Health and Beauty

Orangeade is the Parisienne's favor ite summer beverage for her complex ions sake, and she believes strongly also in lemonade to clear the skin and brighten the eyes. In neither does she take much sugar. and she dilutes the lemon juice well with water, taking the orange with less.
 A good substitute for the bracing ocean bath at this time of year may be obtained by rubbing the body down with wet table salt. Afterward this should be sponged off with cold water in which two tablespoonfuls of salt are dissolved. If the treatment is repeat ed every morning the results will be most beneficial to the health.
 Exercise extreme caution in select ing tooth paste, powders or other den- tifrices on the market One of the most universally popular ingredients in dentrif1ces is powdered chalk. It is inexpensive harmless and effective, its chief value being the neutralizing of acids in the mouth. Among the sim pie remedies always at hand none car be recommended more highly than cc be recommended more highly than common salt. A strong solution of sal water is a beneficial mouth wash, anC dry salt placed on the tooth brusI eleanses the teeth. Borax is useful 1T that it tends to remove unpleasant odors from the breath. Dissolve tWc to four ounces of borax in a pint ot hot water and add half teaspoonfu of tincture of myrrh or spirits oI camphor.

LINcoLN,s MopEsrY.

There was no boastful spirit about Abraham Lincoln--no cocksureness as to results. No one can imagine him saying: T am the only compromise, ? or inviting negro delegates from the south to promote his chances in the republican convention at Chicago. and then for the same purpose refusing to legally elected delegates a seat in the progressive party's convention, to win the votes of the whites of the south. Lincoln wasn't shouting We're going to win"-he had no "bully" atmosphere about him. Here is a letter he wrote to friend in Springfield. H., when the politcial outlook was not clear:
 T am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong"
 This is not a very long letter, but it is weighty with character and hon. esty of purpose. It bespeaks a mod esty which is woefully lacking in his modern counterfeit He did not pa- rade his ambition before the people, ol pretend he was their Moses, but his conscience played an open part in al his public life. Being true to con science he had to be true to men. The country does need more men imbuec with the spirit of Lincoln--it doesn't need any more Roosevelts.

THE DEMOCRATIC BID FOR
 LABOR VOTE.

The democratic party, which always enjoys a large labor vote whatever it's policies, has made an extra bid for the support of united labor this year,
 The platform makes many prom ises and among other things pledges the party to create bureau of labor at Washington and to make labor's rep resentative a member of the presi- dents official family by giving him a secretary's portfolio; but it is silent on points where united labor is loud 1t makes no pledges to pass child labor laws, for that would be a blow at the solid south where child labor in the cotton mills helps on the produc- tion of cheap goods for northern mar kets.
 It is said that when the American Federation of Labor was meeting in Atlanta, Hoke Smith, now senator from Georgia, poured out his panegy- gyrics within hearing of the busy hum of these cotton mills where little chil- dren were toiling long hours under miserable conditions for a pittance. And the painful knowledge of this dulled all ears to MT. Smiths fervent concern for labor.
 "So it will be. we imagine" says the Omaha Bee. when democracy comes to make a sham fight, ignoring these poor little serfs in the cotton mills of the south, whose case constitutes one of the vital elements of the labor prob lem of today"

A CANDIDATE FOR LIEUTENANT
 GOVERNOR.

Mayor Tingier of Rockville figures tamong those named for a running mate Hswith Governor Baldwin by the demo- crats.
 This is an honor which belongs to Ian eastern Connecticut man, and all 'though The Bulletin is of a different |, political faith. it would like to see him ' get the honor, because The Journal of that town says; He measures up ito the standard for this position"
 The Journal says further: There sis no mistaking the fact that he would make a most efficient and dignified presiding officer of the state senate in case democracy was successful this fall
 Everywhere the mayors name is mentioned in connection with the nomination, it is received with marked enthusiasm. Rockville's mayor is rec ognized as among democracy's strong est and ablest men. He served as dem- ocratic leader of the last house, fill ing the position with ability. He has served the town of Vernon in the house for two terms Last December he was elected mayor of Rockville for a two-year term"

THE HIeH COST oF LIVING.

If the tariff is the cause of the high cost of living. how is it that free trade England is not immune from this distress?
 When called upon by a deputation from the Associated Chambers of Commerce recently, Mir. Asquith. the prime minister, produced an official document, which showed that the cost of food and drink in Britain, while about 12 per cent. higher than it was in 1900. is really 20 per cent lower than it was some thirty years ago. The cost of living in England was at its highest point in 1896, for the thirty three years covered by the document. The year 1882 showed the highest prices of all.
 On the subject of wages this docu- ment hns a different story. From 1879 to 1900 wages advanced quite steadily. the improvement amounting to about 20 per cent: but since 1900 there has been no important gain.
 Commenting upon this, the Ottowa, Canada, Citizen takes' occasion to say:
 Tt is not at all likely that British price movements are very different from American or Canadian price movements. Certainly the lowest prices for farm products were reached in or near the year 1S96
 If careful investigation should show that the cost of living is high mainly because we live high. and that the advance has been brought about by the time approved method. that of paying more for wages. then there should not be much reason to com plain. 4 reduction in the cost of liv- ing, because of a reduction in wages, would be the worst sort of retrogres- sion. On the contrary, it is fair to assume that progress will continue, new inventions and new business methods making labor worth more and more for any given time, and necessi- tating further increase in the wages fund and in the purchasing power oi the great mass of the people.
 The only remedies for the unsatis- factory cost of living appear to lie in education"
 The cost of distribution nearly dou- bles the charge for goods, and this with the waste, makes prudent livins g problem.
 The only relief politics offers is a change of governmental policy whicE will paralyze industries and produce 2 crisis which no working man wants tc experience.

PERSONAL LINEN.

Personal linen, like every other kind, must be worn evenly and in due rota- ton. Each article must be put in the linen place always on It's own portion of the shelf and in it's own set Thus all nightgoWns belonging to the same person go in one place, all corset cov- CTS in one place, all other garments in their own spot, so that the owner knows exactly where to lay her hands on any of them at a seconds notice.
 Longcloth and cambie may be all that one can readily afford. Such gar ments, when well wrought, look near ly as well as those of pure linen, and may well be worn for ordinary use. Every girl and every woman should own at least two sets of real linen un- derwear, beautifully hand-worked, and something to last many years and to be proud of.
 Linen wears much longer than cot ton because of it's close texture and it's strong fiber The art of spinning the flax and weaving the wool for linen is so ancient that it was said the gods taught the old Egyptian women the wonderful method of making snow white clothing out of the field flax Mummies, enwrapped for thousands of years in swathing of the finest linen give proof of the wearing qualities of the stuff made by the ancient folk of the world. And the wearing qualities are in it now if linen unmixed with less durable cotton be chosen. And ii can be chosen if women are willing tc pay it's price.
 Personal linen, like bed linen, is oft en put away with lavender between its folds, cunningly mixed with orris root and other scented things in sachets Old wives said it kept away the moths But moths do not attack linen. Mildew is it's worst enemy; this comes from damp places.
 Nevertheless, lavender should be used because of the fragrant scent il gives to clean clothing. This scent one can i'll dispense with.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Why Hasn't Woodrow Done Some
 thnc7

Mir. Editor: Now. to begin with. I think l am getting a little pig, pig. piggy, and taking up too much. of your valuable space but as long as you all low me to shoot darts at the most un- American, un democratic, wholly aris- tocratic candidate for president this nation ever had, I shall keep at it; that is. if l can find anything new; and the more look up the past record of Woodrow Wilson, the hater of old soldiers foreigners, secret order mem bers, and in 1896 and 1900 w. J. Bryan. the more reasons I find that he should be retired from public life, because he has proven to be ftilure. MT. Wilson said the other day to the committee of 52 that notified him the democratic party had chosen him for leader, that the trusts and monopolies must be controlled and destroyed. Now then. unless I am badly misinforned. the state of New Jerhey is the home of more than two-thirds of the so-called blood sucking trusts. and Woodrow Wilson has been governor of New Jer- sey nearly two years. In that two years Governor Woodrow Wilson has not written a line to the New Jersey legislature in favor of abolishing or controlling trusts. Why hasn't Wood . row done something?
 Mir. Wilson has had lots of time to break up or down large combines in New Jersey, but has not raised his voice to do so Has he? If so, for heavens sake tell us when!
 Mir. Woodrow Wilson was greeted | by Ollie James the other day as a man who stands firmly on the state plat form of democracy, when governor, and will do the same on the national plat form when president. Of course, l l don't for a moment believe he will | ever be president, but if he should slir in and stands squarely on that plat form of free trade except for revenue the cotton mills of Greeneville. the

HELPS AND HINTS FOR THE
 KITCHEN.
Oriental Craam.

Oriental Cream.
 A delicious hot weather dessert call ing for dates and figs is this: Soak a tablespoonful of gerlatin in quar- ter of a cupful of cold water and then add to it a quarter of a cupful oi scalded milk and half cupful of su- gar. Strain the mixture into a bowl set in ice water and stir until it be- gins to thicken. Add the whites of two eggs beaten stiff half a pint of cream beaten stiff and third of acup- ful each of chopped dates and chopped figs, together with a tablespoonful of lemon juice Turn into a mold and chill thoroughly.
 Bordered einghams.
 While the bordered gingham, which this season is more beautiful than ev- CT, is used mostly for gowns, it makes the most attractive work aprons pos sible. Whether aprons covering the entire frOck or those which fasten about the waist are wanted 1t is well to consider the bordered fabrics be- fore buying material An apron seen recently in a brides trouseau was of the blue and white striped gingham with narrow striped border. A de- sign in cross stitch was worked in the border, the effect of the whole being altogether charming

THE AMERICAN VcTINa FORGE.

The voting force of the country is only a little over half of the whole number of persons of voting age.
 The census bureau reports show that the total number of males of vot- ing age is between 2&OOO000 and 99. .00O. 900. These figures include aliens who have not been naturalized, men who have forfeited their rights of franchise because of crime, indifferent citizens who do not care to vote, and hundreds of thousands of citizens dis franchised by election laws.
 News comes from Georgia that the present election law engineered through by Hoke Smith shuts oW all the negro citizens of that state ex- cepting 19.OO0; and debars 100, ,00e white men from voting. There are hundreds of thousands of colore6 vot- CTS disfranchised in the south by the technicalities of the law. just as many are disfranchised here in New England in the same way, and since the states make their own election laws there seems to be no help for it.
 In the presidential electicr of 1908, the total popular vote in the United States for all candidates for president was 14.SSS.159, and this exceeded the vote for president in 1904 by 1,D0, ,000. At the same rate of increase the, pop ular vote for president in 1912 would be considerable more than 16,0O0,000.
 But this' does not begin to represent the increase of the vote for president since 1908. for in the past four years a half-dozen states have adopted equal suffrage, and the added votes of wo- men, 1t is alleged. will increase the vote more than 100000, making a gain of nearly 6OOOOoO in the voting force of the ,nation-an advance of about B 1-S jer cent.
 Under present conditions it is not easy to tell where the balance of pow CT is. The women's vote. if it does not represent the balance, of power, comes near doing it. hence. Colonel Roose- welt bid for it straight, and deprives President Taft and the republican panty of it. If this estimate of power is correct, it may not elect Roosevelt but it is very likely to defeat the republican party

To Make Smelling Salts.

Smelling salts can be made at home, or, if one has already purchased d bottle the strength can be kept up and so make the salts last much longer. To prepare a salts bottle, put in car bonate of ammonia, adding one part of any desired perfume to eight of the carbonate of ammonia
 Another method is to put into a wide mouthed glass stoppered bottle small bits of the sponge, fill with com mon liquid ammonia, adding a few drops of any perfume desired. As the bits of sponge dry they can be moist ened time and again.

The parnina Basket.

When the weekly wash comes up from the laundry take the clothes that need mending and find patches of the material, yarn to darn with, or what ever is necessary to mend with, and pin the pieces to the article to be mended; then put them aside in a drawer or sewing bag until you have time to sit down quietly and sew. Hav- ing everything ready, you will be sur prised at the amount you can do al one sitting. By this method the week ly mending loses half of it's terrors for the busy housekeeper.
