One might think that each individual would know the hest way for her to fiud repose, hut I have seen so many women fling themselves down to "rest." with all their clothes on, necks bound in tiKht collars and closely corseted, that 1 reahze com para tively few have even a notion of how to relax body and mind. Resting is a science, and to do it so that one will be refreshed, it is necessary to completely relax. There will be little or no renewal ot strength if the nerves and brain work like mad during the "rest." Three things essential to re pose are litrht garmeuts, quiet and a subdued light. Lacking any one of these much good is lost, and twenty minutes used in this way are worth hours of ly ing down without relaxing. A woman who is at home all day may take such a rest at any lime that she chooses to arrange her household atTairs for that purpose, but for a business wo man it is different. Yet she needs it, and I wish all would try using a half-hour in this way when they come from a day down-town, particularly while the summer heat has been ex hausting. To begin the "rest" first re move all the clothes one has worn during the day and, if possible, take a shower bath. Failing this is a sponging in cold water (a real sponging, not a bath) is suf ficient, and then put on a thin dressing gown. No matter how small the apart ment, there must be one room in to which a person can go to be quiet, and there she should hide herself. Trouble In Central America. In the Uenlial American states the normal couditiou is unrvst, with insurrection, revolution and invasion always just beneath the surface. Although they have a republican form of government there is only the form and not the substance, for the ruling power is nearly always a military dictatorship, and the many re hellions and revolutions are not for the purpose of establishn.g much needed reforms, but rath er they are struggles in which the government and t'.ie offices and the official grafting are the prizes. A more serious condition than usual now threatens those States, and all may be involved in a war growing out ol a disturbance in Honduras. A dispctch from Washington says that the revolu tion against the government of Honduras headed by foi mer President Honilla has developed all the old international animosi ties. Honilla is in the field and has taken a couple of towns, and President Davila, who fears that tne insurrectionists will take the only seaport on the Pacific, is said to be making preparations to resist them. At the same time President Zelaya, of Nicai agua, is getting ready to assist the government of Honduras. The latter State charges Guatemala and Salvador with fomenting the insurrection, and Guatemala contends that Nicaragua is at tbe bottom of the. trouble. Thus the efforts of Pres idents Rooseve.lt and Diaz to pro mote friendly relations between the republics, have been put forth in vain, and the work of the recent Centra! American peace conference to provide means for a peaceful settlement of interna tional disputes, is likely to prove a failuro. It would be well for the Cen tral Americans if all the States could be united in a federation that would forever end the many bloody and cistly struggles that prevent the development of coun try and people. It is to be fear ed that so long as the republics remain separate and independent the insurrections and revolutions and international wars will be frequent. Star-Independent. II Reached Tbe Spot.

Humphrey, who owns a large general store at Omega, O., and is president of the Adams County Telephone Co , as well as of the Home Telephone Co., of Pike County, O., says of Dr. King'sNew Discovery : "It saved my life once.

Our own problem looks excep tional to us, but it is not The next man we meet has an equally hard sum on his slate and is working it out or giving it up, quite in our own fashion. We think, perhaps, that riches would solve our difficulty for us in no time, or pleasure would soften it, or change would substitute an easier one. But in reality there is only one rule ny which to work it out the rule of character. Fourth Louses and War. More people a. e killed in the I'uited States every year through Fourth of July celebrations than were killed in any battle of the Revolutionary Wir, and the total number of casualties of Fourth of July celebrations during the last four years is more thau dou ble the total losses of the Amen cans during the eight years of the Revolutionary War, accord ing to statements contained in an article entitled. "Tho Glorious Fourth" in the current issue of the National Food Magazine. The magazine gives a table of com parisons showing the losses in the battle of the Revolutionary War compared with the total cas ualities of all the Fourth of July celebrations since 1903, and says: "Five thousand people in the United States, mostly children, and now well and happy, will be either dead or wounded within the next few days, or before the celebration of this Fourth of July is ended. If Eugland has a re veug"ful sou she must iaugh in hellish glee to see us turn our weapons of death on ourselves and carry on forever aud with fourfold energy the work of slaughter she began during the Revolutionary War. "Every Fourth of July more people in the United States are killed in celebrating our inde peudence than were killed in the bloodiest battle of the Revolution ary War. The number of killed and injured during the last Fourth of July was nearly ten times as great as were the Amer icau losses at Bunker Hill; it was fifty times as great as at the combined battles of Lexington and Concord, more than sixty times that of our losses at Ben nington; over seven times the American losses at German town; more than four times the number of our soldiers killed, wounded and imprisoned at the battle of Brandy wine, and more than twice as great r.s all the losses tin American arms sustained at Cam den. "The list is nearly seven times as great as the number of British killed and wounded at King's Mountain; it is eight times as many as the American losses at Kutaw Springs; more than ten times our losses atGuilford Court House, and more than sixty-two times as great as our losses at Cowpens. "If these comparisons are not sufficiently convincing to prove the horror and destructiveness of our Fourth of July celebration, then combine both the British and the American losses of the bloodiest battles of the Revolu- tion and multiply that by two, and even then you will have to add more to equal the figure i f the total casualtie- of our pres ent day Fourth ot July celeora tions. Aud then if that compari son is not sufficiently convincing, let it be remembered that the casualties of every Pourthof July are greater than the total number of both British aud American soldiers engaged in most of the battles of the Revolutionary War. "It should be remembered that the losses in the battles mention ed include the killed, wounded and the number of prisoners tak en. "Other comparisous might be given by citing the Battle of Ger mautown, where the Americans lost 1000 and the British 000; Lexington and Concord, with a British lossof 273; Camden, where the American loss was 2000; King's Mountain at whJch the Llntish lost 451!, killed aud wound ed, and 04m prisoners; and Benn ington, where the British lost HiiO and the Americans 70. "Thus it is seen that our cele bration of tbe victory ovor the British is many times more dis astrous than our war with tbe British; that Great Britain was never such an enemy to us as is our own exultation."

Thesweete4t. purest ornament that a womau can wear, and of which she should feel proudest, is the clinging necklace of her baby's arms. You can make protty and dur able table mats of the bottoms of used grape baskets. Taar off the sides and cover the bottom part 1 with white linen or table oilcloth Hang a palm leaf fan by each bed. It is a comfort to have a breeze at command when you wake in the middle of a sultry night, and the cooler air and the regular motion of fanning often soothes oue to sleep. Some folks are troubled by po tatoes turning dark after being boiled, especially at this time ol the year. If they are peeled an hour or so befce they are cook ed, and left to stand in cold wa ter, they will keep nice aud white. Butter may be kept solid in warm weather if put in a bowl that is covered with a plate and set in a pan of cold water. Then fold a towel a'id lay across the plate with the corners hanging down into tho water, and put the pau in a cool, if possible, adrafty place, and the evaporation will keep the butter firm. To keep flies from roosting on the screen door, ready to come in when it is opened, take a piece of an old window shade, or else a folded piece ot mamlla paper as long as the door is wide and about half a yard wide, and cut into narrow strips to within two inch es ot the top, then tack across the top of the door. The gentlest breeze, or the movement of the door, when opened, will keep the flies away. This is why his marriage was a failure: He did all the courting before mariage. He never talked his affairs over with his wife. He thought of bis wife only as a cheap housekeeper. He never dreamed that a wife deserved praise or compliments. He mar ried an ideal, aud was disappoint ed to tiud it had flaws. He paid no attention to his personal ap pearance after marriage. He treated his wife as he would not have dared to treat another woman. From June Farm Journal. 46 Stars Now In Fit.

LAWYERS You hear it said every day that the only place in the world to find 'ratitude is in the dictionary. If ve seek it the -e we ought to ihink more ot it, for the definition says it is a sense of appreciation of fa vors received accompanied with good-will toward the benefactor an emotion or sentiment of thankfulness the natural re sponse of the heart to kindnesses intended or received. The cynic's delinition of gratitude is "a lively sense of appreciation of favors to come," but while we admit this is smart, and like many smart sayings partly true, we must al so declare it unwholesome. Be thaukful for everything; it makes no difference how small the favor may be, its real power of happi ness to the giver, as well as to the recipient, depends upon the proper appreciation it calls forth. All of us are constantly receiv ing favors of one kind or another, gifts of worth, courtesies, sugges tious and the mutual acts and thoughts that make up our daily lives. If we accept these with out iutentiou of ample recogni tion or return we are guilty' of in justice. And thjre is the more direct appeal to our selflshuess, because, if wa are not grateful, j U7D '...

Philadelphia Telegraph. The Rustic Won. The city man was kilhns, time by wandering around the farm. Down by the mill bridge he sight ed an old man gazing intently in to tho water. "Looking for tiili, uncle?" ven tured the city man. "Nope!" replied the old man, without looking up. "What then?" "Poles '' "But, my dear man, I can't see any poles down there." "I can. Bet you my Barlow ag'in your watch chain.'' "I'll go you. Now, what kind of poles are down in that water? '' "Tadpoles ! Always heard cny folks war powerful green, Strang er."
