The fire of the Get Roosevelt committee of the Senate has been centered upon the campaign Of 1so4 That has been necessary The colonel ran for President then and in no other year before 1912.
 But 1904 happens to have been the year when the Republican na- uonaI campaign really needed no large contributions. Much money was used for legitimate expenses, but very little was actually requir- ed. Roosevelt might have been elected without money. He could not have been beaten iG no organiz- ed campaign had been conducted la his behalf
 Tho Republican managers did not know, in 1904, how easy their party's triumph was going Co be The candidate himself did not know. The extent ot the Roosevelt victory was not foresceu by political ex- perts. It was not expected that the Republican ticket would have the largest majority ever given m a Presidential election
 But as it turned out, there was really no need or even the most or dnary campaign work. The lack Of 1t could not have made any ma teriI difference in Ohio. for in- stance. where the Roosevelt plural ity was 255,42I, or in Illinois, where it rose to 3o5,O39.

 In that record year the Republi- can ticket did not need the electoral vote of any state which was car. ried by narrow margin.

Boston Traveller: The effects of a warm bath are nearly the exact reverse ot those brought about by the cold bath. The surface vessels are relaxed by the contact of the warm water and an immediate flow Of blood to the surface results.
 From the point of view Of clean Illness, frequent bathing of the whole body is absolutely necessary. There is nothing which can take its place, though change of undercloth- ing is almost equally important. By washing and scrubbing alone can the skin be freed from the waste ma ter which is always exuding from the glands, and from the scales Of dead skin which are constantly be- ing cast off. If these are allowed to accumulate and remain on the skin every kind of disease germ may be harbored
 Washing and friction have also another use in exciting the glands to free action and enabling them to get rid of clogging particles of dust and dirt. Even a man who has cold bath daily should have a warm one once week.

tons Of American sympathlzers at the

AID FOR U. p. STATION.
Enlargement of Chatham Farm Like
Iy 10 be Urqed.


II is extremely probable that one OF
the matters TO be taken up by the Up
per Peninsula Development Bureau AT
its meeting mt Marquette Tuesday, will
lie the question of passing resolutions
asking the state board of agriculture
10 increase the appropriation for the
state experimental station at Chatham
and enlarge the scope of it's work so
that il may be of some practical aid
in both the settling or the upper pen
insula and also i'm educating the farm
ers already located north OF the straits.
In the past the efficiency of the sta
ton has been greatly hampered by a
lack of funds This has been due to
the strong opposition 20 the station OF
President Snyder or the NJ. A. G. Mr..
Snpder desires to have the entire agri-
cultural educational work I'm Michigan
Immediately under his direction AT
Lansing and he has persistently work
ed to have the Chatham station aban-
doned.
II is believed that the agricultural
board as whole is not entirely IA
millar with what Supt. Geismar has
accomplished with the small means at
his command and the matter will be
brought up I'm the bureau meeting so
that the men interested i'm the devel-
opment of the upper peninsula can
take formal action to call to the at
tention of the board the exact state or
affairs and the desire Of the people
north of the straits for an enlargement
of the activities of the station.
The demand will be based largely
or the fact that under the new state
valuation the income of the agricul-
tural board has been increased by
about $4,000 a year.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Pres. Charles w
Murphy of the Chicago National Lea
que club, following up the suggestion
o. Barney Dreyfuss. of the Pittsburg
club, that a prohibition clause be put
n ball players contracts, said last
night that he would like TO see the big
leaguers prevented from engaging in
the saloon business
He said that he proposes introduce
ing a rule at the next National league
meeting which will prohibit ball play
ers from purchasing or holding inter-
ests in buffets or establishments of
any like nature.
Murphy did not attempt to ex-
plain how such a rule could be placed
in effect, but argued that some stand
should be taken against players en-
gaging IN the business.
