Acid food in the view OF DR.. w.
T. English, of Pittsburg, is our
latest excess, the acidulous habits of
the body marking a distinct stage in
civilization. The consumption of
acid fruits, pickles and acid drinks is
increasing at az astonishing rate, the
production of tomatoes having multi
piled ten times since 1890, while the
quantity of acid drinks taken has
doubled in the same period, every
year. The tendency of the acid diet
is held to be to destroy the action of
the bile and pancreatic juice by neu-
tralizing their normal alkilinity and to
lessen resistance to infection by re-
turning the alkalinity of the blood
and other bodily fluids. The effects
may be far-reaching, deranging es-
pecially the nervous system and the
heart, and even temporarily causing
intellectual confusion and incoherency
of thought.

Mayor Jones. of Toledo, Ohio, who
was elected to Office last spring by the
people instead of the politicians, be-
lieves that all contract work in munich
palities should be abolished, states the
New York Independent, In one of
the sessions of the recent Battle Creek
Civic-Philanthropic Conference he
brought out this point very clearly.
For, said he, contractors pay must
come either out of the inferior work or
ont of inferior wages; and money thus
spent on contracts or contractors goes
not to the people but from the people.
This is true, and its general accept
ance will hasten the time when the

QUIETLY SLEEPS.
Mother" Mckinley Dead--Full
of Years and HOnorS.
Old Custom Revived-Friends and
Neighbors First Considered.

CANTON, o., Dec. Infancy Allison Ne
kinley, mother Of the president OF the
United States. has died after short illness
in which her wonderful constitution batlled
death for days. She was one Of ten children,
five sons and five daughters. and was dis
tantly related to Senator Allison's family.
The Allisons are Of Scotch COyenanter stock.
In the dawn OF this country Mrs. McKinleys
parents moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio,
and her mother, Anne Campbell Allison,
made the then dreaded journey on horse
back, with babe in her arms and another
child on the saddle in front Of her. In 1909
Nancy was born, and 1t may have been that
among tnat brood of active, inteli-
gent Youngsters she acquired the
precious art of governing without irri-
tation. which later repeated itself in her
daughter Annie and her son William, who
now holds the most exalted, sacred and
responsible position that rests in the power
OF the Union to bestow on man. Nancy was
a lass of Is when she married William Nc
Kinley, age 20 She welded man she
not only loved devotedly, but one actuated

and industry rs herself. Her husband was
one of the pioneer irOnmasters OF

inherited his bent for metal working
from his maternal grandfather, An

to Bucks county. Pennsylvania, from the
revolutionary army to make bullets and
cannon. Eight children were born OF the

The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon
in the First Methodist Episcopal church in
which MIS-. Mckinley had been a faithful
member. The immediate relatives preferred
brief private services at the Mckinley home
stead, but, because of the urgent request OF
neighbors. old-time friends aud members Of
the church, they consented to have public
services An ancient custom of the church
which has long fallen into disusc was revived.

DIR. Bernard Moses, Professor of
History in the University of California,
urged a large audience of students to
show their patriotism by combating
the spread of luxury and the rise of a
feudal aristocracy of wealth. The
lecture was the last of a series of four
on Democracy and Social Growth in
the United States" Professor Moses
said that "a republic may be preserved
and yet be further away from democ-
racy than any kingdom. As a nation
we stand committed to representa-
tive republic, based on democracy.
There is no other alternative but an
oligarchy or military despotism. We
hold that the establishment of this
Government represented a step for
ward. 1t represents certain principles
which we believe will abide, no mat
ter how the outward form may change.
We should contend against retrogres-
sion or the taking up of some outworn
institution. The feudalism of land
has passed away; but in the past fifty
wears there has arisen in America a
new feudalism, based on wealth, no
less reaching in social influence.
There have been recent accumulations
of enormous fortunes. The modern
feudal lord holds people in subsection
by the power of extraordinary aggre-
cations of wealth. The modern feudal
lords have obtained possession of all
the more important means of produc-
ton. To the extent to which America
is drifting toward the outworn form of
feudal organization she is going con-
trary to her destiny. The old feudal-
ism was supplanted by the centraliza-
ton of power in the hands of a
monarch. The feudalism of wealth
may be overcome by centralizing the
power in the hands of the people.
Another retrogression is the departure
from simple style Of living ana the
prodigious attempts to draw class dis
tinctions. To-day we are conspicuous
among the nations for our lack OF
simplicity of living and our desire fol
social position. Wealth is made the
measure There is need OF a revlva
in political affairs. Politically we have
fallen on barren times. 1t is an af
fectation of the cultured classes tt
assume u disregard for patriotism
There is need for all awakening o.
genuine patriotism. Redemption
comes not by form, but by spirit
There is imperative need OF revivine
force to awaken the nation to lool
once more on the ideals OF the found
ers,"

In electing Aaron Jones of South Bend
Ind, to the head of the National grange, the
order has proven anew its appreciation of
the efforts of the practical farmer and work
er for organization. Mr.. Jones is a native
of Indiana, having been born in st. Joseph
county in 1888. In this county his farrh of
600 acres is located and he manages the
whole of it. pursuing mixed farming with
profit and pleasure. He is a member of the
state board of agriculture and chairman of
the executive committee, and is one of the

the Northern Indiana and Southern Michi-
gan Agricultural society and served as its
president. He served twelve years as mas
ter of the Indiana State grange, and for the

try should be raised. He also believes the
elementary principles of agriculture should
be taught in all schools.
