"Let the people Rule.”
This is one time that the I-toId
you fellows had to hunt their hole.
Now that it is all over but the
shouting the country can settle
down to routine work.
It is very probable that both the
electoral and popular vote in this
election will be the closest in years.
Now that the people have de
cided to rule we wonder under
what caption the next campaign
of the wets will be?
Huttig voters did themselves
proud by voting against Act No. 2
at the same ratio that it was de
feated in the state.
Benson, the Socialist candidate
for president, can say he ran ahead
of Hanly, the Prohibition candi
date here anyway. He received
one vote and Hanly none.
Day Seen Coming When Fruit
And Plants May Be Made to
Taste as the Grower Wishes.
The day is coming soon when pota
to,s dug from the ground will taste
like cantaloupes, grapefruit will he
plucked from the trees like cherries
and the Sahara desert will bloom like
a ro§e garden. Such was the predic
i ion made by Howard Dean, professor
of chemistry at Park college, speak
ing before the Missouri Valley llorti
< ultural society.
Professor Dean said he already had
succeeded in reducing the starch of a
potato to sugar through chemical treat
i ient. He asserted that by feeding
< ertain plants on formaldehyde they
can be made to develop sugar and
starch.
Investigations now being made by
chemists show that plants manufac
I'.ire compounds that are not u< ratal to
(Item. These Investigations, he said,
are being continued, aud chemists axe
diligently searching the leaves of
plants in an attempt to find the agent
which converts the carbon dioxide in
the air aud the moisture into plant
products.
When the secret is discovered—and
of its early discovery he is confident
—he said he would possess an unlim
ited source of energy. The point he
brought out was that the possession of
that secret would enable man to con
vert the sun's energy to his own use
in any way he desires.
Then It would be possible, he assert
ed, to fill the Sahara desert with plant
life; to grow any plant or fruit so that
it would taste exactly as Its grower
wished.

stomach and what it is Riven.

cut out superfluous starches and
sweets.
A good rule is to stop eating while
you are still a little hungry; to eat
slowly and to rest for a time after

CONSTIPATION
There is nothing equal to Chamber
lain’s Tablets for constipation. When
the proper dose is taken their action
is so agreeable and so natural that
yon do not realize that it is the effect
of a medicine. These tablets possess
tonic properties that aid in estab*
lishing a natural and regnlar action
of the bowels. Chamberlain s Tablets
have cured many cases of chronic
constipation, bold everywhere, 125c.
The bane of old age is constipution.
The bowels become weak and unable
to perforin thtir functions without
aid. For this pnrpose only the mild
est and pertlest laxative should be
used. The use of harsh cathartics
aggravate s the trouble and makes the
constipation worse. Chamberlain's
Tablets area favorite with people of
middle age and older on account of
their gentle action. Price 25c.
There is a Real Difference
Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used in Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder
because it is the best and most healthful in
*
gredient known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphat^,
use Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder in
stead. You will be pleased with the results
and the difference in the quality of the food

War May Bring Social Fame
To Spain’s Beautiful Queen
Should Spain's efforts to bring
about the holding nt Madrid of the
peace confesssce which must follow
the cessation of hostilities be success
ful, Queen Victoria Ena, one of the
youngest and most beautiful of Eu
rope’s royal women, will become the
most famous hostess in the world.
Many of the world's most brilllnnt men
will assemble at the conference, and
the queen’s duty will be to entertain
these guests of Spnin and their wives
on an extensive and royal scale. It
is said that the young queen, who is
yet in her twenties, would greatly wel
come the call for such brilliant fetes
at the stately and somewhat formal
Castilian court, which in spite of King
Alphonso’s democratic ways, still re
mains the most ceremonious in Eu
rope. The queen is fond of dress and
one of the most lavish customers of
the great Paris dressmakers, her dress
bills running up to more than $15,000
yearly.
To Darn a Rent.
To darn that rent in your skirt,
haste or paste on the hack of the
goods a piece of material of the same
shade as the skirt. Draw the edges
of the tear together evenly. If pos
sible to get a few strands of raveling
from the same material of the skirt,
well and good; if not, use fine wool
and make fine stitches. Catch a few
running stitches to the piece of ma
terial pasted on the back, after which
place a cloth over the darn and press
with a warm iron.
Uses of Paper.
The uses of paper are extending
very rapidly. Rags made of spun pa
per are a growing Swedish product,
and American manufacturers are be
ginning to produce them. Coffee bags
are made of single strand, open weave,
with a sheet of paper pulp Inside.
Onion bags are being olTerecL Several
firms are engaged In making some very
attractive furniture or water-proofed
paper reeds woven over wooden and
rattan frames. The Swedes are mak
ing a three-slranded spun-paper rope
for general use, that Is well spoken of.
Paper horse blankets sound queer, but
they are being made. Flteproof fab
rics sound still more odd, but they are
making them nevertheless on a paper
basis. The Japanese, who are the most
expert of all In the utilization of pa
per, are making aviator’s suits of oiled
paper that are very light and resistant
to cold.

I’rof. Max Muller, one of the great
est English authorities on language
study, says: “A well-educated per
son In England, who has been at pub
lic school and nt the university, who
I reads Shakespeare, the Times and all
the books of Mudle's library, seldom
uses more than about 3.000 or 4,<>00
, words in actuul conversation. Accur
ate thinkers and close reasoners who
avoid vague and general expressions
and wait until they find the word that
i exactly fits their meaning, employ a
larger stock; and eloquent speakers
may rise to a command of lO.tXXt. The
Hebrew testament says all It bus to
say In 5,642 words, Milton's works
are built up with 8,(xx) words; and
Shakespeare, who probably displayed
a greater variety of expr>*ss!ou than
j any writer In any language, produced
all his plays with ubout fifteen thou
sand words.”
