TO CARRY MONEY SAFELY

In the June Woman's Home Com
panion a writer gives the following di.
rections to carry money safely:
you may have given only a passing
thought of where and how to carry
money when YOU go travelling. To be
safe. do not carry tickets, money and
all valuables in one pocket. Buy bill
folder OF sufficient size to take care
of the railroad and steamer tickets
baggage checks, aud SO on. Probably
the safest place TO carry this wallet
will be In the inside pocket of your
coat. Your money-and in travelling
in America II never is necessary to
carry In cash any such amount as
eight hundred dollars will be safest
and in the most convenient place for
you II carried In small leather fold
or in a side pocket of your trousers
Small change might be kept in the
same pocket, but nothing else, for
loose articles will be in the way when
your fingers reach hastily for street
car or cab fares. Money in a side
pocket OF ones trousers ordinarily is
immune from pickpockets, much more
so than II carried In the rear trousers
pocket"

YES. TWILL BE GAY TINE
WHEN REPUBLICANS MEET

Chicago, May foundations are
that the Republican National Conven.
ton OF 1916 will be one of the noisiest
and most exciting in the history OF the
party.
With 16 candidates for President
in the field and with the result in
doubt until the last ballot has been
taken there is likely to be an unusual
amount Of noise and enthusiasm.
Fred w. Upham, Chairman Of the
local Committee on Arrangements was
informed today that plans have been
made to bring more than 100 bands
and so glee and marching clubs to Chi
cago during convention week. Harry
Daugherty, of Columbus, telegraphed
that he would bring a glee club of SIS
to Chicago to boom the candidacy of
Theodore e. Burton, of Ohio.
Word comes from Indiana that ev-
cry large city in the state is planning
to send either a band or a marching
club to the convention for Charles W
Fairbanks. Similar reports were re-
ceived from other states which have
candidates.
The demand for convention tickets
continue to increase. Today season
tickets were quoted at $3.50 each.
Sergeant-at-Arms William f. Stone
today began the appointment of his
l 300 assistants, which include 1900
Assistant Sergeants-at-Arms, 100 mes
sengers and 100 pages. He has re-
ceived 5000 applications for the posi-
tions, which will be filled from the rec
concentrations made by members OF
the Republican National Committee.

ARE SMOKES" CIGARS
OR CIGARETTES ?
Judge Thomas Has Has Question 10
Decide for United States Court
Question Given to Wrap.
per-Must Decide.

Hartford, Conn, May 23-Judge Ed
win s. Thomas in the United States
Court has an interesting question TO
consider in the case of the United
States against 100 little cigars" So
called The question is whether the
so-called little cigars" are cigars, or
cigarettes, for the purpose OF a tax
to the internal revenue department.
The Tobacco Production Company,
located in New Milford, manufactured
the so-called little cigars" and
aims, for the purposes of the tax
to the Government, that they are an
all tobacco product and are liable to
tax of IS cents per 1000. The claim
of the Government, however. is that
the smokes" made by the Tobacco
Production Company come under the
classification of cigarettes, and that
the tax on them should be $1.25 per
1000. instead of rs cents. as the man.
ufacturers claim.
The whole question hinges on the
classification that is given to the
wrapper. The manufacturer takes the
tobacco and subjects it to a sweating
and steamng process. and, after the
juice is extracted from the tobacco
and drawn OF, the substance that re-
mains is put into a beater machine,
and then It follows a part of the pro-
cess that is used in making paper. and
finally from the machinery is pro-
duced a nice leaf that is used as a
wrapper on the little cigars" So
called. The question for Judge Thorn
as to decide is whether the Smokes"
are little cigars or cigarettes.

who paid their bills and conniye with

also know some country women wh,
cant get their husbands TO put run

YOUR GIRL9

Is she following the fashions set by
the undressed chorus girls of the
stage!
Is she bedecked in fiimsy garments
meant to display the contour of A
shapely figure?
Is her walking dress cut so low that
one would think she was on the way
to the opera and so high that the color
of her stockings is discernible?
Are her fingers, neck and arms COW
cred with gaudy jewels, cheaply imi-
tated on the five and ten cent cOun-
ters!
Is her face rouged and powered with
the freedom of the brazen demimonde?
Is she dining. drinking and dancing
with the giddy midnight throng in an
atmosphere of excitement?
Is she ioy-riding on Sundays and
neglecting the church of her father
and mother?
Is the suit of pleasure, rriyolity
and fashi the consuming passion OF
her hears
Is she going the pace in a restless
desire to shine in the blazing light OF
the cabaret and to be known as one
of the fast set?
Is she walking the primrose path
of dalliance with no thought of the
journeys dreadful end?
Are her companions lifting her VI
or dragging her down?
Is she seeking the love of one true
man or basking in the sunshine OF
many without manhood?
Is modesty a mockery. the prayer
book and Bible relics of the past anC
mothers advice the played-out whiu
of the antiquated?
Is she no longer a comfort to those
at home, the confiding delight of hel
mother and the pride OF the family
circle!
If this is your daughter, are yol
proud OF her? Look at her lates
photograph. Then take down the pic
ture of her mother or grandmother.
Which do you like the better? AND
which do the men of real worth pre-
fer!

RECORDS
Moved From PrOgresO Inland BY Mex
leans, who Feared American
Attack.

Mobile. Ala, May 22-Fear of bonn
bardment by an American feet caused
the'removal of all official records from
the Custom House at Progreso, Mexi-
co, to Merida, 80 miles inland, on May
IL, according to Captains of two YES
sells reaching here today from Yucatan
with sisal cargoes.
The Mexican garrison at Progreso
dug trenches, place artillery and made
other preparations to meet an attack
by Americans. The two vessels, the
schooners Rena J. Murphy and Susan
B. Dantzler, were both notified to be
ready to take off American refugees.
Only one Mexican port official was
left in Progreso to clear the vessels.
Progreso was growing quieter when
the vessels left, as no American fleet
had appeared.

HOW ONE WIFE COMPELLED HER
HUSBAND TO MAKE GOOD

In the June Woman's Home Com
panion writer tells the following
story:
The editor of a daily newspaper in
Il Southern city fell in love with and
became engaged to the society report
err. They were about the same age
both fine, ambitious young people, very
much in love and very eager to be
married. They were far away from
their parents and there was no one to
interpose any objection to an immedi-
ate marriage. They had a brief honey
moon. and then came back-he to his
desk and she to hers.
1.-TWO or three years passed. His
salary was increased to the amount
which they had at first thought would
be sufficient for their needs-but
meanwhile their scale of living had
risen. They did not want to drop back
into cheaper apartments and a less
pleasant mode of life; so it was de-
cided that she would continue at her
desk for a while longer.
Zone night she found a gray hair in
his head. The next night she came
home and announced that she had re-
signed her job.
Resigned! he gasped. Why
what are we going TO do?'
Dear, she answered. you are going
to support us both. You're too good
man to be wasting your life in jot
that doesn't pay you enough to sup
port a family. Our lives are running
away, and we have never had a real
home; before we know il We will be
old-without friends, without children
without any of the things that make
life worth living My resignation
doesn't take effect for month. To-
morrow you're going to get month";
vacation and you're going to New Yorl
and find another job
To-day the man-now nearly forty
lis making seventy-five hundred q
year in large advertising agency HC
says frankly that il it had not been fol
the incentive which his wife gave him
for the actual necessity which she
created by resigning her position. hi
might have gone on into old age in q
job much below his possibilities.

new NOTE
Ready TO Go FOrward-Chlef Execu-
tive Puts the Finishing Touches
on Protest Against British
Mail Interference.

Washington, May 22-President Will
son tonight completed a note vigor-
ously renewing the protest of the Unit
ed States to Great Britain against in
reference with American mails. The
communication is expected to 90 for
ward tomorrow.
Secretary Lansing and legal experts
at the State Department made the
original draft of the note and the
President revised its phraseology. II
is made up largely of legal arguments
TO meet the contentious of Great Brit
ain in the memorandum concurred In
by France, presented to the state De-
partment several weeks ago. The
United States takes the position that
practices complained of in the first
complained of In the first complaint
on the subject have been continued,
and that the American Government
must now insist more emphatically
that they cease.
State Department officials consider
that the chief weakness of the position
of Great Britain is her policy of TAX
ing neutral mail vessels into British
Jurisdiction and submitting them to
local censorship regulations. 1t is UNI
derstood that it is on this point that
the renewed protest is based chiefly,
The British memorandum avoided this
phase of the question. Rapid trans
mission was promised to true CORE
spondence." but the right to seize con-
traband sent in the mails was main
tanned.
The Hague convention of 1907, the
United States contends, guarantees the
invialability of postal correspondence
and the new note again points to the
inconvenience and actual money losses
resulting from the continuance of the
British policy OF taking neutral ves-
sells into British ports and there ex-
amining and OBTAINING the mails a
mass of evidence has been collected
showing the effects on American bust
ness of the British policy.

FLOOD OF LAVA FLOWING FROM
CRATER OF MAUNA LOA,
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Honolulu, Hawaii, May 22-Mauna
Loa, volcano, which was in eruption
last week, has broken out again.
A food of lava, which burst forth
last night, at an elevation of 1000
feet, is flowing down the mountain
side travelling southwest at the rate
of about a mile an hour, following two
channels. The glow Eliminates the
entire landscape at night. Newspapers
can be ready by its light many miles
away.
The course taken by the lava is that
followed by the last eruption, about
nine years ago. The sea is about so
miles from the mountain in this direc-
ton and there is little property OF
value in that direction.

RACES in the name OF Francisco villa
who has faced gunfire many times
without hinching, crouched in terror
before the eye of a camera here to-
day.
He thought the taking of his picture
by an American newspaper man was
but the prelude to his execution. For
hours after he had been photographed
he inquired anxiously of every wardeI
who came near his prison cell il he
was about to be led forth to death.
Since his capture, which took place
near the scene OF his supreme crime
Pablo has been confined here, while
his wounds are treated
While he is slowly recovering the
former Wilt lieutenant is unable &c
stand unsupported. He starts nerv-
ously and cries out at each football in
the prison corridor
Again he apparently regains his
courage, and maintains that he was
only the tool of Villa and asserts he
will die without Hinching if 1t is true
this country requests his death.
Questions of policy also enter into
the delay of Lopez's execution. II ID
hoped he may divulge valuable infor'

 To compel them to eat is a grave mistake, because nutrition is impaired. Healthful exercise in fresh air and sum- shine is important, but equally imPEt- ant is a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion three times day to feed the tissues and furnish food-energy to improve their blood, aid nutrition and sharpen their apPetites.
