Two monumental pieces OF legisla-
tion have been put over since the new
administration took charge in Wash
ington. The tariff law has been placed
on the statute books and the currency
bin, since It's passage by the senate, Is
practically completed. Both are exam
pies Of constructive statesmanshlp and
they furnish abundant evidence that
the Democrats, long derided by their
opponents as mere negationists, are
capable OF doing ihings" The party
in power is losing no time in redeem
ing its pledges but is making remark
able rapid progress in dealing with the
problems which confront it. There
are other great issues on the program
and there is every reason to believe
that before the present congress ends
IL VIII have made a record unsurpass-
ed by any of lis predecessors.

Bedroom slippers.

A quick way to make a pair OF wool
bedroom slippers is to purchase a
pretty shade Of eiderdown and have a
neat pattern for shaping them. All
pattern houses sell patterns for such.
As a finishing touch these slippers
may have deep Sits cut around the
top, aud these are worked like any
ordinary buttonhole and threaded with
wide satin ribbon. Instead of the
usual bow at front, says the Jersey

SAVING ONES LIFE.


For whosoever shall save his life

This is one OF the eternal paradoxes
perceived by prophets and verified BY
human experience. The man who Is

City Star.

the line Of human activity A person
must be absorbed in what he is doing

perience in a rhyme when she wrote:

Quaintance men and women who lose
themselves in the work they have in

OF others? On the other hand, aren't
the most miserable ones the people

many invalids. They are apt to fix
their attention on their own affairs IN
an abnormal way.
