Jones for Governor, some Of his
friends are rather piQued because
of the small showing in the meet.
ing to endorse him. Lack of inter
est may be due to several reasons
The time was not opportune for
such a movement. The people are
busy; besides, they seem inclined
to resent any political move at this
time. The better plan would have
been to endorse Judge Jones when
he held court here in October.
Probably a larger number would
have participated, and the Judg'
would have softened the though,
of snap partisan proceedings.

as direct result of the interest of
Jacob Riis in this movement, the
Delaware Anti Tuberculosis Asso-
citation, headed by Miss Emily p.
Bissell, and the Red Cross Society
of Delaware, combined in issuing
tuberculosis Stamp. So success
full was this campaign that nearly
$4,000 was realized, and the next
year, in 1908, the American Red
Cross was induced to issue Ma
tional Red Cross Tuberculosis
Stamp. From this sale, $l35,OO
was realized, that amount being
almost doubled in 1909. Last
year, for the first time, the sale
was organized on comprehensive
basis, taking in all parts of the
United States, and $4,000 worth
were sold. In 1911, the slogan for
the campaign is, "a Million for
Tuberculosis from Red Cross

SHARPENING SENSE OF SMELL
English School Monitor Discovers
Way to Increase Sensitiveness
Of olfactory Nerves.

Woman's sense of smell Is well
known to be sharper than is the
sense OF smell in man. broadly sneak.
ing. disregarding occasional varia.
dons In individuals. But mans In.
genuity has enabled him to Offset this
defect In most simple manner.
In certain English boys school, q
man monitor has charge OF rooms
and dormitories, reporting upon sur.
reptitiously introduced wines, ales
anr tobaccos. Cigarettes are tabooed
without chance OF apology. To dis.
cover these odols has been one of
the prime duties of the monitor. And
In doing so he has chanced upon a
most effective scheme.
He carries with him on his rounds
glass OF water. Entering q room
where suspected odors may be I'm
nasal evidence, he dips a finger In
the water and moistens his nostrils
freely. In moment the odor of stale
tobacco or OF ales or wines strikes
his olfactories with hammer blow.
In explanation the monitor says that
as the sense OF taste Is slight un-
less the substance be in solution,
either through water or by mastica.
uon. 1t occurred to him that his sense
OF smell might be quickened by a
watered nose. He says that he can
discover In strong degree odors that,
without wetting the nose. are imper.
ceptible.

A breadmaking machine which will quickly knead enough dough to make one to six ioaves of bread has been Invented by New Jersey man. The machine is in the form of cylinder which can be clamped fast to the
 kitchen table and which has a lid hinged to the top Inside the cylinder is a spiral blade which Is operated by a handle at one end The dough Is poured inside. and as the handle turns it mixes and kneads by compression against the ends of the cylinder. The
 consistency of the dough can be judged by the difficulty with which the handle works without the trouble of lifting the lid This method of kneadine is not only much easier and
 quicker tl,4n doing the work by hand, but is more sanitary If the machine
 is kept clean it is likely to be much i cleaner than the cooks hands, no mat ' ter how often she washes them
