A Hollowe'en Table.

A Hollowe'cn Table.
The center Of attraction at most
parties Is the table and i have never
seen anything carried out more in the
spirit Of the occasion than this
scheme. which was much talked
about as being the best ever'' by
those who saw 1t last year. The center.
piece was an enormous pumpkin with
q row Of candles in the top. where It
had been cut almost in half to form
a basket with a cleverly cut handle
which was twined with vines. II
contained a bunch Of grapes for each
person. to which was tied a favor
symbolic OF the guests future life,
a literary career. thimble for spin
ster. a button for a bachelor, etc.
Over the table. mingled with ferns,
leaves and vines were spiders. toads.
glittering silver snakes. owls. cats and
quaint brownie figures. These objects
were really a great attraction as the
candle light shone upon them. Just
try the decorative possibilities In
squash. cucumbers. gourds. carrots
and pumpkins. They make fine candle
sticks and lanterns.
When all were seated. the hostess
passed small silk bags containing
white beans. These We're laid out
ana ones fortune told by the fol-
lowing nursery rhyme. using the
beans instead Of buttons. Your fortune
will be:
Rich man. Poor man. beggar man,
thief.
Doctor. lawyer merchant. chief"
"Rich girl. poor girl. bessar girl.
cook, j
School girl. cash girl. servant. COOK,
For the wedding the time will be
This year. next year. some time. no
time.
And the house will be q:
Big house. little house. hotel; barn.
The great surprise Of the guests,
the first course consisted Of green
peas In little bowls. which were eaten
with butter. salt and pepper. In one
bowl was a large bean. signifying that
the n finding it would be the first
to marry. This Is an English custom
and is called "scaddinE the peas" It
Is a quaint doing still kept up in the
north Of England.
Before leaving the table each one
received hve bay leaves to be pinned
on the four corners Of the pillow.
with one in the center, each one to
the name Of the opposite sex.
the one dreamed of would. OF course.
be the future mate through life.
These bay leaves the hostess had
brought from Florida. pressing them
in a heavy book an dkeeping in a cool
place. Next. every one had to eat a
round rosy snow apple and keep the
seeds. which were snapped between
the thumb and forefinser. the direc-
ton in which they few being u o
posed to tell in which direction ones

following Jingle was repeated:

Gum Chewing is UscfuI

Gum Chewing is Useful.
ordinarily the use Of chewing gum
ts considered rather illbred and is
frowned upon by those who have
charge OF the training Of children.
When the habit is INDUCED in on the
street or In company it certainly is
disgusting. However. 1t has been
found that the tabooed gum is very
useful in certain conditions.
When the typhoid fever patient
commences to gain he is ravenously
hungry. but is allowed only a scant
diet. The long days seem endless,
with nothing to do but count the
stripes on the nurses dress or the
spots or squares OF the counterpart.
Gum has been found to be an allow
able solace. Also it is beneficial to the
patient, for 1t stimulates the fiow Of
the digestive %secretions. which have
become deficient. Not only this. but
the movement Of the tongue tends to

Of a brown deposit, called sordes, on
the teeth and tongue. Chewing gum
lessons this deposit. This ideal was
advanced by DR.. Young when he was
superintendent Of the marine hospi.
ltal.
|. Gum may be given to children who
are confined with other diseases, as
scarlet fever. measles and diphtheria.
Needless to say, a fresh piece should
be supplied every time. and the pa.
tient should not be allowed to chew
1t too long at a time. 1t Is strange that
gun is not used more commonly dur
Ing illness. especially of children. for
the gum serves to relieve the weari.
someness of the long hours Of conva.
%lescence.
Recently gum chewing has been adj
vocated for an entirely different con.
dition. Some children have a habit Of
biting their nails. a habit which 1t
seems very difficult to break. The APP
plication Of red pepper, quinine, quas-
lsia. or other bitter remedies some
times fails to have the desired effect.
The treatment requires great perse-
verance and is complicated further
by the fact that the child usually Is
Of an extremely nervous disposition.
Some authors have advocated lid an
plication Of a device which holds the
teeth slightly apart and, therefore.
makes chewing difficult. This has
several disadvantages, as 1t frequently
increases the nervousness Of the child
and may help to cause mouth BREATH
ing. Some bright individual conceived
the idea Of supplying these children
with gum and It was found that they
ceased to bite their nails. It also had
the beneficial effect of. increasing the
secretion Of the digestive Juices,
which sometimes are deficient in ner-
vous. poorly nourished children.
Many people have found that the
habit Of chewing gum for a few mo-
ments after meals has caused their in.
digestion to vanish.-Dr. Edith B.
Lowry.

Subscriptions

AS an incentive to the candidates in the Times
Herald circulation campaign, we have decided to offer
a special inducernent for NEW subscribers in the way
OF extra votes. This offer starts today and closes
November 9th, at 10 D. M.
We will give to each and every candidate that
sends S2o.W worth of NEW subscriptions to this de-
part1ment on or before the 9th of November, $4,000
extra votes, besides the regular votes issued on the
various payments.
1t is not necessary to send the entire amount at
one time. Send the subscriptions in as fast as YOU
secure them. We will keep an accurate account of all
new subscriptions you send and after the offer is over.
we will issue the extra ballot. and forward same to
those contestants that earn one.
The regular ballots to cover the various s,1bscrib-
ton payments will be made out at once as in the past
and forwarded to the contestant as in the past.
The larger the amount of NEW subscription
payments you send in during this period, the larger
your extra ballot will be. In other words, anv propor-
ton over and above the $25. 90 in NEW subscriptions
you send will entitle you to the proper proportion of
another 5000 extra ballot.
This is positively the best offer or inducen1ent
tndt Will DC mace during the campaign, so do not
hold back your subscriptions with the belief that we
will offer better inducements later in the CAMPAIGN.
HIS IS POSITIVELY THE BEST OFFER Or
INDICTMENT FOR NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS

we'll to state that old subscription payments will never
count for more votes than they do now.

subscriptions placed to your credit in the paper in or
der to receive credit on the special offer.
This offer is for NEW subscriptions. Anv one
who was not taking the Herald September Both. 1912.
will be considered a new subscriber. Any one who
was not taking the Times September Both, 1912, will
be considered a NEW subscription. Changing a Her.
aid reader to a Times reader or vice versa will not CON-
stitute a NEW subscription. However, if a person
was taking the Times, September Both, and now de- |
sires to take the Herald also, the subscription to the |
Herald will be considered NEW providing the Times +
is paid at least three months in advance. The same |
rule applies vice versa.

TARIFF TO Be MAIN ISSUE

Seagirt. N. j., July Gov.
Woodrow Wilson and Senator -elest
Ollie James of Kentucky decided,
this afternoon, to have the Governor
formally notified Of his nomination
on the lawn of New jerseys little
white house, here, ON the afternoon
OF August T.
James had talk with the nemi-
nee during which he was requested
to name as late date as possible
to afford Gov. Wilson an opportuR-
ity to catch up with his correspond
ence, now SOME 10000 letters and
kilograms behind.
The Governor speech will sound
the keyaote Of the campaign, James
declared.
Gov. Wilson let it be known to-
day, that he would deal with the
high cost of living and the tariff,
which he regards as the leadhg is
sues, clearly and fully. He wtlle idtr
cinde reference to other planks Of
the platform also4 Untf1 that .hne,
howev&, he will have little to say
IN reply to criticisms in the .ilEA-
form by Theodore Roosevelt or AiT-
one else. His speech OF acceptance,
which he will shortly begin to dAaft,
wal be- his first public comment
upon the party platform
Talks of Living Cost.
Every attempt te induce the Gov
erner to take issues with any critics
so far has failed He, today, dis
cNssed the high cost of living as an
issue with the taMff at the heart of
it, but declined to comment on
RooseveN's utterances.
James told Wilson that he had
talked with Champ Clark and that
the Speaker was strong for WNson.
"There Is no doubt as to Clark s
loyalty to this ticket" ,kames said,
NOR as to the loyalty OF any other
defeated candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination. No Democrats
are sulking in their tents this year. y
The Goyernsr was greetly amused
when told that James 'had a kttle
secret to tell him on August T."
