Anton Heindl. the musical director.
tells a story of which Thomas @. Sea
brooke vas the victim. 1t was in q
big New York production. Richard
earle and Seabrooke. with some one
else. made up a funny trio. Every one
tool a hand at writing encore verses,
and the more they wrote the funnier
the verses seemed. About six were
composed, and all the business worked
out with great hilarity.
The opening night came, and the
number began. The second verse was
sung, and two of the trio left the stage.

National Home for Elks neal Rich

Rulers Tanning and Rickett, Judges
Fisher, Of New York, and Melville, of
California, after which resolutions were
adopted. The grand lodge considered
changes in the ritual. 1t is settled that
there will be no change from annual to
biennial or %triennial reunions at this
meeting. Preceding races and field
sports there was a mammoth barbecue
at Oakley race track, where over 10000
pounds of beef was served and burgoo
was made in several kettles holding
800 gallons each, while other refresh
ments We're without limit. Similar en-
tertainments Were elsewhere furnished
free to all wearing Elk badges.
The grievance committee reported
t~wenty-six cases, among them being
the we'll known charges against Norris
town, Pa, for alleged violation OF the
law. The Norristown case has been
continued for three years and Is still
unsettled.
Against Street Fairs.
The lodge at Peoria H., charged
with giving a street fair, claimed it had
contracts before the bar was placed On
street carnivals. The matter was refer
red back to the committee as were most
of the grievances.
In the field. sports at Oakley race
track during the afternoon all the auto
mobile and trotting races were won by
local people. The chief event in the ath-

won by e. A. Doty. of Chillcothe, o.;
Mart Langdon, Dubuque. second.
The awarding committee yesterday
gave $500 to the Chillcothe Elks for
bringing in the largest number of lad

another $500 for having the largest
number of ladies in the parade We'd
nesday. The awarding committee be-
ing unable to decide the contest against
Manila and Los Angeles for the largest
lodge having the greatest mileage has
referred the matter to the general local
committee on arrangements. The Cali
fornians claim that they expended S12,-
600 in chartering a special train to
bring a large attendance here for the
prize. when the sixteen men of the Ma
Mia lodge are government employees in
the Philippines and have been travelling
in the United States for months. There
are so many questions involved in the
contest that the general committee
does not expect to settle this contro-
versy until next week.

INSECTS FROM CHEMICALS.
Indiana Scientist Claims Remarkable
Discovery.

~ S'oSONS'ys
Anderson, Ind, July 21.-That ne has
succeeded in generating or in creating
animal matter in the form of insect lie
from a chemical compound Is now as
serted by DIR. Charles w. Littlefeld, OF
Anderson, and at his laboratory yes
terday he gave demonstrations of his
discovery.
DIR. Littlefeld, as a scientist. recently
attracted attention by his claim to the
discovery of life germs in common
crystals OF salt, after. they were SUBJ
jected to a simple compound of chem
icals. Ammonia, alcohol and distilled
water, added to a quantity OF salt, ana
the whole inclosed in a glass tube Tor
a period of about one hour, created the
foundation or the beginning OF life, ac-
cording to DIR. Littleield, and his dis
covery was credited by many scientists.
Since that time DR. Littlefield has de-
sired 10 advance his theories and eX-
periments, hoping 10 develop animal
matter in living, animated forms.
Yesterday he asserted that he had
succeeded beyond all doubt in bringing
forth animal life from chemicals. A
few drops of the chemical liquid was
Dll uIlutT IL BoN Ci
If boiling and hopping about over the
LIQUID were innumerable objects, APP
pearing in shape and action like a gnat
or flea of the smallest possible size.
Mr.. Littlefield said the comparison of
his chemical made insects with gnats
or neas is too great in size, for h in
sects from the liquid We're, he said, zoo
times smaller than they appeared thru
the microscope. He was happy over ms
experiment. which. he thought, you'd
interest students Of science and prove
c~onclusively that animal matter, or life.
can be developed from chemical COM
pounds.
DR.. Littlef1eld said he will no X
plain the ingredients nor quantity re-
auired in making his insect bearing
fluid. The next step will be to nourish
the insects and have them mature IN
size until it may be determined what
species Of life they represent or hat
might be propagatei from them.
DR.. Littlefield is q resident of Alex
andria, but removed his office and lab
oratory to Anderson about one year
ago. He has since been working on the
experiments.

aWhat is Sauce For the Goose

The Britishers are right. Not u single
MAJ of our team used service rifles,
and the men on the British team were
well aware of the fact during the whole
match. AND. WHAT IS MORE. The
ENGLISHMEN, THE CANADIANS
AND THE AUSTRALIANS DID NOT
USE SERVICE RIFLES EITHER.
Now, if the American marksmen can
be disqualified and proclaimed to the
world at large to be unsportsmanlike
why should not the same measure of
censure apply to the Englishmen, the
Canadians and the Australians? Ii any
of these three countries had won the
trophy would our men have climbed to
the house tops and route a pitifut
story of their wrongs? Most emphat-
ically not.

In England it is possible to take any

YOU WILL NOT

be deceived. That there are cheats
and frauds in plenty everybody
knows; but it is seldom or never
that any large business house is
guilty of them, no matter what
line of trade it follows. There
can be no permanent success of
any kind based on dishonesty or
deception. There never was, and
never will be. The men who try
that are simply fools and soon
come to grief, as they deserve.
Now many persons are, neverthe-
less, afraid to buy certain adver-

are they slow to place confidence

is as safe and genuine an article
to purchase as flour, silk or cot
ton goods from the mills of
manufacturers with a worldwide
reputation. We could not afford
to exsggerate it's qualities or mis-
represent it in the least; and it
is not necessary. It is palatable
