Association of American Advertisers No. .Whitehall Bldg. N. T. City This Js My 57th Birthday CHARLES J. DOHERTY Hon. Charles J. Doherty, Minister of Justice in the Dominion cabinet, was born in Montreal, May 11, 1855. He was graduated from McGill University in 1876 and admitted to the bar the following year. He was appointed professor of civil law at McGill in 1890, and later the chair of international law was added to his duties. In 1891 he was appointed to the Superior Court of the Province of Quebec. After his retirement from the bench in 1906 he Interested himself in financial affairs. He first entered the House of Commons In 190S. There never was a time when people appreciated the real merits of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy more than now. This is shown by the in crease in sales and voluntary testimonials from persons who have been cured by It. If you or your children are troubled with a cough or cold give it a trial and become acquainted with Its good Qualities. For sale by all dealers. OLD NEWSPAPERS. Their Usefulness Is Not Gone Just Because You Hava Read Them. The mere fact that moths cannot read Is no reason why they should detest newspapers, but they do nevertheless. It Isn't exactly the newspaper or Its editorial policy that moths dislike. It's the ink used In printing the type that makes the moths stay away. That is why, In the absence of mothproof bags and cedar chests, some housewives pack their furs and woolens way wrapped in newspapers at the end of the winter season and find that Is a satisfactory way of preserving them against the ravages of moths. There is nothing better than old newspapers for use under the carpets for the same reason. Old newspapers have many other uses as -well. Wet in water they serve to clean out the stove splendidly.. Crushed newspapers are excellent to clean lamp chimneys. They can even be used for an iron holder for an emergency. Newspapers dipped in lamp oil are useful for cleaning windows. Irons not much soiled can be rubbed on Old newspapers and thus made fit for use. Dipped in lamp oil they are splendid to rub the outside of the dlshpan. They keep it bright and shining. Torn In shreds, slightly dampened and scattered over the carpet, they keep down dust when sweeping. They clean the sink of its grease and sediment. Koth lng is better, for the greasy paper can be st once burned after use. Many times folded newspapers will serve as a mat to stand hot and blackened pots or kettles on and save soiling the kitchen table. The kitchen stove is kept bright after the cooking of each meal with old papers, and this saves many polishing. To enable two persons to use the same typewriter, a table has been invented in which there is a turntable to told the machine. CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY A ROMAN EMPEROR'S INHUMANITY. By A. W. MACY. As an exhibition of cool and exquisite vengeance nothing in all history exceeds in horror that taken by Basil II., a Roman emperor of the eleventh century, on 15,000 captured Bulgarian soldiers. They had been guilty of nothing worse than defending their country against the invasion of his army, yet he had their eyes put out, leaving, however, a. single eye to one of each hundred men, in order that he might lead his blind companions back to their Bulgarian king. It is said that when they appeared before that monarch he was so overcome by the horror of it that he died within a few days. Basil died at ' sixty-seven, "dismissed," says the historian, "with the blessings of the clergy and the curses of the people."

The Registration Law Again.

Of course on paper it can be shown the gigantic cost of the registration law. All up and down the state there is an attempt to prove that it is not worth the money to discourage repeating and other favorite tricks of ward heelers. The law is not the best law that could be framed. Its terms are a trifle ambiguous and loose but It is far better than no law at all. In fact in comparison with the other election laws of the state the registration law is tight, strong and wholesome. If some of its provisions applied with equal force to the primary election laws Mr. Kealing and the Hon. Lew Shank would not have been able to pull off some of their ten deliveries of the same votes. The only feature of the registration law which is obnoxious is that which gives a plausible and much needed argument to the vendors of voting machines. The next legislature can do nothing more needed and more popular than to revise all our election laws not upward nor downward but to make them straightforward.

He Really Needs To. Mr. Taft will make sixty three stops in Ohio. Why is this necessary, in view of Mr. Taft's overwhelming popularity not only in Ohio but generally throughout the country? The more we think it over the more we are apt to believe he was right when he said "Even a rat will fight " for there seems to be some little necessity for fighting.

Those Little Amenities.

Considering that from time to time representatives of Earlham Col-, lege deplore the fact that there is not (to use their own expressions) "better feeling between the town and Earlham " that "the college should be better supported" we sometimes wonder if our fellow townsmen are so lacking in responsiveness and those little amenities and courtesies of life as our Earlham critics would have us believe. May we dip up from the passing stream the fact that although Mr. Talcott Williams, known throughout the country as an editor and leader, the head of the Pulitzer school of journalism is here as the guest of Earlham that the local newspapers have been entirely ignored. One might think that such pitiable and pitiful .creatures as the newspapers adjoining Earlham Post Office, which is to say Richmond, might be taught a lesson in courtesy, coals of fire heaped on their heads for past injustices by inviting them to at least participate by keeping very quiet in some cobwebbed corner. We are informed that the local papers were "overlooked, which was merely an oversight, and that one representative of our paper may be allowed to creep by the grand outer guard upon payment of two dollars." Mr. Williams is known for his carefulness of detail, his capacity for gentleness and courtesy. As the head of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity he did much to touch the lives of young men in this country by leading them toward the well balanced ideal of Sir Phillip Sidney, the perfection of gentleness and polished courtesy, coupled with scholarship and militant patriotism. Mr. Williams' arrival at Earlham Is none too soon.

SWIMMING CONTEST Much interest is being taken in the amateur swimming contests to be conducted by Odiva, the fam6us diver, who appears at a local vaudeville house next week, these to be held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and to be entered by a number of local experts. Silver cups will be awarded the winners. '.'.mnatiy Extraordinary. A traveler writing . in an Italian magazine says that the Swiss canton of Ticino is inhabited by the most honest folk it is possible to imagine. In most of the Ticinese villages, the writer says, the oldest inhabitants do not remember any case of thieving, however petty, within a lifetime. Lost objects when found must never be taken away; they must be left where they were dropped or placed in a conspicuous position so that the rightful owner can find his property more easily. The case is cited of an American woman tourist who lost her purse on an excursion in the Val Capriasca. The purse contained gold coin and a Jeweled watch. Upon returning from her trip she found the purse with its contents Intact on a little heap of leaves, so placed that it could not fail to attract her attention. New York Sun. "THIS DATE

Women s Secrets There is oae man in the United States mare women's secrets than any other country. These secrets are not secrets the secrete of suffering, and they have

R. V. 'Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help. That few of these women have been disappointed in their expectations is proved by the fact that 98 per cent, of all women treated by Dr. Pierce or his able staff, have been absolutely and altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable if the cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. But when that record applies to the treatment of more than half-a-mil-lion women, in a practice of over 40 years, it is phenomenal.

and entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women, as the first of specialists in the treatment of women's diseases. Every sick woman may consult us by letter, absolutely without charge. All replies are mailed, sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, without any printing or advertising whatever, upon them.

I say to myself: Tomorrow I will set myself to the task that is close at band, tbe thing that needs my urgent attention. Today I am too busy or too tired or too lazy. Tomorrow, say I, I will take time foi the gracious and tender word that I forget or neglect to speak today. Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow I will do the generous deed I thought to do today, but failed In the performance. Tomorrow I will begin the pursuit of the thiugs worth while the realities of life. Tomorrow I will be a man and put away the petty eniuTations and the cheap struggles that come to naught. Today I am busy with my selfish concerns. Tomorrow the speech of love shall not stick in my throat and want expression. Tomorrow surely I will be thoughtful of my fellows and courteous to all and gentle. Tomorrow! Ah, the things I hope to do tomorrow! And, foolish soul of me, do I not know from long experience there is no such thing as tomorrow? Do I not know that tomorrow, so called, is but the extension of today that eternity itself Is but an extension of this present moment? Tomorrow? The word was invented by men like me with which to fool themselves men who, like me, when fronted by the duty they dared not face today, hoped to push it away from them by a 6ingle word. And so, like me, men, talk of tomorrow and "resolve and re-resolve, then die the same." Cannot I learn that resolution, however harnessed, will not plow with tomorrow? Do I not know that resolution, hitched up with today, is able to turn great furrows? Say not to yourself, "There is time tomorrow." Because there is no other time than this now! And there will be no other time. Tomorrow will never come. Today is coming! ThereforeWhatever the urgent task, do It now! Whatever the special word you hope to say, say it say it now. "Whatever the deed you contemplatedo not wait. Do not juggle with tomorrow. It will hold the word of promise to your ear and break It to your heart. Begin today. Do It now.

NEWS OF THE LABOR WORLD

Journeymen tailors recently formed a union at Phoenix. Ariz. The New Zealand cities of Wellington and Christ Church have elected labor mayors. On June 3, at Boston, Mass., the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks will hold its annual convention. The International Transport Workers' Federation has now a membership exceeding 250,00 men. All the men who are workin on ranches and in orchards in the vicinity of Fresno, Calif., are being organized. The first protest against convict labor was made by a convention of mechanics which was held in Utica. N. Y., in 1834. During the year 1911 the Boot and ' Shoe Workers' International Union paid $90,000 for sick, disability and death claims. A strike is on at Birkinhead, England, to enforce a demand for a raise in wages of the egineers, about 2,000 men being affected. At a meeting of the Aberdeen (Scotland) joiners, it was decided to demand that the wages be increased from 16 cents an hour to 18 cents. The plumbers' union of St. Paul, Minn., obtained an agreement from the master plumbers whereby the Saturday half-holiday will shortly be inaugurated. The latest of workmen to organize are the I-ondon (England) barmen. In the busiest public houses these men work as many as 105 or even more hours a week. The Socialist party in Hawaii demands higher wages, white labor employed and shorter hours. Wages range from $18 to $25 a month for the plantation laborer and far less for women and children. Four thousand of the five thousand men employed in railway constrution camps along the Canadian Northern railway, between Hope and Kamloops, struck recently to obtain higher pal and shorter working hours. The pattern makers employed by the job shops of Portland, Ore., are on strike for the eight-hour day. The strike is part of the plan to establish the eight-hour day in the metal trades along the Pacific coast. The general secretary of the United Textile workers of America gives out the statement that 25,000 textile workers have recently received an advance of 10 per cent in their wages. This advance was obtained without a strike. The Photo Engraver's International Union during 1911 issued six charters to new' subordinates; there was a gain of 277 members and there were four strikes, one ow which was won and three pending. The cost of strikes was $24,463. An agreement has been reached between the International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths and the Western federation of miners whereby there shall be an interchange of working cards between the two organizations without additional expense to the members. Pulp remaining after the sugar has been extracted from beets in beet sugar factories has usually been thrown away as worthless, but now it ! is used for feeding cows. The asser tion is made that it is a good milk producer. PAPER HANGER I. M.

Want Your Money's Flanders "20" Touring Car, $800

The next time an automobile salesman tries to sell you a car at a discount, tell him that the old "somecaing for nothing" etory can't fool you. The best automobiles in the world are sold for their list price, not a penny less. They are worth it. But the lame ducks, the second rates, the nondescript and assembled automobiles are in the public market looking for the highest bidder. Look out they don't get you. If gold-brick cars are not worth their list price, how much are they worth? Nobody knows. Cut price deals are frauds. But if you want a car of one price to all and worth every cent of it, get either a Studebaker E-M-F "30," $1100, or Flanders "20," $800. You can trust them. You get all that you pay for, and that is more than you get with any other car at near their price. Studebaker guarantees them that's the big reason. No matter what price temptation falls in your way, Studebaker E-M-F "30" and Flanders "20" cars are far bigger bargains, because in years of good service and satisfaction they pay big returns. We can prove it Send for our new catalogue The Studebaker Corporation

WATER OF THE WORLD.

What Will We Do When the Population Outgrows the Rainfall? Dr. McGee, an American scientist, "who follows the form of Investigation that usee weighing scales for testimonyscales that cannot lie." has found that the average Individual uses directly or indirectly about 4.400 ton of water every year. He drinks a ton. The vegetables he consumes require about 400 tons for their growth, and his annual meat supply of 200 pounds uses up no less than 4,000 tons of water. Using this figure as a basis. Dr. McGee shows that when the population of the United States has reached 1.017.000.000. which he thinks will occur about A. D. 2210. every drop of the annual rainfall will be required to maintain the food supply, and no further increase of Inhabitants will be possible. The present Inhabitants of the entire world, estimated nt about 1.500.000.000. can be increusod to 20.000.000.000 If the total annual rainfall of earth remains as it is today that is, thirteen times the present iopulutloo will crowd the earth to its limit. Dr. McGee's estimates, however, leave quite out of account the ques tlon of tapping the oceans, which l at least a possibility. London Maga line. Professor W. Batcson. in delivering the Herbert Spencer lecture at Oxford. ; said he thought organized society was ! fast nearing one of those great secular ' changes through which history occasionally passes.
