when this incident was recalled by
Congressman ]. Edward Russell OF

One afternoon little Bessie sat in
the kitchen watching her mother
weave a hot iron through the dainty
frills of some white frocks. The day
was warm.
Mamma" finally remarked the little
girl in a sympathetic voice, isn't 1t
very hard work to irOn?"
Eyes, DEAR" answered mother, with
soft sigh, sometimes it is very
hard"
For a moment the little girl thought
fully communed with herself, and then
her face became brightly Illuminated.
"Oh, mamma" !" she enthusiastically
exclaimed. wouldn't it have been

Marines Give Women Tip on
How to Wash Clothes.

Because they use too much
water and too little soap, wom-
en- do not get the same dazzling
whiteness in their washed
clothes as do the United States
marines, Sergt. Clarence D.
Rhoades of the Marine corps
told a party of society women
visiting the battleship Utah.
1.-THE eye-paining brllliance of
our white clothes is due to
. the fact that we wash with our
heads as well as our hands, and
we let soap do Its proper share
Of the work. Just enough water
to thoroughly wet the wash is
sufficient" the sergeant contin-
ued, sand the less water and
more soap one uses the whittier
the washing will turn out.
The fair visitors seemed great
ly impressed with the lesson.

Peanuts Many Uses.

The peanut is much more useful
product than most people think. Be-
sides it's use in the roasted form, there
are other lnnumerable uses.
The nuts contain from AZ to so per
cent of nearly colorless, bland, fixed
oil, resembling that of the olive and
used for similar purposes.
More than 25 years ago there was
begun in Virginia the manufacture Of
peanut -four, of which particularly
palatable biscuit is made. North Caro-
lima has long made pastry of pounded
peanuts. It is also eaten for dessert,
and is roasted as a substitute for cof-
fee.

emergencies in the future. But he did
net find the conflicting counsel very
helpful. EyildOers ought to be pun
lshed. Of course; otherwise there
would be no premium on doing the
right thing. But If u child does what
we consider "evil" without malice,
should he still be made to suffer-es-
pecially when he is very likely to out
grow the instincts that lead to such

The trouble with Saffron was that
he had not taken the pains to think
out the right and wrong of playing
truant, nor the right and wrong Of
furnishing children. He was Just as
Impulslve as the truant himself, with
this difference. Whereas the boy had
an uncomfortable feeling that he was
doing something that was wrong-be-
cause It was disapproved-the man had
the assurance that he was in the
right, for in the punishment of chill
dren he was countenanced by genera
tions Of parents and most of his con-
temporaries.
The trouble with Brown was that,
whereas he had learned enough to
know that the misdeeds of children
are in most cases the outward express
slons of perfectly healthy instincts,
and not evidences of "wickedness," !"
and whereas he knew that most chill
dren will outgrow these misdeeds, he
had no idea that there was anything
to be done about it except to permit
the fates to finish the story.

what Brown knew. But that is not
enough. Children will Outgrow their

WHY WOMEN

To Lydia E. Pinkham Msd
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask "ArO
the letters which the Lydia E. PinkhAm
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful I "
"Why do women write such lettsrsI "
In answer we say that never have We
published . fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have We published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent Of the woman
who wrote it -
The reason that thousands Of women
from all parts Of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. Is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some Of
the worst forms Of female ills, from dis
placements. Inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,

It is impossible for any woman who

BLISS TO GO BEFORE
 COMMISSION
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

NEW LONDON, Sept 14.-Major General Tasker H. Bliss, assistant chief of staff of the United States army, is to appear before the American Mexican commission tomorrow when discussion Of border problems is renewed. He will be the first and possibly the only witness to be interrogated by the com mission in joint session. IL was thought advisable that General Bliss should ex- plain to the Mexican commissioners the military aspects of border plans as seen by United States army officials.
 No definite plan for border patrols has taken shape in the minds of the commissioners. The Americans con- ferred with General Bliss again today
 It was indicated that the proposal which has appealed most strongly to them was that a border constabulary be created to operate as q police force along both sides of the line. It was suggested that the force be composed of former soldiers of both countries, under joint control and that the ex- pense be shared by both governments. IL was argued that the Mexican people would not feel toward the constabulary the same hostility that they displayed 1 toward the American troops. It also was suggested that the police force Nbuiu De ldF more effective Tn clearing | the mountains of northern Mexico of | bandits.
 | The joint commission probably will | adjourn tomorrow over the weekend to permit the Mexican members to cele- brate the Mexican independence day 1 September l6. In a statement issued l tonight the following summary of to- 1 days proceedings was given:
 The session was devoted to an in-
 formal interchange of views on the en- | forcement of law in Mexico and on tho guarantees to personal property rights
 The Mexican commissioners presented
 a clear picture of the purposes of tn,
 Carranza government with referenc,
 to the reform of the civil codes and tn,
 codes of procedure. They explained
 the fact that under the DiaZ regim
 the judicial procedure was so cumber
 some and expensive and the judiciar,
 so corrupt that 1t was impossible fo
 a poor man to obtain justice
 The purpose of the Carranza gov
 ernment is so to simplify procedur
 that the courts of justice will be opel to all. As soon as the plan for the re vision of the constitution has bee carried out through a constitutions convention, a thoroughgoing reform 0 the national codes will be undertaken s in order to make these codes conforr to the new standards of justice

When the dredge Michie and the gas schooner Tillamook reached the Con rrass. they found the liner almost com nletelv shrnuded in smoke and the pas sengers fighting frantically to enter the life boats. Despite the stress or the situation, however, Captain N. F. Cousins and his crew, managed to maintain control and the work or transferring the people aboard the oth- CT vessels was carried out in an orderly manner.
 Before the last boat load, in which was Captain Cousins, left the Congress the smoke and heat were almost un- bearable Flames were shooting out of the yentilators and up the passage ways
 away. half the vessel was on fire. Soon afterward the flames enveloped her from stem to stern, lighting the sky to a crimson hue. With the wind and tide the steamer then began drifting in toward the spit on Coos Bay.
 The crew of the life saving station in a power boat reached the Congress shortly after the Michie and the Tilla- mock arrived, and helped remove the passengers and crew to the two latter vessels.
 According to word reaching here, the fire was discovered at about D. m. near the second hold in the steerage cabin. No word was received from the Congress, however, regarding the fire, until nearly D. m. The main wireless set of the liner became disabled at about 4 D. m and the operator flashed calls for aid by means of an auxiliary set. getting the Coos Bay station by the latter At that time the steamer was running for Coos Bay. She was compelled to come to a stop two miles off the entrance.
 The Great Northern was the only steamer on the outside to respond tC the calls for aid. As she was some distance south and could not reach the scene before 10 p. m, word was later sent by the Michie that she need mol come.
