When President Wilson delivered his speech at Hodgenville, Ky, on Labor day heliquidated a New York state corporation. He went to the birth place of Abraham Lincoln to accept from the Lincoln Farm association the national memorial which this patriotic society had placed there and the en- dowment that went herewith. When this was done the whole plan and pur- pose of this organization incorporated under the laws of New York was done. Twelve years ago Richard Lloyd Jones, then associate editor of Golfers s Weekly and now editor of the Wiscon- sin State Journal, as a student of the life of Lincoln, visited the birthplace of Lincoln in the heart of Kentucky. He found the property in sad state of neglect and involved in court litiga- ton of wealthy New York restaurant owner who had a few years before bought the property, taking the cabin from it's original site to exhibit it at

various fairs and expositions around the country, including the Chicago worlds fair, the Pan-American ex- position at Buffalo and the worlds fair at St. Louis. On that visit he con- ceived the idea. of restoring the cabin to its original site and building over and above it am enduring granite
 memorial which would protect it from the devastation of weather for cen- turies to come. He believed that if this could be done the story of Lin- coln's first home would find its way into the school readers of the country and be a constant source of inspira- tion to American youths. He believed that this should be done by the people themselves and not through the gen. erous donation of any one rich man. A year later MT. Jones returned to Hodgenville to bid in this farm under the auctioneer's hammer. He inter ested Mf. Robert J. Collier of New York in his idea, and they. with Clar- ence Fl.

ARE MEDICINES LIQUORS ?

A certain class of prejudfced and Jealous doctors ca1 patent medicines only alcoholic beverages. They VIII tell you that such and such a medi- cine contains as much alcohol as a glass of beer or certain quantity of whiskeys but they do not mention that the beer or whiskey is swallowed at one draught, while only small quan- tity of the medicine is taken at one dose. At the same time they will use alcohol quite as freely and, many in four or five times as great proportions in their own prescriptions
 Such standard remedies as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound use barely enough alcohol to preserve the root and herb extractives, too little to have injurious effects; and the Jnedi- cine can be had. if desired, in a non-- alcoholic form.-Adv.

sAyAGES AND THEIR TEETH.

The common idea is that the diet and climatic conditions of the negroes are the cause of their having beautiful teeth, but some authorities disputs this. Thus, in some parts of Africa when an infant has gone through tha "teething period'' his mouth is rinsed out with an injection of leaves of a native tree possessing a constituent which causes the gums to shrink, so tightening the teeth.
 The natives living near the sources of the Nile employ the roots of pod bearing plant to relieve toothache. while another tribe farther west use an infusion of kasso seeds for the same purpose. The toothbrush as used in this country is, of course. un- known to the savages, but many of them have a most effective substitute. They use a piece of wood from cer- tain trees which contain beneficial qualities. Further. this stick is free from the great objection to brushes: It can be renewed at very frequent in- tervals, and is thus always fresh and wholesome-a great advantage over the toothbrush Of civilized races.

Postal Telegraph company. organized the Lincoln Farm association, opening offices in New York city from which
 they made an appeal for contributions to the people of the country, issuing a certificate of membership in the as- sociation to all who contributed 25 cents or more. In this way over 400,- 900 Americans gave over $400,o00 for this work. Joseph II. Folk, then gov ernor of Missouri, was made president of the association. On the 12th day of February, 1909, the centennial of Lincoln's birth, President Roosevelt laid the cornerstone of the memorial
 building. On the 9th day of Novem-
 Der, 1911. President Taft dedicated the
 completed memorial. That this na-
 tional shrine might permanently be-
 long to the people of the United States the Lincoln Farm association asked the government to accept it as gift, together with its very ample endow- | ment fund. A bill was recently intro duced in congress authorizing the ac- ceptance of this gift, which bill 1 promptly passed both the house of representatives and the senate by unanimous vote and was signed by
 President Wilson on the 17th of July.
 Three presidents having visited this memorial establishes a precedent. It
 is expected that some national service
 will be held at this birthplace shrine during each presidential administra-
 tion and every president of the United
 States will pay his tribute to the great | Lincoln from the terraced steps of this memorial building on the pediment of which is inscribed the legend:
 HERE OVER THE LOG CABIN WHERE ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS BORN DESTINED TO PRESERVE
 THE. UNION AND TO FREE THE SLAVE, A GRATEFUL PEOPLE

TAX PROTEST OF
 ROMAN MATRONS

The earliest deputation of women to parliament was organized else on two thousand years ago. Under the triun- virate of Augustus, Antony and Lepi- dus it was proposed to tax the prop erty of 1,400 wealthy Roman matrons in order to meet part of the expenses of the meet part of the expenses of the Civil War then raging. They re- fused to submit to this imposition, and sent Hortensia, one of their number, to plead against it before the senate. In. the course of her speech she asked: "Why should we be compelled to pay for a war into which we had no wish to embark, or for the support of a government whose policy we have no means of controiling?'' ?'' This argu- ment proved so effective that the tax on women was reduced to one-third of the amount originally proposed.
