MODERN MISERS.
Men Who Starve Themselves
to Accumulate Money.

There is a certain fearful fascination
about the stories of the misers of the
past. The money they accumulated was
Of no more practical value to them than
the trinkets stolen and secreted by some
magpie or jackdaw. They hid it from
the sight and use of men and in silence
and secret gloated over the useless
wealth. To gather it they lived on
crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover
them and FIRE to warm them, lived
starved lives and in not few cases died
of starvation. That was the old-time
miser. The modern miser resembles
this man of the past in the particular
that he frequently dies of starvation.
In his eagerness to gather money he

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec 33.-Frank
Rause, alias o. w. Lloyds, alias Mrs.
o. Ii. Saunders, is under arrest here on
the charge of using the United States
mails to defraud. Rause is accused
of disappearing sometimes as a
tramp, sometimes as Il business man,
at other times as a stylishly dressed
woman, and again as a hunchbacked
boy. The officers who made the ar
rest do not know whether their pris-
oner is a man or a woman.
He was arrested as hunchbacked
boy On his head was stocking cap,
which, when removed, showed another
cap such as women wear when bath
ing. Under this inner cap was colled
roll of soft, silken blonde hair, OF
which any woman might be proud.
Rause, when arrested, denied that he
is a woman Dressed as man he is
slender, snooth-faced youth. Be
hind his arrest there is alleged to be
a far-reaching scheme to defraud jew
elers in all parts of the country.

NO FRICTION SAYS CHAFFEE

Philippine Military Chief Talks of the
Situation.
Manila, Dec. 30.-General Chaffee,
when questioned by the correspondent
of the Associated Press concerning the
alleged friction between the civil and
military authorities in the Philippine
archipelago, said that absolutely no
such friction existed and that perfect
harmony prevailed between the two
authorities. General Chaffee said that
he and the members of the commission
had at times differed in their views,
but that these difference were of pure
ly personal opinion.
Every time the slightest friction had
arisen in the provinces between the
two authorities he had invariably Or
dered the military to surrender to the
civil authority. oBth were working
toward the same goal, namely, the pac-
ification and welfare Of the Philippine
archipelago. General Chaffee con-
cluded by saying that he thought the
prospect Of subduing the insurrenction
in all places to be promising.

pays small heed to the claims of health.
He eats anything. anyhow, anywhen,
and anywhere. He doesn't eat crusts
by any means nor spare his purse to fill
his stomach. The mistake he makes is
in thinking that when a man has filled
his stomach, that is the end of the bust
ness of feeding. Instead of being the
end of feeding it's only the beginning.
There is no value in food unless it is
digested, converted into nutrition and
assimilated. These processes depend
upon the healthfulness of the stomach
and the other organs of digestion and
nutrition. When these organs are dis
from the food received into the stomach
and the body becomes weak through
lack of nourishment. One day this
weakness" begins to find special de-
velopment In some chief organ, heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys, ETC., to which the
man succumbs. The doctors certificate
reads uheart disease" "kidney disease"
as the case may be.
But the real reading of the certificate
should be:
STARVED TO DEATH.
The truth of this statement is appar-
emit. The body is sustained by food
digested and assimilated. But the body
is made up of its parts and organs, and
when the stomach is uweak," digestion
imperfect. and the nutrition extracted
from food inadequate to the needs of the
body, the result is shared by every part
and organ of the body. For this reason
no man Is stronger than his stomach,
and nc organ sustained by the stomach
can be stronger than the stomach.
Therefore when we hear of vweak"
stomach we are pretty sure we are going
to hear in time of uweak heart, uweak"
lungs, cweak (" kidneys, or weakness of
some other organ of the body dependent
on the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition.
Now these things being true when

scheme the Governor Thought Would Give
the Required Elasticity.
The governor then proceeded to out
line plan he believed would give the
desired elasticity. Said he: Il be-
lieve that graduated tax ON currency
based on government bonds would re-
suit in elasticity. That l may make
myself clear permit an illustration, but
do not understand me as advocating
or SO much as intimating-the correct
ness Of the scale Of taxation suggest.
/ make it only to bring out an idea.
Suppose banks were permitted to is
sue a volume Of circulation equivalent
to one-fourtb of their capital stock at
a tax of, say, one-fourth per cent.
Then permit an increase of one-half it's
capital stock at one-half per cent,
then to increase again to three-fourths
at relatively increased rate, and then
to increase again to equal its capital
stock, at one per cent. TAX.

banks to carry larger volume of gov

"When a western bank now needs
more circulation-more cash-it re-dis-
counts it's commercial paper and is
compelled to redeem it at given date

banks be permitted to increase their

as soon as the demand for it ceases,

Il repeat that currency based on as

dice. This will vanish as the question
is discussed and explained by those
who make a study of it. The depos-

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 30.-Governor
Shaw, when seen by the Associated

having given an interview regarding
Secretary Cages treasury policy. On
the contrary he has positively refused
TO give any such interviews. Fearing
that he had been misunderstood or mis-
quoted he has authorized The Register
to publish the following concerning his
alleged commitment to any described
treasury administrative policy: II
have spoken in the highest and most
complimentary terms of Secretary
Cages administration of the office Of
secretary of the treasury. Further
than that have not spoken, and shall
not speak. This statement must be
given no other Interpretation than that
do not propose to discuss these prob
lens at this time"
Speech He Made in Nebraska.
Governor Shaw says that the near
est he has come to an expression of
opinion on the asset currency question
was In a speech delivered at Norfolk,
Neb., last April. but he would not say
Just what his expression of views was.
The portions of the speech referring
to asset currency are as follows: Il
have been asked to say something on
the subject of bank circulation based
on assets. This is not an issue in poll
tics, nor have we any legal provision
therefor. / shall, therefore, not at
tempt to defend it. / am willing,
however to go on record as in favor
Of an elastic currency, and If l be-
1ieved there was no other way to Sc
cure an elastic currency other than as
set currency, then l should advocate
such an issue.
Question of Control of Volume.
81 am mindful of the fact that it Is
claimed that an elastic currency places
the control of the volume in the hands
of the bankers. Who should control
the volume? l am willing the rail-
roads shall determine the number Of
cars to be used, for they win build
cars as long as there is demand for
them. The cars of the western rail-
roads are all employed when the crops
are being moved; but literally acres
of cars stand on side tracks retired
from circulation while the crops are
growing.
Asset Banking Not Necessary.
I '.But as I have said, do not believe
Il necessary to resort to asset banking
in order to provide an elastic currency.
I recognize public prejudice-akin
to fear-against a currency based on
assets, and prejudice, so long as it ex-
lists, constitutes an element of danger,
even when the thing itself against
which the prejudice lies contains no
element Of danger"
