A National Quarantine.

At the Chattanooga conference on the
subject of quarantine and foreign immigra-
ton Gov. Blanchard of Louisiana favored
and Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi opposed
federal control OF quarantine. The gov
ernor of Mississippi took his stand on state
rights, and feared that they would be in
yaded and weakened by the policy pro-
posed. Not SO the governor of Louisiana,
who although as firm a democrat as his
brother executive of Mississippi. sees in
national supervision In matters of quaran-
tine the best interests of all the people
Gov. Blanchard is probably less sensitive
on this subject than Gov. Vardaman be-
cause of his experience as a national legis-
.lator. He has served in both houses of
Congress. and has seen the national gov
ernment, notably In the case of rivers and
harbors, perform the most valuable work
against which an academic Interpretation
OF national powers was sometimes invoked.
If the south supports the Blanchard view
of this question in Congress she will greatly
benefit and confer a. benefit on the rest of
the country.

Cadets and Fighting Spirit

II has been definitely ascertained that one
or the Annapolis cadets died from injuries
received In fist fight with another mid
shipman at the Naval Academy which had
been arranged to settle personal differ
ence between the young men. The affair Is
TO be thoroughly investigated and there is
much comment on the subject In military
service circles. One Of. the Washington
dispatches contains the following para
graph:
What effect the death of young Branch

settllng disputes among midshipmen at An

and navy officers are much Interested
Most or them declare II would be a mis-
take to make fighting punishable by dis
missal. because there would then be no
way In which to develop the fighting spirit
and that any other rule would be an off,
cial sanction OF fighting. which would not
be advisable. The opinion OF most officers
Is that the midshipmen should be per-
mitted to go on fighting, but on the

likely to become unduly stirred up over this
fatality because IL occurred in the Naval
Academy. while II II had happened in one

England's Skeleton.

The struggle Of the unemployed of Lon
don for relief continues to suggest historic
parallels. First came the march of the
wives of these unfortunates TO the govern
ment offices to lay their case before Premier
Balfour. That strongly suggested the visit
OF the Frenchwomen to Versailles in 17S9
Last night. at the lord mayors banquet
the most brilliant and formal OF all the off,
cial occasions OF the season, the premier
traced a message to the British people on
the walls in letters OF fire. Somehow or
other the feast Of Belshazzar arises in the
mind.
Verify the skeleton that has so long been
hidden In the British closet is being brought
to view. 1t grinned hideously last night
at the banquet, where were gathered the
the table was laden with priceless dishes,
the walls hung with symbols OF vast re-
sources. Yet in that assemblage the prime
minister OF England ignoring precedents
and the tradition that domestic questions
are tabooed at these banQuets, put in the
place OF first Importance the question OF the
poor of the capital.
Apparently the chief difficulty in the way
of an economic solution of this problem is
employment for the wretched tens Of thou
sands huddled in London. without hope

dens for future disposal. That Is to say
the premier Is indisposed to go beyond the

Save the Game!

In another part OF The Star today appears
a letter from Mr.. T. Edward Clark. well
known as an enthusiastic sportsman. ap-
peaiing for an agreement to abstain from
hunting during the present season. in order
that the small game already seriously de-
pleted by the ravages of last winter, may
have a chance to recuperate. There is no
gainsaylng Mr.. Clarks argument that II
the amateur gunners OF this region do not
in this manner undertake to preserve the
game there will soon be a total extermina-
tion of rabbits. partridges and other small
creatures much desired by hunters. Last
winter played havoc with these denlzens of
the fields and woods. They were unable to
obtain food and many were frozen. New
ertheless. the pot-hnters persisted even
then in killing all they could find and are
now at work beating the fields and brush
for the few survivors.
1t is quite possible to conceive the total ex-
tlnctionof the rabbit and partridge and other
game in this vicinity If general action Is not
taken. through agreement by the amateurs
or legislative prohibition of the profession
ais. Indeed. there is danger enough to war
rant the latter expedient in any case. Even
II the amateurs do realize the gravity Of
the case and pledge themselves to abstain
from hunting for ono or two seasons the
pot-hunters Will sweep the field as thor
oughly as ever. and perhaps will be encour-
aged to greater efforts by the abstention of
the sportsmen.
There is nothing more desolating than the
thought that the game has been extermi-
mated. even In the regions adjacent to large
cities. To walk through the woods and
fields and see no sign of bird or animal life
Is one of the saddest of experiences 1t be-
speaks the rapacity and savagery of man.
II is an actual deprivation, even to those
who never fire guns.
Mr.. Clark's suggestion should be taken at
once into consideration II any good is to be
accomplished this year. The hunting sea-
son Is now at its height, and every day
means the destruction of hundreds, per-
haps thousands. of birds and animals with

iou have all heard o. the city of
Rome, where the Pope dwel,s.
So OF course, you understand that
the people VINO used to be known as
"omans must have lived in Rome.
Wen, until some hundred years ago.
the Romans were the most powerful
nation of people on the earth.
And so, although there is nothing
left them now, we naturally feel a
great interest in the stories that are
told US about the things that these
Romans used to do and say and think.
One of the most interesting things
they thought was that there was a
god-Janus by name-who was the
king who helped or hindered the be-
ginning of everything new.
So they never began anything with
out first praying: "Oh, Janus, help
us in beginning this new thing"
The Romans were very fond of max.
ing pictures and statues, and many OF
these represented Janus as they
thought he ought to look.
AS you see in this little picture, he
has two faces, one (the old one) look
ing backward and seeing all the past
the other (the young one) looking for
ward and seeing all the future.
In his right hand he has a key tc
open the new year with, and also tc
lcck it again when it comes to its end
He has a sceptre, too, for, as l have
already said, he was king of all be
ginnings.
It has been said that Janus had this
motto: Everything depends on The
beginning"
Not bad motto for us, is it, boys
and girls?

RECIPES.

Cheese Straws.-Roll scraps of puff
paste thin, and sprinkle with nut
cheese, grated; fold, roll out, and
sprinkle again, and repeat the pro-
cess. Then place on ice to harden.
When cold, roll in rectangular shape
one-eighth of an inch thick; place it
on a baking pan, and with pastry
cutter dipped in hot water, cut into
strips four or five inches long, and
less than a quarter of an inch wide.
Bake in a moderate oven.
Easter Lily cake.-Bake sunshine
cake in layer tins not more than one
inch thick when done; also bake an
gel food in the same way. With
fancy pastry cutter of lily design cut
the white cake into small cakes.
Cut the sunshine cake in the
same way, and put one of the yellow
flowers on top of the white, with
ghite filling between. Cover the top
of the sunshine layer with white icing.
or if the white flower comes on top,
cover the white with yellow tinted
icing. The cakes might be served
separately with the lily formed from
licing put on the top using white for
the petals and yellow for the centers.
Tomato sauce.-Put half a can OF
tomatoes over the fire in stewpan,
with a quarter of minced onion,
little parsley, a bay leaf and half a
teaspoonful of salt Boil about twenty
minutes. Remove from the fire and
strain through a sieve Melt in an
other pan tablespoonful of cocoanut

When Trees Sleep.

1t seems strange to think of the
great strong live oaks, or the busy
little fruit trees, that give us our ap-
pies and oranges, ever needing sleep,
the same as boys and girls, and yet it
is a fact that trees and plants have
their regular times for going to sleep
They need to rest from the work of
growing and to repair and oil the ma
chinery of life. Some plants do all
their sleeping in the winter, while the
ground is frozen and the limbs are
bare of leaves. In tropical countries,
where the snow never falls, and it is
always growing weather, the trees re
pose during the rainy season or dur
ing the periods of drought. They al
ways choose the most unfaYorable
working time for doing their sleep,
just as man chooses the night, when
he cannot see to work.-Exchange

Nluht an and consumption.

The old fallacy that night air is a
dangerous miasm it not yet dead.
Much has been said about fresh air,
outdoor life and sunshine for tubercu-
iosis. Many victims have experienced
the healing power in these natural
agencies. But too often the consump-
tive, after a day in the sunshine or
ia the cold, crisp winter air, retires
for a nights sleep in a dark, stuffy,
alright room. Don't be afraid of
night air.
Open the bedroom to all the sun
possible during the day. The room
wiz then be dry, though cold. Damp
ness is dangerous and more apt to oc-
cur in a closed than in a wide-open
room. Keep at least one window in

Insidious PoIsons.

The poisonous effects resulting
from the use of tea and coffee are
very decidedly manifest to one who
has given thought to this question,
and has made careful observations in
relation to it, The sallow complexion,
common among women of the higher
classes who have reached middle life,
the almost universal nervousness
among American women, and many
common digestive disorders, and the
increasing prevalence of nervous or
sick headaches, afford to the expert
enced physician ample evidence of the
toxic or poisonous character of tea,
coffee, and the allied beverages, cocoa
and chocolate. The well-known eff
feet of these drugs in producing wake
fulness, banishing as if by magic the
sensation of fatigue, affords sufficient
evidence of their poisonous character.
No one would doubt for a moment the
poisonous character of a drug capa-
BILE of producing irresistible drowsi-
ness in person who is not weary.
The power of drug to produce wake
fulness in a person strongly inclined
to sleep as the result of fatigue, is
equally evidence of its poisonous char
acter.

Stomach.

to think that the stomach is anything
more than a receptacle for things that
have been chewed. They get hold of
something that tastes good and swal-

something more. That might be all
