Every morning the bed should be

stripped as soon as the late occupant rises. Bolster and mattress should be beaten and laid upon chairs to air and cool. The covers should be shaken in

the air and disposed in such a manner that the air may freely visit them. The mattress should be turn

ed and laid on end to allow free circulation of the morning breeze.

Three hours at least should elapse

before the bed is remade. It takes

fully that length of time to dissipate

the odor and warmth imbedded during the night.

William F. McCorabs. William F. McCombs, who, as chair

man of the Democratic national cam

paign committee sucessfully conducted

the campaign that resulted in Wood-

row Wilson's election to the Presi

dency, was born In the little town of Hamburg-, Ashley county, Arkansas,

Dec. 6, 1875. He received his early education in a country scchool and later

prepared for Princeton at the Webb school in Tennessee. He was graduated from Princeton in 189S, and then entered the Harvard law school, where he completed his professional studies In 1901 and. was admitted to the New York bar. Vith little money and no influence he went to New York and began his career as a lawyer by accepting a clerkship in the offices of a wellknown law firm. Within a year or two he began practice on his own account. His rise in the profession was rapid and soon he had built up a large and lucrative practice. Trior to the recent campaign Mr. McCombs' sole political experience was when he became a candidate in 1904 for assemblyman in a strong Republican district. Although he was defeated, the young lawyer waged an aggressive campaign and ran ahead of his party ticket. Congratulations to: Atlee Pomerene, United States senator from Ohio, 49 yo&rs old today. E. H. Sothern, one of the most popu

Sitting on a davenport in the parlor of his home, John H. Stvons, 45 year old, a shipping clerk employed at a Muncie gear factory, swallowed a quantity of strychnine yesterday morning and died a short time later. Stevens was found in a dying condition by his wife, who was hanging up clothes when she heard her husband scream. Physicians were summoned and Stevens begged them to save hia life, but the poison had don its work and he died in his wife's arms. He gave no reason for his act. The Lawrence County Commissioners have decided, following the recount of ballots cast at the recent election, which resulted in a tie between the Republican and Democratic candidates for county treasurer, that there was no election. It is probable that the. Democratic candidate, Lincoln Burton, will appeal to the Circuit Court. Should the appeal be denied the commission ers will appoint the next county treasurer.

They've found the stingiest man in

and then he plugged the straw.

WAS A GOOD PICTURE THOUGH. Latest fashion in Washington society is to show your teeth and have your picture taken. Nothing new in Homewood. Saw two ladies at a bridge party the other night showing their teeth because one of them made it spades instead of bridging it to her partner. No pictures were taken though.

THE LONGING PATRIOTS.

Notice that the Greek warriors are

fussin garound to have peace declared. We thought all along that those

Hellenic candy store, restaurant and shoe-shjning reservists would get

restless as the holidays neared. Think what agony they must suffer when they recall other Christmas times, the jingle of the cash register when the Americans took their fruits, nuts and meals and left bank notes in return.

MARY'S LITTLE LAMB. Thank goodness there is one dream of childhood safe from the deadly work of the iconoclast. There really was a Mary who took a little" lamb to school ' one day, and Mrs. L,. W. Owens, of Pueblo, Col., who is now in Boston ,can prove it.

Mary was Mary Sawyer, of Sterling, near Worcester, Mass. She became Mrs. Taylor and is burled in Waverly. She became possessed of the lamb in 1814 when eight years old. Tha school teacher who evicted the lamb was Rebeckah Kimball, who told Mrs. Owens the incident. John Roulstone, who immortalized the affair in verse ,was then studying for the ministry with the Rev. Samuel Capen, of Sterling. This comes like sunshine after rain and thanks are certainly due Mrs. Owens. The inconoclast has had his way long enough. Evidence in rebuttal of attempts to destroy faith in other cherished beliefs may be hoped for. Some day we may even get a city administration in Hammond that will give us ornamental street lighting. You never can tell.

REPORT has it that the wealthiest Indians in this country are the Osages of Oklahoma. Still they do not have nearly as good a time for their money as Bill McAleer's Indians.

WHAT WE MAY EXPECT. It looks as if there might be a civil war between Mayor Knotts Lake County Marching club and Judge Beker's Wilson Progressive League

and Oscar Plageman's Jefferson guild over the pie-counter supplies in thi3 sovereign county. That the Gary patriots are going to be anything but ubiquitous is far from the truth. In their eagerness to get at the fleshpots the Garyltes may violate some of the nice rules of political etiquette and muss up the table cloths and napkins and spill so much gravy that the powers that be may have to cut the pie in other bailwicks to preserve peace in the family.

HAY FOR THE MOOSE. The other day William Allen White, head of the bull moose party in Kansas, sent a letter to Fred HamBond, of Burlington, saying: "The

no one will interfere with the determination of the bull moose bosses to launch local tickets in all the Indi

OH dear! Such Is life. Charles Such is suing Helen Such for a divorce in the Lake superior court. "PUPILS ASK SIX DAYS' SCHOOLGARY CHILDREN LOVE WORK SO MUCH THAT THEY WOULD ATTEND ON SATURDAY." Chicago Examiner headline. Gee! Won't this make the editor of the South Chicago Daily Calumet madly jealous. He'll write a twocolumn ten-point editorial about these wonderful Gary kids. FORTY governors are In session at the conference at Richmond, but there is only one real governor In the whole lot. He is the governor of Florida, and he isn't married. FRENCH count who Is marrying a Chicago girl says he is passing up $70,000,000 to do so. Must have been listening to some of the stage money talk of the Gary city hall contractors. SARAH BERNHARDT advises young couples getting married to seek ideal honeymoon trip by Pullmanizlng it from N. Y. to 'Frisco. In the meantime the Gary and Interurban between Gary and Hammond and the Erie to Crown Point will continue to be the most popular honeymoon routes in. these parts. THE 'steemed Illinois Improvement and Ballast company, which got its

fingers into the Ridge road jam jar to the extent of an extra $66,000, wants to get some newspaper men's goats. Got any old Billys you don't need? A. C. II. No sir! We shall not run any notice in this department urging folks to shop early. They wouldn't, anyhow. IRISHMAN died in Dublin yesterday at the age of 116. He smoked and drank like fury. This illustrates that booze will get you in the long run.

FAD GAINS POPULARITY. The "fad" of sleeping out of doors all the year, protected from rain and snow by a wind shield, is gaining favor with every passing month. Faith in the method exemplifies the truth that one cannot have too much air while sleeping, provided the covers are warm enough to protect the body from chilliness. The lungs will take care of all they can inhale and the blood will be enriched by the steady supplies of oxygen. Each member of the family should have a single be !
