Stories of Attorney General Moody.

| On one of his horseback rides about
| Washington occurred an incident which
shows Attorney General MOody's sense
of humor saws l. F. Marcosson in the
| November Worlds Work. He was rid
| ing alone when a man galloped NJ
alongside and engaged him in CONVEX
satiOn. He proved TO be newspaper
correspondent who had not been in the
city very long, and who began to talk
in a very light vein.
Il suppose you meet most of the gov.
eminent officials?" said Mr. Moody.
20, yes" replied the correspondent
Take those cabinet officers, for exam
pie. They are very ordinary people
like you and me, only some of them
are industrious. There's Postmaster
General Payne. He works from early
till late. Judge Taft is worker. too.
How about Secretary Moody?" ask
ed his companion, falling in with thu
spirit of the conversation.
He's a big man-but he is the laZ-
lest man in the cabinet" BY this time
they reached drug store and stopped
to have a drink of soda water. When
they were about to separate, Mr. Moody
said:
I've had Il very pleasant ride with
you. | hope we shall meet again.
The newspaper man took out a card
and handed it to Mr.. Moody, who in
turn handed him one of his. But he
did not wait to witness the correspond
cnt's embarrassment
As young lawyer Mr. Moody was
noted for his ready answers:
Once he appeared as prosecuting at
tOrney in the case of a very pious old
man who was charged with setting fire
to his house. The prisoner stoutly de-
MED the charge, alleging that he was
quietly reading his bible when the fire
started Quick as flash Mr. Moody
asked:
Were you reading the sentence. He
that kindleth the fire shall surely make
restitution

Railroads Not Along.

Attorney w. w. Baldwin for the Bur
Hngton railroad has something TO say
to the state board of equalization or
the subject of taxation and the par
played in that tragedy by great cor
porations, more especially the railroads
The attorney told the board that rail
roads are not turned in to assessors al
full value, at least he had never heard
as much and had reason to believe
there was something in the statement
That was the first chapter.
In the second the attorney went on to
mention that other forms of property in
Illinois are not turned in at real full
value for taxation. He thought it would
be found that real estate is not listed at
more than so per cent of the price at
which it is selling every day. This ap-
plies more especially to farm lands and
to business property in the larger cit
les. In the matter of personal property
Attorney Baldwin was of the opinion
that the railroads are caught on a
greater share of what they own than
is the remainder of the public. Most
of the railroads personal property can
be seen, as a result of which big part
of it is listed at some figure, though

In these days of adulterated foods
and food products such a food as is
known to be pure and wholesome is
indeed welcome. We have heard of
many breakfast foods and cereal prod
ucts-some broadly advertised as whole
products, others as cure-alls for every
disease known to man. No doubt they
arc all good and possessed of some
mcIit, but most of them are manufac-
tured with some foreign sweetening
agent to make them palatabIe Among
all the breakfast and cereal foods of
fered the public to-day, we believe we
are warranted in saying that Malta
Vita is the only food that is simply
and wholly pure grain product and
nothing else, except a little salt. Malta
Vita as it comes to you from the fac
sory is all of the wheat 1t has been
thoroughly cleaned. steamed to gela-
tinfze the starch, then added to it is
barley malt extract made from selected

citizens personal property is not Wis
ible To the naked eye; it is withheld

no mind readers to fin0 it when the

The big point made by Attorney Bald
win is that, while. perhaps, railroads es-

as close as any other rich people to
paying on all they have. We are in
