BAD POLICY.

It would Kocni that as long as we have had the ballot in America, and iwith our system of eel mat ion and our love of fair play, that we should have reached the place where, if we art* not willing to let the other man think differently from us, at least we would have learned that it is folly to raise a fuss about it. The local option election In Cass and Blackford Counties are illustrations of the lack of good judgment in a community where public opinion is divided. The temperance people, if report be true, have been intemperate in language and action and the wet forces have followed their example and even ex-1 reeded it. We doubt if misstatement ever won votes. Nor does an attack upon an honest man who exposes misstatement ever aid a cause. In Cass County the temperance forces were claiming that 75 per cent, of the inmates of the northern hospital for the insane were products of alcoholism. The superintendent, when asked about this, stated it as his opinion that this was fifty per cent too high. He doubted that 25 per cent of the inmates of insane hospitals were placed there by alcoholism. For this statement of opinion he was attacked, on the theory that at such a time he ought not to have made nich an opinion public. This Is foolishness. For neither good nor bad cause ought truth to be hidden. We must accord men the right to think as they please, and surely we ■ought to give them truth upon which to base their conclusions. Men who are good citizens have voted wet, and they are still good citizens and men worthy of respect. They did not see this question from the point of view of the dry forces, and voted their opinionc. That is all that can lie asked, that men vote their convictions and opinions. It is bigotry to hold otherwise, or to attempt to compel men by methods outside law to think or vote as we do. We have no right, in most instances, to question motives. The option move is

partly a moral matter and. unfornnately, also a matter of business. Views will differ, and the duty of the sane American Is to curb his •desire to be monarchial, to remember that this is America, to use his best argument to convince, and then to give the other man the right to vote as he thinks.

Object to Strong Medicines. Many people object to taking the strong medicines usually prescribed by physicians for rheumatism. There Is no need of internal treatment in any ease of muscular or chronic rheumatism, and more than nine out of every ten cases of the disease are of one or the other of these varieties. When there Is no fever and littl (if any) swelling, you may know that it is only necessary to apply Chamberlain’s Liniment freely to get quick relief. Try it. For sale by all dealers.

Glaze with yolk of egg mixed with milk. To Starch Linen Collars.

To properly starch fine linen collars, the plain or eyelet ones, they should lie carefully washed and dipped into a boiled starch made with lump starch (never flour). To the starch add a bit of borax (this tends to stiffen the linen) and also a small piece of spermaceti, which can be cut from a clean candle. Boil together and strain through a thin cloth. When the collars are dripped into the thick starch, rub the pieces between the hands to blend the starch into the pieces. When dry. make a clear starch by diluting cold starch with cold or tepid water. Put a drop of blueing in this starch. Dip the collars. Wring them very dry, roll them tightly In a towel, and no not iron for one or two hours, until the towel has absorbed as much of the moisture as possible. I^ay a collar upon a clean sheet, stretch It into shape, press out the wrinkles with the hands and wipe both sides to take off the dry starch which will adhere to the surface. Press lightly on the wrong side with a warm Iron, turn the collar and with a clean handkerchief or white colth, press the wrinkles from the right side, then iron the collar from the bottom or lower edge toward the top, or from the top toward the bottom, but not lengthwise, as that runs crosswise wrinkles In the material. Button the first collar together or round it under the iron and then close It with a collar button and place on a paper or towel near the fire to dry. Iron the next collar and finish all. Finish the other ironing, then polish the collars. Dip a cloth Into clear water, slightly dampen the right side of the collar and rapidly iron, with considerable pressure, across the collar. A polishing Iron has a rounded edge which acts the same as a polishing j-oll. It should be pressed hardl against the material and moved rapidly back and forth until the polish appears. A collar can be dampened a number of times to assist in the polishing process. This Is a simple method of doing home laundry work which Is as good as the best laundry work. When linen collars grow yellow, soak them In a solution of Javelle water wash In strong suds, rlnce and dry In the hot sun. ajvelle water will rot linen unless It Is thoroughly washed from the material.

In small apartments where pantry room Is limited, a good idea Is to have two shelves made, fastened together by two upright pieces of board at each end, to fit space under sink, On these shelves pots and pans can be placed upside down, and kept free from dust, and to conceal all from view a curtain suspended on brass rods, made of dark colored cretonne, can be stretched across ouuide of sink, making a neat appearance.

DEALERS LIKE OLD FRAMES. Thay 8*11 Worthless and Spurious “Old Master" Pictures. Nothing more readily sells a worthless and spurious "old manter" hideous with oil the blatant tricks of the fabricator, than an old frame. This is the bait which Is most killing. But dealers themselves often buy pictures for their frames. At the celebrated sale of the Sellars collection, most of which were copies and were of little value as works of art, the dealers were actually bidding for the frames only. To the experienced eye tne peculiar patina which age has Imparted to those old frames cannot be Imitated. But the old styles have, on account of the enormous demand, been repeated In modern days as copies sold as such, or as "faked” frames having a spurious suggestion of age artfully imparted to them by skilled workmen.

Ancient Flying Machine. Now that so much attention is l>eing paid to the problem of navigating the air, it may not be amiss to recall that a strange effort in this direction was made just 400 years ago. It was In September, 1507, that King James IV. sent a special ambassador from Edinburgh to France. An adventurer, John Damian, who had gained the favor of the king, said that he would reach France before the ambassador by simply flying there. He had a pair of huge wings made of eagles' feathers, fastened them to his body, and in the presence of thousands of people he launched himself Into the air from the walls of Stirling Castle. Instead of rising, though, he fell to the ground and broke his leg. The air navigator's excuse for hie failure was that some cock's feathers had been mixed Jn with the eagle’s plumes, and that these Influenced the body earthward. —Washington Herald.

Road That Swallowed Itself. A portion of the Temlskaming and Northern Ontario Railway at the 15l9t mile, or just thirty-seven miles above New Llskeard, has twice swallowed Itself, so to speak, and the Railway Commissioners are now waiting to hear what Its next performance will be. On the first occasion the line, which at the portion referred to was a fill in of a ravine, suddenly sank U) the depth of ten feet. A big gang of men was put to work refilling the vacancy. They had it levelled to the rest of the grade of the line, and were walking away satisfied that it would last, when the filling sank again, this time to a depth of at least fltteen feet. The men who are constructing the line are now earnestly engaged in another attempt to fill In the gap.

First Thought in Danger. 'Talking of the foolish things one thinks about when in the midst of danger,” remarked one of a group the other night, "I had promised my wife never to travel at night, and it is something I have always avoided, but necessity compelled it a few weeks ago, and as luck would have it there was an accident and the cars were derailed. As the one in which I had my berth was rolling down an embankment and I was In the midst of blankets, pillows, grips, etc., the terrible thought flashed across my mind: ‘What shall I tell Molly? Here I am traveling at night!”.—Columbus Dispatch.

Ancients Had Big Hotels. The most recent of the large hotels of New York scarcely compare with the 1,200 room house that the archeologists have recently excavated among the great ruins of Puye In the RaJarlto Park, New Mexico. The apartment house and the huge modern family hotel appear to be mere imitations of habitations which were occupied by an extinct civilization in tn e Southwest thousands of years ago. The 1,200 room house of Puye was only four stories high and, therefore, superior in the matter of altitude to the hotel skyscraper.

New Word Needed. An Innovation at the College of the City of New York in Its new home on St. Nicholas Heights is the use of glass blackboards. What is written on a glass blackboard may be .read from any angle except from behind it, as Dr. Baskerville, professor of chemistry, explained to his students. When a blackboard ceases to be a wall slate, then what will it become? Evidently a new word must be coined.

To Calculate Rate of Flow. To calculate the rate of flow of an artesian well a simple plan Is to lower a bottle of analtne fluid to a depth of, say, 500 feet, and then electrically explode a cap to burst the brittle. Ths time required for the fluid to appear at the surface gives an accurate guage as to the velocity of flow.

Great Silk Worm District. Piedmont, Italy, produces about three times as many cocoons as any other Italian province, and In proportion to its size is perhaps the most prolific silkwonn district of the world the yield during 1906 amounting to 11,001,647 pounds, with a value of $3 - 956,583.

A girl is never happy till some fellow comes along and makes her miserable.

If women were as careful of their Characters as they are of their complexions there would be fewer gras* widows in the world.
