ago with sessions morning and afternoon in
the Trocadero. This meeting has previous
ly been held in New, York or Philadelphia,
and this year it was to have been held in
Boston. Owing to some entretemps, how
ever, the meeting could not be held there,

Frederic Talbot is president, had the honor
of entertaining the delegates. =
! There were present the national officers,
the presidents of the branches throughout
the country, and the officers of the ProVi-
dence branch, together with the executive
committee. ~
The sessions were held in the empire par
] Tor, which was beautifully decorated for the
occasion with begonias, palms and fern.
/ The most important action was the re-
election Of the board of national officers
for 1903-19O4, which are as follows: Honar-
al president, Mrs. Charles D. Hamill; ma
tional secretary, Mrs. H NJ Fisher, national
| treasurer, Miss S. B. Hodge. n:

tiently all day in the market place

ronize the gambling booths and drink

money left, they all get drunk to-
gether; and then spend three or four
days more on the road, travelling home

perience as soon as they can scare up
anything more that is saleable. The
homes of these people, who comprise
the bulk Of the population numerically,
are mere huts, rooted with grass and
reeds, with holes cut in the thatch
though which the smoke may escape,
if it will. There are no windows in
the walls and usually the entrance has
no other door than bit Of brush set
up for the occasion, a stolen board, or
an old blanket slung across. Mother
earth furnishes the only flooring; chairs
are unknown; and a bench or two, with
a stationary table of solid adobe, or
few rough planks nailed together, are
considered ample furnishing. A pile of
a luxurious bed; but oftener there are
no beds at all, the people lying down
on the ground wherever they like while
the pigs, fowls, goats, donkeys, -what-
ever "live stock the family possesses
besides fieas, lice, etcetera-go in and
out at will, as much at home inside
the premises as any of the aother occu-
pants.

ONE PROTOCOL SUBMITTED.

preferential treatment and protocols
signed for the settlement of the claims
themselves, including those of the al
lied and the unallied powers.
The British protocol provides for the
reference of the contention of the allies
for preferential treatment to The
Hague for settlement, for the payment
by Venezuela to Great Britain of $27,-
500 cash and for the immediate raising
of the blockade. The matter of the
adjudication of the claims and the col
lection of the claims and the collection
of the 80 per cent out of which they
are to be paid, has been left for the
second protocol.
Italy, it has been learned, wishes to
have inserted in her protocol an article
providing for a change in her treaty of
amity with Venezuela so as to include
the Favored nation" clause such as the
other powers possess. Mr. Bowen has
explained that while he is willing to use
his influence to secure this, he can dc
nothing more in the protocol than rec
ommend it as the matter Is entirely ir-
relevant to the present controversy.
There are also other provisions in the
italian protocol which do not meet the
approval of Mr.. Bowen and the italian
ambassador has cabled to Rome for per-
mission to withdraw them.
Regarding the German protocol little
is known except that it is along the
general lines of the other two. Several
changes are likely. 1t Is understood
that the German protocol will be some
what shorter and more concise than the
British, and probably will not contain
more than eight articles. 1t will pro-
vide for an initial payment of the same
amount as those of Italy and Great
Britain. The last named country will re-
ceive its first payment in cash, Ger
many and Italy being content to re-
ceive theirs thirty days after the sign.
ing OF the protocols.
The facts developed to-day that some
of the unallied claimant powers are
considering the matter of sharing the
expense which Venezuela will be put to
in carrying her case to The Hague since
a decision would affect their claims.

THE LUNCH QUESTION.
How a Big Chicago Firm Solved 1t.

How a Big Chicago Firm Solved 1t.
So many employees "bolt the lunch''
and eat what they should not, that they
soon show the effect in nervousness and
dyspepsia. This has attracted the at
tention of managers of the big stores
and shops. In one Chicago firm an ex-
pertinent on some of the girls resulted
in complete solution of the question.
The woman that made the experiment
tells the tale as follows: about year
ago became alarmed at the state of
my daughters health. She was en-
ployed by a big firm here and for some
reason steadily lost flesh, grew very
nervous, had no appetite and could not
sleep.
Questioning her I found she ate but
little lunch for at that busy hour she
was seldom served promptly and the
time being short she just 'bolted' the
food and rushed back. She ate very
light breakfasts and I could see she
suffered from lack Of nourishment. L
felt responsible for this and finally got
her some Grape-Nuts for breakfast.
IT also got a neat leather case hold
ing two pint TASKS. One filled with
milk. the other with cold Postum Coffee
which had been properly made. She
also carried package of Grape-Nuts.
The Postum she drank iced with a
rash Of lemon. She followed the Grape
Nuts with some fruit and this made up
her lunch.
"In spite of the warm weather she
improved greatly in two weeks time.
She gained in flesh, her nerves were
steady and she slept sweetly at night.
She never felt the old weakness from
hunger.
"In a short time few other girls in
the office tried it and the effect was so
marked upon all that still others were
persuaded. Finally room was cleared
out and the one hundred and odd girls
were served daily with Grape-Nuts and
hot Postum. 1t was a revolution but
the manager saw the good result and
adopted the plan, greatly to the benefit
of the health of the employees and at
saving in expense" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

A bill providing for the taxation of
mining stock vas passed by the house
and after being sent to the senate was
stolen, the theft being discovered when
within a few hours of adjournment.
The writer recalls a time when it was
discovered within a few hours of the
close of a session that a school book
bill had been stolen. The original bill
was rushed to the %engrossing and en-
rolling committee and in a very short
time was put through and the bill be-
came a law. It would have been a
good thing if the senators could have
exerted themselves and saved this most
important revenue bill. It is true that
mines are still subject to assessment
at their full value as other property is,
but it is expecting too much Of our
state board of equalization to hope to
sec rich corporations, either railroad
or mining, compelled to pay their fair
share Of taxes. They never do it in
any state and we need not expect
South Dakota to be an exception.

If but one educational institution in
the state could be provided with funds
for building purposes, the Aberdeen
normal is the one that should have
been chosen. The fact that the house
at Pierre passed the bill appropriating
thirty-five thousand dollars for a dor.
mitory shows that the legislature rec
ognized the needs of the institution.
A normal school without a dormitory
should not be sustained. Such a school
is attended largely by young ladies,
who should not be required to "hunt
up boarding places in the downtown
districts. The place for young girls
attending a normal school is within a
dormitory, presided over by some
member of the faculty. No educa-
tional institution in the state was more
in need of funds for building purposes
than the Aberdeen institution,-Wa.

SOCIAL E N CLUB.
An able Paper read by w. r. nason
Last flonday Evening

There was a very good attendance
at the meeting of the Social Science
Club on Monday evening. The paper
read vas the Evolution and Mission
of the Family, by w. F. Mason. The
discussion was led by Judge Morgan
and G. G. Burnette, and then very gen.
orally participated in by all the mem
bers present. This paper was purely
of a historic nature and was certainly
a revelation to the members of the
club who were fortunately present 10
hear it. 1t was treated from the scien-
tiic stand point. Account was given
of the various forms of marriage which
investigators have determined to have
becn in existence at various periods
OF the long history of the race from
the polyandrous which prevailed
among the most primitive people to
the modern homogeneous family. The
paper was the product of much re.
search and thought. The satisfaction
OF hearing it and the discussion which
followed convinces one that this Social
Science Club is fully worth while.
The next meeting will occur on
March % and the paper will be by
Prof. w. E. Johnson on the subject OF
irrigation.

The legislature which recently
closed its labors in this state cannot
be justly charged with having done
nothing, and it is to be hoped that
too much has not been done. It does
seem though that too much has been
done in the way Of appropriations and
too little in the direction Of providing
revenues with which to pay them. One
thing is certain, the taxpayers Of the
state are not going to be over pleased
with the idea Of paying nearly $780,
700 within the coming two years for
military pomp and parade. For an
arT.ory at the state university the sum
OF $4,000, for the maintenance Of the
militia the sum Of $4,000. These
6g-ses should be considered In cor.
nection with the fact that the total
oum Of all appropriations is largely IN
iDxcsss Of the possible revenues Of the
Dtate for the next two years.

for eight years. At 10 cents per kilo-
watt the city is able to pay all eN-
penses and lay aside S per cent for a
sinking fund. The plant was erected
and is being maintained at a disad-
vantage. 1t is located SO far out of
town that there is q less 4 the trans.
mission of from 10 t - per cent, and
drayage of fuel causes a large item
of expense.
At Ortonville, a municipal plant is in
operation. At the start it was built on
TOO small a scale, furnishing only $50
lights, but has been enlarged to fur
nish 1000 lights. Electricity is furnish
ed at - cents per kilowatt, but a t.
candle light is furnished night and
morning at Is cents per light fiat rate.
The service is satisfactory and yields
some profit to the city.
At Brookings, a plant is furnishing
light at 12R cents a kilowatt, giving
satisfactory service.
A municipal plant is in operation at
Webster, said to be a model. The sup
%erintendent OF this plant recently told
a citizen Of Aberdeen that with the
business that a plant would have in
aberdeen, light could be furnished at
10 cents per kilowatt at a profit. At
Webster it is furnished at 1914 cents.
