Candidate Sherman has at last got
his speech learned and Is reciting it
He says that he along. with Mr. Taft
should be elected in order to carry
out the Roosevelt. policies. Tet this
same man Sherman, as one of Uncle
Joe's lieutenants, opposed In the last
congress every one of the Roosevelt
policies, and everything else that
w6uld be of benefit to (he people
rather than the trusts. There is one
admirable thing about Sherman
that is his "gall."
Neither President Roosevelt nor
Candidate Taft, nor any one else, has
satisfactorily explained why the Re
publican party has not done dnrlng
the past four years what these men
are promising it will do during the
next four years. Its only chance of
success lies in making the people be
lieve that it is going to reverse Its
record and do Jast what for years
it has neglected and refused to do.

Cleaning a Hair. Mattress.
T IS not so formidable an undertaking
as it may seem, according to a
writer In the Ladles' World. Take
blight weather for the work. Have
two wash tubs side by side out-doors
where the wast water may be easily
thrown out. Attach a rarden hose to
-the nearest fauoet for filling tha tuba.
With sharp scissors cut tne tunings
of the mattress and rip the seam at one
end. Take out enough of the matted
hair to fill one tub. allowing it to
aoak for a few minutes, aa this loosens
the mass. Separate a small piece at a
time, dipping and wasning with the
hands then throwing it into the next
tub. Pass back and forth from one tub
to the other, throwing out dirty water
and refilling with clean until the water
remalni clear. Stretch wire fenclna.
