Free Alcohol for Fuel Purposes.


The bill removing the tax from
alcohol for use in the arts and for
fuel purposes has passed both houses
Of Congress, and only awaits the
signature of the president to become
a law. 1t will undoubtedly be sign
ed by the President and be of great
benefit to the people generally.
When a certain per cent OF wood
alcohol or other poisonlis added, all
but a trifle of the tax will be remov-
ed. The part retained will be re-
duced to the actual expense of in
specting the product and enforcing
the law.
Here is an opening for some enter
prising Manchester man to engage
in manufacturing business which
will be permanent and lucrative.

Even though it takes pork four hours
to leave the stomach and six more to
be dissolved and absorbed in the small
Intestine, what does that matter SO
long rs 1t is completely asslmllated by
the end of that time, as it is in 90 per
cent Of all digestive canals? 1t is the
slowest, but one of the surest foods
that we have to give off all its energy
to the body. Its very slowness is what
gives 1t its splendid staying powers for
hard work, whether muscular or men,
tai. AS matter of fact have seen
more cases of dyspepsia cured by the
use Of breakfast bacon than by any
kind Of drug or restricted diet. An
adult alimentary canal which cannot
digest bacon or ham is not to be re-
gnrded rs healthy, and, instead of hui
moring and giving In to a weak diges-
ton, it should be braced up ana, under
skilled supervision, educated to take
what Is given 1t and make no fuss.
Stomachs can be spoiled by giving
them too little to do almost as easily MS
by giving them too much. A healthy
stomach fit to cope with the emergen-
cies of life must be able to digest not
only that which is digestible, but much
that is difficult of digestion, and this Is
the standard which should be aimed at
in dietetic therapeutics. Woods Hutch

Beau Of Fort Sheridan.

Once a man who had, the reputation
of never having been beaten for the
position OF orderly came from another
regiment. Private Haarscher and the
newcomer, as luck would have 1t, were
detailed for guard the same day. The
whole garrison turned out to see which
one the adjutant would pick for the
coveted place. To all outward signs
there was no difference in the neatness
and soldierly appearance of the two
men. ,
The officer spent about twenty min
utes examining the rifles, belts, car
fridge boxes and brasses of the two
soldiers. There was absolutely nothing
to choose between them In point Of
neatness Of appearance. Finally. as IL
last resort, the adjutant unbuttoned
the blouse of the new claimant for Or
derby honors. He found n somewhat
faded but absolutely clean undershirt
The officer passed to Haarscher and
undid three buttons Of his blouse.
Haarscher had on n brand new suit Of
silk underwear that must have cost
him months pay It was the other
man on that day who walked past post

A Very Questionable Transaction

The republicans of Dubuque
county favorable to the nomination
of Gov. Cummins, conceded to a
local aspirant for the office of state
treasurer the privilege of naming
the delegation from that county.
They considered such an arrange
ment perfectly safe, for the reason
i that the Perkins faction had a can.
didate from the southern part of
the state to whom the Perkins men
would have to deliver their votes
But the Dubuque candidate became
an important individual when it
was understood that he had the
selection of the 20 delegates from
that county. For several days this
individual Of erstwhile distinction
was U. G.,and when he came out he
was transformed. He was no
longer a candidate for state treas
urer. His withdrawal from the
race ended the trust reposed in him
by the people ofDubuque county, for
he was allowed to select delega-
ton to promote his personal candi-
dacy, not to dispose Of the vote of
Dubuque county for other considera-
tons, and his attempt to do SO is a
betrayal Of his trust.
No matter what may be the out
come of the deal. the parties con.
nected with it will never live long
enough to recover from the effect
already produced.

Got n Cheap Dinner

Verify the duchy Of Baden possesses
Solomon in the person of one of her
magistrates. He is the burgomaster
of village in street whereof cy-
clist ran over and killed>a goose. The
owner of the bird demanded 3 marks
damages. The cycilst thought 2 ample.
The case came before the chief mag
istrate, who gave his judgment as
follows: 1.-THE plaintiff declares that If
paid 3 marks he VIII make no claim
for the dead goose. The defendant,
who is willing to pay 2 marks, also
makes no claim for the body of the
goose. Defendant, hand me marks,
and you, plaintiff, hand me the goose"
When both had obeyed his commands
he produced mark out of his pocket
and handed all three to the plaintiff.
The goose he kept for himself and
doubtless ate it with the good digestion
which comes from the knowledge of
having pleased everybody.

Arsenic has been known from very
early times as n deadly poison. 1t is
believed to have been the means en-
ployed by Nero to remove his enemies,
and there Is little doubt that 1t was
also known to and employed by Mes
salina and Agrippina. During the mid
die ages it was extensively used rs n
secret poison, being sold by alchemists
and prisoners Of Italy under the name
Of widows powders or succession
powders" Its properties were definite
ly ascertained and made public by
Brandt in 1893. The plant from which
asafetida is produced is native Of
Persia, Afghanistan and northern
India. In all these countries the in
habltants use it as seasoning for
their meat and vegetables, much as red
pepper is employed by the natives of
Mexico and South American states

Wrongly Named pe.t..


The origin of the so called San Jose
scale is not certainly known, but 1t Is
reasonably sure that it was brought
from China about 1870 on some plants
imported by James Lick and placed on
his property in the Santa Clara valley.
By 1880 1t had come to be recognized
rs n serious pest and in that year was
found near San Jose and described by
Professor Comstock, who named 1t
Aspidiotus perniciosus." That name
being too hard for most of us, the pest
has become known the world over us

where it was first found by Professor
Comstock, very much to the disgust of
the people Of that city and vicinity,
who do not suffer from 1t in any appre-
ciable degree.-San Francisco Chroni-

in perfect condition. The work has
already commenced, and there is
plenty of money on hand to, assure
the trustees that the repairs may be
accomplished as quickly as they de-
sire. A closer examination of the

It is sometimes claimed that the sur
geon or the physician is the only man
who is paid for his mistakes, but that
is clearly untrue. Lawyers receive fees
for the cases that they lose, and other
men are not ''docked" whenever they
fail short of complete success. The
truth is that the idea of human COM
pensation is based upon intelligent,
honest effort and reputed skill If all
fees and salaries were contingent upon
absolute perfection in the task under
taken they would have to be increased
many times over, since absolute per-
lection or complete success is very
rare in any line of activity.-Chicago
