Combs have been used in the toilet since very ancient times. The Greeks the Egyptian and the Roman ladies used them to arrange and hold up their hair; even ladies among the Swiss lake dwellers seem to have been familiar with them. Some of these were made of wood, some of bone, of horn or of ivory. Specimens have often been found in recent years.

more for future profit than. any

UNDER COVER OF WAR.

continue to put this war into poll
tics at every opportunity, The a.
ministrati0n asked to be reelected
bocause we were not In war. and
now 1t Il asking endorsement be-
CAUSE we are. Champ Clark calls for
the election Of . Democratic house
and senate because we are in war.
Atevery turn we md the war used
e camounage democratic inefficien-
~, extravaganza. partisanship. sec
tloaalism and economic unsoundness.
lnA1913-14, before the war began.
~ Industrial depression thruout

question the disastrous effects Of
~ democratic tariff law. but now
the administration would eyade dig
cussion of that subject on the 1lsa
that We are In war and that new
conditions viii be presented after
pe9ce has been declared.
1t IL true that we arc in war. and
e ID true that there are no demo-
Gratis In either official or private
life who are more jealous or more
effective in supporting the vigorous
prosecution OF that war than are
republicans In and out Of Congress.
So far IS the war Il concerned. vic
tory win be promoted rather than
retarded by giving republicans .
large share in its prosecution. And
In the solution Of the after-the-war
problems. there will be = tremen-
dous advantage in having republic
cans in control of the government.
A. admitted by the New York
Times (democrat). the war revenue
legislation was sectional and so in
tended" That Is what we must ex-
pSct from any future legislation by
the democratic party. dominated as
1t Is by the south. And the section
alism is not and will not be limited
to revenue legislation. The same
spirit of favoritism that fixes q
maximum price ON wheat and let's
cotton command Its own price. will
not hesitate to secure. by either leg
islation or administration. any other
unfair advantage to the section Of
the country which finds highest
favor In the eyes Of the party In
power.
And the war will be made the
means and excuse for perpetrating
injustices and discrimination Of this
kind. Because we are in war. the
people will be asked to overlook
ineQuitable administration Of gov.
eminent business. Because we are
n war the voters will be asked to
select members Of the house and
senate, as he has tried to do in
Wisconsin. Michigan and other
states Because we are in war, the
people will be asked to forget that
this is republican form Of govern
YAent and permit one man or small
group of men to define patriotism
IN terms of partisanship and place
the brand of near-treason upon the
hrows of men who dare to think
and speak in disagreement with the
administration on matter of govern
1hent in which one mans judgement
is as good as any others.
That this is the policy Of the ad-
ministration has been demonstrated
In the past. 1t would be worse
than folly to expect any thing diff
1erent in the future.
