happened in this way:
About three and a half years ago
I had an attack Of pneumonia, which
left memento in the shape of dys-

Tectly, neuralgia of the stomach. My

Next day 1t came, but the cook
made the mistake OF not boiling it suf
ficiently, and we did not like it much.
This was, however. soon remedied,
and now We like it so much that We
will never change back. Postum, be-
ing food beverage instead Of a drug,
has been the means Of banishing my

Christian Scientists are here plan
ming a campaign for the protection
of their people in the right to Sc
lect the healers and advisers they
desire in times of illness. The cam
paign of the Christian Scientists will
be fought this year on d somewhat
different ground than it has been car
ried on in the past When the So
called medical bills are taken up the
Christian Scientists viii come for
ward and declare that they have no
objection to any protection being
thrown around any class Of FRACTION
ers or healers which those FRACTION
ers or healers may desire, so long as
it is clearly understood that the right
of l. iiViduals to choose any kind Of
healing or advice in cases Of Illness
is protected. In other words the
Christian Scientists Will ask that the
limitation placed on the practice OF
medicine or any other form of heal
ing such as chiro-practice, be solely
for those professions and that no
attempt shall be made to legislate
that the individual shall not have the
right to call healers outside Of those
professions if he so desires.

Spring Clipping of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers IS to clip ali horses in the
spring. It is done on the theory that In
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work, so could shed the winter coat i'm
comfort over period of several weeks
Since we obligs them to do hard work ON
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that we
lay of our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
TO be affected with other ailments as I'M
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food and come out
IN the morning refreshed and fit for work
Since the advent of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine the work of
taking off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine a horse can be clipped all over
IN half an hour. whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours to
do it.
Dairymen also now clip the cows alr
over two or three times year The TANKS
and udders are clipped every three or four
weeks, so it is easy to clean the parts be-
fore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk

Calumet Guarantees BAKING Economy

Have you ever stopped to think just
what Economy" in baking really means2
Some folks seem to have the idea that
saving a little ON the cost of the mate
rials-the flour eggs, etc.-is economy
Others are of the opinion that they have
been economical when they buy the low
priced baking powder, and save 10c to 25G-
But both are wrong. For the real econ
omy-the economy that counts-consists In
doing away with the failures that so
often waste far more than is saved in
buying low-priced materials.
And that beyond a doubt is the reason
that Calumet Baking Powder is the favor
lite OF millions of cooks. It absolutely
prevents failures-and guarantees sue
cess-whch in the end is the same thing
as economy.
Calumet is unfailing-it makes every
baking good-more tasty, more delicious,
more evenly raised-simply because it is
not only pure and wholesome itsel1but
so uniform in quality that you can always
depend upon 1t. Two Worlds Pure Food
Expositions-one at Chicago in 1907, and
the other at Paris, France, in 19l2-have

INAUGURAL DAYS
OF FORMER YEARS
How George Washington Became
President at Federal Hall in
New York City.
FALSE STORY OF JEFFERSON
"simpiicity" of His Inauguration
Myth Traced TO English Writer
jackson Fairly Mobbed by
Motley Throng.
By EDWARD WEBSTER.

From the very beginning OF the ma
ton. Inauguration day has generally
been day of display and festivity
for the people OF the United States,
though at times national conditions
have made it an occasion more solemn
than joyous But always the induction
Of new president has been a note
worthy and interesting event.
When George Washington was in
augurated the first president in 1889,
New York was the temporary capital
Of the young nation, and it was there
that the ceremony took place after
General Washington had ridden from
his home at Mount Vernon in what
was much like a triumphal progress.
Welcomed to New York.
Arriving at EIizabethtOwn Point,
\. J.. on April %, he entered a barge
Towed by y pilots clad in white,
and passed through the Kill Won KuIl
into New York harbOr, which was full
Of all manner of craft gaily decorated
and loaded with cheering crowds. The
Spanish man of war Galveston broke
out the colors Of all nations, and
fired a salute Of Is guns, to which the
American frigate North Carolina re-
sponded
Finally, on April 80, all was ready
for the Inauguration. Washington
was escorted to Federal hall, then
the capitol. which stood on the site of
the present sub-treasury at Wall and
Broad streets. The streets had been
filled since sunrise with waiting
crowds, and the enthusiasm was in
tense. In the senate chamber Wash
ingtou was joined by Adams. Knox,
Hamilton, Won Steuben and few 9th
ers. and all of them appeared on the
balcony Robert R Livingston. chan

If you are q good Democrat. no
doubt you believe that Thomas Jeffer-

PRESIDENT URGES
BUDGET SYSTEM
In Special Message Taft Sets
Forth Its Advantages.
IS BASED ON COMMON SENSE
Bureau of Central Administrative Cen
troll and Congressional Budget
Committees Recommended by
the Chief Executive.

Washington. Feb. 27.-Congress on
Wednesday received from President
Taft 3 special message urging the
adoption of budget system and con-
tanning statement Of the condition
Of the country's finances.
THE fact that ours is the only
great nation whose government is do
ing business without a budget" said
the president, has not been domi-
nant reason for departure from 123
years of precedent. Such procedure
is based on common experience and
common sense. 1t is supported by the
best judgment and experience that has
obtained in the management of cor
porate bodies. both public and private.
The message continues, in part:
The advantage TO the congress of
getting before it definite concrete
statement and proposal, one which is
submitted by the responsible head Of
the administration, must also be ap-
parent. Such a statement will greatly
facilitate the adoption of procedure
by the celebrating branch OF the gov
eminent whereby the gross amounts
to DE appropriated may be determined
in advance of decision as to what
amount will be allowed for each detail
of the governments business, rather
than to leave the relations of income
and outgo to be computed after action
had been taken on the many matters
which are brought before the con-
gress for determination.
First IN the list of proposed
changes in law setting forth what leg
islation should be enacted in order to
enable the administration to trans
act the public business with greater
economy and efficiency is recommen-
dation for the establishment of bu-
reau of central administrative control,
with a controller at the head who
would be responsible to the president
and to congress. Concretely the pro-
posal is to consolidate the six audi
tors Offices as well as the Office of the
comptroller of the treasury and the
other central accounting Offices of the
government in one executive bureau.
While it is with much hesitation
that / suggest any change in COM
mittee organization in congress, it
seems to me to be highly desirable to
have some provision such as has been
frequently suggested by members on
the floor, whereby a budget commit
tee may be established as final clear
Ing house through which all the rec
concentrations of the committees hav-
ing to do with revenues and expendi-
lures shall pass before they take the

Cle-ks Must Work SUNDAYS.

The bill limiting the hours of la
Dor in drug store to $50 for four

clerk must have twenty-four hours
of consecutive rest from duty dur
ing every period of two weeks is to
be recommended fol passage. The
feature of the bill prohibiting drug
stores from remaining open except
for limited period on Sunday will
be stricken from the bill. Because
of the necessity of having drug stores
open all day Sunday in some com
munities it was decided by the COM

from the bill which provided that

on Sundays between o'clock and
