The usual objection to hot baths is that the bather takes cold unless he goes straight to bed as soon as he has dried himself. Otherwise, so they say, he goes on perspiring and takes chill. Now this is due not to having had a hot bath. but because the water was not hot enough when the bather got out of it. Hot water has the same eff feet as cold in bracing up the sweat pores and preventing them from con tinuing to pour out unnecessary per spiration. Lukewarm water, on the other hand, leaves the skin lax and moist, and it is then that people are liable to chills. The best temperature at which to take hot bath is 100 de- grees Fahrenheit, or just below that. If more water is added afterward it should be hot, not cold. so as to main tain the temperature at the same level With the aid of these precautions 1t will be found that drying Is & simple process, and the skin Is left in a de- ligntful state without any undue per spiration to follow.

When watering hanging baskets. take a small can. punching hole in bottom just large enough for water to drip slowly. Fill and place in hanging basket. Refill this every morning and you will not have the trouble of your fern baskets drying out. as the water has a chance of slowly soaking into the earth instead of all running off as when 1t Is just poured in baskets. This method of course, refers to baskets In which moss is used or which do not retain water easily.

sives but because of the effect of
the Taft Roosevelt dispute and
dissatisfaction with the manner
in which the Republican Nation
al Convention at Chicago was
conducted, All of that has pass
ed and the party has proved that
it still possesses great vitality
and that the obituaries written
concerning its supposed demise
in 1912 were premature.
The tide against the Wilson
administration is, however,
stronger than it should have
been considering the general
tendency of the country toward
progressive policies and the
President record of achievement
in putting those policies into
statutes. Something in the con.
duct of the administration ap.
pears not to have pleased the
public fancy, other than the
enactment of the laws generally
known as the Wilson policies.
The business depression from
which the country has suffered
was a factor in the result. Il is
a well established rule that such
conditions always tell against
the party in power.

On last Monday morning it be
came known that the returns OF
the Moore's Hill or old 18th pre-
cinct of the 9th district had been
in some way removed from the
Office of the Chairman of the
Election Commission. The re.
turns as received were placed in
the vault of the Chancery Office
in the courthouse, but during the
day, and possibly at night, the
combination was not all the time
! fixed on the lock, as the Clerk &
Master has, during the day, to
step in and out, as all such of.
ficials do. However, the returns
might have been more closely
guarded had any danger to them
been feared, but the county had
so long been free from any at.

the commissioners had not the
slightest fear in that connection
In order to set up the vote, OF

Tuesday and there saw and got
the affidavits of all who assisted
in boiling the election, except
Bob Evans, one of the Regis

the vote as cast and counted.
On these affidayits, the vote Of
the Moore's Hill tox, has been
set up and counted by the Com

so doing.

commissioners were forced to
