EXERCISE nf.F cArr1nr

With the idea of preventing accidents which it is realized are liable to happen but can be prevented by the exercise of proper care, an appeal is being made in certain cities to the drivers of auto- mobiles and wagons by the trolley com psnies 10 end the careless habit of cut ting in ahead of the cars at this season of the year when leaves on the track make it much more difficult to check the cars as quickly as on a good rail and thereby increases the chances for acci- dents
 In the use of the highways there should be a disposition not only to look out for self but to contribute to the safety of others While it may not be expected that autos or wagons should not use the car tracks quite as much as other parts of street, it is to be appre. cisted that there IS reason back of the request which calls for the sudden turn ing into the course of an oncoming trol Icy which cannot dodge 10 one side bu must depend upon it's brakes to keep i trOrn striking what may be in the way.

of a people who have a special interest for students of racial history Sardin-
 ans are small of stature. Even their soldiers have an average height a frac- tion under five feet four inches. One theory is that they are the purest re- maining descendants of the so-called Mediterranean race; another that they descended from certain African pgymy peoples, a speculation of peculiar inter est in view of the present discussion over the reported finding of a race of pygmies in the Belgian Kongo by Dr. Leonard J. Tanderbergh, an American missionary. Lady Stanley has asserted that her husband Henry M. Stanley. re- fers to the same little people in his book In Darkest Africa.
 Other factors than it's geography contributed to Sardinia's isolation. Once it was the Siberia of the Roman Empire the graves were kept waiting for some convicts. Later it was afflicted by the medieval type of the Kentucky feud the vendetta, and modern science found a new ds3ger greatly exaggerated for a time in malaria

SENTIMENT IS REPUBLICAN.

Straw votes do not take the place of an election. They nevertheless indicate what the sentiment of the people is on important questions even though only tie enthusiastic participate for there is no monopoly on enthusiasm.
 In connection with the straw vote which is being taken by a drug concern in it's stores throughout the country, it is to be noted that up to last Friday night the count showed that over 60o,O00 peo- pie in the 4S states had displayed their interest and indicated their choice fer president.
 Harding is disclosed by the figures to be the leader by a substantial najcr- votes to over 242,O0O for Cox showing that the lead which he had in previous weeks was still being maintained. Wo- men as well as men are participating in all but three southern states with the ratio running about three to one, but whether the votes of the women or the men are considered there is displayed a much stronger demand for Harding than for Cox with the women manifesting that inclination a bit more strongly than the men.
 As might be expected the south is safely democratic although Tennessee shows a large vote for Harding. Like wise Kentucky, Oklahoma and Missouri appear to be democratic states though ir Missuori the voting is decidedly close while Maryland for the time being ap- pears to be on the republican side by g small margin. Otherwise even states ir which democratic hopes have been bol stered up are showing the effects of the strong running republican tide. The country is voting for a change. I has had experience enough of the kind which it knows will be continued of z democrat is elected, and the ,electora college vote of 35S for Harding to 17S 1 for Cox indicates that by the straw ! vote Harding has substantial lead. i is 8 lead which not only needs to bt maintained but sight must not be lost O 1 the importance that is attached to see 1 ing that the senate and house are alst safely republican.

Scarlet Fever,


 Within a week-sometimes within two or three days-after your child has been exposed to scarlet fever, if she is a susceptible person you will hear her con- plain of sore throat. Vomiting and fever accompany the sore throat, and from F to 36 hours later bright red rash will appear on her neck and chest. This spreads rapidly over the whole body, with the exception of the face which usually pes.
 By this time you will be pretty sure you have well developed case of scar let fever on your hands, and the con- plications and after effects of this dis ease may be so serious that no mother should attempt to 1ande a case alone Deafness may result from Scarlet fever and it is not an unknown thing to have a child die suddenly from kidney dis ease after it was thought he had entirely recovered from an attack of scarlet fev. CT.
 If your child has the above symptom. send for a competent physician who vii guide you through the pitfalls of this disease. He will tell you that it is con tageous from the very beginning until al discharges from the nose, throat ant ears have ceased, usually a period O. about five weeks
 <Desquamation, or peeling. generally be 1 gins about the eighth day. but the flake. and scales are not now looked upon 9. l likely 10 be contagious. The patient l himself, and anything Clothing, toys, up | holstery, etc), which have been contam mated by discharges from his nucuou membranes are the chief infecting agents | Hence, the importance of keeping the pa tient and anything which he has uset i from corning in contact with other chil dren.
 As a rule, scarlet fever keeps a chil, I out of school about six weeks. but this 1 of course, depends upon the cessation o ] all discharges from the nose, throat cars and any glands which may hay broken down in the course of the dis ease.
 A frequent means of spreading scar let fever are the mild cases-those chil dren who do not feel really i'll, an5 perhaps complain of nothing but mil sore throat. - But these cases are jus as courageous as severe ones, and jus as apt to be followed by ear and kid | ney troubles Unfortunately, too, a yer severe case may be contracted from very mild one, and the mother wh, sends her child to school with a sor throat runs the risk of causing som other child to suffer great harm an perhaps death.

BASEBALL CONTROL.

Perhaps it was natural, following the disclosures which have been made in connection with the throwing of the worlds series of last year, that there should be those who urged the adoption of legislation dealing with such condi- tions. Unless we are mistaken there is sufficient law for dealing with the cases as the prosecutions in. Chicago should show before the matter is completed, so that the idea of passing more laws for the prevention of bribing would handle the matter no more efficiently. Betting and gambling are carried on today in violation of law and to adopt legislation dealing with such ma tiers would un- doubted1y result quite as ineffective in the way of enforcement as the prohibit ton amendment
 Great reliance must he placed upon the players and upon the managers 10 keep the game clean and on the level. Let it be understood that no team will harbor a player who is involved in any i plans to throw a game or a series. and there will be a marked improvement in , the game. and what is expected of the players must likewise be made to in clude the managers. Much depends up- on their actions If players, or some of them, have gotten the idea into their heads that the game can be made crook cd without anybody being the wiser il
 ought to be dispelled by recent disclos-
 ures.
 Organized baseball must travel the
 straight and narrow path for some time
 to come if it is expected that public con fidence will be restored. And in tha- connection it cannot help being felt tha
 the suggestion which has been made
 that control of professional ball be placec

NATIONALIsM BEFORE INTERNAL
 TiONALIsM.

In the present campaign the people of this country are going to give consider alton 10 what needs to be done for the best interests of this country. They well know what the policies of the Will son administration have brought forth. they know what tremendous waste there has been, they understand what futile efforts have been made to keep the promises and what a strong tendency there is to internationalism rather than uatiopalism.
 It cannot fail to be appreciated that the continuance of the democratic admin istration will mean 8 continuance of these policies Having had experience with them there cannot be overlooked the necessity of bringing about a complete change by the election of republican president and republican congress for the correction of the conditions. and when it comes 10 q league of nations nothing appeals more strongly to the eople than the fact that if We are going Co attempt a plan for avoiding war in Inc future We ought to avoid the dangers which have been pointed out in connec- ton with the covenant as brought from
 
 from which we have steered clear for many years and place ourselves as a fighting force on land and sea at the beck and call of European nations where wars are the rule rather than the sx- ceQtion.
 The issue as t is shaped now is whether we shall go into the so-called Wilson league, the league which he in- sisted that the democratic senators should stand by. Governor Cox declares that he is for going in. Senator Hard ing does not favor that particular league He declares that he will never submit that Wilson league to the senate with article ten in it and that he is opposed io the obligations under the provisions of the league that would be dangerous io this country.
 Senator Harding doesn't believe in go ing in with our eyes shut We hav, discovered many reasons why we should not undertake the obligations that would be imposed and the tme to avoid then Is before rather than after getting in.

Many are the people in different cit les who have seen the trolley service curtsNed because Of the inability of the companies to get sufficient income to make ends meet In others there has been an entire loss of such service. Trou- bie of various kinds has contributed to the revelations concerning the depend- ence that is placed upon street cars. Also there has been a general increase in trol ley fares with the view to getting a fair return for the investment and service. Sufficient relief has been obtained in some instances but not in others.
 For that reason there cannot fail to he much interest manifested in the ex- pertinent which is to be made by the city Of New York in carrying out the agreement which has been entered into hetween the receivers of the Staten Isl and companies and the city whereby the city will operate the lines and charge only a five cent fare.
