The problem of getting food from

Dr. Wiley, the head scientist of the

The Michigan Grange Information

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
"a woman criminal who possesses
| youth and an attractive personality is
absolutely immune from serious pun
ishment. And there is no doubt that
this known immunity has encouraged
more than one young woman to seri

man suffragists for female juries that
women invariably fare better than
men at the hands of male jurors"
We are all having too much fun;
that is what is the matter with us,
declares the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat. One of the religious papers puts
the case bluntly in saying that a
quarter of a century ago an average
family found it's holiday pleasure in
picnicking with a basket filed with
luncheon, and taking its days rest
on the grass. Now, it seems, it must
have the scenic railway, the loop-the-
loop, the hurdy7gurdy, the brass band,
the popcorn, and the red lemonade
The way to break up rebating in
life insurance, according to the
Springfield Republican, is to do as
they are doing in Tennessee, where
several agents have been arrested on
the charge of discriminating between
policyholders. 1t is simply matter
of enforcing the law in States which
have such law, as most of them do;
and why the three big New York com
panies should have thought to deal
with the evil effectively by taking
$4,000 of the policy-holders' money
each year and giving it to Mr.. Cleve-
land as an arbitrator on rebating, or
something of that sort, is beyond I'M
derstanding.
