LOUIS D. BRAkDEiS, BOS.
TON:

Governor Wilson's speech OF
acceptance is the utterance OF
a twentieth century statesman;
with keen perception he recos-
ntzes the evils from which the
people are suffering and the dan
gers which threaten our well
fare; with broad visien he points
the way by which these evils
may be removed and the dan
gers averted; he proves his un-
derstanding alike OF business
and OF social needs and that he
is q Democrat, IN fact. as we'll
as In name. and his courage Is
undoubted. Progressive AmerL
cans have in him worthy lead
er."

Governor Wilson's speech fits
the occasion and the man: pro-
gressive but not wild, sane,
strong and Enthusiastically Demo
cratic. Ii makes an inspiring
opening of the campaign, indi-
eating clearly and nobly the
spirit in which the leaders OF
our regenerated Democratic
party must work; not one OF
mere partisan makebelieve,
but of honesty and justice to-
ward all men"

JOHN w. KERN, SENATOR,
INDIANA:
Governor Wilson's speech of
acceptance is a masterpiece,

also appeals strongly to every
legitimate business interest"

JOHN E. LAMB. EX-REPRE-
SENTATIVE FROM INDIANA:
Speech is discreet. able. safe
and sane. Governor Wilson be-
lieves In the efficacy OF the seal
pei rather than the big stick.
His dissection OF trust and tar
IN evils is unique and convinc-
ing. His suggestions OF reform
IN methods OF government and

will meet with approval Of
legitimate business and the la
boring masses as well"

Protect the Snake,

Accentuating the idea in an editorial
in The Sunday Star that birds should
be protected as they are the farmers
friends, and their destruction would be
followed by the destruction of the hu.
man race, comes the suggestion
that snakes should also be protect.
ed. This from the Record-Herald is
instructive:
Legislation to protect snakes that
are harmless to man and destructive
to rats, mice and other creatures OBJ.
noxious to farmers is being sought
in several states, according to Prof
H. D. Bailey of Muhlenberg college, a
Pennsylvania institution. In a recent
lecture Prof. Bailey pronounced the
king snakes, the milk snakes, the
butte, the corn, fox and indigo snakes
all valuable allies of the farmer and
commended efforts to increase the
number of bull snakes, which, though
large, are harmless and abound In
some western states.
AS mans knowledge of nature in.
creases, he finds many creatures useful
or harmless to his interests, and he
should act accordingly. Many snakes
are benefactors of man, according to
authorities, and once the instructive
dread of them disappears through
knowledge and familiarity there is
nothing Objectionable in their pres.
ence.-Kansas City Star.

Gold Nugget Punctures Tire.

A puncture in your automobile tire
isn't always misfortune. At least
Joseph Kneebone doesn't think SO, and
he will never kick again when blow
out delays him on the road. The rea-
son for Mr.. Kneebone's philosophy
may be explained in the fact that
while driving to Grass Valley, New,
a day or two ago, with the thermome-
ter at 30 degrees, he suddenly heard
a report which caused him to lose his
temper.
Getting down from the seat he look
ed upon the spectacle of punctured
tire, and proceeded to fix it. During
the course of his labors he had occa-
sion to stop near the little stream OF
water that was close by, and which is
inappropriately named Dry creek. His
eyes were caught by sudden CLINT be-
tween the rocks, and STOPPING over
he picked up gold nugget that proved
to be worth $40. The nugget exactly
fitted the cut in the tire, and had
caused the puncture,

To wash the child's blue duck suit,
shake it free of all outer dust, then
dip it in cold water containing ox-gall
in proportion of tablespoonful to q
gallon of water. Let the garment get
almost dry, drying it in the shade;
then wash it quickly in tepid water,
using borax soap, or If you have moi

wherever necessary to remove the

Mysterious Cave pwelIers,

The sentiment that accompanies the
common desire for the preservation of
historical relics of the American In
dians, who are fast passing away or
being merged into the civilization of a
new century, is now being manifested
In reference to the preservation of the
home Of the cliff-dwelling Indians,
whose history is as mysterious and un-
recorded as that OF the lost tribes of
Israel. Various theories have been
propounded regarding the cliff dwell
ers. Legends have 1t that they are the
descendants of Montezuma. The popu-
lar theory is that the Indians began by
living in caves, the homes that nature
had provided, and then, with the
natural ingenuity of man, proceeded to
excavate caves high up in the side of
the cliffs, where they might be safe
guarded from attacks and where their
supremacy would go unchallenged.
Americans know very little of the his
tory of the cliff dwellers or of the
place where they formerly lived. If
the Indians know, they do not tell

saImy Days In Montana.

Bishop N. Luccock, recently named
at the general conference of the Meth.
odist Episcopal church at Minneapolis,
Mimi, will make his home in Helena,
Mont, and have charge of conferences
in Montana, Idaho and the two Da.
kotas. Meeting a citizen from Mon.
tana the bishop, who will have much
travelling to do, asked:
How is it out there in winter?"
ooh, it gets a little chilly. In fact,
quite biting along in the early morn
ing" explained the man, "but by noon
1t warns up-moderates consider
ably.
"Ah, I see," smiled the bishop.
"Yep," explained the Montana man
in all seriousness, you may find it
SO degrees below zero when you get
up in the morning. and by noon it will
have moderated until the thermome-
ter may show only 80 below"
"The afternoons Of such balmy
days." suggested Bishop Luccock, "are
given over to gardening?"-Kansas

NOT ALWAYS SOLEMN
come CHEERFUL MOMENTS IN
LIFE OF UNDERTAKEN.
Profession Not as Grewsome as an
Outsider Might Naturally Imagine
Why Customer Counter
manded Order for Casket.

"Ours is solemn business" said
an undertaken, land yet there hap
pens in 1t something over which all
concerned can reasonably be cheer
tul.
1.-THE grewsome old time coffin has
now been all but supplanted in use by
the modern burial casket, which in de-
sign and finish is as far from comm
like in appearance as 1t is possible
to make it, and which is also made in
very great variety as to the materials
used and styles of finish and cost.
1T is not uncommon now for per-
sons in health to indicate the sort of
casket in which they desire to be
buried when their time shall come,
and sometimes such person may Sc
Iect and buy casket to be held for
him. 1t is out of these modern changes
In our mortuary customs that we get
the occasional cheerful note of which
spoke.
Some years ago there came to us
to order casket members of a family
whose head was then, as supposed,
mortally Ill; that he must die appear
ed beyond a doubt; and 1t was desir-
able to make preparations for this
event in advance because the casket
required was of unusual size, and it
was also desired that 1t should be elab-
orate in construction and finish. We
had the casket ready in time, but
when the casket was ready the man
began to improve in condition and he
continued to improve; and in the
course of time he recovered his health
and strength completely.
Then there was the family with
hat casket on hand, of which he had
40 knowledge whatever, and they
came to us to dispose of it, which of
course we readily agreed to do. 1t was
costly casket, though that was no
lmpediment to its sale, for we make
and sell many beautiful and costly
easkets; but its unusual size was
against it, and it was some time be-
'ore we finally disposed of it, which
we did at considerably below its first
cost. But this was loss which the
original purchasers were very glad to
sustain.
1--WE once had a customer who had
lost his wife and who came to us to
bury her, which we did. After the
funeral he came back to us. He had
selected the casket in which his wife
was buried and now he bought one
Just like 1t for himself. He was a
man in health, with no prospect of
death, so far as that was concerned,
but he was greatly grieved and cast
down over the death of his wife, and
when he should die he wanted to be
buried in a casket just like that in
which we had buried her. So he
bought this casket and We held 1t for
him.
Something more than year after
he met another woman with whom he
fell in love and whom he married; and
after that We got letter from him,
saying:
"'Sell my casket. I've no use for
it now"

Health Plum Pudding.

Two cups best graham flour, sifted
and then measured. Mix with half a
teaspoon of salt, one-half teaspoon of
soda and one teaspoon of baking pow
der, one cup of nuts (either almonds,
English walnuts or pecans), cup of
raisins, cup of milk and one-half cup
Of molasses. Wash, seed and dry the
raisins and flour them lightly. Slice
Or chop the nuts fine, then add mo-
lasses and milk to the flour; mix well
and quickly; add raisins and nuts;
mix thoroughly again. Butter pud-
ding mold, turn in the batter and
boil three hours. Serve with lemon

Mourning CoIofs.

when people who write for fashion
publication" says a Vienna letter,
have nothing more to say about
queer-shaped hats, grotesque skirts
and other equally important matters,
they tell us that black is going out and
white is to be the mourning color-if
white may be so termed. This fashion
news item may be looked for several
times year, but black, sombre black,
still maintains it's place. The band on
the sleeve has done much to save
money for those who still wish to wear
a badge of mourning, but the sleeve
band will never be white. The greater
display of mourning is made with sta
tionery, the size of the cards and the
depth OF the black borders indicating
what? There will be real mourning
among the stationers when one may
announce the death of beloved one
or tell of his good qualities on paper
which is pure white"

WHEN LIFE NEARS ITS CLOSE
Physical Changes That ParaIyze, In
Varying Degree, the Mind and
Limbs of tire Aged.

One of the chief tragedies of oncom
ing age is the increasing fficulty In
moving about and IA grasping new
ideas. Limbs and wits both become
less nimble and agile
1t has now been discovered to what
this condition is due. Certain sub
stances separate Themselves from the
gray matter of the brain and cause a
thickening in the cells of that part OF
the brain lying under the frontal bone,
forming a gland-like body, which
scientists call plaques" These
plaques" are ray-shaped kernels,
more or less irregular in form and fire.
quently assuming the shape OF crys-
tails.
Just what substances cause the
growth of plaques" by segregation
from the brain matter, scientists do
not know. But they do know that
these substances are the substances
which make for nimbleness, quick
ness, ease of thought and movement.
The favorite place of the plaque, the
front portion of the brain, is also the
part of the brain which becomes dis
eased, in cases of paralysis, so that
some biological analogy exists be-
tween difficulty of movement and
speech and impossibility of movement
and speech.
The plaques" are found chiefly in
the rind of the brain. Very rarely
they attack the spinal column. If
present in minute numbers. the per-
son attacked shows only the milder
symptoms of old age, slowness OF
movement, fatigue, inability to under
stand quickly. II presented in large
numbers, senile dementia, one of the
most horrible conditions into which
the human body lapse, occurs.
They attack the intellectual and the
dull-witted people alike in old age
for some of the brightest minds be-
come afflicted with dullness and ap.
parent stupidity, even to senile de.
mentia in some instances. On the
other hand, people who have always
| been dull-witted, even illiterate, are
afflicted in like manner, so it can.
not be claimed the affliction is due to
an overworked brain.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-08-10
Paper Clothing.

The latest idea is clothing made of
paper. A representative of a large
English firm of paper manufacturers
states that they are at the present
moment experimenting in the hope of
producing a kind of paper really suit
able for the making of clothes which
can be sewn and hold buttons. PA
per towels are an excellent idea-these
are made in Germany" he said. Pa
per hats have been a fashion for
some time. Instead OF wearing wash
able cotton sun bonnets and caps,
children can have each day a new pa
per hat costing from two cents to
twelve cents. which takes one item off
the washing bill. Paper shirts are
being produced at 10 cents apiece.
while the cost Of paper handker-
chief is two cents-the price of the
washing of a linen one. In the house
hold, too. the washing bill can be
largely reduced by using paper in
stead Of linen, for now there are paper
blinds-lace edged-paper serviettes,
paper toilette mats. paper doilies. pa
per table covers, while paper toweling
could be adapted to kitchen use for
tea cloths, busters and similar arti-
cles.

ADORNMENTS FOR THE TABLE
Cloths, Luncheon Sets and Doilies
Should All Be of the Finest
Possible Materials.

The tablecloth is becoming a thing
Of rare beauty and some of the new
ones are lovely enough, with their
wealth of lace and hand embroidery
to be used for lingerie gown.
For the round table the linen covers
only the top, a. 14-iHch border of cluny
lace hanging below. This same lace
Is inserted in the center of the cloth
and takes the place of the usual CEN
ter-piece.
For the luncheon set color IS being
introduced. Daisies embroidered in
natural tints upon heavy Irish linen
give a charming new touch. These,
as a rule, include a large centerpiece
and dozen doilies.
The petals of the flowers are done
with very thick, fluffy floss and the
embroidery can be finished in very
short time.
Other pretty luncheon sets are made
Of finer linen, the doilies being cut In
squares instead of round, while the
new punch work and very little fine
French embroidery are introduced.
For breakfast the table linen is
much palmer, and these sets include
the cloth and a dozen small napkins.
-Damask embroidered in quaint little
flower designs in color are very attrac-
tive, while others are of linen crash
embroidered in cross-stitch.
All of these are rather expensive
when bought in the shops, but the
housewife who has several idle hours
during the day can with but slight
expense and little trouble give her Ia
BILE linen a distinctive air.
