ROOSEVELT WOULD
tEJECT LAFOLLETTE

Kansas City, Sept. 24.-sH'If were
this minute a member of the United |
States senate would be ashamed to
sit in that body until / found out
some method Of depriving Senator
La Toilette of his seat in that cham |
Der which he now disgraces by his |
presence there" Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt declared in a talk today /,
at a luncheon given for Major GEN
eral Leonard Wood and himself as
part Of the middle western patriotic
celebration of this city
Continuing his remarks concern
ing congress, the former president as
serted that If congress had taken the
action three years age that it has
since the declaration of war, the war
would have been over.
IF we take heed of any peace ut
terance Germany prepares we will
show that we are not prepared yet
to go out into the world without
guardian" the colonel added. Amer
lea must make good the words of
President Wilson, Make the world
safe for dmocracy.' For this reason
we should declare war against Aus
tria and Turkey"
At the conclusion of his talk Col
Roosevelt was presented with a gold
quill, with the reminder that the pen
is mightier than the sword.
But would rather have sword
the colonel said. This is very ex-
elusive war as far as am concerned.
l was blackballed by the committee
on admission"
Major General Leonard Wood in a
speech following the former presi-
dent, said, cit is utter foolishness to
say that America can win the war in
the air or with chemical devices; it
can only be won with men and with
sacrifice"
After praising Mai. Gen. Wood,
Colonel Roosevelt said:
Now that have spoken to you of
Americans who stand for and are rep
resentatiye OF America, l now wish
TO speak to you for a minute OF an
American who represents the worst
of American characteristics-Sen
La Toilette.
Senator La Toilette is at this mo-
ment serving one country Loyalty and
efficiently-Germany. He is acting
in such fashion as to make him one
of the most potent enemies of this
country and a most sinister enemy
OF democracy. He claims-and It IL
the emptiest Of all claims-to stand
for democracy. He is doing every.
thing in his power to enthrone autoc.
racy under the German flag throuph,
out the world by the attitude he IL
now taking toward the war. He II
showing himself the worst enemy
that democracy has now alive.
II read a couple of days ago Of
Senator La Follette,s utterances be
fore an organization out in Mime
apolis and hreafter any organization
that asks Senator LaFollette to speal
ought to be made to show conclusive
ly why It should considered a patri
otto organization hereafter

Glass and Razor as Diet.

Were it not for the fact that glass
and hardware have taken such leaps
in prices Charles Cooper, a big col
ored fellow Of Spokane, Wash, would
have the high cost Of living eliminated
from llfes worries, says the Spokane
Chronicle.
Cooper was arrested for larceny and
while confined in Jail heard that his
sweetheart had gone back on him. He
thereupon smashed up jelly glass
and ate 1t. The county doctor set
the date for his death as the glass
slowly ground into him. But Charles
only had a bad stomachache. Later
he ate a hatpin, some safety pins and
other pieces Of metal, according to the
disclosures Of the X-ray.
Now he is out Of Jail and on his
honeymoon trip.
After 1t seemed that Cooper had be-
come reconciled to diet of bread and
potatoes he suddenly became rave
nous one day and ate safety razor
blade, broken In small pieces. The
doctor told the coroner to be ready,
but Cooper fooled him again and was
reduced once more to meat and spuds
and hardtack.

Privileges of ConsuIs.

Consuls do not occupy the same ia
vored position as diplomatic agents in
the eyes Of international law. Their
business is not with affairs between
state and state, but with protecting
the interests of individuals in a for
eign country. Thus, though they en-
Joy several of the immunities Of pub
lie minister, they do so as a courtesy,
not as a right.
All civilized custom, however, Sc
cures them a safe-conduct, and their
papers and in many cases the consular
buildings are held inviolable. In prac-
tice, though not by law, consuls them
selves are not subject to arrest, save
for serious crime, and this exception
holds good also In the case of diplo-
mats, though these would probably
only be detained until taken into their
own country's custody.

Battlefield Mascots,

An Irish soldier who had come out
Of the recent fierce fighting with a Sc
we're scalp wound had the follow
ing collection of charms: Piece Of bog
oak; prayer written by a French girl
withered shamrock; piece Of wood
from a saints cell.
While many mascots are presents
from mother, sister or sweetheart,
some possess no sentimental associa-
tions. Quaint little idols carved In
wood and lead, moonstones, bent coins
and teeth Of small animals are among
the treasured charms. Most soldiers
are shy of confessing their faith in
mascots, says the London Chronicle.
but hospital nurses soon learn Of these
hostages Of luck.

door Opened-a voice with crisp ring
to II that sounded always younger than
his years. What they heard the but
Ter say to him was disconcerting.
you're terribly wet, sirl"
Frederica turned on her husband a
look of despair. Hes walked through
that ralnl Do run down and send
him up to me. can imagine how he'll
look"
She was mistaken about that,
though. For once Frederick had over
estimated her powers, stimulated
though they were by the way she heard
her husband say:
"Praise heaven you can wear my
clothes. Run along upstairs and break
yourself gently to Freddy"
She heard him come squudging up
the stairs and along the hall, ana
then In her doorway she saw him. His
baggy gray tweed suit was dark with
water and toned down by a liberal
stipple Of mud spatters. Both his side
pockets had been, apparently, strained
to the utmost to accommodate what
looked like a bunch of pasteboard-
bound notebooks, now far on the way
to their original pulp, and Topped de-
spondently outward. A melancholy
pool had already begun forming about
his feet. His face, above the dis
NAL wreck, beamed good-humored, in
nocent affection at her. 1t was a
big-featured, strong, rosy face, and the
unmistal1able intellectual power Of it,
which became apparent the moment
he got his faculties into action, had
a trick of hiding, at other times, behind
mere robust simplicity.
"Good gracious ~ he said. 81 didn't
know you were going to have a party.
1 thought it would just be the family.
So instead of dressing, I thought I'd
walk. And then it came on to rain,
so 1 took a street car-and got put
off. And here am"
"Yes. here you are" said Frederica.
'Don't be impossible, Rod. Don't you
even know whose birthday party this
is?"
He looked at her, frowned, then
laughed. He had a great, big laugh.
81 thought 1t was one of the kids"
he said.
"Well, it isn't" she told him. "It's
yours. And the people we're having
were asked to meet you. And you've
got just about seven minutes to get
into Martins other dress suit. I'll
send Walters to lay it out"

Sincerity in Taste.

The only sure way to cultivate taste
is by the exercise of a fearless SINGER
ity. To adopt the opinion of another
as to what we feel or ought to feel is
an absurdity in terms. Feeling is a prl-
vate experience; the pretense of feel
ing is peculiarly dangerous form Of
untruth. The honest, perfectly truth
full beginner in the study of pictures
will like and dislike with vengeance.
But simple unbiased, leisurely readl-
ness to accept what the painter has to
show us will lead in tlmc to a growth
of insight.
AS our knowledge and receptivity in
crease we shall find that we grow less
intolerant of the things which ut first
we did not like. Our taste will tend to
become cathollc.--Mary Innes.

Get a 10.cent box.


Are you keeping your bowels, liver,
and stomach clean, pure and fresh
with Cascarets, or merely forcing q
passageway every, few days with
Salts, Cathartic Pills, Castor OIL or
Purgative Waters?
Stop having a bowel wash-day. Let
Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and reg
ulate the stomach, remove the sour
and fermenting food and foul gases,

and carry out of the system all the
constipated waste matter and poisons

THE BIG STEP

Most romantic fiction ends
with the hero and heroine about
to marry and "live happy ever
after" The author of this un-
usual serial begins his story
with marriage and carries the
romance for a period Of several
years into the realm Of double
harness." Taking a couple from
the well-to-do scale of the
Middle West social scheme, Mr..
Webster uses them to bring out
some of the important problems
confronting a great many young
men and women who enter the
bonds of matrimOny in these
days of equal suffrage, Of wom-
en- who'd rather work down
town than stay at home, and of
new complications in the busi-
ness Of raising a family. "The
Real Adventure" is thoroughly
alive with action. You will en-
joy the story not only for its ro-
nance but for the element in 1t
that will make you think-and
ponder the intimate happenings
in your own family and in the
families Of your neighbors.

on principle. But-well, really unless
we could prove that l paid my fare

hold of me, but then-well, think what

He grumbled that this was non
sense-the man had been guilty at least
of excessive zeal-but he didn't urge
her, any further, to complain.

now announced, peering around the
end of the wall. you will let me

CHAPTER II.

What Happened to Frederiea's Plan
At twenty-seven minutes after seven
that evening, Frederick Whitney was
about ten minutes before the hour at
which she had invited guests to dinner
not quite near enough dressed to
prevent feeling that she had to
hurry. Ordinarily she didn't mind. To
Frederick at thirty, the job Of being
a radiantly delightful object of regard
lacked the sporting interest Of I'M
certainty-was almost too simple a
matter to bother about.
But tonight she wished she'd started
half an hour earlier. Even her hus-
band discovered it. He brought in a
cigarette, and stood smiling down at
her with the complacent look that
characterizes married man Of forty
when he finds himself dressed in eve
ming harness ten minutes before his
wife. She shot a glance of rueful in
quiry at him, and asked him what time
1t was.
"Seven twenty-five thirty-six," he
told her. She made no comment ex-
cept with her eyebrows, but he must
have been looking at her, for he want
ed to know, good-humoredly, what all
the excitement was about.
"YOu could go down as you are
and not a man here tonight would
know the difference. And as for the
womenAwell, if they have something
on you for once, they'll be all the
better pleased"
"Don't try to be knowing and philo-
sophical, and-Havelock Ellis, Martin
DEAR" she admonished him, pending
a minute operation with an infinitesl-
NAL hairpin. ut isn't your lay a bit.
Just concentrate your mind on one
thing, and that's being nice to Her
mione Woodruff, and on seeing that
Roddy is."
He asked, "Why Rodneyr" in a tone
that matched hers; looked at her,
widened his eyes, said "Huh!" to him
self and, finally, shook his head.
Nothing to it," he pronounced.
She dispatched the maid with the
key to the wall safe in her husbands
room. "Why isn't theref" she demand
ed. Rodney won't look at young girls.
They bore him to death. But Her
mione can understand fully half the
things he talks about. She's got lots
of tact and skill, she's good-looking
and no older than and I'm two years
younger than Roddy. She'll appreci-
ate real husband, after having been
married five years to John Woodruff.
And she's rich enough, now, so that
his wild-eyed way Of practicing law
won't matter"
"All very nice and reasonable" he
conceded, "but somehow the notion Of
Rodney Aldrich trying to marry a
rich widow is one I'm not equal to-"
He looked at his watch again. "By the
way, didn't you say he was coming
early?"
She nodded. They heard, just then,
faint and far away, the ring of the
doorbell.
"Wait q second" he said. "Let's
see If it's Roddy."
There was no mistaking the voice
they heard speaking the moment the

AcademicaIIY Defined.

The professor Of mathematics In the
college had been married, and now the
problem Of subsistence upon a small
salary beset him sore. He and his
wife put into effect all sorts Of econo-
mics and efficient methods to make
ends meet.
"And does your wife help you to
saver" a friend inquired.
"Indeed she does" replied the pro-
fessor. "In fact, might call her my
co-efficient."

MoLDs THAT FIT THE FEET
Invention Of Shoemaker Expert En-
abIes Even the Badly Afflicted
to Walk With Ease.

Work of truly remarkable character
is being done by shoemaker-an or
thopedic expert-of New York, in the
fitting of shoes to those who find diff
ficulty in walking in ordinary footgear,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine. For
ordinary cases series of "inner foot
molds" has been prepared, in sizes to
fit various feet. These resemble or
binary insoles in general appearance,
but the upper surfaces are uneven,
having indentations and projections
that insure q contact anatomically per-
feet for the soles of the feet. The
edges are curved slightly upward.
When molds are found In which the
feet rest in comfort, supporting the
weight of the body in perfect balance,
these molds are worn inside shoes Of
suitable size. The feet then rest on
a sort Of cup-shaped cushion and are
kept from pressing unevenly against
hard, fiat surfaces such as are found
in ordinary shoes In footwear thus
fitted, the weight of the body Is equally
distributed to the parts Of the feet
best able to sustain 1t, all of the foot
surface being used. A normal condi-
ton for the feet is thus made pos
sible, and the bones, muscles and liga-
ments are permitted to move natural
ly. Some extraordinary cases have also
been successfully fitted with footwear
after walking had become a burden
or seeming impossibility.

Why She Sent a Substitute.

The loan department of the welfare
board and the woman outside the rail
had agreed on the amount of the loan
she wished on the diamond ring, says
the Kansas City Star.
"Your name?" the loan clerk asked.
"It isn't my ring" she replied. "It
belongs to a friend"
She named the owner.
Couldn't she come herself for the
loan?"
'No, not very WELL" she answered.
"You see, her home was robbed last
night and all her clothes stolen. She
must borrow money on the ring to buy
new ones. She sent me to get the
money and to buy the clothes"
The loan was made.

functory cry all along. But at this
crisis his voice got new urgency.
"Come on now," he proclaimed, you'll
have to get inside!'
From the steps the new arrivals
pushed, the conductor pushed, and the
sheeplike docility of an American
crowd helped him. Regretfully, with
the rest, Rose made her way to the
door.
"Fare, please! he said sharply as
she came along.
She toM him she had paid her fare !;
but for some reason he elected not
to believe her.
"When did you pay2" he demanded.
"A block back" she said, "when all
those other people got on"
"You didn't pay 1t to me-" he said
truculently. "Come alongl Pay your
fare or get OFF the carl"
II paid 1t once" she said quietly,
"and I'm not going to pay 1t again."
