That he must help himself he and his

nENovAroR Foa OLD OAK.

Everybody nowadays knows that
to secure bright polish on an old
oak chest or table there is nothing
to equal elbow grease.
In our grsndmothers' days, how
ever, it was elbow grease plus one OF
their wonderful and efIicacious
homemade mixtures Half a pint
each OF malt vinegar and raw
linseed oil were mixed with q
couple OF drams of butter of
antimony. This formed a polish
which, after good shaking,
could be rubbed ON the old wood

than the warm beer which was the

GROWTH OF GERMAN CITIES
Remarkable Facts Disclosed by Study
Of Figures Of tho Last
Census.

Advance figures compiled from
census returns show thai there are
now in the German empire AZ cities
of more than 100000 population. OF
these seven have more than 100000
population. They are: Berlin
(without suburbs), 2,064, 1853; Ham
burg. $4,000; Munich, 593,053 /;
Leipzig, 585,T43; Dresden, 546,sS1 ;
Cologne, GIL ,042, and Breslau, 51O,-
929. Four others have more than
100000 population. They are
Frankfort-on-the-Maiu. 414,406 ;
Dusseldorf, 358,f33; Nuremberg,
332, ,539, and Charlottenburg q
suburb Of Berlin), 800, $50. Twelve
other cities have moro than 200, 900
population, and "a others have pop
ulations ranging from 100000 to
100000 each.
Ten years ago there were but two
cities in the empire with more than
half million population and only
38 with mo;e than 100000 popula-
ton. AZ the time of the first i'm
perial census III 1871 there were in
Germany only nine cities with more
than 100000. Berlin had reached
the half million population in 1860,
but Hamburg did not reach it until
1895. and no other German city be-
fore 1908. In 1871 Nuremburg had
but $4,000 population; by 1900 it

Don't Cook Three Meals a Day.

We are opposed to cooking three hot
meals day. One is enough and two
the greatest plenty. Up North they
have baking days, and not more than
two or three week. The rest of the
time they eat cold bread. 1t is much
the healthier, and all this hot bread
business is simply a matter of habit.
Mothers, begin to train your children
to be less exacting in this matter of hot
food, and you will do them a great ia
vor in point of health, and also do a
great service to your sons wives and to
humanity generally, in the next genera
ton. We Southerners eat too much
and eat it too hot, and have too much
of the frying-pan product for the good
of our health.-Southern Cultivator.

ed him, that when he (Mann) left the
high seat that he would leave it full to
the top shaken up and running over.
and yet in an era that has never known
such great prosperity, there is still little
cash in cid Virginia's Golfers and thous-
ands of starvelings, standing around
the door begging for more os the dust of
the balances. Now we hope that Gov
ernor Mann will not think we mean
those honorable gentlemen who have
never heard of a raise being likely to
come to them, but are hoping on, and
hoping against hope.
While Governor Mann is pointing to
the rich, sweet plums that are hanging
out on every side and whistling that
dear old tune: Flee as a Byrd to the
Mountain, etc, ETC., soon the air is
filled with grand array of ''big birds, ="
whose salaries range from 1000 TO
Sl4, 900 per year, while the poor" vet
Grams stipend we are told is to be put
| to a sum so small that it will hardly buy
I a few bits of tobacco.
Now, Governor, if you have got any,
thing to say, won't you please say
piece, your next piece, and tell US how
you are going to fill that treasury, and
if you think it can be done by shaving
and gouging the veterans fund? Come
out and let US hear from you before you
offer for another term, for ever so much
will depend on your next program for
the next term, you have been so disap-
pointing in your first pull at the teat.
Now, Governor, listen to reason and
let US urge you to stand by your polite
al promises of your campaign, and back
up these old veterans in their last stand
for what has been so often promised to
them, and let them leave this our South
land without cursing your memory.

wealth if every old vet outside of the

Shaving and Cheating the Old Veterans.
Richmond Weekly Pee.

Richmond Weekly Pee.
The small and picayune stipend that
has been doled out to the old veterans
Is, we learn, to be pared down to the
flag end of nothing, and if no protest is
made it will likely be cut off altogether.
We wish we knew who the author of
this grand scheme" to save money to
the State was, and if we only did know
he wonld certainly come in for that full
share of our condemnation which would
certainly be melted out to him.
Throughout the time of that ever
memorable occasion when a lost limb or
sleeveless jacket was noted on our streets
the reply to the sad sight was at once
Forthcoming: "Oh, yes, it is sad, but
he viii be well cared for all the rest of
his days." and when the war was over
the ears of the "old soldiers" that re-
turned alive and well were told oft and
again: "Oh, you just wait awhile and
we will do something real handsome for
you just as soon as this, that and the
other is looked after-then we are 90
ing to pension the old vets and their
widows" Then these patent, political
liars were in need of the great vote of
these men that counted for so much to
them, but now that the line of these old
defenders has grown thin and their
numbers are so small that they do not
count for much and the suffragettes are
about to ask for consideration, these
office-holders are turning away from
their former love and going after the
women vote" and hardly look at the
"old vet" when he offers his withered
hand to these once formidable thous
ands who could throw the vote their
way, or the other way at will.
In that day when the active politician
gave the glad hand, it was: "Oh, yes,
I'm for you and I'll serve you right"
ETC., etc.; but today if you try to ap-
proach and talk with them they will
turn their backs and walk away saying:
why don't you look after your pep
sions yourself; we have got to look after
our salaries and have them knotched ND
higher in this day of high prices for
food stuffs and clothing"

Mann in power he proclaimed to all of

ment to these localities for electing
Republicans to represent them IN
the legislature. But if this be not
true, if these institutions of learn
ing were provided for in response to
the public need, and for the purpose
of education and not the exigencies
of local politics, then the threats re-
ported as coming from some of our
party leaders of removing one of
these schools and neglecting the
other, are both foolish and discred-
table"
Too often we hear the charge,
hasty, ill-adyised and untrue, so far
as Virginia is concerned, as yet,
that the public school system of the
State is vast political machine. AS
matter of fact the observant and
well-infOrmed know that it is a vast
educational machine that is render
ing immense service to the cause of
public education. But it is just such
foolish threats as these directed at
Radford and Harrissonburg that
give color to the injurious charge
against the public school system.
mo true friend of public educa-
ton in Virginia could for a moment
contemplate Furnishing the schools
for the political sins of the localities
in which they happen to be-and
neither could any true and intelli-
gent friend of the Democratic party
indulge in such folly"
The Richmond Times-Dispatch says
Some of the political leaders
were reported in yesterdays Times
Dispatch as saying that they would
prefer to abandon the site pur-
chased in Radford, and to lose the
money already expended in that
community by the State of Virginia,
than to see normal school placed
IN city which was so ungrsteful as
to defeat q Democrat and elect a
Republican.
when have public schools been
rewards in Virginia for party fdel-
ity, and how long will the people of
Virginia tolerate such threat, if it
IS made with authority and power?"
The Roanoke Times, that usual
stands for anything and everything tbs
will help the machine" cannot stan
for the prostitution of our public scho,
system to coerce citizens into blind
following the dictates of the Democra
ic machine, and says:
THE States schools should not
be used as a political asset or weap-
on, either as club or bride. The
really important consideration is
the girls for whom the school is to
be built and conducted. They are
from eighteen to twenty-five years
old, fine young Virginia women who
ought to be equipped for vast use
fulness and to honor the State and
themselves. Each year that goes
by without the opportunity for them
which they should have is a year
lost, which they can not regain. 1t
would be agross, inexcusable wrong
to them to delay the completion of
their school to punish or reward
anybody"
1t is unfortunately true that the Den
ocratic papers of Virginia have been
supinely servile to the dictates of tn
machine" that their efforts in tn
case may be discounted, as it is likel
the machine" will do just as it wish,
in this matter without reference {
what the better element of its part
may say. There is only one way fc
the reform of Virginia politics, and tbs
is for this better element of the Demc
cratic party to unite with the Republ
cans to Redeem Virginia"
