So winds up Al article in one Of the
New York Sunday papers about a man
prominent Just now in the world of
politics. OF he's q Democrat.
Without any desire to rub it in or hurt
the feelings Of any Republican or Pro-
gressive we may say without untruth-
fulness that most Of the statesmen and
politicians about whom the United
States is going to hear a great deal
In the next few years are Democrats.
It really was a tremendous overturn
that was decreed on Nov. s. Not since
the early nineties. when the Democrat
10 party. led by Grover Cleveland in
the White House. found itself in pos
session Of both branches Of congress
as well as of the executive power, has
that party been 81 fully entrusted with
responsibility as 1t will be on and after
March 1. 1913.
The election brought to the fore
many new men in the Democratic
ranks. OF course many Of the old
standbys and supporters of the party.

How toKeep Young and Pretty
by GABY DEsLYs.
The Art of Resting

The other day one OF your public speak
ers, very prominent woman, stated that
the only thing necessary TO beauty was
plenty OF rest.
As she was talking to girls who earn
their own living and consequently have
little or no time to rest during the day. IL
seemed rather foolish advice, but when /
caught glimpse OF the speaker I was
truly very astonished, for she does not
look as II she even understood the mean
Ing OF the word.
This woman is very rich, consequently
she does not have to worry about money
matters. The chase for the silver dollar
Is very restless occupation, and II 1t is
long continued II leaves It's mark on every
face. no matter how much massage you
use TO erase the lines. The lecturer on
rest has a face scanned and lined and
such unquiet eyes, such reposeless body.
She is not young, but in all her years
she has not mastered the art OF resting or
even of looking restful-yet she lectures
on rest-and she is right.
Without plenty OF rest you can't be
beautiful or retain your youthful looks
very long. She has not done so.
Many people never rest excepting dur
ing their hours of sleep. / think being
too Nvaolous is as exhausting to others
as II Is to ones self, and the fascinating
person varies being vivacious and quiet
by turns.
American girls are usually vlvacious.
They make great to-do about every lit
tie thing. Then as they grow older they
grow fatigued and have less enthusiasm.
They settle down more and look either
bored or tired. unless they become inter-
ested In public things, and then they as

WIRELESS PHONE COMING

Wireless telegraph messages have been
sent for a distance of 5000 miles, from
San Francisco to Japan, and a telephone
message without the use of wires has
been carried $40 miles. Inventors assert
that the day Is not distant when II will
be possible for a woman returning from
the opera in Paris to speak TO hubby in
his club in New York and remind him
of the fact that It is time to go home,
and that she does not think so much OF
his friend, that horrid Mr.. So-and-S So,
anyway-and, oh, yes-send some more
money.
From the toy stage TO commercial in
strument, the advance in the wireless
field has been rapid. Nowadays no trav-
eler thinks of taking passage on YES
sci that is not equipped with wireless
apparatus, and there are hundreds Of in
stances Of rescues at sea due to the ef-
ficiency of the system. on the ocean
passenger steamers newspapers are pub
lished daily, giving the events Of the
world, carried faithfully through space.
The atmosphere is networked with lines
OF ether, and it is along these that the
electric impulses are propelled, At first
a powerful and very noisy current was
used, but In the case of the telephone
the current is weaker.
The action on the ether is described as
much the same as a man dropping a
stone in a pond, which sets up a series
Of ripples in ever widening circles and
constantly diminishing force, as com
pared with the constant dropping OF
grains OF sand In the same pool. with the
result that a steady movement Of r.pples,
one following the other in rapid success
sion, maintains the force TO the desired
point
They so out IN all directions alike. The
effort of the wireless expert is directed
toward driving the Impulses IN a given
direction and providing instruments that
will record the impulses at a given point
Variations In the time or systematic
beat Of the impulses are reduced TO
sound, and the telegraph instrument Is
utilized. BY reducing the vibrations Of
the voice TO an electric current which
corresponds 10 the vibrations and i'm
pelling them horizontally along the lines
Of ether-pickng them up at the other
end, and converting the current against
the sound waves, the human voice is
reproduced.

1t seems curious to think of the long
cons in which man has been evolving
from lower forms of life to higher, and
Of his inealculable power and abilities
which he has left dormant, just by lack
ing the will power to bring them into
play.
Therefore the world is overrun by
failures in health, happiness and en-
deavor.
a literary man who was delicate and
slight of build once decided to saw twenty
cords Of wood.
Before he had cut through one log he
was exhausted, and his friends INDUCED
in jibes and jests at his expense.
But despite this Cor perhaps because of
it,. he kept at his allotted task.
After few days he found he did not
become so quickly exhausted and that he
was feeling stronger in his chest and
arms.
BY the time his task was finished he
experienced such benefit that he resolved
TO take up some physical exercise calling
forth the same amount of energy and use
OF time every day.
Although a middle aged man, he in
creased his chest measure two and five
using one hour a day at gymnasium
work.
Besides enjoying good health for the
first time in years and finding his mental
powers greatly increased
Nothing truer was ever written than
William Blaikes words on this subject
Of the need Of regular systematic physi-
cal exercise in our schools:
Physical education should be made
compulsory in every school in the land.
Is it not as important TO possess good
health as to figure correctly?
Look at the next ten children you
meet and say II three Of them are well
built, strong and hearty: clear-skinned,
lustrous-eyed, quick and sure of move
ment; rich with life and vigor: and in
every way satisfying in build and action.
You would not buy a horse that did not
embody these qualities. Is not your child
almost as important as your horse? And
there are many special classes. You will
find them in every school room I'm Amer

arms, slim necks, with every chest cham

him that he could never do brain work

some light employment, as a clerk or
