Indiana Tailor's Device
Corrects Sloping Shoulder

Tailors admi. that the sloping
shoulder presents problem. To solve
that problem an Indiana tailor has in
vented a contrivance of astonishing
simplicity.
An angle-shaped piece of steel is
fitted against your shoulder. A plumb
line is suspended from the upper
branch Of the piece When the lower
branch is pressed down sHugly against
the shoulder the bob will be displaced
along the lower branch. Lines are
marked on the lower branch and by
reading the figures on the line OPP
posite which the bob stops the angle
at which the shoulder slopes is in
stantly obtained.

Jackson Days IN Indiana.

Two years ago there was a Gel
ebration Of Jackson Day at In
dianapolis by Hoosier Democrats,
at which President Wilson made
a speech, the echoes of whose
follies still resound in the discus
sion Of the Mexican problem; for
it was then that he declared that
it was none Of our business how
long the MeXicans took to regu-
late their own governmental diff
iiculties nor how much blood they
might spill in doing it. This year
it was the Republicans who cele-
brated Jackson Day at lndianap-
oils; for it was then that they in
naIgurated their new Governor,
the first Of that faith to take
Office since 1908. Gov. Goodrich
has his problems. After eight
years of Democratic rule, there
is much housekeeping to be
done in Indiana; and the Cover
nor has rolled up his sleeves and

Islands by the Rushel.

The purchase of the Danish
West Indies adds three more to
the vast number of islands be-
longing to the United States pre-
viously estimated as not less than
eight thousand. The annexation
of Hawaii and the acquisition of
the Philippines brought US the ma
jority of them, but we have had
a large number ever since Alaska
was purchased from Russia in
1867, southern Alaska being
fringed with islands and these
joining the included Aleutians
which extend almost to Kamchat-
ka in Asia. Prior to the purchase
from Denmark the eight thousand
islands already under the Amer
can flag supported a population
of about 10000, 900 and possessed
a commerce valued at about
$500, 900, 600 year.
With the possible exception of
the larger islands of the Hawai-
ian group and the PHILIPPINES,
Samoa and Guam, Americans
knew much more about the new
purchases than the old acquisi-
tons, definite and particular in
formation in thousands of cases
being hard to find if really OBJ
tainable. The mere mention of
a few of our little possessions in
the Pacific, those rather more i'm
portant than shoals Of others, is
a reminder of how little is known
Of them-such Palmyra, Christ
mas, Wake, Marcus, 'Penrhyn,
Phoenix, Gallego, and Scarbuck.
We are ignorant of even the
names of some thousands of 9TH
ers, II we were involved in a
war with a great naval power,
American islands could be picked
up by the bushel, if the enemy
thought it worth while, and in
hearing Of those captures by
name our average citizen would
not know whether his country
had been despoiled or not

A Sad Death

Last Friday Prof. Lester E.
Langdon, who was a teacher in
Union College submitted to an op-
Grafton for some kind of liver
trouble, and on Saturday morn
ing he died in the city of Louis
vile, Ky.
Prof. Langdon came here last
year and took up his work in the
college and was doing well and
was liked by all. He had for
some time past been com-
planning, and it was thought that
he had Yellow Jaun dice, and he
worried along until it was to late
to save him, before he went to
the lnfirmary to have the opera
ton performed.
His death, it is said by DR.. c.
A. Bromley, who staid by his
bedside until he died, was the
most pathetic he ever witnessed.
He was the only son, and his
mother to whom he was attached
with more than the ordinary love
and affections, staid right by his
side and lavished her kisses upon
the dying sons lips until life was
extinct, and the spirit had flown
to the God who gave it. His
father died when he was a small
boy, and he and his mother had
gone on through life hand in hand
until the summons came.
Prof. Langdon was a devout
christian, and was a Master Ma
son, in which organization ne was
a loved ard honored member and
his last request was that he be
buried by the side Of his father,
who was also Mason, by the
same lodge that had SAID the LAST
sad requiem DER his remains as
they were aid in their last rest
ing place.
The body was shipped TO Moroa,
ILL.,, where he was, as reqcsted,
buried with Masonic Honor.
We extend to the widowed
mother our sympathy,

Necessity is ever the mother of

were cut off from this country by
the war, but American enterprise
and ingenuity were equal to the
emergency, a great, new and

rapidly developed. Now the
American product is both ade-

Typhoid and Good Water

Some time ago there was an
epidemic of typhoid in this city
and all efforts were made to
stamp it out by the doctors of
the city and they finally did it.
Then the question was what was
the cause, and many had it that
it was the water that was being
furnished by the Water Company
from the Cumberland river that
was causing it all.
The Water Company, which is
under the management of Messrs.
r. H. hewitt and c. P. Kennedy,
of this city, set about to make it
better and give its consumers
better water and at a less cost.
In order to do this it was neces-
sary to drill water wells and to
install additional machinery and
storage. They have installed a
new 60 horse power gas engine
and a large air pump and other
machinery.
We nov have the best water
there is, pumped from deep wells,
and the fear of typhoid is over.
Going to the old we'll in the back
yard for a drink of water is a
thing of the past.

great deal of credit for the man.

Presidential Rage COntin-
JseS.

The decision of the President
not to speak at the centennial
celebration of st. Johns Church
in Washington is generally attrib-
uted by Republicans of the Sen
ate to the fact that Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, who
recently denounced the Presi-
dents peace note, was scheduled
to speak on the same occasion.
IF this country has reached a
point, remarked one Senator,
where the President cannot be
criticized without punishment be-
ing inflicted on the critic we are
in the same situation as the sub
iects of the Gar. It's suggest
ed than effectual way to retaliate
would be for the Republican
Senators to boycott the President
when he comes to the Capitol to

The higher grades Of soft coal can

and must be so used in furnaces and
other equipment in which it can be
so used, restricting the use Of hard

PROPER SHELTER SAVES DAIRY

Concentrates and roughage make
very costly fuel with which to warm
dairy cows sheltered on the leeward
side of wire fence these cold win
try days. Proper shelter decreases
the fuel, feed, cost, and results in in
creased milk production.
Successful dairy farmers do not
overfeed, and do not feed from dirty
pals, but they do feed regularly the
heifer calves that are to grow into
profitable cows. They also provide
dry, well-lighted and ventilated pens.
Careful consideration must be Civ
