ART AND SCIENCE IN TOYS
Playthings for the Riddles Necessary
to the Proper Conduct Of
Their Society.

WHILE the making of toys is an
w art that is probably practically
as old as the world itself, 1t has been
only within recent years that science
has bothered itself about them. Less
than half century ago they were re-
garded merely as playthings-amus-
ing diversions for children that were
by no means necessary to their we'll
being. Today, however, science insists
that there is a well-defined philosophy
underlying the use Of toys; that they
are the tools with which the little ones
ply their trade; the paraphernalia nec-
essary to the proper conduct Of their
society; that dolls, for example, are
more to them than the associates that
help to entertain them in that they
aid them in the attainment of their
mental growth by stimulating the
natural emotions which must be ex-
perienced In later life.
Whether this theory Of the scientists
is correct or not, the fact remains that
children have always had the play
things requisite for their limitations of
the domestic life and business affairs
Of older people; that they have always
required their elders to provide them
with such inventions, and that, when
they could not obtain these toys by
any other means they themselves have
sought and found objects that might
be made to suit their purposes. Even
the somnOlent middle Ages did not put
an end to their pastimes. The toys In
which they found diversion may have
been more simple, but, as they met
the demands of nature they played
their allotted part in the scheme Of
human development.-Public Opinion.

Ancient Christmas Custom.

Many quaint customs are observed
at Christmas time in various English
country parishes. In that of CumnOr,
in Berkshire, of which the living is a
vicarage and the church beautiful
specimen of an old English parochial
edifice, all who pay tithes repair, af-
ter evening service on Christmas day,
to the vicarage where the vicar Is
held in duty bound, by a usage CEN
turies old, to regale them with four
bushels Of malt brewed into ale or
beer, two bushels of wheat baked into
bread, and half hundred weight Of
cheese. Any remnants of this feast
are distributed among the poor Of the
parish after morning prayer the next
day.

Bring Smiles of eIadness.

1t is not so much the thought of re-
ceiving the customary holiday gifts
which most pleases the fancy, but
rather that pleasure the heart derives
from dwelling upon joyful surprises
It may bestow upon others. To bring
smile Of gladness upon another's
face is, indeed, boon more precious
than a Christmas gift. and the Joy
Of hestowin. ran never be equaled b.
the receiving.

somebody she has kept her list Of the

thus avoid the risk of repeating her

has made mental or written notes from

which she has heard desire expressed
by friends. Such note taking will
greatly lessen her labors.
For 1t is no light thing to choose
Christmas gifts judiciously. The
whole secret of their acceptability lies
in their appropriateness. Not only
must they be appropriate to the per-
son from whom they come and to whom
they 60, but to the circumstances in
which the latter is placed. For an in
stance there are few housekeepers
who do not welcome an addition Of
fine linen to their store. But If to a
housekeper who lives plainly In SIM

about the gift that robs 1t Of much Of
Its charm.-Harper's Bazaar.

Talking about things that help
people. I have just received a letter
from my sister in Waterloo, Iowa,
telling me she has gained sixteen
pounds in weight by taking Tanlac"
said A. E. Steiner. AGO East Page street
st. Paul, MINI, recently.
My sister was on a visit to me \
short while ago. and as she was suf-
fering from stomach trouble some one
advised her to try Tanlac. which she
did, and as I saw the great benefit
she was getting from it l decided to
try it myself, for I had ben troubled
with my stomach for the past two
years. had a very poor appetite.
and the little I did manage to eat
seemed to lodge right in the pit OF
my stomach and sour. l would bloat
terribly after eating and have the
worst sort of crampinE pains in my
stomach. and at times [ had such bad

shoulder blades and arms. which got
so bad I could hardly do my work and
could not even put on my coat with
out assistance. ! was so nervous I
could get but little sleep and would
roll and toss from one side of the bed

get up in the morning all tired out.
I was so badly run down and had lost

mittee of which John A Edwards. of
Eureka, was a member. Edwards had
previously sought an endorsement
from the district as a recommends

States senate against Senator Curtis.
Mrs. r. H. Trueblood, of Yates Cen
ter, was chairman of the Fourth dis
trict convention. She was the first
woman to preside over a political dis
trict convention in Kansas. What is
more, the wife of the Yates Center edi-

too.
White On democrats"
Outstanding in the Fourth district
convention, was the speech of William
Allen White of Emporia, following his
election as a delegate. White, who is
safely home from his Bull Moose wan
behring's, told the delegates of the sins
of the Democrats.
'One term of Democrat administra-
ton comes every now and then" said
White. ut is the necessary flea on
the dog. But it can't herd the sheep.
A Democrat administration for one
term Is mistake. Two terms is
calamity. Three terms would be

jected into the running. He carried
full Cowley county delegation which
also was willing to go to the mill for
Allen. Then AL f. Williams and c. A.

Cherokee county delegation. Delegates
from Neosho and Wilson, Aliens home

So cIean-cut and tforo was the Reed
defeat that neither Gossard nor Pow

been heralded a dead duck" after
the Cherryvale convention, won every

Selma convention next week at the

Military Training.
Out in the Eighth district the anti
military training crew conducted
little wrecking exercise. Fred E. Stan
ley Republican national committee
man for Kansas and southwest, mana
ger of the Wood presidential organiza-
ton, had gone to his home district to
aid in the festivities. He left the New
ton convention after parade by the
anti military delegates. The district
adopted a resolution against conpu1-
sorry military training and against any
candidate for president or vice presi-
dent who favors military policies
Sankey's troubles in the Eighth dis

those of Reed in the Third. Each had
been badly beaten in fights in their
home districts.
Down in the Fourth district there
was also trouble for the home boys.

NEW POTATO GROWING PLAN.
Extensive Experiments With Bordeaux
Mixture Here.

Two extensive experiments in po-
tato growing will be conducted this
summer by the Shawnee county farm
bureau to determine whether it is
profita BILE to apply Bordeaux mixture
to potatoes in Kansas.
Two eight-acre plots-one on the
NJ. T. Kelsey farm near Oakland and
the other on the Skinner Brothers
farm near North Topeka-have been
obtained for the experiments. The
plots will be treated alike. Three diff
ferent strengths of the mixture will be
tried by spraying three and four
times a year. Occasional rows in be-
tween will not be spra yed.
According to o. F. Blecha, county
farm agent, it has been found in other
states that Bordeaux mixture acts as a
tonic to the plants as we'll as pre-
ventive of blight and tip burn. In
New York it increased the yield so per
cent and in Iowa IS per cent.
