A writer makes declaration with
calm conviction that since 1891 the
whole packing industry of the coun-
try has been under rigid government
inspection. In the light Of present
disclosures the assertion does not
carry the assurance it may have

even the most careless reader must

parison whatever to those obtaining
in France and Germany, in which
countries regulation of the food sup
ply is more thorough and scientific
than here or in England.
Chicago is not the only city show
ing interest in the improving of
slaughter-house conditions. Over in
England the London county council
is taking steps for the establishment
of public abattoirs, and parliament
airy legislation thereto is looked for.
In the regulation of the slaughter and
sale of meat England is far behind
the two European countries named.
Parliament has not made enactment
for compulsory inspection, nor au-
thorized municipal slaughter houses.
However, several cities of Great Brit
ain have secured by special legisla-
ton the public abattoir; in Edin-
burgh abattoirs were opened back in
1851; in Manchester in 1872, and Bir-
mingham has a city market similar
to the best markets of Germany. A
London correspondent, writing to the
New York Tribune on the subject of

BACK TO PULPIT.
What Food Did for a Clergyman

A minister of E~lizabethtown tells
how Grape-Nuts food brought him
back to his pulpit: Some 5 years ago
1 had an attack of what seemed to be
La Grippe which left me in a com
plete state of collapse and 1 suffered
for some time with nervous prostra-
ton. My appetite failed, l lost flesh
till l was a mere skeleton, life was a
burden to me, l lost interest in every
thing and almost in everybody save
my precious wife.
"rhen on the recommendation of
some friends l began to use Grape
Nuts food. At that time l was a mis-
cradle skeleton, without appetite and
hardly able to walk across the room;
had ugly dreams at night, nc disposi'
ton to entertain or be entertained and
began to shun society.
Il finally gave up the regular minis
try, indeed l could not collect my
thoughts OF any subject, and became
almost a hermit. After l had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for a short
time I discovered that l was taking

improve; l began to sleep better and
my weight increased steadily; l had
lost some so pounds, but under the
new food regime l have regained al
most my former weight and have
greatly improved in every way.
Il feel that l owe much to Grape
Nuts and can truly recommend the
food to all who require a powerful re-
building agent, delicious to taste and
always welcome"

Salaries Of State omcials.
During this session Of congress, AZ
in many previous sessions, the expe-
diency has been considered OF raising
the salaries Of the higher omcers OF
the national government and OF the
diplomatic and consular service. Il is
coming more and more to be recog-
nized as a fact, says Youths Com
panion, that the richest nation in the
world, occupying a country in which
the highest business salaries in the
world are cheerfully paid, is neverthe1
less a niggardly paymaster of its high
est officers. For a large share, indeed
for most, OF the minor positions in the
government service the payment Isl
adequate. The earnings Of the clerks

not only the salary which goes with
these offices, but the honor which at

One Theorv Of wealth.

Z Why there should be Woodworking
poor men and idle rich men in the
same community is a question which
no one has answered, and no n can
answer satisfactorily. That is why the
opinion is so prevalent that the world,
much out Of joint, believes T. N. Car
ter, a writer in Atlantic. But although
there is so much unanimity in the
opinion that wealth ought not to be
a wide diversity of opinion, where
there is any definite opinion at all, as
TO how it really ought to be distrlbu-
ted. These opinions may, however, be
reduced 70 three fundamentally dis
tinct theories, which l shall call the
a%ristocratic, the socialistic, and the
democratic, or liberalistic, theories.
The %aristocratic theory is that the
good things of the world belong more
particularly to certain groups or
classes than to others, by virtue of
some circumstance connected with
their birth or heredity, and incepend-
emily of their individual achievements.
The socialistic theory is that wealth
ought to be distributed according to
needs, or according to some similar
plan arranged beforehand, and indie
~pendently Of the individual ability to.
acquire wealth in the rough-and-ready
struggle of life. The democratic, or
Hberalistic, theory is that wealth
ought to be distributed according to
productivity, usefulness, or worth.

William Sherring, h young Cana
dian who won the Marathon race at
Athens. gives the credit to his mother,
who, he says, supervised his training.
She decided what he should eat. and
would not cook anything else. When
she was told that he had won, she re-
marked, "Of oourse l knew he would.
That is what l SEN him over for"
This IS a very pretty sentiment, re-

one in doubt as to what the other
young mems mothers said when told
that they had not won.

MADE SPURIOUS GOLD COIN.
Gang of Japanese Counterfeiters Is
Captured at Seattle.

Seattle, Jan. 16. - Three Japanese
counterfeiters have been placed under
arrest by secret service officer, and
hundreds of dollars worth of spurious
IS and $40 gold pieces, with parapher-
MALTA used in their apartments cap
tured. Captain Bell, head of the
Northwest division of the secret ser
vice, has handled the case, and with
he arrest OF Knichi Fugimodo, in
Port Richmond, CAL, he stated that
the last of the gang had been rounded
up.
According to Captain Bell, the case
is unique in the annals of the Pacific
coast, not only from the wide field of
their operations but from the fact that
the batteries and some of the molds
used by the coiners were made in Japan
and shipped to this country,
Since last June more or less spurious
gold coin has been in circulation, and
the secret service men have been work
ing on the case. Although they have
several clews to the identity of the
men passing the coins, direct evidence
WAS unobtainable until December 80,
when Officer Pi'kins, in Tacoma, arrest
ed S. Sunado for passing counterfeit
s5 gold coin in the Marconi saloon.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 16.-Though the
government is reasserting a precarious
authority in the cities along the rail-
roads in the Caucasus, official advices
received today show that the mountain
eers are under arms in large sections of
the viceroyalty. The government of
kutais is entirely in the hands of the
insurgents, who have interdcted taxes
and are levying their own import
duties.
The reduction of the inaccessible dis
tricts of Gori and Osurgeti, whose
mountain strongholds, with their fierce
warriors, have been the despair of all
conquerors, will involve campaign of
weeks and even months, with the CO.
operation of mountain artillery, in
comparison with which the operations
in the Baltic provinces are child's play.
The troops in the Caucasus being
inadequate, the government hae decided
to send there large force composed of
the veterans returning from Man
churia, perhaps seven army corps. No
figures regarding the force now in Man
churia have been given out, but the in
clusion in the budget of an estimate of
$40, 900, 900 for the construction of bar
racks for these troops gives some indi-
cation of their strength.
Though the progress of the revolu-
tionary propaganda among the troops
has been largely nullifed by the events
of December, the "red" leaders are re-
newing their campaign, and are dis
seminating thousands of copies of the
appeals of the Saratoff Peasant league,
the Union Of Liberal leagues, and
other organizations, declaring that the
government has perished by its own
hand, and that the loyaltv of the sold-
iers is due to the champions of the
people.

dent, Harvey d. Goulder, Cleveland,
o.; one vice president from each state

with the duty Of actively prosecuting
the work of securing regular and in
creased annual appropriations for the
improvements of rivers and harbors OF
the entire country, and to this end to
take such steps and use such means as
will tend to mold public sentiment in
favor thereof.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that the national government should
put river and harbor bills on a par
with other great appropriation bills by
annual appropriations, and direct all
such work economically and continu-
ously, without the waste incident to
efforts. The resolutions

EACH iSlET A REPUBLIC.
Russian Revolution Spreads to Dots
Of Land in Baltic

st. Petersburg, Jan. 1S.-ln addition
to the Caucasus and a few localities in
Siberia, the open revolt is now chiefly
confined to small islands off the Baltic
coast, where the difficulty of landing
troops hampers the subjugation of the
revolutionists. The icebreaker Yermak,
carrying detschcments of marines and
infantry, has been unable to reach the
principal island, Osel, at the entrance
to the Gulf of Riga, and is now await
;ng light-dra steamer to land the
troops.
Following the example of their
brothers on the mainland, the peasan-
try OF even the tiniest islands in the
Baltic have instituted independent re-
publics. One of these, on the islet OF
Linsuitt, probably the smallest state in
the world, already boasts of a second
revolution and second president, the
citizens having risen and overthrown
the first president. The present chief
Jamneenson, is addressing
them in proclamations as "my faithful
eubIects.'
