Only the Harare ot - dreuistloa contained in ite report axa L imrintoofl by the Association. Secretary. Items Gathered in From Far and Near George Washington University. trom the Springfield Union. We believe that the senate commit tee on agriculture and forestry has act ed wisely in making a favorable report on the bill to extend the benefits of the Morrili act, and the several amend ments to it, to the District of Colum bia, and specifically to George Wash ington University, located in the Dis trict. As the committee says, no good reason suggests itself for debar ring the District of Columbia from benefits enjoyed by the states and ter ritories as a result of the measure which has proved of such great value In developing and extending the advan tages of scientific and technical educa tion. The committee finds no founda tion for the assertion that George Washington University is a sectarian Institution. It is not a public insti tution in the sense that the state col leges are, but the committee points out 'that in no-less than six Instances pre viously institutions resting on private foundations have been designated to receive the benefits of the Morrill act. Among these were Yale, Brown, Cor nell and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The committee finds it was not the intention of the act to force each state to establish a state college or universiy in order to be qualified to administer the fund pro vided. By its present charter George Washington University is subject to the visitorial and supervisory power of congress, and by the proposed bill four federal officials would be made ev-officio trustees of the university and an annual report on its work would be made to Congress. It is found that the university is al ready complying with the terms of the Morrill act, and that of its 1..7J0 stu dents last year, 540 were pursuing sub jects called for by this instrument. It has established a college of engineer- In gand the mechanic arts, schools of architecture and pharmacy, a college of veterinary medicine, courses in bot any, zoology and chemistry, and mist of the subjects commonly embraced by the term "mechanic arts." It is prepared to comply fully with the pro visions of the Morrill act. including, among other things, the advancement of agricultural science. The univer sity seems to be doing an excellent work and there is no good reason why it should not have the same support as is extended to institutions in the states and territories. Though resi dens of the District of Columbia can not vote, they need not be discrimi nated against in the education of their children, nor should young people from the surrounding states be dis couraged from attending an institution that has evinced such a worthy spirit of enterprise and self-help. Sounds Like Irony. From the Newark News. And even now, every once in a while, somebody refers to Philadelphia as "the City of Brotherly Love." Is It Possible? From the Chicago Record-Herald. There are in the United States senate several men whom we are almost sure George Washington would disapprove of if he were here now. Mob City. From the Detroit Free Press. Civilization seems to find hard sled ding In Cairo. III. 7 WINKLES (By Philander Johnson) Pungent Flavors. "One of these food experts says that a cactus leaf is edible." "Well," said the man who is not an epicure, "a cactus leaf is a little spiny. But I shouldn't think it would hurt any worse than horseradish or chile con came. Embarrassing.

If some man were to stop you on the street and tell you that, you would begin to look for the proper authorities to have him locked up. For you would think it very improbable. You would think it very absurd. Why should the children of this or any other place, upon a day ap pointed, engage in the practice of exterminating themselves? Vhe dealers in fireworks already Fourth of July is coming. Some people object to the noise. Cuch people have never been young. They do not know the joy of getting up early in the morning and. punk In hand, pockets stuffed with glorious sound making machinery, waking the neighborhood. They do not know the joy of sending a tin can into eter nity with a giant cracker. Such people even add zest to the day's rleasure by threatening to send for tbe police. Such people verily rejoice when some little friend of ours in the fire of life, puts out an eye or gets the lockjaw from a toy pistol. If we had our way about this business we would begin right now to keep the community from being guilty of contributory murder. We should not say a word about the noise. We should take the trouble to give the KIDS A SQUARE DEAL. THEY ARE ENTITLED TO THE FUN. THEY DO NOT DESERVE TO HAVE LOCKJAW. RIGHT NOW. BEFORE THE DEALERS LAY IN THEIR SUPPLIES, LET PAINS BE TAKEN1 TO AT LEAST RULE OUT THE VERY DAN GEROUS THINGS AND LEAVE PLENTY OF NOISE. This will not please some of our readers the ones who mind being hit by an occasional snow ball. We haven't much faith in just passing ordinances. 1 hough we would like to have it arranged that the murderous varieties of fire works should not get into the hands of our very good friends "the kids." Ordinances are for dealers. And, to let them have a square deal on this affair, whatever is done, ought to be done now. Then, instead of lecturing our children about the danger and making them restive under the rein, by driving them and disappointing them, we would like to see everyone get young for one day and go out and help the youngsters have a good time. We do not even think that a long Fourth of July speech is necessary except it he to remind some of the older people that we are facing just about the same thing now that worried the Signers. But we are interested in the children. Give them a real party and show that ;ou are entitled to be their par ents and their friends. C Ive them something that has some fun and some pleasure in it say a sham battle, and let them have a hand in the game too, Boy Scouts, say. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY CASES OF LOCKJAW or any eyes put out if you will spend a little bit of your VALUABLE TIME. Don't let any one mention a Sano Fourth. But fight the Lockjaw and give OUR' FRIENDS A REAL FOURTH without contributory murder. feres with discipline for me to have to keep saying I don't know." Pursued.

"The playwright introduced a line that was sure of a big round of ap plause. The leading man, the leading woman, the comedian, and in fact ev erybody, insisted on having the oppor tunity to speak it.

The season is approaching Which we hail with dulcet song; The eggs will not stand poaching And the butter's rather strong. For coughs and colds we're treated In scientific terms. And most of us have greeted A variety of germs. The frolicsome bacillus Floats by, so light and gay. He doesn't mean to kill us: That's just his little way.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured. by local applications, as they , cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining- of the- Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling: sound or imperfect hearing-, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restor ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine ctses out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing- but an inflamed con dition of the mucous surfaces.

TWO ASKING DIVORCE Marion, Ind., March 1. Mrs. Eliza beth Ridgley filed a petition in the cir cuit court for the annulment of her marriage to Daniel Ridgley. She charges that the defendant was al ready the husband of Catherine Ridg ley when he married her on Novem ber 1, 1905. She supposed Ridgley's first wife was dead, this representa tion having been made to her, but after living with Ridgley for two years she discovered that wife No. 1 was living and was an inmate of the asyulm for the insane at Richmond. Upon discovering that her husband was a bigamist she left him on Sep temper 23, 1907. Ridgley is now serv iug a term in the state prison for criminal assault. The complaint was tiled by Attor ney B. Bobbs Shively, being the first document that he has entered in the circuit court. A LITTLE PLEASANTRY. He Tried It on the Duchess According to the Rules. "If seated next to a lady at dinner and if at a loss for a topic, toach lightly on the weather. Then turn to dress. It that fails, try a little pleas antry." With these words from "Etiquette For the Populace" stamped upon his memory. Mr. Quiekrich, who bad made a million out of candles and thus gain ed a sudden entry into society, escort ed tbe Duchess of Dash into the din ing room. The multiplicity of forks and knives and spoons staggered him The soup nearly made him faint. But he took his courage and an olive in both hands and lauoched forth pluck- iiy.

A marble shoulder nearly knocked him in the eye a very cold and frigid shoulder. "Hum:" muttered Quickrich. "Rath er 'ard to get along with. Let's see, I'll try a pleasantry."

Hope for India's Child-Wives 4. .A fMl - aV a ;fl i A CHILD WIFE OF INDIA The 25,000 American women organ ized to fight child marriages in India have won a first victory. Prominent Hindu citizens of Cal cutta, awakened by the dangers of a svstem that is depleting the vitality of the race, have held a mass meeting and declared against the marriage ot girls under 16 and men under 2o years of age. If the campaign begun is successful. 2rS.7S0 betrothed baby girls under 4 years of age, 2,201,404 baby wives be tween 3 and 9 years old, 8,10j,(o9 wives whose ages range between 10 and 14 years in all 10,307,163 wives under 14 years of age will have American women to thank for their salvation. The fight of American women against the Hindu practice was brought to the attention of the public last year when Mrs. Caroline P. Wal lace of Calcutta toured the country lecturing and enlisting women under the . banner of the Indo-American Woman's Restoration league. The league aims to restore Hindu women to the safe and honored posi tion they occupied before the invasion of the Mohammedans in the sixth cen tury A. D. That invasion brought In to the country the practice of child betrothals and marriages. THE TRA VELS OF A LIE New York, March 1. Somewhere on this continent a lie started. It had to do with false hair and leprosy, and it grew and grew, until today there is not a city of any size in the United States that isn't filled with this lie made local. You've heard it. Everybody has. It runs this way when it is told to you: "Say, did you hear? There's a girl on the South-side (or the East-side, or across the river, never in your own locality), who has leprosy. Why, her skin is flaking off snow white, her teeth are loosening and they say she is a ghastly sight. Why. it's right here at home, and do you know? she took it from wearing a switch." Or else: "She worked in Blank's department ONE DOSE ENDS INDIGESTION, HEARTBURN OR GAS ON STOMACH, A little Diapepsih will prompt ly regulate any bad Stomach. Why not get some now this mo ment, and forever rid yourself of Stomach trouble and Indigestion? A dieted stomach gets the blues and grumbles. Give it a good eat, then take Pape's Diapepsin to start the di gestive juices working. There will be no dyspepsia or belching of Gas or eructations of undigested food; no feeling like a lump of lead in the stomach or heartbubrn, sick headache and Dizziness, and your food will not ferment and poison your breath with nauseous odors.

The marriages no longer have re ligious significance. A hundred super stitions hold the people in thrall and cause frightened mothers to give up their babies to the most revolting practices of licentiousness under the gr.Ise of marriage. Millions of little girls, forced to be come wives and mothers before they have passed their childhood, dumbly despairing and sometimes ending their own lives to escape their 40 or 50-year-old husbands, have touched the hearts of American women, who have organized to save the children. The Restoration league had its or igin in a visit made to India nine years ago by Miss J. M. Holmes, Miss Carrie A. Tennant and Mrs. Wallace, all of Los Angeles. In India they saw the most hopeless womanhood in the world. They investigated the revolt ing practices to which little girls are given over, and the terrible custom of child-widowhood, which means that the baby whose husband chances to die is a widowed outcast for life. The three women organized the league and since then Mrs. Wallace and Miss Tennant have been almost constantly in India. The action of the Calcutta mass meeting against child marriages was the first of the kind ever taken by leading Hindus. store, in the hair goods department and she got the leprosy from handling Chinese hair all the black switches come from China, you know. And they say some of the other girls In Blank's hair department are sick at home, and they have strong symptoms of leprosy." Now, this is a lie. for no one ever got leprosy from handling or wearing hair switches, nor has medicine a record of a single bona fide case of anv skin disease contracted from handling or wearing false hair. But the lie has cut such inroads in to the false hair trade that it has be come a very serious thing in New York, the center of the hair goods in dustry. The New York investigation has shown practically beyond dispute that the lie was deliberately started by an nate case of Indigestion and Upset Stomach in five minutes. There is nothing else better to take Gas from Stomach and cleanse the stomach and intestines, and, be sides, one single dose will digest and prepare for assimilation into the blood all your food the same as a sound, healthy stomach would do it. When Diapepsin works, your stom ach rests gets itself in order, cleans up and then you feel like eating when you come to the table, and what you eat will do you good. Absolute relief from all Stomach Misery is waiting for you as soon as you decide to take a little Diapepsin. Tell your druggist that you want Pape s Diapepsin, because you want to become thoroughly cured this time. Remember, if your stomach feels out-of-order and uncomfortable now you can get relief in five minutes.

American manufacturer of hair goods to cut off foreign competition. A typical illustration of the lie's pro gress comes from Chicago. Continual ly Health Commissioner Evans of Chi cago is called to the telephone to hear some mysterious individual inform him of a case of leprosy contracted from Chinese false hair. Several times he has investigated, to find a situation something like this: The inspector went out to talk with the telephone informant. That lady didn't know where the leper lived, but Mrs. Blank did. The Inspector weut to Mrs. Blank. All she knew was what Mrs. Dash had told her. Mrs. Dash referred the inspector to Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith passed him along to Mrs. Jones. Finally he reached Mrs. White. All she knew was a telegraphed story she h?d read in a newspaper. Detroit was a center for leprosy stories. !osion and Baltimore both cot undesirable publicity in this re- spect. Cleveland had rumors for months. The story spread to the Pa cific coast. Dr. L. Duncan Bulkley. aa author ity on leprosy, and who now has a leprosy case at the New York Skin and Cancer hospital, said the hair story is ridiculous. '"It would be impossible to contract leprosy from hair, even though the hair came from the head of a leper," he said.
