'A garden club may be started from a very small seed, but it is bound to grow, giving a new interest to many who have never really known the possibilities of their country places, the pleasure of understanding a grow-. ing garden. Such a club was recently started, and but a few rules were found necessary. A president was chosen, a secretary-treasurer and a committee of three to suggest the topic to be written upon. All the members must have pardena. All were privileged to ask any friends to the meetings at their houses. A slight fee enabled small prizes to be given such as the finest rose to be grown, the prettiest arrangement of a center piece, the loveliest bunch of sweet peas, the finest peonies or the best chrysanthemums. At each meeting a paper on gardens Is read. During the winter meetings are held once In two weeks or once a month. . Topics are chosen with regard to requests from members on certain aubjects. The proper separating of bulbs, when to plant seeds in boxes and how to thin out the seedlings. Extracts from authorities off each subject are read and compared, the ideas often varying materially. How to Clean Furs. If one's furs are dirty bran is a simple, Inexpensive and easy material With which to freshen them up. First of all, however, the bran should b heated. This is best done by placing it in an earthen dish and warming it In the oven. When the bran Is hot take it out, get a piece of flannel and with this rub the hot bran well into the fur. Then 4et it stay in the fur for at least half ai hour, after which it should be thoroughly shaken out. To make sure thai It all comes out the fur should be well brushed until the piece is perfectly clean. Sometimes one cleaning is not sum cint, especially it the fur be particu larly dirty, but two or three applications should surely be, sufficient. The bran simply draws out the dirt leaving the fur fresh and new in appearance. How to Us an Auto Horn. When approaching a street crossing always alow tip, and if you intend-to drive straight ahead give one long toot of the horn. If you intend to turn oft" north, south, east or west indicate that purpose by giving a number of short blasts of the horn. The pedestrian who Is about to step off the curb will be attracted by the sharp toots and remain on the sidewalk. Accidents will be reduced to a minimum: The public will quickly learn the meaning of the horn and their lives will be further safeguarded. The rapidly growing antagonism to the motor car because of unscrupulous drivers will be gradually tempered. The horn the most importr.nt accessory to an automobile is oftUsta tusad Use Jjiut. ;

CONVENTION

COL ROOSEVELT'S " CONFESSION OF FRITH " ADDRESS

(National News Association) CHICAGO. Aug. 6. Mr Roosevelt's speech strikes a keynote for his fol lowers and supporters in the new par- j ty. It lays down the plan of battle to be waged by the National Progressive party. He discussed those principles under twelve subdivisions, namely, The Helplessness of the Old Parties; The Right of the People to Rule; The Courts and the People; Constructive Control of the Trusts; Rights of the Wage-Worker; The Farmer; The Tariff; The High Cost of Living; Currency; Conservation; Alaska and International Affairs. "The two old parties," he said, "are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly what should be said on the vital issues of the day." As opposed to this incongruity and insincerity of action he asserted that the National Progressive platform will be "a contract with the people," with definite and concrete provisions to be carries out if the people ratify the contract on election day as exactly and honestly "as if it were actually enforceable under the law." No Help From the Old Party Machine. Neither the Republican nor the Dem ocratic platforms or managers show any adequate recognition of the mighty fact "that we are now in the midst of a great economic evolution." This irresistible movement for economic change and improvement must be guided by "both common sense and the highest ethical standards," in order to prevent reasonable evolution from becoming dangerous revolution. The Democratic party, as is indicated by its present record in Congress lacks the common sense, and the Re publican party, by its record of stolen delegates at the Chicago Convention, lacks the ethical standards. "The men who presided over the Chicago and Baltimore Conventions, and the great bosses who controlled the two Con ventions Mr. Root and Mr. Parker, Mr. Barnes and Mr. Murphy, Mr. Pen rose and Mr. Taggart, Mr. Guggen helm and Mr. Sullivan differ from one another, of course, on certain points, but these are the differences which one corporation lawyer has with another corporation lawyer when act ing for different corporations. They come together at once as against a common enemy when the domination of both Is threatened by the suprema cy of the people of the United States." The Right of the People to Rule "The actions of the Chicago Convention, and to an only less degree of the Baltimore Convention, have shown in striking fashion how little the people do rule under our present conditions." In order to assure thiB popular rule Mr. Roosevelt urged the adoption of Presidential primaries, popular elec tlon of Senators, the short ballot, an efficient corrupt practices act, quali fied use of the initiative, referendum, and recall. The recall should be applied to administrative officers. Mr. Roosevelt asserts that the adoption of these new methods of political admin istration is not antagonistic to repre sentative government. "All I desire to do by securing more direct control of the governmental agents and represen tatives of the people is to give the people the chance to make their rep resentatives really represent them whenever the Government becomes misrepresentative instead of representative. I have not come to this way of thinking from closet study or as a mere matter of theory; I have been forced to it by a long experience with the actual conditions of our political life." The Courts and the People. Under this head Mr. Roosevelt strongly emphasizes the necessity of the sovereign people preserving check on every branch of public ser vice. Under this head Mr. Roosevelt reiterates his now well-known views regarding the courts. "The American people, and not the courts, are to de termine their own fundamental poli cies." This does not mean that the people are to interfere in cases which involve merely questions of justice between individuals except that "means should be devised for making it easier than at present to get rid of an incompetent judge." But when judicial decision involves an interpretation of what the people mean by the constitutions which they have framed and laws passed by the people are nullified because the courts say those laws are contrary to the people's will as expressed in their Constitution, there must be a "reference to the people of the public effect of such decision under forms securing full deliberation," to the end that the people may rectify this alleged defect in their Constitution by a popular vote having all the force of a Constitutional amendment. "Our purpose is not to impugn the courts, but to emancipate them from a position whenever they stand finally in the way of social justice. ... I am well aware that every upholder of privilege, every hired agent or beneficiary of the special interests, including many well-meaning parlor reformers, will denounce all this as 'Socialism or 'anarchy' the same terms they used in the past in denouncing the movement to control the railways and to control public utilities. As a matter of fact, the propositions I make constitute neither anarchy nor Socialism, but, on the contrary, a corrective for Socialism and an antidote to anarchy." Constructive Control of the Trusts. In addition to punishment for wrongdoing by the trusts, the imperative demand is effective and complete regulation. The Tiews of President Van Hise, of the University of Wisconsin, in his scientific work on trust regulation are in harmony with the programme of the National Progressives. "The present conditions of business cannot be accepted as satisfactory." The reason ifix ibis Is. ojjlAioed, in Rooae

velt's opinion, by the fact that "those dealing with the subject have attempt-

ea 10 tuviae mio iwo camps, eacn as unwise as the other." One camp has fixed its attention only on the need of prosperity "prosperity to the big men on top, trusting to their mercy to let something leak through to the mass of their countrymen below, which, in effect, means that there should be no attempt to regulate the ferocious scramble in which greed and cunning reap the largest rewards." The other camp has so fixed its attention upon the injustices of the distribution of prosperity, "omitting all consideration of having something to distribute, and advocates action which, it is true. would abolish most of the inequalities of the distribution of prosperity, by only the unfortunate simple process of abolishing the prosperity itself." reverse of that thus confusedly indicated." There should be applied to all industrial concerns eneae-pd in interState commerce in which there i3 eith er monopoly or control of the market the principles already adopted "in reg ulating transportation concerns engag ed in such commerce. The Anti-Trust Law should be kept on the statutebook to be invoked against every big concern tending to monopoly or guilty of anti-social practices. At the same time a National Industrial Commission should be created which should have complete power to regulate and control all the great industrial concerns engaged in inter-State business which practically means all of them in this country. This commission should exercise over these industrial concerns like powers to those exercised over the railways by the Inter-State Commerce Commission and over the National banks by the Controller of the Currency, and additional powers if found necessary." "The Progressive proposal is defi nite, it is practicable. We promise nothing that we cannot carry out, we promise nothing which will jeopardize honest business. . . . Our proposal is to help honest business activity, however extensive, and to see that it is rewarded with fair return, so that there may be no oppression either of business men or the common people. We propose to make it worth while for our business men to develop the most efficient business agencies for use in international trade; for it is to the in terest of our whole people that we should do well in international business. But we propose to make those business agencies do complete justice to our own people." Where these con cerns deal with the necessaries of life, the commission should not shrink, if the necessity is proved, from going to the extent of exercising regulatory control over the conditions that create or determine monopoly prices." It is imperative to the welfare of our people that we enlarge and extend our foreign commerce. We are pre-eml nentiy iuiea io ao tnis Decause as a people we have developed high skill in the art of manufacturing; our business men are strong executives, strong organizers. Industrial Justice Referring to the opening sentence of his address, namely, "that we are now in the midst of a great economic revo lution," Mr. Roosevelt presents an ad vanced and comprehensive plan to insure the rights and fetter conditions for labor. He gives it the paramount place in his speech. "The first charge upon the industrial statesmanship of the day," he said, "is to prevent human waste. The dead weight of or phanage and depleted craftsmanship, of crippled workers and workers suf fering from trade diseases, of casual labor, of insecure old age, and of household depletion due to industrial conditions are, like our depleted soils, our gashed mountain-sides and flooded river bottoms, so many strains upon the National structure, draining the reserve strength of all industries, and showing beyond all preadventure the public element and public concern in industrial health." He proposed sever al specific methods for preserving and Improving "our human resources, and therefore our labor power." Wage scales and other labor data should be made public; all deaths, injuries, and diseases due to . industrial operation should be reported to the authorities; wage commissions should be established in the Nation and State to determine the minimum wage scale in different industries; the Federal Gov ernment should investigate all indus tries with a view to establishing stand ards of sanitation and safety; there should be mine and factory Inspection according to standards fixed by interState agreement or by the Federal Government; National and State leg islation should establish standards of compensation for industrial accidents and deaths and for diseases clearly due to industrial conditions; for the adoption by law of a fair standard of compensation for casualties resulting fatally which shall clearly fix the minimum compensation in all cases; the monetary equivalent of a living wage varies according to local conditions, but should be sufficiently high to make mortality possible and to provide for education, recreation, proper care of the children, maintenance during sick ness, and reasonable saving for old age; excessive hours of labor should be prohibited for all wage-workers, and night labor of women and children should be forbidden; one day of rest in seven should be provided by law; continuous twenty-four-hour labor should be divided into three shifts of eight hours by law; tenement-house manufacture should be entirely pro hibited, and labor camps should be subject to Governmental sanitary reg ulation; all industries employing women and children should be specially subject to Government Inspection -and regulation; insurance funds against sickness, accident, invalidism, and old age shoulbe established by a charge either in whole or In part upon the industries; the suffrage should be isolated UoiajOoxoUwis

son, to enable worklngwomen to com-

bine for their own protection by the use of the ballot. The Farmer. "The Country Life Commission should be revived with greatly increased power; its abandonment was a severe blow to our people. The welfare of the farmer is a basic need of this Nation." The ' country school should be brought in touch with country life. For this reason the Progresatlon wJth h fjmner make farm more productive. Co-operative associations of farmers both for the production and the selling of agricultural products should be encouraged. "So long as the farmer leaves co-operative activities with their profit-sharing to the city man of business, so long will the foundations of wealth be undermined and the comforts of enlightenment me impossible in the country communities." The Tariff. On the tariff he says: "I believe In a protective tariff, but I believe in it as a principle approached from a standpoint of the interests of the whole people, and not as a bundle of preferences to be given favorite individuals." He believes the American people favor the principle of a protective tariff, but are in rebellion against the wrong-doing and unjust application of that policy and the abuses In past legislation. "It is not merely the tariff that should be revised, but the method of tariff-making and of tariff administration." "The first steps should be the creation of a permanent commission of non-partisan experts" of "ample powers" to secure 'exact and reliable information." 'The present Tariff Board is entirely inadequate in point of powers reposed in it and scope of work undertaken." The revision shall be downward and not upward and secure a square deal not merely to the manufacture, but to the wage-worker and to the general consumer. The High Cost of Living. The cost of living," says Mr. Roose velt, has risen during the last few years out of all proportion to the increase of most salaries and wages." What is first necessary is "fearless, Intelligent, and searching Inquiry into the whole subject, made absolutely by a non-partisan body of experts with no prejudice to warp their minds, no private object to serve, who shall rec ommend any necessary remedy heed less of what interest may be hurt thereby, and caring only for the interests of the people as a whole." Various elements, economic, political, and social, are pointed out by Mr. Roosevelt as contributing to the high cost of living. But effective legislation regarding it can only be framed on a comprehensive scale after a thorough scientific and prompt inquiry. The Currency. Mr. Roosevelt declares that our pres ent bank currency based on Govern ment bonds is unscientific, and urges the adoption of a system which shall provide "elasticity In the credit and currency necessary for the conduct of business, free from recurring panics." The control of such a system should be in the hands of the Government, and must be free from "manipulation by Wall Street or the large interests." Conservation. Under this head Mr. Roosevelt re affirms his well-known policy on the conservation and reclamation of National resources. We must conserve our soil, our forests, our mines, not only for our own benefit but f c the benefit of our children and descendants. "The public should not alienate its fee in the water-power which will be of incalculable value as a source of power in the immediate future," and "we should undertake the complete de velopment and control of the Mississippi as a National work, just as we have undertaken the work of building the Panama Canal." Alaska. . 'In Alaska the Government has an opportunity of starting in what is almost a fresh field, to work out various problems by actual experiment." It should at once construct, own, and op erate all the railways in Alaska; it should keep the fee of all coal-fields and allow them to be operated by les see with the condition in the lease that non-use shall operate as a forfeit; a system of land t nation should be tried which promotes the actual use of land and discourages the holding of land for speculation; the telegraph Resinol heals baby's

lines should be owned and operated

by the Government." International Affairs. "In international affairs this country should behave towards other nations exactly as an honorable private citizen behaves towards other private citizens." Our small army should have laree efficiency: the navy must be steadily built up until "it proves possible to secure by international agreement a general reduction of armaments:" the Panama Canal must be fortified. Panama Canal tolls on deepwater commerce should be uniform to all nations, including ourselves; American coastwise vessels should pass through the Canal free, for this would be no discrimination against foreign nations and would give us reasonable competition with transcontinental railways. No fereign treaty should be entered Into which we do not mean scrupulously to observe In every particular. Conclusion. In summing up the specific policies expounded In his address Mr. Roosevelt spoke as follows: "Now, friends, this is my confession of faith. I have made it rather long because I wish you to know just what my deepest convictions are on the great questions of today, so that If you choose to make me your standard bearer in the fight, you shall make your choice understanding exactly how I feel and, if after hearing me, you think you ought to choose some one else, I shall loyally abide by your choice. The convictions to which I have come have not been arrived at as the result of study in the closet or the library, but from the knowledge I have gained through hard experience during the many years in which, under many and varied conditions, I have striven and toiled with men. I believe in a larger use of the governmental power to help remedy industrial wrongs, because it has been borne in on me by actual experience that with out the exercise of such power many of the wrongs will go unremedied. I believe in a larger opportunity for the people themselves directly to partlci pate in government and to control their governmental agents, because long experience has taught me that without such control many of their agents will represent them badly. By actual experience in office I have found that, as a rule, I could secure the tri umph of the causes in which I mast believed, not from the politicians and the men who claim an exceptional right to speak in business and Government, but by going over their heads and appealing directly to the people themselves."

Slang names for money offer a bewildering variety. Henley and Farmer in their slang dictionary give twenty terms for money in general, most of them, such as "coliander seeds," "oil of angels" and "king's pictures,' being pretty well obsolete. The slang of specific sums is interesting. A sovereign has been known as a glistener, a goldfinch, a mouse trap, a remedy, a stranger and a new hat. The names for a shilling include blow, generalize, northeaster, Manchester sovereign and peg. A sixpence, now called in slang little else than a tanner, has been a tester, a tizzy, a lord of the manor, a bender and a cripple. London Standard. Ths Busy Bigum. The begum of Bhopal, India's fa mous woman ruler, has just donated $35,000 toward tbe establishing of a girls' school at Delhi. In a public address not long ago she urged the women of India to make the education and liberation of their sex tbe chief objects of their lives, declaring that female education Is the foundation of all national success and progress.

HOW TO FILL DINNER PAIL Werkinamen Like Swt Things te Est For Luncheon. What to put in the dinner pail has always been a vital question to the housewife who must "put up a lunch" each morning fr the men of the family. For a week or two it is easy enough to fix a dinner pail so that the contents will be both nutritive and appetizing, but by the end of the second month tbe meal that must go Into the pail has become a skeleton that haunts the housewife all through the day. Tears ago it was thought sufficient

If the dinner pail contained a wedge of Indigestible pie. a sandwich and a bottle of coffee, but today the contents should be more inviting. Many still stick to the pie and doughnuts and the remains of yesterday's supper, not because they do not care, but be cause they have not given the matter sufficient thought. Sandwiches, of course, on account of their nutritive value, the ease with which they may be packed and their variety, will always form the basis of the dinner pail meal. But a sandwich need not consist of two thick slabs of white bread with a thick piece of meat thrust in between. There may h mnnv varieties of bread used, and white bread, whole wheat bread, graham bread, rye bread, Boston brown bread, baking powder biscuits and crackers may be alternated with satisfactory results. Greasy and fried foods must be avoided, for satisfactory work cannot be done after a heavy, greasy meal of cold fried things. The sandwich filling i as important as the bread. Any kind of meat mokes a good sandwich, but it should be sliced or chopped thin and slightly salted. The bread should be buttered. Besides, meats of various kinds, cheese
