So far as party tactics are concerned
the method by which these men can
be met and beaten Is easy. 1t will con-

repudiated in the West and they have
all but lost their hold in New England.

years more the Democrats can carry

Needles Made of Bone.

The needle is one of the very OLD
domestic instruments. The earliest
were probably of bone. Steel needles,
close upon the modern style, were
made by the Moors at very early
period, and there is a record of their
introduction into England in the four
teenth century that the matchmaking
industry became quite an important
one in England, and companies were
formed for making them. Needles
made of fish bone, bone of other ami
mails and also ivory, sometimes hav-
ing an eye at one end and sometimes
having an eye in the middle, have been
found among the refuse of the cave
dwelling peoples of Europe. The ma
chinery now employed in making nee
dies of the many kinds used in sew
ing is quite as wonderful as the ma
chinery used in making the pins that
the world uses SO recklessly.-Wash-

FOR TARIFF GRAFT

Stories Of How Europe Is Ready to
Flood This Country With Cheap
Goods After the War, Put For

Signs multiply that "the interests"
are planning to impress congress and
the public with an alleged necessity
Of revising the tariff upward.
We shall hear wondrous tales of how
Europe is making ready to dump" all
sorts Of goods upon the American mar
ket the moment the war ends. and
how enormously wars discipline has
increased Europe's industrial eff
cheney.
+ Doubtless the wars pressureS will
have increased the average efficiency
Of it's undisabled survivors. Moreover,
the war will leave Europe with labor
plentiful in relation to capital, and
with workers so impoverished as to be
compelled to accept low wages. But
to efficient labor must be given the
best tools before it's competition can
become formidable. Europe must re-
build wrecked mills and replace ma
chinery worn out by wars abuse before
Europe can set out on recOnquest Of
world markets.

countries unravaged by war can be I'M
dertaken.
What the old tariff grafters want Is
the Aldrich schedules. Nothing less
will satisfy them.
In this situation it would be we'll for
the Democratic leaders to remember
that the most effective defense is to
take the offensive first. Let them pick
out few tariff schedules that need
further reduction and reduce them.
There are several such schedules.
That move would give the tariff boost
ers so much to think about that we
should probably hear no more Of the
intimidation plan now preparing.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overc0mes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. It
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.

Xmas Candle and Lamps

Uric Acid Poisoning?

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up In the
system Is the cause Of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison Is present In
the joints, muscles, or nerves. BY ex-
perimenting and analysis at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute In
Buffalo, N. Y, DR.. Pierce discovered a
combination of native remedies that he
called Anuric-which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and in this
way the pain, swelling and infamma-
ton subside. If you are sufferer from
rheumatism, backache, pains here or
there, you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from the
pains and Ills brought about by uric
acid; or send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial
pkg. Anuric which you will find many
times more potent than lithia and
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince you.

Teaching and Learning.

There Is more than a verbal differ
ence between "learn" and ''teach."
There Is vital difference. Education
comes by learning, not by teaching.
And what Is learning? 1t is the ex-
perience Of the spirit. We learn by
doing, is an old saying, and it is true.
1t is the only way to learn. One can
teach till doomsday and not make a
scholar, a real man, true citizen out
of boy. Teach Is misnomer In the
truth of education. Such one is q
guide q friend, leader. Telling a
child fact should be undertaken with
great caution, for when the child loses
the relation, he loses the truth. Edu-
cation is really absorption and the
duty of the teacher is to put the child
where the absorption proceeds. This
may not be professional, but it Is to
be commended because 1t isn't.
