Modern Gsrls.

Our modern girls are talented
in fifty seven ways: I'm full of
admiration when [ watch their
skillful plays. One damsel wears
her brothers clothes and at the
tennis court convinceS all the
lockers on that she's a nifty
sport: another drives motor
car with wondrous grace and
ease. and runs down a pedestrian
and breaks him at the knees;
another takes her fountain pen
and writes gripping book; they
all are wonders in their way, but
mighty few can cook! I read of
girls on aeroplanes, and girls
who practice ,aw, and dentist
girls who dig the teeth from out
your aching jaw: and preacher
girls, and painter girls are every
where | look; they re demonstrate
ing lots of things-but mighty
few can cook. And IN million
gloomy homes good grub is be
ing spoiled, and wives are busy
frying things which rightly
should be boiled; they're busy
baking loaves of bread as hard
as brick or stone; they ruin ev-
erything they touch, while heart
sick husbands groan; thev do not
know a chicken from buzzard
or a rook; there great on elocu-
ton, but they don't know how to
cook Oh, | am full of sympathy,
my good old bosom aches, for
husbands VINO must fill them
selves with charred and stringy
steaks, who once had dreams of
pleasant home and cheerful ingle-
nook, and hooked up with the
gifted girls who never learned to
cook.-Walt Mason.

We have long been an admirer
of Senator LaFollette' sturdy
attitude in his endeavors to bring
the Republican party to accept
his progressive ideas of political
economy, but when we see him
voting with the Democrats on a
free trade bill, we cannot but
mourn him as one who has stray
ed away into byways where no
one calling himself a Republican
should be found. AS presiden-
tial possibility on the Republican
ticket Senator LaEollette may no
longer be considered, for his vote
) on the tariff has closed that gate
to him forever. His acceptance
of the Democratic tariff bill places

Quality Of Water Important.

The quantity of water used i'll
modern human industry is so
vast, its applications are so var
led, and it's essential character
istics are so distinctive that
water may be considered the
most important mineral used in
the industrial arts. Immense
quantities of water are necesSa-
ry for many manufacturing
operations. Every pound of
writing paper made, for in
stance, has required the use of
no less than 40 pounds of water,
and in some paper mills as mucl
as 1900 pounds.
The quality of water best suit
ed for use in any particular in
'dustry is also matter of con-
siderable moment. An iron
bearing water cannot be used in
a bleachery without previous
purification. 4 calcic carbon
ate water is undesirable in
leather making, as it causes
brown stains on the hides and
may also produces "a reddis h
leather which has Il low market
value.
The quality of the water used
in the steam boiler is Of interest
to the engineer because upon it
the profitable production Of
steam in large measure depends.
The life of the boiler is in no
small degree determined by the
care taken to supply it with
proper feed water. With a non
corrosive water which does not
form a hard scale stationary
boiler may last 30 to 35 years,
but a corr osive water may make
it useless in 5 years.
Many waters, especially spring
waters. are comparatively free
from mineral matter in solution
are known to be strongly cor
rosive when used in steam boil
ers. Free acids, such as hydro.
! chloric, sulphuric, and nitric.
are very corrosive, attacking
iron easily, and waters contain
ing them must therefore be
neutralized before they can

TWINS HELD CRYING MATCH
Boys Adopted Ruse Whereby They
Sought to Compel Parents to Give
Them Their Gifts.

The editor OF q publication devoted

that the best sort OF funny stun"

child-a remark with which all fond
parents will coincide. Made by man,
humor is prone to be machine-made.
but the humor of children 10 unin-
territorial. All OF which leads up to
an incident chronicled by Q father
recently.
There are two children in tbs fam
ily-tWo boys. They are twins. Every
year they have received sweets on
their birthday. This year the wait for
the goodies was seemingly longer
than ever before, and each pleaded
that the favor be handed out on the
night before their birthday
The father. believing that sufficient
unto the day is the good as we'll as
the evil thereof, declined to deliver
the trophies before the sun arose.
And just as earnestly as he refused,
just as earnestly did the boys plead.
Finally. in desperation, he sent them
to bed
Mother had tenderly tucked the Gov
ers around them, turned down the
light. and rejoined father. when a
great crying sounded from the bed
room, to which no attention was paid
This crying continued for some time
and then came a lull. in which the
parents heard the crying boy remark
to his brother:
Come on now. Ray, you cry some:

\ late government report
states that the corn crop has
been cut 621, ,OO0,O0O bushels
short, and that the crop will
yield two and one third million
bushels. This yield will un-
doubtedly be enough to supply
the normal demand for the next
twelve months, though unfortu-
nately some sections of the coun-
try will be compelled to pay a
high premium on their supply be-
cause of the local shortage.
Those who have are always ready
to take advantage of the necessi-
ties of those who have not. How
ever, the time must surely come
when the necessities of the peo-
pie will not be made the opportu
nifty and incentive for private
gain, and the people of sections
suffering misfortune as the re
suit of conditions over which
they had no control, will have
their necessities supplied at the
lowest rather than at the highest
costs. This will be when a pa
ternal government considers the
welfare of the people paramount
to individual interest. Our far
