ing vastly superior to older methods
Under this method Of anaesthe-
sla-or nerve deadening," said Dr.
Riethmullcr, "a single injection OF
a drug into. for instance. the lower
law will render insensible TO pain

Advantages Claimed.
Or. Tiethmuller said the advan-
tages claimed for this method are:
"absolute painlessness; full con

"The drug used in this method OF

CoMMrENDABLE ACTION.

The citizens Of Norwich in special city meeting are to be congratulated upon the action they took relative to public improvements. They have dis pelled any thought that may have ex- lsted that Norwich was not for prog ress.
 All of the items in the warning were worthy of favorable action and there could not have been a better time for approving them than the present. Nor wich has stood too long at the cross roads and debated whether it was go- ing to go ahead or turn back. but the overwhelming preponderance of the sentiment shows that it is once again headed in the right direction
 The widening of Thames street is one of the improvements which the city has long needed. This important entrance from the south has too long. been bad advertisement for a com munity which has been advocating de- Velopment, but with a municipal ad- mfnistration which has demonstrated its determination to do things behind the movement the city bids fair to realize a long cherished hope in this direction
 The example which has been set by certain of the property holders in giv- ing whatever land is needed for. this improvement, the city being obligated to make the changes. is one which might well be followed by others in VolVed, for the improvement is going to be of no greater benefit to anyone than to them and it is but proper that all should manifest their appreciation even as a few have.

HALLOWEEN FRANKS.

Throwing an apple through Q horse- shoe for luck is a game which always appeals 70 little children. For this a horseshoe must be hung in 9 doorway ends up, and the children given apples to try to throw through it. Any one succeeding in three chances has the promise of his or her wish being granted by the good fairies. Incden- tally she or he also has the apple
 Bobbing for apples is Q time honored function, but one not smiled upon by nurses and elders. Indeed, water, which is the important element in the traditional "bobbing," as. in SC many other fairy scenes, is of dubious joy where children are concerned. They love having their fortunes told, how ever, and a good way is TO tell how many letters a child will receive. or prizes it will earn by means of apple pips The white witch must collect the children around her while she solemnly peels an apple, cuts it up and extracts the pips. A child who wants to know" next holds cut it's right hand flat and the witch will place the pips on it with suitable meowing from her cat, the child then clinching the left hand and giving the right wrist a smart knock with it. Some of the pips will be shaken off and those left tell the quantity of letters, prizes or what not. A fresh apple will probably have to be peeled for each competitor

of converting that product with which cash was placed before them. There was more cotton than could be disposed of and as the result the price dropped far below normal, meaning a great loss to those who could not af- ford to keep 1t for a better market. It was recognized that until trading conditions abroad were resumed 1t would be necessary to curtail the pro duction and grow something else in stead. This meant much to the south for all it knew how to do in the agr1- cultural line was to grow cotton.
 The readjustment has been attempt ed and less cotton has been produced than formerly, but poor crop condi- tions in that part of the country as well as elsewhere have served to lessen the quantity raised, and the law of supply and demand is now doing the rest. The experience. however, in spite of the fact that cotton is again commanding an attractive figure is nevertheless valuable, for when nor nal times come again more cotton will be needed and the south has learned that it's possibilities are not confined to one staple product. It IS one of the instances where adVerslty has been beneficial.

ICE MAS SAGE.

Beauty specialists have long em- ployed ice massage as means of over coming wrinkles and sagging tissues by f1rming them and causing the skin to tighten. Medical experts now lend their authority to it's use, not only as a specific for these maddening fur rows, but as a general tonic and beau tifier Some day when you feel fa- ttgued and must be refreshed within a short time try this ice massage and observe the magic results. For home use place 6 small piece of ice in a linen handkerchief or piece of cheese cloth and pass gently but firmly and slowly over the cheeks, using the TO- tary motion, around, up and out. Harder pressure is employed when go- ing up than down in order to pull back the cheek muscles Continue over the cheeks, along the nose, chin and forehead until the skin feels cool and refreshed and assumes a. rosy hue Massage movements are also employed for use over the throat or wherever the skin requires this beautifying process First batIle the skin to remove impurities, rinsing in cool water be- fore applying the ice massage.

RAsELEss DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS.

The claim is made by the manager of the Hughes tours that the repub- Hcan candidate for president will re- ceive 300 votes in the electoral college with the probability that he will get half hundred more. This is based upon the results in years gone by and upon the sentiment of the people as he has travelled about the country.
 The manager of the democratic campaign considers that it is all over. that the democrats will win in a. walk and that President Wilson will have more than the necessary majority of 266 of the electoral votes. This is in accordance with the claims which have been made in past years. It is in line with similar predictions back in 1908 when New York, certain of the repub- lican middle west states and others which were unquestionabIy for the re- publican candidate were all claimed for the democratic nominee. In 1912 conditions were different because of the split in the republican party and MT. Wilson found himself the success ful candidate in many of the republi- can states. The president was aided into the White House because Of the fight that was waged by two other candidates.
 This year, however. the situation re- turns more nearly to the normal and the democratic prognostications are in keeping with those of the past Maine and New Jersey have indicated what can be expected and the reunited re- publican party will manifest it's strength as positively in other con- monwealths. The one surprising thing in connection with the demo- cratic claim is that it hasn't included every state in the union except Utah and Vermont.

SIMPLE cOIFFURES.

No fussy heads nowadays are per mitted to the woman of the hour Brushed straight back and round, and fixed upon the top with a knob. is a favorite coiffure. Of course, there are others, and those in which a sleek brushing is the principal feature seem snartest. These are really a careful arrangement of no arrangement A compressed suggestion iof Japan is also quite the thing ir hair dressing. A loose Madonna hair arrangement is already in vogue, and a most be- coming one it is when the hair has a kink in it, natural or semi natural. One woman who has just come over from France says that in Paris and Petrograd-note the combination cultures are becoming very elaborate and that they are much higher. So the artist in hair may hope.

HELLENIC RUM ANIA.

Whatever help the allies are giY- ing to Rumania in response to its ap- peal that they do not forget it in its struggle with the Teutons who are in @ dangerous position on two sides, it has not as yet been sufficient to block the advance of the enemy as is shown by the piercing of the Russo -Ruman- ian line in Dobrudja, the taking of 5000 prisoners. the fall of the Black sea town of Tuzla and the threat ened capture of the important railroad line which leads to Constanza.
 In giving assistance to Rumania 1t must be recognized that as far as re- Inducements are concerned they must come from Russia, which country hav- ing had enough to send many ship loads of troops to the western and Mediterranean fronts now has an op- portunity to bring them into imme- diate service only short distance from home and in the blocking of an offensive which is aimed at f1anking it's important operations farther north.
 Among the other allies it has been realized, that with the exception of sending officials to aid the Rumanians their best assistance at the present time lies in keeping the enemy en- gagged with constant actions along the whole line and this they are doing with good effect.
 The effect of these efforts has not been sufficient to call off the drives by sraIkenhayn and Mackensen. They are moving consistently ahead and un- der the circumstances there can be but little wonder that Rumania is nervous and anxious over the result.

FAILURE TO UPHOLD THE LAW.

The record of lynchings in this country continues to be added to al- most weekly, and it is not a small sec tion of the country which is given to this manifestation of disregard for es- tablished law and the disposition to commit atrocities which are on a par with, if not worse, than many which occur at the time of war.
 The latest case of mob rule which has stirred the country is that which occurred at Paducah. Ky. where two Negroes were killed and burned. One of the victims was doubtless guilty of a fiendish crime while the other had commented regarding the affair as the accused was being taken through the streets for Identification after hav- ing been taken from the jail. ---
 That the guilty man would have in time paid the price fixed by law for the crime he committed, there is no reason to doubt, but the mob was unwilling to curb it's desire for immediate vengeance and it had its way. s
 Thus far nothing has been done to- wards an investigation which would lead to the arrest and punishment of those who unlawfuIIy took the lives of these men, one of whom may have invited death by his act. but the other certainly had not. and it is this fail ure upon the part of the authorities. to uphold law and order which is do- ing more than anything else to en- courage the lynch spirit. Let those who were responsible for that deplor able affair be apprehended and feel the effects of the law and there would be less inclination to apply the moose and torch. Lawlessness by an indi- vidual or a mob which goes unre- strained reflects no credit upon any community.

COLCRjED WAISTS,

The most radical change in the waist styles this season is in the color. The dressy waists are either dark, so as to match the suit, or are in some high color, thus contrasting with the suit. On the other hand, the semi tailored models continue to be mostly in white and in flesh color.
 The new season waists of conserva- tive type are in navy, brown. dark green, purple, gray and mulberry.
 Waists of more striking type are in garnet, light green, rose, royal purple, French blue and other tones which will blend harmoniously with the dark suit cOloring.

POLITICAL
WHY MIR. HUGHES SHOULD BE
 ELECTED.

In the first place, Kansas folks are more interested in results than in any fine-spun theories about government. They want to get things done.
 They wal9 for president of the United States not merely a disciple of a follower of Cleveland or of Mckin- ley-but a man who can fill the job.
 We think this is particularly import ant for the next four years. We're not getting together and passing resolu- tions that view with alarm or that despair of Ehe republic or anything like that, but we do know that this nation has a lot of new ground to break in the immediate future, and we want 8 man on the job who knov what we want and who knows what he wants and who will stay put.
 We want man who will stand hitched without getting the baking habit.
 We want man who has Insight and oresight-rather than hindsight, as we say.
 A man of keen perception, of cour- age, of determination; a man whom Mexico and the allies and Germany and the rest ot the world will hear the first time he speaks.
 man who will keep us out of war without giving us the wobbles; a man WiIO VIII IId1llIdlIl peace anu T6ld1n honor and respect. In short, we want a, man big enough for the job-the big gest job in the world.
 And we've looked the field over the man for us is Hughes
 The high tide of prosperity, due en- tirely to the debauch of barbarity in Europe, will recede. The Kansas farm CT knows where his good prices come from, and he knows they are not due to any act of the present adminstra- lion.
 What when the crash comes?
 We realize that we must prepare in- dustrially and economically for that time. And the more we look at the democratic administration the less we're inclined to trust to 1t he job of preparing.
 Its bungled tariff laws, it's burleque tariff commission, it's $8,000,000 a day appropriations, it's pork barrel wallow it's 30,O00 new offices, it's broken pledges, its rape of the civil service law and its vaeillating policies on ev- cry important issue, do not appeal to the people of Kansas.
 On the other hand, Hughes has nev- CT been found wanting in courage CT decision. He was nominated by the people, by the rank and f1's because they trusted him and wanted him.
 And for the same reason he will be elected. The people know that they know and the world knows where to find htm.-Governor Capper of Kansas.

COTTON UP AGAIN

The south is once more rejoicing. Cotton is again in demand and to get it the purchaser must put up 20 cents 0 pound. This is cause enough to move that section of the country from sad ness to joy. even though It is a try ing experience which it has gone through.
 When the war broke out there was a large crop of cotton in sight. AS the result of the blockade which shut off one of the big customers the big task

TO KEEP PLANTS FRESH.

There is a simple way to water ferns and flowers which will be of interest to one who must leave them for @ time without care. Take Q washing tub and place three or four bricks in it and put about two inches of water in the tub. Place the flowers on these bricks and place the tub where they can get the morning sunshine.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

A good liver squeeze consists of standing erect, with the arms hanging naturally at the sides. Now throw the left arm over the head and bend the body at the waist as far over to the right as possible. With practice the fingers of the right hand will reach the floor. Reverse the exercise and bend to the left side.
