More than $4,000 replies were re-
ce1ved from all parts of the country,
and they were piled in a corner of the
outer office of the Mail in the Tract
Society building, when Mr.. Harms
worth, shortly after noon, reached to
the center of the pile and took the
first letter that his hand touched.
1t was in an envelope of the Unitvpe
company, whose Offices are on the
twentieth floor of the same building
The writer was Herbert L. Baker, the
general manager, a former newspaper
man. His letter was as follows:
The World in its tabloid form does
not seem to have much to it, though
perhaps 1T is all there. I like the
form very much, but I don't care for
scare heads, 1ong-winded stories, etc. -
Mr.. Baker was summoned

Mr.. Harmsworth counted out TWEEN

and all this was done in the presence
of a room full of newspaper men,
stenographers and legislators. From
the statehOuse Mrs. Nation proceeded
to the courthouse, her army of news
paper reporters forming a body guard.
''They are lodging" she said, ''the
governor and the attorney general
are lodging. Yes, they are lodging,
but there's no lodging my hatchet."

AS ARTICLE OF FOOD.
Prof. Wiley Thinks the Seed of the Sun
flower Will Become A Useful Ar
ticle of Diet.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Prof. Wiley,
chemist for the department of agri-
culture, has been making expert
ments with sunfower-raising with a
view of introducing the oil of the
plant into America as it is used in
Russia. There is something abso-
lutely exhilarating in the mere
thought of the gay yellow blossoms,
but outside of Russia, where it is used
as a staple of diet, no one had
thought of transferring it to the en-
bellishment of a salad. However,
Prof. Wiley says: For its sweetness
and palatability, it is well suited to
table use, and more nearly than any
other known vegetable has the gen
eraI properties of the oil of the olive"
