The Daily Republican Every Day Except Sunday HEALEY & CLARK, Publisher*. RENSSELAER, ~ INDIANA.

We are at the mercy of the avlators. ~ As we remember It now, winter had acme good points. To orphan banana republics the far therland refuses to be a mother. Now here come the dentists with that anti-kissing thing, too. Going swimming looks like the only rational employment in hot weather. The army may have to help devise means for a sane artillery drill. Are there any records that this year’s weather has not broken? Europe might try exporting its surplus rainwater to our middle west. As a diversion to swatting- the fly, keep your stable clean, if you’ve got one. Chopping Americana into little bits is still a favorite pastime of the Moros. Speaking of weights and measures prosecutions, how'd you like to be the iceman? Swatting the common house fly is now one of our most popular indoor lady sports. Even though the water is fine, if you can’t swim, don’t go in beyond your depth. For the sake of thirsty crops any good citizen should willingly sacrifice his straw hat "What’s the right word for an aeroplane garage?” asks the Boston Globe. How’s planebunk? What has become of the Chicago joy rider who killed a woman and was afterward captured? The assistant chef of a lake boat refused to cook fried potatoes and the chef at once mashed him. The boat rocker and the fellow who stands up in the boat are in evidence again, but have escaped so far. As if it were not bad enough for the earth to fly up and hit aeroplanes, lightning has begun striking them. What bald-headed man had hoped to live to see a fly less world? Yet that is what the scientists are planning. Giddy New York regards the idea of closing its lobster palaces at 1 a. m. as very little better than a curfew law. We wonder how one small cone can hold so many kinds of chemicals,and have room left for a nickel’s worth of ice cream. It costs $3,000,000 a day to run the national government What will the government cost when aeroplaning is In fashion? A Chicago man paid S3OO for "mere bit of a meal.” It probably was a ■teak with one overlaying slice of breakfast bacon. The government is turning out 3,000,000 postal cards a day, due to the summer resort season being In full blast, we presume. United States certificates of merit to enlisted men are going largely to the cooks and musicians. Has no one a word for a soldier? Rudyard Kipling urges that airmen wear pneumatic armor for protection tn case of accident That is simpler than covering the earth with feather beds. Considering the size of the heads of some of the hatpins that the girls are wearing, they certainly do not come under the law forbidding the carrying of concealed weapons. The word-coiner has an easy task. All he needs to do in expressing his ▼lews on a public policy Is to select the name of a man he dislikes and attach the syllable "ism.” London and New York may soon be connected with telephone communication. None of the fictions of fairy tales can surpass this modern miracle of a chat over the ocean. The Kaiser has been writing poetry to a party of German maidens who called upon him and took him chocolate. Incidentally, it is to be hoped the chocolate was -better than the poetry. One of the latest aeroplane accidents shows that it is bad to be in “a flying machine hit by lightning, in the air/ But where is being struck by , lightning either comfortable or salubrious? Some of New York** most wealthy and fashionable women are importing French aeroplanes and preparing to learn to aviate. Philadelphia women have taken the lead at Newport, and there seems to be nothing for the New York ladies to do but fly high around home

KAISER ENTERTAINS AMERICANS ON HIS YACHT

IT is said that Americana are not especially in favor with the new king of England, but the emperor of Germany still counts many of them among his personal friends, and often entertains them on board the Imperial yacht Hohenzollern. The illustration accompanying is from a photograph of one of these yachting parties, the lady at the kaiser’s immediate right being Mrs. Goelet of New York.

CITY’S NEW TIPPLE

Buttermilk Adopted by Chicagoans as Best Hot Weather Drink. It Is Chasing Mint Julep From Bar and Has Relegated Sundae to Rear of Drug Stores—Dealers Busy, Chicago.—Buttermilk the drink that Is making Chicago famous. If you don’t live strictly on a buttermilk diet during the hot weather you don’t belong, and dairymen, doctors, drug-store keepers, club men, caterers and restauranteurs have as much os agreed upon It. According to people who devote much ot their time to the laudable labor of selling thirst quenching beverages, buttermilk has for the last five years steadily increased In popularity as a hot-weather drink until today it Is the most sought after of all, having surpassed such rivals as the once-favored ice-cream soda, the mint smash or the entrancing julep. When the thermometer hovers between 88 and 95, buttermilk becomes the cup that cheers and never inebriates, no matter how plenteously imbibed. Drink experts say so. They say that thia once more or less despised liquid is now called for more frequently than any other in country clubs, in drug stores, in hotels, in restaurants and in buffets. It is served in the country clubs in-

MAKES BRIDLE TO BUY BOOKS

Montana Prisoner Serving Long Term Is Eager to Spend Idle Time Profitably. Douglass, Arlz. —C. C. Allen does not claim to be a master of the lyre, but the Douglass Chamber of Commerce and Mines has just received an appealing letter from him which shows that while he does not hope to get out of the state prison at Deer Lodge, Montana, yet he has employed his one shining talent well in hope of using his time behind the bars so well that when he gains his freedom he will lead a better life. Here Is the letter, which explains itself: "You may be surprised to receive this letter, as I am an inmate of Montana state prison. I am serving quite a long term here, and wish to put in part of my time studying. Having this in view, I have spent several months in tedious work upon a fancy horse hair bridle, in the hope that I should be able to raise enough money out of its disposal to purchase the books that I am in need of. "It is in regard to this bridle that I take the liberty of addreslsng you, asking if you will take an interest in disposing of it for me. The bridle Is made of thousands of strands of varied colored horse-hair, and it will be found useful and strong as well as a work of art. C. C. Allen, Box 7, Deer Lodge, Montana.” Allen probably sent his letter to Douglass in the hope that some cowpuncher or Mexican Vaquero, who delight in gay saddles and ornamental bridles and horse trappings, might offer a field for purchase.

Badgers as Woman’s Pets.

Spokane, Wash.—A fad haa been inaugurated by young women of Othello, Wash., which threatens to cause a rise in the badger market The fad is domesticating badgers for pets, and already several of these animals are enduring captivity. It is not an unusual sight to meet a badger in the street of Othello on an afternoon, in tow of its fair mistress The animals seem to take kindly to their new sphere and submit peaceably to the fondling of admirers.

Troops Will Fight Fires.

Washington.—President Taft has authorized the use of troops to fight forest fires in Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California.

stead of highballs and other possibly attractive but certainly heating mixtures, being put up in long, cool-ap-pearing cylindrical bottles. It is advertised in drug stores "from our own churn,** and is outselling the soda and sundae. It is made by private families from "lacto-bacllli” tablets, which are placed in unskimmed milk. At hotels and restaurants it is served icecold in bottles made especially for buttermilk. And why? Because for a long time physicians have been pointing out that it is the best hot-weather drink. They have said that it is the most easily digested, the most cooling, the most healthful. They have declared it even an excellent hot-weather food. And besides that, there are comparatively few people, it is said, who don’t take to buttermilk naturally, like a duck to water. “Buttermilk?” queried Manager Marsh of the Borden Dairy company. “Why, we are selling more buttermilk right now than ever before. It Is the Chicago summer drink, and we are In a position to know. It is being sold everywhere—because ’most everyone has a nicked to spare and ’most everyone likes buttermilk. Almost every retail store where they sell soft drinks is calling for buttermilk in large quantities this summer. And then a whole lot of it goes to private homes, too. It’s a great drink. Is buttermilk—the ideal drink.’’ “The sales of buttermilk increase every year,” said Manager Bowman of the. Bowman Dairy company, "and this year there is more of it sold, I believe,

PROTECT THE BIRDS.

International Movement Submitted to Our Government. Fourteen of World Powers Be Arrayed Against Butchery of Feathered Tribe of Globe for Millinery Ornamentation. New York.—To array 14 of the world powers against the butchery of the birds of the globe for millinery ornamentation is the object of an international movement which has been formally called to the attention of the United States government from this city. Recommendations for the prohibition of this feather traffic by nonexpert and nonimport laws in Great Britain, German, France, Italy,’ Russia, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Hungary, Austria, Bavaria and this country have just been filed with Secretary of State Knox at Washington by William Dutcher, president ot the National Association of Audubon' Societies, who represented the United States at the recent International Ornithological congress in Berlin, where they were framed and unanimously indorsed by delegates from every part of the world. For the first time in history the ornithological authorities in their international conclave are reported to have been able to unite upon some simple course of action that would best check the economic loss of billions of dollars each year that has been shown to result from the killing of the pest-destroying and plague-pre-venting wild birds of land and water. Acting as an "international committee for the protection of birds," a score of ornithological experts selected from the nobility and scientists of J 4 of the leading nations are placing before their governments the proposition of co-operation to break up the destruction of bird' life by the worldwide traffic in feathers. Though the people of the country have come to extend reasonable protectioh to their birds in many states, the destruction of American bird life must go on as long as any foreign country continues to offer a market for the sate of the scalps of the birds of the United States, according to Mt. Dutcher. "Americans need the help of the

than ever before. Of course, there is more sweet milk sold than buttermilk, but sweet milk is used for cooking and buttermilk is purely a drink. Within the last six years there has been a steady increase in the consumption of sweet milk, but buttermilk has certainly kept pace with it.’’ Out at the Lake Zurich dairies the foregoing statement were agreed with. "Why, it’s remarkable the quantity of buttermilk that is being called for,” said James Davidson, manager of the dairy. "We are shipping more of it to Chicago this year than ever before. If it isn’t the favorite hot weather drink for Chicago, I’d like to know what on earth is.” Others said that there was only one summer attraction in this city that could compare with the lake breeze and that was—-

Young Horse Thief.

Suffolk, Va. —Ralph Hezekiah Hinton, nine years old, possibly the youngest, horse thief ever convicted, was found guilty in Justice Deberry’s court on the seednd offense. Owing to his youth there was no prosecution for the first horse stolen, but when he disappeared with Thomas Smith’s horse he was pursued and captured after a four-mlle chase by Hurricane Branch and a posse.

"Dry" For All Time.

Fresno, Cal. —Dry in perpetuity is the restriction placed by the Santa Fe railroad In all deeds to property in the new town of River Bank, which is to be a midvalley division point on that line. District Agent Hobart says it is the first town laid out by a railroad to exclude saloons for all time.

great world powers—as every other people need our help—to check the destruction of the birds who work for our common prosperity and health,” he says. “Owing to the high prices offered for the plumes of white herons, birds of paradise, humming birds, albatrosses and similar species in the European markets, these birds have been slaughtered almost to the point of extinction. On the other hand, thousands of the valuable insectivorous wild birds and game birds of Europe are shipped here as cage birds and to make choice tidbits in our restaurants. Only by putting a stop to the export and import of birds butchered for commercial purposes can the nations of the earth hope to retain their valuable bird resources. It remains for the American people to take the first step in this very vital Movement.”

BEETLE KILLING ELM TREES

Expert Who Examined Roosevelt's Chestnuts Reports Other Ravages In Four States. New York.—A great plague of elm leaf beetles has swept over this section of the country this summer, aa cording to Director Murrill of tha Bronx botanical hardens. Mr. Murrill recently made a trip of investigation through four states and says that he found the condition of the elni trees alarming everywhere. The beetle, however, is not the only enemy to the trees which Is working Mr. Murrill was called to Sagamore Hill, where he made an examination of the chestnut trees, which are Colonel Roosevelt’s pride. When Colonel Roosevelt returned from Africa he sent word to the Bronx botanical gardens that something was wrong with his trees, and asked that an expert be sent to Inspect them. . -Mr. Murrill discovered that almost every tree on the colonel’s estate was dead. The canter, a rapid-growing fungus, had started beneath the bark of the trees, and after killing the trees had spread quickly all over them. It traveled with surprising swiftness, and within twd months caused thousands of dollarsfjworth of damage*

REST WEARY FEET

ÜBE OF STOOLB A RELIEF FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. Can Be Used to Advantage Without Delaying Work a Minute—High and Low Stools a Great x Convenience. Housewives can give their tired feet a rest without delaying their work one minute simply by judicious use of the high and low etool. First the high stov.. It should be cushioned and used often. Just look at the hours that a woman stands at the stove stirring a saucepan or doing such little odd things around the cook stove. Is there any reason known to culinary science why such work should not be done with a- long spoon from the comfortable height of the tall stool? The little girls in the cooking school are not required to stand at their work any more than are the scholars in the day school. They sit down to it, and the toll Is lessened to a most appreciable extent by that restful position, and there is no damage done td the contents of the saucepan by reason of the stirring being carried on from, a high stool instead of in the usual way of the housewife. Dishwashing can be done as well from a high stool as while standing on one’s tired feet Then that low stool! Its usefulness Is so apparent that it is difficult to Imagine any woman being without one and yet how few homes have such a thing for the purpose suggested! Being light and easy to carry, it can be taken from room to room by the housewife and used for a rest when the tiresome work of straightening the lower drawers In the bureau has to be done or the books on the lower shelf of the book rack dusted, or the laundry sorted out, all of which operations require one to sit on the floor or else break one’s back bending over. Avoffi this sort of calisthenics when it is not necessary. Use a low stool and rest Another use for this little stool is when packing a suit case or trunk, work that will be frequently on the day’s list during these months. Don’t kneel on the floor for that kind of work. The hinges of the knees will get rusty soon enough without such unnecessary provocation. How restful it Is to sit on one of these little bamboo seats when doing such work. Then when it is necessary to reach up to clean the chandelier or hang a picture, the little bamboo friend comes ill handy again, for it is just the right height to elevate one to the gas globe or the picture cord. Finally, don’t overlook the fact that the little bamboo stool is a most useful and comfortable footstool when you are enjoying the luxury of rest time on the porch. '

Brandled Peaches Without Cooking. Select large, perfect peaches, wipe with a rough towel to remove the fuzz, then pack in a stone crock. Cover with boiling water, so that all the fruit is immersed, then cover the mouth of the jar with a thick cloth so as to retain the steam. Let stand until the water is almost cold, take out the peaches and rub off the skin. Put a layer of the skinned peaches in the bottom of a jar and cover with a thick layer of the best granulated sugar. Add another layer of peaches, more sugar and so on until all the fruit is used, haying the sugar for the last layer. Pour in a pint of brandy, close and seal the jar immediately and keep In a cosl, dry, dark place. Another way of brandying peaches is to can the peaches In the usual way, but fill tn the last two inches of the jar with brandy.

The worst o’ \these here shepherds is, my boy, that they reg'larly turns the heads of all the young ladles about here. Lord bless their littlehearts, they think it’s all right, and don’t know no better; but they’re thewlctims o’ gammon, Samlvel, they’rethe wlctims o’ gammon. Nothin’ else, and wot aggragates me, Samivel, is. to see ’em awastln’ all their time and. labor in making clothes for copper-col-ored people as don’t want ’em and taking no notice of flesh-colored Christians as do. If I’d my way, Samlvel,.. I’d just stick some of these here lazy shepherds behind a heavy wheelbarrow, and run 'em up' apd down a 14-ln<?h plank all day.
