Chicago, June 14.—Forty more Taft delegates in forty contests were seat-, ed Wednesday by the Republican na­tional committee. Not a single Roose­velt man was aeated ii^ the day’s deci­sions, covering contests in Arisons, California, Louisiana, Michigan and Mississippi.

In most of the decisions the Roose­velt men voted with the Taft dele­gates.

This makes the vote to date: Taft, 141; Rooeevelt, 1.

The first contest of the day waa that of Arlsona’a alz delegatea-at- large.

A motion of Senator Borah to teat the Rooeevelt delegates from Arisons waa defeated and the Taft delegation aeated after request for a roll call failed because not enough members would second It.

The California contest. Involving the two delegates from the Fourth district, was then called.

Mr. Bryan stated that two Taft dele­gates, because they claimed to have about 260 majority In the Fourth dia- trlcL declined to be bound by tbe Roosevelt vote in the state at large.

The members of the national com­mittee who voted against seating the Taft delegates In this district were:

Knight, California; Dupont, Dela­ware; Borah, Idaho; Burnam, Ken­tucky; Wight, Louisiana; Jackson, Maryland; Kellogg, Minnesota; Flani­gan, Nevada; Ward, New York; Ca- pore, South Carolina; Thoraoh, South Dakota; Monday, Tennessee; Lyon, Texas; Loose Utah; Rogers, Wiscon­sin; Bleber, District of Columbia.

The Michigan contest, involving six delegates &t-large from that state, was seated by the committee without a roll call.

There were two Republican commit­tees In Louisiana, both claiming to be regular." One of these was the Will­

iams, or “lily-white," committee, the other the Kuntx, or "bl&ck-and-tan,” committee.

The committee, by a vote of 48 to I, voted to seat the six Lolael—Taft black and tan”—delegates-at-large,

Committeemen Wight and Thorson voting no. Mr. Wight then withdrew contests in the First, Second, Sixth and Seventh districts, adding eight more to the Taft cblumn. The commit­tee then took up Louisiana contesta In the Third, Fourth and Fifth districts, all going to Taft.

Then came the Mississippi cases. These contests Included the seats of the four delegates-at-large and two each from the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth dis­tricts. National Committeeman L. B. Moseley headed the Taft delegation, which In this case appeared as the con­testants, because the Roosevelt dele­gation had first filed Rs credentials.

The committee decided to seat the four Taft delegates-at-large from Mis­sissippi with little division.

In the First Mississippi district Sen­ator Borah said he waa authorized to withdraw the contest. The commit­tee thereupon seated the two Taft delegates from the district by unani­mous vote. Adjournment followed.

Oyster Bay, N. Y., June 14.—Theo­dore Roosevelt announced through Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver Wed­nesday that he Is In favor of woman suffrage In this country and that tbe platform which he will submit to the Chicago convention will contain an unequivocal declaration to that effecL

WELL P08TED.A California Doctor With Forty Years’

Experience.

"In my forty years' experience as a teacher and practitioner along hy­gienic lines,” says a Los Angeles physician, “I have never found • food to compare with Grape-Nuts for the benefit of the general health of all classes of people.

"I have recommended Grape-Null for a number of years to patients with the greatest success and every year's experience makes me more enthusias­tic regarding Its use.

"I make It a rule to always recom­mend Grape-Nuta, and Postum In place of coffee, when giving my patients in­structions as to diet, for I know both. • Grape-Nuts and Postum ffitn be digest-' ed by anyone.

"As for myself, when engaged in much mental work my diet twice a day consists of Grape-Nuts and rich cream. I find it just the thing to build up gray matter and keep the brain in good working order.

"In addition to Its wonderful effects as a brain and nerve food Grape-Nuts always keeps the digestive organs In perfect, healthy tone. I carry It with me when I travel, otherwise I am in­most certain to have trouble with my stomach.” Name given by Postum Co- ' Battle Creek. Mich.

Strong endorsements like the above from physicians all over the oonntry have stamped Grape-Nuta tbe moat scientific food In the world. "Tbete’s a reason/

In the “Racine Put­tyless Window” putty is replaced by lead- for its durability. The lead inlay being of a uniform thickness the finished window is always uniform and the margins are efven apd clean out.

Hit Commencement Alnn.When the class of 1912 of the Chats­

worth high school received their di­plomas on Tuesday evening, few who witnessed the event thought of the fact that the exercises also marked the last of the active school work of Prof W A.

Saturday. Mr. Dixon has been afflict­ed for some time, his trouble being caused by infeetlon which came from trimming a corn on his toe. About two months ago he was taken to a hospital where hie limb was amputat­ed above the knee and for a time he raHled and hopes were entertained for his recovery, but his age was against him, being 87 years old, and be finally succumbed to his ailment, and passed away at the home of his son, in Blue Island. Mr. Dixon was a man of fine edueatiun and broad culture, formerly a successful school teacher of Iroquois county and owned a fine tract of laod in the vicinity of LaHogue and for years made bis home there. Later, be with bis estimable wife and daugbte/. now Mrs. E. O. Soamahorn, of Pella township, moved to Watseka. Mrs. Dixon died about two years ago. He was a life long'member of the Metho­dist cburch and bis home was always the home of his pastor.

The assessment of Brenton and Pella townships for 1912 has been completed and a week ago the asses­sors returned their books to the super­visor of assessments, John H. Nelson, of Paxton.

The amount of personal property for Brenton township Is 8636,219 and for Pella township 8234,007. The largest item for Brebton township is “Credits of other than bank” amounting to 8153,126, and the lowest single item is "gold and silver plated ware” 8102. For Pella township the largest item of personal property is “ horses” , 8102,457 and the lowest, “organs”, 8171. In Brenton there are 79 organs valued at 81,188. There is evidently more musi­cally inclined people In Brenton than Pella as Brenton has, 166 pianos and organs as agaiiiet 84 for Pella. Pella has Brenton beat ou horses by 10 heed (1,157) but Brenton is strong on auto­mobiles, having 31, or 16 more than1 Pella. • \

C r e a m"How would the passage of the par­cels post bill affect the young womanof the country, the girt who is blos­soming Into maturity?”

It would take thousands of her kind from the stores and offices of the country towns and send them to the city there to be the prey of the vul­tures of commercial and immoral life as it Is played today In the hlvea of Iron and atone .

It would give to the world In the end many broken women Instead of women able to bear robust sons and daughters for their country’s weal.

Others would play the game nobly— and make the best of a bad system, but making the best of It would be so much worse than a country life, that even the strongest of the girls would fall when weighed In the balance* of re*l success.

Instead of thousands of girls who are hanging on In the cities today, there would be many thousands more —many thousands who would live from hand to mouth as clean, pure American girls. But the number who live otherwise would be Increased, for- pot all have the stamina and the forti­tude to stand out against the tempta­tions and deceits of a great city. There would be many more young women following the Ignis fatuus of music or art In the cities whfle the folkB at home skimped and slaved to give the girls an opportunity. The girl heart must be full, the girl bands occupied or she will, be restless and miserable. At present many girls are satisfied to be employed at home, from which employment they usually step Into homes of their own. Lucky girls!

Under the competition brought about by parcels post, the Country stores would gradually decline, throw­ing young women out of employment as clerks. As the town declined, the professional men would lessen in num­ber, relieving the girls of situations In offices. And among these so relieved many would come to the city, some to work, some to fit themselves for a higher calling such *&s art and music and medicine.

I wonder if the folks back home realise how much good, hard-earned money Is being dissipated by daugh­ters who are studying art and music In ^Chicago? And I wonder If they realize how many of the hundreds who are studying have no more fitness for success lu the line they pursuing than a town cow for algebra. It’s all right, of course, if the folks back home can afford It. for It gives the girl a look In on the busy life and, in a way. It pol­ishes her, but It Is pitiful sometimes to brush back the curtain and see what selfdenial is being practiced to give the girl advantages for which she Is fitted merely to dream of, never to carry Into execution.

Thousands and thousands of dollars are being spent for music in Chicago today by girls who have no talent— and by young men. too. as for that. And under the system that would tear down the country town—the parcels post system—thousands of women with the blush of country health In their cheeks would come to the city with their dreams of becoming great singers or musicians or artists! And tha harvest to th* things of the elty that hurt would be great!

You may argue until the cows come home and you cannot deny this. It is happening every day all about ua In the cities. And when I tell you the truth I am not slamming art or music or Inspiration to succeed. I have re­spect and admiration for all those vir­tues add especially for the young wom­an who . goes through the lire of the cities, coming out unscathed and worth while In the profession she has chosen.

But what I want to ask you, mother, h : "Do you want your girl to taka the chance?”

If you don’t, fight the parcels post bill. Do you believe what'I have told you? Read this excerpt by ,A. W. Douglas in the National Magazine and see If he doesn't speak the truth as like what I have said as two. peas:

“One of the problems of the day,” he says, "Is the congestion of the large cities and the drift from the farms and the small tpwns to the great cen­ter of population, and the evil* which have arlaen because of this congestion are vary serious and vary difficult to solve!

"The retailer In the small town and vllage as a rule is an Independent,, economical and level-headed American citizen. It la certainly a good deal better for the country at large that he should continue as such than that ho should be forced to seek employment In the large cities and become a mere clerk In the huge department stores and In the catalog or mall order houses.”

You will, see from the above that Mr. Douglas believes tb it not only the women clerks but the proprietor him­self will be forced Into the cities, and I haven’t a doubt but tbat in time, should we be unfortunate enough to be cursed with parcels post, our coun­try towns win be like the rural towns of foreign countries wher* parcels

The essential con­ditions to hear in mind are warmth, dryness, fresh air, sunlight or bright, cheery surroundings, cleanliness, free­dom from lice, and an abundance and variety of good nutritious food to­gether with clean water, sharp grit and charcoal.

right thing to do Is to make them com­fortable all of the time. Think for a moment how delicate must be the machinery of these little bodies which have been built up from the albu­men of the egg mainly in the short pe­riod of 21 days. How little resistant powers they must have to withstand

'unfavorable conditions. What they need for the first three days is a warm, dry place to sleep and rest and digest the yolk of the egg which was taken into their bodies Just before their ex­clusion from the shells. Don’t try to Induce them to eat or drink at all dur­ing this period. It is often the cause of serious bowel troubles to feed them earlier.

Let us consider, then, how some of the so-called farm machines can be used to lighten the labors of the house­keeper. The house will have furnace heat, and, by whatever power water Is carried to the barn, that same pow­er will carry It to and through the house, where provision will be made for hot water, also.

The gasoline engine can be utilised In running the washing machine, the wringer and the chum. If electricity Is available It can be used for a com­plete laundry outfit—washer, drier and mangle. Moreover, by Its aid a vacuum cleaner will do the family sweeping. It will also save a large part of the time devoted to the dusting process. So much for the machinery for wash­ing, ironing, sweeping and churning.

Brewing and baking are still to be considered, and there are few places where greater care needs to be exer­cised than in the selection of the kitchen stove. Women and stove manufacturers need to cooperate In deciding what really constitute essen­tial factors In a good stove. It Is quite generally agreed that among these are a good firebox, thick walla, well Insu­lated that will retain heat, a well In­sulated oven not on the floor, ao that baking process means practice In kneeling, but at the aide and at a height easily managed when a wom­an at&nds upright.

A flreless cooker Is a desirable addition to this outfit, not onlp because it saves fuel, huh because the kitchen can be a much more comfortable place in which to work U one Is used.

made in that field. In fact, only two machines are in anything like general use In the farm home, the sewing ma­chine and the washing machine, and the latter is often of the crude type. There may be a little something in the argument that women as a rule have no strong affinity for machine* or me­chanical devices, and therefore do not seek their aid, hut in the opinion of the writer the difficulty lies far deep­er, via., in a very general misconcep­tion of the activities for which provi­sion should be made In a well equip­ped farm home. The activities there conducted combine those of a bake shop, a laundry, a dairy, a restaurant, a, bathhouse, sometimes a hospital, as well as a place for rest, recreation and social enjoypmnt.

For any one of these, heat, water and light are regarded as essential, and no meager supply, either, but that which Is abundant and easily con­trolled. A restaurant or dairy with­out water and a bake shop without ad­equate provisions for heat are not to be considered. Let us understand, then,, that farm mechanics and home mechanics have no Impassable gulf be­tween them, that they are not at oppo­site ends of the poles, that one might possibly speak of farm mechanics and house mechanics, but that home me­chanics, in its true meaning, includes (arm mechanics.

upon the breeding of lire stock ns oae of the most Important steps to the Im­provement of their system of farming. Success In this line, as in all other de­partments of farm management, must be measured by the Actual value of Its products and the profits that may be derived from them.

In Illinois the breeding of horses la being carried on more extensively to* day, perhaps, than for many years; no doubt this condition Is due to the high prices which have prevailed for all kinds of good horses. We are often asked the question, ‘Is there any dan­ger of over-production T" Our answer is, “It will depend to a great extent on how they are bred.”

Today the horse market calls for an­imals that will conform to some spe­cial type; In other words, the animals must classify as draft, carriage, road or saddle horses. These classes are always In demand at fair prices—often at very high prices, but the horse that will not conform to any of these types is what Is generally known as a “gen­eral purpose animal," and will never be In as great demand as the “special purpose horse”—will never command nearly so high a price In the market, and in many cases will not sell for enough, to defray the cost of raising him.

If we desire to produce a draft horse we must breed along certain definite lines; this will apply to the breeding of road or .carriage-horses but the man who breeds general purpose horses can go about It in almost any way he pleases—In fact this hone la. In most Instances, a cross-bred ani­mal, and the reason we have so many inferior horses in Illinois today Is the lndlscrimlnat* mixing of the different breeds.

Cost of Tuberculosis and Other Pre­ventable Diseases Has Been

Put Into PlgureA

While state commissions and other bodies are trying to find a method for reducing the cost of life insurance. Prof. James W. Glover of the Uni­versity of Michigan demonstrates that every policyholder of a $10,000 or­dinary whole life policy could save about 920 a year on hla premiums if tuberculosis and typhoid fever were eliminated. Tuberculosis alone causes a loss to such a policy holder of from $16.70 at twenty to $17.50 at the age of sixty. At age of twenty, with the present high death rate from tubercu­losis, this one disease alone shortens the complete expectation of life by two years and 158 days. While the death rate from tuberculosis seems to be declining, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis says that the combined effort of every man, woman and child is necessary to bring about a radical reduction in life Insurance rates such as Professor Glover has indicated.

IT IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT THE SKIN AND HAIR Don’t Persecute

Gates, who, it Is feared, wll die of consumption before he can fulfill the conditions of his $250,000 legacy from his uncle, will be taken west In the hope of saving his life. Charles Gates and Mrs. Gates arrived here from Texas to accompany him. Baker's Ill­ness is due to a cold contracted while driving a ninety-horsepower automo­bile to Aurora fron Chicago.

Think of the suffering entailed by neglected skin troubles—mental be­cause of disfiguration, physical be­cause of pain. Think of the-pleasure of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and good hair. These blessings, so essen­tial to happlnese and even success In life, are often only a matter of a little thoughtful care In the selection of effective remedial agents. Cutlcura Soap and Ointment do so much for poor complexions, red, rough hands, and dry, thin and falling hair, and coat so little, that It Is almost criminal not to use them.

The committee has made an ex­haustive study of the road situation in the state and has discovered, among other things, that there Is an annual waste of $2,500,000 of the taxpayers* money under present conditions.

The existing township highway sys­tem Is severely criticised. The report says:

"There Is no other branch of the public service that shows such a large percentage of waste. Any business enterprise .under such a system would not last through a season, but so long as the people continue to put up the money and retain the present system this loss will continue.”

It is estimated that about $7,000,000 annually Is spent for road purposes. Reports to the bankers’ committee from fifteen townships showed that 100 per cent, of the money waa wasted; from sixty-eight townships, 75 to 90 per cent; from ninety-five townships, 25 to 60 per cent.; and from forty-sev­en township, 10 to 25 per cent.

The report ehows that conditions are getting worse instead of better. "The money la not willfully wasted,” says the report, “but It Is spent In small amounts here and there in the endeavor to patch up and make passa­ble a poor road and a poor bridge. There Is not money enough at hand to do a good Job. This makes It neces­sary for the highway commissioner to do the best he can with what he has. The result Is the same work has to be done ovei* each successive year, with no permanent benefit to the roads.”

The bankers’ committee secured its Information from a series of questions sent to bankers In all parts of the state. Reports were received from 430 townships In ninety-eight counties. It Is estimated that there are about $4,000 miles of public highway In the state, of which 10.3 per cent. Is Im­proved with either stone, gravel or

On Sunday next the locals will jour­ney to Sibley and try their skill with th a t aggregation. This promises to be a good game and weather permit­ting a large number of fans will prob­ably go down from here.

Sundty between the locals and the Cullom Majors was a farce from be­ginning to end, and about one hun­dred of our population returned home very much disgusted. Cullom trim ­med the locals by the mournful noise of 7 to 1 in one of the biggest bone- head games of the season, making two straight defeats for the locals. Bob Norman, who was on the mound for the locals, pitched his usual good game, but was given rotten support, nearly all the errors made behind him counting In the run getting! Swan­felt, of Paxton, who pitcbecK for the Majors, was bard to get next to by the home boys, only 6 hits being polled off him. Gravel got a clean tbree-bag- ger in the 7th with nobody on the Backs, and died on third. The locals tried to start something in the flogl round when they managed to get three men on bases, but only odo map trotted in home with a score, and pre­vented a white-wash. The following is the score:
