FORCE G. O. P. TO NOMINATE TEDDY AGAIN

CHICAGO, Jan. llJ-Determined. it is believed, to bring about the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for president by the Republican national convention here on June 7, leaders of the Progressive party went into conference at the Congress hotel today. The meeting was not called to order until after a lengthy telegram had been received from Colonel Roosevelt. The telegram bristled with the theme of preparedness. . - . : The plan by which the Progressives hope to force Colonel Roosevelt's nomination upon the Republicans was outlined by Frank Funk, candidate for governor of Illinois in l912. "We likely will decide today to hold

our convention here the same week the Republicans meet," said Funk. "If the Republicans plan to nominate their presidential candidate on Thursday

we will nominate Roosevelt on Wed

nesday. Unless the G. O. P. nominates Roosevelt it is a certainty that there

will be a thir.d ticket in the field."

UR6ES L0riTZr TO WAKE RACE FOR CONGRESS

V BY'LEE AULT. , f. - Permit " me vto ? say a few . words

through' the columns, of your paper on the7 refusal of J.- M. Lonts to become a candidate - for nomination . to Congress pnJils party's ticket. Mr Lonts was a student of : mine when I had charge of the Hagerstown schools and I have watched his career with deep interest. I know his worth. He accomplishes what he undertakes. He ' not' only: does things. He does then right. . . : ; . , ' With his. naturally good Judgment, his- varied and extended training in business' affairs, and his . splendid energies, he would make ' a valuable representative in Congress. ' : Is it not time that we turn to, such men as" J. - M. .Lontz to ' serve us in

public, life' rather than to professional

politicians? The mere fact .that Mr. Lonts con

tinues to refuse is just the reason why

the people should insist that he enter

the race. Doubtless It would mean a

sacrifice, but it is a public duty and I trust- Mr. Lontz's1 friends will succeed in getting him to view the matter

in that light :

I, for one, am deeply concerned in seeing politics placed on a higher level and I urge others - who are likewise

interested to prevail on Mr. Lontz. and

do everything possible to have him an

nounce his candidacy. Right , at this time, if never before, we need men of ability at the head of our government. No one is more fitted to serve than J. M". Lontz. Hi3 country needs him and I -sincerely trust his . friends can induce him to answer the call.

Curling Hair Like This Promotes Its Health I

For those whose hair is straight and lank nothing better could be recommended than the stlmerine method. This insures a beautiful curliness which is perfectly natural in appearance, and the health of the hair is not affected as where the heated iron is used. A few ounces of liquid silmerine which can of course be had at any drug store lasts a long time, so it is quite economical to use. It is pleasant to use, too. being neither sticky nor greasy, and is easily applied with a clean tooth brush. The hair should be moistened the full length before retiring. The pretty wavy effect In evidence in the morning is surprising to those who try this simple method the first time. The liquid also serves as an excellent dressing, giving the hair a delightful gloss. Adv.

We do not mean the Amazons, the dynamiter, nor the militants. .But those good women so dear to our hearts who make our homes for us. These wholesome folks have a treaty with cleanliness that keeps them ever at war against dirt and uncleanllness in all its forms. Soap, if you' work hard enough with it, will make things clean, but it won't kill germs! - Borax mixed in proportion with soap will make the soap work better and your work easier. , Also borax kills germs. " So that by using borax soap chips you get things clean with less work than by the old methods and you also

get them antiseptic. ' 25c worth of "20 Mule Team Borax Soap Chips' will give you more cleanliness with less work then 50c worth of bar soap or washing powders. Adv.
