that behind this
proposal lies the effort to escape all
regulation by the people"
