people looking for them, too. But

you, and come to find out, he isn't you
but your cousin he remembers. And
after you tell him with much detail

your mothers connections and all, he
says: "Oh, yes. Why, certainly.

Foundation.

While at Oberammergau last sum

stayed in the last house on Daisen'

old maids, one of whom, from a resi-
dence in London, could speak English
very well. When we left, Fraulein
Naef, the lady who spoke English
with a beaming fraeulein on either
hand, presented each Of us with q
stick of chewing gum, saying that al
though they did not chew gum them
selves, they understood that Amer
leans were very fond of 1t.
For minute we were utterly non
plussed. We could not tell these
dear new friends our opinion Of gum
chewers In general, and those who
chewed gum in Europe in particular
so we accepted the gift in the same
spirit Of kindly hospitality in which
it was given, and my stick Of gum is

"The travelling Salesman"

What should prove Of unusual in
terest to the local theatre-going public
is the approaching appearance of
James Forbes latest comedy The
Travelling Salesman" which comes to
the Grand, November 2Sth. Although
this comedy from the pen of the au-
thor Of "The Chorus Lady" has been
running steadily for over year, it has
spent nearly all its time in New York
and Chicago. 1t registered run of
nine months in Gotham, and Chicago
gave it unqualified support for twenty
one weeks. All of which is sufficient
evidence that Mr.. Forbes has written
a worthy successor to "The Chorus
Lady"

WOODROW WILSON is SAFE.

New Jerseys great governor is safe
in every sense. Safe of nomination,
safe of election and will be a safe pres
ident when elected.
This in reply to those who. falling of
other arguments try TO create the i'm
preston that Woodrow Wilson is a
"doctrinaire" whose theories, If put in
practice, might endanger the business
welfare of the republic
If they are honest in this belief they
can easily be convinced by a study of
his record that Governor Wilson is
eminently safe in the words best
meaning-because combining erudition
with great common sense, he knows
how to hold the scales of justice in
even balance between capital ard la
Dor, between "big business" and the
public welfare He has shown the
unfair interests that he is not afraid
of all the powers of evil and being of
all a demagogue he has declined to
truckle to the labor element when in
the wrong.
Thus he has commanded the conf
dence and respect of all these diver
gent elements with the result of bring
ing amicable solution to more than one
controversy where the great economic
forces which should be working hand
in hand were divided into hostile
camps.
In doctrine Woodrow Wilson is es-
sentially a democrat, who, while hold
ing fast to the fundamental tenets of
that great party, yet advocates the
principle On essentials unity. in non
essentials liberty and charity"
For this reason, while latter-day con-
ditions in his judgment demand legis-
lation along the lines of the referen-
dun and recall, direct nominations,
etc, he will make paramount in the
battle against the incepting a favored
few-now suffers, the eternal princi-
pies of democracy Equal right to all,

two reports of the United States Geo
logical Survey on the subject of this
mineral In one, Bulletin 420, Fields

by E. S. Bastin, published in 1910, the
feldspar deposits constituting this
potash ore had been described, and
their present unavailability as com
mercial sources of potash by any
known process plainly set forth. The
other report, on Potash Salts, Their
Uses and Occurrences in the United
States by w. c. Phalen, published
last winter, discusses all known sources
of potash and the practical problems of
extraction that affect the commercial
utilization of these various potash-con-
tanning materials, ranging from granite
to wool scourings and seaweed.
Prospective investors in potash
mines eve it to themselves to utilize
the publications of the Geological Sur
vey under the interior department and
of the bureau Of soils under the depart
ment of agriculture, to both of which
congress has made appropriations for
the investigation of possibly sources
of potash. While the primary object
of these investigations is to find Amer
lean potash, it is also the purpose of
the government bureaus to furnish the
public all available information on this
or on other subjects that may serve
to protect American capital, especially
that of small investors who are prone
to rush into new mining schemes.

Danger In Back Collar Button.


A British scientist has just been
pointing out the dangers of the high
collar in connection with long back
collar button, which, through weight
of the clothing ON the back of the
neck, may be leating the imprint deep
In the back of your neck.
In the first place the tall. stiff col
lar, which almost universally is too
tight, cuts off a certain amount Of
blood from the brain. Many persons
who are brain workers will recall the
disposition to loosen the neckband
before settling down to some hard
study. 1t is an indication of an inter
rupted blood supply to the brain Gel =.
Worse than this, however. the y
enlist is telling us that this long
shanked back collar button, under
pressure of the tight collar or from
weight of clothing around the neck,
may be exerting dangerous force upon
one of the most sensitive portions of
the spinal cord. The me5ulla of the
spinal cord is secondary only to the
brain itself Injury to 1t may paralyze
the nerve centers which control the
breathing apparatus.
