Hints For The Home

Salt sprinkled with lemon juice
will remove iron rust. Wet the spots
with it and then hold over a vessel
of hot water.
If your hands perspire while sew
ing keep by you a flannel bag of
powdered alum with which to dust
the hands at intervals.
After cleaning a room leave the
windows and doors open, and do not
lay down carpets and rugs until the
boards are thoroughly dry.
Figs soaked in water over night and
eaten first thing in the morning, be-
fore other food, will often prove a

Handing Her Blossoms

Hand her blossom across the gray
miles,
Hand her blossom, and see how she
smiles.
Life brings the crosses, we all have
enough
Hand her blossom to smooth out
the rough!
Handing her blossoms,
Go home with them, men,
Till the world at your door
Blooms in beauty again!
Hand her a blossom-she hungers to
How lovely and tender and gentle
they grow.
Life brings her thorns by the dozen
each day
Hand her blossom to cheer the
long day!
Handing her blossoms,
Ah,so shall love bring
The doorway of winter,
The sunshine of spring!
Hand her a blossom, and little she'll
care
The toll she must take and the trou-
BILE to bear.
Life brings her heartache, you bring
her love
To shine like a star when her eyes
look above!
Handing her blossoms,
It's worth while to see
The glow of her cheeks
AS she leans unto thee!
Hand her a blossom and take home
a song;
Hand her a blossom to help her
along;
Life gives her loneliness, worry and
pain,
Love brings the light to her dear
heart again!
Handing her blossoms,
Oh, countless they'll grow
Sometime when the hearts of us.
Souls of us, know!

Will Wilson's Success BE His
UndOing.


raised a rather ingenious view OF
the Presidential issue of 1916, say
ing that it might nevertheless be
true that had Mr.. Wilson been a less
successful President, he might stand
a better chance for success as can
didate in the coming campaign. In
other words, the Republican believes
that success may bring failure.
On this point the New York Even
ing Post takes up the subject, and
after a careful review of President
Wilson's career and work as Presi-
dent declares that all Of the things
he has brought about are exactly
what the country has been clamor-
ing for for many years, and that
having finally forced them through
the country will maintain him in of
flee in recognition of his distinguish
ed services.
Summing up, the Evening Post
says:
"What effect has been, and will be,
produced upon Mr.. Wilson's repute
or popularity by his treatment of the
issues connected with the great war,
and by his policy in relation to
Mexico, it will be easier to judge
when the campaign of 1916 is on
L. =. p,,% -, of lrsc
it can safely be said that he was
successful beyond all expectation in
combining with the reasonable salts
faction of progressive sentiment a
service to the whole country, and
especially to its business interests,
of which it is difficult to overestimate
the value. We refer to his extraordi
nary achievement in bringing about,
with an instrument peculiarly diff
fcult to manage for such a purpose,
the long-sought establishment of a
sound banking system. To have held
Congress together until this was
done, and to have steered the Demo-
cratic party clear of the finincial
rocks for which so large part of it
had an incurable fondness, was not
only an achievement of the highest
merit, but one for which the country
is unanimously grateful. Whatever
divisions of sentiment have since
arisen as to foreign policy, or may
arise on the preparedness issue, Mr..
Wilson had won for himself, at the
close of his first year of office, u
position on the Philippine question at
his most sanguine advocates could
have counted on. 1t is barely con-
ceivable that he would have had a
better chance of being reelected if
somewhat like the man who aimed
so as to hit if it was a deer and miss
if it was a cow-he had been just
successful enough to win against a
divided opposition but not success
full enough to brighten the opposl-
ton into uniting. But it is morally
certain that his chances of reelection
are only strengthened, and not in any
way injured, by whatever he has
done to prove himself an able execu-
tive and a fit head of the American
nation"

DISEASES OF THE SOIL.

For the part of a generation, we have been hearing of the exhaustion of the soil in this country. Abandon ed farms in New England had to be given up because they returned such poor crops that their further cultiva- ton was not worth while. Imp portant elements for plant life and growth were said to have been ruth1essly taken from them by wastefu1 farming and never restored and it was prophesied that the same thing would happen to our great farming lands in the middle and far west. Thespop- ular impression existed that the earth beneath our feet was ian inanirnate mixing bowl out of which plants@ate as cattle feed from the trough. What was not put in could obviously not be taken out; and since chemical analysis proved tha9piants do absorb mineral plant food elements. the
 bowl must quite as obviously run
 empty, unless we, poured back as
 much as the crops took out" This seemed an eminently satisfactory theory. When the United States Bu-. reau of Soils undertook an investiga-= ton, however, it found no basis for the general deterioration of the soil thus suggested. It did find that
 properly cultivated soil increased in fertility in the course of time, but
 that certain changessin the soil, which
 might well be called ''diseases," were responsible for the lessenfng of the crops; further, these diseases could be treated rather readily, once they were recognized. The whole story
 has many analogies with certain theories of human diseases and with.
 many medical problems. : Out Of this investi gation has come the interest ing conclusion that the soil is not a
 dead set of minerals in a mixing bowl but organism having hitherto un-
 perceived nkenesses to the body of man. Cultivation seems to be to- the crop-bearing earth what exercise and air are to human beings, and there
 are probably laws of hygiene and
 sanitation quite applicable to the
 control of the soils health as to. that of mankind.
 A generation ago, chemistry and physics were everywhere invading the .bio1og1c domain and apparently l busting biology from her place as | mistress of the household and making it clear that living processes were due only to p1ysica, causes and eff fleets. Now biology is vindicating her claims ot only in her own proper
 field, but also in border1ands where physics and chemistry were thought
 to hold absolutely indisputable sway.
 The vital forces, in addition to re- claiming their own. says the Journal
 of the American Medical Association, n, are extending their realm. This lat est recognition of the soil itself as striking1y like living organism is
 not only scientifically valuable, but
 also eminently suggestive of the trend of modern science.

PLAZA

It was a merry, mirthfuI vaudeville programme that entertained patrons of the Plaza. at. yesterdays perform ance and everyone left the theatre with a smile that betokened satisfac- ton.
 Julia Rooney, one of the famous Roonsy family which has danced it's way to fame in the vaudeville world, assisted by Walter Clinton, a clever, c1ean-cut chap with a pleasing voice and q winning manner, and a bevy of pretty show girls, headed the bill and won favor from the start. The act is of the miniature musical ,me- dy type with several pleasing novel; ties introduced and everything in it is of the best. The song numbers are tunefuI. the dances gracefully put over and the costumes displayed by the girls are of handsome design. One feature of the act which deserves equipment for it is the most magnifi- cent ever seen in vaudeville pro duction locally.
 Jennings & Evers, a pair of clever lblack-face comics in a we'll arranged comedy singing slzit entitled ''TIl tell that at the party had little difficulty in winning enough applause to bring them back for three encores at the opening performance yesterday. Both boys are top-notchers when it comes to putting over parodies and odd chatter and the audience appreciated all of it.
 Scott & Marlxe in a unique comedy skft entitled ''The Model Couple won many laughs with their line of cross talk ensuing from a fit of jealousy on the part of the pretty wife. Their offering was well handled Kirk & Smith came off with big honors in the classiest novelty in the acrobatic line we have yet had the pleasure of wit messing. They work with an ease and grace that is exhilarating and it is altogether different from the ordinary acroba.tic sl1it.
 Robert Edeson was never more forceful or imposing in any of his suc- cesses on the legitimate stage than in the four part Mutual Masterpicture l 'sNEan's Prerogative'' in which he is assuming the leading role. He had 2 splendid vehicle and he took advant- age of all the opportunities it afford. ed him. The story concerns the dou- bIe standard of morals and is worked out along new lines. Other first-rur photop1ays including a Keystone com edy are shown in conjunction with the master picture.

KENTUCKY DERBY IS REAL
 CLASSIC OF AMERICAN TURI

When the spring race meeting
 opens tomorrow in Louisville, with
 the Kentucky Derby as the big fea-
 ture of the gathering of the gee-gees
 the vanishing disciples of the sport
 of kings and colonels will have an opportunity to see the real classic
 of the American turf. The Kentucky Derby is not and never was, worth
 as much to winning owners as many
 other events which have been staged
 on American tracks. To those whose
 enthusiasm for the racing game is
 measured in terms of dollars and cents the Kentucky Derby does not loom large in turf history. They will tell you of the tremendous stakest paid during the palIny days of racing in New York-of the $5o,O0o Amer jean Derby of 1893, when 5000 peo-
 pie filled Washington Park in Chi i cago.
 There have been some memorable
 races on the tracks of New York, Chi cago, St. Louis, Hot Springs, New Or leans, Mexico, California and Canada, but there is an intangible something the spirit of the game-which how.
 CTS over the courses of the Blue Grass state and gives an added thrill of 1oy to the man whose love for the sport has its seat in his heart, rather than
 his pocketbook- The Kentucky meets
 attract their full quota of gamblers
 and touts and crooked owners and
 purchaseabIe jockeys and others of that dubious crew who have contriYed
 to scutt1e the sport in many other
 sections of America The spectators
 at the Kentucky Derby appear little
 different to the nude and casual eve
 from the crowds at other and dis tant tracks. The sartoria1 effects which distinguish the Blue Grass colonel of fiction are not much in eyi-
 dence. Give it the once-over, and
 Churchill Downs might be located in the Vicinage of Brooklyn or Montreal
 But pretty soon, if you are a lover of hoss-flesh, and you begin to sense the difference. It isn't so definite that you can put your finger on it, or inn pale it on a pin and hold it up for
 examination by the clear light of sci ence, but all the same it is there And you realize that, quite regardless of the amount of money hung up
 by a benign management, and in spite of all the efforts of the sharpers to drag the game down to their level.
 racing in Kentucky is still a sport, almost a religious rite, and not a 1 mere gambling proposition.
 This annum's Kentucky Derby is
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-05-07

the forty-nrst renewal of this great est of American three-year-old events The Derby has always been race fun of thrills and surprises. In. 1875 the first Kentucky Derby was cap tured by Aristides, who won from Volcano and Verdigris, long shots in the betting. All the dope was up- set, for the 'swise money had been put on Chesapeake. This animal, rid den by the celebrated jockey. Bob Swim, was considered a certainty, but he finished outside the money. The derby crowd was treated to another surprise party in 1878, when Hfmyar, the favorite, was defeated by Day Star Tn 1880 Kimball was picked by the crowd, but FNonso left him behind with ease. Apollo, 8-to-1 shot, captured the classic in 1882. The few who backed Montrose in 1887 copped a pot of money, for the win ner was quoted at 2Q-tp-1, while Jim Gore was the favor1te- The follow ing year another hot tip, Galliflet, was beat out by Macbeth IT. Tn 1889 the bookmakers reaped another har- vest, for the big money was on Proc tor Knott, quoted at 1-to-3, and the victory went to a 10-to1 shot, Spo- kane Later Spokane again proved his supremacy over Sam Rryant's S horse in the Chicago American Derby Many other long shots have won the Kentucky classic, including Elwood in 1894 and Stone Street in 1908, both at 15-to-1.

An1uScnrentS
EMPIRE

For years tho American stage
 awaited a drama which could tell the
 story of a modern corporation office fin a, big city. The time clock, the
 telephones, the typewriters, the green
 eyeshades and stomach aprons of the
 bookksepers were material which
 long lay awaiting the master hand.
 The girl accustomed to certain
 chivaIry from men in her past life
 finds in business such chivalry ceases
 to exist: the middle-aged millionaire
 who affects youthful tailoring and
 perfume sprays; the hundred and one
 types collected and transformed by
 modern business methods-an these
 awaited the master understanding
 In Help Wanted'' the dramatist dove into the waiting heap to the very elbow. On the opening nights in both New York and Chicago the audiences fairly gaped at the uncanny
 reality of the characters that walked across the stage before them; fairly gasped with Wonderment- at the sIedgehammer~ significance of the words they spoke. It was something new; something never given them
 before; something taken from right
 beside them and held up in their faces to see. At last the American
 business office, an institution as pecu- liar to this country as the cotton gin or the Mccormick binder, has been l "done.'' In the motion picture pro
 duction of the noted play by the Oliver Morosco Paramount Photoplay company there have been many op- Dortunities even to amplify these ef- feots over and above what was pos sibIe under stage limitations. This extraordinary feature will head the all feature program at keeney's Elm pire theatre, Friday, and Saturday.

POLES

If real hearty laughs mean anything in your young life, you owe 1t to your self to see Imhof, Conn & Coreene in Surgeon Louder, U. S. Az at Polis These favorites of vaudeville in a brand new sketch that is riotously funny head a, very excellent program of vaudeville and photoplay features.
 Surgeon Louder, G. S. Az is just about the funniest military travesty that was ever staged, and gives a most pleasing vehicle for Imhoff, Conn & Coreene.s MT. Imhom is a superb com erian. and he is most ably supported by MT. Conn and Miss Coreene. The skft is a laugh from start to finish and the climax is "a Knockout as the stage folks say.
 Sylvia Loyal and Her Pierrot con- tributed something new to vaudeville. The young lady is versatile and com pines some thrilling wire feats with juggling. The climax wherein TO pig cons are liberated in flights over the heads of the audience gives a pretty and surprising finish 10 this novelty.
 The feature photoplay proved of un- usual interest, in that it brings back Mime. Olga PetroVa, the distin nguished emotional actress who is now a lead ing screen star. Mime. Petrova is seen in t"The Heart of a Painted woman ,'' a gripping dramatic photoplay rep1eta with thrilling situations and contain ing a real heart interest," theme. The photop1ay is we'll worth seeing.
 The Venetian Trio, three young men who are good instrumentalists as well as vocal soloists, were highly pleasing in their repertoire of operatic and pop ular music, while Lang and Cotter, in 'sA Darktown Fro1ic,' proved them selves versatile comedians, singers and dancers.
 Ward and Cullen, a clever young man and pretty young woman in songs and a piano1ogue, pleased immensely, and Fred and Annie Relot in 'tSeldum Inn had a real novelty in which the young lady did some good juggling and her partner proved himself a fun ny comedian.
