INVITED TO CONFERENCE
WITH THE PRESIDENT.

Representative Lacy. chairman OF
the committee on public lands, and his
colleagues. Messrs. Mondell of Wyo
ming and Jones of Washington have
been invited to conference with Presi.
dent Roosevelt upon pending LAND legis,
lation.
One of The bills 10 be discussed, It is
understood, is the senate bill already
passed by that body, providing for the
protection of wild animals, birds and
fish in forest reserves of the United
States. This measure is one Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's pet hobbies. 1t ap-
pears that while it has passed the SEN
ate considerable opposition has de-
veloped against 1t in the house.
The opposition in the house is be-
cause under its provisions it would
suspend the operation of state laws for
the protection of game insofar as for
est reserves are concerned and give
the government entire control of the
protection of game animals, birds and
fishes found within forest reserves.
1t is feared that such division of
authority might serve to practically
nullify state game laws in many states.

Tendency Of the Times.

This tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that med
ical men have to contend with, a be
prevented by the use Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always
results from a cold or from an attack
of influenza (grip), and 1t has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully prov
en- In many thousands of cases in which
this remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip in
recent years, and car be relied upon
with implicit confidence. Pneumonia
often results from q slight cold when
no danger Is apprehended until 1t is
suddenly discovered that there is fe-
e and difficulty in breathing and
pains in the chest, then 1t is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. Be
on the safe side and take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
cold is contracted. 1t always cures.

New Fraternity.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 18.-It has
been announced at the White house
that President Roosevelt would ap.
point James r. Garfield of Ohio com
missioner Of corporations under the
act creating the new department of
commerce.
Garfield is a son of the late Presi.
dent Garfield and is at present a mem.
Der Of the civil service commission.
Mr.. Garfield is an Ohioan by birth and
residence. For some time the presi-
dent has had him under consideration
in connection with the position of
commissioner of corporations. which is
regarded as second only to that of
secretary in importance in the new
department.
1t is not unlikely that the appoint
ment of one or two other officials of
, new department may go to the
senate at the same time, but that has
not been determined upon definitely.
Mr.. Garfield has accepted the prefer
of the commissionership and will en-
ter upon his new duties as soon as his
appointment has been confirmed by
the senate. The salary of commission
err of corporations is $4,000 a year.

LAW PLEASES KNOX
ANTI TRUST MEASURE sATIsFAc.
TORY TO THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL.
Says Prompt Response to Presidents
Request Is Highly Gratifying
Liquidation 10 Concise In It's Terms
But Comprehensive In It's Scope.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Attorney Gen
eral Knox, who is known to have pro
posed many clauses of the antitrust
bills recently passed, being asked the
administrations opinion on the legis'
lation, said:
THE legislation affecting the trusts
passed at this session of congress is
satisfactory to the administration and
the prompt response to the presidents
requests is highly gratifying. A long

The Effect Of Tobacco.

The subject Of tobacco Is neces.
sarily included in this chapter. Like
all elements which have an effect upon
the nerves. 1t differs widely in its &C.
ton upon different individuals and no
sweeping statements can be made. Up
on most constitutions its action is del
eterious. 1t Is always injurious before
the period of complete development
and cannot be used before the age of
rs without harm. DR.. Seaver, direc-
tor Of the physical laboratory 1t Yale.
tabulated the record nf the students
entering that university aLring nine
years. when all the young men were
examined and measured. The smok-
ers averaged fifteen months older
than the o smokers. They were also
shorter In stature. Nicotine i~nterferes
with growth, and its effect In that re-
gard is very measurable. At Yale
during the four years course the nom
users Of tobacco, although taller when
they enter, gain "a per cent more in
height and 26.7 per cen more in girth
OF chest than do the habitual users.
DR.. Hitchcock of Amherst college
found eve greater differences. The
difference in the lung capacity is very
striking in the two classes and has
been noticed by all observers. 1t
shows the effect Of tobacco on the
respiration, nicotine on the mental
processes. 1t is more difficult to inter-
pref the meaning Of statistics. Out of
the highest scholarship men at Yale
only Ave per cent use tobacco, wl,!e
of the men who do not get appoint
ments. sixty per cent use It: 1t is not
necessary to interpret this as meaning
that mental decrepitude follows the
use of tobacco by young men, for there
are other factors to be considered; but
1t is certainly not conductive to the
best work.
