SCENT AS AN INSOMNIA CURE
Pine Needles and Rose Leaves in Pill
low Are Declared to Be Excel
lent Soporifics.

Scent has other attractions than a
mere appeal to the nose, London An
swers states. Anybody, for instance,
who suffers from insomnia may find
relief in perfumes.
Collect a number of fresh pine
needles and fill bag with them !;
carefully rip open your pillow and
place sthe bag amidst the feathers
in the pillow. The perfume of the
pines is often an excellent soporifc.
A bag of dried hops used in the
same way is just as good. Dried
rose leaves, mixed with dried clover
heads, give out a delicious perfume
and helps a weary one to WOO the
god of sleep.
A teaspoonful of eau de cologne
in warm bath is most refreshing,
while scent placed on the forehead
of anyone who is suffering from
headache generally gives relief.

S PROBLEM FOR SCIENTISTS
VIII Have Hard Work to Prove a pI.
vision Between Animate and
Inanlmate Nature.

We refuse to be ierked from the
easy and virtuous tenor of our lives
by the news that Professor Schaefer
can produce life artifcially. Was it
not Sydney Smith who explained
Coleridge's great work on metaphys-
les on the theory that it was "onlv
his fun?" Possibly the learned
Schaefer is amusing himself, and
certainly he is amusing us, for we
have heard this story before. Be-
fore any substance can be said to
have been artifcially endowed with
life it must be proved-not merely
asserted-that it did not already
possess life, and as no one knows
what life is the proof would be hard.
But the professor "gave the show
away" when he admitted that "the
line between living and lifeless OBJ
jects is growing less and less sharp
as science penetrates into the heart
Of things" 1t may eventually be
demonstrated that there is no such
line, sharp or otherwise, except in
the mind of the scientist, and that
there is, in fact, no division between
animate and inanimate nature. Sci
ence might save itself much specu-
lative trouble by postulating a the
DRY that life and matter are insep-
arabic, that matter in its every form
contains some elusive property which
causes the cohesion of its parts and
which is indistinguishable from the
life OF an organism.-San Francisco
Argonaut.

 Senator Bankhead was here this evening Underwood headquarters will be opened at the St James tomorrow.
 Very few delegates are upon the scene yet. but several congressman were over from Washington today and there was much Underwood talk. In- deed the undercurrent of talk indicates that there is a fear on the part of other candidates that Now York and Connecticut will go to Underwood on the second ballot.
 But 1t is too early yet to indulge in predictions. Underwood's friends are anxious that Alabama shall send up a big delegation of active workers to reach here Monday.

 NOT ENCOURAGED Alabama Roosevelt Crowd Has Bad Case of "Blues"-Each Side Sees Little Hope of Reaching

By CLYDE W. ENNIS

Chicago, June 19.-(Speeial)-At no time here has the dark horse appeared more certain than tonight. The certainty of such a solution of the republican mud de seems more logical after todays fes- tivities.
 While the two combating forces refuse to allow the dark horse idea to emanate from them, yet there seems to be no way around that proposition at this time. Hadley of Missouri. the Roosevelt floor leader Is being boomed as the dark horse He was cheered 40 minutes this after noon on his brilliant tactics. The colonel said he was very much pleased over the reception. given Hadley.
 The delegates yelled themselves hoarse crying we want Hadley!'' He has been leading the Roosevelt forces with great brilIiancy and is regarded as the logical dark steed'
 Forced to Use Steam Roller
 At the convention today the Taft forces were only able to kill the Hadley motion to purge s5 delegates from the eonven- ton by the steam roller tactics. Such will do in many cases. but 1t is not the general opinion that nomination can be secured in that manner.
 The Hadley motion. If adopted. would clear the convention of many delegates whom trs Roosevelt crowd claim Ehoula not be permitted to act as judges of theil own cases. What looked like a nonina- ton Thursday seems distant. It will per haps be Friday before any 9ote Is taken on the real nomination.
