Tn states where the cities have not full power to establish and operate water and lighting plants the power should be given and in all states the power of the cities to grant franchises should be so restricted that no such franchise could be disposed of with out the consent of majority of the voters, says William J. Bryan in q recent issue of the Commoner. Even then the term 0f the franchise should be a short one and the charter should provide for the taking over Of the plant by the city at any time upon the payment of sum equal to the value of the property exclusive of the franchise. No state ought to either sell franchise or give it away under conditions that will make it necessary to pay for the franchise if the city af- rewards desires to embark upon the ownership and operation of the plant. The value of a franchise is due to the increase in the population, and the city ought not to be compelled to pay for an increase that does not repre- sent brain or labor expended or capi- tai invested by the cooperation, Pub lie sentiment is ripe for the municipal ownership of water works and light ing plants. While the sentiment is not so strong in favor of the munich pal ownership of street car lines. it is only a question of time when this will also be considered within the scope
 of the city's activity.

It's hysterical headlines and succo- tash makeup doom it to eventual disaster. It is perhaps a fad with some just at the present time, but the man who likes his reading matter furnished so that he can enjoy it with as little effort as possible positively dislikes freak makeup in his news paper.

Every living body requires a

body is forced to subsist on lis own

Of strength are 50 rapid that life has
rarely been maintained longer than
ten days when neither food nor
drink was taken. If, however, an
abundance Of water is drunk, the
wasting is greatly retarded, and life
can be supported for much longer
time, proyIdcd that the body be
kept at complete rest. Thus re-
strictcd, fasting is often IA valuable
adjunct to other measures IN the
treatment Of disease. y limitation
of the diet is more frequently re-
