A great number of our wants are

want them simply because We think
that we want them. They give us no
enjoyment when we obtain them. The
want of them is only known by feel

OUT OF THE ORDINARY
Old Black Joe Cough Syrup Con
tains No Dangerous Drugs,
Yet Does the Work.

The fact that Old Black Joe Cough
Syrup is absolutely safe, yet does the
work quickly and surely is what makes
it such an extraordinary cough remedy.
1t loosens the phlegm, opens the air
passages, soothes the irritation and kills
the cold germs. 1t hits the sore spot
in jiffy and then, My!-what relief.
There Is not single drop of opiates,
choloroform or narcotic drugs in it.
Just as safe for children as for grown
people. A big bottle costs only % cents
at any good store. Beware of substi-
tutes, for they may be dangerous. Sold
in country as we'll as city stores.

In Foreign Commerce.

noting the foreign commerce Of the
country than is now thought by some
to be legal under the terms of the
laws against monopoly, the bill amend
ing the present organic law of Porto
Rico and the bill proposing a more
thorough and systematic regulation of
the expenditure of money in elections,
commonly called the corrupt practices
act. need not labor my advice that
these measures be enacted into law.
Their urgency lies in the manifest cir
cumstances which render their adop-
ton at this time not only opportune
but necessary. Even delay would Sc
riously leopard the interests OF the
country and of the government.
Immediate passage Of the bill to reg
ulate the expenditure of money in
elections may seem 70 be less neces-
sary than the immediate enactment OF
the other measures to which 1 refer,
because at least two years will elapse
before another election in which fed
eral offices are to be filed, but It would
greatly relieve the public mind If this
important matter were dealt with
while the circumstances and the dam
gers to the public morals of the pres

campaign funds stand clear under re-
cent observation and the methods Of
expenditure can be frankly studied In
the light of present experience. And
delay would have the further serious
disadvantage Of postponing action I'M
til another election was at hand and
some special object connected with it
might be thought to be in the mind Of
those who urged it. Action can be
taken now with facts for guidance and
without suspicion of partisan purpose.

HOSPITALITY A LOST ART
Unexpected Guests No Longer
Welcome In American Homes.

Hospitality seems to be almost lost
art in the present age. The days when
the unexpected stranger at the door was
hidden in to eat and sleep are past. In
some parts of the West, however, one
still finds that open-hearted hospitality
in homes where the host and his wife
are always glad to welcome any traveller
who happens to come to their door. But
the modern housewife of the East is
almost unacquainted with impromptu
entertaining. She must be forewarned
in plenty of time before she will even
attempt to dine a friend.
1t is rather pity that this highest
form of hospitality should be allowed to
die out. After all, it is not much of a
tax on ones hospitality to entertain a
friend or two at dinner or lunch when
the invitation has been given week or
so in advance. Any woman can do that
kind of entertaining with ample time
for preparation.
But one true metal as hostess IS
shown when a friend arrives unex-
pectedly for lunch or when the man of
the house turns up with a business &C
quaintance or two for dinner. That is
a sort of situation which tests the real
value of ones hospitality, and unfortu-
nately very few housewives rise to such
occasions at all successfully.
Don't let impromptu hospitality die
out in your home. Encourage your
husband to bring his friends home for
dinner and your daughter to bring her
girl chums to lunch. Keep a stock of
canned goods always ready on your
shelves and supply of clean table linen
in your linen closet for such occasions.

The argument for the proposed

present laws governing the island and
regulating the rights and privileges of
its people are not just. We have Gre
ated expectations Of extended privi-
lege which we have not satisfied.
There is uneasincss among the people
Of the island and even a suspicious
doubt with regard to our intentions
concerning them which the adoption
of the pending measure would happily
remove. We DO not doubt what we
wish to do in any essential particular.
We ought to do it at once.

OPERATION OF RAILWAYS

To pass a law which forbade or

until a public Investigation shall
have been instituted which shall
make the whole question at is
sue plain for the judgment of the

FATALITY IN A WORD.
Why France Changed the Name Of the

Why France Changed the Name Of the
'eeife Saving Belt"
A vivid Illustration Of the power Of
mere words over human beings was
once brought to the attention of French
people by Francisque Sarcey.
After the wreck of the Bourgogne
many passengers were found floating
drowned with life preservers on. These
life preservers were fastened upon the
bodies. but round the middle instead
Of under the arms. and the greater
weight Of the upper part Of the body
had tipp"d the head under water and
the person Of course was inevitably
drowned.
Now 1t appears that the greater mum.
Der of the persons so drowned were
French. The French term for life pre-
server is ceinture de sauvetage, or "life
saving belt" This word ce.lture sug-
gests to the mind in its moments of
disorder and unreadiness, such as a
great catastrophe brings, the idea Of
putting on belt, and as belt is put
round the waist and nowhere else the
frightened person instinctively adjusts
the life preserver close about the hips.
The result is that as soon as the
person so provided falls into the water
his body tips over, with the heavier
part downward. and the head is plung-
ed beneath the surface.
The word belt therefore, was the
cause Of the loss Of many lives in the
Bourgogne disaster. Sarcey according
+ " proposed to counterfeit the fatal eff.
feet Of the French word by remaining
the article and calling it brassiere.
