The people of the state have
good cause to know just how pow
erful was the machine that made a
United States senator of Joe T.
Robinson, and they know that this
machine, disfigured, weatherbeat
en, disjointed and dilapidated, is
now doing all it can to make a gov
ernor of Dr. Brough, and they also |
know how forlorn is the hope that
it will do so. Still Dr. Brough
cannot get away from the fact that
he is still backed up by this ma
chine, and that he has sought its
backing since a short time before
the legislature created a vacancy
in the office of governor and made
a United States senator of Joe T.
Robinson. He wanted the vacan
cy for himself at that time, hence
he was willing to abide by machine
rule then in order to create the
vacancy.

A Distinctive Reason
What is the chief reason for the superi
ority of Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder ?
There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Dr. Price’s from
other baiting powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Dr. Price’s Baking Powder is
made from cream of tartar, which comes
from grapes. This means a healthful fruit
origin. It means natural food as distin
guished from mineral substitutes used in
other baking powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in

ONLY A ROSE
By DOROTHY BLACKMORE. §
» • • • • • • • • • • • • •
“You do like my gown then?” Nancy
questioned. She reached out and ex
tracted a solitary pink rose that had
lent its beauty to his writing table. “I
think I need this in my hair,” she said
and tucked the flower among the riot !
of golden curls. After his smile of ap
proval she skipped off. It was quite
time for the first guest to arrive for
her coming-out party.
Kennard watched her go and sighed
a trifle wearily. He was old beyond
his thirty-five years in that he had, at
the age of twenty-one, gone through a
frightful train wreck which left him
mentally aged and physically lame.
At twenty-five, his closest friend,
older by many years than Kennard.
had died, leaving a slim, delicate girl
orphaned and oddly alone in the world.
Kennard had adopted Nancy Vale be
cause Vale had left her to him.
The doorbell rang many times and
men and women flocked into the great
Kennard drawing-room where Nancy,
looking not more than fifteen in her
simple gray frock, welcomed her
guests. Often her big eyes glanced
swiftly at the stairs leading from the
library, but each time they returned
to smiles and laughter with a hint of
wistfulness growing in their clear
depths. "Nunky” was so absorbed in
his story as to forget that he had
promised to come in and Join her par
I ty.
It was not until silence reigned
again in the great house and a small
pink rose drooped wearily in Nancy’s
curls that she tiptoed softly to the li
brary door. The quiet of that room
told her that the story was finished
and that ‘‘Nunky" was smoking the
restful cigarette that always followed
the completion of a good day's work.
“May 1 come in?" she questioned,
already over the threshhold.
Kennard opened wide his eyes.
“I just wanted to say good night,”
she said roftly. and stroked back the
lock of snowwhite hair that lay across
Kennard’s broad forehead.
"You grow more like your father ev
ery day,” he said in quick appreciation
of her instinctive understanding. “He
was the most unselfish and consider
ate man that ever walked the earth.
I’m sorry, kiddie, that your old uncle
forgot the coming-out party. I could
only have limped about trying vainly
to banish my hero and his woes from
my mind. I will get you another string
of those beads.”
"Beads! How dare you call my
matchless pink pearls beads!” She
touched the exquisite present from
him that clasped her slender neck.
She looked anxiously at him. "You
won’t sit up any longer will you—it’s
late now?”
“Only till the cigarette pufTs out,”
he told her and watched her skip off
and up to her room.
Kennard sat for a few moments
wearily looking at the door through
which his ward had gone. Gradually
his eyes focused themselves on a
faded pink flower that lay Just within
thejlhrary door* It was the rose Nan
cy had worn in her hair.
Kennard rose and picked it up and
returned to his desk with it. He sat
gazing softly, tenderly, at it and, a
second later, his lips caressed it ten
derly.
No sooner had he touched the with
ered flower than he drew back cwiftly.
The meaning of his action went over
him like a flame of fire.
“God!” he cried in terror at his own
emotion. “Not that! Surely not that
—she's only a child!” He sat stunned.
A few minutes later his head went for
ward on his arms and the rose was
again against his lips.
Nancy, creeping softly down the
stairs, tried to stiffe the beating of her
heart when she glanced swiftly at the
floor Just within the library door.
There was no rose lying there. She
stood for a moment, her great eyes
devouring Kennard’s bent shoulders
and bowed head. The very softest
sigh escaped her and Kennard raised
his eyes slowly, believing a splendid
vision had appeared to him.
Surely the slim little creature in the
doorway was not Nancy. There was
golden hair piled high and bound by
the matchless pink pearls and a white
throat rose like the stem of a lily from
a low-cut bodice. The arms were bare
and gleaming white.
“This is the new gown aunty bought
for me,” she explained swiftly, her
words hysterically broken. She had
seen the crushed rose under Ken
nard's hand. Her eyes were like stars
and her body was trembling with ela
tion. It was unbelievable, this won
derful thing that had happened. Paul
Kennard loved her!
He brushed his eyes dazedly. He
dared scarcely to look at Nancy so
great was his longing for her. Her
suddenly-revealed womanly beauty had
made him weak.
“The gown is lovely,” he said feeblv,
trying to speak in the old way. "But
run up to your bed, kiddie—it's time
little girls were asleep.”
“It’s time little girls were grown
up,” Nancy said. And the subtle note
of womanhood had entered her voice.
She drew close to Kennard and her
gleaming arms twined up and about
his neck. “If you wont tell me you
love me,” she said—and there was a
sob in her voice—“I don't want to
live.”
Kennard’s arms closed about her
swiftly, hungrily.
| A rose lay on the desk—the pink
ros she had worn in her hair.

Poisoning by Aeroplane Varnish.
The enormously increased produc
tion of aeroplanes during the war
lends point to a warning regarding the
varnish employed. At the aeroplane
works in Johannisthal a number of
workmen employed in the varnishing
department were taken seriously ill,
and two deaths resulted. The most
important symptom was jaundice due
to decomposition of the blood. On
investigation the cause was found to
be poisoning by tetrachlorethane, the
only solvent known for the highly
combustible acetylcellulose. These ac
cidents led to an order forbidding the
use ot solvents containing a high per
cental of tetraclilorethane.—-Scien
