To my mind one of the great pleasures of travel is in learning to travel by myself. There are satisfac- tion, pleasure and education in plan ming routes, deciphering time tables, making bargains, learning by obserya- tion the lay of the land.
 The time may have been when q courier could save q traveller more than his cost. Most certainly that is not the case now. On the contrary, as be gets q percentage on every purchase his party makes. which, of course, comes out of the purchaser i'll increased price. and as it is often for his interest to advise the more costly route, the more costly hotel or the more costly excursion, he eats mp much more than his wages, while saving positively nothing Bean declares that in two weeks trip in southern Spain, which he made side by side with a couple having courier. he invariably reached the hotel first, got better rooms and saw all the sights to IS good advantage, yet the courier was.

Thought She Would Make Tom Happy,
 but Both Are Now Miserable.
 Daughters of wealthy men who fall ill love with their fathers employees are not entirely restricted to novels. There is a Chicago merchant whose con. fldential man has for some time been a suitor for his. daughters hand. There is another departure from tradition in the fact that his love affair Is not as violently opposed as 1t might be. He is 8 thoroughly capable and upright fel- low, and his prospective father-in- law probably doesn't see why he wouldn [ do just as well as clubman or per haps nobleman for his daughters hus- band. Of course the two lovers like to be as much as possible in each other 5 company and try all sorts of little schemes and inventions 10 bring this happy state of affairs about
 The other evening when the young man, whose familiar name is Tom, called at the home of his fianeee she was perfectly radiant
 Oh. Tom, have just the best piece of news to tell you!'' she said to aim.
 Indeedn was his reply. Tell II to me right away
 ..I know you will be So glad I did il, ," she continued

 I'm going 10 tell you all about 1t. Papa said this morning that he was go- ing to California. 10 Dc gone a month. He said I'd enjoy the scenery and the climate, and he thought there wasn' [ any trip that I'd like so much. Oh, he wanted me to go awfully bad, but just thought that I wouldn't see you for a month, and so I took stand. I must have made 50 excuses. Finally I told him that I'd promised to go to Cousin Maude's at Lake Geneva, and that l just couldn't break my promise, so at last be Ter me of. It was hard work, and Pm almost afraid l made him angry, but knew you'd be so glad "
 "Yes-um-of course, responded Tom.
 Well, you don't look half as glad as I thought you would. !"

 Then you're not glad. she said in tone of mixed surprise and disappoint- ment
 Well. no, darling" he said "You see, Pm to go with him. "-Chicago Times Herald.

 Under one heading we may consider several groups of food stuffs, which, while different in composition. are alike in the form of adulteration which is re- sorted to These groups include the va rieties of canned vegetables, fruit hut ters, jellies, preserves and catchups. The forms Of adnlterations common to all of these consist in the use of eoloring matter, of imperfect vegetables or fruits, of other fruits and vegetables than those called for or of preseryatiyes h the case of canned vegetables there is an accidental adulteration from the in- gradients of the can, such as lead and tin, and which may, as a rule be at tributed to a lack of care in canning
 In all of the groups mentioned the adulteration practiced is of the most fragrant and extensive kind Catchups are made of skins and cores instead of the pure vegetables, then eolored with a coal tar product and loaded with sali- cylic acid to prevent fermentation Fruit butters are nothing but parings anu cIiu p4ASS LII II u1t tO M1f41it starch and coloring have been added, with salicylie acid as preservatiye Jellies are made from glucose favored with essential oils and colored, to which salicylic acid is added.

NEW TO-DAY.
NEW TODAY.
The SICK
ARE CURED,
The Depression Caused by
Disease Is DiSpeled.

DISEASES. ESPECIALLY THOSE OF
~ chronic nature, cannot be cured ex-
cept by treatment that strikes directly
at the root OF the trouble. The new, origl-
nal and marvellous method OF treating dis
eases that is pursued at the State Electro
Medical Institute is one that never falls.
The salutary effects of the treatment on
any disease are at once perceived and
speedy and permanent cure is invariably
made i'll every case.
The treatment is medical and electrical
combined. The peculiar method of ad-
ministering these two great curative reme-
dies is a new, original, scientific discovery
of the Institute. 1t is used exclusively by
them and the most amazing results are
accomplished in the treatment and cure OF
all diseases.
The Institute is splendidly equipped
with every device KNOWN to the scientific
world for administering medical electric
ity, including large Static, Faradic and
Galvanic batteries, Electric Belts, Body
Batteries and a great variety of other
electric appliances that are manufactured
and used exclusively by the Institute In
their Electro Medical treatment. BY
means of these electric batteries and ap-
pliances, yitalizing, life-giving electric
currents are used to aid in sending the.
Institute medicines directly to the dis
eased organs and diseased parts of the
body.
The medicines prescribed at the Insti-
tute are perfect laboratory triumphs, for
mulated from a true appreciation of the
medicinal wants of the body; and when
these medicines are aided in their recu-
perating and healing work by electricity
scientifically applied, every symptom of
disease is rapidly disrelled, the patient
soon regains perfect health and strength,
while the depression caused by disease IS
displaced by the happiness and pleasure
that is the natural heritage of those twin
blessings, ''a sound mind in sound
body"
If you are sick or ailing, if you want to
know what is the matter with you, and if
you want to be cured, you should resort
without delav to the State Electro Medical
Institute. The Institute TREATS AND
CURES Diseases of the Heart Brain and
Nerves, Blood Diseases, rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, Kidney Diseases, Throat Diseases,
Stomach Diseases. Diseases OF the Liver,
Bowel Diseases. Eye Diseases, Ear Dis
eases, Diseases of Men, Diseases of Women,
and all Durable Diseases.

THE REKENUE-cUT7ER SERVICE.
Secretary Carlisle Warmly Praises rs Eff
cheney and Shows It's Value to
the Government

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. A Tribune
special from Washington says:
Secretary Carlisle has written some COM
plimentary criticism of the revenue-cutter
serv ce. In a report on the subject the
Secretary says, among other things that
the general and varied work of the service
abundantly commends its value and eff
ciency as a branch of the Government.
There has not been q similar period in the
history of the service, he states, when,
with old and badly appointed vessels and
depleted personnel, its resources have
been so severely taxed as they were dur
ing the year just closed. Yet, with the
numerous calls made upon the service, Il
has ably performed; important work in
trusted to it, and at incompatible record
of service rendered is presented. The re-
port says:
An active patrol of the coast line, rivers and
harbors of the United States, especially on the
sea, gulf and great lakes, has been maintained,
and in the performance of this work the YES
sells OF the service have crused an aggregate OF
307, ,133 nautical miles and boarded and exam
ined 20,250 vessels of the merchantmen ma
rine, of which number 645 were reported tc
the proper authorities for violation of the
United States customs and navigation laws
incurr1ng penalties in the sum of S210 GAL.
During the year 81 vessels with 694 persons
on board in actual distress were assisted, the
value of the vessels and their caTgoes amount
ing to 81 OIL ,S07.
Referring to the Bering Sea feet Secre-
tary Carlisle says:
The able captains and other officers and the
! faithful crews OF the service under the sklllfu
| direction of the officers in command, met every
emergency and are deserving of the highest
consideration and praise his feet has
cruised over 100, 900 nautical miles boarded
and examined 116 different vessels, of which
number &c were engaged in fur-sealing.
The Secretary recommends the creation
of retired list of commissioned officers
He also recommends that section 4457 o.
the Revised Statutes (act of April 18. 1914
be amended so as TO read as follows:
The enlisted men of the revenue cutter
service of the United States who have been OF
may be wounded or disabled while in tn,
actual discharge of their duties, shall be en-
titled to be placed upon pension list unde
the same regulations and restrictions as ar,
provided by law for enlisted men of the navy
