formed pie hAbit made the mistake of marrying . woman who liked pie well enough in moderation. but de- manded . modification of the daily bill of fare. In her petition she declared that her husband made her eat pump kin pie three times . day without va- riation. and that suoh requirement was cruel and unusual treatment"
 feelings of disgust with which this good woman Nnnally came to regard pies of all kinds and those made of pumpkins in particular. well made "punkin pie' for dinner occasionally Is not bad to take. but when she was expected to partake of it twenty one a way not to be endured and none should wonder that she applied to the courts for release from a man who appeared to have pumpkin pie on the brain. The trouble with her. as the Kansas City Journal says. was that she had to eat one kind of pie all tho
 time. Not having been bred to the pic as the universal article of food. she rebelled and asked for beefsteak and onions. The husband came of an old and distinguished family of pie eaters. with stomachs especially evolved for such digestion. and he had no sympa- thy with a weakling companion who couldn't 70 the pie gait. The courts have not yet rendered . decision, but ther1 js . feeling that it will be le- gally established that ,wife's duties and responsibilities do not bind her to tho consumption of more than a pie or two day. and that she is in justice entitled to ice cream and sauer kraut occasionally by way of variety"
 Thus 1t is seen that. in two instances. at least. the pie has been elevated to places in the courts and may be the beginning of pie litigation in the fu- ture that will make history.
 And speaking of pies reminds us that we frequently read that some crank is assuring the world that pie is doom- ed and will soon disappear from among civilized people. Well. to use the 1an- guage of The Brooklyn Eagle. 1t is disappearing. through that aperture in the human countenance that was obN- ously formed for pie. let those who will claim that its primary object was ora tory Doesn't tho newest pessimist who has been telling the doom of pie know that there are pie wagons trav- cling through the streets of our cities. setting forth in the morning filled with substance and returning in the even Ing full of nothing but money? Doesn't he know that where. fifty years ago pies were baked individually. and by housewives, they are now manufac- tured by thousands and by companies heavily capitalized. and putting forth at an hours notice. apple. mince. cher ny, custard. huckleberry. lemon. rhu- barb. clam, gooseberry. onion. water melon-any old pies that you want? Some of them taste as if they came out of the same barrel with the oth CTS but of one thing there Is no doubt they are pies; also. they are made to sell. and are sold and eaten"

A school teacher presiding over a court would be regarded as a misfit.

Lafayette. Ala. July 1a, 10O7- Editor The Advertiser:
 I read in your issue of The Advdr- tiser for today that a bill was intro duced in, the Senate entitled "A bill to be entitled an act to provide for proper sanitary conditions in hotels and res taurants in this State.' which pil, should surely become a law. If the present Legislature doesn't enact any other law during this session it will would be a beginning of something which greatly concerns the welfare ot the travelling public. The law could be amended and improved to suit flu ture conditions.

A Sunday Thought.

 Editor The Advertiser:
 Perhaps 1t is unnecessary to mention 1t, as 1t is possible the Legislature has already taken up the matter in dead earnest.
 It's this: Give the old soldiers their money in a lump. They may know as we'll how to use 1t as the banks
 The banks were exceedingly patri- otic in the sixties and they no doubt in common with the present admins tration, have a fellow feeling for the poor old fellows who fought, bled and died" for our beloved. beautiful South land" and will cheerfully forego the privilege of tapping the old soldiers pension money for interest-the prtvi- 1ege so thoughtfully and periodically accorded blythe lovers of the veter- ans.
 Yes Pay the old veteran. their money in a 1ump-that is, if the con Nditions of the fnvorites" will Justify a loss of interest on the eleemosynary fund.
 It looks to me as it the old soldiers the railroads. the farmers. the 'ra., tag and bobtail' are in the same boat of oppression and will have to make common cause of their troubles and hereafter elect 'em a Governor.

PARENTS OPPOSED

BANGOR, Pa, Aug. 26.-As the result

local school board has appealed TO DR..
n. c. Schaeffcr, state superintendent OF
schools for instructions.
AT a recent meeting held under the
auspices Of the State ADMINISTRATION
League. 1000 persons attached their
names to a protest against the enforce
ment OF the va ccination law.
Many parents, who signed the protest
have notified Superintendent J. W.
Grower. of the public schools, they VIII
demand that their children be admitted
90 the schools at the opening of the
session.
The school board has determined to
stand pat The State superintendent, in
response to the appeal sent him, said:
''The only advice I can give is that
you obey the law. Lay your case be-
fore DR.. Samuel Dixon, commissioner Of
health. 1t is his department that will
prosecute you If you disobey the law"
So strong, however, is the anti-vac-
clnation that school authorities view
with apprehension the opening of the
term.

WAVES HER SKIRT
TO ATTRACT HELP
WOman'S Presence of Mind
Saves Her From
|. Drowning.

4 NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Three men and
re woman were rescued from imminent
frn of drowning of Nations reef.
: art Island, by the volunteer Hfe-sav-
crew Of City Island. Two others OF
be party reached New Rochelle three
sours later in a small skin, completely
Exhausted from their long struggle.
Adr. and Mrs. George Davis, their
0ns. William and John, of 19I Wash
sagtOn avenue; John Hildenbrand, Of
7 Montague street, and David Cooper,
Of 8 De KaIb avenue, Brooklyn, started
at 10 o'clock in the morning in the
launch To go. TO Montauk. The boat
ran aground at 2 p. m. as they were
passing Hart Island.
Mr.. Davis stopped the engine and
vainly tried to back into deep water
The launch made no Roadway, and be
gan to take in water rapidly.
Hlldenbrand and Cooper then started
up the sound in small skin the launch
had been towing 10 seek assistance
from the New Rochelle Yacht Club.
Between efforts 10 free the launch and
balliEg the four persons on the launch
without success TO attract the
attention Of some passing boats.
Mrs, Davis removed her white skirt
ana Just before dark the frantic waving
OF the garment was dlsCerned by Ed
ward Lane, the captain of the City
Island volunteer Hfe-savers. Within a
few minutes he had collected his crew
and started for the launch in a sailbOat.
Despite the roughness OF the water, the
rescue Of the party was QUICKLY accom-
pEshed.
Upon landing at City Island Mr.. Davis
notified the harbor police and all the
towns along the sound to be on watch
for the two men in the skin, who had
gone for help.
II appears that Hildenbrand and
Cooper. after leaving the launch, were
soon thrown far out OF their course.
The water was very rough and it was
seven hours before they reached New
Rochelle. They then notified the police
OF their safety They rejoined their
party al City Island.
