Ignorant Business Woman"
You should obtain the authority by
applying, with the consent Of your sis
ter, to a notary public. The form OF
power of attorney or written state
mem should give explicitly what. as
attorney, you are empowered to do.
The paper should be executed before
the notary public by your sister, and
where the deciding of real estate Is in
volved it must be recorded in the Office
Of the registrar of deeds in the county
where the real estate Is situated. All
notary publics keep printed blanks,
and the post Office department issues
a printed slip for those who figure in
this capacity in making out money or
ders.
what Is a bond, and what is meant
by 'collateral?' Miss R. A. L."
A bond is a written obligation. In
1t one party promises to pay to an
other a certain sum if certain condi-
tons are not fulfilled. Generally this
sum is much larger than the debt, SO
that it will cover the debt, interest and
| costs. The collateral" is the mort
gage or other instrument given as Sc
! curity. Bonds are not used as much
as formerly.
eff a note is secured, who holds the
security? A Stenographer."
In case the security is real estate, a
mortgage is given the person ~loaning
the money. This mortgage is simply a
lien upon the real estate, and if the
interest and principal of the note are
paid the title of the real estate con.
tinues in the name of the borrower.
Where a note is secured on personal
property, the lender often requires that
the personal property be delivered to
him Immediately on making the loan
and that it shall remain in his posses
sion until the note is paid. This is
called a pledge. When a chattel mort
gage is given as security the title for
the personal property goes to the loan
er and the borrower can redeem it by
paying the note.

GAVE THE RIGHT ANSWER.
How the Late JOHN Hay Displayed
His Aptitude for the
Law.

When the late Secretary Hay applied
for admission to the bar at Illinois he was
summoned to appear before a committee
of prominent Chicago lawyers to be ex-
amined as to his qualifications, relates the
American Spectator.
He went to the place appointed and
found the committee assembled; but for
a long time they took no notice of the
young candidate, but continued to talk Wig
orously together on various subjects. At
last one of the lawyers, turning to. him,
said:
"Mr. Hay, what would you do if a client
should come to you with such a case as
this?" and he proceeded to describe very
deliberately a complicated legal case.
81 should ask for a retaining fee of $780,"
promptly replied Mr.. Hay, and tell him
to call tomorrow"
"Mr. Hay. you are admitted" said the
gentleman, and with a hearty laugh from
all present the proceedings closed.

The Stalwart American.

The men of this country have a per-
feet right to be called 'stalwart," if
stature can give it to them. The aver
age stature of an American is five feet
10h inches; of an Englishman, five
feet nine inches; and of a ~Frenchman,
five feet, four inches. The difference
is due partly to climate, and partly to
habits of life.

Washington, Sept. EFF the initial

This is due to the fact that passed as
sistant surgeons in the navy objected
to be denominated as past, both on
account of the twisted meaning and
because their office was created by an
act of Congress. Likewise the so

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 70
Strong measures will be taken by the
Navy Department to prevent the re-
currence of warship accidents such
as have occurred altogether too of
ten in recent months. In January
two of the battleships started for the
manoeuvres off Cuba collided and
were laid up for repairs. Norfolk was
next the scene of collision between
two torpedo boats, in which one bare
ly escaped sinking. Then the Rhode
Island got into trouble again, and her
captain has been suspended from du-
ty for six months for grounding his
vessel off the Virginia coast last
May. The collision between the AL
ALBANIA and the Illinois off Newport
was an even more serious affair.
Two of the officers of the Alabama
have been recommended for court
martial. Lastly, the grounding of the
cruiser Boston off the coast of Wash
ington has still further added to the
list of accidents already too long.
These mishaps have centered atten-
ton on the mans of safety with
which all new United States battle
ships are provided in the form of ell

DR.. WILEY ABOUT READY
Publishers PressJ

Washington, Sept. 29.-Just how
loudly the country will gasp in sur
prise over what it has been eating
when the Pure Food law really gets
comes known, remains to be seen.
The hearings of various manufacture
ers before DR.. Wiley and his Com
mission have shown that revelations
may certainly be- expected. Indeed,
the manufacturer of food products
doesn't seem to care for the new law
at all. The plea of each one before
DR.. Wiley to the effect that he has
not in the past conducted his bust
ness along lines which will violate
the new law Except in SO far as con-
sumers have demanded) although all
his competitors probably have,
smacks of the plea of the school-boy
who hadn't done nothin' and any
how Tommy Jones made him." Ac-
cording to DR.. Wiley, all manufacture
ers who have appeared before him
have had three general arguments
to advance against the application of
the law in their case, each in itself
and admission that the other two
were more or less worthless First,
according to each one, the law did
not apply to his particular product;
and second, anyhow if it did apply
and were enforced then he would be
70 r.f ,-i
ness. Third, each one asserted that
if he We're doing anything contrary
to the law it was because his consum-
ers wanted the goods prepared that
way and wouldn't be satisfied with
anything else. While all of the per-
sons might well cause smile, there
is still something of truth in the last.
1t is well-known, for instance, that
practically all mustard is adulterated
with farina or some kindred substan-
ce, in spite of the fact that it is be-
lieved to be pure. The public would
not eat pure mustard. since the flaw
or would prove sickening. Likewise,
Washington, for example, looks with
suspicion on all butter that is not
what is known as red in color, while
other cities demand other tests as
the acme of excellence. But while
good many people are apt to be
shocked when they have a chance to
see just what it is they have been
eating and drinking. it is not prob
able that any producer who does not
deserve to be will be put out of bust
ness by the new law. The people
must eat, and somebody must pre-
pare the foodstuffS.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Once men

human attributes to become a finan-
cial expert, pure and simple, talking
learnedly of tremendous sums For
this reason, while Mr.. Bryan's govern
ment ownership proposition continues
to receive a large amount of discus
value and application, the most unseen
timental and practical review of the
question has come from the Treasury
Department, whose officials, because
they are constantly concerned with
the finances of the country, look upon
the question from a business stand
point and ask what it would cost and
whether it would pay. 1t is generally
admitted that the government could
not hope to raise the $15,000,O00 900
necessary to purchase the lines, but,
even if it could, the interest on this
sum at figure as low as two per cent.
it has been pointed out, would amount
to $500,000,000 annually, or more than
one-third of the country's income
While it is not to be assumed that the
is condemned solely for
financial reasons, more than one
Treasury official has already asked
what would be the effect on the people
in general of year of small crops
and business depression during which
the roads would lose money. Evil

great financial suffering, would be

that country, it is true, municipal
ownership has had the greater growth,
but according to Mr.. HornePayne, the
is the same. In speaking
Of municipal ownership as menace

Il do not like municipal securities,
home or foreign, as | believe that

A NEW WAR BOOK ISSUED
slams and Japs are Made Fighters
Pay of the Cars Troops Amounts
to IS Cents a Month.
trublfshers' PressJ

Washington, Sept. 29.-The person
al, feelings and inward workings of
the Russian army in Manchuria dur
ing the late RussianJapanese war
these are matters treated of in an ex-
tremely interesting work published
by the Navy Department last week.
The book in question is the report of
Naval Surgeon Spear, who was de-
tailed to accompany the Russian ar
my in the belief that much could
thus be learned of value of the troops
of Uncle Sam. The revelations made
by Surgeon Spear are in many cases
surprising-as, for instance, the fact
that the pay of the Russian private
reaches the dazzling total of 25 cents
a month"; truth, which had it been
earlier made known, would have con
WINGED many superstitious persons of
the unacceptable doom of the Cars
armies. From this twenty-five cents
the Russian private buys his tobacco
and sugar. What is left over, he
blows in on dissipation. Surgeon
Spears report shows, however, that
unsanitary diet contributed little to
Russia's defeat. Like the Jap, the
Russian soldier in Manchuria drank
large quantities of boiled tea, thus
escaping the danger of typhoid and
other diseases through contanlina
ton. A U. S. soldier would probably
kick vigorously at the Russian fight
ing mans fare-which consisted of
one pound of meat and two and one
half pounds of black rye bread with
tea, every day in the week. As they
invariably made soup of the whole al
lowance, it, like the tea, had the ad-
vantage of being sterile. Incidental
", the result of the war was probab
ly a serious blow to the IkOn trust,
since although these sacred pictures
were taken TO the front by neari.-
every soldier to protect them against
the Japanese. they were speedily dis
carded when their lack of efficancy
was discovered Altogether. the de-
feat of Russia was attributable first
of all, of course, TO Japan, and after
that not to the Russian fighting man,
but TO his officers and their tactics.
