Restoring Kid Gloves.

and a piece of old CASTLE soap. Pull
the gloves out straight and lay them
fat on folded towel. Dip a piece Of
the flannel into the skimmilk, rub 1t
on the soap and begin washing the
gloves, rubbing toward the finger tips.
When the flannel shows signs Of being
soiled throw 1t into warm water 30
soak and take a fresh piece. Work all
over the gloves In this way until the
flannel shows no sign Of dirt; then
wiring out a piece Of clean flannel In

the gloves over again. Then they
should be left between the folds Of a
fresh towel until the next day. The

FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL
COMMISSION
BY Peter Radford.

The recent investigation of the
United States Commission Of Indus
trial Relations brought together the
extremes of society and has given the
public an opportunity to view the rep
resentatives of distinct classes, side
by side, and to study their views In
parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
glazing at each other over CULTS of
misunderstanding and If the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, it will render the
public a distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furn-
ishing the sinews of war and it is
quite gratifying to find them talking
with, instead of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each others souls, it always makes
the world better and far more salts
factory to the farmer, who In the end,
bears the burden Of conflict, than
resolutions, speeches or pamphlets
containing charges and counter
charges.
The love for justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding Is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates of government, for there Is
no authority quite SO commanding ss

cree quite 30 binding as that of the
Supreme Court Of Common Sense and

THE BATTLE Of
THE TIRES

agricultural and Commercial Press Service1
1t is interesting to watch the forces
Of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the TWEEN
tieth Century.
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
f1ict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen.
erations than the war Of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver.
years and has captured a few unim-
portant positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurting a mil
lion ''iitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re-
treat, its doom is sealed, but if it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation.
If the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth is on, for iron is the IN
disputed master in transportation, and
~ fortified behind billions of dollars,
aNd millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but it was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands Of
steel. 1t took the iron tire fifty-fve
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys-
ses. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power Of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is stubborn metal and
it has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the NORWOOD
Of defeat, and when rubber hurls it's
full force against this monarch of
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov-
cry.
The rubber tire first made it's ap-
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. 1t has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as a utility ma
chine and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland, it is enchanting to note
that there will be a marvellous differ
ence between a rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why city? 1t will traverse the con-
tinent with a net work Of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule-
ward built by Napoleon. 1t will par
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?

POISONOUS SNAKES.
They Are Absolutely Proof Against
Their Own or Other Venom.

Their Own or Other Venom.
Snake venom Is a transparent fluid,
yellowish In color and Of about the
consistency of human saliva. When
dried it takes the form of faky yellow
crystals. In this shape or dissolved In
alcohol or glycerin it will remain I'M
altered and will preserve its poisonous
properties for an indefinite period. No
satisfactory chemical analysis has ever
been made Of it, but it seems to be
very complex albuminous compound.
A curious discovery recently made Is
that the blood Of venomous serpents Is
itself poisonous, containing as it does
the principles that are concentrated in
the secretion of the venom glands.
Venomous snakes are themselves alb
solutely venom proof. Rattlesnakes
dosed by injection with large quaint
ties Of their own or other venom have
shown not the slightest Ill effects. An
other remarkable fact Is that serpent
venom is harmless to human beings or
other animals If taken internally. The
late DR.. s. Weir Mitchell found that
one-fourth Of a drop of rattlesnake
poison would kill a pigeon if given by
hypodermic injection, but pigeon fed
with six drops a day for three success
sive days suffered not at all In conse-
Quence.
Professor Mangili, a pioneer investi-
gator In this line, had an assistant
who boldly swallowed all the venom
that could be extracted from four large
vipers. No bad effecty followed. The
same negative result was noted by
Professor Baird, at that time secretary
Of the Smithsonian institution, who ate
the venom glands Of a rattlesnake. As
recently ascertained, serpent venom In
such circumstances is harmless, be-
cause it cannot pass through the mu-
cous membrane that lines the stomach,
and 1t undergoes changes during d.
gestion that allow it to enter tie blood
as an innocuous substance. - Every
