TALLY a victory for the people. / was in
Chicago week or two ago and there
found that the issue was substantially the
same as discrimination of franchise and
lower fares. l think the people of Illinois,
particularly of Chicago, have reason to feel
disappointed at the outcome of their street
car legislation The street-car question is
one of the live issues of the day and L.
for one, purpose to do my full duty in en-
deavoring to solve 1t in the interest of the
people. / have no ambition to serve beyond
doing my full duty to my constituency.
My bill may not be perfect, but believe II
embodies the ideas that will eventually be
the basis of street-car legislation. l have
said before and l say it now, that ] have
enlisted for the war and | viii stay it out.
Upon the Street-car question my views
are briefly these: The company in posses
sion of our streets should be compelled to
pave and keep the streets In repair be-
tween the tracks, and then instead OF pay
ing a gross sum out of its earnings INTO
the general treasury, to make the proper re-
duction in the fares so that the man who
bears the burden will get the benefit In
other words. that the man who rides will
get the benefit instead of the general tax
payer.
Il am glad that 1 am a hold-over sena-
tor that | may in my humble way assist
in solving the street-car question, the
School Board question, the justice of the
peace question and many more that are
agitating the public mind.
In conclusion / desire to say that,
while | have not had the opportunity 20
learn the particulars of the decision of our
Supreme Court, L am pleased with the re-
suit and firmly believe il to be right. There
are two questions that Will In the near
future be fought out at the polls, and they
are, first, the arrogance and Capitalization
OF power in the hands of corporations, and,
second, the encroachment OF the federal
judiciary upon the sovereign rights of the
states. Wheh the result IS determined II
will be in favor of the people, for they are
always supreme"

SHOALS, Ind, June n.-A legal battle is
now a certainty over the office of county
superintendent in Martin county. The ten
trustees met to elect Monday. After
casting 154 ballots without an election, there
being five Democrats and five Republicans,
and the vote being by secret ballot, mo-
ton was made to change the mode of cleo
ton to an election upon motion. The vote
on this motion was also a tie and Auditor
Harryman, under the law, cast the deciding
vote in favor of the motion. Thereupon a
motion was made to appoint Prof. ElijaT
Mcfarland of Lagootee, as superintend-
emit The motion was put and tie vote re-
suited, whereupon the auditor cast the de-
Gliding vote in favor of Mcfarland. John
T. Morris the present incum bent who has
held the office for eight years and whose
last term was a follower, now refuses TO
surrender the office to his fellow-Demo-
crat Mcfarland. Although Norris was not
a candidate before the board of election
vet he strove to prevent an election so that
he could hold over another term 1t was not
the wish of either party to have Morris
hold the office any longer. Now he defies
his old friends who for so many years stood
faithfully by him. Prof. Mcfarland is now
after his legal rights in the courts and a
hot legal fight is looked for. All this trouble
is within the Democratic household.

Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette

DleleClc ana 11SSlenlC
There is no doubt that the palate is in
the main a good guide to be followed in
the selection of ones food, and can, in the
majority of instances. be depended upon
as a reliable dietetic mentor.
Our climatic conditions are such as to
render a diversified diet peculiarly neees-
sary. During the. winter season fats and
meats are demanded in large quantity by
the system to furnish heat to withstand
the cold, and tissue to replace the increased
waste going on under the stimulus of a
lowered temperature The heat of sum-
mer imposes other and quite different ne
cessites, as witness the distaste for fats,
vegetables. 1t has been said that climate
affects diet mainly by the supply it af-
toTus' IN tfoplcal ana seml-troplcal coun-
tries fruits and vegetables grow in rich
profusion. 1t would, therefore, almost seem
as if they We're intended as mans natural
hot-weather food. Whether this be true or
not, it cannot be doubted that they contain
many of the elements best adapted to our
needs during the summer months, most
agreeably combined. and requiring the least
expenditure of energy to utilize them
While fruits serve many excellent dietetic
purposes. they, however cannot alone sup
port nutrition unimpaired, a mixed diet be-
ing at all times necessary for the MAIN
tenance of the normal Fruits are not all
of equal nutritive value. The date, plan
tain, and it's variety the banana, rank
highest in this respect, each containing
sufficient nutriment to support life for
long period. The banana has assumed a
very important place among fruits brought
to this country. 1t is, unfortunately, nee
essary in shipping to the United States,
to pick the fruit while still green, and it
is often but imperfectly ripened when eaten.
This probably accounts for the fact that
many persons cannot digest them. When
we'll ripened and fresh no such difficulty
is experienced Flour made from the fruit
is highly valued as an invalid food. The
uses of fruit are as follows:
l. To furnish variety to the diet.
2. To relieve thirst and introduce water
into the system.
8. To furnish nutriment.
4. organic salts

3. To stimulate the kidneys, increase the
flow of urine and lower its acidity.
6. To act as laxatives.
7. To stimulate and improve appetite and
