There is sullen silence, but gnash- ing of teeth and angry looks in and around the war department these days says our Washington correspondent, when the name of Leonard Wood is mentioned in the hearing of some of the old veterans. Of those whom love of Roosevelt hath singled out the name of Wood overtops all the slate of army of fcers intended for promotion. There is pathos as well as injustice in the fact that scores of gallant and ac- complished officers of the civil war are to be, retired and denied forever the chance that is marked out for the presidents friend. Simply because Wood has been the confidant of the president of the United States, Leon- ard Wood, five years ago an army doc tor, with the rank of captain, has been continually and rapidly advanced in rank, pay and power over the heads of older and better soldiers, whose lives have not only been faithfully de- voted to the service of their countrys but who have been imperilled in every crisis that has confronted it for 40 years. @r's

SUMMER vEILINGS.
MOdash Varieties That Are Now POp- uIar Among Up-to-Daxe
 Dressers.

Tn examining comprehensive stock of veilngs a surprising variety in tex ture and design is to be discovered, says the Millinery Trade Review. The latest penchant in what has been termed the beauty veil' is for that of silk tulle of wide-open meshes woven undotted; yet dotted veilings have their persistent ad- vocates, and textures of tulle are leid out for inspection thickly seeded, as it were, with specks of velvet as minute as the tiniest beads; and from this are tissues iecked with dots of all sizes up to that of silver half-dime piece-the larger the dots the scarcer on the sur face of the texture. Contrasting with the tulle of wide-open meshes are shown tulles of very fine close texture, some of them revealing printed tracery designs -as of black on white grounding, for example, or of white on black-fiecked sparsely with small chenille dots, or with velvet dots.
 Black veils continue to be in the high est favor; yet the women of fashion have their white, gray-mixed and pure gray beauty veils, for changes; and tulle veilings of open meshings have come out in red, blues, brown, violet, amethyst and all the fashionable cloth colors, fiecked with chenille dots. Scarf wells in imitation Mechlin and other of the delicate point laces are worn in high dress by fashionable women; and bor- dered lace veils, worn in the old flowing fashion, contest selection with the sim- pie recent veilings. Chiffon veilings of hemstitched finish, seen both plain and dotted, are those chiefly chosen for the purpose of protecting the complexion of wearers from the air, the sun and the cold. The chiffon veilings are in black, white, gray and all the colors approved for veils. A.>-,

From the day George Washington took the oath of office as president of the United States down to the in- augurahon of the coiner of the prase benevolent assimilation no chief magistrate of the country possessed such power as is now vested in Theo- dore Roosevelt thanks to the policy of imperialism, says New York exchange. This is an ugly fact which stares us in the face and which cannot be ig- nored. The executive in it's dealings with the Filipinos and the Porto Ricans is monarchial, not republican. We have here a radical change of a most revolutionary character. A de- cade ago it was undreamed of. To-day it is an accomplished fact. If,. before the twentieth century enters its teens, the hybrid executive-despotic abroad and hedged round with limitations at home-should cease to be hybrid and become in the United States as in the Philippines or Porto Rico despotism pure and simple, the transformation would be logical in consequence of the experiment. we are making in imperial ism. In absolutism the law of evolu- ton holds good as in other things. We have set our feet on paths that lead us away from the principles which, in the past, shaped our destiny as nation.

duct As soon as the steam has con- tinued sufficiently long, the can is talk en from the steam cooker and, by means of small, steel needle, hole is punched in the top of the can. This permits all the air to escape, and then. while still hot, this hole is again solder ed by the use of small piece of tin. The result of this extremely simple process is that the cooked meat is en- closed in a tin almost absolutely free from air. If the process is carried out correctly, and if the can is free from leaks, meat can be kept indefinitely without the least possibility of deteri- oration. A can of meat, when thus prepared, should be as wholesome af- ter ten years as the day following its manufacture.

INTESTINAL INDIGESTION.
A Condition Brought On by Failure of the Stomach to Perform
 Functions.

The stomach was formerly supposed to be the chief agent concerned in diges- tion, and all dyspepsia was referred to some defect or temporary weakness m that organ, and treated by means of remedies intended to supply the as- sumed deficiency in the supply of gas- tric juice.
 Important though the office per- formed by the stomach is, 1t has now been found not to be absolutely essen tial, since it has been shown that the food can be digested and made ready for the uses of the body in the intestine alone, says Youths Companion. In- deed, it is now known that the action of the intestinal secretions is the really essential part of digestion, the office of the stomach being merely to prepare the food and to start the chemical changes which are completed by the bile, pancreatic juice and intestinal secretions. Nevertheless intestinal di- gestion may be greatly disturbed by the failure of the stomach to do it's share, and it is very necessary before attempt ing to relieve intestinal dyspepsia to ap~ portion nicely the blame and to be sure that the stomach is not primarily at fault.
 Intestinal dyspepsia may, then, be secondary to stomach trouble, or it may depend upon disease of the liver, pan- creas. or the intestine itself. When any of these organs is diseased, it must be restored to health before the dyspepsia can be relieved: but often the latter is functional trouble due to faulty nerv- ous action, or perhaps to errors in diet. Tn such cases, which are not at all un- common in young children, the hope of relief rests rather upon proper regula- tion of the diet than upon medicine.
 No hard and fast rule can be laid down which will apply to all cases, but each one must be studied by itself and ex- perimented upon until the proper diet is found.
 Usually it will be discovered that too much starchy food or sugar is being taken. Through failure in the secretion of the so-called stenzyms," which con- vert these substances into others capable of absorption and appropriation by the tissues of the body, they remain in the intestine and undergo fermenta- ton. Thus they not only are not digest ed themselves, but the Fermentation which takes place interferes with the digestion of the other food matters. By reducing the quantity of these offend ing articles of diet, or by withholding them entirely for time, great relief or even cure may be effected.

MILK MADE INTO POWDER.
Recent Invention of Which Swedish AHAusafacturers Are Preparing
 to Take Advanta&e @

An important movement appears to he on foot in Sweden for the conversion or skinned or separated milk into a dry powder. by means of a machine called an 'exsiccator," invented by Dr. Martin Ekenberg. The price of one of these machines to evaporate 528 gallons of milk in ten hours is stated somewhat vaguely to be from z 220 to e280, says the London Standard. It was recently reported that ten sets of apparatus were being erected in Swedish dairy facto- ries and that inquiries about tae ma- chine from butter makers in Sweden and foreign countries were numerous
 The powder, when dissolved in prop CT quantity of water of the right temperature, resumes the appearance and other characteristics of milk. As the annual output of separated and skinned milk in Sweden is estimated at over 15S,O00,000 gallons, the supply of the powder from that country alone, if 1t proves commercial success, will be very large, and in all other countries where butter is extensively produced the difficulty of finding profitable use for this product is felt, as the return for 1t when 1t is used as food for calves or pigs is small. Although separated milk Is almost devoid of fat, its alimentary value is considerable, and, in the form Of powder, large quantity of it can be transported in a small compass. It is stated that the powder will keep good TOT an indefinitely long period.

Very few people have any idea Of the work of caring for meats. A writ CT in the Cosmopolitan says the work is most interesting and is carried on
 with the utmost cleanliness and the nroeess is one that has in view the re- taining of all the good properties of the meat within the walls of the can. When the meat has been cured, 1t re- ceives a slight boiling in water. The solid meat is now ready for the can, which has been previously steamed and thoroughly cleaned. The meat is stuffed into the can, small portion of soup is added, and the can is hermet- ically sealed If the product were then to be placed on the market, only par tially cooked meat would be given, and decomposition would set in almost within the same day. The process, however, does not end with this. These sealed tins are placed in steam cookers and exposed to a temperature sufficient not only to cook the meat thoroughly, but also to kill every germ that could possibly start decomposition of the pro,

LONG-LAsTTNG TASTES.
Elavors of Some Things Come Rack to One After the Lapse of
 Many Years.

Tt is curious thing how the fiavors of certain things will come back to man after the lapse of many years, said an observant man, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, sand often without any sort of an excuse, unless we are to rely upon rather finely spun theo- ries for an excuse. Many years ago took to cod liver oil. Men who have taken cod liver oil will understand that there is no special reason why one should forget the peculiar flavor of this article. But my experience is not sim ply question of memory. have ex- perienced the physical fact, not once, but a number of times since quit taking it. Even to-day the taste of cod liver oil came back to me, and it was as fresh on my palate as 1t was when last put it there Now, why is this? Why should taste cod liver oil years after I quit taking 1t? I cannot say. cannot be mistaken when say experienced all the physical symptoms of the taste. Were 1t not for this fact might account for it on the ground of association. Some fact. or something or other, intimately associated with the fact of taking cod liver oil, might have caused me to re- member rather vividly the taste. But things remembered, no matter how vivid the picture, no matter how intimate the associated fact which brings the picture back, are not as fresh as the things of the moment. taste cod liver oil, feel 1t on my palate, and, in fact, experience all the physical unpleasantness of the dose, and I'm sure the fact cannot be ac- counted for by the theory of the associa- tion of ideas It is up to the doctor"

 SCIENCE AND OLD AGE.
Only One Man i'm a Million at PresD ent Dies i'm a Natural
 Manner.

From 20 to 50 a man should live for himself and his family; from 50 to 100 for science and humanity, and after a hundred for the state. Honored, use- ful. in full possession of all his facul- ties at six score years and ten, the graybeard of the approaching future will be among the most enviable of mankind For the fear of death is an alteration, says Prof Ellie Metchnikoff. in Putnam's Magazine.
 The fact is that only one man Tn a million at present dies a natural death. We should live till 140 years of age. A man who expires at 70 or 80 is the victim of accident, cut off in the flower of his days, and he unconscious ly resents being deprived of the 50 years or so which nature owes him. Leave him little longer and in due time he will desire to die, as a child at dusk desires to sleep. The sandman will pass! All our instincts drop from us one by one. The child cries for mothers milk; the idea of such an ali ment is repugnant to the adult. The desire for sweets, for play, for love and love-making, for long walks and ad- ventures are all impulses that have their day and pass. And the wish to live is an instinct which fails also with satiety. Only at present none of us live long enough to be satiated with days

The most satisfactory feature of the last few days has been the easier rates for time money, writes Banker Henry Clews. This demonstrates reviving confidence on the part of bankers who are obliged to anticipate the future. While the high figure at which loans continue to stand in the weekly bank statement is matter of concern to some observers who have been antici- pating sharp contraction as the re- suit of recent liquidation, bankers do not show any anxiety in this respect. probably because they now have their resources unusually well in hand and profitably employed. There are three factors accounting for this high level of loans, which are sometimes over- looked, viz: the large increase of bank ing capital in New York, the large amount of railroad paper outstanding and the increased extent to which big industrial establishments under the trust system now borrow in New York instead of near the mills as formerly. A good bank statement is anticipated this week. partly on account of pay ment of the Pennsylvania loans and partly because treasury disbursements have been exceeding receipts for some time past Stock market liquidation must also have strengthened the banks much more than has yet appeared in the weekly statements. Besides these factors gold is now on the way here from Australia, and in the present con- dition of the European money markets any emergency here would quickly start gold imports to this center. The local money market, therefore, is in | much improved condition

lowe, Falls Iowa, Aug. 29.-The last
chapter in one of the bitterest county seat
fights Iowa has ever known is to be writ
ten this fall and an official call to the

ton of moving the county seat from Con-
cord to Garner is one of the last official
acts in the prolonged fight between Car
ner and Britt.
For years the courts have seen much Of
the war waged between the partizans of
the two towns. Politics in Hancock
county has hinged on the courthouse ques-
ton, and the friends of one place lost
no opportunity of knitting the supporters
of the rival town.
Garner finally built fine courthouse
and offered it to the county, but coun-
ter offer to surpass the structure was
made by Britt when the courts and the
voters stepped in and finally settled the
matter.
Britt gives up the fight and at the gen.
eral election on Nov. 3 the people of
Hancock county will vote on the reloca-
ton of the county seat changing it from
Concord small village near Garner, to
the town of Garner, where the officials
will occupy the courthouse which has
stood vacant for several years.

BANKERS CAN'T DO It.
They Will Not Handle Institution
Bonds in View of the Supreme
Courts Decision.
Extar Session, They Believe, Is the
Only Way Around Present
Difficulties.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 29.-The
friends of many of the North Dakota
state institutions were of the firm belief
that one object Of the convention Of the
state bankers in this city was to take
some action regarding the sore straits
the. institutions are in for funds, and
that the men of money would reach an
agreement to handle the institution
bonds regardless Of the action of the
state supreme court declaring them IL
legal.
All hopes Of any such action by the
bankers, however has been shattered.
On presenting the matter to them they
were all of one mind regarding the prop
osition, namely, that no banker would be
foolish enough to accept collateral
which the supreme court had decided
was not good. One man seemed to ex-
press the idea of the half dozen or more
who were asked for an opinion, by say =
ing that the bankers received s9z enough
worthless paper without taking some they
knew was not good.
Those who expressed themselves on the
subject agree that a special session
seemed to be the only way out Of the diff
ficulty. And they were also OF the op1n-
ion that the man who started the report
that the bankers would tide over the
shortage until a session of the legislature
had done so, was certainly not In ear
nest, and intended it for a joke.
