SPEED OF LIGHT.

Light travels at the astonishing rate
of $4,000 miles a second.
To the layman this seems incredible
and the first question that pops into
his head is how do they go about il to
measure light. There is a delicate in :
strument used i'm measuring light
which throws a beam of light upon a
revolving disk. There was some doubt
about the figures obtained in this way
until il was found that when the earth
was I'm the part of its orbit nearest to
Jupiter eclipses occurred 16 minutes
earlier than when ii was I'm the far
thermost part. whereas by all rules OF
astronomy they should have occurred
at the same minute each time. IL was
deduced from this that the light was
not instantaneous and consequently
took 16 minutes TO trnverse the dame
ter of the earth's orbit distance OF
about 0.oOO.OOo miles. thus giving to
light velocity of $4,000 miles sec
ond. which was actually shown later
by other experiments.

MAKING HOUSEKEEPING EASIER.

Have plain woodwork when It is CIV
on you to choose.
Woodwork finished with good var
nish may be cleaned easily with a
damp cloth.
Have the work table covered with
zinc and save scrubbing.
Varnish the shelves after a coat of
paint. and they will clean as easily
as thing
Keep plenty OF soft paper to wipe
out greasy dishes. pots, and pans, and
save the dish washing.
Keep bundle of newspapers handy
to set soiled and smoky pans on.
A window shade fastened to a set of
open shelves makes a fine curtain to
keep out the dust.
Use mop with large dust-cloth
and save STOPPING In dusting floors.
Plan the meals a week ahead, at
least, aud save unnecessary friction.
The areas of travel in the home
should be covered with rugs; light
ones, easy to dust and clean.
Rubber heels are a great saving of
both floors and nerves; yours and 9TH
ers.
The nervous system pays toll alike
for jarring sights and sounds.
When ironing, place folded rug or
piece of carpet to stand on. The
amount of ease this will give the feet
has only to be tried to be appreciated.
A rug should not extend under the
bed, as this complexities cleaning.
Small rugs are best for bedroom.
one before the dresser, washstand and

Eliminate many of the rocking
chairs from the living room and have

rHReE GOOD PLANks.

Three notable planks in the Repub-

the people probably more than any OF
the others, are those on the tariff and
cost Of living. outlined as follows
Tariff We affirm our belief in a

resources and establishing for our
wage earners the American standard

OF our people out OF employment
The products Of the farm and Of the
mines should receive the same meas
ure Of protection as other products of
American labor,
Import duties should be high enough
while yielding a sufficient revenue. to
protect American industries and
wages. Some OF the existing import
duties are too high and should be re
duced.
Tariff Board. d..-Readjustment is nee
essary from time to time and 10 ac-
complish this correct information is in
dispensible. This information can best
be obtained by an expert commission.
The Republican party has shown by
it's creation Of a tariff board its recog.
milton of this situation.
We condemn the Democratic meth
cd Of legislating on this vitally import
ant subject without careful investiga-
tion.
Cost Of Living-The increased cost
Of living is not due to the protective
tariff system. This is proved by the
similar conditions in countries under
different systems.
The Republican party Will support a
prompt inquiry into the causes Of the
and when the facts are es-
tablished will take steps to remove any
abuses found.
