Don'ts for Husbands.

Don't begin making excuses Mon
day when you want to stay out Fri
day or Saturday evening. 1t arouses
suspicion. The quick and unexpected
getaway is safer.
Don't criticise the style in which
she does up her hair
Don't speak an admiring word of
your neighbours pretty wife.
Don't swear in the house. Get out
behind the barn.
Don't fail to admire the hat that
she makes herself Encourage her
as much as possible whether you like
the hat or not. That's the way to
get rich.

"A soldier rode each mans back; there

The Dynamite Habit.

Men may risk their lives by going
up in shaky airships or by making
faces at champion prize fighters, but
there is no excuse for the man who
pocket This is what David Tut of
West Virginia did, and now they are
trying to put him together in a hos
pital by gradually assembling the
parts and he may recover.
Tut carried two large sticks of
he was hit by a train. Being hit by
a train ought to furnish enough ex-
element for the ordinary individual,
but Tut was evidently out to break
the record, which he did, as well as
about everything else in sight.
The carrying out of dynamite in
pockets is a habit that should be
frowned upon as a general rule. A
man is apt to forget that he has
bomb i'm his coattail pocket and sit
down suddenly in a street car. This
is liable to be very embarrassing to
the rest of the passengers who find
themselves suddenly floating over
through store fronts with more speed
than grace, followed by an assort-
ment of car wheels, ticket punches,
transformers, motors, motermen and
conductors.
Then again, he might be crossing
field and be attacked by ferocious
goat or hooked by a COW. 1t takes
very little to arouse dynamite to
passion, and when it gets mad 1t Is
a cinch that something is going to
happen 1t is almost as dangerous
to carry as the revolver that isn't
loaded, and the habit of toting it
about promiscuously should be legis-
latest against 1t is decidedly an Euro
pean sport, and has no place in Amer
lea.

Granefruit Seeds.

The pretties kind of "greenery"
for the dining room table is made by
planting the seeds of grapefruit, sow
ing them very thickly. In about a
fortnight, if the earth has been wa
tered daily and Kept in warm place.
the tiny shoots appear; in another
fortnight the leaves begin to unfold
and soop there is a mass of rich, glossy
green, which is not affected by gas
or furnace heat, as so many of the
delicate ferns are. This will outlast a
dozen ordinary ferneries, and it has
the added virtue of being inexpensive.

The Useful Marsh1naIIow.

Marshmallows are useful in emer-
gencieS.
They will keep we'll if put in a
glass jar and placed in dry closet.
When eggs are lacking for frosting.
cut marshmalloWs in halves and place
between layers of any light cake;
scatter a few over top, then set cake
in moderately hot oven until top is
partially melted.
When there is a small section of
spice cake left and more is desired in
a hurry cut cake in squares size of
marshmallows place on top of each
piece, place in warm oven until two
hold together.
Marshmallow dropped on the top of
hot cup of cocoa takes place of
whipped cream; also saves time.
. For novelty ice cream, use chocolate
as flavoring, and, as it freezes, stir in
a quantity of quartered marshmal-
lows.
In making fruit salad, use quartered
Inarshmallows with pieces of diced
fruit; made this way it is not so rich
and many prefer it to ordinary salad.

Thomas Jefferson

There k time in the year when democrats of all factions brought into accord. There is thing upon which all of them can agree and that is that Thomas Jefferson the founder of their party and model for all good democrats But there is thing concerning which democrats cannot and that is the interpretation of the teachings of Jefferson. The most conservative well the most radical of democrats pretend to square their conduct with Jeffersonian principles Both cannot he right and probably neither conser- vative radical is right
 It is foolish as well idle to inquire what great statesman would have said done if he had lived in later generation. It is ridiculous to claim that any political party of today is the political party of fifty hundred years A political party maintain some policy that was ad- Noeated by the leaders of party of the same name a half century when reason for such a policy existed though reason for such policy may now exist. Such modern party policies are mere fetichcs Tor holding the members of the party together.
 Whether Jefferson, if living woud be democrat do not know any more than We know whether President Wilson if living at the time O; Jefferson would have subscribed to his doctrines whether Lincoln, if living would be publican

 Eighty per cent of any registered vote is an unusually heavy indicating intense interest m the issues that have been presented for settlement: We believe it is record vote.
