A Republican Hoax.

Iowa republicans in their desperation
to stem the rising tide of success and
popular approval which have character
lied President Wilson'S administration
SO far, are endeavoring to create a
breeze of discomfort by reason of the
changing of number of rural routes.
1t is an easy matter to criticise.
This faculty appears to be inherent in
many people. A criticism to be just,
should have merit. Is this the case
with the Republicans relative to the
rural route changes? Les us see.
By using practical economy the ad-
ministration has so far saved $2,0O0,-
900 in the postal department. This
money has been used in establishing
$40 new routes. These routes now
serve 500, 900 people that have never
been served before. Not lonly this,
but many routes were extended. Al
together, the present postoffice de-
partment is daily delivering and col
lecting mail from /, OOO,OO more peo-
pie than ever before. One million
more people are receiving rural deliv-
cry service than ever before. All of
this with the same amount of money
the republicans used in their extrava-
giant methods.
And not single person has been cut
off from the service. Davenport Dem

BREAD MADE IN A HURRY
Just as Good as When Done In the
Ordinary Way and Quickly Ready
for the Table.

Break two cakes of yeast into one
cup of water at blood temperature. Put
a tablespoonful of sugar on the yeast
to stimulate its quick growth. While
this soaks, warm two cupfuls Of milk
with one cupful Of water. This, with
the water over the yeast, makes a
quart of wetting, sufficient for four
loaves.
In a large mixing bowl put several
sleeves of flour and make depression
in the middle Of the flour, into which
put level tablespoonful of salt and a
heaping tablespoonful Of lard. Poul
the liquid and the yeast upon the fioul
and mix with the hands, working the
flour from the outside into the liquid
in the middle of the mass. Make a
stiff dough and lift the ball out, put
ting away any remaining flour for flu
ture use. If the -four is granular, let
the dough lie on the board for ten
minutes, covered with warm bowl,
that the -four may properly absorb the
moisture. If the flour is not granular,
this wait Is not necessary.
Now shape the dough without knead'
ing, lay the ball in buttered bowl,
and butter the surface of the dough to
keep it soft. Cover and let it double
in a warm place, an hour to an hour
and half. If you wish still further
to hurry it, set the bowl in warm wa
ter and place a smaller bowl of warm
water on the lid of the large bowl
containing the dough.
When doubled, shape quickly into
the baking pans for the second rising
and bake when again light. This reci-
De Is excellent for use when one must
have bread in a hurry. Half Of the
dough may be made into crusty rolls.

Man Hypnotized In Court.

In g. recent trial at Prague a mar
was charged with forging entries In q
baptismal register. In pleading not
guilty he stated that If he committed
the forgery it was done in trance
and under the suggestion Of certain
hypnotist, whose name he had beer
forbidden to disclose. His family ply.
stefan declared that the accused was
a neurotic, easily hypnotized, and, to
prove his assertion, began to read,
despite the judges protest, formula
beginning Deus Aetersus," from a
French book on magic, which the doe.
tor had discovered the unknown hyp.
notist used for the accused. To the
amazement and horror of the court
the prisoner Immediately fell into a
hypnotic trance, with his arms stiff
and outstretched. Lawyers present
thrust needles into his flesh and trief
to move his arms to see if he were
shamming, but without producing any
reaction. The prisoner awoke only
when the doctor breathed upon him,
uttering another formula. The trial
was adjourned to get the opinion OF
medical experts. the Family
Doctor.

Problem $500 Years Ago.

The question as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of women working, which is agitating
the public mind" department in this
year of grace, was a pressing one in
Athens 1900 years ago. In the Memoir
abilia Xenophon tells of converse,
ton that Socrates had with Aristotle
on the subject
Aristarchus was complaining that
he had no income to support the Sis
tiers and nieces and cousins who had
fed to his home for refuge because of
the disturbed condition of the country.
Socretes made the obvious sugges-
ton that the ladies go to work. Ac-
cordingly Aristarchus provided the ma
terial and they got busy spinning and
weaving, with exceedingly happily re-
suits.
Only one source Of discord develop
ed. Life proved SO easy under the cir
cumstances that Aristarchus did moth
ing himself and the women complain
ed that he was "the only person in the
house that ate the bread Of idleness."
Human nature and human problems
continue much the same from age to
age.

TO WASH WINDOWS QUICKLY
As In Most Other Cases, There Is
Right and a Wrong Way
of Doing II.

Take large cloth, yard long, pat
1t into a close swab like sponge.
Wet soppy, but not dripping, with wa
ter. Dent the center and pour in ker.
osene and sop it into the face Of the
cloth. With this swab quickly wash
the outside of the windows to loosen
all fyspecks, dust, old paint or aka
line deposit. Follow at once with a
large, soft and dry cloth.
The first cloth leaves it smeary, but
the polishing will make it very clean
and shiny. This first swab will clean
a large number of windows, simply
turning so as not to scratch the glass
with the dust on it. The polishers
need not be renewed until damp.
The windows become very brilliant
and clean and there is no freezing OF
water, or wetting the hands, as gloves
can be worn. Especially good in cold
or windy weather.
The same method can be used in.

WILL YOU HELP?

How much expense and trouble are
you willing to take on your shoulders
to help rid the community Of flies and
most of the diseases which they dis
tribute? If you are willing to help, this
is what you will have to do:
Buy screens to cover every window
and door that you will open in your
house this summer. Buy or make
garbage can-something that the flies
cannot enter VIXEN the lid is On it. If
you keep a horse make manure bin
that will keep out flies. This is impor
tant because flies breed almost entire
ly in manure. If possible, have the
manure removed at least Cnce a week
and spread on a field. Keep the horses
stall clean.
Put fy-tight covers on the seats in
the toilet clubhouse. If the vault does
not fit the house tight, make it fy-tight
by using cement-or bank it up with
earth and sod.
Don't throw out loose Feelings or
rotting vegetables. Put out simple
fly trap near the kitchen door. Use
the swatter. Urge your neighbors to
take the same precautions.

Seemed Long-Wlnded.

DR.. Henry W. Temple, congressman
elect from the Twenty-fourth Pennsyl
vania district, was formerly minister
and was pastor of the First United
Presbyterian church Of Washington,
Pa, for several years, until he resign,
ed to accept a chair in Washington
and Jefferson college.
Shortly after DR.. Temple assumed
his pastorate he was preaching to an
audience of about 500 persons cn a
Sunday. Quite a number of the small
children were in the assemblage and
they made considerable noise during
the sermon.
Suddenly, one lad of three and on
half years eluded the watchful eye o:
his parents and slipped from the fam
lily pew into the main aisle.
Out of reach Of his parents, the lad
went straight for the pulpit and walk
ed up the steps until he stood beside
DR.. Temple on the pulpit platform.
How soon are you going to be
through?,' asked the small boy.
In very few minutes, my little
man." answered DR.. Temple.
The preachers presence Of mind had
it's desired effect and the youngstel
marched back to his seat and in per
feet quietness awaited the conclusion
of the sermon.

WOMEN ARE ACTIVE

The city of Chicago, H., conducted
a crusade for the determination OF
flies last summer which was the big
gest movement of the kind the world
has seen, according to government
health authorities. The work was done
by the Clean Chicago federation, com
posed of the health department, WON
ems clubs, department stores, great
manufacturing concerns, the newspa'
pers, physicians association and the
board of education.
In this crusade the women were es-
pecially active. They showed by their
enthusiasm and their tireless labor
that the subject of fly determination
lies near the heart Of every housekeep-
er and that she knows the menace
which the fly holds over her family
especially her children.
We confidently expect that the
ladies in our town and surrounding
country will be just as eager to help
the cause of fly determination here as
the women of Chicago were there.
Wherever there has been kill-the-t1y
campaign the women and school chill
dren have had an important part.

No HESITATION ABOUT PAYNE
John w. Gates Played for Peculiar
Stakes, but There Was Never
Thought of "WeIshng."

The late John w. Gates was fond Of
a game of chance. He also liked men
who were wont to indulge in the same
pastimes as himself. Mr.. Gates was as
good loser as he was a winner.
Shortly after the formation of the
United States Steel corporation, Mr..
Gates was living at a great New York
hotel Charles NJ. Schwab. at that time
president of the steel corporation, also
had apartments at the hostelry.
Mr.. Schwab was quite fond Of cards
and invited few friends to his rooms

Mr.. Gates was member of the
party. The famous indoor pastime
progressed rapidly. Mr.. Schwab was
fortunate. MIR. Gates was unlucky.
Several thousands Of dollars had
changed owners. 1t was about l
o'clock a. m. The guests were start
ing to leave.

the Wall street operator.
mo, John, it's time to quit" replied
the steel president.
Just one cold hand for thousand"
exclaimed the financier.
mo, but I'll just play you one cold
hand for $1,000 against your clothes,
replied Schwab.
You're on" cried Gates in high
glee.
The two sat down to the table again
Hands were dealt them. Gates drew a
pair of queens, while his fellow player
again proved the more fortunate and
found three trays in his hand. Gates
was beaten. But he was game. The
guests stood almost breathless to see
what his next move would be.
Without hesitation Gates removed
all his outer clothing, laid it on the play
table and walked to his apartment In
his underclothing. There were but
few persons in the upper halls at that
hour of the morning, and none save
the steel president and his other
guests witnessed the loser getting tc
his bed chamber minus most OF his
clothing.
