John Smith, manager of the Palco

we have never considered that Asbury
had team worthy of a first team
playing, and second because we could
not afford to go out on Saturday for
the fun of it, but if they will promise
to import few players from nearby
towns so they can put up some kind of
a game and will come to town we will
play them any time without notice
but If they expect to play all home

the Palco Kid team or Some other
team of their equal as we do not care
to put on any farce am charge the
people for it. AS to the 500 score
We never intimated thSt we would
agree to beat them by that score. but
that we would come nearer doing that
than they would come TO beating US
by the score they did the Kid team
and then try to make the impression
that they had beaten the Palco first
team, and if they will play their same
lineup they had when Trey played our

traordinary is the entire inability of
manufacturers Of enamels to respond
to their demands. One manufacturer
desires an enamel for coating the mall
leable iron shells used on the Bunsen
burners employed in incandescent gas
lighting mechanisns. The enamel used
is destroyed by oxidation and by the
ammonia and sulphur found in the
gas. Another manufactures desires an
enamel resistive to the reagents used
in photography; he manufactures pho
Geographic machinery and Photographic
trays. Still another is desperately in
need of a resistive enamel with which
to coat storage battery cells. The art
of enameling cooking utensils Is prac-
ticed under medieval conditions of
superstition and empiricism, and in no
instance do these cooking utensils
even remotely approximate the ideal.
No enamel in the market intended for
the lining of iron or steel containing
vessels responds to the needs of manu-
facturers.

NrR scOTvIvs npPORTI1NITY.

In all probability, Charles F. Scott
of lola will find a considerable and an
/ important sentiment in the Second
congressional district in favor of his
! becoming again a candidate for the
house of representatives. Mr.. Scott
has addressed letters to many of his
! friends asking their opinion as to
whether he should enter the race or
not. And so gratifying are the replies
he is beginning to receive that he Will
likely announce his candidacy before
long If he does, and there Is a pri-
mary to make the nomination as there
should be and as Mr.. Scott favors, 1t
is likely that the returns will tell a
different story than they did on that
primary night of two years ago when
Mr.. Scott was defeated of renomina-
ton and thereby of election to this
same office by the late lamented Alex
ander Mitchell. Capable man that he
was. it is an almost undeniable fact
that Mr. Mitchell was swept into this
Office by that fleeing wave of Repub-
lican insurgency which spread over
the land at that time but which is
now far advanced on its permanent
ebb.

in the halls of congress. Because he
believed in majority rule and worked
to sustain the prowess of the Repub-
lican majority in the house, he was
styled as standpatter and he went
down to an unjust defeat. Mr.. Scott
is the right kind of progressive in
all things. "A progressive Republican
is as President Taft has so well said,
"one who recognizes existing and con-
crete evils and is in favor of practical
and definite steps to eradicate them"
Such a progressive is Mr.. Scott.
He had worked himself up to Il
position of much prominence in the
house of representatives when he was
thoughtlessly retired. He had become
a most valuable congressman to his

voice in the administration of the af-
fairs of the nation and the protection
of its own rights, it must have expert
enced men in congress who are capa-
BILE in every particular. Mr.. Scott is
just such a man. The people of the
Second congressional district of Kan
sas will make no mistake in urging
him to come out as a candidate for
the Republican congressional nomina-
ton that is soon to be made there. Nor
Will they make anything that savOrs
of a mistake in subsequently electing
him again to the position he has filled
with honor for a number of years.

What is probably the Oldest prescrip-
ton in the world, according to DIR. Jas.
J. Walsh, of this city, is in the Net
ropolitan Museum Of Art. He made
the announcement of the fact in the
New York Medical Journal, TO which
he has contributed an article on Pre-
scriptions Old and New
Scholars agree that fully $500 years
have elapsed since the wise physician
who wrote it drove up in his chariot
and inquired as to the state of health
of Mrs. Amenpthah, or whatever her
name was, for which this medicant was
directed She was suffering from hys-
terra, and the physician said: My dear
madam, what you truly require is a
voyage up the Nile. Nothing so bene-
fetal as moonlight in a galley" 1t
may have been, who knows, for time
passes so quickly, that the head of the
house had given the medical man Il
quiet hint to make this hysteria Il little
scarcer.
So what did the physician do but pre-
scribe that the lady have a kind OF
emerald, ground up and mixed with a
resinous powder and burned up, SO that
she could inhale the smoke that came
from this costly remedy. Such pre-
scriptions would induce hysteria in
these daye if the drains on the jewel
casket were especially heavy. The pre-
scription was written on a chunk of
limestone about the size Of a human
fist, by means of a brush and ink It
has been we'll preserved all these years,
and although temporarily withdrawn
from public view on account of certalh
rearrangements which are being made,
it will be seen in a new setting This
fall.
DR.. Walsh directs attention to the
fact that even in the eighteenth dynas-
ty women had nerves. Also physicians
must have had nerve to make a woman
smoke up her best ornaments for medi-
cinal purposes. The prescription in this
case seems to have been an emerald !:
at any rate, it was very expensive, and
betokens the wealth of the patient.
Less. precious stones like chrysOphrase
were used for the middle classes, and
plain malachite, which was cheap, SUI
ficed for the poor. From which DR..

cludes that humanity has not changed
much in the last 80 centuries--NeN
