RESOLUTIONS OF REGARD.
Were Adopted by the Citizens of
Augusta, Ga.

AS an evidence of the good will
which has existed between the peo-
pie of Augusta and the soldiers, the
following set of resolutions have been
drafted by the citizens of that city and
a COPY of 1t sent to every officer and
enlisted man:
Whereas. The volunteer soldiers of our
army are to be mustered out at an early
day, we, the citizens Of Augusta I'm mass

Resolved, That we cordially endorse tho
sentiment so happily expressed by the
president of the United States that sec

common country" and we regard il as a
fortunate circumstance that men from
the north and men from the south, vol
untcers In common cause, have shared
together the fortunes of war and the
hardships of camp, and that thousands
Of men from the northern states have
been encamped for months in southern
communities where they have had the op-
portunity to observe for themselves the
charm Of our climate, the favor of our
friendship and the patriotism OF our Ieo-
pie.

try are due TO the soldiers in camp as well
as to men at the front, and the volunteer

Resolved, That we cons der ourselves
exceptionally fortunate in the officers and
men who were assigned to Camp Mac

their department has been such as to
demonstrate the right Of the American
soldier to the respect and esteem of all.

B. Young, and through hm, TO all the
officers aud men of the First division OF

dial regard and of our host wishes for
their future happiness and success
These sentiments apply in more
especial manner to the members OF
the Thirteenth regiment, who feel that
their stay in Dixie was far more
pleasant than the time they spent at
any other camps, and nowhere else
did they find such warm hospitality
of such kind treatment as they did
at the hands of the southern peo-
pie. The boys return to their

greatly improved ideas of the south

Congressman-elect Roberts, of Utah,
Scored in This CITY.

Many objections from many sources
have been made to the seating of Con-
gressman- -elact Bingham II. Roberts,
from Utah, but it has remained for
this city to go ON record as presenting
the most unique and in all probability
the most striking objection or protest
of all. From the members of that very
church or sect in which Mr.. Roberts
is said to be an active worker, comes
this objection.
At a recent meeting Of the members
of the Reorganized Church of Jesus

Finley's hall, on Lackawanna avenue,
the following resolutions were unani-

PRAISE FROM COL. COURSEN.
Scranton and it's vicinity can well
be proud of the men that represented
it in the Spanish war" said Colonel
Coursen Yesterday when asked to give
an expression on the long tour Of ardu-
Gus duty now ended. "Ths | say with
out fear of being considered egotistical,
for with a moments reflection it is ap-
parent to anyone that it is the main
body of the soldiery that is responsible
almost wholly for the record a regiment
makes.
without such excellent officers as
were over the companies and on my
staff. the regiment could not have made
the showing it did, but still more diff
cult would il have been to come through
the campaign with such commend
able record had the men in the ranks
been recruited from poor material.
1--WE had the best behaved, best dis
ciplined regiment that was at any camp
we went to. There are many things
that caused regret, but the boys can
look back with pride and self-congratu-
lation on the manner in which they
conducted themselves. They are a
standing example of the fact that a
man can be a soldier and a gentle
man"
When one contrasts the record of the
Thirteenth with that of some Of its
neighbors. particularly at Camp Mac
lienzie. there is no questioning the fact
that Colonel Coursen has good cause
for felicitation.
Not single instance of crime and
hardly misdemeanor that would ordi-
narily be printed in the average news
paper can be charged against any of
its members. Not q single drunken
soldier got off any of the three trains
at the Delaware and Hudson station.

Lotteries i'm old Havana.

In Havana the strangers attention
is arrested by the venders of lottery
tickets, who stand on the street cor
ners with a pair of shears in one hand
and sheets of lottery tickets in the
other, ready to cut off any number for
buyers. They are very adroit, and are
apt to persuade the credulous that
they will draw fortune in the scheme.
These licensed lotteries are one of the
great evils there, especially to the
Spanish people, who seem to be born
gamblers, and for whom the chances
of dice, cards and lottery tickets ap-
pear to have an irresistible charm, all
classes in Havana dealing in them ha-
bitually. - :

THAT KlPLlNG CRITICISM.
The Poem a ''BIast From a
Silver Trumpet"

y
Editor Daily Chieftain:-I was
surprised to see in Tuesdays pa.
per an adverse criticism of Rud.
yard Kipling's splendid poem,
"Recessional, written on the occa-
sion of the queens jubilee.
Beside the moral and religious
tone of Kipling's beautiful poem
there is deep undercurrent that
leads the mind in the direction OF
the devoutest worship Of the "just
God who presides over the destiny
of nations" Throughout the five
little verses the author of "Reces-
sional" discovers himself to have
been close reader and a passion
ate admirer of the holy scripture.
He would rather initiate scripture
than Homer and Virgil.
There is solemnity and majes-
ty in his conception and in his die
tion that gives the finest poetic
touch to the thought. Whoever
has any true taste and genius we
feel confident will esteem the
poem the best of modern produc-
tons, as the scriptures are the best
of all ancient ones.
The one great purpose of poetry
is, to teach men to see, and feel,
and think upon the beauties OF
creation and to have gratitude and
devotion to their maker: this can
only be effected by poets eye and
a poets pen. The true poet like
Kipling can present things in
lights which can warm the coolest
heart.
At the daybreak of new GEN.
Jury, "Recessional" comes like
he blast of a silver bugle in the
hand of master from the lights of
he dying century and is heard
llong the 'far flung battle line" of
he English speaking races of the
'arth. The armies of the earth
wherever civilization has planted
Ter standard will halt, and listen
ng angels from the battlements of
he new Jerusalem shall chant as
he shiboleth OF earth and heaven
he words of the immortal Kip
ing:
God OF our fathers, known OF old
Lord OF our far-iiung battle line
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget"

They Furnish an Agreeable Heat
when the Weather Becomes
Chilly ard Damp.

The breezes and dampness of fall
suggest the necessity for some arti-
fetal heat long before it is desirable
to light the winters stoves or heater.
The decaying debris of the summers
vegetation. which has not yet been
purified by the frost, together with
the dampness of the morning and
evening at this season. produce con-
| ditions which are a menace to the
health. A slight fire is necessary to
dry out the house as well as to purify
the air and create a current OF fresh
air.
No heat 10 SO agreeable or so valu-
able fer this purpose as the heat of an
open fireplace. A few logs of wood,
with handful of driftwood by the sea-
side, or handful of fragrant pine
cones or of balsam boughs, lighted on
the hearth. will do more than any
medicine TO ward away the malarial
dangers that lurk in the air. The ad-
vantage of the open fire is twofold.
1t ventilates as we'll as heats the
house. 1t Is dangerous to shut up the
malarious air of fall in the house in
order to shut out the dampness and
chill of the morning and evening.
Ventilation is more necessary in the
fall than at any other season of the
year, because the air of the house is
more easily vitiated Test the matter
by shutting up room and then going
off fer a brisk walk in the country.
Use all your senses. and note the foul
odor of the shut-up room and the op-
pressive feeling one experiences after
coming into the atmosphere from the
fresh outdoor air. 1t recalls Thoreau's
trenchant remark that the atmos-
phere of dwelling-houses often re-
minded him of slaughter houses.
Where there is low fire burning
morning and evening on the hearth,
with the window and some doors Of
the house open, the atmosphere never
gets into this condition. If one be-
comes accustomed TO the gradual
change in the outer air by admitting
it daily it will not be necessary nor is
it wholesome thing to light the per-
manent winter fires early. - N. Y.

PROPER COOKING.
Does Much to- Enhance the Value of
Food and Conducss to
Health.

Red meats, broiled, boiled, baked or
roasted, are admirable food for those
who need them. Fried or overlooked
they are almost worthless. Bread we'll
made and baked may be the "staff of
life;" badly made and baked it will
be the usual source of ''sour stom-
ach." The true value of a dish de-
pends more upon the proper choice,
combinations and cookery of the in
gradients than upon the quantity of
solid, nutritious matters found by a
laboratory analysis OF the lncooked
materials. 1t is to be hoped that as
time passes our women may be suffi.
ciently impressed by the growing lack
of intelligence in the servants who
work in our kitchens to study cook
cry as a science; then they may be
able. without the assistance of drugs,
to digest the God-given foods.
We all know. or should at least, that
an egg lightly cooked will digest in
half the time that it will take to di-
gest one hard-boiled. In winter, in
cold climates, the carbonaceous foods
should be increased; in summer heat,
use in their place sub-acid fruits and
green vegetables, and less proper
tion also of flesh foods.
Watch carefully the people at sum-
mer resorts calling for heavy foods,
and complaining if they do not get,
on the Fourth of July, as large a joint
as they would have for Christmas din
ner. 1t is lack of thought and COM
mon sense in these directions which
produces the numerous ills and in
durable diseases so frequently met
with in everyday life.-Ladies' Home
Journal.

1t may interest the earnest
champions of silver at 16 to l to
know that there have been other
ratios of coinage since the world
began and 16 to l has not been, as
many seem to think, the only f.
nancial pebble on the beach.
"Sound Currency" in a recent
issue, gives monetary chronolo-
gy extending over the period from
1860 before Christ to 1898 after
Christ. At the latter date the
market ratio of silver to gold was
quoted as IS to l. Sound Cur
rency" then says that in the year
$50 b. c., according to Herodotus,
the rate was ID to l, but by 60 B.
c., gold had become 30 abundant
by the opening of new mines that
the ratio was 9 to l. This was
about the ratio at the beginning
of the Christian era. Six hundred
years later it was 81 to l in Ara
bia and 10 to l in France. In
1874 in Florence the ratio was
about IL to l, but it was about 1O
to l in Spain when Columbus dis
covered America. In 1909 Hol.
land had a ratio of lat to l. By
1913 the ratio had become 1926
to l, receding afterward to about
l5.5 to l. In 1884 our Congress
made the ratio is to 1.-States.
