SMITHS HAVE MADE UP
Hugh Larimer Had a 60 Mile Drive TO
No Purpose.

After driving through the night
from a point up in Jefferson county in
company with Hugh Larimer, under
sheriff, c. c. Smith was released when
he reached Topeka He was arrested
on the charge of wife Gesertion, al
though actually the wife deserted him.
Mrs. Smith left the family home in
jefferson county last summer and has
been IN Topeka since but the Kansas
law permitted her to bring the charge
of wife desertion against the husband
who stayed at home.
When Smith reached Topeka the
husband and wife patched it up and
Larimer's work was in vain. He drove
50 miles in rounding up Smith md ar
rested him in the face of information
that he would not be taken to Tc-
peka-
Smith is a decent sort of fellow
apparently" said Larimer HE tcld
me right off the bat that he wouldn't
accompany me back to Topeka. But
he did and by the time we got here
felt kindly toward him. I am not at
all sorry he was released even though
my trip was for nothing"

HOT TEA BREAKS
A C0LD-TRY THIS

Get u small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks call
it. Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of
the tea, put a cup of boiling water
upon it, pour through a sieve and
drink a teacup full at any time. 1t is
the most effective way to break a cold
and cure grip, as it opens the pores,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking a cold at once

GOOD THINGS TO KNOW

When ironing table linen, iron with
the selyage and not across the grain.
TO clean bamboo furniture use a
brush dipped in warm water and salt.
The salt prevents the bamboo from
turning color.
Salt rubbed on tea cups will remove
tea stains, and discoloration on crock
cry or china will respond to the same
treatment.
To clean collars apply benzine and
after an hour or more, when the
grease has become softened, rub 1t or
remove with sOapsuds.
A little clear coffee can be added to
starch for tan or cream materials,
and this is better than pure white
starch In many cOlored things.
For black garments black starch is
sold that is quite satisfactory. White
starch is almost sure to give. unsatis-
factory results on black material.
Iron saucepans should be cleaned as
soon as possible after use, and if any
thing greasy has been boiled in them
put in some soda and boil up.

The Odds on hunhes.

Even newspapers friendly to the Will
son administration admit that Governor
Hughes made a fine impression upon
all classes of Republicans by his mas
terly speech formally accepting the
nomination of his party for president.
They are compelled TO record the fact
that the former Progressive party lead
ers are also well satisfied.
This marks another stage of the
Hughes march to victory. From the
beginning the odds have been in his
favor. He has always been rated the
favorite in wagers upon the election.
At no time have such weather vanes
shown that the wind was blowing to-
ward the head of the present admins
tration. Now the outlook for the Re-
publican ticket is better than ever be-
fore.
Democratic consciousness of the des-
perate prospect for the Democratic can
didate will probably keep the National
Guard under arms and away from
home until after election day. II win
be considered necessary TO cut Off as
many thousands of antiadmlnistration
votes as possible, by foul means as wen
as fair. But no such scheme can avail.
The margin of victory is too wide.
Hughes will win easily. even If the
guard is DISTINGUISHED.

Good Way With Dishes.

Dishwashing for small family was
accomplished with the least possible
labor by a houseworker who managed
the operation as follows: She had
two large dishpans standing side by
side on table on which the dishes
were piled in an orderly manner. The
first pan was filed with boiling hot
soapy water in which the dishes were
quickly washed. The other pan had
10 the bottom rack made 10 fit
about three inches high. AS lickly
as the dishes were washed in the first
pan they were stacked in the second
one, and when II was full clean boil
ing water was poured over them. This
drained through the rack at the bot
tom, and the dishes were left stand
ing until dry and ready to be put
away.

PORT OF MISSING WHEELS
Writer Throws Some New Light on
the Eventual Fate of
Bicycles.

Perhaps you have wondered what
has become of all the old bicycles. Not
SO long ago everybody had one-fa-
ther, mother. children and aunts from
the country. And then, In the night,
motor cars got cheaper and all the
bicycles disappeared. Like the Palm
Beach suits they are all here In Flor
ida. There are bicycles everywhere,
on the fiat hard beautiful roads, on
the curbstones. leaning against the
piazzas, in the streets. II the mo-
tor car has swept them from the north
ern streets. II has not done that here.
Men, women and children on bicycles
whirl about the streets. tingling their
little bells and the motor-car drivers
look out for them. Just beyond the
veranda at Palm Beach were hundreds
of bicycles waiting to be hired Out
on the shaded roads were other hun
dreds bearing their gayly attired bur-
dens.
In the lobby. where was making my
way to the desk, were dozens of wom-
en- dressed for wheeling. Margaret

life Of Empress Eugene from Paris

the will. He planned the secret flight
of the empress from Paris to Deau-

He arranged passage on Lord Bur

cockroaeh a Tronhler.

Recently while inspecting a large
plant attention was called to peculiar
incident. On branch circuit there
was some peculiar trouble. Fuses would
blow out at various intervals running
from one-half to twenty-four hours,
says the Popular Science Monthly. At
first no attention was paid. but when
the ground detector started to show
signs of trouble, first on one side and
then on the other, an investigation was
made. Covers were removed from the
outlet boxes and from one box a
shower of live and dead cockroaches
fell on the head of the examiner. On
looking into the box. it was found that
the insulation around the joints and
especially at the points had been en-
tirely eaten away, the vibration do

MOST ACCIDENTS IN HOMES
Majority Of Injuries Can Be Traced
to the careiessness of
individuals.

The safety first" movement is or
dinarily understood TO mean caution
in public, in crossing streets or board
ing cars, or carefulness In the factory
in handling tools or machinery, but, nc
cording to the report of the coroner
of Cook county, Illinois, there is more
need for safety first" methods in the
home than in the street or factory.
In IL years OF the Chicago coroner's
incumbency the total number Of deaths
by accident investigated by his office
was 29,S64. OF these 1924 were ''ac-
cidents at home" and 14,623 outside
the home"
Most of the accidents at home are
traceable TO carelessness. Burns and
sealds caused many deaths. Asphyxia-
ton, poisoning, suffocation, falls. ex-
posture and neglect, careless use of
matches, firearms, gas and oil stoves
gasoline. liquid stove polish. defective
stovepipes and Iiues, SCOT, etc. cost
thousands of lives. In Cook county in
1915. 105 children under five years of
age were killed by scalds and burns.

OHIO AND MINNESOTA SAFE
carml Thompson Says Democrats
Have No Chance to Garry Either
of Those States.

Carmi A. Thompson of st. Paul, who
used to be secretary to President Taft
and was also an assistant secretary OF
the interior. brought word to political
friends in Washington that Minnesota
and Ohio would be sure to give great
Republican pluralities this fall. Mr..
Thompson is a native Of Ohio and was
for many years leading Republican of
the Buckeye state.
''If the Democrats have any idea Of
carrying either Ohio or Minnesota, they
had better wake up" said Mr.. Thomp-
son. II really don't believe there is
any more chance of Democratic sue
cess in these two states than there IL
of Republican victory in Georgia
Frank T.. kellogg, the Republican nom
inee for the United States senate, will
surely defeat Daniel Lawler and the
state will go Republican for Hughes
and Fairbanks by an overwhelming
plurality.
in Ohio there is perfect harmony
among Republicans and Progressives.
Two years ago the Progressives polled
a considerable vote, but even then the
Republicans elected the governor and
other state officers and gained seats in
congress. With keen interest in the
national fight and the election of gov
ernor and United States senator also,
the vote in Ohio this year will probably
be the largest ever, and ! look for a
Republican plurality approaching 100,-
600. There is no doubt about the re-
election of Governor Willis Whoever
wins the senatorial fight, and am for
Harry Daugherty will undoubtedly be
selected over Senator Pomerene."

MAKING More Wood EIour.

One of the new industries increased
by the European war is the manufac-
ture of wood flour in the United
States. Last month over 10000 tons
valued at 100000 was manufactured
chiefly in small mills which are scat
tered over the country from Maine
to California. The flour is used in
the manufacture of ligoleums as a
substitute for the cork imported from
Spain before the war, and also enters
largely into the composition of some
of the heavier and handsomer wall
papers. Wood flour is made from
sawdust and other waste lumber
which until few years ago was
burned at most American sawmills.

An Aggressive Campaign.

We think that a second reading of
Mr.. Hughes remarks at Carnegie hall
will disclose TO intelligence something
more than a statement of the candi-
dates opinions or an arraignment Of
the ipfirmities Of the Wilson admins
tration.
This is not merely a speech of ac-
ceptance, it is a plan of campaign. Mr..
Hughes has chosen his own ground.
He has confined his attention TO GER
tain carefully selected and well consid-
cred objects of attack. He has bound
these together in a clearly conceived
scheme of campaign operations which
puts the president on the defensive;
and. certainly, this is superior gen.
eralship.
Mr.. Wilson cannot evade the issues
made by Mr.. Hughes without surren-
der. He cannot direct the discussion
to other themes, for that will not be
permitted He cannot join issue with
Mr.. Hughes on the questions of Mr..
Hughes choosing without involving
himself deeper and deeper in contro-
versial disaster; for Mr.. Hughes Sc
iected positions are lmpregnable and
his arguments not successfully to be
answered.
That is to say, the Republican cam
paign is to be conducted aggressively
under the leadership of a campaigner
of no ordinary ability, on plan well
thought out in advance and prosecuted
with skill as well as energy
Viewed in this aspect, the speech of
Monday night presents features of con-
siderable interest TO students of pc
lincal strategy.-New York Sun.
