But such things never fatten. They take
in nothing really nourishing. This rocking
chair creature is artificially fleshened like the
beer-bloated fat man.
Gossip shrivels instead of develops 1t dries
up the heart as pessimism does the brain, or
drought does the corn field. Size is not made
with exercise and food.
Paul was short of stature, suffered and
was likely sickly. Napoleon and Grant did not
tower.
Darwin could only work ten minutes at

Bg-headed folk are sometimes brutal be-
cause they lack heart size. Humans must love
if they grow, as flowers must have sunshine
Gossips poison love. 1t makes its servant
ugly with hate.
1t burns out all the vitals of red manhood
and womanhood. aud makes room for evil

The idle gossiper, the slayer of character

y Terrible arrangement, Dut Is IL not TRUE,
at least to measurable eXtent9
Equally true is the declaration of Madame
de Mantenon that, Evil report, like the Ital-
ian stiletto is assassin's weapon worthy
only of the bravo"
Really the evil gossip is as much worse than
the assassin as the Staying Of character is worse
than the murder of the body.
In the olden days society took copnizance
Of this class of pest, and the ducling stool
found worthy employment. Is it certain that
civilization made real progress when this crime
OF wicked gossip was stricken from the code

Only other carrion hunters flock with them
The pecking nose which enjoys stencil, and
the bent claws, which seize the decaying thing
to carry home, even appear on human bodies.
The clasped hand of delight at salacous gossip
is very marked.
Let us study the cartoon together.
1t is worth while.
1t may drive some to moral surgeon for
cure at any cost. 1t is not fictional.
1t is true to nowadays life. Measure your
self with it.
The hats are askew The figures are un-
kempt The poise is ungraceful. They are too
busy with the affairs of others to keep them
selves tidy,
Their houses smell like they talk. The win
dows are dirty. The cooking utensils are
burned from neglecting them while overhear-
ing neighbor' IS conversation to twist and ped
die it. They cook sodden dishes, over greasy
and indigestble. Their pictures are gaudy and
the furniture arranged with barny cluttered-
up effect. Their vocation spoils all dellcacy of
taste They know no more about human art
than a heartless butcher does concerning the
sensitiveness Of high-class surgeon They are
satiated with disgusting tales and so become
accustomed TO evil surroundings.
They do not sit squarely on the chair
(even the rocker is not enjoyed). They never
feel security They might miss a juicy morsel
of gossip. They might be tricked by a socalled
friend They peer out Of the window to per-
vert a friendly neighborhood checr-chat into
vile meanings.
They misinterpret gladly at first, and then
because they cannot help it,
Their whole being is as uncomfortable as an
escaped jail-bird cognizant Of being trailed by

Tale-bearers are as bad as tale-makers
Even children recognize this, and with the
young there is hardly more contemptuous
epithet than "tell-tale'
Listen to j. G. Hollands Characterization
of gossip and realize the truth. Gossip" he
says, lis always a personal confession either If
malice or imbecility, and the young should not
only shun it, but by the most thorough culture
relieve themselves from all temptation to in
dulge in it. 1t is low, frivolous and, too
often, dirty business.
There are country neighborhoods in which
it RACES like pest
The same thing might be said with equal
truth of city neighborhoods.
''Churches are split in pieces by it, " con-
tinues the writer. ''Neighbors are made enc
mics by it for life, In many persons it degen-
crates into a chronic disease, which is practi-
cally incurabe. Let the young cure it while
they may"
The habit of gossip is no different from any
other habit. 1t grows with indulgence, be-
comes settled, until the person upon whom it is
fixed is nuisance and menace to all with
whom he comes IN contact.
The ancents had saying "Speak nothing
but good of the dead
1t is much more important to speak moth
ing but good of the living-behnd their backs.
The gossip is coward Respect is due one
who comes out in the open with criticism or de-
nunclation, even though it be unwarranted.
But for the backbiter, the teller OF tales IN out
of-theway corners, rght-mipded people can
feel only contempt and adherence.
Avoid gossip and the gossiper as the sleep
ing sickness of Africa or the Oriental plague
1t cats in more deadly way than cancer
1t aids hell and robs heaven. 1t breaks
homes. crushes hearts, skaters churches, hin
ders God and helps Satan.

CLEANING LACES

White waists badly stained
with perspiration can be cleaned
by putting them in strong solu-
ton of CASTLE or any pure soap
then placing in the direct sun
light until the yellow is with
drawn. To make the solution,
shave one bar of soap and dis
solve this in one to three quarts
of hot water. The dirt is re-
moved from the lace not by rub
bing, but by. swashing up and
down in new soap solution, and
it is then thoroughly rinsed in
two or three clear, warm waters.
The lace is next stiffened in weak
gum arabic water-one or two
kernels to one pint of water. The
gum arabic is added to warm
water and placed over hot water
until dissolved. 1t is well never
to wiring lace, but rather to
squeeze the water from it. To
dry the lace 1t IS pinned ON
wooden blanket or pad which has
been securely fastened to a table.
Each point is firmly pinned and
the lace is left until perfectly
dry. Much may be done toward
giving the effect of new lace, if
each point is not only carefully
pinned out, but when dry, picked
out with the fingers.
Silk laces are cleaned by brush
ing or rolling in corn meal. or
magnesia. The dirt adheres to
the flour, or powder, leaving the
lace clean. When treated in this
way, laces need more frequent
cleaning, but appear more like
new lace. Yellowed, white silk
lace may be stepped in a
hot bath of milk and borax and
bleached in the sun.

President Taft is facing very
trying and difficult ordeal but those
who have watched his official career
have no fear of his final triumph.
He has an extra session of Congress
on his hands, one branch of which
is controlled by one party and the
other branch by another party,
with what might be termed the
dissatisfied element holding the
balance of power in both branches.
President Taft never talks much.
He sets about to do a thing and
does it in his own peculiar manner
but he does it. This was demon
strated in the first session of his
Congress and again only lately in
the Mexican border mobilization
incident. The public does not know
just what plans he has made to
control the situation he is facing
but the people have confidence that
he will control it, and after all that
is all that is necessary.

The affairs of the state land
board are getting in a very compli-
Gated condition. This is because
there is no commission as provided
under the constitution to care for
the land affairs. The senate has
not confirmed the appointments
made by the governor and no official
business can be transacted The
employees have not been paid
for over two months. Monday
delegation of employees waited on
Governor Shafroth and demanded
their pay but of course he was help
less. He told them he would do
the best he could but this conveyed
nothing, as the only thing he could
do was to wait until the senate
confirmed some of his appointees.
The board is doing nothing in the
way of adjusting new business and
is only collecting the rentals due off
the old business. 1t is very doubt
full if single act performed now
will be legal-Chieftain.

NEWSPAPER BIG FACTo2
IN COUNTRY UPLIFT

"Al that is developed at the
University of Wisconsin for the
benefit of farmers and the up
building Of agriculture and the
making of farm life more pleas
ant and profitable, is the very
best kind of home news for the
local papers of this state" de-
olared B. B. Herbert, Chicago,
the veteran editor, before the
First Wisconsin Country Life
conference which was held at
the University of Wisconsin at
Madison last week. His address
was on "The Weekly Newspaper
as a Factor in Rural Improve
ment.
"As the first service for ru-
raj improvement, therefore, the
newspaper should watch the ag
ricultural college, use every pos
sible means for its betterment
and the bringing to the notice of
workers there of the local con-
ditious as to soil or products, as
to agencies, insects or diseases
that threaten plant or animal
life in the districts covered by
the papers, in order that investi-
CATION may be made, improved
methods suggested, and remedies
discovered and applied. Then
the papers should carry every
day and every week to the
farm homes all that has been de-
veloped here whenever it can be
made of local interest or value.
Localized information, new
knowledge from tests, expert
ments or discoveries, that can be
made valuable to newspaper read
ers, is the very best kind of To-
cal news.
1.-The sincere, earnest scholar
in politics is becoming important,
but vastly more important is the
scholar in agriculture and he
is becoming vastly more import
ant to the newspaper.
What more important news
could have been found than that
of the discovery by one of the
faithful workers of this school a
few years ago of the method of
mechanically separating milk?
The discoveries in plant breeding
and plant pathology; in making
plants even on barren lands bring
forth fruit by acclimatizing; in
animal nutrition, and in all the
ways of making the farms the
homes of the most intelligent,
highly educated, prosperous, hap
py people who represent the high
est ideals of American citizen
ship-all afford a vast and in
creasing amount of home news,
as useful as it is entertaining"

1t is time that seed oats were selected
and made ready for planting. They should
be run through good tanning mill and all
small and light kernels and every weed seed
famed out. This being done you are ready
to treat for smut. All of our readers know
loose smut, whether of wheat or oats. All
may not know that it is introduced in the
seed; that loose smut of the year before is
blown from adjoining fields or carried by
threshing machines; that the spores find
lodging place between the heel and the ker
mel; that when the oats germinate, the smut
pores also germinate and will grow with
the stalk, but on the inside of it: and that
when one stalk of stool is infected all the
other stalks are infected The only way
to prevent smut is by treating the seed
with something that will kill the spore
of the smut and not kill the oats
The best material to use is formalin which
is 40 per cent. formaldehyde. Be sure

about one inch deep and sprinkle with
solution of one pound of forty per cent for
malin to forty gallons of water. Put on an
inch or two more of oats again and so on
Every kernel should be wet A bushel
of oats will take up about one gallon OF 80

with horse blankets or gunny sacks. Let
them stand few hours then take off the
covering and shovel the oats a number of
times, so as to allow them to dry. The i'm
portant point is to have the solution touch

TRUE NOTE IN DECORATION
tices in Room Must Be First
ConsIde ration.

The true method of making room
beautiful is to make all the necessary
and useful things in 1t beautiful; so
much is this true that it becomes al
most impossible to design a really
beautiful room that is to have no use
full work done in 1t or natural life
lived In 1t. An architect called upon
to design a room in which nothing
more earnest Is to be done than to
gossip over afternoon teas has a sad
job
For a room must always derive It's
dignity or meanness from, and reflect
somewhat. the character and kind of
occupation which is carried on in 1t.
For instance, the studio of an artist.
the study of man of letters, the
workshop Of a carpenter, or the
kitchen of a farmhouse. each in its po-
sition and degree, derives a dignity
and interest from the work done In
it. And the things in the room bear
some relation to that work. and will
be the furniture and surroundings nat
ural to 1t; as the bench and tools In
the carpenters shop; the easels and
S1HN docS IL lue oluoiO, IuS OOOho anu
papers in the study; and the bright
pans and crockery In the kitchen. All
these lend a sense Of active, useful.
human life to the room. which re-
deems 1t from vulgarity, though 1t be
the simplest possible; and no amount
of decoration or ornamentation can
give dignity or LONELINESS to room
which is used as a show room. or In
which no regular useful life Is lived.
For in the work room all things have
a place by reason of their usefulness,
which gives a sense of fitness and re-
pose entirely wanting in a room where
a place has obviously had to be found
for everything, as in a drawing room.

MUST FIT PROPERLY
MOST IMPORTANT POINT IN MAT
TER OF GLOVES.
Worn Too Tight, They VIII Spoil the
Look Of Even the Most Dainty
Hand-FIrst Putting on
Important.

Nothing makes hand more unnat-
tractive than glove that Is too tight.
Yet how often one sees women with
their hands almost bursting from their
gloves, so tightly are they squeezed
into them.
A too tight glove will make even a
slender, graceful hand look common
place and pudgy and a hand inclined to
flesh almost repulsive. So In choosing
gloves one should be very careful to
get them large enough, and to have
the patience to have them properly
fitted in the first place by a good glove
fitter.
II they are not fitted properly at
first the tips of the fingers never work
down and the hand is made ridiculous
and dowdy by the pointed tips. II the
fitting is properly done the gloves will
not twist and wrinkle, and will actual
ly wear longer than II hurried care
lessly over the fingers for the first
time.
II one has to put on gloves without
the assistance of litter the hands
should be warm and the gloves well
powdered, then the fingers should be
insinuated into their receptacles, and
finally the thumb and the hand should
be fitted, but not until the fingers have
been carefully worked in. To remove
the glove pull 1t over the hand and
do not drag 1t by the finger tips, for
this spoils the shape completely. After
removing the gloves and turning them
right side again they should have the
stretchers used to restore the shape
and should be sprinkled again with
powdered French chalk.
Fresh gloves are necessary ad
junct to the toilet Of the woman seek
ing daintiness, but when they are
cleaned they should be cleaned sew
