Congress will meet in a few days.
We look for some stirring times this
winter. The democratic
members
will be quiet until a chance word, or
maybe a taunt, awakens them. It is
quite possible that something in the
president's
message
may
arouse
them, for the president is impulsive;
any strong emotion is enough to set
him going, and it will be just like
him to forget that under a quiet ex
terior the democrats will have a
savage feeling this winter. They ex­
pected a victory up to the very last
week of the campaign, and they have
waited a good while. We do not e x ­
pect much legislation of value this
winter. It will require a good deal of
work to pass the needed appropriation
bills. The Panama canal will come
in for a raking; the new battleship*
will be held up as failures on the
strength of criticisms already publish­
ed; the growing deficit will bo magni­
fied; gross extravagance will lie charg­
ed, and new legislation will tie fought.
The 90 days before the 4111 of March
will be mostly frittered away, for
there will be more bad tomper dis­
played than has been seen for 12
years past. The congress that will
convene on tho 4th of March will
have a summer’s work before it, for
with the unfinished business and tho
tariff to revise there will be work for
months on hand.—-Goodwin's Week­

It is economical becausejit can be quickly turned off when not
needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light
barn, when not needed, to save bother of lighting and adjusting.
In some homes the electric light bill amounts to only about $2 per
month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less
money than electric light, hut does it save you anything when it
limits opportunities for work and recreation, ruins your eyesight,
smokes your walls, mars decorations and increases household work.
You can probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your
meals, hut it wouldn’t be economy. It is not so much what you
save, hut how you save, that counts. YVe are always ready to ex­
plain the “ ins and outs’ ’ of the lighting proposition to you. Call
on us or phone to us. YVe are never too busy to talk business.

The poultrymnu was fast becomiug

as to the man’s intentions he approach­

“ Well, sir, what can I do for you?"
The man started and for a moment

Great as the advance in fire-proof
construction has been during the last
ten years there has been no let-up in
the use of lumber, and both architects
and builders find themselves so do'
pendent upon wood today that they
are compelled to admit that the for­
ests of the country are likely to bo’ the
chief source of building material for
many years to come. “ The use of
cement, terracotta, brick and stone,
with a framework of Bteel, w ill make
it possible soon to do away with wood
entirely,” is a remark often heard;
and, indeed, when one stands on low­
er Broadway and looks up at the
towering skyscrapers, the statement
seems to contain mhch truth. As a
matter of fact, however, the popular
idea that fire-proof materials will do
away with the need of using lumber
in a comparatively few years is a
