the home of Mrs. Jennie Parker. AS
the year grows toward the close, each
set of hostesses outdoes the one they
follow, until the banquet of Belshazzal

banquet of Queen Esther into mere
lunch. These ladies, Mesdam es

several new dainties. 1t was suggested
that souvenir cook book be made

For Deep Waterway.

The lakes-to-gulf waterway conven-
ton, in which Rock Island will be well
represented, will meet in ST. Louis to-
morrow with the knowledge that its
work has the opposition of the chair
man of the house committee on rivers
and harbors. The most important task
of the convention, says the st. Louis
Republic, will be to provide ways and
means tc overcome this opposition,
which, it may be presumed. is reinforc-
ed from other branches of the house
organization.
Congressman Theodore E. Burton of
the Cleveland district in Ohio is chair
man of the rivers and harbors commit
tee. Though he is preparing to report
a bill before the holidays carrying some
$60,000,00 for river and harbor work,
he looks coldly upon the Mississippi
above the mouth of the Ohio. He has
given notice that his committee has
no money for the st. Louis-Chicago
deep waterway at the coming session.
The hearty approval given the lakes
to-gulf deep waterway by so great a
master of transportation as James J.
Hill ought to help powerfully in over
ject will encounter in the present con-
gress.
In an address delivered in Chicago
on Saturday night Mr.. Hill urged the
necessity for 15-foot channel in the
Mississippi from ST Louis southwark.
AS the head of one of the greatest
railroad systems in the country, Mr..
Hill may be supposed TO know what he
is talking about. He knows that the
railroads cannot haul all the freight
that is offered without unreasonable
delay, and he knows that such water
way would help rather than injure the
roads.
This weeks convention must prepare
for a strong and persistent fight in be-
half of the commerce and industry of
the middle west. The fight will not be
made without powerful allies. but it
must be well organized and we'll sus-
tanned in order to succeed.

What Sleep Really is.

Do you know what sleep is?
You thought it just lying down and
closing your eyes and-well,, just
sleep, didn't you?
Now, here's the latest explanation
afforded by science.
Sleep is induced by the internal Sc
cret;on of the pituitary gland, and,
as a matter of fact, somnolence is
characteristic of tumors in the pitu-
itary body In sleeping sickness a
hypertrophic pituitary body is found
Get that?
1t is also a fact that certain intoxi-
cations and administrations expert
mentally induce hypersecretion of the
pituitary and therefore cause somno-
lency. which is also found in all con-
ditions causing congestion of the
hypophosis.
On the other hand, insomnia is noted
in degeneration of the pituitary. in the
late stages of acromegaly, in arteries
clerosis and other conditions which
favor atrophy of the pituitary.
This ought to put you to sleep any
how

$50,000,000 in a splendid fight against
the diseases of plants and animals.
The fearful wastes of death and
sickness and the dreadful havoc
wrought can never be described. The
fiercest battle ever fought left no such
bloody trails, even when the mailed
hand of war smote cruelest and harsh
est, as the crimson boulevards-ten-
iots-wide-traced by the
passing finger touches of pneumonia
or consumption wastes within a

Herald. Along these CHASTITY boule-
wards will be strewn, before II months
are gone, more blasted hopes and brok-
en- hearts than all the countless grin
ming skulls slain in fair fights and
whitening battlefields since time be-
gan.

United States marked for death dur

they would cast their verdicts? AS the

Cold storage In Irish Boys.

For long it puzzled me to know what
the poachers did with the birds they
shot in July. There is no cold storage
in the north of Ireland, but they have
discovered an excellent substitute. The
birds are buried four or five feet deep
in dry peat, and, 1 am told, come
out perfectly fresh at the end of two
or three weeks. When one remembers
the bog butter dug out of the peat Dogs
in comparatively fresh state after
being buried for probably 200 or 500
years, it is not difficult to believe that
grouse might keep, under the same cir
cumstances, for two or three weeks
