WASH HANDS BEFORE EATING Ice Water, if taken at All, Should Be Drunk Before Meal—Relish Important In Promoting Gastric Juice, Hence Have Food Served In Appetizing Manner. Chicago.—Health Commissioner Robertson gave out a list of ten health maxims to be followed by members of his dict squad and the public. The maxims are: "First.—Come to meals with clean hands." "Second.—Eat your meals with good cheer. Worry and grief retard the digestive processes. "Third.—Avoid extremes of temperature for eating. Do not take food and drink to cold or too hot. Ice water if taken at all, should be drunk before the meal. "Fourth.—Eat bread and raw vegetables at the beginning of the meal." Photo by American Press Association HEALTH COMMISSIONER ROBERTSON. These stimulate the flow of gastric juice. Fifth.-Chew your food thoroughly. Your stomach has no teeth. Do not wash down unmasticated food with coffee, tea or other drinks. Sixth.-Do not eat to excess. Normally your appetite should be an index of your wants. Seventh.-Appetite and relish are important factors in promoting the flow of gastric juice, hence have the food prepared and served in an appetizing manner. Eighth.-Do not eat meat, eggs and other meats. Ninth.-If you have a feeling of distress orfulness after a meal your diet or manner of eating needs regulating. If you suffer from belching or regurgitation you should consult a physician for advice. Tenth.-Do not engage in excessive physical or mental exertion immediately after a full meal. FILM OF SUBMARINE SINKING Operator on Bridge of Boat Gets Picture of Entire Procedures. Paris—How six members of the crew of the steamer San Bernardo, bound from Philadelphia, saw moving pictures taken on board of a large German submarine just before their ship was sunk by the underwater boat is related one of the crew, probably the French, to the German officer when he guarded the vessel noticed a man wearing an overcoat. "Who is this gentleman?" the German asked. "The supercargo, a French citizen, representing the owners," replied the captain of the San Bernardo. "Let him come aboard the submarine with the five engineers," said the German. "I shall keep them as hostages." The six men were kept in conversation on board the submarine by the boat's commander; while bombs were fired on the bridge of San Bernardo. When the steamer blew up there was a moving picture operator on the bridge of the submarine, who took a picture of the entire proceedings. Dog Saves His Mistress. Norwalk, Ore.—A pet colle dog probably saved Mrs. Philip Lorres from serious injury the other day when an enraged dehorned cow owned by Mrs. Charles Antrim, a neighbor, charged her down and bitten her fiercely on the ground. The dog arrived on the scene and, springing at the enraged fish, fastened his teeth in the tender flesh of her nose, at the same time pulling her away from the prostrate woman. The cow gave ground before the buck, and Mrs. Lorres was able to regain her feet and reach a place of safety. FOUND IMAGE IN CAVE. Crude Stone Idol Probably Antedates Indian Mound Builders. Madisonville, Ky.-E. L. Littlepeace of the Morton Gap country brought to this place recently a stone image that is a curiosity and probably of historic value. Mr. Littlepeace found it at the edge of a cave on a high elevation in North Christian county, Ky., while investigating some prospective land belonging to him. The cave is located in a wild and broken section of land uncultivated and but thinly inhabited. The image is rudely carved out of a tough, ferrous sandstone. It is about six inches in height and is well preserved, except for a slight injury on one side of its head and slight weathering. The figure is in a sitting position, with its legs dobbled under its body and arms extended in front, with hands resting on its knees. The image is evidently a relic of an idol worshiping people and antedates any old Indian relic found in various Indian mounds in western Kentucky. WIDOW SAVES TREES Turna Commissioners From Those Planted by Her Husband. St. Cloud, Mich.—"Woodman, spare that tree; touch not a single bough." Thus quoted Mrs. Mary Spice, widow, as she pleaded for the preservation of trees planted by her husband, long dead. It, was three years ago that Mrs. Spice started her battle with city officials over the maintenance of this arborian inheritance. She was called upon to enter another skiminish the other day when sidewalk bids were opened, in when provision was to have been made the removal of the arborian. Mrs. Spice's "pets" fringes a lot on which her modest little home is built. "Wait until I am gone and you may remove them," she told the city commissioners, who took her words to heart. There sidewalk bids were opened when were proposed contracts on other jobs, but on the Widow Spice's property—not a word. EIGHTY. WANTS HEART BALM Woman is Deaf, Has Lost Right Eye and is a Little Lame. Utica, N. Y.-Mrs. Almira Kingsbury is just a little on the right side of eighty years old. She is rather deaf. She has lost her right eye and her left thumb. Besides she is a little lame. But she took the stand to testify that Robert Roberts of Trenton, seventy-six years old and a farmer, had been so smitten with her charms at first sight that he urged her to marry him. Then she said he broke troth and she sued for breach of promise. They met at an employment agency where he sought a homeowner. Judge Hazard told Mrs. Kingsbury's attorney, "I think your client is clearly entitled to about 6 cents." However, the case was held open for more evidence. MUSKRATS CUT MEAT PRICE. Serve as Substitute In Many Families of Moderate Means In New Jersey. Alloway, N. J.-Muskratts are cutting the high cost of living in this region. With the price of meats hitting the high spots, there is an unprecedented demand for their carcasses, commonly known as "water rabbits." Trappers, who this season are securing on an average of nearly $1 each for muskrat pelts, are adding considerable extra revenue to their usual season's profits by selling the meat to villagers that an average of 3,000 muskratts are disposed of every week in Salem alone, where they serve as a substitute for meat in many families of moderate means. 30TTL DRIFTS 6.600 MILES Determines Currents Off South American Coast. Wash. Wash. - After drifting 6,600 miles in the south Pacific a bottle containing a position report from the demeanish Eureka of Seattle thrown over the water by Captain J. E. Guptill, the messer's master, Feb. 9, 1915, was found March 1, 1916, on the beach at Tamausa, Yawawa group, Fiji islands. There has been a difference of opinion among mariners as to the set of the current off the coast of South America, and the message is of great value, as it determines the direction of the flow of ocean water in that part of the world. HOGS CLIMB ORANGE TREES. Fruit Diet Please the Swine Best, but Not the Orchardist. Riverside, Cal.-W. H. Bacchus has chased his hogs on his orange grove. He's tired of having them climbing in the orange trees. After some oranges were blown from the trees by the wind the hogs passed up the usual pasture and, standing on their bind feet, ate all the golden balls they could reach. Then some of them began to climb trees. "Nix on this orange fed pork," said Bacchus as he arranged for a new pasture. Minister Travels by Submarines. Paris—General Hubert Lyautey, the minister of war in the new French abutten, arrived in Paris after a voyage full of incidents from Morocco, where he was French resident general. The new war minister crossed from Pangier to Gibraltar in a submarine, and his train was delayed by the snow in Spain, thus obliging him to decline King Alfonso's invitation to dinner. THE APPEAL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Body of William King Described as Left Handed Both Inside and Out. St. Louis.—The body of William King, which has been preserved for twenty months, is described by an anatomist as "left handed, both inside and out," according to a statement made public at the City hospital. As a result, King, who was thirty years old, was at the hospital for treatment. He said he was bored and had lived most of his life in Wisconsin. He was suffering from typhoid fever. When asked who should be notified in case of his death King said: "Don't worry about that. Just cut me up and examine my body. There's something wrong with the feces." He died a few days later. When surgeons made an examination of the body they found one of the most abnormal cases in the history of surgery. The heart was on the right side, the liver on the left; the appendix was on the left side and the spleen on the left. The stomach was turned around completely, the left lung were three lobes; the right lung had but two. The left kidney was larger and lower than the right one. Phonograph at High Bridge, N. Y. Heard All Over House at Morristown, N. J. New York.—What was declared to be the world's first wireless dance was held at 29 Morris avenue, Morristown, N. J., the home of Theodore E. Gaty, vice president of the Fidelity and Casualty Insurance company of this city. His two sons—John P. and Theodore E. Gat Jr., the latter home from Corell and the former holiday, holds up a dance and throughout the evening—the seven or eight couples who had been invited danced to music that was played on a phonograph in High Bridge, at the northern end of Manhattan, about forty miles away from Morristown by air line. Mr. Gaty and his sons are enthusiastic amateurs in the science of radio telemetry in photography, A friend, P. F. Godley of Monterey, a geezer, made use of the Lee de Forest audition detector and the sound amplifier invented by Dr. Edwin H. Armstrong of Columbia, the inventions which made transcontinental telephony possible, as well as a wireless telephone message to Honolulu. Mr. Godley, who is only twenty-seven years old, adapted the two devices to amateur radio and a phonograph horn in the Gaty home. The phonograph that furnished the dance music was played in the High Bridge plant of the De Forest Radio Telephone and Telegraph company, and the musical sound waves were received by the amateur receiver over Mr. Gaty's house. When the faint sounds, which come from the receiver, could scarcely be detected, the sound amplifiers combined sound amplifiers and then through the megaphone they could be heard all over the house. FROM MISSOURI TO PANAMA. Bottle Found After Being Six Months Afloat. Hartville, Mo.-A list of names which a party of Springfield normal school students sealed in a soda pop bottle which was thrown into the James river at Turner, Mo. last June has been re- ceived by the University of Omaha Oapal Pope of this place, one of the young women whose names were on the list. The letter was written by a member of the crew of the United States ship Raleigh, which reached San Francisco recently after being stationed off the Panama. The writer said he found the bottle on the beach while in Panama. WILL AID WEARY HORSES. School Children Plan Farm For Worn-out Dobbins. Youngtown, O.-Members of the Junior Humane society here have contributed the nucleus of a fund which they will raise to rent or buy a rest farm for worked out horses. It is planned to have the farm for use on the school children have pledged support to the fund getting project, and senior humane workers expect their little associates will succeed in their plans. BANK INSURES ASSETS FOR TWENTY-FOUR HOURS New York.—A $00,000,000 protective insurance policy for twenty-four hours was purchased by the Chatham and Phoenix National bank to cover the transfer of its assets from 192 Broadway to the new offices of the bank in the Singer building, a distance of about a block and a half. About $16,000,000 in cash was carried to the new quarters in an armored car, with armed guards at the front and rear, and there were guards stationed every fifty feet between the two buildings. FAMILY REUNITED. Children Long Separated by the Civil War Meet. SEARCH BEGUN BY BROTHER Bushwhackers Raided Home, Killed Parents and Drove Children Into Woods—Adopted In Different Homes, Survives Drifted Apart —Meeting Between Sisters and Brother Pathetic. Clarinda, Ia.—A tragedy of the civil war which resulted in the separation of three children of a Missouri family was recalled recently by the reunion of the three children who had been separated during the long period, too young at the time to maintain in a correspondence, and it was only after much effort and correspondence that the members of the family were enabled to meet and hold a reunion after so long a separation. Living near Laclede, Mo., was a family named Deer. Bushwhackers raided their home, killed the parents and the children into the woods, where they were night in terror. The children were Marian Deer, eight years old; Marian Deer, six years old; and a brother two years old. Upon the girl of eight years devolved the task of keeping the others with her and to vainly try to console them. Speaking of the terrifying incidents of the night, Mary, now Mrs. Mary Rahn of this town, told how the boy cried to be taken to his mother. In the morning the children made their way to Laclede, where they were found nearly dead from exposure and fright and crying bitterly. A man who could run across the children was so filled with pity that he took them in charge, fed them, and for them several days until he had been in locating all three in homes, into which they were finally adopted. Thus torn apart, the children did not again hear from each other. Mary spent her entire girlhood as a nurse girl in a family where there were several children, and from them she managed to learn to read and write. She was taken to Illinois, where she married. Adde Deer was taken with the brother to Crete, Neb., where the girl married the boy goybe to manhood and to manhood. Adde married and lost her husband. She was married a second time to a Mr. Downing, owner of a large ranch near Glenwood Springs, Colo. Some time ago the brother began a search for his sisters. It was an apparently hopeless task, but by perseverance, much correspondence and long range inquiry he managed to find them, and all held a reunion at the home of Mrs. Downing in Colorado. Mrs. Rahn soon after her marriage made her a county. She is now a widow, also a mother. The meeting between the sisters and brother was pathetic despite the fact that a separation of over fifty years had obviously tended to break down the feeling of family relationship. WAR AFFECTS WATER TOO. No Soda Ash to Soften City's Drinking Supply. Columbus, O.-Hard water will be the best the filtration plant can furnish consumers the rest of the winter unless something is done to increase the available supply of soda ash, one of the chief chemicals used in the softening process. Superintendent O'Shaughnessy of the city has said ash could not be had at any price owing to inability of railroads to furnish adequate transportation facilities; also the Barberton plants, where the city's supply of soda ash is obtained, have been handicapped during the last few weeks because of a shortage of fuel. No soda ash has been used at the filtration plant for several days. Since the war began soda ash has advanced $44 a ton. Water can be softened to a certain degree by lime, but soda ash must be added to get the desired softness. WAR ON CATS SAVES GAME Good Hunting In New Jersey Since Feline Slaughter Started Trenton, N. J.-A report of the New Jersey fish and game commission recently issued states that the wholesale extermination of cats in Burlington county during the 1915 epidemic of foot and mouth disease has resulted in sportsmen finding Burlington among the best hunting grounds in the state. Game animals and birds are more pleniful in the county than for years, and their population is repeatedly bagged their legal limit of 100 cats also qualls, pheasants and squirrels. It is held that the chief factor in the increase in game animals and birds as well as song birds in that county was the warfare on cats by both hunters and farmers. Sportsmen found hundreds of prowling homeless cats in the woods and fields preying upon native birds and animals and killed them. **Newspaper on Fig Leaves.** Santa Cruz, Cal.-Because of the high cost of paper and the failure of subscribers to pay up, Luther McQueton, publisher of the Mountain Echo, boulder creek, printed an edition of Boulder Creek, a magazine. The edition consists of five dried leaves united together with a twig and printed on both sides and contains news items, classified and legal advertising and an editorial in which McQueton sets forth his reasons for "returning to first principles for print paper." TEACHING INDIANS IS THIS WOMAN'S HOBBY Mrs. Molinex Declares Red Man Can Be Led, but Will Not Be Driven. Salt Lake City.—To have mothered one or possibly two thin lives through the strenuous days of early infancy is a task that most women consider plenty, but Mrs. Elizabeth Molineau, until recently a teacher in the United States Indian service, has the distinction of having mothered a whole tribe of Plute Indians, and claims the satisfaction of hiring raised them, old and young, in the same village, where they consider cleanliness next to godliness and, one and all, are heartily in favor of both. Mrs. Molineau recently resigned her post as teacher on the Shiwwits reservation in southern Utah and is in Salt Lake resting preparatory to going to Ketchikan, Alaska, to take charge of the Episcopal church's mission school there. She is a guest at the home of the Right Rev. Paul Jones, eight years of service with the Indian department has been intimately associated with the trials and tribulations that beset poor Lo on his native heath. Mrs Molineau is an ardent churchwoman and attributes her success in dealing with Indians to the fact that by blending religious teachings with distrust of her friend she has dismissed charges and has always been regarded by them more in the light of a friend than a teacher. She declared the Indian mind to be susceptible to teaching if properly approached, but adds that he can be led but will not be driven. CHASING A COYOTE IN AUTO EXCITING SPORT Hound, Sighting Game, Leaps Over Mud Shield and Lands Twenty Feet Ahead of Car. Larned, Kan—An exciting coyote chase in automobiles took place near Hanston. The party consisted of Bill Hann, John Hann, Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Seaman and William Warring. They went in two cars and took three greyhounds in each car. They kept cars that auto polis is mild compared with the way those two cars chased across the prairie, ravines and bluffs after coyotes. He said that his speedometer registered forty miles one time when he dared to glance at it, and he was afraid to look again. They were going along between twenty and thirty miles an hour at the time they started up the first coyote, and when the biggest hound in Mr. Warring's car sighted the wolf it leaped and landed running twenty feet ahead of the car. The coyote was a big fellow, but the hounds finally brought him down, the big bounch throwing him, while the others pinned him down. While chasing the first coyote the other auto nearly ran over another one, which leaped up almost from under the wheels of the car. The men shot at it several times, wounding it, but because of the speed of the bounding car could have a hole and was fished out with a wire, Messrs. Hann and Seaman have killed many coyotes. WIRELESS PLANT IN BED. Annapolis Middle Receives Messages Through Springs. Annapolis, Md.—That a series of bedsprings connected by wires makes a satisfactory condenser for a wireless station has been proved by Mildshipman J. B. Dow of the fourth class at the Naval academy. Dow has connected the springs of his room and his wrist roommates beds and attached them to a receiver. He has been able to pick up messages sent from and to the Arlington station. He has found out that it is not necessary to open the windows of his room in Bancroft hall or even to remove the bedding. It is stated that Dow's use of the bedsprings to receive radio messages may be of considerable practical value. Waits Fifty Years For Father's Gift. Pittsburgh, Pa.—It cost fifty years of wages and his wrist against his stepmother, but John W. Baker of New Bloomfield recently received $25, turned over to his mother by his father in 1867. It was to be his on his father's death, but Mrs. Rebecca T. Baker, stepmother and administratrix, had withheld payment. GIRL SUES DRUGGIST FOR LOSS OF HER HAIR New York—The efficacy of pe-roxide as a hair bleach was brought into question when Katie Gottdank, sixteen years old, asked $5,000 damages from Julius Kalish, incorporated drug manufacturer, herself into a blonde she lost part of her hair, and what she had left became brick red. She exhibited a shoe box full of hair. Miss Gottdank's grandfather, Carl Weishar, a barber, was not allowed to qualify as an expert. Defective Page CHINA FINDS IT HARD TO DISBAND ITS ARMY Soldiers Love Their Job, and If Not Paid They Loot. Peking—China's toughest problem now is how to disband the army raised during the revolution. The government, hard pressed for money, will have to raise at least $30,000,000 to pay off the $80,000 men under aruns, and unpaid soldiers are always a menace in China. Coolies regard military service as a very desirable occupation. Once enlisted it is difficult to persuade them to retire. They riot and become extremely troublesome if an attempt be made to disband them without liberal payment. The commanding officers are frequently as mercenary as the soldiers. When the government fails to give its soldiers what they regard as adequate pay the troops frequently become bandits and loot. Each province has its own military governor and a distinct military organization, presumably under control of the Peking authorities, but actually independent in most cases. Consequently the Peking government is forced to deal with diplomatic with the military organizations in the provinces, particularly in the remote provinces. HARVARD MAN FOILS SUN WITH INVENTION Presses a Button In Bed and the Window Shade Goes Down as if by Magic. Cambridge, Mass. – Every morning at 7 o'clock Henry R. Guild of Boston, a Harvard senior, rolls over in bed. Seven o'clock is too early for a senior to get up, so Mr. Guild presses a button and the shade at the distant end of a chamber rolls down as if by magic. No rising sun is going to make him leave his bed unreasonably. Some morning he may miss a four alarm fire by pressing the button, but he's willing to take the chance, he asserts. Getting up at 7 a. m. is a high crime at Harvard, the same as admitting Yale has a good football team this year. Henry Guild framed up a motor, attached to the curtain string and laid wires to his bedside. When the sun throws its rays into his bedroom every morning, weather permitting, he presses a button and the curtain fops faster than in a vaudeville theater. Mr. Guild's next invention probably will be a trap door to throw tiresome professors into the cellar by means of that, any student can press. Life's attention inconveniences aren't going to bother him while electricity can do the work. FIREMAN SAVES BABY. Climbed on Pilot of Locomotive, Lifted Infant From Track. La Crose, Wis.-Coon valley residents are talking of applying for a Carnegie medal for Fireman Peter Hensgen of the La Crose and Southeastern. He was in a freight engine car and a child in the distance on the track. It was down grade and the brakes were slow to grip. Hensgen climbed out along the footboard to the pilot, grasped a rod and leaned down. He grabbed the sleeping child with his free hand and lifted her from the track. The child was the little daughter of She and Mrs. Elmer Jacobson. She and lay down tired between the rails and lay down to sleep. NEW DIMES IN CIRCULATION $180,000 Worth of Coin Distributed by the Philadelphia Mint. Philadelphia. — The new ten cent pieces which have been coined in large quantities at the Philadelphia mint were recently put into circulation for the first time, and which being distributed to banks and trust companies. They were introduced simultaneously in the western states from the Denver mint. The obverse side of the new dime shows a head of Liberty in profile, while the reverse side shows a bundle of rods in the center and the protruding ends of unity. Surrounding the central design is an olive wreath, denoting peace. The new coins are expected to be in general circulation within a few days. Child Escapes Covote. Bend, Ore.—Attracted to the dooryard by an unusual noise being made by her flock of turkeys, Mrs. Thomas Merchant, living east of Bend, found a coyote running toward her little girl, who was playing in the yard. The animal was frothing at the mouth and is believed to have been rabid. Mrs. Merchant had just time to snatch her daughter up and return to the house before the coyote reached the spot where the little girl was at play. Ants Kill Bees. Oakland, Cal.—Dr. J. H. Callen, who had two bives of bees, much alive, on his Fruitvale avenue property, is now occupied in cleaning out two bives of dead bees, visiting of an unsuccessful Verdun defense against a bovore of rauding ants. The evidence shows that the ants attacked in solid mass formation, carrying the bees' first, second and third line of trenches and then attacking the entrances to the bives. $2.40 PER YEAR LONDON'S MALADY Writer Suffered From Strange Illness In Australia. Novelist Bravely Fought Mysterious Sickness which Could Not Be Diagnosed by Australian Specialists. Finally Decided He Had Born Torn to Pieces by Ultra Violet Rays. Sydney, Australia.—The recent death of Jack London, the California novelist, recalls the extraordinary physical reasons for his stay of about five years in Australia. In London he was a blond, and his sojourn, from what he himself subsequently wrote in "The Cruise of the Snark" and the alcoholic memoir "John Barleycorn" and those in the commonwealth who be intimate with him now remembrance of the cockleobat Snark, in which he and his wife had been cruising about the Pacific, at one of the islands and camp THE WILD WEST with Mrs. London, to Sydney in November, 1908, by steamer. He said of his Australian sojourn: "I went to Australia to go into a hospital, where I spent five weeks. I spent five months miserably sick in hotels. The mysterious malady that afflicted my hands was too much for the Austrian doctor, whom I had been unmown in the literature of medicine. No one like it had ever been reported. It extended from my hands to my feet so that at times I was as helpless as a child. On occasion my hands were twice their natural size, with seven dead and dying skins peeling off at the same time. There were times when my toenails in twenty-four hours grew as thick as they were long. After filing them with an antiseptic twenty-four hours they were as thick. The Australian specialists agreed that the malady was nonparasitic and therefore it must be nervous." The ailment did not mend, and the novelist and his wife had to abandon the cruise in the Snark. Yet when London had returned to California, where his health had invariably been excellent, his recovery was complete, and strangely enough the California climate is very like that of Australia. Later on London ran across the book written by Colonel Charles E. Woodruff, a State surgeon for troops, entitled "Effects of Tropical Light on White Men," and what had hadded the Australian specialists was no longer inexplicable. London wrote to Colonel Woodruff describing his illness in Australia, and the latter, whose researches in tropical medicine, especially in the Philippines, have given him a high repute in his profession, replied that he had been similarly afflicted in the Philippines. Besides him, Colonel Woodruff wrote to the novelist, no fewer than sixteen other United States army surgeons were utterly at a loss to account for the colonel's malady. But in Colonel Woodruff solved the riddle. London says: "I had a strong predisposition toward tissue destructiveness by tropical light. I had been torn in pieces by ultra violet rays." PUTS UP EGGS AS BAIL BOND What's More, Police Accept Them From Reckless Driver. Hutchinson, Kän.-When J. J. Pankratz, a farmer, arrested on a charge of reckless driving, learned the amount of his bond he was unable to put up the cash and could think of no one whom to call. He said he had with him no personal property of value, but offered to put up a case of eggs for his appearance in police court. The bond was accepted. Gas Kills Dogs. St. Paul. - Guillaume and Pietro, the dog pets of Joseph Demalo, were found dead from gas fumes in their master's home. They died by their own hands. The room in which they lay was filled with gas. Demalo denies they committed suicide. He says they were in the store and in attempting to open the door of the oven turned on the gas. po tT | fff THE APPEAL ‘AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER IssuD WEEKLY 4. @ ADAMS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER 8T.

According to the annual report of Armour & Co., meat dealers of Chi cago, made public last week, the ne earnings were $20,100,000 of 20 pet cent on capital stock and 147 per cent on investment. ‘The report alsc says the year was the most. prosper ous in the history of the company. As this company is only one of many such companies, who, it is reasonable to presume made the same proportional gains, does it not follow that the. out. Fageously high prices that have been and now are being charged for meats, are thus shown to be little short of wholesale robbery. When people are compelled to pay, in many instances, three times as much as they formerly paid for the same meats, does this not show conclusively that such con- cerns as Armour & Co. are largely Fesponsible for the high cost of liv- ing that is driving people to suicide. There should be some plan by which such concerns should be prevented from lining thelr coffers by imposing thelr unfair and uncalled tor prices on the public, for the necessaries of life, ‘THE HYPOCRITICAL TRIBUNE.

Governor Harding reappointed Douglass Miller as his messenger. Those selected by the legislature are: Assistant postmistress, Mrs. Fred H. Gresham of Cedar Rapids; chief junior of the senate, Jeff Logan of Des Moines. Other men in senate cloak room are Homer Jones of Keokau, Wm. Thompson of Ottumwa, Fred Wright Davenport. Chief junior of house, Wm. McOliver. Others selected were Henry McOliver of Des Moines, J. H. Miller of Crawford of Des Moines, J. H. Miller of Council Bluffs, B. H. Jones of Buxton, Harry B. Burnaugh of Mt. Pleasant. Assistant matron, Mrs. Wm. Jones of Des Moines—Iowa Bystander. The attention of the members of the Minnesota Legislature is called to the above to show that in the distribution of their favors to the people who may lay claim to having kept Minnesota in the Republican column, they are far behind the solons of our neighboring state.—(Ed.) Opposition of the Board of Governors of the Cincinnati Advertisers' Club to the Randall advertising bill pending in Congress is timely and sensible. This measure, if enacted into law, is to withhold from the sales collection or printed matter advertising intoxicating liquors for sale. Enactment of this bill into law will establish a precedent; which quickly and easily may lead to governmental censorship of all printed matter. If it becomes unlawful to publish advertising relating to the sale of intoxicating goods, it will be but a step to prohibit the marketing of tobacco, of underwear, of stockings or of other commodity in which a large portion of the public is interested. It would almost appear that a law so drastic in its operation would be in contravention of the constitutional guarantees to the press. Not because the bill in question relates to adverging of alcohol, but for the broader reasoning of Congress personal rights, members of Congress should study the measure seriously before committing themselves to its support. —Cincinnati Enquirer.

Capehart, 109 E. 25th street, Minneapolis, has sent to THE PEALEAL office a copy of "The Wichita Kansan," a little four-column folio paper, that made its debut in Wichita, Kans., Dec. 30, 1916. Miss Maude Mason, a sister of Mrs. Capehart is its founder and chairman and stimulates the only paper in the world founded and edited by a young colored woman. Miss Mason was reared and educated in the state of Kansas, was formerly a teacher in Parsons, Kans, going from there to Kansas City, Mo., where she was employed in the Art Department, which she left until last June. She was associate editor of the Hutchinson Blade until a few weeks ago when she gave up that work to establish The Wichita Kansas. Miss Mason attended the meeting of the National Educational Association in 1914 and was the guest of her sister, who made many visits to the Wichita Cities who heartily congratulate her and wish her success in her new undertaking. J. HAZEL DONALDSON. The Coming Young Poet of the Twin Cities. Mr. J. Hazel Donaldson, the poet, who has resided for some time in our sister city, has recently taken up his abode in St. Paul, and Minneapolis' loss is our gain. Mr. Donaldson has done some very creditable work in his line, and as a specimen we take great pleasure in publishing the following, dedicated to the Minneapolis correspondent of THE APPEAL: BIRTHDAY GREETINGS Youthful maid:—thy joys are plenty. May thy years be many more. Thou art now, just four and twenty. Thy very soul is young and pure. Golden years hath made the beautiful. To stand the test among all creeds. Thy Womanly thoughts doth make thee dutiful. Thy noble works shall bring great deeds. The smiles of beauty upon thy face, Are true to life in tender youth, A noble, stern and higher place May'st thou claim, in love and truth. Onward then! in life's vocation. Behold thy goal in after years Unfurti thy banner to every nation Hurrah! alas thou hath brought cheers. May thy happiness come through love Like the nightly fall of dew, With Heaven's blessings from above. I greet the thus, most fond and true. —J. Hazel Donaldson.
