PAYING HIS WAY.

With q smile on his face, Uncle Sam will today reach into his capacious pocket to pay to his loyal supporters iB the biggest job he ever tackled the in- terest on their Liberty loan bonds and Victory notes. An approving pat on the back will go with the interest pay ment, for it is those who first furnished the sinews of war and those responded to the final appeal who receive their inter est today.
 In New England this will mean dis tribution of interest amounting to $12,- szI,sss to 1,7ss,7s5 bond holders. The par amount of the bonds outstanding on both these issues in New England is s371,s10 15e. and interest already paid on them has amounted to s4a,Ooo,ooo.
 People who have been tempted to sell their government bonds at market prices under the present financial stress, today If they are sound thinkers-Feceive an. other excellent illustration of the fact that the United States government is a pretty good person to loan money to since the prime requisites of good credit are ability to furnish proper security fol repayment of the loan principal and the Ol lllSIcSl JULIE oS eliSS fall due. As to the principal, the bonds and notes are first lien mortgages on the property of every man, woman and chilt In the richest of all nations-the United states-which ought to be good enougl security for anyone.
 Uncle Sam is in the happy state ot viewing the arrival of interest day with out a trace of apprehension.

SNAP SHOTS OF
 DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS Copyrighted by c. M Adams Service
The Convention of 1sso.


 The democratic national convention of 1880 assembled in Cincinnati on June 22. It resulted in the presidential nom ination of General W. s. Hancock of Pennsylvania, who had twice previously been a contender in the National con yention of 1868 and 1872
 Haneock's nomination was a surprise to the convention as well as to the coun- try. It was due partially to the doubt which existed down to the very begin ming of the balleting, as to whether or presidential nominee four years previ- ously) was to be candidate for re- nomination. That he could have had the nomination if such had been his ag- gressive desire, is sure-beeause it was the universal party belief that in the preceding Hayes campaign, Tilden had been actually counted out of the White House.
 But Tilden's refusal to affirm or deny renewed aspirations until the conven- tion was actually in session (when he sent letter which itself could be read two different ways) left the party so completely in the dark that hardly a third of the delegates went to Cincinnati with Tilden in their minds.
 On the first ballot General Hancock. with I'll votes, and Thomas F. Bayard of Delaware, with 153 1-2 votes, led a field of eight candidates while Henry B. Payne of Ohio (who was believed to l be MT. Tilden's heir) was in third place. ! On the second ballot, however, the New York delegation, and nearly all the rec | egnized friends of Filden, swung to a new man-Samuel J. Randall of Penn | sylvania-who went into second place with 128 1-2 votes. Meanwhile, however General Hancock had gone to 320 and before the formal ballot was announced swift changes carried him to 7o5 and g nomination. William H. English of In diana was renominated for vice pres | dent by exclamation after the only othel contender-Richard M. Bishop of Ohio | withdrew.
 | George Hoadly of Ohio was temper ary chairman of the convention and ex Governor John ". Stevenson of Ken lucky was permanent chairman. Henr, | Watterson of Kentucky was chairman O the resolutions committee. The platform was short and terse reiteration of dem ocratic challenge to previous republican | administrations in the White House sRt I in the congress, and a ringing endorse ment of the recently elected democrats congress. In the final outcome of thi campaign, President Garfield was elected To be continued tomorrow with the stor. of the Convention of 1884.

Wilson has had less contact with the life of the nation than any of our presidents
 Where other leaders of our democracy have appealed to the emotions, he is one of the least electric, least dramatic of our presidents, with no anecdotes to popular ize him, with no legends of his youth or myths about his political career to vital ize him to the general imagination. He owes his various successes at the polls to the cold logic of the political situation and little to his popularity. His aca- dernic aloofness from politics at a time when politicians had fallen into disfavor made him the available man for governor in 1910. As a candidate for president, he ran a poor second to Champ Clark in the popular primaries of 1912, when he was nominated at Baltimore only after 45 ballots, and then only as a result of Bry- ans overthrow of the steam roller And he was elected by the division of the re- publicans between Roosevelt and Taft, though he received a smaller vote than the democrats had boiled in three past elections.
 It is the tragedy of Woodrow Wilson's nature that when the elements were mixed in him, magnetism was denied him. that lodestone which draws the hearts of men. The head has been the powerhouse of his leadership.

HOT WEATHER DIET.

Much of the discomfort of hot weather Esnles from unintelligent eating. We are all inclined to carry over into summer sur winter tastes at the table. If We ,aA discard those feods which develop heat-the rich meats. gravies. pastries and sweet things generally, which raise the temperatures of our bodles-we shall an be saved not only much discomfort, but also many of the perils of hot sum ner suns.
 The vegetables and fruits are the things to play up" on the table now. The vegetables are the great blood puri- hers They rid the blood of what it called for in cold weather, those quail, ties which resist cold; and they leave us in condition to combat excessive neat. while the acid and juicy fruits abfy reinforce them. Of all the fruits he lemon yields the most wholesome lcid. It is as pure gold to pig iron when compared with vinegar It is a Bood rule never to use vinegar as an refd when lemon is available.
 And if you would be cool while others Eputter and bubble with heat, eat light. lyi Hot meats, rich buildings, sweets all heavy foods, have to bo burnt up ir the body. Therefore shun them if you would not have a confiagration within while the sun is raging without And drink pure water in abundance at eel lar coolness. All iced drinks react un. tsvorably on the system. In the days when cold beer-"ice cold beer" wa: sought by the heated crowd, those who knew how to take 1t regarded ice or or in 1t as an abomination. In Europe which has been drinking intelligentlJ much longer than America, cellar cool ness is the rule. Ice has permanent! ntured more stomachs in this countr, han all the beer ever guzzled into 1t.

GENERAL PERsHING's RETIRE-
 MENT

Spending the balance of his years in the mere routine of army life holds out few attractions for General Pershing and he has announced that he will retire and return to civilian life. It will occasion little surprise, upon second thought, that a man of his active habits should pre- fer to engage in something more attrac- tive than the peace-time interests that a continuation of army life would seem to hold out for him. His name was prac- tically unknown to the American people when he was brought suddenly to re- sponsibie leadership, but grateful na- lion is ready to bear testimony to the magnificent way he measured up to the call.
 General Pershing will carry the title of full general for life, and he will nave the pay that goes along with his retiTemsnt More than that he will be prepared. as he says, to return to the serviee of the country in any case of srisis.
 As the leader of the American expedi- henary forces, he rendered services Iraught with immense consequences to the nation and the age, making for him an abiding place in the affections of the American people from which he can never retire. Unspoiled by praise, he has escaped the criticism which so often befalls popular idols, and his bearing since his return to the United States has been go unassuming so dignified and SC manly that from one end of the country to the other the feeling of the people fol him is one of the greatest friendlinesf and highest respect.

JOHN BULLS BABIEs.

The pillars of England's far-dung em- pire have always rested upen man-Rew- er furnishing strong hands upon sea and land and in the councils of the na- tion, so that the empire is concerned with seeing that it's babies are healthy for healthy babies make strong men. Within the past few years there has been a rising interest in infant welfare work and the results are reported as highly gratifying. In 1918 grants made by the national government in support of infant welfare work in England and Wales amounted to about $1,150,000 which represents one-half of approved expenditure for welfare centers, health visitors" maternity care and similar work for mothers and children.
 The number of health centers increased from $50 in 1917, to 1850 in June, 1913 over ene-half of them supported entirely by public funds. Attendance at the cen ters has also shown a phenomenal in crease. One center in Gloucester, which in 1918 received 26S expeetant mothers had 's32 on it's rolls in 1919. As a re. suit it is thought, of public protection of maternity and infancy, the infant mortality rate for England and Vale: for 1918 is s4. There was no increase over 1917 even under the adverse condi tions of war and influenza.
 The 1918 infant mortality rate for thu U. s. birth registration area is 1o1, sever points higher than the rate for the pre- ceding year. Children's bureau investi gations have shown that Uncle Sam. babies die because they and their moth CTS do not have skilled care. Until sucl
 care is made available. as in England
 for all women in all parts of the eoun try, regardless of economic standing, nt
 great decline in the infant mertalits rate may be expected.
 John Bull believes in healthy habie l and is willing to pay for them.

FROM LUCILLE'S DIARY

Betty and are not such good friends as we used to be before she married Uncle Bob. and for long time l have felt distressed about it. We were at school, notwithstanding that Betty was much older than I. For some strange reason Betty has gradually grown less fond of. me, I think. I was wondering about it last week, after I had phoned her to ask whether she would go shop ping with me.
 "Ne, thank you, Lucile,' she answered. T don't have any time for running around looking at things in the shops. When we need anything I go downtown and get 1t. I really have more than I can do in my house to keep things go- ing. You know my maid has gone home for 8 month.
 q said sweetly that I was sorry not | to have her company for I desired her judgment on spring hats. Even this did not move her, and I began to think that she was tired and overworked, So made up my mind to be more helpful and ssterly than I had been, and then perhaps our old chummy friendship would be renewed.
 eHullo, Bettykins," I said the next l morning When arrlVeo at ner~ mousse How are you?"
 'Why, I'm all right as usual. Die you wish something, Lueile?"
 "Yes, Betty, dear, o'wish something I wish to help you with some of you I household cares. I had this day free ant I just said to myself I'll run out early il the morning and give first aid to Bet ty,' Where shall I begin my labors {?
 '1t's certainly wonderful of you Lu eile," remarked Betty in a rather od tone, fancied. Do yeu really want t work around the house?"

New Anesthetic Developed.

A highly refined ether, modified by the addition of certain gases, has been found superior as an anesthetic. It eliminates pain without loss of consciousness and reduces to a minimum the nausea that generally follows the use of ether.
 The ability to produce insensibility 10 pain without loss of consciousness opens up an entirely new field, including many operations which are now performed without any attempt to eliminate pain.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
sufragists ResentfuI

MT. Editor: To a casual observer. the suffrage plank in the republican platform should be pleasing to suffragists. On the contrary, sufragists and partic- ularly those of republican tendencies are deeply resentful of words that pre- tend something and mean nothing. The nsincerity of the state republican party to us has been apparent for some time. Now, the national party after all it's promises, publicly made, prefers to yield to A little group of machine politicians from Connecticut and to shield Governor Holcomb in his refusal to call the spe- eial session of the legislature demanded of him by his party rather than keep its word to the women of the United States. The plank is an insult to eur intelligence and serves to make more bitter the resentment of would-be repub- lican women toward that party in the nation as in this state.
