AN OBJECT LESSON

A physician puts the query. Have
you never noticed in any large restau-
rant at lunch or dinner time the large
number Of hearty vigorous old men at
tne tables men whose ages run from
oy 10 so years. many of them bald and
eu perhaps gray, but nor of ism
feeble or senile2
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as 20 nave escaped your observation or
comment but nevertheless it is an oh
Ject lesson which means something.

ola Fellows are eating you wiz observe

deadly broiled lobster is not altogether
ignored
The point Of all this is that vigorous
old age depends upon good digestion and
plenty Of wholesome food and not upon
dieting and an endeavor to live upon
bran crackers.
There is q certain class Of food cranks

SECTION MEN ON a STRIKE
Would Not Stand Cut of 25 Cents
IN Their Wages.

Every section hand on the Pittsburg
Kan, division Of the Frisco system quit
work Saturday morning at 5 o'clock
The cause of the strike is cut IN their
wages They have been receiving S1-50
per day and a reduction to S1.23 was
announced Saturday Meetings were
held by the men and 1t was agreed to
strike rather than accept the cut. Sew
eral months ago the section men were
granted an advance from S125 to S1.50
per day and the advance was the cause
of much rejoicing. The action of the
company in reducing the wages is not
understood. The strike is general over
the system, where the reduction was
made and word was received from
Cherokee and Weir City today stating
that the men were out there. Road
master Schrantz, who has charge of al
section men on this division. between
Fort Scott and Alton, Arcadia and
Cbesryvale and Girard and Joplin, was
out Of the city today. conferring with
the division officials regarding the trou-
bic. At this time of year the roadlbed
is always soft, ,"' and in bad shape,
and the strike Of the section man leaves
the road in n critical condition. Within
a few days the roadbed viii be in such
shape that unless the section men are
back TO work. the trains viii have to
run slow to avoid disaster.

Cunning for Erie Stock.

New York Jan. 2-Increasingly
heavy transactions in Erie stock at con

of Wall street tongues wagging. Most
of the Wall street talk centered around
the possibility Of one or more interests

FOR control of the property. In some i'm

opinion was held that it was quite likely
that the whole movement in Erie was

GREAT CONCLAVE
NOW IN SESSION
CONTINUED from First Page.)

Just before going into his cell a
prominent cardinal threw an interest
ing side light upon the chances Of
Rampola. Leo's secretary of state
has been pcrsistently abused recently
by the government papers for his tenn
poral power policy.
Il am not suro,' said the cardinal,
that the public attacks upon Cardinal
Rampolla by the government are not
inspired with a view to working up
among Catholics and cardinals a spirit
of enthusiasm for him which might
greatly increase his chances of cleo
tion. Indeed, | am pretty certain that
the Italian government would not be
at all sorry to see Cardinal Rampolla
wear the tiara, as at heart / do not be-
lieve the government has any serious
disposition to alter the existing rela-
tions between the Vatican and the
Quirinal."
There is no doubt that Cardinal
RampOlla, who is so well known to
all the cardinals because of the posi-
tion he held under the late pope has a
strong following. but whether it is
even approximately strong enough to
bring him within measurable distance
of the papal throne will only be re-
vealed when the first ballot Is taken.
Cardinal Serahno Vannutelli was GER
tain, according to a statement of one of
those who entered the conclave, to
secure 10 votes at the first ballot He
IS regarded as particularly friendly to
Ireland and it is understood has the
support of Cardinal Logue, archbishop
of Armagh, and It is also said, OF Car
dinal Gibbons
Before entering the conclave Car
dinal Gibbons denied all interviews al
legged to have been given out by him
while in Rome and also all published
accounts OF conversations he is alleged
to have had with private individuals
4 He referred especially to the state
ments of the Italia to the effect that
he had criticised the policy of Ram
pola.

lege by mutual agreement took will

ployes of the vatican.
The Italie declares that the note t
the powers drafted by the congrega
ton of cardinals contains a stronge
protest against the condition of tn
papacy than did the note of 1878, an
dashes to the ground the hopes c
those who have been looking for
reconciliation between the Vatican an
