TheAoO P>*? cent candidate hasn t given up yet. but announces that lie will. He seems after all to rather agree with the "watchful waiting policy. The official count in California shows a slight gain for President Wilson with a dozen of the fifty eight counties in. It is believed that the %jtiicial returns will give the presid' at a lead of about 1.900. Did you know that Grover Cleveland was elected president in ISS4 by a much closer margin than Wilson has been this year? That year the results depended on New \ ork state and less than 600 votes would have given Blaine the presidency. We have several business itions on our desk .that ought to have the attention of Decatur business men. We should get busytfight now on that line. Decatur can be a busy city in 1917 with a IfUle pushing front) the men who hold property and business here. Will you help? It was generally supposed that the exi*rieuce of the democrats Jt'Tarfe Haute two years ago would have had the effect of curbing the crooked politicans in Indiana but evidently those men who tried to swing Lake county for the g. o . p. thought they hub some special righis. Its about five to one that they will wish they had learned their lesson better whenFrank Dailey gets through with them. —n——— It is claimed that $200,906 was spent in Lake county this year by the republican politicians and that 16.000 votes were influneced. Two* years ago democratic officials investigated • - charges and convicted a hundred or more men who were charged with cdection frauds. t CRiainiy men of every party should he treated alike and if these i barges are true it remains only for the proper steps to be taken and Uie men punished that similar practices in the future may be lessened. Kicking over precedents has been a habit o* Woodrow Wilson ever since his college days. His re-elec-tion to the presidency after losing such important states as New York, Illinois. Indiana. Wisconsin and Michigan, is his latest and most inspiring feat in upsetting traditions. In 1879 as a student at Princeton. Tom <W. Wilson began his precedent smashing. Later, he became president of tin* university, he kicked over some more established customs, and 'T'IIIS was the morning *■ that you have all been expecting. And in anticipation of this kind of weather we have prepared to care for your wants in Underwear, Sweaters and Makinaws, and all other heavy £oods that you will need to protect you against the winter blasts, I Sweaters 30c to $7.50 Unions 50c to $5.00 Makinaws ~. $4.50 to $8.50 THE MYFRS-DAILEY COMPANY

ns governor of New Jersey he did the same thing. For the punt four years, us president of n grent republic, he * has refused to be -chained by conventions. He has followed his own inclinations ut times when so doing would seem to the ordinary mun akin to political suicide. Everybody thought the governor's goose was cooked when, before the democratic nomination in 1912, he asked George Harvey, editor of Harper’s Weekly, totstop supporting him. "Your support* Is hurting uiy candidacy.” said Wilson, in effect this in spite of the tact that Harvey was known as the "original Wilson man” and had suggested the Wilson name for the presidency as early as 1-904. when to most people cvi n in New Jersey he was known merely as a rather independent college presid a:, in fact iff her sections were booming \V“.:on for the presidency long before Now Jersey , vVn considered him seriously as a possible governor.

TO END RACE DETERIORATION Matter That la Very Largely In the Hands of the Mothers of the Nation. "Tfle death rate In tills country from diseases of the heart, blood vessels and kidneys has Increased 1-1 per cent iu 20 yours,” decluros ti noted lender In the widespread movement among clubwomen for household efficiency. ‘‘What accounts for this appal ling Increase? There Is u lack of that something in the human system which Is necessary to guard It against deterioration and the threatening multitudes of tbe ever-present microbes. The invisible enemies have conquered. How much of this is owiug to our imperfect knowledge of the relative values of the elements contained iu foods, to the luck of udi*quute anil hygienic heatiqg, ventilating and plumbing systems, to the feeding of the nation on denatured uuikudulterated food, we do not know. But a realization of the seriousness of tills question makes us feel thut the general huplmzurd occu-, putlou of housewife requires the most intelligent attention of every woman who takes it up. “It is only recently that women have begun to realize that housekeeping is a profession requiring their best ill telllgence, and that It cun und should be standardized. For years the kitchen has been relegated to the busßment or to the darkest comer of the upartuieut, und the whole question of buying und cooking the family rutions has been dismissed ns speedily as possible by the average housekeeper. Tills should not be. The solution of the food probleip is in tin* hands of the; women. Wholesome, nutritious food is absolutely essential to the well-being of the family. You cannot successfully feed a fine racehorse on waste products, and you cannot nourish a line race of people on poor food.” TIBETANS KNEW OF TOBACCO

Good Evidence That the “Filthy Weed" Was Used in That Country Many Centuries Ago. , » It is generally supposed that tobacco was unkuown in the Old World until after the discovery of America. But there is excellent evidence that it was known and used in Tibet us early us 377 B. C. In u note to an article in the Geographical Review Dr. Barthold Laufer of the Field Mqseuui of Natural History, Chicago, wrote as follows: “Among the many curiosities of the Tibetau-Euglish dictionary, published in 1902 by Surat Chandra Das, the well-known Bengali student of Tibetan und explorer of Tibet, we read that Die evil drug tobacco (in Tibetan thanmkha) appeared in ancient time ulitfut 100 years after the death of Buddha, which would yield the date 377 B. C., and that mention is rnude of tobacco also iu the writings of a lama who is dated in the twelfth century A. I). In 1908 I enjoyed the privilege of spending several months in ‘Lhasa Villa,’ the house of Dus in Darjeeling, and when one evening, in the course of a learned conversation with him. 1 ventured to draw his attention to this chronological anomaly and the postColumbian introduction of tobacco into Europe and Asia, he replied: ‘TKis is you# tradition, and that (pointing to the passage in his dictionary) is our tradition; and our traditions certainly are as good as yours.’ ” Concerning tbe Doorway. You can tell as much about a house from its doorway if you really study the matter as you can about a man from a handshake. Just as you often intuitively feel, after a handclasp with a stranger, that you are or are not going to cultivate his acquaintance further, so you will or will not instinctively be made desirous by a house’s entrance of knowing its interior. A doorway is the most animate inanimate thing I know. And if for no other reason Ilian because of its natural prominence, the front entrance of a house should be made as attractive as architectural style and good taste will permit. „ It is usually the first detail to be observed by passers-by, and, therefore, creates the most lasting impression.—Charles Alma Byers, in Countryside Magazine.

Matches. The principle of the ignition of sulphur and phosphorous by friction was discovered in 1680. An Englishman named Walker made a kind of match about 150 years Inter. The first patent granted in the United States for a friction match was to Alonzo D. Phillips, October 24, 1836. Previous to the Invention of matches, nini—a variety of quartz—were much used for the production of lire,- the flint being struck repeatedly against u piece of steel, from which small particles were detached which Were rendered red hot by the friction, These were caused to fall into a mass of very dry and highly inflammable matter, known as ‘’tinder,” which took fire from them. Quakers Proud of Pedigree. The Quaker custom, exemplified in the burial ground of Jordans, of not marking the resting places of the dead with memorial stones, is not so universally followed by them now. Ilpt if no outward record is kept,' the Society of Friends has remarkably complete records of their own doings and their registers of births, marriages and deaths are among the most complete in existence. Friends, indeed, are great on pedigrees, and they are as proud of old Quaker blood as other people are of more aristocratic descent.
