White ostrich muffs can be

the tips do not acquire the yellow

of cleaning ostrich feathers at

The starch does not stiffen the

form of cake or paste, which,
when hard, will shake off in the

A thick ostrich feather bow will

Democratic Platforms Are
Regulated by ReaC,iOuaries

In all the checkered history Of
Kentucky there was never a
more peculiar performance than
that of the Kentucky State Exc
cutive Committee at its meeting
in Louisville Thursday.
At one moment it voted for a
primary for the selection Of a
State ticket, on the ground that
this was the best and fairest
means of getting the wishes of
the people.
The very next moment. it
voted down a proposal to secure
the choice of the people for
United States Senator in SINH
lar manner.
BY voting down the latter
proposition. the democratic party
of Kentucky splits upon the plat
forms of the party, turns its
back upon the solemn promises,
I pledges and protestations Of the
organization in three different
national conventions, and stamps
itself as thoroughly reactionary.
If there is one thing more than
another 10 which the Democracy
stands pledged by its platforms
and the speeches Of its leaders
/ it is the popular election Of Sen
ators. Carrying out this princi-
| pie, II would be the logical thing
for the party to determine its
senatorial nominee by party vote
II is significant and educational
to observe that the only ones
who favored the senatorial priln-
airy were the friends of Con-
gresham Ollie James, while the
ones who opposed it were the
friends Ex-senator T. IA. Paynter,
former Governor j. c. w. Beck
nam. Harry Weissinger and J.
c. Mayo.
Ollie James had the courage 10
come out in the open and demand
that the party stand by its plat
forms. None Of his opponents
had the courage to come out and
advocate the reverse policy.
The inner meaning Of the com,
mittee's action was elucidatec
by the remark in q roactionary
Democratic paper that if there
had been a popular primary M
one but James would have had ,
chance.
While we are on the subject
let us look at the men who are
out in the open for Senator.

Two Recipes

Recipe for unhappiness: Think only of yourself, care only for yourself. work only for yourself. Mix and use daily.
 II you doubt the formula look about won
 One of the popular plays is a fine illus tration. A rich man has lived self cen tered life. He grows morbid and begins to fancy he is in i'll health. Learned physi- clans confirm his fears. The old man frightened at every symptom of approach ing disease, resolves to kill himself.
 He rents a room in a cheap tenement and prepares to blow out his brains.
 As he raises the pistol to his temple a ragged, forlorn young girl happens to come into his room and engages him in conversation. She tells him her troubles real troubles, calculated to harass the mind and harrow the heart The girl does not complain. She is bravely facing her future. She says she is fighting to save her womanhood what ever else she may lose. And in the depths of great misery she is hopeful of success. The revelation makes the old man ashamed of his troubles, most of which arc imaginary.
 He becomes interested in the girls struggle. He uses some of his money to help her help herself. In the end the old man is restored to health and the girl scores success.
 Ii is the old story. The man who was freezing began 70 try to save the life of his comrade. In saving the other man he saved himself. Therefore the recipe for happiness: Think of others, care for others labor for | others.
 | Happily for our fellows, we are so made | that to be happy we must make others ] happy.
 Trite. commonplace? 1 Yes, but eternally true. | Sefshness earns it's own punishment | Pushed to the extreme, it becomes SC much a burden that men will kill ,hem. selves to rid them of the load. | Generosity is its own reward.
 Both recipes may be relied upon. | Do something for somebody and be hap- | py. Do everything for your own sake | and be miserable.

dius, including parts of the three counties of Bucks Berks and Oxon, farmers and agricultural employees in all departments flocked into the town early in the morn- ing. {
 Harvesting having been finished the att tendance was much larger than usual. and there was a general disposition to change hands," though the average terms of remuneration showed very little alteration.
 Several old time customs still prevail. both at the hiring and in regard to the conditions upon which farm hands arc. engaged for that F months. For instance. plowmen decorate their buttonholes with strings of whipcord to denote their dis tinctive calling: shepherds display tufts of wool in their caps and their forelocks, and other farm hands utilize horse hair and fancy ribbons and rosettes for their personal adornment.
 A good deal of time was occupied in making the best terms,' and in accord ance with precedent of many years stand ing the engagements were conditional on the supplying of "beer," or harvesting allowance as 1t is caled.s The old fash iored custom of hiring servants in this way enlisted a good deal of public inter- est. The pleasure fair, relegated from the streets to a spacious enclosure in the towns, attracted thousands, and it will be continued as usual for three days.

RISKED HIS LIFE FOR A CHILD
A Runaway Team Was Stopped By q
 MOtOrist
From the New York Sun.

I ipth tlit NcN lOIh Sun.
 Caldwell, N. IA race between a mo- tor car and three badly frightened horses attached to large farm truck took place on the westerly side of Caldwell moun- tain. The motor car won, and the driver. Emil Bamberger, succeeded in stopping the runaway animals without much dam age having been done.
 George kerris, the driver of the truck, winch belonged to the Greenbrook farm Of North Caldwell, left the horses stand ing unhitched on Bloomfield avenue the main business thoroughfare of Caldwell. Clarence Good, years old, climbed into tlic wagon and had just reached the seat when the horses became frightened at a WlndbloWn newspaper and started an d run down the avenue. A quarter of a mile from where the runaway began is the western brow of the mountain, below which the grade is very steep, with sev- erai short turns. Just before the brow was reached the maddened horses passed Bamberger who was cranking his car at the side of the road.
 Leaping to the seat the motorist started n pursuit. He quickly overlook the wagon. which was swa ying dangerously from side to side. but no opportunitv pre- sented to pass until at the foot of the mountain slopef When he got ahead Bamberger ran his car a short distance over the flat at the bottom of the hill and then brought it to a stop directly across the road Leaping out and waving his arms and shouting he succeeded in stop ling the runaways.
 Bamberger said afterward that he was induced to make the wild dash down the mountain side by the sight of the face oi the lad in the wagon as the noises dashed past him.

 Continuing, he said:
 They get married young, bring up big families and work about their farms What do they know about how easy it is Tor young fellow nowadays to get mixed up with a girl like Beulah Binford?'
 Here are two types:
 One, the Beatty type of much money and little morals; the other, the "buncn of countrymen,' honest. hardworking. God fearing men who sat in that jury box.

The Value of Fruit as Food


 In these days of impure drinking water. water famines and filtered water, it IS well to know that one of the great ad- vantages of fruit is that it offers us pure water, for which we do not need ilte:, to the amount of nearly 50 per cent in berries and 92 percent in watermelons.
 Oranges and lemons are not only valu- able by reason of their potash salts, but especially for their citrc acid. A case of paralysis of the entire right side is re- ported, where the juice of oranges, adopt eI as a regular diet. with chicken broth, appeared to do much good.
 As an aid to digestion-a really mate rial aid-the pineapple stands alone among the fruit. It's vegetable pepsin neutral izes--or. perhaps, rather digests-albumi- nous substances in the stomach. Fresh pineapple-or, better still, the fresh juice of one-placed in direct contact with eggs or gelatine or milk, will prove the fact exclusively by producing better sast- ing dish. In cases of catarrhal ailments Of the throat and in it's downward connec- tion of alimentary canal or tract pineap- pic cannot be overestimated. and it acts with equal force in malaria affections.
