new PENSION BILL FOR VETERANS
Twelve Dollars Monthly For All Sol.
diers Over & Years Of Age.

A vigorous effort will be made at
this session of congress by Senator
McCumber of North Dakota, chair
man of the committee on pensions of
the senate, and his colleagues on that
committee to ipass what has come to
be known as the general service pen
sion bill under material limitations.
This bill already has been favorably
reported by the senate committee on
pensions, and a number of evidences
have been shown of friendly dispo-
sition toward it by the leaders of both
houses.
The proposed service pension bill
is really an extension of what came
to be known as the executive order
pension allowance to veterans who
have attained to advanced age. IN
der this measure, veterans who have
reached the age of sixty-two years
will be granted Sl2 a month, those
who have reached seventy SIS a
month and those of seventy-five 500
month.
The real object of this measure is
to give a pension on account of SER
vice where the soldier received an
honorable discharge and has attained
that age whiah presumably disquali-
fes him for manual labor. No evil
dence of disability incurred in the SER
vice is necessary, but merely an appli-
cation by soldier for thepension rate
for the age to which he has attained,
to be granted upon proof of service
and honorable discharge. The pro-
posed bill really extends the $l2 rate
to all veterans who have reached
sixty-two years of age, and to that ex-
tent is an enlargement of the provi-
sious of the old-age pension arrange
ment provided for in the celebrated
executive order. The additional fea-
lures of this bill are the increased
rates of SIS and 500 to the veterans
who have reached the ages of seventy
and seventy-fve years, respectively.

VETERAN JURISI HoNoRED
Lawyers Pay Tribute to the Late
Judge Weber.
Suitable Resolutions Offered and
Inscribed ON the Records.
Addresses Made by Men from All
Over the District.

Late Thursday afternoon at thecour
house the lawyers of the Ninth Judici-
al District paid tribute to the memory
of the late Judge Benz amin F. Weber.
1t was a simple but impressive SER
vice.
Jos. A. Eckstein, one of the oldest
practitioners, in the district, was the
first speaker, and after a few prelimi-
nary remarks be read the resolutions
which had been drafted by the commit
tee appointed by Judge Olsen. In part
the resolutions were as follows:
''Whereas, it has pleased the Su-
preme Architect of the Universe and
Judge of the Court of Last Resort, in
his, inscrutable wisdom, to suddenly
call the Hon. B. f. Weber from his
earthly career to his eternal and we'll
earned rest, we, the court and members
OF the bar of his former judicial dis
trict, composed of the counties of
Brown, Nicollet, Redwood, Lyon
and Lincoln, deem it proper to take
cognizance thereof, and pay last tri-
butte to the public and private life of
the deceased.
1.-THE members of the bar have
viewed with profound sorrow the an
nouncement Of the death of the late
Judge B. F. Weber, who was former
ly an eminent member of the bar and
an able, honest and upright judge for
nearly twenty-four years in this judi
eial district. His well-earned repu-
tation as a jurist and his remarkable
familiarity with current decisions
will long serve as beacon-light for
us to follow in our professional
labors.
eve desire to place on the records
OF this court some expression of our
feelings on this occasion and our ap-
probation of the honest, faithful and
jealous services rendered by Judge
Weber during the span of life which
was allotted to him, and we sincerely
regret that when he was in the zenith
Of his fame he was called to the ever
lasting repose which IS the destiny of
US all. 1t is sweet to be remembered.
To pay charitable tribute to the men
DRY of the departed is not only our
duty, but it perpetuates their virtues
and keeps them fresh and green in our
memory.
'Judge Weber was typical
American citizen. By his death, the
bench and bar has lost an able and
respected member of the profession,
which loss is by US deeply felt and
mourned."
These resolutions were unanimously
adopted and it was ordered that the
resolutions together with a memorial
sketch be inscribed in the minutes of
the court.
Following Mr.. Eckstein's address
there were short tributes from nearly
all the lawyers present. These in
eluded Stone, Benson and Olsen of
St. Peter, Senator Clague of Lamber-
ton, Howard of Redwood Falls,
Owens of Walnut Grove, Davis and
Hauser of Sleepy Eye, Emerson of
Lamberton, Frederickson and Erick-

der, Hagberg and Somsen of New

THOUSANDS RECOVERED BY STATE
Bank Examiner Finds Where Rail-
road Had Failed to Pay Taxes.

Through the activity of Public Ex-
aminer Kerst's department, officials of
the St. Paul road have agreed to pay
into the state treasury 1926, POI. II, COW
ering unreported gross earnings.
The earnings in dispute amounted to
1855, 1855. go.
The tax certified against the COM
pany by Mr.. Kerst is the largest to be
recovered in years by reason of dis
crepancies in the annual reports made
by the railroads. 1t dates from the
years 1899 to 1905.
The money which this particular
road failed to report was that expend-
ed to secure additional state traffic,
donations to promote new Industries,
and mileage given for newspaper ad-
vertising. This money had been COW
cred up through a system of intricate
bookkeeping, and was not reported in
the annual returns to the state.
The company demurred at first to the
investigation, but later consented and
agreed to the payment of the lawful
tax.
Other roads doing business in the
state, Mr.. Kerst says, are to be SINH
larly Investigated.
It is expected that the state treasury
will be enriched S20o,0o or more.

Japan's victory in her war with China
in 1S94-5 procured for her indemnity
in money, the cession Of Formosa and
the prestige of success, which was i'm

that time on Japan has been strengthen
ing her army and navy against Russia
with the object which has been
achieved. While at the same time China
has been cultivated with a keen appre-
citation of the fact that without the
moral, If not the material, control Of
that country, Japan could not alone
accomplish the task she had assumed
of directing the destinies of the Orient
Japan has undertaken the Japaniza-
ton of China methodlcally by the es-
tablishment in China and Japan of
schools military, industrial and agri-
cultural. Recently twenty-five primary
schools were opened in the Chinese
provinces, with 1854 scholars.
Four of these schools are military,
at Paoling, Outchan, Nanking and Can
ton, and are modelled after st. Cyr in
France. The instructors are japanese
or Chinese educated In Japan. The
school at Canton Is administered by
japanese entirely. Every year TOO
young Chinese, graduates of the schools
in Japan, are assigned with rank to
the provincial army. The student grad
yates are all exalted and imbued with
new japanese ideas. Actually there
are $500 Chinese students in the
schools and universities of Japan The

ers, jail, to cost eIghty-fve dollars,
was next projected to furnish proper
support to the court house by holding
In check a population not yet arrived,
but hourly expected. These expecta-
lions were not so absurd as they seem,
and within two years the county COM
missioners decided upon making the
temporary county seat permanent.
Courts In the log quarters were rude,
but justice was administered with
generally even hand and the early law
yers, Edwards, Kane, Thomas and 9TH
ers, were men whose learning and abil-
ity were hardly surpassed in later and
more pretentious courts. There was an
indescribable quality about these early
administrations of law and equity that
somehow make them of untold interest
to-day.
Abraham Lincoln appeared in the
Sangamon County about 1881 and the
broad footprints he left during his So
1ourn of thirty years may easily be
followed. For six years he was, by
turns, clerk In country store, mer-
chant soldier, postmaster, student, ora
tor, and last full-fedged lawyer. Bit
by bit, as the artist designs a choice
mosaic, this man was developing a
character whose bold outlines were to
stand out an Illuminating beacon to
all mankind. In 1887 Lincoln became
a citizen Of Springfield and began the
practice Of law. He was elected Ahe
same year to represent Sangamon Coun-
ty in the legislature, and was also at
the head Of a project to remove the
capital from Vandalia to Springfield.
AS every other town in the State was
desirous of the same distinction the
scheme seemed doubtful OF realization /,
nevertheless 1t was accomplished.
While the delegates In convention as
sembled were here and there discussing
merits among themselves, Lincoln gain
ed the floor and called for a vote of
those in favor Of the removal Of the
capital from Vandalia. There was but
one dissenting vote-vandalia's Then,
without delay, or discussion, he called
for the vote desiring to remove the cap
ital to Springfield. He was answered
by such a majority as gave the legls-
lature the prompt duty Of passing a
bill for the removal, and thus Spring
field carried off the prize, as some rus
tic beauty has been known to do in a
social contest where dozen bellies were
concerned.
The pleasant hunting ground Of John
Kelly became in those sixteen years a
capital destined to be the guardian of
those sacred treasures of our Nation,
the haunts, the home, and the tomb of
the illustrious Lincoln.-L. X. Becker,

Diet,

In much that Is written concerning
the matter Of diet there are SO many
sweeping statements, impossible rules
and foolish conclusions that it is no
wonder that many persons brush the
whole subject aside as being too COM
plex for them.
The trouble Is that there are too
many persons trying to enforce their
own personal Ideas on this subject.
There are the ''cranks" who must have
something to be cranky about In any
case, and crank" who has picked
up little scientific jargon and thinks
he has cured himself of something is
a very persistent person. Then there
are those who have really been cured
Of some ailment by diet that happens
to suit their own individual cases. They
go about forever afterward finding the
same ailment In everyone they meet and
offering the same remedy. There are
also the one-food people, who go about
seeking what not to devour, and who
would reduce every one to whole wheat
or pecans.
Whole wheat and pecans are excel
Int foods and do much good, but so
do black-heart cherries, Holsters and
corned beef and cabbage If John dis
covers that he has a nightmare every
time he eats lobster he does well to
renounce that dish, but he need not re-
nounce 1t because Dick has the night
mare.
Again, one hears much Of the good
Judgment displayed by those persons
who rest for at least half an hour aft
er eating, and 1t would, undoubtedly,
be well II the world were so arranged
that we could all do 80, but unfortun-
ately the business Of the day rushes
along, and most persons, at least un-
til they come to their evening meal,
must 60 to work as soon as they have
eaten.
1t Is true that this fact constitutes a
strong plea for light and easily digested
meals in the daytime, leaving the prin-
cipal one till the work is finished.
1t Is absurd for persons who have
not made themselves somewhat famll-
lar with the chemistry Of foods to try
to talk learnedly about their action on
the human economy, and 1t may be
taken as an axiom that within the In
dividual capacity (Which can be learned
only by individual experiment. a va
rlety Of diet is better than monotony.
A diet that is too strictly limited to
a few things trains the stomach to
adapt Itself to those few, and 1t Is In
danger of losing its power to digest
outside of that llst.-Youths Compan-

CITY VEGETABLE GARDENS.
Anybody Can Have One, Even IL He
Has Ii on the Roof

Anybody Can Have One, Even IL He
Has Ii on the Roof.
"If anybody wants a garden he can
have It," said DR.. F. NJ. Hexamer at
the American institute, in the Berkeley
Lyceum, according to the New York
Tribune. II know a man who works
in factory all day, and he has one on
the roof of his house. There he grows
the tenderest lettuce and juiclest rad
ishes In boxes-quite little succession
of nice vegetables all summer long. And
the fun and the trouble he gets out of
them!
You can get rotation of crops in your
New York City garden all right II you
want to. When l started my garden l
selected what l considered the most
convenient place for radishes, and de-
cided to grow them there all the time.
The first year they were fine; the sec
ond year they were poor; the third
year l didn't have any. Now l make
a careful plan of my garden and never
plant vegetable on the same spot two
years running.
"And my land had been swamp be-
fore I got 1t, and then they made 1t
dumping ground. 1t was all tomato
cans and old shoes, and while they
make fine soil for trees they're not
so Inviting soil for vegetables. But
| covered them all up with soil and
fertilizer and, well, now the tin and
old leather don't make anv difference"
DR.. HeXamer's remarks followed a
lecture by George II. Powell, president
of the Agricultural Experts Assocla-
tlon, who had spoken on Garden Max
ing" with especial reference to vege-
tables
There's no piece of ground which
can give more satisfaction than a vege-
table garden" said Mr.. Powell. "Even
in cities surprising results may be OBJ
talned from the cultivation of vacant
lots and back yards. The fact Is, there
is an instructive love of the soil in the
human heart and when we bring to that
some knowledge Of methods we got
something very satisfactory"
Then he went on to talk of the supe-
riorlty of sandy soils over clay or loan
soils for gardening, of planting only
seeds of strong vitality Of the rotation
Of clover with vegetables and finally
of the best varieties Of asparagus, peas,
lettuce and sweet corn to plant.
U. L. Allen Of Long Island took ex-
ceptlon to almost every statement made
by Mr.. Powell. He told Mr.. Powell
that his theory of the rotation of crops
was as old as the Bible and as little
understood. ut isn't the character Of
the soil so much as Its condition that
tells" he affirmed. Its how to work
, your soil more than the character of
, the soil. If you want good vegetables
, plant your garden so full the sun can't
strike the ground between them"

SOME ODD KINDS OF FOOD.
Australian AbOrigines Are Fond of
Pounded Butterflies.

TOuhueu butterhleS.
In America horsefesh Is sold surrep-
titiously, masquerading as beef. In the
markets Of most European cities horse
and mule flesh is sold openly, in most
cases, however, being under the survell-
lance of the police. The Greeks ate
donkeys, they say, and If donkeys were
edible, why not horses to-day?
A strong prejudice was manifested
WAS first proposed, but this feeling Is
rapidly vanishing and hippophagy Is as
common as beef-eating. The wornout
steed finds his way to the abattolr as
readily us the cow that will not give
milk or the stall-fed OK
Frogs are dearly priced by gourmets
the world over. Snails are devoured in
France and help to tickle the jaded
palate that has become cloyed with
swollen goose liver and decayed salmon
roes. The snails that are eaten are the
everyday, Shiny little mollusks that are
to be found by thousands in the gar
dens, vineyards and woods of the prov
inces of Burgundy and Provence and in
Switzerland.
Australian natives are fond Of but
terhies and declare them to be more
nourishing than the flesh of kangaroos
or fowls. The butterflies are pounded
into sort of cake.
The aborigines of South America and
Africa consider the guiana, large liz
ard, great delicacy. These lizards
are not unlike small crocodile, but are
more unsightly than that creature.
In Australia several kinds of snakes
are eaten roasted. They are said to be
equal in delicacy and flavor to the
finest stewed cells. An English traveller
declares the steam from the roasting
reptiles Is by no means unsavory.
Some folks in Russia will pledge
their friends in goblet of unrefined
train oil and not SO long ago dwellers
on the American prairies esteemed
glass of buffalo's blood the richest drink
ON earth.
