What Rev. Rollin Howard Says.

The eminent New York divine,
Rev. Rollin Howard, in a recent SER
mon, was gracious enough to say
" Madam X'' teaches a better lesson
than the clergy have ever been able
to deliver. The noted novelist and
dramatist, Alexandra Bison, is at
his best in this play and it's real
merit fully justifies it's remarkable
success. In the selection of the
present company for Madam X"
(Which by the way is the only one
legally authorized to play it) the
management exercised great care not
only in engaging artists of positive
ability, but types" that fill the Wis
ual requirements of the roles and
convey to the auditors the best pos
sible effect of the real characters liv-
ing their parts on the stage. This
commendable and unusual effort as
sures a great deal of interest and
enjoyment to audiences who care for
less acting" than for realizing true
embodiment of character. The moral
of Madam X" is pure and uplifting;
teaching the greatest of all passions
Mother Love"-one feels ever so
much better after seeing it. Madam
X" comes to town on Monday, Nov.

pecially clear did he make his rea-
sons for veoting the Democratic tar
if bills of the extra session. He
showed that the enactment and oper-
alton of those bills would have
brought destruction to our industries
and inadequate revenue to the Treas
uTy. The bills were simply a hodge,
podge of hasty framing-and were
devised with no idea of justice or
right.
Much has been said of Mr.. Taft's
jocular allusion to the possibility of
Democratic victory next year. 1t was
a semi-facetious remark and nothing
more. Mr.. Taft is a very generous,
whole-hearted man. He is not a poll
tician who goes about claiming every
thing. He is the most modest Presi-
dent we ever had But he is none
the less confident that he will be re-
elected and with him a Republican
House of Representatives. He be-
lieves in and relies on the common
sense of the people.
The Presidents trip was beneficial
not only to himself but to the people.
1t brought him into close touch with
the masses and he found out what
they wanted and these wants will be
reflected in his message to Congress
upon which he is now at work. 1t
will perhaps be the most important
message of his first term. He will
probably not allude to the tarik, max
ing that the subject of a special mes
sage afterwards. But he will advise
legislation that will help business
and carry greater benefits to the peo-
pie. AS the message will be before
the people in a few days it is useless
to discuss it at this time.
No previous administration can
show such advanced and progressive
results as the work accomplished by
President Taft and his cabinet Off
GERS. OF course as we increase in
population, wealth and power there is
more work to do and greater respon-
sibilities to meet, but the present
administration has not only been
equal to the task but has taken up
new plans and put them into execu-
tion with most satisfactory results.
In all this work the President and
his cabinet have moved from a non
partisan standpoint. The trust prose-
cutions; the tariff board; the Conser-
walton Measures; the economy and
efficiency plans, by which millions
have already been saved; the postal
inquiries, the monetary investigation,
and various commissions have all
been inaugurated by the President
for the ultimate benefit of the whole
people, and it may be added that all
of the appointments of President
Taft have been nonpolitical selecting
and appointing in every case the
man best equipped for the position.

from $4,000 to 1000 but all the rest
of the Republican ticket was elected
and Massachusetts will be in the Re-
publican column next year, as will
all other New Engand States with
New York and New Jersey.
The Congressional elections re-
suited very favorably from a Repub-
lican standpoint. In the first New
Jersey District where H. G. Louden-
slayer received only $40 plurality last
year, w. j. Browning received 5000
this year. A Republican was elected
to succeed a Democrat in the four
teenth Pennsylvania district. In the
second Kansas district a Democrat
was elected to fill the unexpired term
of Mr.. Mitchell, due to a factional
fight, but the district will elect a Re-
publican next year-and the indica-
tions are that the Republicans will
have a good substantial majority in
the next House of Representatives.
President tart ana his friends con-
slider his trip a great success from
every standpoint. 1t brought him
close to the people and showed them
what an earnest, honest, candid Pres
ident they have. Mr.. Taft explained
his views of public questions and his
arguments were unanswerable. Es-

BREATHE THROUGH THE NOSE.
Says Karl de Schweinitz, Executive
Secretary, Pennsylvania Society
for the Prevention of Tu-
bercuIOSis

The nose is better filtering plant
than man has yet been able to in
vent. 1t not only filters the air be-
fore sending it to the lungs but it
also warns and moistens it. Blow
your nose while you are on a train
or walking along a dusty road. The
black that you will find on your
handkerchief represents the dirt that
youI nose is constantly preventing
from reaching your lungs.
Pure air is just as necessary to
the lungs as pure water is to the
stomach. Therefore breathe only
through the nose. Mouth breathing
is harmful, it does not warm, filter
or moisten the air sufficiently.
When you breathe through the
mouth you short circuit the nose by
stopping the openings that connect
it with the bronchial tubes and the
lungs.
If you find trouble in breathing
through the nose something is sure
to be wrong. You may have ade-
noids or some other obstructing
growth at the back of the nose. Go
to doctor Immediately and have
the trouble adjusted. Mouth breath
ing is bad habit. Let nothing
keep you from breathing through
the nose.

Transmitting Pictures BY Wire.

1t is a well-known fact that the
metal solenium varies in its electrical
resistance with the intensity of the
light falling upon it. This peculiar
property of solenium has been made
use of in a German apparatus, used
for telegraphing reproductions of
photographs. This achievement, al
though the device does not appear
as yet to have been put to CONNER
cial use, has naturally led to the
quickening of the expectation that
the day will come when we shall be
able to see as we'll as talk over
wires charged with electricity. But
solenium, in spite of it's advantages,
has held out no promise of our being
able to tell the colors of a distant
scene as the metal does not distin-
guish between colors and is therefore
incapable of transmitting them. But
a professor in Amsterdam has dis
covered that another mineral also
varies in its electrical conductivity
with the light falling upon it and
that in addition it varies in it's con-
ductivity according to the color of
that light. Green has only a slight
effect, red rays act much more
strongly, while violet rays reduce the
electrical infusion to about one two
hundredth of what it was in the
dark. In consequence it is felt that
the use of this mineral, which is
called stibnite, may eventually enable
us to tell colors at a distance. Stib-
mite, however, is not new mineral,
but is a common ore of antimony
which was known even to the anci-
ents, who, it is said, used to color
their eyebrows by running this red
dish-brown material over them.
