duties radically.
The republican party maintained
that the high cost Of living prevailed
all over the world. and occasioned as
much comment, or more, in other
countries as in the United States;
and that, as it was worldwide
phenomenon, the most sensible thing
to do was to carefully examine into
the cases of it and determine the true
remedy and then proceed in this coun-
to do our part in applying the remedy
This Is Enthusiastically the repub-
lican way OF meeting difficulty. the
constructive way, the way by which
good and lasting results are secured
and prosperity maintained. And the
republican party gave warning that to
sacrifice the tariff was not the way
to correct the high cost of living, but
was the way into greater difficulties
and serious distress.
But the democratic party used Its
power to enact its tariff under the
whip and spur of the President, and In
such shape as pleased the President.
tariff commission such as the repub-
lican party sought to establish and
which the welfare of the great inter
est of agriculture and OF all our people
urgently requires Now after six
months of this tariff. which the demo
cratic president and his party prom
ised would reduce the cost of living. it
is admitted that it has given no relief
70 the consumer and can scarcely be
expected to do so In the future The
defenders OF this democratic tariff are
hard pressed to find single instance
of the lowering Of prices of any food
products to the consumers in the cities

that the republican rates OF duty
would have to be sacrificed.

TIMELY ADVICE.

The state bureau OF health in New
York has issued the following instruc-
tons to the people of that state:
1. Allow no garbage, soiled news
papers. trash or dirt of any kind to
accumulate in the cellar area or yard,
2. Keep all drains clean and I'M
obstructed.
8. Have a covered garbage can and
wash it daily with strong solution
OF washing soda. Remove the garbage
as often as required.
4. Cover all windows and doors
with wire netting.
5. Keep the kitchen clean and do
not allow food OF any kind to remain
uncovered, particularly milk, pud
dings, and custards, as bacteria mul
tipiy rapidly in such foods. Use
covered sugar bowl. and keep all
cakes, pastry and sweets OF all kinds
covered, for flies are very fond OF
sugar.
s. Do not allow vegetable or fruit
parings or tea leaves to remain in
the kitchen sink or have soiled kit
chen towels or table napkins lying
around.
7. Remove all food and soiled
dishes from the dining room table
altar meals. Wash the dishes prompt.

9. See that the plumbing is in good
condition and have the toilets clean
and well flushed out.
10. Empty dirty water from the
wash basins. STOP jars, etc, in the
bedrooms.
II. Do not allow soiled clothes to
lie around, but wash them out prompt
".
~. II cuspidors are used, empty
them daily and wash with strong so
luton OF washing soda and allow
some of the solution to remain in the
cuspidor.
10. Take particular car OF the sick
room and the patient.
This is simply common sense boiled
down to a concrete form. Every
household in this country should paste
a copy OF these rules in conspicu-
Gus place in the house and then dill.
gently observe them.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The demo
cratic administration has been in
power for little over year. Its
tariff has been in effect little more
than six months. The democratic
promise was that 1t would help the
consumer" 1t has not done SO
Meanwhile 1t has hurt The farmer by

A recent report Of the department
OF agriculture of the United States
practically admits tina. in our country
today the incentive to more farming
and better farming is wanting This
report from The department bureau OF
statistics says:
However desirable increased pro-
duction of farms may be from the
consumers standpoint, it does not fol
low that such increased production
would result in any increase In the
cash income per farm or per capita OF
farm population, or tina. prices paid
by consumers would be any lower.
Then what is the benefit OF the
democratic tariff to anybody? Sena-
cor Penrose. In a recent speech In the
senate, commenting upon situation
SO contrary to democratic prediction
and promise. said:
The democratic tariff threw away
many duties and reduced duties all
along the line on manufactured art
icles: and yet the greatest feature OF
this tariff is that it has put farm pro-
ducts practically on the free list at
one blow. This was one of the great
objects OF the democratic tariff. A
great deal of popular excitement had
daen aroused about what is known as
the hign cost OF living, ana the demo
cratic party maintained that this was
caused by the republican tariI-es-

duc:s-and that the only thing to do

the committee will be called together

/ There Is a dispute between the edi-

That what say is true
Don't tell me that this worlds I'M

It amt the world-it's you!
You say the world has used You bad,
And caused you tears and woe.
Ana made your days depressed and
sad,
But, friend. 1t isn't so!
The world is full Of Joy today.
And woes are mighty few;
Just stop and think. and you VIII say
It amt the world-it's you
You tell me that the world IS hard,
That gladness isn't here;
That happiness and love are barred.
And folks are not sincere.
You say the world treats you with
scorn, /;
And that it's tickle. too,
But just as sure as you are born,
1t amt the world-it's you!
You think this world an awful bore,
That it is small and mean;
We've often heard that yarn before,
When things were all serene
But, honest Injun now, old scout,
When with that wall you're through,
You'll find without bit OF doubt
1t amt the world-it's you!
We're always prone. when in the
dumps,
To blame the world. and say
II only gives US kicks and thumps
AS we go on our way.
Bat she's a mighty good world yet,
So take this little cue.
And quit your knocking-you can bet
