2 MRS, MERCY WOODWORTH, l! YEARS OLD. THE OMAHA SUNDAY Hale and llearly at Ninety-Three Mrs. Mercy Woodworth of Bow- doinham, Me., who is active and vigorous and was 93 years old on October 24th, 1909, says that she owes her strength and vigor to the Elixir of Life, Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. Her daughter, Mrs. C. E. Wood- worth, also testifies to the great good that it has done her mother. f a recent interview Mrs. Wood-| worth s “I was 93 years old Octo- ber 24th, 1909, and I can truthfully say that Duity’s Pure Malt Whiskey as| a tonic and stimulant for the aged is| unexcelled. It has done me more good than any other medicine, and I cannot say too much i praise of this. great medicine. I can heartily recommend it to. all old people who wish to retain their faculties ar,d remain strong and vigor- ous, No one except those who have tried it can know what Duffy's Pure Miyt| Whiskey will do to build up' and strengthen the system. As long as the good Lord will let me Tive I will sing the praises of this great medicinal whiskey." Mrs. C. E. Woodworth adds: “My dear old mother takes 3 teaspoonfuls of Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey twice a day, morning and night, in hot water. She had bronchitis last spring, and | truly belleve that Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey, taken with sugar, not one bit of water, saved her life, for it kept o ger stimulated and stren; thened, warmed her stomach and stopped her coughing.

It makes the old feel young. It is pre- seribed by doctors and is recognized as a family medicine everywhere, if in need of advice, writé Medical Department, Duffy Malt Whiskey Come- pany, Rochester, N. Y., stating your case fully, Our doctor will send you ad- vice free, together with a handsome illustrated medical booklet, containing rare rules for health, which you cannot afford to be without, and some of the many thousands of gratifying letters received from men and women in all walks of life, both old and young, who have been cured and benefited by the use of this great medicine and who continue to enjoy good health.

The -honesty of what we wear may not be of ‘such vital importance as the honesty of what we eat, but it is of enough importance to warrant legislation. 'Household economics is a con_'m\lcl}od solence, with many phases and stages and it'can mo more be acquired by an untaught bride from a cookbook than geometry can be learned by a novice from an arithmetic, Living i more complex than 1t was NgIf a century ago and it demands a more factle technique. Long ago the women ha plenty of time t. master the sclence of home making by hard expérience methods. Now life is too rich for that. It's com. plexities, among which lome making is still paramount, must be learned a8 one is growing up. After a girl has been gradu- ated from school or coliege. she has many ather things to do and cannot devote all her time as her grandmother did, to mas- tering the detalls of the kitchen and the other arts and sclences thet come under the head of household economics. It 1s this impossibility that has created the probiem of the modern home. Ignorance of Home-Malkiug. “A young woman enterifig a home of her own finds all her «# oabilities and capaci- tiés pointing her away from her home. She doesn’t know how to go about her home- miaking, Her husband has been carefully triiined in all the departments of his busi- news. But In the more vital work of home- making the young wite has perhaps had no tralning at all. Quite suddenly it has bécome the one subject most essent'al to her happiness and to the safety of her matrimonial venture. And one cannot get good household service unless one knows SHA at 81, up' Those dainty little gifts that one doesn’t see elséwhere. “.—Tlfl ml\'fitlfl"‘ fllll.l I‘I‘Ill what good household service is. {'Reluctance to acknowledge defects in our system of household economy consti- tutes a very great bar to success In over- doming them, We have heard much about the country’s salyation through the home, but I doubt it any very lafke percentage of American homes,” except in the rural districts, are without at least a strong ele- ment of aruficiality. “When the American serving mald en- ters a house the real home s very apt to fly out of, the window. ‘And why?

This disease has spread its virus through practically ali classes.” KANSAS FAM TO THE FRONT Three Members Win Prizes at Corn Exposition, Three members of a Kansas family have won prizes in the National Corn show competitions. About four years ago J. M. Gillman of Leavenworth, Kan., quit teaching the young idea how to shoot in the county schools and went out on the farm to wateh and heip the tender young corn shoot up through the Kansas loam. He found the change profitable. Shoot- ing ideas and budding brains are profitable for the student, not the teacher, but orn is -eorn. At the National Cdrn exposition Mr. Gill- man and his two sons, Paul and Myron, competitors in the junior class, have es- tablished ‘a family record with nine blus ribbans. Mr. Gillman took prizes for the best peck Of dlfalfa seed In the open to the world class, the best bale of uifalfa, four the tirst places on corn In the Nebraska Seed company’s special competition and another prize in the David Cole Creamery com- pany's competition. Paul bears back to the Suntlower the horior of having raised the best s ear in the world among the junior corn growers, and the best ten ears within 30 miles of Omaha. Myron, the youngesg son, took a prize for a high-grade pedk.of wheat in the Kansag competition.

Men of strongly opposed poli- | tics and others who although of the same | pflll(h‘fll party had found serfous reasons | for wide divergence were present at the dinner and listened, not only with philos- ophy, but even with glee to the comi exploitation of thelr quarrels. The distingulshed company learned in an authoritative way the truth about the dis- covery of the North pole through a selen- tifie commission which reported personally to the Gridiron club and undertook to ar- bitrate the differences between Peary and Cook, who, In this Instande, were repre- sented by the two initiates into.the club membership—Bdward L.

The pole was found to be as far-distant from land as President Taft found it from the Insurgent Wigwam. to Stand-Pat Igloo. Strange dlscoveries were made, Santa Claus was found laden with heavy pack. ages marked, “My Pollcles—trom T. R. to W. H.

Then the electric bulbs were dimmed and in the brilllancy of & calefum lgnt “Uncle Joe" Cannon was portrayed in a series of plastic poses on a pedestal as “The Iron Duke,” with the inevitable cigar, grown to mammoth proportions and tilted upward at the famillar sharp angle, while the quartet chanted a ditty to the tune of “Pony Hoy," the first verse of in the air sitting there r uK See the er, our own Uncle Joe; oar him| swear, see him tear ail his halr HPhen Insurgents defy him: | BYery man In the house is as still as a mouse While Cannon is present.

Scarcely had the guests turned -again to their entree when the dinner was in- terrupted by the nofsy entry of a dozen hard-faged old dames, leading meek and henpecked husbands, These turned out to be a delegation of aggressive suffragettes, demanding ““Votes for Women" In strident volces. Several noted men among the diners were called upon to declare thelr positions on this momentous question, to the great amusement of the company. Finally the president of the club decided ainst the women's claims, whereupon ‘they announced their purpose to particl- pate in the dinner and were only driven away through a threat to feed them after the British fashion, through the medium of 'a gigantic stomach pump.

What the general opinion was of the president himself was musically set out by the gridiron quartet in a song a verse of which ran, the tune being “I love my wife, but oh you kid:" Now Roosevelt once was president, Oh yes, he was; But Mr. Taft now runs the job, Oh yes he does.

Messages were dellvered to the representutives of press associations and leading newspapers complaining of the dearth of Washington news worthy of firs( vage headlines and asking why the presi- dent was not “glving congress fits,” as had been customary for the last seven years. There were also wild telegraphic demands for detalls of the Roosevelt con- €piracy, that could not be met. Partial List of Guests.
