ton of law. His oath of office never seems to
hare occurred to him at all. He speaks of his
violation of it as a highly meritorious act.
Never for an instant does he appear to realize
that he was instrumental in making it certain
that the Steel Trust would rob the consumer
Of untold millions Of dollars.
That is precisely what his consent to the
aWeg0t merger Of these competing corporations
made inevitable.
That merger did not stop the panic. It did
not put single additional dollar into circu-
latlon. The panic was stopped because the
men who caused it became alarmed, lest all
banks aO0u1d suspend. The country was
Hooded with soap wrapper currency, and this
was answering the purposes to such an extent
that the Wall Streeters got frightened They
were afraid that soap-Wrapper money might
supplant national bank notes and ordinary
bank credits. They were afraid that clearing
house certificates would become too popular
and too plentiful. Hence the call-off of the
panic
But here is the point:
One citizen showed Roosevelt the zaao,
which authorized him to supply the country
with lawful money that was needed to stop
the panic; and also cited the precedents in
Great Britain, where panics had been instant
ly checked by the issuance of government
money. Another citizen-according to ROOse-
welt himself-showed the President how he
could stop the panic by r501nting the loa0, and
enabling a voracious combination Of capital
to absorb its only dangerous competitor.
And the ex-Presdent willingly, cynically,
braggingly states that he alone is responsible
for an act that tramped upon the law of
the land and which has resulted in gigantic
robbery of the people.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-08-10

our former President, who increased so enor-
mously the expenditures of our Federal Gov
eminent, has no real sympathy for oppressed
humanity?
In 1907, panic was precipitated upon the
country by the Wall Street banks. They had
inflated bank credit until there was only one
dollar of real money, to redeem ten dollars of
bank obligations That kind of finance is
based on CONFIDENCE. AS long as the
holder of the ten dollars of ba1ok scrip is
satisfied with the scrip, the system fourishes.
Ihe banker pockets compound interest On ten
times more money than there IS i'a e~istenoe.
But at the very moment when confidence
gives away to doubt, the vast pyramid, poised
atpon its ape@, topples over. When the man
who holds the ten dollars of bank scrip de-
mands real money, crash comes. One dollar
cannot redeem ten dollars; and the run on
the bank-which is nothing more than de-
mand that the bank pay what it honestly
owes-has the invariable effect of closing it's
doors.
(My son, remember this! Bankers do
business on your money, not theirs. The
moment you want your own money out of
the banks, they 'bust.'O
Now, in 1907 it would have been the easiest
matter in the world for the Federal Govern
ment to have checked the panic. How? By
creating ON additional supply Of real money.
Time and again, the English government
has stopped panics by this simplest Of devices.

phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per
cent from total Of 1O107.
Considerable more than one-half Of Phos-
phate Of Potash.
Analysis Of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (Which join and make Phos-
plate Of Potash) Is considerable more than
onehalf Of all the mineral salts In the food.
DR. Geo. w. Carey, an authority on the
constituent elements Of the body, says: The
gray matter OF the brain Is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cellsalt, Potassium Phos-
plate phosphate Of Potash This salt unites
with albumen and by the addition Of oxygen
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the
brain. or course there is q trace OF other
salts and other organic matter In nerve hud
but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract, by
its own law Of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir Of life"
Further on he says: "The beginning and end
OF the matt@ is to supply the lacking principle,
and in molecular form exactly as nature fur
nishes 1t In vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply dehciencies-this is the only law Of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that II Phosphate
Of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain flag because It's daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary, If you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-buiiding.
Mind does not work we'll on brain that is
broken down by lack Of nourishment.
A peaceful and evenly poised mind is neces-
sary to good digestion.

KEEPING THE HANDS PRETTY
Some Good Beauty Advice to the
r Woman Who Does Her Own
HouseWork.

Because a woman does her own
homework there is no reason why her
hands should be coarse and red.
Dishes may be washed and all the
sweeping and busting done without in
any way destroying the natural tex
ture of the skin, If only person is
willing to take few simple precau-
tons.
On every sink there should stand a
Jar of vaseline or other heavy grease.
There will also be required a cake Of
good toilet soap and pair of old kid
gloves. The latter must be perfectly
clean inside.
Immediately after washing the
dishes and pans the hands should be
carefully washed in clean warm water
with the toilet soap, using nail brush
at the same time. Incidentally, there
will be tremendous saving to the
fingers if the pans are washed by put
ting strong soap powder into them
as soon as removed from the stove,
adding little hot water and then re-
placing them on the stove for few
minutes.
When the water comes to boil a
small, stiff brush may be washed
around in the tins. They are rinsed in
clear water and are scrupulously clean
without the fingers having come into
contact with the grease.
When the fingers have been washed
and wiped, the nails and backs of the
hands are to be thoroughly creased
and the gloves drawn on. They should
be worn all the time that sweeping
and busting is being done. On finish
ing the homework the gloves are re-
moved and the skin will be found soft
and smooth.
If any cream adheres 1t may be
washed off, wiping with dry towel
This treatment will keep the skin
soft. no matter what work is done.

Socially Launched.

In his native town Jimmy had al
ways been most popular with young
and old, but when he was sent away
to boarding school, he was for time
too homesick to make friends. His
first letter was little more than a
wall.
I'm way behind the other boys in
everything" he wrote, dolefully.
'Tisn't only studies, but It's gymna-
SUM and banjos and everything.
don't believe they'll ever have much
use for me-
But the second letter, written after
week in the new school, was quite
different in tone.
'I'm all right" he wrote to his
mother. "The boys say they'll teach
me all they know, for they're proud
to have me here I can stretch my
mouth half an inch wider than any
other boy in school, and my feet are
the longest by a full inch. SO you

came into possession Of a piece Of wire
OF considerable length and never hav-

was for. He was told that the white
man strung 1t on poles stuck In the
ground and voice talking to an in
strument at one end could be heard at
the other end, After some search the
next morning the Eskimo was found
to be engaged In telephone construc-
ton work Of his own. He stuck some
sticks In the ground and hung his
wire on them. He held one end Of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
It at the top OF his voice. Then be
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with

words repeated.
When ne failed to hear any sounds

Once month is quite often enough
to wash combs and brushes II they

For the thorough washing, half fill

put in a teaspoonful of common ba

Wash the brush out quickly, rims
in warm water, and dry in the open
air. This treatment will preserve the
bristles, firm and minated.
Combs and brushes should be kept

When we speak facetiously Of some
one for whom we have no reverence
as having kicked the bucket" we
employ a phrase that would seem to
be a piece of latter-day slang, but as
a matter OF fact, it dates back to old
England, when, about the year 1875,
one Bolsover hung himself to a beam
while standing on the bottom Of a
bucket, and then kicked the bucket
away. Although at first used only in
cases of suicide, it has been applied
in the course of years to any death,
without distinction.
