great agricultural States OF the West,
but even there the reaction against
Democracy was unmistakable.
THE issue in 1916 will be squarely
on the tariff and on the legislation of
the Democratic party
1.-THE revolt against Democracy is
not confined to business men. Labor
indicated very clearly in the last cleo
ton that il understood its own pros
berity is inextricably wound up with
the prosperity of business, and that
unemployment and reduced wages in
evitably follow Democratic tariff
tinkering.
Both labor and business will
unite in a common cause in 1915, the
protection OF their own interests. and
will join hands in returning the Re
publican party to power. The Wilson
administration has been essentially
an nti-business administration.

ing double braid across the back Of
the head, But the arrangement of the
braids must depend upon the length Of
the hair. If it is very long they will
be coiled and pinned down at the back
of the head or wrapped about 1t. The
feature to be noted In this couture
especially is the fact that the hair
is brought forward so that the braids
begin above the ears.
To dress the hair In this way sue
cessfully requires that it be first made
fluffy. A small support is needed to
keep the pompadour in place. A
scant supply of natural hair may be
dressed in this way by using two short
switches in the braids at the sides.

Warm.Weather story.

Returning from a fishing trip at
night, Alexander McCarey, who lives
In a Connersville suburb, saw two
white figures moving across grassy
common. He halted, thinking of ghost
stories half forgotten, and dropped be-
hind clump q willow. The figures
moved nearer. McCarey peeped from
his hiding place and saw two girls.
clad in garments which. he says, were
thinner than the thinnest mist. They
sat on little mound of stones, within
ten feet of him and discussed the heat
of the night, which was uncommonly
high.
McCarey listened and watched, be-
ing, he said, quite unable to get away.
Presently one of the damsels re.
marked: Say, Dora, what II some

Coffee AlIs Vanish Before Postum.

II seems almost too good to be
true, the way headache. nervousness,
insomnia, and many other obscure
troubles vanish when coffee is dis

which causes the trouble, but Postum

A Phila. man grew enthusiastic and

When bought the first land on

acres cost me $4,000. To my knowl-

who came to the sanatorium in sound

UTILIZE SHADE TREE LEAVES
Leaf Mold Is Especially Valuable for
Increasing Moisture Holding
Ability OF Soils.

(By B. o. LONGYEAR. Colorado Expert
ment Station)
In most towns and cities autumn
brings with 1t the pungent odor of
burning leaves, the smoke of which
settles like choking pail over the
streets and homes. The yard clean
ing days of spring are likewise
marked with the incense Of smoking
vegetable matter that is being Gre
mated along streets and alleys. In
stead of smudging themselves and
their neighbors, the inhabitants Of our
towns who own shade trees can often
make far better use Of the fallen
leaves by composing them. The high
degree Of fertility usually noticed in
newly cleared lands which have been
covered with forests Of broad-leaf
trees is mainly due to the abundance
Of leaf mold which the soil contains.
This mateHal is especially valuable
for increasing the moisture-holding
ability Of light soils and for improving
the texture Of clay soils Florists use
leaf mold, where obtainable, for mix
Ing with their potting soils, and 1t Is
of equal value tn the flower bed. the
vegetable garden and the field.
In our semlarid regions, leaf mold
does not readily form without little
care being given to the matter. The
leaves may be stored In a large bin
in some shady or secluded corner of
the yard. or even In pit dug in the
earth. They should be packed in
tightly and kept moist by an occa'
sional wetting with the hose, or, IL In
a pit, from the irrigating ditch. They
may be spaded or plowed directly into
the garden.
Leaves also form fair substitute
for straw in bedding the horse and
will add to the value of the manure
for fertilizing purposes.
In case none of these uses can be
made Of the fallen leaves, some local
market gardener or farmer who
knows their value may be given the
privilege of hauling them away to
use on his fields or in the compost
heap.
The older nations OF the WORLD
have learned to utilize every bit Of
waste vegetable matter In some such
way, and although intensive agricul
ture is perhaps not yet so imperative
in this country, this utilization of dead
leaves is in line with the growing
sentiment for the conservation Of sol
fertility.

onions and other things good to eat
How many of these tablets she had al
ready pulverized and grown into
onions, no one will ever know. This
time a man saw her basket load and
felt curiosity about these queer lit
tie cakes of clay. He bought them all
for trife and showed them to an
Egyptian who bought and sold antiqui-
ties, and he bought them for another
trife. He could not imagine what they
might be, but thought they surely
were something. He went to an Amer
lean friend, the Reverend Chauncy
Murch. He saw at glance that the
mud cakes were tablets covered with
the wedge-shaped writing Of the Baby
lonians and Assyrians. He could not
read the writing, but he knew that
such tablets found in Egypt must be
important and at once give informa-
ton to the world of scholars. In few
weeks the enterprise Of museum au-
thorities, the cupidity of native an
tiquity dealers and even international
jealousies were stirred up over these
little bits Of clay to an amaziL. de-
gree. After some unseemly SQUAD
bling, in which some of the tablets
were broken up by the natives In order
to distribute their value around
among themselves, the whole lot was
divided for the most part between the
British museum, the Berlin museum
and the Cairo museum. with a few
scattered elsewhere.
All this time no one had read the
tablets, but expectation concerning
them was not disappointed. Thus was
brought to the world of Bible students
the Tel-el-Amarna tablets. the most
important discovery for the land of the
Book since the beginning Of archaeo-
logical research there. These tablets
tell us more about the ancient political
geography of Canaan than all other
sources put together; they have made
known to us that the old Canaanite
language was In reality Hebrew, or
the Hebrew, Canaanite; that the peas
ant speech Of that day was practically
identical with the peasant speech Of
the land now; that the official Ian
guage Of Canaan then was the Baby
lonian and the method of writing, the
wedge-shaped writing called cunei-
form; that, though Canaan was then
a province of Egypt. SO great was the
Babylonian influence In the land that
official correspondence with the Egyp-
tian imperial government was in the
Babylonian tongue and method Of
writing; that thus early. $50 years be-
fore the time Of Moses, there was
great literary advancement among
even the people Of Canaan. with a
wide diffusion of education among all
classes; and, last of all. that there was
ruling at Jerusalem line Of kings
with titles strangely like the title Of
Melchizedek, without father and with
out mother"
Such was the discovery of the Tel
el-Amarna tablets. It was the open
ing of door into another and much
older ancient literary world In Bible
lands.
