WEAKEN STATEMENT OF FACT
Many Persons Seem to Question Their
Own Conclusions by Excessive
Use Of Rising infection.

It is a modern conversational fad to
s the rising and interrogative in
Election a great deal, W when a
question is not intended at all. The
wOmen are more apt to use It than the
men, and it started a few years ago,
merely as a pretty trick of talking,
with no harm in 1t, mo harm + tn
world" says the Ohio State Journal.
But it has been so very much over
done and is now so general that we
are inclined to wonder if it betokens a
state of mind, or, on the contrary, if it
is likely to have an influence on the
mind. For a rising infection implies
questioning or doubt and, when ap-
piled to a sentence that is supposed to
be a statement Of fact, 1t necessarily
weakens that statement.
We have heard people who were
%narrating some simple incident use
this rising infection so repeatedly that
they seemed to question all their own
statements, or to seem to appeal to
their hearers for agreement. And that
mind. If a person has anything to
say and believes it, he should be will
ing to state it quite simply and posi-
lively. A positive statement does not
mean an aggressive one; and a per-
o must needs be in a rather pitiful
state of fear of his hearers opinions
ii he is afraid to utter an affirmative
sentence.

Swiss Funeral Customs Odd.

The funeral customs Of the Swiss
are very peculiar. At the death Of a
person the family inserts a formal
black-edged announcement in the pa
pers, asking for sympathy, and stating
that the mourning urn will be ex-
hibited during certain hours on a spe-
cial day. In front Of the house where
the person died there Is placed a little
black table covered with black cloth,
on which stands a black jar. Into this
the friends Of the family drop little
black margined visiting cards, some
times with a few words of sympathy
on them. The urn is put on the table
on the day Of the funeral. Only men
ever go to the church yard, and they
generally follow the hearse on foot

Continuous Watering Best.

Lucien Daniel, a French botanist,
has made some experiments with cab
bages, chicory, lettuce, etc., which
prove that they thrive far better by a
system Of continuous watering than
by drenching the soil thoroughly ev-
cry other day. AS presented to the
Academy of Sciences in Paris, con-
sists Of placing under each plant a
large mouthey jar containing water, in
which is dipped n end Of a strip Of
linen or cotton whose other end lies
near the plant. Mr.. Daniel determined
the exact amount of water required
by any given plant for its best devel-
opment.

Don't Waste Time.

"What are you looking for, so care
fully, John?" II am trying to find a
piece Of wood that will exactly fit the
space I have to fill in this bit of work, -
replies John.
Then Harold says, "Why don't you
make a piece that will just fit? You
could whittle it out, and make it ex-
.actly right, in half the time you spend
trying to find something"
True enough. It is so with some 9th
or things, and less tangible than a bit
Of wood. Take opportunities, for ex.
ample. 1t is often easier to make
them than to look around to find them,

At Lonu Ranue

Just what conditions really exist in Russia informed writes have tried tell in almost countless articles. Out of the long list fact emerges safely and that is that Premier Kerensky has task his hands which few men will envy him.
 Countries which have emerged through revolution to democracy frequently to go through an n- terregnum of anarchy and if the young genius called to rule in Russia avoid such a condition he will at least have gone France better and that with people not half enlightened were the French of revolutionary days
 Russia is left very much in the condition of great company which has lost all-powerfu head, and placed heads of departments with inexperienced men who have held theories for years what they do if given authority Now that they have the chance they find that theories do always work out in practice, especially with great going forward.
 Kerensky is beset side by the radicals who would overturn everything and the other side by conservatives, who would move slowly Either side denied its wish, is ready for revolution again. Ex- trememist who be curbed not to be feared but in this takes concessions keep ship of state right side up, say nothing of trying pre- it's rocking struggling of factional dis pute.
 One thing is certain and that is Germany may not hope to Russia and withdraw it's force from the eastern front. Even if Russia were overcome would probably take as many men Germany could spare maintain order there else the work of the conqueror would have to be done all again While withdrawal of troops by the Central Powers is hardly be feared at this time yet allied leaders doubtless sleep better onights Russia could put up effective defense.
 Winter with its rigors and Kerensky the two best chances for Russia The former will make fight ins extremely difficult and the latter is with high conception of duty, patriotic, sincere and yielding to the demand for separate peace

. They lnjure the Cause

Equal suffrage truly belongs in the list of essen- tals to democracy This we believe earnestly we believe anything but we do and agree with the unwse utterances of Mrs Henry o. Have meyer Of New York as quoted in an Associated Press dispatch to The Republican yesterday morning Mrs. Havemeyer advises the women of the country not to lift finger in aid the Liberty loan because the franchise has not yet been granted throughout the United States. Such can only hurt the cause of suffrage, for it i-advised not in Keeping with the lofty ideals of those who advocate women and in opinion Mrs. Havemeyer's utter ances the heights of disloyalty.
 The report also carries the news that Mrs Have meyer was seconded in her suggestion by Mrs Abby Scott Baker of Washington with three sons in the national service It almost inconcevabe to believe that with boys at the front can take such course when the prompt placing the Liberty Loan is one Of the greatest for the pro- tectiou and of her sons

We believe thal in the union will realize the justice of this pleain itself merely plea for justice Just firmly, believe that such statements as the ones credited to Mrs. Havemeyer and Baker in- jure the and delay the granting the franchise all the union. They injuring very thing they seek to advance
 The war is the paramount interest of the United States All else is secondary. Millions of men making it their sole business We are fighting for democracy and that democracy is the United States itself it's very life and being. Nothing should be done hinder anything necessary for the successful advancement of Americas side in that war and the primary requirement. is money. This Liberty loan the life blood of the cause of this war and nothing should be done hinder successful ota ton. Knowing this, thousands who favor the cause of suffrage will be chilled in their ardor by such state ments as those credited Mrs Havemeyer and Mrs Baker.

 How many thousands look into their purchases as carefully as Uncle Sam does? With him, losses great or small cannot be tolerated, because in the az gregate the leakage of supplies and money would be simply staggering When you consider the number and size of the cantonments-a small city each of them, and the millions of square feet of roof needed, the money saved in selecting a durable asphalt roofing is important.

In addition to the fact that Uncle Sam's buyers and builders found this roof quick and easy to lay. low in maintenance cost, long lived, water proof and weather proof, fire -retardant, and other things a good roof should be, it was pointed out that as asphalt roofing came in compact rolls it would save space in freight carsi-and also that it would

YOUR OLD CLOTHES

Did you ever imagine that the old suit you discarded may go into a roof over your husbands, or brothers, or sons head in one of Uncle Sam's can comments where the new soldiers are in training?
 The high grade asphalt roofing which our government experts have chosen to roof the sixteen big cantop- ments is what manufacturers call a "by product" roof. Its base is a thick, soft felt made of old rags, and these rags come from tons and tons of our last winters clothing that have been collected and made into roofing felt. This information will surprise many people, who may still have in mind the old time paper roofing" or tar paper" or the later so-called rubber roofing; but these are largely bygones.
