It will be noted that the democrats
have more than two to one OF the en-
tire membership OF the house. Will
they be able to keep this preponder-
ous majority Assuredly not. But
how much will they lose. VIII the
loss In November be SO great as to
put them in q minority And who
will gain most by the democratic
losses, the republicans or the progress
sives? Opposition leaders, even in
private conversation. where ostenta-
tious boasting is not called for by any
political expediency, claim that tbs
democrats VIII lose the house. To
any less temperamentaI observer this
seems absurd 1t would be conceiv-
able, Of courss, II the opposition to
the democrats were united, but 1t Is
not united and will not be. In every
congressional district in the United
States, except possibly few demo
cratic strongholds In the south, there
will be republican and a progressive
running against the democrat. Even
so, the democrats are sure to lose q
large number of the seats they now
hold Whether their loss will be
large enough to amount to vote Of
lack OF confidence in the democratic
party Is question whose answer will
not appear until November.

OF it's capacity.
In the Pittsburgh district, each

worse than the week before. Reports
to the Nsw York Sun show that at
the United States Steel Corporation
mills, at Farrell. Pa, the March ousi-
ness booked fell far below expecta-
tons and that consequently prices are
not as firm as they wsre in the first
few months Of the year. The same
report says that the curtailment OF

to confirm the ass srtion that current

CAN CHANGE ARBITRATION


That voter may change his parry
aflliation on the day OF the primary
In very easy and simple manner. is
the interesting information that has
Just been publicly announced from the
ONCE OF Attorney General Cosson.
Following the statement issued from
the attorney general some time ago
relative to the change of party at
filiation by filing an affidavit with the
county auditor, his attention was
called to subsequent legislative en-
actment. Such provides for the change
Of party afiliation on the day OF the
primary election.
In a letter under date Of May 21st,
Mr. C. A. ROBBINS, assistant attorney
general, points out the easy manner
which democrats or republicans who
have stra. ID from their party at
filiation may set back into The fold
before casting their votes. He points
out that section 10S7-Ss Of the code
supplement reads:
ANY elector whose party amlia-
ton has been recorded as provided by
this act and who desire to change
/ his party utilization on the primary
election day shall be subject to chal-
fenge II the person challenged In
sists that he h entitled to vote the
ticket OF the political party to which
he has transferred his political af-
filiation and the challenge is not
withdrawn. one OF the judges shall
tender to him the following oath: You
do solemnly swear Cor afnrm) that you
have in good faith changed your party
aftiliation to and desire to be mem
Der OF the party. And IL he
.akes such oath he shall thereupon be
given a ticket Of such political party
and the clerks Of the primary election
shall change his enrolment Of party
afiliation accordingly
Commenting on this section, Mr..
Robbins SAYS:
"In my judgment. one whose party
afiliasion has already been recorded
may by taking the prescribed oath se-
forth above change his party anlia-
ton on primary day"

Mrs Ware touched upon the teach
ing Of sex hygiene to children, saying
that she believed the place to teach
it is in the home and not in the
school. She said in addition that the
obedience exacted of children by the
parents should be definite and that
parents should not bottle up the en-
ergy of their children but should en-
courage and share them.
THE child must learn by doing, -
she continued, because God gave the
child hunger of mind to know. and
the child's imagination should be
stimulated in a wholesome way"
The club will hold its next meeting

The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Remedy
Easily and Cheaply Made At
Home. Saves You SO.

This plan makes a pint of cough
svrup-enough to last a family a long
time. You couldn't buy as much or as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost in
slant relief and usually cOnquers an
ordinary cough in - hours This is
partly due to the fact that IL is slightly
laxative, stimulates the appetite and
has an excellent tonic effect. It is
pleasant to take-children like it. An
excellent remedy, too, for whooping
cough, spasmodic Group and bronchial
asthma.
Mix one pint of graduated sugar with
u pint of warm water. and stir for ?
minutes. Put 212 ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in a pint bottle and add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take teaspoohful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one of the oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is a most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural healing elements. Other
preparations will not work in this
combination.
The prompt results from this mixture
have endeared it to thousands of house
wives in the United States and Canada,
which explains why the plan has been
initiated often, but never successfully.
A guarerty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
