Every two or four years in our
land we have an election, often a
great election. where matters OF inn
portanco are considered and settled.
But centuries ago there has been
FAR greater election, which was con-
.lnued from that day TO this. Usually
elections are limited in suffrage. both
by age and sex. But not so with this
greater election. Every one who has
cached the age OF accountability can
vote. Moreover every one must vote

GlRLS-DO YOU KNOW
WHY YOUR HAIR
is UGLY?

Many women do not realize the ne
cessity of keeping the hair and scalp
absolutely clean in order to look their
best. And yet, with only a few min
utes of tonic massage, the hair may
be brought to beautiful, thick, lus-
trous luxuriance, and that at a very
little cost.
Just try these few simple direc-
tons today: Into the palm of the
hand pour little Partisan Sage, a
rigidly guaranteed, inexpensive and
most beneficial preparation to be had
at any drug store; thoroughly wet
the hair near the scalp with it and
then rub vigorously until soft ting
ling sensation comes stealing over
the head. Do this regularly for q
few days and you will surely be sur
prised and delighted with the results.
The. genuine Partisan Sage Is OBJ
tainable from Wells-Haymaker Com
pany, who always sell 1t with an alb
solute guarantee Of perfect satisfac-
ton to the user or the money will
be Observation-Disclosures.

Mnr Order Prosperity.

A report on industrial conditions In
Vermont credits war orders with the
present prosperity in that state. The
Windsor Machine Company paid div
idends aggregating 1875 per cent in
July and October. The Robin Hood
Powder Company secured large or
ders, and the machine companies in
Springfield and Rutland are working
on shrapnel. Another machine COM
pany that had an offer OF 100000
order for shrapnel last summer de-
clined it because women are the prln-
cipal owners of the stock and opposed
the manufacture Of war munitions.
But as bushes grew dull In regular
lines and there appeared necessity
for reducing the force another con-
tract that was offered was quickly
accepted and the works arc now run
ming overtime. Numerous small
shops throughout the state are work

The northern end of the deep sand
territory in southeastern Ohio shows
some Improvement in the size of the
late competitions in that end of the
field. Near Nashport, in Jackson
township, Muskingum county, the
Columbus Oil and Fuel Company has
been meeting with fair success, and
is the largest holder Of territory in
that end of the field. The company
has drilled its test on the Fleming

Fails TO Fool the People.

The report of the general board OF
the navy was made public in two
chapters. The first to appear was a
report written to order. The other
prepared much earlier. contained the
real opinion of Admiral Dewy and
his associates-and. Josephus Daniels
tried to suppress it.
The difference between the two re-
ports is that the earliest-in date
outlined a program Of naval construc-
tion which the patriotic naval experts
in the board deemed necessary for
the proper protection of the coun-
try. The other report contains a
building program limited by the
amount of money which Josephus
Daniels is willing to spend. Admiral
Dewey wants to protect the United
states. Josephus Daniels wants to
protect the Democratic party. That
is the essential difference between
the two programs; and Mr.. Daniels
thought to accomplish his purpose by
the simple expedient of smothering
the first and genuine Dewey pro-
gram.
He failed in this purpose, mainly
because knowing people insisted that
all OF the general boards recon-
neutrality-suspicious. and forced
should be made public, Josephus
Daniels was at first inclined to blus-
ter, to assume a sort Of public-be-
damned attitude, the attitude, In fact,
which is most often taken by this ad-
mfnistration-and it was only when
he perceived that a congressional in
quiry would bring out the facts that
he reluctantly produced the docu-
ment and enabled the public to see
the difference between real and a
spurious program for naval prepared
ness.
Admiral Dewy's plan is patriotic.
Josephus Daniels's plan Is political.
Admiral Dewey's plan would produce
navy within a reasonable time.
Josephs Daniels's plan would produce
navy in the sweet bye and bye.
The episode is regarded as helpful.
1t shows that the administration can
no longer fool many OF the people for
much Of the time. Maybe it is only
the beginning of series Of revela-
tons. Maybe there are other docu-
ments withheld by other cabinet Of
ficers which will now be forced into
publicity and which will further
show the tendencies and purposes Of
an administration which has only a
little more than year to live, which
has already done so much harm, and
which wouldAlike to do even more.

Another advance in the mid-oonti-

spires hope that the eastern market
will soon advance. Producers and

the way of field developments to pre-

When you first notice a cough =
even that little tickling in the throat,
which some think is a "mere cold, it
may mean serious trouble for you, be-
cause the dust of the mines often brings
bronchitis, pneumonia or consumption
even to men stronger than you.
What you need-and need at once
is bottle Of SCOTS Emulsion to
check the cough and help the Innings
of the bronchial passages to prevent
sickness and loss Of "time'.
In SCOTS Emulsion you get r=ss

Thrift in tie Homo,

Thrift is good management, and
nowhere Is good management more
manifest than in the, home. You can
soon tell what manner of housekeep-
err the wife Is. for the impress of her
ideals and ideas Is on every hand.
She can wasted all the husband earns
or she can save the major part.
Housekeeping is the most compll-
Gated work in the world, and she that
keeps a house well is a good business
woman She can make her work
drudgery or she can make 1t pleas
ure. Men fail in business and the
world knows 1t; but how many home
failures there are Of which the world
never hears!
II is easy to detect the woman who
fails as a housekeeper. II you see
the dishes unwashed, the children
unkempt, clothes strung all over the
house, the bath Uttered. the corners
dirty and a general air Of neglect you
may depend upon 1t she has failed rs
a business housekeeper. She does not
know how.
Writing in the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal, one woman tells how she sue
ceeds as homemaker and as a bust
ness woman in the home. She aims
at simplicity. She has simple fur
nishings, but good. She has no par
lor"-that abomination Of olGen
time, but living room. where they
really live. Most parlors are merely
to look at, not to use. She has sim
pie meals-things "they are all stuck
on" as her little boy puts it, but lots
of them. Baked beans only, but lots
of them and good. And who couldn't
make n meal on the beans mother
used to bake?
She has no curtains at the win
dows; her windows are for light and
air, not to display curtains and catch
the dust and keep out the sunlight.
She wastes no food. She allows the
children to take only as much as they
can eat and no more. If they leave
any food on the plate, the next meal
begins with that cold plate! Her
garbage pail is for waste. not food,
"swell Swill" costs money, and "pigs
is pigs" and relish potato peelings as
much as ice cream.
She does not make her attic junk
shop. She makes 1t a storeroom;
cleans 1t once a year, but that Is all.
She has order in the kitchen. She
saves time by having things in order.
She doesn't dry her dishes but
"scalds" them and let's them dry
themselves-and they can do it bet
ter than she. ;,
She uses a letter press" to iron
socks and towels and coarse articles
that other women break their backs
over to no useful purpose.
A fireless cooker saves gas and
time and food She keeps biscuit
flour mixed with the proper proper
ton of salt and baking powder and
biscuits for her oven in five minutes!
She has all her kitchen utensils han
dy, cans and receptacles labelled. and
thus she saves steps. Some women
walk too much on their jobs. She
always has change in the house, runs
no accounts, pays cash on delivery,
weighs her purchases and takes moth
ing for granted. She keeps accounts
of all her expenditures and knows
where her money goes and what 1t
buys. She doesn't hire much help be-
cause she doesn't need it. She stud
les her job and succeeds because she
knows how.
