The tariff debates in the Senate
are of such high or d er of
thoroughness in substance, and
ability in delivery, that any per-
son who follows them must wish
that the Congressional Record
were available to more readers.
OF course Impotence with the
delay caused by this debate is
justifiable, The present session
was commissioned by the people
and called by the President to
pass a tariff bill; all the good
that can come from discussion
must have been secured by the
tariff debates, which have been
more or less continuous through
out the long sessions Of Congress
during the past four years.
TO restrict debate would be a
step in the direction of speed and
efficiency. That's the next thing
needed in the Government at
Washington. There is no longer
any corruption nor even any i'm
proper serving of big interests.
The defect OF the Government
now is low efficiency. Partly
this is a matter Of personnel,
partly a matter of legislative
form and red tape. Just as large
a reorganization Of the forms of
government as is necessary to
bring about efficiency must come.

deep-rooted feeling of animosity

strange cyclones. Our family
saw the cyclone coming, but we
had no idea that it was rude,
uncultured cyclone without any
trace of bringing up. We gath
cred on the porch to watch the
spectacle. We had never had a
cyclone perform for our amuse-
ment before.
1t drew itself up into a funnel
shape and advanced boldly to-
ward US. Before any greetings
were exchanged we saw that it
was not friend of the family,
and withdrew into the cyclone
cellar to let the cyclone knock at
| the door, UNDECIDED. We heard
it muttering under it's breath,
and when we looked out later the
door of our house was gone.
Then we missed the porch where
we had so lately stood; soon to
our astonishment, we saw that
the whole house had been re-
moved. The cyclone had left no
address.

No Little Girl for Him.

The six-year-old son of well-known
family attends dancing
school. He is a chubby little fellow
who has not begun to stretch out yet,
and he keenly feels his Shortage"
He demands that he be recognized as
a little "grownup." Several days ago
the teacher planned to instruct her
pupils in dancing "the Butterfly" A
five-year-old girl who is small for her
age and just a trifle stouter than our
hero, but an adept at dancing, was
assigned as his partner He gazed at
her in silence. Then he took hold
of her hand and, with his mouth set
firmly, walked straight over to the
teacher.
Don't you think you'd better give
me bigger girl?" he asked.-Indian-

All Mankind.

Some comparisons showing the pro-
gress of the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign in the last eight years and the
present needs of this movement are

Personality.

Personality is just ones centralized
experience of the world, and there is
no way of making it greater except by
making that experience greater and
more centralized; in other words, be-
ing bigger, broader, better man or
woman. Every intellectual achieve
ment, every moral victory, every bit
of solid work, will leave personality
richer, profounder more delicate, In
fact, to cultivate it, the plan is don't
cultivate 1t. Let it alone and do your
duty and it will grow.-E. B. Andrews,
in the International Journal of Ethics.

BABY IN MISERY WITH RASH

Monroe, Wis.-'When my baby was
six weeks old there came a rash on
his face which finally spread until 1t
got nearly all over his body. 1t form
ed a crust on his head, hair fell out
and the itch was terrible. When he
would scratch the crust, the water
would ooze out in big drops. On face
and body it was in dry form and
would scale off. He was in great mis-
cry and at nights I would lie awake
holding his hands so that he could not
scratch and disfigure himself. tried
simple remedies at first, then got
medicine, but it did no good.
Finally friend suggested Cuticura
Remedies, SO I sent for a sample to
see what they would do, when to my
surprise after a few applications I
could see an improvement, and he
would rest better I bought a box of
Cuticura Ointment and cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and before I had them half
used my baby was cured. His head Is
now covered with a luxuriant growth
of hair and his complexion is ad-
mired by everybody and has no dis
flgurements." (Signed) Mrs. Annie

LOWERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Simple Methods That Will Keep Them
Alive, Fragrant, and Pleasure
for Many Days.

To make flowers last a week or
more, four things are necessary. First,
do not try to arrange them the mo-
ment you get them, but put them in a
pail of water for few hours, so that
every stem will be under water up to
the flower. Second, cleanse the vase
thoroughly before putting in the flow
ers and change the water every day.
Third, the cooler you keep the flowers
the longer they will last. If you are
too busy In the morning to enjoy them
or have to go out for the afternoon, do
not leave them in the living-room. for
they are not used to such a tempera-
ture. Every night put the vase in
cool place, or better still, plunge the
stems up to the flowers in a pail of
water. Fourth, cut about a quarter of
an inch off each stem in the morning.
1t is more trouble to do this under
water. but it pays. If you cut the
stems in the ordinary way air bubbles
get into the stems and impede the TAX
ing in of water-Delineator

Queer Ironing.

A writer in the Wide World
zine says that the most curiol. s,e at
he saw at Cairo was men ing
clothes with their feet! The men
were employed in the native tailoring
establishments.
Except for the long handle, the
irons were shaped like the ordinary
fiat-iron, only larger. A solid block
of wood rested on the top of the iron,
and on this the men placed one foot,
guiding the iron in the desired direc-
ton by means of the handle. For the
sake of convenience, ironing boards
were raised only a few inches from
the ground, and, however strange the
method may seem to us. the work
was done very well and very expedi-
tiously.
