IHESE ARE IRE TAFT BILLS
Senate in a Mood to Send Through
the Postal Bank Bill at an
Early Day.
Washington. — The announcement
from the White House that President
Taft had by his own motion cut down
to four the number of administration
measures he would demand at the
present session of congress is received
by republican leaders with unmixed
feelings of relief. The administration
program was so formidable that mem
! hers warmly supporting the Taft poli
| vies hardly knew where to begin.
| A schedule, including only the bills
i to amend the interstate commerce
: laws, provide for the regulation of the
' issuance of injunctions, start Arizona
and New Mexico on the road to state
I hood and validate the withdrawals of
public lands for conservation pur
poses, is regarded as quite possible of
attainment. Most of these measures,
; it is believed, can be put through the
i senate while the house is still wrest
; ling with appropriation bills.
When it was reported at the capitol, j
that the president would be satisfied j
I with the enactment of the four meas
ures named, steps were taken to
, bring all of these matters out of com
mittees at the earliest possible date.
The postal sav5ngs bank bill already
: is before the senate and an agree-1
ment between the upporters of con- j
i dieting amendments is assured. It is
j regarded as practically certain that
| the bill can be passed during this
week.
Hearings have been called by the
-enate committee on interstate com
merce on the bill to create a com
merce court and strengthen the exisi.- !
: ing laws for the regulation of common
arrier corporations. The committee
»ill meet and an effort be made to I
report the bill at once. There is some
prospect that this may be done.
Although the senate could not be !
; ready to take up the railroad bill un
til late in the week, it is being ar
gued by members of the committee
that the bill should be reported a few
days to study its provisions before ;
it is put on its passage. As soon as
the postal savings bank bill is out of
'he way, the railroad bill will be made
the order of business and probably
will be held before the senate cor.- ;
| stantly until passed, except for the
limited time that must be given to
the consideration of appropriation
bills.
No decision has been reached in
. the house committee on interstate
commerce on the proposition to eltmi- ,
aate from the administration bill the
provision for the creation of a court
: of commerce. Even if this is done.
; it is practically certain that the court
| feature will be retained by the senate
, and the question of establishing a
new tribunal to try cases appealed
from decisions of the Interstate Com
j inerce commission would thus be
■ thrown into conference.
Taft Will Visit Hughes.
Albany, N. Y.—Governor Hughes :
has been advised that President Taft j
has decided definitely to visit Albany ;
on March 19. He will attend a din
ner at the University club in the even
ing and will be the guest of the gover
nor at the executive mansion during
his stay.
Bills Sure of Passage.
Washington. — Four administration
measures are assured of passage at
this session of congress. President
Taft told callers that ne felt certain
the amendments to the interstate com
merce act, the postal savings bank
bill, the anti-injunction propositions
and the statehood bill will go through.
Indian Bill in the House.
Washington.—The Indian appropria
] tion bill occupied the attention of
the house during six hours Saturday.
; Most of the debate was upon an
I amendment for the abolition of In
: ilian warehouses in New York, Chi
cago. St. I-ouis, Omaha and San Fran
cisco. No definite action was taken.
Strikers Burn Street Cars.
Philadelphia, Pa.—Rioting in ever}’
section of this city followed the at
tempt of the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit company to operate its lines here
Sunday. Passengers and crews were
driven from the cars by infuriated
mobs of strike sympathizers and in
! nearly a score of instances the aban
i doned cars were burned or otherwise
destroyed. At nightfall every car was
I withdrawn from service.
Tillman Will Talk Again.
Washington—Favorable indications
| showed themselves Sunday In the
rendition of Senator Tillman. The
initial symptoms which caused his
partial paralysis and loss of speech
have abated and improvement has
commenced, according to a bulletin I
issued late in the afternoon by the
three attending physicians. Sunday
he recognized and called by name one
of the physicians, a man whom he
had seen but once before. The doc
tors consider this return of speech
most favorable.
Fight Naming of Bugher.
Washington.—Many New York re
publicans are up in arms against the
reported intention of President Taft
to appoint Frederick H. Bugher, pre
sent acting police commissioner of
New York City and a democrat to the
office of surveyor of the port of New
York to succeed James S. Clarkson,
whose term soon expires. It is un
derstood Senator Root has been try
ing to persuade the president to place
Mr. Bugher, who is a nephew of John
R. McLean, and Admiral Dewey’s wife,
in the office of surveyor.
How often do you eat this food?
A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection of
the foods you eat
A good many people were surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list of foods recommended; but if the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
As a matter of fact Creat Britain
and Europe come to us for tremendous
quantities of Quaker Oats because it
represents to them perfect food, being
the richest in flavor and best in clean
liness and purity, of all oatmeals.
Americans should eat more Quaker
Oats; the results would soon show
themselves in improved conditions of
health and strength. 55
Helping the Minister.
A Scotch preacher had in his con
gregation an old woman who was
deaf. In order to hear the sermon
each Sunday, this old lady would seat
herself at the foot of the pulpit stairs.
One day the sermon was about Jonah,
and the preacher became very rhetor
ical.
“And when the sailors threw Jonah
overboard." he said, "a big fish swal- ■
lowed him up. Was it a shark that j
got 'im? Nay, ray brethren, it was j
ne’er a shark. Was it a swordfish i
that eat him? Nay—"
“It was a whale,” whispered the old
lady excitedly.
“Hush, Biddie,” said the preacher. ‘
indignantly. “Would ye tak’ th’ word
of God out o' yer ane meenister’s j
mouth?”—Success Magazine.
Some Luxuries Needed.
Those stern economists who are
pointing out that the people of small
means ought to abandon "luxuries.”
forget that even such people have a
moral right to something beyond the
bare necessities of life. The rapid
increase in prices does not mean to
them cutting out more extravagances,
but forgetting the modest recreations
which have brightened for them the j
dull round of daily labor. It would j
be a hard world indeed where one
could obtain just enough to keep body '
and soul together, and no more.—,

THE STORY OF THE PEANUT
SHELLS,
As everyone knows, C. W. Post of
Battle Creek, Michigan, is not only a
maker of breakfast foods, but he is a
strong individual who believes that the I
trades-unions are a menace to the lib- I
erty of the country.
Believing this, and being a “natural
born" scrapper for the right, as he j
sees it, Post, for several years past, j
has been engaged in a ceaseless war- 1
fare against "The Labor Trust,” as he
likes to call it.
Xot being able to secure free and j
untrammeled expression of his opin
ions on this subject through the regular
reading pages of the newspapers he
has bought advertising space for this
purpose, just as he is accustomed to
for the telling of his Postum “story,”
and he has thus spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars in denouncing
trades-unionism.
As a result of Post’s activities the
people now know a whole lot about
these organizations: how they are
honeycombed with graft, how they ob
struct the development of legitimate
business, curtail labor's output, hold
up manufacturers, graft upon their own
membership, and rob the public. Natu
rally Post is hated by the trades
unionists, and intensely.
He employs no union labor, so they
can not call out his men. and he defies
their efforts at boycotting his products.
The latest means of “getting” Post is
the widespread publication of the story
that a car which was recently wrecked
in transmission was found to be loaded
with empty peanut shells, which were
being shipped from the south to Post's
establishment at Battle Creek.
This canard probably originated with
President John Fitzgerald of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor, who, it is
said, stated it publicly, as truth.
Post comes back and gives Fitz
gerald the lie direct He denounces
Fitzgerald's statement as a deliberate
falsehood, an underhanded and coward
ly attempt to injure his business, hav- ;
ing not the slightest basis in fact. As !
such an effort it must be regarded. It
Is significant that this statement about i
"the peanut shells” is being given wide !
newspaper publicity. In the “patent j
inside” of an eastern country paper I
find it, and the inference naturally is \
that labor-unionites are insidiously
spreading this lie.
An institution (or a man) which
will resort to moral intimidation and [
to physical force, that will destroy ma
chinery and burn buildings, that will
maim and kill if necessary to effect its
ends, naturally would not hesitate to
spread falsehood for the same pur
poses.
We admire Post While we have no j
enmity toward labor unions, so long as ;
they are conducted in an honest, “live
and-Iet-live” kind of a way, we have had
enough of the tarred end of the stick
to sympathize thoroughly with what he
is trying to do. He deserves support
A man like Post can not be killed, even
with lies. They are a boomerang, every
time. Again, we knotc, for hasn't this
weapon, every weapon that could be
thought of, been used (and not simply
by labor unions) to put us out of busi
ness, too?
I am going to drink tiro cups of
Postum every morning from this time
on, and put myself on a diet of Grape
N’uts. Bully for Post!—Editorial in
rhe American Journal of Clinical Med
icine.
EDISON IS PUZZLED
Wizard of Electricity Finds Radi
us's Secret Hard to Solve.
Says Tuel Is One of the Big Problems
of the Future—Talks of the Com
ing Air Machines and
Future Food.
New York.—Thomas A. Edison has
been talking about some u! tie won
ders and problems which make this
old world such an interesting place
in which to live. Radium, for in
stance, mores him to enthusiasm, the
greater perhaps because even Edison
himself hasn't got on confidential
terms with the substance.
He has some of it, though. Oh, yes.
Says he: “I have a spinthariscope,
which is a tiny bit of radium, of a size
that will go through the eye of a nee
dle, mounted over a piece of willemite.
It has been shooting off millions of
sparks for the six years that I have
had it, and I ‘expect it will be shoot
ing sparks the same way for thous
ands of years.
"While only small quantities of ra
dium have been isolated, it exists
everywhere in water, rock and soil.
The possibility of harnessing this |
force for our use is somewhat of a
speculation. A radium clock has been
made and it will go several hundred
years without winding.
“The problem of fuel is one of the |
big problems or the future. We may
find out to-morrow how to get all
the power from our fuel—we get only
15 to 20 per cent, now—and on the
other hand it may take a long time.
Water power is being rapidly devel
oped. Maybe the utilization of the
tides will follow. More practical are .
windmills connected with storage bat
teries to lay tin the energy of the
w inds in electrical form.
“Sun engines are promising con
trivances. In Arizona there is a 30
Thomas A. Edison.
horsn power sun engine run by focus
ing the rnvs on water and using a
steam turbine. In steaming volcanoes
there Is power whirl! might be con
verted into electricity and distributed.
“To get rid o' friction in our ma
chines is one of the future problems.
The only machine without friction that
we know Is the world, and it moves in
the resistless ether.
“The monorail does not appeal to
me. It was a fundamental mistake
that our railroads were built on a four
foot nine and one half Inch gauge In
stead of a six-foot gauge, which we !
will probably have to come to yet.
“The aeroplane of the future will, l
think, have to come to the helicopter
principle. A successful air machine
must be able to defy the winds. If
Wright’s aeroplane had one-twentieth
of its surface the wind would not af
fect it.
"The helicopter principle is the only
way to rise above the atmospheric con
ditions. By increasing the velocity of
propeller revolutions the size of the
machine can be diminished, and there
by we vanquish the hostility of the
wind. A helicopter could have foot :
size planer contributed on a 100 to
150 foot circle and controlled from
the center by wires.
“Chemical food has been worked out
pretty well, but it won’t be a commer- j
cial proposition. There are lots of j
synthetic things being made, but you !
can’t beat the farm as a laboratory
in that line.
“The clothes of the future will be so j
cheap that every young woman will be )
able to follow the fashions—and there i
will be pienty of fashions. Artificial \
silk that is superior to the natural ar- j
tide is nov made of wood pulp. I
think that the silkworm barbarism will
go in 50 years, just as the indigo of
India went before the synthetic pro
duction ot indigo in German la'bora
tories.
"In 200 years by the cheapening of
commodities the o dinary laborer will
live as well as a man does now with
$200,000 annua! income. Automatic ma
chinery and scientific agriculture will
bring about this result.
“Not individualism, but social labor
will dominate the future; you can’t
have individual machines and every !
man working by himself. Industry will j
constantly become more social and in
terdependent. There will be no man
ual labor in the factories of the future.
The men In them will be merely su
perintendents watching machinery."
Statesman’s Witty Reply.
M. Briand, the successor of M. Cle
menceau, is, like his predecessor, a
man of wit. Recently he was called
to task by an orator, who said: “A
wrong has been committed against the
aid servants of the state. Montesquieu
said with truth that the republic
should have virtue at its base.” “At
its base,” responded M. Briand, smil
ing, “but Montesquieu did not say at
its summit."—Le Cri de Paris.
If men w'ere as perfect as their
vives expect them to be the women
| ;ould all die of ennui.
REAT love through
channels will
smallest
find its
surest way;
It waits not state occasions, which may
not come, or may;
It comforts and it blesses, hour by hour
and day by day.”
Diet for the Too Plump.
Such foods as bananas, fresh bread
and butter, pastry, cake, candy, pota
toes, rich soups and made dishes are
death to the sylphlike form. Avoid
them you who would be slender, and
eat unbuttered toast or zwieback. Hot
water with a little lemon juice in
stead of coffee, or at most but cne cup
of coffee.
Fish in any way except fried, eggs,
simple broth, creamed toast, green
vegetables, stew'ed dried fruit, baked
apples, cup custard or plain rice or
sago pudding for dessert. Any meat,
but pork may be eaten. Tomatoes
should be eaten freely as well as spin
ach and asparagus.
For dessert sherbet, fruit or toast
ed crackers with cheese. Once a week
fast one day, drinking plenty of fresh,
cold water. A month of this treat
ment will show a decrease of from
five to ten pounds, and a week will
show a slight reduction.
As sugar is fattening and so many
of our desserts contain sugar in some
j form, it would seem that desserts
should be left out.
Lemon or orange jelly with very
little sugar and no cream are the least
objectionable. Sour apples, prunes
stewed without sugar or with very lit
tle, are allowable desserts.
Things Good to Know.
If you are not sure that the sewer
pipes are perfectly tight, pour into the
soil pipe at its mouth, above the roof
if possible or into the basin nearest
the roof, a pail of hot water then two
i ounces of the oil of peppermint. The
person handling the peppermint
i should not do the sniffing for pepper
mint odor. Pass all through the lower
rooms and if the scent of peppermint
is noticed, follow it to the leaking
spot in the pipe.
Things V/orth Passing On.
Heliotrope sachet powder that has
lost its freshness makes a good de
odorizer. A small coal dropped into a
cup with a tablespoonful of the pow
der will send up a dainty fragrance
for some time.

Salads.
Salads are such favorite dishes that
we never seem to have the menu
quite complete without one or two.
Many people enjoy a simple salad as
an appetizer to begin a meal others,
enjoy one as a dessert so that the
salad may grace almost any course
acceptably.
For a dinner that salad should al
ways be light if meats are served, but
that it may take the place of the main
dish, such as chicken, lobster or sal
mon. A salmon salad being rich in oil
of the fish, is more palatable when
put together with a simple boiled
dressing with chopped pickle in the
dressing. For a simple dinner salad
of such vegetables as lettuce, cress or
dandelion, the French dressing is es
pecially appropriate. A mayonnaise j
is good served with chicken and cel
ery. Kgg salad Is nice for a lunch- !
eon or supper.
Cucumbers, when used in a salad,
should be peeled, sliced and laid in
ice water to keep them crisp. This
also removes some of the acrid prin
ciples which cause gastric disturb
ances in some stomachs.
For a fruit salad for dessert there
is nothing quite so nice as the juice
of fruit for a salad dressing. If pine
apple juice is at hand, boil it with
sugar to make a rather thick syrup.
Pour this over different sliced fruits.
Another dressing equally acceptable
for fruits Is made by cooking two ta
blespoonfuls each of butter and flour
together. Add one half cup of sugar,
one half cup of orange juice and one
quarter of a cup of lemon juice,
cooked until smooth. When cold serve
on apple, nut. celery, banana, with a
few* dates, or any combination of fruit
liked. A pretty salad may be made of
cream cheese. Arrange the tender
heart leaves of head lettuce. Prepare
cream cheese, well seasoned with
chopped chives, red pepper and salt,
and mold with butter paddles into the
size of good-sized marbles. Roll
each In finely minced parsley or
chives, arrange on the lettuce leaves
and serve with any dressing liked.
Cooks Watch Arrival of Guests.
In all private residences the Japan
ese kitchen is situated at the back of j
the house, but the hotels, restaurants,
etc., have their cuisines facing the
main entrance; the reason given for
this being that there the cook, hidden
from view by a hanging bamboo cur
tain, can watch the arrival of the
guests, and with intuition judge them
plebeian or patrician and sene them
plain or elaborate dishes as he thinks
fit!—Delineator.
After the Snakes.
Nearly all the rattlesnakes seen tn
the zoos of this country and :.n most
of those of Europe are captured by In
lian boys and girls on the western res
ervations. They locate a spot, where
the snakes come out to sun and then
creep up with squirt guns charged
with ammonia and spray the rattlers
ind render them helpless. When the
snake revives he Is a prisoner and
worth three dollars to his captor.

THE JOYS OF OTHER DAYS
Writer's Memory Goes Back to De
lights of Which the Present Gen
eration Know Little.
We cherfuliy admit that the fur
nace and the hard coal base burner
add a whole lot to modern comfort,
but after all they have their draw
backs. For Instance, you can’t very
well pop corn in either a furnace or
a base burner. It took those old
fashioned stoves, in which we used to
burn a two-foot length of hickory
wood, for that sort of thing. When
the wood had burned down to glow
ing coals, we’d open the front door,
rake the coals down in front and pro
ceed to pop corn. When we get rich
we are going to have one of those old
fashioned stoves put up in our room,
with a lot of two-foot seasoned hickory
in the basement, and every now and
then we are going to start a fire in
that stove, get a good bed of coals,
and then pop a dishpan full of corn,
just as a reminder of old days. Of
course, we’ll eat the popcorn, not as
a reminder cf old days, but because we
are awfully fond of popcorn.—Will M.
Two Votes.
The first time I ran for the general
assembly one of the prominent citi
zens of my community told me that
he was going to vote against me be
cause when I was a shaver I threw a
rotten apple at his horse. Another
prominent citizen told me that he was
going to vote for me because when 1
was a shaver I put a rotten egg in a
buggy cushion belonging to the worn
an he worked for and he had never
liked the woman. Think of it! And
yet such stuff has throw-n the scales
where thrones have been at stake.—

SHE QUIT
But It Was a Hard Pull.
It is hard to believe that coffee will
put a person in such a condition as it
did an Ohio woman. She tells her own
story:
I did not believe coffee caused rn>
trouble, and frequently said I liked
it so well I would not, and could not
quit drinking it, but I was a miserable
sufferer from heart trouble and uer\
ous prostration for four years.
I was scarcely able to be around,
had no energy and did not care for ain
thing. Was emaciated and had a con
siant pain around my heart until 1
thought I could not endure it. For
months I never went to bed excepting
to get up in the morning. I felt as
though I was liable to die any time
Frequently I had nervous chills and
the least excitement would drive sleep
aw a>, and any little noise would upset
me terribly. I was gradually getting
worse until finally one time it came
over me and I asked myself what's the
use of being sick all the time and
buying medicine so that I emild in
dulge myself in coffee?
"So I thought I would see If I could
quit drinking coffee and got some
Postuni to help me quit. 1 made i'
strictly according to directions and 1
want to tell you, that change was the
greatest stop in my life. It was easy
to quit coffee because I had the Postum
which I now like better than the old
coffee.
One by one the old troubles left,
until now I am In splendid health,
nerves steady, heart all right and the
pain all gone. Never have any men
nervous chills, don't take any medicine,
can do all my housework, and have
done a great deal beside.”
