A fashio, Garrick Killed.

Women of England In the eighteenth
century wore large hats. Samuel Rog-
ers once Travelled to Ranelagh In the
same coach with a woman who was
compelled to sit on a stool on the floor
of the coach on account Of the incon
venient height of her headdress. Han
nah More, who was all for simplicity
In costume. writes in her diary that
she has seen women wearing on their
heads IAN acre and a half of shrub
berry, besides slopes, grass plats. tulip
beds, clumps of peonies, kitchen gar
dens and greenhouses" The credit of
killing this fashion Is given to Garrick.
He appeared one night on the stage
with a mass Of vegetables on his head
and a carrot suspended from each
side, to the shame and confusion of
many fair members Of his audience"

Hard Soap Made With Soda.

Add to three pounds of washing soda
a pound and half of unslaked lime
and two gallons Of boiling water. Let
it stand until perfectly clear, then
drain and add three pounds good, clear
fat that has been strained. Put over
the fire and boil until the mixture
hardens, which will be in about two
hours. Watch closely and stir with a
wooden stick very frequently. After
the mixture has boiled half the time
add one gallon of cold water which
was poured on the sediment remain
ing after the two gallons of water was
drained off. Just before taking from
the fire add small handful Of salt
Pour into wooden boxes or trays lined
with several thicknesses of wrapping
paper, the layer next to the soap be-
ing oiled to prevent its sticking. The
soap will harden in short time, when
it can be cut into cakes and put on
shelf to dry.

HINTS FOR The
BUSY HOUSEWIFE
Kitchen Wood Box In the
Wall of the House.

In planning house or remodeling
the kitchen provision should be made
for storing a liberal quantity of stove
wood, heater chunks or coal. SO as to
avoid going out in the rain or snow to
the woodshed for the house supply,
which in a protracted cold spell must
be replenished often. The sketch shows
how a built-in wood box may be ar
ranged to load from the outside and
emptied from the inside. says Popular
Mechanics. A spring lock or hasp on
the kitchen side keeps the box closed
against entry from the outside. This
box insures a lasting supply of dry
wood, as it may be built as large as
ones needs demand.

THE REASON WHY.

President Taft in his speech at
Marion, Ind, deplored the disin-
tegration which is now being ex-
perienced by his party. 1t must be
admitted, that at the present time
there is no unity or cohesiveness
in the party and unihcation seems
hopeless. The party is divided,
not so much on national policies
as personal interests, one element
to keep office and another element
to secure the offices regardless of
the welfare of the people and the
country. The President, who the
writer believes to be an honest,
able, we'll meaning man, is partial
Iv responsible for the conditions
which he now deplores. He has
appointed men of the opposition
party to high positions to the ex-
clusion of men of his own party
equally, if not more capable OF
filling such positions. In the good
ness of mis- heart he held onto Bal
linger until public sentiment forced
him to resign. He approved of
the discharge of men from the In
terror department because they
were endeavoring to prevent the
government from being robbed of
lands worth millions of dollars,
Watertown leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1909-1911, 1911-07-07

Is there an honest politician in
public service at the present time?
If there is, he would hardly dare
voice the boast in anticipation of
cry from the ruling power with
in the portals of the most high
politically: ''Crucify him, cruelty
him. But the tim is coming, and
not far distant, when the common
people will rise in their might and
select one of their own to guide the
ship of state and master the situa-
ton In a time of white, not colored
slavery.

PATRIOTISM MEANS MUCH.

How many OF the youthful cele-
brants on the Fourth of July gave
sober thought to the epoch in the
history Of our country the day COM
memorates? How many parents
attempted to divert the attention
of their cherished ofsprings from
the customary roar Of the canon
cracker" to the inspiring lessons
taught in what the days festivities
should really commemorate; to the
trials, tribulatlons and seli-sacri-
fee Of our sainted forefathers; those
who paved the way in trying days
that we, in this day and age might
live to enjoy the freedom Of speech
and action, their virtue and fore
thought wrought? How many of
the parents in our Land of the
free and home of the brave" enter
ed into the sanctuary of patriotism
with their little ones to tell them
and Undue their little minds with
that grand inspiration taught from
the event of I776-the signing of
the Declaration of independence?
How many pointed out in lovable
words of reverence the character OF
the first president of the United
States and Father of his Coun-
try"-George Washington? These
grand lessons should no be permit
ted to escape the juvenile mind
obliterated in the roar and excite
ment of what is becoming more and
more a burlesque on the anniver
sary of our Day OF independence.
If proper committees cannot see fit
to sacrifice beer tests" for a loyal
patriotic celebration, then parental
pride and patriotic impulses should
spur them on to higher sense OF
duty in the enlightenment of the
present generation-those, who, in
time, will be called upon TO shape
the destiny OF their country and
who may yet be compelled to Crap
pie with problems even greater
than those of George Washington S
time. The Leader has a sugges-
ton to offer to the populace of
Watertown, and other cities SINH
larly situated. If for any good
reason the adult population does not
wish to hold celebration for fear
that it might interfere in a slight
degree with future events, the chill
dren, at least, should not be ne
elected or have their intellect stun
ned in the knowledge of patriotism:
Our suggestion is this: Next year,
lCl Wv dtCl tOWll nave d CuliulCl >
celebration parade of school
children; exercises, consisting of a
patriotic address and songs, such
as the children can grasp; the read
ing of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence; a program of wholesome
juvenile sports, for prizes, in the
afternoon; concluding with fire
works in the evening. To those
who have patriotism and the chill
dren at heart, this utter neglect of
their happiness and need in keeping
alive the spark of patriotism, the
selhshness shown is disgusting to
say the least. This suggestion
will not be lost sight of by the
Leader and we trust it may be the
means of instilling more patriotism
and less burlesque in the minds of
the coming generation.

Think of it the 9TH of July and
the Wisconsin Legislature still in
session! For goodness sake, get
the hook" Are the members pro-
longing the session in order show
by their arduous duties they are en-
titled to a raise of 500 in pay. If
the average legislature, and the
last in particular, would have met

crawled into a little hole and pulled

state would have been far better
served.

The state has been gerrymander-
ed by the legislature to make ii
possible for a few republican pin
heads to go to Congress and there
is dissatisfaction throughout the
state in the ranks of the republi-
cans to say nothing about our
democratic friends who have been
bunchoed. During the session
laws have been enacted to perpleX
and annoy the voter. Our demo
cratic friends should be cheer full
for to them is largely due the pre-
vailing political conditions in the
state. Had they been loyal tc
their party the past few years, that
which they now condemn would
not have materialized.

Congress still in session and
nothing being done for the benefit
and relief Of the people as far as
the senate is concerned. 1t has
been a talkfest from the beginning
of the special session; lot of po-
litical nine-spots boviating to make
political capital for themselves and
the national expenditures pile up
and new means must Ee devised in
order to raise revenue. Had con-
greSs met IN special session and
either ratified the Canadian pact or
rejected it and then adjourned and
gone home, it would have been an
evidence Of wisdom; but it has
been cheap politics from the very
outset and Of the very cheapest
kind. But few of the members ap-
pear to realize that they owe their
