John Aston Moorhead is one of the

Yale football team and also pulled in

to deserve particular distinction. Only
a few weeks ago he eloped with his
mothers French maid. They have
not been entirely forgiven yet, but it
is understood that John Aston is be-

his father paying the bills, and it is
said the little French maid is crying

Mr.. FoSS' Plans.

The Hon. Eugene y. F0ss, of Mas
sachusetts, who is one of the chief
makers of trouble for gentlemen
who believe in the eternal verify
and sacred character of the Dingley
schedule, is coming home from
Europe, loaded with lot of in
formation about tariff conditions
and business developments there.
Mr.. Foss is trying to get light on
world trade situations, and has been
studying reciprocity treaties and
maximum and minimum tariffs in
Europe.
Time was, not long ago, when Mr..
Foss would have been accused Of
treason for going abroad to learn
about such things. 1t would have
been boldly declared that he was in
the pay Of the Golden Club, seeking
means for destroying American
commercial independence in the in
terest of the pauper labor of
Britain. Recollect the yeoman serv-
ice the Golden Club used TO do as a
campaign bogie in the days of Ros-
well P. Horr's glory as a stumper?
Well, those days are past. 1t is no
longer criminal for an American
pubicist to seek knowledge and in
teIligence.
Mr.. Foss has become convinced
that Germany is ripe for a reciproc-
ity treaty with the United States,
and he believes that the maximum
and minimum tariff is the policy
this country should adopt. He is
coming home to tell the people of
Massachusetts what he has been
finding out, and his narrative is GER
tain TO have an enlivening effect in
the Massachusetts, campaign this
summer and fall. Mr.. Foss is a per-
sistent person, who seems utterly
unmindful of the discomfort of be-
ing unhorsed and rolled in the dust
at each joust with the American
Protective Tariff League. He has the
sort of capacity for punishment that
makes champions. The man who
learns how to take defeat-plenty
of it's also learning how to be-
come victor.

tion TO the effect that the whole
world is just now prosperous, out

walls, would make an effective in

KISSING BUG HOCH,,

Bitter Fight Between the

LEAVENWORTH, Kan. May 25-
Kansas is in the midst Of the most
bitter political campaign In its history.

referred TO facetiousfy by the Demo-
Gratis as the kissing bug" while the
Republicans refer to former Senator
W. A. Harris. the Democratic guber-

w. f. Stanley and the excuse he gave
that il was but way Methodists had
of saluting each other will sound the
death knelI Of his political career.
while the Republicans call attention TO
the fact that Senator Harris is not
even a resident of the State and not
a taxpayer. and they have written arti-
cles by the column 70 prove that both
the organic and statutory laws bar hlm
from even casting his vote in the State
The records of Leavenworth county
where he formerly resided. have been
searched and it has been ascertained
that Senator Harris did not vote in the
State in 1904 at both the Presidential
and State election; that he has not
paid any personal or real taxes since
1901, and did not even pretend TO keep
up his citizenship here
The Republicans charge that Harris,
besides not being a resident OF the
State, lives in a palatial residence IN
Chicago. Harris claims that his home
is in a seven-rOOm apartment and in
vites the Republicans to take a photo
graph OF il for distribution throughout
the State.
Az in all, the campaign is to be a
hot one and will go down in Kansas
history as the most bitter ever carried

VALUE OF HONEY AS FOOD.

Honey, which IS described as zone OF
natures best foods" is the subject of
a report by the Ontario department of
agriculture. In this it is pointed out
that it is only within the last few
centuries that sugar has become known
and only within the last generation that
refined sugars have become so low in
price that they may be commonly used
in the poorer families. Formerly honey
was the principal sweet and it was high

sugar refinery was built. 1T would add
greatly to the health of the present gen.
Grafton" il is declared, eff honey could
be at least partially restored to it's
former place as a common article Of
diet"
Excessive Use of sugar brings in its
train a long list of ills. When sugar is
taken into the stomach it cannot be
assimiliated until first changed by di-
gestion into grape sugar. Only too often

perform this digestion and then come
