The Gloomy Poets.

In the course of a week a large
number of poems reach this office,
most OF them written by persons with
little experience in verse making, says
the Kansas City Star The striking
thing about the output, however, is
not that so many persons who have
never written poetry should be eXper
imenting with It, but that nine-tenths
of them should be so melancholy. The
great majority o. poems submitted for
publication reflect spirit of gentle
gloom.
What are the wild waves saying?"
inquire the poets with one accord.
And why do they say it? Why should
o sense of woe weigh us down? Why
are the autumn winds so melancholy?
Why is anything, anyhow?
A careful reading of several hun
dred poems of this type does not
leave the impression that the writer's
are such a gloomy lot as they might
appear. One comes TO believe that
most of them are normally cheerful,
but that somehow they have been led
to suppose that sadness belongs to
poetry

Your Money Back If You are Not
Satisfied With the Medicine We
Recommend.

We are so positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation,
no matter how chronic it may be, that
expense should it fail to produce
satisfactory results.
1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause a reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more
chronic Besides their use becomes
habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a weak
ness of the nerves and muscles of the
large intestine or descending colon.
To expect permanent relief you must
therefore tone up and strengthen these
organs and restore them to healthier
activity.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our recommendation. They are
exceedingly pleasant to take, being
eaten like candy, and are ideal for
children, delicate persons, and old
folks as we'll as for the robust. They
act directly on the nerves and muscles
of the bowels. They apparently have
a neutral action on other associate
organs or glands They do not purge,
cause excessive looseness, nor create
any Inconvenience whatever. They
may be taken at any time day or
night. They will positively relieve
chronic or habitual constipation, if
not of surgical variety, and the
myriads of associate or dependent
chronic ailments, if taken with regu-
larity for a reasonable length Of time.

FOOD VALUE OF CHESTNUTS
Are Rich In Starch and Fat, Better
Than Potatoes and Almost as
Good as Bread.

In France much attention Is given
to the propagating of the chestnut,
and the fruit is spoken of with enthu.
siasm and respect. In French litera-
ture, especially in stories for children,
the chestnut tree is quite as impor-
tant feature as the plum tree in the
politics of this country, where we
speak lightly of the chestnut and
then pay at the rate of So a bushel
for them. The small French chestnut
is called the "chataigne," but the
large or giant chestnut is the mar
ron" The marion is cultivated ex-
tensively in France and Italy, where
it is used in large quantities.
Every soda fountain menu" says
the New York Soda Fountain, trade
journal, has some reference to mar
rons, and marrons glace are a favor
lite after-dinner morsel at all the larg.
er hotels, yet few persons realize that
while primarily a dessert delicacy,
marrons are an exceedingly whole
some and valuable food. 1t is not
generally known that the fruit OF the
chestnut tree is nearly as valuable
as bread and more valuable than po
tatoes as a food, being rich in starch
and fat"
In some districts of Pennsylvania
much attention is now given to the
planting Of chestnut trees. There are
several hill counties in Indiana, like
Brown, Monroe and Morgan, where
the marion and the smaller sized
chestnuts could be made a source of
profit.

1t was a political meeting In the

his constituents. The politician in

was one man in the front row of the
audience who made numerous inter-

To Burn Paper.

There are times when there are
bundles of old papers to be burned.
This is dangerous in a CRATE fire. The
following is the method which will
avert danger Of the chimney catching
fire. Make tight rolls of all the papers
and fasten them with pieces of soft
wire-broomstick wire will do. They
will then form a kind of a log and
burn slowly without a dame. The
rolls may be made of any size and
several Of them burnt together.

Politics in Germany.

|. Complete ofncial reports of the elec-
tions in Germany confirm the earlier
estimates of a growth of Social De
mocracy, perhaps also of . drift to-
ward Radicalism as means of op-
posing Socialism, both Of these parties
showing a growth in Eve years, while
all others show a decline.
We are not wrong, therefore, in pre-
dieting that the problem which will
then confront the other parties-may-
hap confronts them already-is the
chance of forming an anti-Socialist
group. But this, it must be confessed,
does not seem very encouraging The
Socialists long have been the most
numerous party in the empire, and their
plurality is steadily increasing. FIVE
years ago they polled 20 per cent OF
all the votes cast, but this year their
proportion rose TO IS per cent. The
clericals of the Center" have been
and still are the second party in num-
bers. But their hold on the second
place is failing and In the next quin-
quennial Reichstag election it is not
improbable that they. viii be surpassed
by the Radicals.
The Clerical percentage of the vote
fell from Io in 1907 to I6 in 1912,
while that of the Radicals rose from
II to II in round numbers. The once
powerful National Liberal party con-
tinues to decline, its shares in the two
years named being IS and IA, respec-
lively. The Conservatives fraction
of per cent only, the Free Conserva-
tives from 4 to 8, the Poles from half
a per cent. and the Economic Union
from 3 to ?. The residue of votes
cast by nearly a score of minor par
ties also declined from s.5 to 46 per
cent. s..
The "schism" in the Socialist party
which many had expected did not oc-
cur at the recent congress at Chem
nitz, and it seems probable that the
party will maintain its integrity and
continue to grow in numbers during
the next FIVE years. In that case it
may at the next general election poll
40 per cent of the total vote, and in
another decade may have a clear ma
jority of the popular vote of the en-
pire The problem which then will con-
front the other parties, and which, in
deed, confronts them already, is the
possibility of forming an anti-Socialist
group, which it must be confessed
does not seem very hopeful,
Clericals and Radicals both hate So
cialism, but they also hate each other.
Conservatives might cooperate with
Clericals. but they never will combine
with National Liberals, not to mention
Radicals.

A Chapter on Women's Hats.

What becomes of discarded women's
hats! Numerous attempts have been
made to answer this question correctly
by men, but. of course, they failed.
Women long ago could have solved the
puzzle, but they have preferred to
number this among the other mysteries
concerning themselves that keep men
guessing. Recently a Kansas woman
very nearly divulged the secret, but in
the end she renigged and left the in
vestigator nothing but a clew. What she
said was that when a woman discards
her hat and buys new one, she
takes the old one up to the attic and
carefully puts it into trunk with a
lot of others.
In the light of tradition this sounds
perfectly reasonable, says the Christian
Science Monitor Researches have
shown that in doing so the woman of
to-day follows the example of a long
line of ancestresses. There never is,
was, or ever will be a woman's hat
that is put out of the way for good.
This means that there never was either
a completely old or a completely new
woman's hat.
This, to our mind. is perfectly true.
Very few women put away a hat with
out expecting to wear II again .'in M
stallments. !" Has ever a woman bought
a hat without planning to use some part
of an old hat in the trimming of the
new one? Is there new fashion in
spring or fall hats without thousands
of women rummaging through their
attic trunks-or other old hat recep-
tacles-in search of old hats that have
on them something which they need for
their latest headgear? It may
be plume, or a buckle, or piece of
lace, or ribbon. Or it is the chiffon,
perhaps even the shape. But whatever
It is, it is something women never have
forgotten ever since the day they put
It away. -
Thus it is seldom that an old hat IS
lost, It may. be deprived of its TRIM
mings, one by one. but when it gets
down to the bare shape the chances are
that the style has returned and that
/ can be trimmed all over again.
