DEATH or REV. D. ". CLARKE

Il will be remembered that Rev. Fir.
Clarke, rector of the Catholic Church
at New Madrid, left here week before
last for trip in a launch on the upper
rivers, accompanied by his friend, F.
v. Waters, and Joe Schmidt, a me-
chanic.
The story is that they arrived at
Paducah, KY, on Sunday, where they
stopped at a hotel till Tuesday, and
then went into camp on Sisters Is
land. Father Clarke and Waters re-
turned to Paducah on Thursday for
srnnlies and again left for camp be-
ing compelled to tie up on Dog Island
where the engine broke. Father
Clarke told Waters he was going to
explore the island for skiff.
Waters waited for the priest until
Friday, then went to Sisters Island,
but being unable to get any trace Of
his companion, Waters returned to
Paducah on Saturday and set afoot a
search.
News of the finding of the priests
body reached Paducah late on Sunday
evening, through a fisherman, who
found it opposite the head of Dog Is
land. 1t is believed that he became
overheated and died of prostration. A
coroner's inquest showed no marks of
violence, and his watch, money, ro-
sary and diamond pin were found
on the body. He had been dead for
perhaps "a hours.
The reverend gentleman had been at
+ New Madrid for several years, and
was highly esteemed by everybody, a
devoted pastor and loved by his church
people. He is survived by sister
and brother who live in st. Louis

are using less of these than we were
a few years ago, but we are still us
ing more than we should. In some
States every remedy sold for the
treatment of live stock must have OH
its label the name of each active drug
in it. Also the term 'live stock rem
edy' is not allowed to include patent
medicine primarily designed for hui
man beings but sometimes used for
animals Therefore, if the farmer wish
es to give medicine to his pigs with
safety he must be careful to do SO
with a remedy put out for pigs and
not for his baby, because in this case
there is no requirement that the ac-
tive ingredients be put on the label
Is it not curious that we take better
care of our animals than we do of our
children?

forgotten the kindred arrogance of
Republican leaders in this country
Root and Hay and Roosevelt-who
alluded their party to the skies as the

the United States, just before it fell

The Republicans affect to view many
Democratic acts with alarm, but the
one thing that most genuinely alarms
them is the full dinner pail that has
come to the American people with
Democratic administration.

Speaking at dinner rendered by
national progressives on the eve of
his departure for South Africa, Oct.
3, 1913, his farewell address," Col
onel Roosevelt declared:
"The party is solid, and it is the
firm determination Of the rank and
file, no less than the leaders, to pre-
serve its political entity, its solidarity
and integrity"

In his message declining the Pro-
gressive nomination for President,
Colonel Roosevelt declared:
"0ur loyalty is to the fact =
not merely to the name, and least of
all to the party NAME"
"Yet it has become entirely evident
that the peoplv under existing condi-
lions are not prepared to accept a
new party"
"The Progressive national organiza-
tion no longer offers the means where's
by we can make these convictions eff
fective in our national life. Under
such circumstances our duty is to do
the best we can, and not to sulk be-
cause our leadership is rejected"
"Under existing conditions the NOM
nation of a third ticket would, in my
Judgment, be merely move in the in
terest Of the election of Mr.. Wilson.
| shall therefore strongly
support Mr.. Hughes. y can
not accept the nomination of third
ticket. ] do not believe that there
should be third ticket"
without any regard to what the
personal feelings of any of us may be
as regards the action of the Republi-
can convention, l wish very soIemnly
to ask the representatives Of the Pro-
gressive party to consider at this time
only the welfare of the people of the
United States"

"The men who believe that we will
ever betray these ideals or abandon
the task to which we have set our
selves do not know us and cannot ev-
err guess at the faith that inspires us"

"Men and women, l would continue

ness, and while life lasts we cannot
and will not abandon it."

are elated with confidence. Every
opposition fails against enthusiasm

WHEN YOU TRAVEL
Some Hints for the Woman While on
 Train or Boat

When you start on your journey, use your complexion brush we'll, then rub cold cream into tho skin, and pow der very lightly. This will protect the skin from chapping During the day, do not use water and soap on 1ace-the cinders and dust, It is too drying. Instead, carry number of little three or four-inch cheesecloth squares. and, when the face needs re- freshing or cleansing. smear it with cold cream and go over it carefully with a cheesecloth square, wiping off cream and dirt together. When the face is perfectly clean, the ears care- fully wiped out, the eyebrows and lashes brushed free from dust with your tiny eyebrush. the nostrils wiped out, then dust on powder again, and you will look as clean as clean can be. The cream and powder, act as a pro- lection to the skin. Take off all your clothes, just as you would at home, slip on your nightgown' and kimono or Pullman robe, and get out com plexion brush and your own soap. No- tice l say your own soap." Nothing IS worse for the skin than changing rom one soap to another. Scrub your race thorouhgly as you would at home, ana rub in cold cream. In the morn- Ing wash with tepid water. If warm water Is not obtainable, sponge off with solution half alcohol and half w-<er, before applying cream and powder.
 10 not try to sleep in your corsets or underclothes, as some women do on the train-it is productive of head aches, constipation, and such broken slumber and leaves one haggard.
 Constipation Is a big foe of travel CTS so be careful what you eat on the diner, ordering fresh fruit for each meal when obtainable. Slip some lemons in your bag, and take the juice or one in cool water on rising; and at night, or during the day, eat figs and oranges, and drink plenty of wa ter.

THE NEWSPAPERS AND CRIME.

The remark is frequently made that the printing of so much criminal news by newspapers tends to pro- mote crime. It is argued that by mental suggestion people are taught to become burglars and train rob- bers.
 Some men unconsciously sympa. thixe with crime. They admire its smartness, and when they write up q bold act they make the perpetrators of 1t appear in the light of heroes.
 Other writers see that the worst harm is not done the victims of wrongs, but the mon who commit these acts. who are thereby led away from the paths of industry and rec titude. In their accounts of crime such writers represent the meanness of the act rather than its audacity or skill. Crime stories written in that vein don't do harm.
 Newspapers should be willing to cooperate with the police in sup- pressing information the publication of which would be harmful but on the whole a newspaper story of crime is commonly a sleuth hound on the track of the fleeing perpetrator.

ToDAY's POEM

My heart, can not still 1t, Nest that had song birds in it; And when the last shall go, The deary days to fill it, Instead of lark or linnet, Shall whirl dead leaves and snow. Had they been swallows only, Without the passion stronger That skyward longs and sings Woes me. shall be lonely When I can feel no longer The inipatience of their wings! A moment, sweet delusion, Like birds the brown leaves hover But 1t will not be long Before their wild confusion Fall wavering down to cover The poet and his song.

Attacks may be caused by

alone. Attacks may be caused by overeating and over-exertion, irrita- ton at some point, as in the stomach or bladder, or upon the skin or in the rectum by constipation, indulgence in highly seasoned foods, liquors or in- digestible foods. Sweets of all kinds may also provoke attacks in those sub- ject to asthma. Asthma is very rarely immediately fatal. A recovery may be gradual or it may terminate as sud- denly as it commenced. especially if Appropriate treatment is pursued.
 Asthmatic persons must avoid .ex- cesses of all kinds and use plain but nourishing diet. Ordinarily it will not be found difficult to locate the dis ordered organ which is the actual seat of the disturbance and its proper treatment may lessen the severity of the attacks and perhaps entirely ob- literate them. As rule the kidneys must be carefully watched and the bowels never permitted to become constipated. The prognosis in cases of those who have seemingly inherited the condition is not very encouraging. In the case of your friend would suggest that she employ some of the home methods described in the Book of Lectures. as well as in Vol. 2. A special preparation of the tissue foods or cell salts would also be beneficial for the purpose of supplying strength to the weakened organs.
