The Daily Republican Every Day Except Sunday HEALEY & CLARK, Publishers. RENSSELAER. INDIANA, Have you taken 15 minutes oft to learn Esperanto? Dear, dear, when an asbestos plant burns, where does safety lie? In time to come man may evolve a blunderproof, wreckless railroad. Paris has thoughtfully relegated the hobble skirt to the museum of horrors. In the agreement between Korea ■nd Japan the latter did the agreeing for both. A Long island milkman mistook a tnule for a cow. Moral: One cannot be too careful. A determination to practise what we preach keeps us from doing too much preaching. “Kondamnfgughin,” the cuss word tn Esperanto, is ornamental, but too long for practical use. There ought to be a greater difference between civilisation and the merely complicated life. Men may beat the birds flying, but the birds don't have much trouble With their propeller blades. “A woman-hater has been captured by cookies.” More than one manhater has been won by dough. Europe cannot expect to experience a cholera epidemic and an epidemic of American tourists at the same time. In the coming sham battle of areoplanes is the contest to see which crowd of aviators hurt themselves least? Washington has displaced the eagle and has made the woodpecker the state bird. This will make Old Baldy red-headed. Occasional showers are useful, but the weather man should not go away on his vacation and forget to turn them off. It has been decided that a divorced woman is the widow of her former husband. This classes husbands with the dead ones. Married men, according to statistics, are subject to fewer accidents than are single men. Somebody is keeping tab on their hours. An Illinois man has patented a safety pin with two points. However, wearers of the gallus are still waiting for the two-headed nail. It may be marvelous, but it is human that Susie, the pet ape, should refuse chewing gum simply because her teacher tells her to? The Philadelphia man who was choked to death by a high collar died a death that ought to turn Harry Lehr and Berry Wall green with envy. Half a million in counterfeit coin has been recovered by the United States in the past year. Has any one heard of any real money being recovered? Correspondents are arguing that a lie is occasionally justifiable and a Brooklyn judge decides that “dam” is not profane. Being good is becoming easier. In Paris filet of beef is worth 50 cents a pound and only cheap cuts of horse meat are as low as 20 cents. No wonder they call it “that dear Paris." The language of the North American Indian and the Japanese contain no Cuss words. What a handicap when An aborigine hit his finger with a prehistoric ax! Canada has discovered that it has $39,000,000,000 worth of peat bogs and it is wondering how it can induce its people to use peat at a low cost in preference to coal at high cost The uncle of the King of Portugal, who saw a man killed in a street fight among ruffians in New York, is now in a position to go home and write a book about American civilization. Esperanto will never offend against the pure-food laws, unless its advocates, being merely human, revolt against its limited expressions for emotional relief. Its vocabulary does not contain a single swear word. England is now figuring on a gasdriven battleship to render obsolete •11 vessels of the Dreadnought type. People over there must sit up nights thinking of new ways to spend public money. ■■■ •• \ A Poughkeepsie man who went to California to accumulate a fortune rapidly has just returned after an absence of 51 years. The old gentleman will probably put in the rest of his days reading all the get-rlch-qulck literature he can And and giving it the ha ha. In the presence of all this wonderful aviation on the other side of the ocean it would seem to be high time for Americans to do a few stunts; or Is it to be said that an aeroplane Is to have no honor tn its own country? .. . ■ ..
NO CLOUDS IN SIGHT
COLONEL GEORGE HARVEY SAYS COUNTRY ALL RIGHT. THE WRITER SEES HO CLOUD Striking Article In North Review That Is Attracting Wide Attention. The attention of business and professional men in all portions of the country has been attracted to a strikingly strong article by Col. George Harvey in the September issue of the North American Review in which the writer takes a view of the greatest hopefulness for the future of America and Americans. The article is entitled “A Plea for the Conservation of Common Sense,” and It is meeting with the cordial approval of business men of all shades of political opinion throughout the entire country. In part, Colonel Harvey says: “Unquestionably a spirit of unrest dominates the land. But, if it be true that fundamentally the condition of the country is sound, must we necessarily succumb to despondency, abandon effort looking to retrieval and cringe like cravens before clouds that only threaten? Rather ought we not to analyze conditions, search for causes, find the root of the distress, which even now exists only in men’s minds, and then, after the American fashion, apply such remedies as seems most likely to produce beneficent results? Capital and Labor Not Antagonistic. “The Link that connects labor with capital is not broken but we may not deny that it is less cohesive than it should be or than conditions warrant. Financially, the country is stronger than ever before in its history. Recovery from a panic so severe as that of three years ago was never before so prompt and comparatively complete. The masses are practically free from debt. Money is held by the banks in abundance and rates are low. “Why, then, does capital pause upon the threshold of Investment? The answer, we believe, to be plain. It awaits adjustment of the relations of government to business. • • • The sole problem consists of determining how government can maintain an even balance _ between aggregations of interests, on the one hand, and the whole people, on the other, protecting the latter against extortion and saving the former from mad assaults. “The solution is not easy to find for the simple reason that the situation is without precedent. But is not progress being made along sane and cautious lines? • * • Conserve Common Sqnse. “Is not the present, as we have seen, exceptionally secure? What, then, of preparations for the future? Patriotism is the basis of our institutions. And patriotism in the minds of our youth is no longer linked solely with fireworks and deeds of daring. It is taught in our schools. A new course has been added—a course in loyalty. Methodically, our children learn how to vote, how to conduct primaries, conventions and elections, how to discriminate between qualifications of candidates and, finally, how to govern as well as serve. They are taught to despise bribery and all forms of corruption and fraud as treason. Their creed, which they are made to know by heart, is not complex. It is simple, but comprehensive, no less beautiful in diction than lofty in aspiration. These are the pledges which are graven upon their memories:
“As it is cowardly for a soldier to run away from battle, so it is cowardly for any citizen not to contribute his share to the well-being of his country. America is my own dear land; she nourishes me, and I will love her and do my duty to her, whose child, servant and civil soldier I am. “As the health and happiness of my body depend upon each muscle and nerve and drop of blood doing its work in its place, so the health and happiness of my country depend upon each citizen doing his work in his place. 1 “These young citizens are our hostages to fortune. Can we not safely assume that the principles animating their lives augur well for the permanency of the Republic? When before have the foundation stones of continuance been laid with such care and promise of durability? “The future, then, is bright And the present? But one thing is needful. No present movement is more laudable than that which looks to conservation of natural resources. But let us never forget that the greatest inherent resource of the American people is Common Sense. Let that be conserved and applied without cessation, and soon it will be found that all the ills of which we complain but know not of are only such as attend upon the growing pains of a great and blessed country.
He Knows the Game.
According to the Metropolitan Megazine, Fire Chief John Conway of Jersey City, has solved the baseball excuse question by the posting of the following printed notice on his desk at fire headquarters: , “All requests for leave of absence owing to grandmothers’ funerals, lame back, house cleaning, moving, sore throat, headache, brainstorm, cousins* wedding, general indisposition, etc., must be handed to the chief not later than ten o'clock on the morning of the game.”
PURELY FEMININE
LINGERIE IS DAINTY UNDERGARMENTS LOOK LIKE THE WORK OF FAIRIES. Attractive and Almost Endless Selection of Materials Now to Be Had Give a Most Gratifying V Variety. Once upon a time a girl thought herself very well provided for when her mother gave her a bolt of longcloth and some spools of cotton and admonished her to be industrious, but times have changed, and girls have changed with them. Today longcloth undergarments are practically unknown and instead of the tatting and crocheted trimmings once fabricated so laboriously the modern woman goes to the shop for the daintiest laces.
Her intimate little garments—nighties. chemises, drawers, skirts and underbodies are all made of cottons or linens that look as if they have been spun by the fairies. The one thing the dainty modern girl does in imitation of her grandmamma Is to make her under-raiment by hand. If she is not skilled in the use of the needle, she buys lingerie by hand. But, alas, even in the finest materials ready-made lingerie is of two sorts, the good and the bad. * It may come from gay Paree or be made in the slums of the great American cities, but It is open to the same objection. The
MATCHED COSTUME STYLISH
One Color Effect Attractive, but It Is Not Always Within Reach of All. In the latest modes there are only two colors, a background shade and an ornamental one, and the latter Is matched through the whole costume. Let us suppose, for Instance, that the costume is green and gray. It is a three-piece suit, gray, with collars and cuffs of green, a green hem reaching almost to the knees, and a green silk frill and Pierrot collar and cuffs on the low-necked and short-sleeved blouse. The hat is gray straw, with plumes or Alsatian bow of green; the veil gray, with green figures, perhaps in the new comet design. The gloves are gray with green stitching. Even the silk underskirt carries out this idea. It is changeable green and gray or gray with a green ruffle. Shoes and stockings are both green, or perhaps the shoes are gray suede oxfords, with green silk lacing. The parasol is gray with a deep hem border of green satin, always in the same shade, so that there is no ugly divergence in color. And all the jewelry accessories, the belt buckle, the hatpins, the chain around the neck, are green artificial emeralds or jade. Perhaps the metal setting is of old silver jewels. And the same idea is applied to all other colors. Jt is wonderfully effective, though perhaps a bit out of the reach of the woman who has one suit a season unless she dresses always in the same colors. But even she may manage it by careful planning, and It is stunning enough to be worth while.
lovely restraint which is shown in the good things is, balanced by a superfluity of ornament, a gushing abandon as you might say, that brings a blush to the modest cheek. Is it possible, you think, any woman would wear such horrid things! When garments In coarse lawn and cambric are trimmed in this way they seem so inappropriate, that only to look on them dulls the appetite for elaborate lingerie. “Let me be plain forever more,” you growl, “and go forth with a nunlike petticoat, treated 'only to hems and tucks.” The best results In lingerie are cor respondingly attractive, and the endless variety of materials now used for the purpose gives a gratifying variety. Fancy lawn skirts, flounced with dotted muslin or cross-barred muslin, and nightgowns, chemises and underbodies are all made of these dainty weaves. The expensive batistes and dimities, the crinkled crepes and handkerchief lawns once regarded as exclusively for outside wear, are now used for all kinds of under-garments. With lawns, linen and cotton some new insertions that look like canvas are much used and several kinds of lace appear on a single petticoat. Tasteful monograms in hand embroidery are now de rigeur, and ribbons are run through a lawn insertion with slits of the exact width. With the exception of the joining of the seams, which is done by machine, every garment constructed in perfect taste should be made by hand. A delicate touch of color sometimes appears in the figured dimities, but the general preference is for all white with only the ribbons tinted. The illustration comprises a very smart petticoat and corset cover of nainsook. The skirt is gored, and the two cuts show it may be made either with a deep or a narrow flounce. For a dressy costume the flounce could be of lawrr, with lace instead of the cambric trimmings, shown herewith. The underbodice is hand embroidered and can be made in a single piece, except the tail, for the tucks at the sides fit it into the figure. Good undervests for summer are of lisle or Italian silk—the vests which are not ribbed. Three of a very excellent gauzedisle can be had for a dollar, and one dollar and twenty-five cents will buy a dainty silk vest with a lace edge and ribbon drawstrings.

A Boticelli Headdress.
There is a headdress affected by women of regular features and small, thin faces. This is a kind of Italian coiffure founded probably in the Botticelli scheme. All the hair on the crown of the head is rolled up to form a chignon that stands out a long way from the head in a direct line with the nose, says Hairdressers’ Journal. If the hair is not sufficient to make a firm, thick chignon, a “crepon” is wound in it or a thick pad of some sort. The arrangement must be very neat, the hair being brushed upward and standing out well. The top and sides are treated separately with a parting, either on top or at the side, while the hair is, besides, lightly puffed out over the ears. Those who like the wave apply the iron to this part, so as to produce deep, soft undulations, which bring an effect of light and shade into the scheme.
The Tilet Table
Do not use a brush to remove tangles. Remote tangles with a comb of smooth, even teeth, used gently and regularly. There are few scalps that are not benefitted by brushing for five minutes. Occasionally, however, when the hair is fine and delicate or is falling badly, brushing should ue omitted. Brushing with an unsanitary brush Is worse than nothing. This cleanly precaution takes but a few minutes if a‘little ammonia is put in a.basin of water and the brush dipped in it several times, then into fresh water. Dry quickly in the sun. Do not economize m your brush buying. Cheap bristles tear the hair and many injure the scalp.
Evening Cloaks.
Paisley shawl materials are to play an important part fpr evening cloaks and they will in many cases have deep, soft fur collars and be lined with amber mousseline. Black satin, which has been so much used for coats and skirts, will also be in favor for long coats, with no trimming but a bandsome fastening of silk cords set low down in the skirt of the coat
KEEPING THE CLOSET CLEAN
One Solution of This Problem That Confronts Many Is to Paint It White. Usually there nre about the house closets so dark that except at the yearly or semi-yearly housecleaning it is Impossible to tell whether or not they are dirty. They are breeders of disease, even in the best-managed households, for no maid and few mistresses will crawl into' the dark hole under the stairs or back in the kitchen after perfectly invisible dust. One solution of the problem is to paint these closets white, ceiling, floor and walls. It is easy enough to see dirt then, and the other and more useful contents of the closet as well.. If one can keep the hall closet clean, and find the family overshoe on sight, simply by painting the closet white, then, by all means, let us hasten to the paintshop and remove the obsolete and horrible wall paper that usually incumbers these germ hotels. If the closet is still dark after this treatment, try cleaning with the aid of the electric flashlight. There is no danger of fire, and corners can bs closely investigated. All of which is an advantage to the housewife who does not love dirt and disorder. But always, when cleaning day comes, consider first the closets, and most important of all of these is the sloping, dark, neglected closet under the stairs.
Rice Cutlets.
Two eggs, one-quarter pound of rice, one tablespoonful of grated cheese, two ounces of any kind of nut food, one-half cupful of brown bread crumbs, one tablespoonful of tomato sauce, a few sprigs of parsley, pepper and salt. Wash and put the rice in one pint of boiling water; boil rapidly until rice is tenfler and water absorbed; turn on a sieve, add onehalf teaspoonful of salt when half cooked. Stew the nut food in a gill of water for ten minutes, add the rice and the cheese, seasoning, then the yolks of the two eggs, well beaten. Stir the mixture thoroughly until set, then turn on a dish and let the whole cool. When cold form into cutlet shapes, dip each into white of egg, and roll in fine bread crumbs. Fry in smoking hot fat and serve hot. These two recipes are fairly rich in body building elements and will be found to be excellent meat substitutes and greatly relished now that meat prices are ever soaring.
Filler for Floors.
When you are having your floor stained here is a good filler, recommended by a paint man, to cover up the cracks in a carpetless floor. It is nothing more nor less than newspaper and mucilage. Soak the newspaper in warm water until it is reduced, by tearing and squeezing, to a mere pulp; mix this pulp with enough mucilage to give it consistency and stuff the cracks with it by means of a pointed stick, smoothing them off carefully so as to avoid lumps. This will do just as well as an expensive and troublesome putty filler.
Chicken Salad.
An attractive way of serving chicken salad is to place it in a ring of ham jelly. Two cupfuls of the salad should be poured in the ring of jelly after it is placed on a platter. To make the dish attractive the jelly should Test on lettuce or watercress. For the ham jelly whip one-half pint of thick cream until stiff, stir in a cupful of aspic jelly, cool a little, and add a jar of potted ham. By adding a few drops of fruit sirup it will make the jelly pink.
Mock Roast.
One cup of beans, boiled and mashed; one cup of peas, boiled and mashed; one cup of finely chopped peanuts or pecans, one cup of dry bread crumbs. Moisten the bread crumbs with water and mix with the mashed peas, beans, and nuts. Season with salt, pepper and onion juice. Put into a buttered baking dish, cover with a cup of rich cream and bake about an hour and a half. This is very healthful and a fine substitute for meat.
Apple Dessert.

Uncooked Ripe Tomato Relish.
One-half peck of ripe tomatoes, peel, cpt in small squares, drain two hours ’ add one cupful of grated horseradish, one cupful yellow mustard seed, two tablespoonfuls of salt, two tablespoonfuls of celery seed, two cupfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of black pepper, two red peppers cut fine, two tablespoonfuls of cinnamon, ground, onb quart of cider vinegar; bottle cold and seal. Do not heat or cook any of it.
Pineapple Punch.
Boil a pound of sugar and q quart of water for five minutes; strain, add to it the juice of one lemon and’ half pint of grated pineapple; stir and strain again; add sufficient amount of cracked ice to make it palatable, and add half a pint of finely picked pineapple and a few raspberries may also ba added
