A NEW DEMOCRACY IN NEW YORK
(New York World)

(NeW 1Ork WOrlul
 If the Democrats of New York carry out ther campaign in the spirit in which they began it a the Saratoea conference they will win the State.
 What is better still they win deserve to win.
 Two years ago the rehabilitation Of the Democratic marty in New York seemed impossible But the m Dossible has happened. The party IS rehaDhhated'
 In Judge Samuel Seabury the Saratoga conler- ence designated Of the ablest candidates Tor NoV to vote for in generation He is one of the original leaders of that new American democracy which IS more concerned about human beings than about prop ertv Added 10 this is genuine talent for govern ment and an intimate knowledge of State affairs,
 When Mr. Hughes became Governor Ihe Moru fondy hoped for new regime. but MT. Hughes lack or coupled with his ignorance or state ms tory state policies and State adminlstrauOn hulleu his efforts and the situation so bad that the ds' gusted voters turned to Tammany. Where MT. Hughes failed Judge Seabury is capable Of succeeding ana we have no doubt whatever that he will succeed
 The action Of the Saratoga conference IS not inal. It must be ratified in the primaries but m the man fl must inevitably be ratified. Judge Seabury is un- ouestionably the overwhelming choice Of the Democrat c rank and file for Governor There is no better rep resentatve of the young Democracy of New York than William F. McCombs. who has been designated Tor United States Senator MT. McCombs Is qu9iihed in all respects for the Senatorship and his candidacy should appeal no less strongly o the independent vo CTS of the than to the regular Democratic voters
 New York is the pivotal State in this campaign. IL may decide the Presidency. lt IS essential that a united Democracy should present ticket that will make for popular confidence and be a source or strength not of weakness. the national ticket But New York Is than pawn in the great game of Federal politics lt the populous and the richest State in the Union, with highly Important m terests of its own lt has a government which has touched the low water mark of incompetency and has made the Dix administration seem like regime of statesmanship
 New York not only needs change but change is imperative unless the administration of the State Is to break down completely The Saratoga confer ence has opened the way for that change and new order Of things Is at last possible

 Man is made of dust, but he al- ways seems to want more.
 The fellow who is all wrapped up in himself is a bundle of conceit.
 The worst thing about killing time is that it is apt to come back and haunt you.
 A brilliant conyersationalist is one who can say nothing and make it sound interesting.
 The lack of ambition merely dem onstrates that some people would rather be happy than successful.

QUEEN OF NATURE FAKEs.s
Dove Deliberately Pretends to ae
Wounded, With the Idea That She
Will Gain Sympathy.

BrSsic's sole aim in life has been to
prove that T.. L. Barnum was right
when he pulled that zone IL minute"
stuff. But Bessie was unmasked the
other day. according to IL New York
correspondent. Her position as Queen
Of the Nature Fakers'' went awry, and
if she wants to wiring tears from the
women who visit the New York ZOOlOg-
ical park she will have to think up q
new sympathy producer.
Fitted by nature. to be Il fakrr, Bes-
sic, the bleeding heart dove, made the
most of it. Tn her breast she has an
irregular red streak which looks like
Il wound. Bessie soon learned that
she could gain Il lot of sympathy by
pretending to curl UP and expire when
u woman screamed for q keeper to att
tend the birds injury.
The other day a woman who had been
the victim of BeSsie's ruse u year ago
visited the birdlouse with friend.
Her companion started to make the
usual protest against the cruelty of let
ting Il poor little dove suffer, when the
wu.lnn recognized that Bessie was
simply giving an encore of her per-
foriancc of the year before. She gaZed
fix, dly at the apparently expiring dove,
then said: You little fake. Aren't
you aslined?" and led her friend
away. while Bessie resumed her inter-
ruptcd dinner Of rice kernels.

1t is the answer to the eternal
question: "Whata's the use?'
What profit hath a man of all his
labor
Which he takcth under the sun?
One generation passeth away,
And another generation cometh:
But the earth abideth for ever,
All the rivers run into the sea;
| Yet the sea is not full;
Unto the place from whence the

Thitler they return again,
The eye is moi satisfied with seeing
Nor the ear filled with hearing.
The thing that hath been,
II is that which shall be;
And that which is done
Is that which shall he done;
And there is no new thing under
the sun.
In other words, life is not Just
one thing after another. 1t is the
same thing again and again. Get
up. worry and work: eat. lie down

a word should he said about how to
take milk. 1t should be eaten, not
swallowed as a beverage, DIR. j. II.
Kellogg asserts in Good Health.
All foods need to be masticated. The
calf and the nursing infant chew milk.
The movements of the jaws and the
sucking movements executed by an in
FAINT in nursing induce an abundant
flow of saliva. which dilutes it, and to
high degree promotes its digestion.
Milk, when swallowed rapidly as a
beverage is likely to form in the
stomach large and hard cur,ls, which
are very slowly digested. Many per.
sons who suffer from taking milk in
this way imagine themselves to be un.
able to take milk, and SO abandon its
use.
Milk should be slipped slowly and
with IL sucking movement of the
throat so as to secure 81 liberal ;ldmix-
