Why Didn't He :?

When Roosevelt was Presi-
dent, he had both branches of
Congress with him. and he was
as near the whole show as il is
possible for any man in this
country to be.
The Republicans whom he is
now describing as dishonest
and unreliable were his near
friends, advisers and mainstays.
They are the same men whom
he trusted six years ago. They
have not changed their char
acters nor their party. They
helped Roosevelt to run the
government just as he wanted
it run. Mr.. Taft was the finest
man that the Lord ever made.
and Senator Root was the
greatest man the Lord ever
made. And they were helping
Roosevelt TO make the biggest
failure that such a hair brain
ed. unreliable individual as
Roosevelt was capable of max
ing as President of the United
States. He is now telling the
people what he is GOING To
DO if elected. The people have
not forgotten that he had seven
years in the Presidential chair
with all the opportunity to do
the things that he now says he
is going to do. Stuff Roose-

Paint Now

If your property needs it; don't wait
for the price to come-down.
There are two parts of a job; the
paint and the work. the work is more
than the paint: and it never comes-down
The cost of paint is about two-fifths;
the work three-fifths.
Paint is up S. an average job, and
won't come-down in hurry: too many
jobs put-of.
Men are waiting for So or SO: they
don't know il; they think they are wait
ing for $50 or s25.

HOME MASSAGE TREATMENT
Method by Which the Busy Woman
May Keep Herself in Good Phys
icaI Condition.

In an article in the Woman's Home
Companion on Massage, appears the
following:
Even a woman who has but little
time to devote to it may have a good
complexion and not get sallow and
wrinkled. These exercises, planned
originally for the business woman, are
equally good for the tired housemoth-
er.
Here is what you need: Plenty of
soft water; one pound Of finely ground
oatmeal from the grocer; a bottle of
almond oil, or jar of good cold
cream; a packet of fuiler's earth for
face powder; a cup of boiling milk
every night.
Pour half or a quarter of the cup Of
boiling milk into the washbasin, and
quickly with your hands rub the milk
all over your face several times. Rub
1t well in; wash in 1t, little as 1t is. /
still declare, after many years, that
there is nothing in the world SO re-
freshing and soothing after a hard
days work as this. The milk in the
basin is black? Yes, 1t always is. 1t
cleanses the skin thoroughly. Now
sip the rest of the cupful of milk very
slowly. Nothing like hot milk for
overtired, strained nerves.
Remove bolster and pillow from
the bed; lie down absolutely fiat on
your back for at least five minutes,
arms extended, feet extended; draw
several deep signing breaths, release
them very slowly, relax every muscle
in your body. Then moisten finger
tips with cold cream or almond oil,
and for ten minutes or a quarter of
an hour, still lying down, very, very
lightly do the simple exercises, and do
not forget, whatever you do, that hard
pressure will ruin any skin, by
stretching it. Then, with a soft rag.
wipe off the superfluous oil. In the
morning take some oatmeal in the
palm of the left hand, mix a little hot
water with it to form a paste, and
rub 1t we'll over the face. Rinse 1t off
and dry your face with a soft towel.
using the three exercises. If your
skin is shiny, dust over lightly with
cotton wool dipped in fuller's earth.
These exercises must be done regular
ly every evening.
Beauty points: Paint is dirt on
the face, and means dirt on the mind.
Get good sleep before twelve o'clock
at night. Fresh air means a fresh
skin; sleep with your bedroom win

Black ChIntzes.

With the black painted English fur
niture, which is again somewhat in
favor for American houses, there In
being used the background chintzes
and cretonnes, on which the same
garlands, flower baskets. festoons and
medallions that decorate the furniture
are profusely scattered.
Other hangings which are used with
the painted furniture are those
printed linens which should have light
backgrounds. says the New York Her
aid, and SO remove the objection that
some may find to the background
chintzes.
The old designs may be matched ex-

Valuable Information.

Silks have been 80 fashionable this
summer that hint on their preserva-
tion will not come amiss. When they
are put away they should not be fold
ed in white paper. for the chloride of
lime used in bleaching the paper is
apt to spoil the color of the silk.

The Odds AGAINST Him,

The noise of the opening Of the
door and the thrush of cold air that
followed awoke Enid Maitland to in
slant action. She rose to her feet and
faced the entrance through which she
expected Newbold to reappear-for of
course the newcomer must be he

help that radiating flash OF Joy, the
momentary anticipation Of which fair

she had stopped to reflect she would

time without knocking and receiving
permission.

lovely face when she tardily recog-
nized the newcomer in the half light.
Armstrong. scarcely waiting to close
the door. sprang forward joyfully with
