connection with the glazed caps COM
monty worn at the time.
Colonel George +. Bissell. who was
marshal, noticed the uniform, put the
wearers In front where the novelty
of the rig and its double advantage
OF utility and show attracted. 1t was
proposed at once to form a campaign
cub of fifty torch bearers, with glazed
caps and oilcloth capes instead of cam
bric. A meeting to organize formally
was appointed March @, but before the
new uniforms were ready Abraham
Lincoln addressed meeting In Hart
ford on the evening of March 5. After
his speech the cap wearers OF the pre-
vious meeting. with n number of 9TH
ers who had secured their uniforms,
escorted Mr.. Lincoln to the hotel.
The club was definitely organized on
the following night. Just one year
thereafter this club attended the In.
auguration of Lincoln In a body. The
Wide Awakes were organized by both
political parties in later campaigns.

HEALTH TALKS
BY DR.. R. r. Daniels.
How Many Meals Daily?

In some parts of Europe 1t is the
habit to eat five meals daily. although
the war has probably curtailed the
usual number of meals. In our coun-
tsy the customary three meals is often
increased to four by the habitual
might owl" Again, many persons
seem to thrive on two meals daily
What is the proper number of meals?
The body needs about so much food
of the various kinds each twenty. four
hours; the human engine needs about
a certain amount OF fuel. In how
many meals can this be supplied to
the best advantage?
The answer to this question is to be
found in the study of the physiology
of digestion. The stomach plays the
part OF reservoir for the food, the
food being halted IN the stomach,
mixed thoroughly with the hydro
chloric acid present Ia that organ and
passed slowly in quantities sufficiently
small to be easily digested in the
small intestines. In Investigations of
the stomach by means OF the X ray it
has been demonstrated definitely that
10 most persons the stomach does not
empty even after moderate meal 10
much less time than six hours. II we
add TO this two hours rest for the
stomach, for we cannot expect this
organ to work constantly without
rest, We have eight hours, the period
which should intervene between the
meas. To conform to these 10 tervals
for taking food it is necessary To
limit ourselves to only two meals per
daY.
Not only is the two meal day plan
the physiologic plan, but In eating in
this way most persons will actually
digest more food than when eating
three meals daily. This for the
reason that the increased period of
rest between the meals increases the
power OF digestion and enables the
digestive organs to do more work.
The best hours for the two meals are
s a. IN. a0d-4 p. m. But the break
fast may be taken earlier and the
dinner later. About the only excep-
tion to this plan should be 10 the case
of those doing hard muscular work
Such persons use up so much food
that the process of digestion is
qulckened. In thin persons an early
breakfast and late dinner will permit
a light lunch at noon.

For IA Bilious Attack.

Wfan you have severe headache,

Lincoln "Wide
AWakes'' of 1860

~ NE of the peculiar introductions
n into the first Lincoln political
campaign was the Wide Awake
marching clubs, which, 1t has
been claimed, went very far toward
winning for him the election. These
political marching bodies met with so
much success that the custom was con-
tinued for more than a score of years
thereafter, says the Philadelphia Press.
The uniform of the Wide Awakes
consisted of cap and large cape of
enameled cloth, and each one carried a
torch. The capes were of a variety of
colors, and naturally a procession of
Wide Awakes was picturesque and
striking Many OF the clubs had Wide
Awakes' stamped upon the capes as
well as other insignia. The torch was
small tin fount with a burner and
wick for kerosene fastened to stick
about the size and length of a broom
stick. Toward the end of this cam
paign a few companies came out with
a swing torch.
The Wide Awakes were carefully
drilled by their captains, and many of
them on parades would go through in
tricate evolutions. These clubs were
organized all over the country, and If
an outlying town or village had pro-
cession or flag raising the clubs OF the
vicinity were supposed to turn out and
frequently marched several miles In
doing so. 1t has been estimated that
there were more than 100000 voters
In duly organized Wide Awake clubs.
Some historians have made the as
sertion that It was the Wide Awakes
that elected Lincoln, and this is prob
ably not very far from the truth. The
movement seemed to be a spontaneous
outburst of the people from one end of
the north to the other. Every town,
village and city had it's company of
Wide Awakes, marching, drilling and
maneuvering.
The Wide Awakes organization grew
out of the first campaign meet
ing in Hartford, Conn, on Feb. %,
1S60-the state election campaign.
Hon. Cassius NJ. Clay was the speak
err, and after the meeting was escorted
to the Allyn House by a torchlight
parade. Two of the young men who
were to carry torches-D. G. Francis
and II. p. Blair = being dry goods

Rum a nd Industry Don't Mix

The license court of Delaware
county, Pa, in response to the plea
that rum and industry do not mix,
during holiday week refused three
applications for license against
which business organizations entere d
protest. The remonstrance of the
Sun Shipbuilding Company, ofChes-

hotel within half square of the paw
gate OF the company. Licenses were
also refused the Millbourne hotel
which must be passed by the en-
ployes of the traction companies and
thousands of pa .engers, and for the
opening of saloon in Fernwood
against which two manufacturing
companies protested.

Drop Road Bond Plan.

Ceur d'Alene, Feb. Good
roads boosters, headed by !. V.
Hawkins, are planning to form an
independent highway district in
Guiding Fourth of July canyon,
then bond this district for about
$40, 900 in order to complete the
highway and take advantage Of
state and federal appropriations.
This was discussed at the cham
Der OF commerce today. The plan
heretofore had been to bond the
entire county for at least 5000, 600
and use SOS, 1000 on the canyon
road, the balance to be distributed
about the county. This proposal
was dropped after consideration
/ was given the report of the state
highway association, which showed
that entirely too large a sum would
be required to build complete
;; system of highways in this county.
A committee, with Mr.. Hawkins
as chairman, and including Robert
Elder, E. P. Browne and Bert
Carscallen, was named to confer
with property owners within the
proposed district in order to sound
their wishes in the matter.

Sunday Closing In Illin OILS
From Union Signal,


The fight to close saloons on Sum-
day is being vigorously waged
throughout illinois. Mayor Thomp-
son again pledges his support to the
movement TO keep the saloons of
Chicago closed on the first day of
the week, Sunday closing went in
to effect in East St. Louis the first
Sunday of the new year, and the
brewers announce that they will not
fight the new ruling. This action
was in large measure due to Tie
disclosures Of Judge Kenesaw Lands
who found most Of the cases brought
before him were due to the lawless
saloons of the city. Peoria is the
last city i'll the state to hold out
against Sunday closing, but the law
enforcement elem emf is gaining
strength, and the victory for Sunday
closing is not far distant.

ECONOMY IN LEATHER.
Simple Meausres Recommended For
Increasing the Wear Of Shoes.

soldies' shoes, leather for harness.
leather for equipment of many kinds.
In this country there is no such SIR

of IL; and 1t is wasting leather not

we manage them rightly. they viii
last longer, we will not need so many
new ones, and there will be fore left
for others. The following sagges-
lions from the Leather and Paper
Laboratory of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture can be util-
lied by Everyone who walks.
Shoes should be oiled or creased
whenever the leather begins to get
hard or dry. They should be brush
ed thoroughly, and then all the dirt
and mud that remains washed oil
with warm water, the excess water
being taken off with dry cloth
While the shoes are still wet and
warm, apply the oil or grease With
swab of wool or flannel Il il best
to have the oil or grease about as
warm as the hand can bear. and Il
should be rubbed we'll II to the ieath-
er, preferably with tile palm. If
necessary the oil can be applied to
dry leather, but IL penetratas better
when the latter is wet. After tr at
ment, the shoes should be left in a
dry place that is warm not hot.
Castor oil is satisfactory for shoe
that are to be polished. Tor palmer
footgear meats foot. fish oil, o. define
may be substituted II it is desired
to make the shoes and boots more
waterproof, beef tallow may be add
ed TO any of these substances az the
rate of half a pound Of tallow TO a
pint of OIL The edge Of the sole and
the welt should be creased thorough
~ Too much grease can net be APP
piled to these parts.
A simple method of making the
soles more durable, AMI water resist
ant is to swab them occasionally with
linseed oil, setting them aside TO dry
overnight.
Many OF the common shoe polish
es are harmful to leather. al those
which contain sulphuric, hydroch,cr-
ic, or oIaic acids. turpanina. hen
zine, or other volatile solvents. have
a tendency to harden The lsataer and
make il more liable u crack
1t is poor economy, too. To wear
shoe with the heel badly worn on
one side. This throws the shoo out
of shape and may soon result IN its
ruin. II ia also likely to cause lam-
porary injury TO the foot.
Harness leather, like shoes. can
not be neglected without iunlury that
itssens its durability II shoulI be
washed and oiled Frequently. 9he
washing should be done in tepid wa
te' with a neutral soap and sponge
or stiff brush. After r'rsing in c.ean
tepid water, the harness Is hung MP
10 drain a little while before oiling.
For driving harness neat's-foot or
castor oil is best, but for heavy har-
ness there may be some tallow in the
oil. The applications should be light
for driving and liberal for heavy
harness. The oil, warm TO the hand.
is rubbed thoroughly into the leath-
er while It IS still wet from washing.
Excess oil which the leather Is UNI
able TO take up should be removed
with a clean, dry cloth.
