ADDY had explained to Jack and Evelyn that the little white creature
that was flying about the screen trying to get into the window to the

he went to sleep after flying about all night in search of III and food he was
too tired to look about Tor a good hiding place. He just crawled OF the under

fearing the water competition. 1t is
even said that the Canadian rail
roads are behind the protest now
being made by Great Britain.
1t is highly probable that should
the United States show favor to
American shipping through the
canal. other countries would retail
late on American shipping else
where. Senators Root and Burton
have sounded a timely warning IN
the senate against hasty action along
this line and the more the question
is considered the more it becomes
evident that it should be viewed
from every angle before final action
is taken. Whichever way we look
at it we have trusts to deal with.
If canal tolls could be made low
enough to compete with the rail-
roads, and yet not give any advan-
tage to the shipping trust, 1t would
probably be the most satisfactory to
the country at large.

OF a compromise come entirely from

the party workers who hesitate to
get away entirely from the Repub-
lican party and burn their bridges
behind them.
The success of the progressive
movement depends entirely on
whether or not 1t is able to convince
the people that it is an absolutely in
dependent organization. 1t must be
a political party in every sense of
the word in order to secure the ON
idence of the great Independent vote
to which 1t appeals.
Mr.. Roosevelt knows more about
politics than any half dozen of the
men who are working with him and
we believe that if his suggestions
are carried out the new party will
stand a far better chance Of main
tanning it's position before the peo-
pie than along any such lines as
some of the various state workers
are now mapping out.

PANAMA CANAL TOLLS.

A great deal of agitation Is now
going on as to whether or not
American ships shall receive special
favors In using the Panama canal.
England has served notice that she
will oppose any such step and other
countries are getting ready to join
in the protest.
The treaty under which the Unit
ed States took over the full control
of the canal provides that all ma
lions shall use the canal on an
equal basis. Some members Of the
senate believe the United States has
a right to do as 1t pleases with its
own property. Senator Lodges plan
is to charge all vessels alike, but to
grant a rebate to all American YES
sells equal to the amount of toll
charge for passing through the
canal. This is q scheme that all
countries could adopt as we'll as
America. Thus the canal tolls
would be paid by the respective
governments instead of the shipping
interests. Those opposing this plan
declare It would be playing into the
hands of the shipping trust which
has been seeking subsidies for years.
On the other hand. 1t is alleged that
the trans-continental railroads are
behind the opposition to granting

ON SIMPLE LINES.
Materials May Safely Be Left to the
Choice Of the Wearer, ~ Any Num-
Der VIII Make Up to Excel
mt Advantage.

The illustration, to my thinking,
gery smart women often order a num-
Der Of country frocks built on just
such simple lines. Materials may vary
according to the use which will be
made of the gown, but the side but
Joining on This one-piece style, the con-
:rasting cpllar and cuffs, and the easy
neck and sleeve cuts never vary,
Linen and duck dresses made In this
way are used for boating and golf,
md they are admirable for city mar
keting and other shopping. while for
working use the dress would very
likely be In good Bingham in a more
practical color.
But why always have ones working
clothes In a %practincal color, thinks
somebody, and why, indeed, If n
loves gay ones and looks well in
!hem? So / want to tell you that such
plain little gowns would be charm
ing If made Of ginghams In the dain-
tier colors-pale blue. violet, pink. vel
low, etc., the plain trimming match
Ing the patterning OF the goods or
else Of white. One might not be able
to scrub the floor in such a dress, but
dinner could be cooked while wearing
1t, for 1t Is understood that a dainty
dress must be protected with a large
apron. While fresh, the frock in a
delicate color, made up in this man
ner, would be good enough for re-
ceiying company morning or after
noon, as nobody dresses as much in
summer as in other seasons.
When making up house gowns the
tricks Of the trade should certainly be
observed If one wants the genuine
house effect and lasting usefulness.
For example, the shop dresses, both
bodice and skirt, are put together
with p~udding-bag s~eams-sewed first
on the right side, then on the wrong
this arrangement permitting much
better possibilities with laundering.
Then as pearl buttons Of good sort
are always dearer than fancy bone
ones, a number of the frocks show the
smartest knob fasteners IN bright col
ors. One black and white percale
frock cen recently was decked off
with knob bone buttons In a rich wa
termelon pink, these running down the
side OF the dress from the neck to
hem. Buttons Of the same sort, or in

PICKLiNG TIME.

Every frugal housekeeper likes to
have her shelves well stocked with
good things for the winter. Today
one may buy such good canned goods
that much OF the work has been given
up; but We all have q few time-hon-
ored and handed-down recipes which
we prepare each year. The following
are a few which are old and reliable:
To Can Green Corn Without Cook
Ing.-Take nine cups Of corn cut from
the cob, have the cor just picked.
one cup of sugar, half a cup Of salt
and a u Of cold water; mix all to-
gether and place In sterillzed cans,
sealed tight. Freshen when using.
Beet Rellsh-A quart Of boiled
beets chopped, two cups Of sugar, ia
blespoonful of salt, a ~teaspoonful OF
white pepper, half a teaspoon Of red
pepper and a cup Of grated horserad-
ish; mix all together and add enough
vinegar to make it moist. Can cold.
Canned Red Peppers.-These dell
cious little appetizers which cost too
much in the winter to have often, may
be canned successfully at home. First,
raise your own sweet peppers, and
when ready to can, wash and cut In
strips with the scissors, cover with
boiling water and let stand five min
utes; drain and plunge into ice "a
ter to cover, In which there Is a large
piece of ice. Again drain and pack
into pint jars. To n quart of vine
gar add two cups of sugar. Boil to-
gether fifteen minutes and pour over
the peppers until overlooking; seal
and store In a cold place.
Ripe Tomato PickIe.-Mix the fol-
lowing ingredients in a stone jar:
Three pints Of peeled and chopped
tomatoes, a cup Of celery chopped,
four tablespoonfuls Of chopped red
pepper, the "bity" kind, and four Ia
b~lespoonfuls OF chopped onion, the
same Of salt, six t~ablesponfuls Of
same Of salt, six tablespoonfuls OF
teaspoonful of cloves, the same OF
cinnamon, a ~teaspoonful of grated,
nutmeg, and two cups of vinegar. This
will keep a year., and Is good to use
in a week. Fine for meats.

ROOSEVELT ELECTORS.

Theodore Roosevelt has
ed thai he is utterly opposed to any
compromise in regard to the electors
on the presidential ticket this fall.
He claims that where the primaries
to elect delegates to the national
, convention gave him a majority, he
Is entitled to the regular Republican
electors and hat the Taft men must
make up the third ticket. Several
of the various state leaders, how
ever, favor placing the electors on
both the Republican and Progressive
tickets and have the electors vote
for either Taft or Roosevelt, &C
cording to which ticket gets the
greatest number OF votes. Roose-
welt would appropriate the entire
Republican party machinery to his
own party, in such states where he
won in the last primaries. Some of
his advisers favor a compromise.
The latter plan would make the
movement look like merely a split
of the Republican party hat is to
serve the purpose Of carrying out
Roosevelt's personal ambition this
year and then pass out of existence.
AS we understand the progressive
movement. 1t Is an attempt to or
ganize an entirely new party, leav-
ing the two old parties to fight it
out themselves with the bosses and
old time political machines. II the
progressive party is to uphold this
idea throughout the country it can
not In any way affiliate with the Re-
publican party in the election of
electors, no matter how much 1t
may improve the chances of the
progressive party to win In some of
the states.
Mr.. Roosevelt must be given full
credit for his determination to fight
the campaign out ON entirely separ-
r
ate lines. While some of his an
agonists are trying to blame him
Or the attempt to steal some of the
Republican electors, it Is plain that
Mr.. Roosevelt Is entirely sincere in
the stand he has taken and what
suggestions there are along the line

well to appropriate $3.50 to kill the
rats along the waterfront. The bu-
bonic plague which is now raging in
Cuba and Porto Rico is a very seri-
Gus matter. There are those who
declare hat it Is only a question Of
time before it will make It's appear
ance on the American continent. 1t
is pointed out hat the plague seems
to be travelling around the world
and has now reached the western
hemisphere, right at the door of the
United States.
Hundreds of ships travel between
the West Indian ports and America
every 1t is we'll known that
all these vessels are more or less in
tested with rats and that docks and
wharves In the various harbors are
literally alive with the rodents.
Those who have made a study of
the plague have proven beyond a
doubt that the rat is the greatest
source of spreading the contagion.
For this reason wherever the plague
has broken out and where special eff
forts are being made to guard
against it, the first steps are to
eliminate the rats.
In New York extreme precautions
are being taken along this line and
Perth Amboy cannot afford to ig-
more the matter. One infested rat
landing on our shore from the West
Indian ports, where the plague o
exists, would be sufficient to infest
all the other rats In our harbor
from which the plague would rap
| lily spread to human beings.
The State Board of Health real
ICES the seriousness Of the situation
and has taken steps to guard the
ports of New Jersey, of which Perth
| Amboy is the principal one. Every
where efforts are being made to kill
| the rats. Very often in cases Of this
| kind it Is very hard to arous any
| public interest until it Is too late.
The time to guard against the
| plague, however, is before it has
broken out. With vessels coming
into Perth Amboy from the West
Indies it Is just as likely to break
out here as anywhere else. For this
reason the greatest p~recaution
should be taken to see that no rats
are allowed to get on shore from
the various vessels and every step
should be taken to kill what rats
there are along the water front.
While there Is no particular rea-
son for being alarmed owe the sit
uation there is good reaso nwhy
every %precaution should be taken.
1t would be a mighty poor advertise
ment for Perth Amboy to have the
news spread through the world that
the bubonic plague first made its
appearance on the North American
continent at this port.

74oo Child's One-Piece Dress,
to s years.

EuDloioc1y DeslRu NO. S6f.
The dress that is closed right down the
front and worn with boomers to match
Is one Of the most practical ever devised
and is in the height OF style. This one is
smart, both for the tiny boys and the
little girls. The boomers to match are
liked by both sexes and are exceedingly
practical and satisfactory garments. In
the illustration, the dress is made OF linen
and the edges are scalloped but what
makes the best finish is entirely a matter
Of taste. The plain one-piece sleeves are
stitched to the arm-holes and, when made
short, are finished with cuffs, when long,
are tucked at the wrists. The belt Is
arranged under wide straps at the under,
arm seams and these straps make rather
a feature. In this case, they are cut from
embroidery. Scalloped edges are both
smart and attractive but a straight,
stitched hem at the front of the dress Is
all that is necessary and the collar and
cuffs can be banded with contrasting
material or braid and the belt can be
either OF the material or Of patent leather.
For little girls the dress would be lapped
from right to left, otherwise 1t remains
unchanged.
For the 4 year size, the dress will require
8 yards Of material Fl. rs yards SO or "a
