LOAN SHARK LAWS.

The experiences of most every state with the operations of the loan sharks are resulting in state legislation for the purpose of restricting their free dom of operation and make them con form to laws which will take into con- sideration the rights of the people with whom they do business or who perhaps are forced to do business with them in order to get the necessary loan of money. The extortion of ex- cessive rates of interest and the fail- ure to give credit for. payments or to open their bonks for examination are some of the causes for the indig- nation which has been expressed against those who have piled their business as a leech on a confiding public.
 Legislation upon such a business deserves careful consideration for it is practically giving them a license to do business. The governor of New Jersey has refused to sign a bill con corning such business because it did not restrict 1t. excessive interest rates were permitted and no provision was made for reyoking licenses for viola tiOns. Unless just such provisions are placed in the laws as the governor pointed out, the legislation Is likely to operate to the advantage of the loan sharks especially if no penalty is provided for violating the law and they are permitted to continue in the business after violations. The law should be so drawn that the interests of the public will be protected for there is reason to believe that the lenders will take good care of them

THE RELIEF CORPS:

Concerning the excellent reconstruc- tien work Of the force of men who re-
 place the tracks and rebuild the bridges after they have been swept away by the fiooda~ and traffic over them delayed and schedules upset for days, President Stevens of the Ches- apeai1e and Ohio railroad has words of praise and encouragement. and pays @ worthy tribute when he aeIlnowl- edges the service which they render working in the water and standing all kinds of exposure with military precision and without muffnuf like Trojans.''
 This is deserved compliment to but in recognizing them and their ser vice there should not be forgotten the hundreds who have devoted their time and energy to the saving of life and the improvement of the conditions which the floods have caused in the cities and thicl1ly settled regions of the middle west. There has been the heroic service, the lending of unor- gaRized human effort for the solving of the many problems which have had to be faced and which will re- quire months of effort to completely overcome. There, as in all such catas- tropics, has been the response in rec ognition of the human needs, which has been so7 vital in overcoming the suffering and supplying the wants That service has been well rendered. It has been steady and faithful and by the reconstruction. The cities of the flood section have reason to re- member the relief corps. as well as the railroads

REVELATIONS OF RECOUNT.

The value of the voting machine is demonstrated in all instances where it is found necessary to have recounts of election returns. Accounts in many instances reveal the failure of the ini- tiaI count to properly give the vote as cast and while the election result may not be changed. it entails an ex- penSe which could better be devoted to some other municipal use. Tn Chi cago at the present time a recount is underway because the socialist can didate for attorney general protested against the count as returned. With less than one-third of the precincts counted the contestant has shown a gain of 5000 votes and there has been rolled up an expense of $40. 900 a third of which the election commission must bear.
 Peculiar methods of counting have been found in looking over the votes which show the liability there is for mistakes in human tabulation of the figures. whether it is accidental or in tentionaI. In Brockton the failure to include several thousand votes for the third party candidate for governor as recently made, was another revela- ton of the chances there are for errors to be made through the lack of the proper attention to details in the hus- tie and hustle of election night. These revelations which come from the re- counts are but recent evidence of the superiority of the voting machine for the mechanical taoulation of the votes as cast. the insurance of accuracy and the elimination of clerical mistakes.

 Paperhanging is sometimes 9 dis agreeable and inconvenient task to have done. Ordinary wallpaper can be cleaned by the following method:
 First sweep the walls thoroughly with a clean brush for broom and rub all soiled marks with stale bread Many persons use bread to clean the entire wall, but the disadvantage of this is that 1t makes q lot of crumbs
 A stiff dough mixture is excellent for cleaning walls. Mix together oneA half pound of flour and two ounces of whiting and cold water enough to make stiff dough. The dough dare not be sticky: hear jhis In mind.
 Rub the wall with this mixture and ss u becomes soiled turn a clean side out. Do not rub hard, as this spells the surface of the paper.

The Most Useful Remedy
 In Medicine
Begins where Other Remedies Leave off and Leads where No Other Product can Follow

Follow the story of BIoPLASM (Bower)-the great natural correcter of ills caused by body negligence.
 For many years BIOPLASM (Bewer) has been extensively used by physi- clans in all parts of the world in the treatment of many diseases The ex- celIent results obtained have been truly marvellous.
 As we all know our blood prepares for nutrition all food. and through the blood circulation all waste matter is transformed into harmless products for discharge. If any one of these chemf- cal changes in the blood disturbs the blood action-the waste matter which should be changed and eliminated be- comes dangerous poison. Then fol- low our troubles.
 BIOPLASM starts at the base of the trouble-in the primary cells which have become stagnant from the slug gish change of the worn-out tissues. When the millions of cells are renewed to normal action by BIOPLASM, trouble no longer exist In other words, BIOPIASM removes the obstacle and nature completes the cure
 BIOPLASM tBower) is a product of nature. It contains no Alkaloids. All

TITANIC ANNIVERSARY.

Today marks the first anniversary
 of the loss of the Titanic, the terrible
 disaster which cost the lives of 1500 passengers. It was catastrophe
 which called for the careful study of its causes and the manner in which the lesson has been needed is notice able in the efforts which have been made to prevent any such affair in the future It was costly lesson and one which ought never to be repeat ed It demonstrated that the "unsink- able ship was g. misnomer and steps were at once taken to overcome the defects which had been revealed. Ship building has undergone a change based on the lesson and the Olympic with its double bottom and it's raised water tight compartments is calcu- lated to give greater safety. This with the additional requirement. that life boats must be provided for all the pas sengers with adequate means of launching them are among the inn mediate benefits in the way of pro lection.
 There was instant recognition of the need of avoiding the iceberg zone and this year ships are patrolling that To- cality to warn the ocean going craft of the presence of dangerous ice. Both this country and Great Britain are participating in this work. New reg uIations concerning wireless and it's installation upon freight vessels have been enacted into law and are being observed. Tn all these directions great progress has been made in increasing the safety of ocean travel While it was considered that no such calamity as the Titanic's loss could have hap pened previous to that time, one day many weak points in trans oceanic shipping and the experience i has gone long way towards correct ing them.

A Petticoat Fad,

 Get a good quality, mercerized pre- ferably. and cut in one of the new petticoat patterns of straight lines Finish the hot tom with a deep hem, five or seven inches. and finish the edge with scallop trimming about half an inch wide. This can be sewed on by the machine and gives smart look to the skirt at little cost or trouble. The trimming usually costs but three on by the mao fine.
 Similar skirts are made in black satine to wear under dark gowns, and women have two or three of each kind instead of the usual cambric petticoat or unserviceahle silk.

TO REMOVE OIL STAINS.

Do not make the mistake of putting hot water on machine oil stains. It will not remove the grease, but it may set it so firmly that it cannot be re- moved. If the garment stained is washable, rub the grease spot with cold water and soap immediately the accident has happened. Another good plan is to apply a, little French chalk or gasoline to the spot, taking the pre- caution, however, to insert underneath the material a piece of plotting paper. This to prevent a ring being perceiv- able when the grease has been re- moved

"JUsTIcE" IN TARIFF BILL

Congress has been spending several days getting ready for the resumption of business. It is still in a much di- vided state as to the provisions in the proposed tariff bill and even in the democratic party there is much oppo- sition being manifested to the rates which have been submitted Many amendments are being prepared for a bettering of the chances of American industry competing with European.
 While it is recognized that a re- vision of the tariff could be made which would not work hardship to the business and labor of this country it is conceded that such has not been the object in the bill to be consid- cred. Rather is the view taken, as epressed by the Worcester Telegram when it says:
 "It is proposed by the new tariff that hundreds of millions of dollars worth of goods made in foreign coun- tries when ready for the American market-that is when landed on our shores-shalI compete absolutely tax free. The American made goods shall start the competition carrying bur den of taxes that have been paid all along the line all the way from the producer of their raw material through the various producers during the var ious stages to final completion. Also the capital all the machinery. and all the labor involved have to that point paid many American taxes that have helped to make America great The untaxed foreign capital machinery, labor and goods which have not con tributed anything toward building up America or American conditions are thus presented with a. mighty snap. The American is given icewater in his own country. This is justice''
