THE MATTER OF EATING.

The Springfield Register discusses
the question Of eating at some length
and with considerable thoughtfulness
and force, taking the uicta of a Kan
sas doctor for it's text, The Kansan's
theory is that the stomach of man,
as of beast, Is made to work, and II
one fails to keep it busy it gets sick.
His prescription is to fill it up and
keep it filled. AS a morning starter
he recommends to begin on ham, Or
bacon and eggs, potatoes, fried in
grease, hot biscuits or wafies, butter
and syrup, with two cups Of good cot
fee. At noon you want to fill up with
a substantial lunch. Then take a
hearty dinner at six, and when you go
to bed try bowl of mush and milk.
The diet, properly adhered to, the
Kansas doctor declares, will enable
you to live 100 years, and keep in
fighting trim all the while.
The Springfield paper comedies that
many people diet too much and that,
on the other hand, too many eat too
much. But it is of the opinion that
more people starye themselves into
bad health than become invalids
through eating. OF course, there are
proper limitations to eating german.
dizing is calculated to produce condl.
lions that are not wholesome, and
no doubt does frequently result in
govt and other diseases, buc it is in.
sisted that excessive abstinence from
food will produce conditions that can
give clubs and spades to .gormandiz,
ing and then show far more victims to
invalidism and fatal diseases"

LAcEYs APT STORY.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle:
Mr.. Lacey of Iowa told a story in the
house of representatives today which
Champ Clark, who is something OF a
raconteur himself, said was the best
he had heard in ten years and was
second hand at that-old enuogh, in
fact, to be new. The bill to bring
Texas under the operation Of the ir-
rigation law was unuer consideration,
and Mr.. Lacey was opposing 1t for the
reason that Texas had retained to her
self her public domain when she came
into the union, and was now trying to
force a divide" with the other arid
and semtarid states of the proceeds
of the sales of the national domain.
Mr.. Burleson of Texas, defending
Texas, said that she had sold and ced-
ed to the United States her claim to
$4,000 square miles contained in the
country north and west Of her Dor.
ders.
Mr.. Lacey retorted: Most Of them
are desert lands. Texas sold the
worst she had. She reminds me Of
the story Artemus Ward told about
two men he heard talking at hotel
in Maine. One Of them said:
Well, Bill, I've sold that old
mare
"'What!' says Bill. That old flea
bitten, broken down. spawned mare?'
yes
For how mueh?'
ga hundred dollars
"a hundred dollars! Who did
you sell her tor
'Motherl'"
Whereat the house laughed long
and loud at the appositeness Of the
story.

CONTRACTS LET FOR EXTENSION

Contract has been let for the grad

versity Place extension Manager
Garner signed with 10 Bunk Of OF.
tumwa to move the 1900 yards OF
earth which will be necessary to pre-
pare the street for traffic, and work
will be Immediately commenced.
The culverts are well under way, and
within few days the real work on
the extension will commence.
Considerable difficulty was expert
enced by the Traction company IN
securing graders for the work, as
most Of the contractors were busy
for the summer and it was remark.
able good fortune to secure any one
capable of handling the dirt at this
time.
The well beaten paths to the new
university building and the hundreds
Of people who walked to the site on
Sunday show the urgency Of getting
the street car service established as
soon as possible. The foundation for
the new building is in and the place
presents busy scene.

AN EXAMPLE, IN OATS.

Nevada Representatives: The pres
ent price of oats in Nevada is 26 cents
a bushel. Referring to the files of the
Representative, we find that the local
price for oats at this time in 1896
was 13 cents bushel. The crop sta,
tistics of the government show that
the crop of 1905, which isnow on the
market, was materially larger than
the chop of 1895, which was on the
market ten years ago. 1t is also to
be noted that the oat crop OF 1895,
like the corn crop of the same year,
was exceptional in quality, while tne
crop of 1905 was only an average sort
of crop. So it appears That in 1896 a
superior grade of oats was selling at
approximately half the price that is
commanded ten years later by an in
ferior grade of oats in much larger
quantity. All the conditions relating
to the crop itself should have indicat-
ed a better price in 1896 than now.
But the business conditions OF the
country more than Offset the more
favorable crop conditions. In 1896
the country was offering from the eff
feet of Cleveland free trade; whereas,
in 1900 the country is enjoying the &C
cumulated free benefits Of protract-
ed era of Mckinley and Dingley pros
perity. So anxious ,ohwever, is Gov
ernor Cummins to effect a change i'll
the policies that nave induced this
prosperity that he went last fall down
to Boston to associate himself with a
prominent Democrat there in joint
debate with prominent Republicans,
the governor and his Democratic as
sociate urging an immediate and
radical revision of the tariff and
their Republican opponents taking the
contrary view. If the Story county
farmers, who are getting twice the
money for poorer oats, wish to abol'
ish the conditions that have doubled
the value Of the oats, they have the
opportunity to express such sentiment
by voting for Governor Cummins
Oats are the great crop that farmers
here rotate with their corn, and the
Importance to the people here OF q
good price for oats is generally rec
ognized. 1t is worth while to think
several times before voting for a
change. ...a

1885. the Canadian Printer and Pub.
fisher Of Toronto says:
1T is a wise policy on the part OF
any government to recruit its consu-
lar forces from the ranks Of the jour,
nalists. The newsgetting instinct
and the years of training Of the news
paper man stand him in good stead
when he is called on to investigate
conditions in a foreign country for his
home government.
"An outstanding example Of news.
paper editor, who is ably fulfilling the
duties of consul in the Province OF
Ontario, is Mr.. George Nicholas lift,
u. S. Consul at Chatham. Mr.. lift is
proprietor and editor of the Pocatello
(Idaho) Tribune, which he purchased
about twelve years ago. He received
his appointment at Chatham in May,
1905, and entered on the duties of his
office last September. Though only
located in this country few months,
he has already prepared some admir-
able reports for his government, which
show the results of painstaking re,
search.
''Mr. lift is native OF Western
Pennsylvania, where he was born for
ty years ago on farm near the city
of Butler. He spent his boyhood on
the farm, subsequently studying at
Franklin and Marshall College, Ian.
caster, Pa. After graduating he spent
a couple of years in Europe, studying
at Berlin, Paris and Leipsic, and took
his work has met with the approval OF
Returning to- America he engaged in
newspaper work and since then he has
done either reporting or editorial
work in almost every big city from
Philadelphia to the coast.
mo sooner had Consul lift settled
at Chatham than he set to work to
compile a series of reports on Cana
dian trade and allied subjects. That
his wrk has met with the approval OF
his government is abundantly EVIL
denced by the frequency with which
his reports are quoted not only in the
Daily Consular and Trade Reports, Is
sued by the Department Of Commerce
and Labor, but by the daily and trade
newspapers in both the United States
and Canada. In the past six months
he has discussed a great many ques-
lions, including the Canadian forestry
policy, the beet sugar industry, Amer
lean immigration, American capital in
Canada, etc. Even to a Canadian,
much of Consul lifts information is
new, which illustrates the thorough
ness with which he has made his in
yestigations."

THE REAL RAINY MONTH.

April is not the rainy month. 1t is
May.
The rains of this month are only
what was to be expected, for in spite
of the fact that April is fearful 2
April usually, the fourth month,
smiles more. often tnan the Fifth. Ac-
cording to the government reports
for the last thirty years the average
precipitation for the month has been
42S inches, and the average number
of May days giving us hundredth
of an inch or more of rainfall has
been u. Contrast this with the April
record of only 2.73 inches of rain on
the average, and it will be seen that
May (not April) is the wet month of
the springt.me. May of 1888, which
Oskaioosans remembergave us 9.23
inches of rainfall, while the wettest
April that we have had in the thirty
four years Chat of 1922 gave us only
Sal inches. The dryest May in the
period was that of 1881 with 1R4
inches; the dryest Aprn that of 1895,
with 32 hundredths of an inch. The
greatest precipitation in any "a con-
secutive hours in May was 2.79 inches
on the 18th, in 1876, as is still recall
ed by many of the older residents OF
Mahaska county. AS to relative hui
midity in May, the average at z a. m.
has been rs, and at Z D. m. SO. (This
data covers II years only. May
gives us an average of 9 clear days
in Mahaska county, IL partly cloudy
and 10 cloudy.

been employed in the ONCE OF the
secretary Of state number Of years.
His qualifications are unquestioned.
He would fill the Office as well as it
has ever been filed. He has always
been loyal and true Republican and
is deserving Of the place. At the re-
cent Polk county primary election he
received the highest number Of votes
and had the largest number Of dele

The EPWORTH LEAGUE
Seventeenth Anniversary Celebrated
at Central M. z. Church.

The Epworth League of Central NJ.
E. church last evening celebrated the
seventeenth anniversary of the found
ing of the society with fitting pro-
gram, the feature Of which was the
address Of Rev. Fred Fisher Of Des
Moines, who appealed to the young
workers in the Christian life in a
splendid address on "The Broader
Vision"
The occasion was a gala event for
the 0skaloosa league following DR..
Fishers sermon. Fully $50 young
people came forward in the consecra-
tion service and were pledged to
christian work during the coming
year.
Rev. Fisher took the lesson of his
sermon on "The Broader Vision" from
the Biblical story Of Elijah and his
vision on the mountain when in the
hands of his enemies. He appealed
to the young folks urging that they
might have broad vision Of immor-
tally or their own relation to God, Of
service, or the good that they could
do, and of the crying need Of the
world for consecrated men and women
Of true Christian lives.
Anniversary booklets were distrib-
uted among those present containing
brief resume of the local organiza-
ton and its membership. The oska-
loosa league is, as 1t shows. in a -four
