THE CREDIT SYSTEM.

Gladys Evangeline Evelyn Rose.
She went a-shopping, to buy some new
clothes;
She wandered all day from this store
to that,
Trying on everything from a boot to
hat
She came home at evening, trium-
phant, but tired,
For she really had bought everything
she desired.
So next day the purchases duly ar
rived
And her family much sport from
them surely derived
The poor girl, discouraged, gave up
in despair.
"Oh!" she sighed, I'll return them
they're Charged l don't care!''
So she wrote just as follows: please
call for the suit.
Please call for the hat Chat / thought
was so cute);
Please call for the petticoat, call for
the lace,
Please call for the slippers and wells
for the face;
Please call for the polo coat, call for
the belt,
Please call for the cushions of satin
and felt
I'm so glad 1 Charged them-'twill
save me much pain
Though now must buy them all over
again." Judge.

CALIFORNIA GRAPE JUICE.

1t is not likely that the wide pub
licity given to Secretary Bryan's
grape juice dinner will do much for
the cause of temperance, but it is to
be hoped that it will do something
for the grape juice market. California
grape juice is sweet and bland. East
e~n grape juice is sour and has the
; "1g foxy taste of the Concord
81 0"s of which it is made. 1t hap
pens hat California juice is more
whole me and far more nutritious
than to Eastern grape juice. Also,
1t can b. produced more cheaply,
since grape in California are cheap,
and in the asst are very expensive.
But the East"~n grape juice got
started first and it has been difficult
up to the present time, for the Cali
fornia juice to compete with it. Cali
fornia grape juice, to be properly
palatable, should be served cold
the cold minimizes the sweetness and
brings out the acid. Many people. al

KANSAS MUSICAL PRODIGY.

philadelphia Public Ledger.)
A 6year-old boy climbed upon the
piano stool in country home on
Parallel road, six miles west of Kans-
City, Kans., and thumped the keys
while mother did the busting. Sud
denly mothers duster passed in mid
air. The chubby oaby fingers were
playing clearly the soft, sweet notes
of "Suwanee River" playing them as
well as visitor had played the song
earlier in the day.
That night, over the dinner table,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Hosp discussed the
wonderful performance of their little
son. He must be musical genius"
they both agreed. In the end they de-
cided to move to Kansas City and give
the child musical education.
The Hosps are living at 647 Oakland
avenue, the Kansas side, and Master
Melborn the pianist, is years old
Already a favorite as a performer at
small music "by ear" he is learning
his notes under competent instructors,
and is practicing scales just as any
other beginner in music. His training
differs from that of the ordinary pu-
pill only in that he is not compelled
to practice. His teachers permit him
to largely follow his own inclinations.
They fear that rigid instruction might
restrain his natural ability. The pro-
gress of the child is attracting the at
tention of musicians

Your Child's Health
Your First Thought

If you have children, naturally your
first thoughts are for their health.
You certainly want them to develop
strong. healthy constitutions. The
most careful attention must be given
when children show the first symp-
toms of the many common ailments
Perhaps they are weakly and thin, or
grow too fast, thus sacrificing
strength. These AMI other apparent
ly minor ailments may be the fore
runner to weak constitution for life.
Such children need Jayne's Tonic
Vermifuge which is essentially a chill
dren's tonic. First of all, it will prop
erly care for the child's stomach. II
will also improve the appetite, and
will add strength to the other organs
| of the body. In cases of thin or inn
pure blood, 1T increases the number
of red corpuscles. enabling the en-
riched blood to keep the body healthy
and strong.
Among the most common ailments
that children develop is that of a dis
ordered stomach, leading to an inn
paired digestion. In many cases this
trouble is due to parasites in the in
| testinal tract. To correct such trou-
BILE. Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is un-
surpassed.
For more than eighty years mil
lions of children have been restored
to health through the use of this ton
ic. Insist upon Jayne's; accept nc
other. Sold by druggists everywhere

BY THE SCISSORS
WEDDING GIFTS.
(By Mrs. Frank Learned in the San
Francisco Examilner.)

(By Mrs. Frank Learned in the San
Francisco Examilner.)
The question of sending a wedding
gift must be decided by friendship or
obligation. In the first instance there
is the natural wish to please a friend,
and in the other case one may be in
! debted to the bride or bridegroom or
to their families for kindnesses or hos
pitalities Those who are invited to
/ home wedding or a wedding recep-
ton usually send gifts, although
there is no absolute rule to be follow
ed as to this. AS it is supposed to be
a home ceremony. a guest likes to re-
turn the courtesy by a gift, however
simple it may be.
A gift is sent invariab bly, to the bride
even though she may not be known
personally to the giver. The custom
is to send a gift directly from the
place where it is purchased. The WIS.,
iting card of the giver in enclosed in
a small envelope and placed inside of
the box containing the present A
brief line expressive of good wishes

card If the giver is a friend specially
interested.
Wedding fits are marked with the
initials of the brides maiden name.
In regard to the display of wedding
presents, there Is a division of opin-
ion. Some persons consider it osten-
tatious to show the gifts, or that it de-
stroys sentiment to have critical eyes
examining these offerings; others pre-
fer to share their pleasure with their
friends and are glad to give evidence
Of the good will and the generous at
tention they have received.
When a wedding takes place in the
country and friends are expected from
distance. the custom is to show the
presents on the wedding day. or II
the wedding is an informal one, with
only relatives and intimate friends
present, the gifts are shown
The preferred custom is to show
the presents a few days before the
wedding. The bride-elect, or her
mother, may write informal notes ask
ing intimate friends and all those who
have sent gifts to come in on GER

In his message to congress yester-
day President Wilson pointed out so
clearly the logic of
The Currency currency reform at
Reform Bill. this session that the
need of action must be
obvious TO all The substance of the
matter is that the president does not
want the country to take any chances
with the pirates of privilege nor does
he want the prosperity of the country
TO rest in any way upon the behavior
ot Wall street gamblers. He is CIV
ing the country good tariff bill and
he wants the people to get the bene-
fit of it. He is freeing business from
the evils of the protective tariff and
he does not want this new freedom to
be spoiled by any money combination.
AS to the currency bill proposed it
is the essence of simplicity. II pro-
vides for an elastic currency that may
plant the Aldrich-Vreeland emergency
currency bill which expires June 30,
1914. But there will be regional re-
serves instead of one central reserve
and the control will rest with the gov
ernment, not with Wall street With
that scheme in force there could be
no repetition of the wholly unnecessary
panic of 1907. Under the regional re-
serve plan each section of the country
will settle it's own troubles. If Wall
street has a spasm Wall street will
have to provide the remedy. 1t can
not drag the whole country in to
share its stomach ache as it did in
1907. With the control of affairs in
the hands of the federal government
there will be no opportunity for the
great financial interests to use the
thing to build up their own power.
The administration currency bill is
the sort of measure the country needs
and there is every reason why it should |
be enacted at the special session. To |
delay would give the privileged inter-
ests an opportunity TO spoil the bene-
fits OF tariff reform and furthermore
there Is little time for delay since !
the present emergency currency law
will expire a year from now. There
is not the slightest doubt but that the
administration bill will be adopted by
congress soon after il is presented. 1t
will be equivalent to political suicide
for a democrat to oppose the bill and
IL the republicans try to fight 1t they
will merely be digging their grave the
deeper.

former who delivers the goods and he
stays upon the job from the start to
the finish.

They may dynamite the Cold Springs
dam if such action becomes necessary
from a military standpoint, though
this has not yet been predicted by the

of the invasion Nor have the farm

Though A. F. May was in the war
zone recently accompanied by his dog
he saw but one lonely jack. Only to
the Oregonian's war correspondent has
the deadly truth been revealed.
1t is big joke and would be a good
joke were it not for the fact the libel
