Times Have Changed.
Times have changed and men have changed
with them since Thomas Jefferson decided not
to follow the practice of his predecessors in the
presidency in delivering in person his messages
to congress, a function patterned after the
kings address from the throne
Under the incumbency of Washington and
Adams there was virtually but one party In
congress- and hence nothing in the message
gave provoCation for challenge and Colloquy.
The reading proceeded uninterruptedly, and con-
gress' reply to the message reserved for
later day But with the advent of Jefferson
new conditions prevailed in congress. The party
spirit had seized the country. and as a result
the Jefferson administration Ras confronted by
Der.
sage 10 congress constituted in part OF his
most active political enemies somebody might
start a diversion that would put him in en-
barrassing and undignihed position, Jefferson
abandoned the idea OF reading his message, and
sent it by messenger, practice that has been
observed ever since. Jeners0ns fears may have
been groundless. At least they not shared
by President Wilson, who has decided to read
his message as being the only dignifed way for
the president to address that body at the OPEN
ing of the session Instead of backing away,
like jefferson, president wants keep in
touch with congress and take the chance of be-
ing heckled on the floor Doubtless he viii

makes a rough estimate that fully 80
per cent. of the potato crop in Aroos

Per cent. remaining in the ground, he
claims, will be damaged somewhat
from the continued wet weather and
the extreme heat of several days ago.
Some potatoes which farmers had stor-
ed in their barns ana sheds during the
sood digging weather. are being hauled
in. The price paid, Saturday. ranged
from $1.15 to SIPS per barrel
Mr.. Cleveland claims that on ac-
count of the shipments from New
brunswick, the price is lower than II
otherwise would be. also that heav,
shipments are now arriving in New
York from Belgium and other eoun.

This, also, has tendency to keep tht
price down, he says.
Some rot is reported in the potatoe.

Husbands Hair :
II II Is Thinning Out or Full of
Dandruff, Use Partisan Sage
At Once.

Most men, and husbands in par
ticular are careless regarding the care
of the hair-not until 1t comes out by
the combful do they really take notice.
Then it may be too late.
If you husbands hair is getting
thin; if he has dandruff or the scalp
itehes and burns-take immediate ac-
ton; do not let him become a bald
head.
Get from any druggist or toilet
counter a 30 cent bottle of Partisan
Sage. Rub it we'll into the scalp every
night. The first application will re-
move dandruff. When the hair stops
falling and the new growth appears
use every other night until the hair is
thick and abundant.
Partisan Sage is a delightful and in.
vigorating hair tonic for men, women
and children. 1t is a scientific prep
aration based on thorough knowl-
edge of what is needed by the hair and
scalp to keep them perfectly healthy
and remove dandruff, stop scalp itch
and falling hair. Surely try Partisan
Sage. Look for the trade mark on

The first association with National
Apple day is very fittingly along the
inc of feasting on the fruit. The date
or observing the anniversary was
,urposely fixed at the time when the
tyerage harvest for fall and winter
pples would be at its height and the
observance of the day would give a
timulus to trade in all markets by an
unusual demand for the fruit. The
ractice of giving apples to children in
deserving the festival will no doubt
rove to be a very efficient means for
erpetuating the annual observance.

Pinklets Will Really
Correct Constipation

Pinklets are a most valuable laxative
in the treatment of obstinate constipa-
ton. They correct this unnatural and
dangerous condition by gently assisting
the sluggish bowels and torpid liver to
regain their normal activity. Their action
is gentle, but effective and thorough, and
they do not cause single grippe. Unlike
harsh, strong purgatives, they do not up
set the stomach nor irritate and over
stimulate the bowels. Because they have
none of these evil effects, they can be
taken with entire safety until the consti-
patton is corrected.
TO simply regulate the bowels or TO
treat obstinate cases of constipation,
Pinklets are the ideal laxative. They
are safe for every member OF the family
to use. Get bottle today and start try
ing them. Any druggist can supply you
at rs cents per bottle.
