Office we could not do otherwise than
approve his scruples and commend

having regard to the best Interests

pledging their support to an unworthy
Democrat against Republican Off

zeal in the performance of his duties
and honesty in his dealings with the

Aside from the lack of party fealty

Then consider the logical conse

petty revenge on a useful but humble
member OF their own party. He and
his friends il turn will have grudgs
to feed at some future time wher
fortune has favored the aldermen in
some party contest. Could anyone
blame the man IL he should play the
game the way the aldermen taught
him?

The BODY Merely Machine.


There are Just any number OF dis
eases In which the Osteopathic is the
only treatment that Will give any re-
lief at all.
The various phases OF neuralgia
and rheumatism as an example yield
more readily to the Osteopathic
treatment than they do to medicine.
SO too do lumbsgo, chronic head
aches, partial paralysis and kindred
ailments. and to one who knows the
first principals OF Osteopathy 1t Is
easily to see why this Is SO.
Osteopathy is a scientific system
OF exercise for the nerves and organs

by which II restores structural nor
mality. The body is a machine run
by unseen forces called life. and that
II may run harmoniousiy 1t is neces-

what osteopathy does-givesl liberty

THE LICENSE INSPECTOR.

In the words OF one, who said he
knew, because he had tried IL, the
office OF city license inspector is one
of the "best" Offices in the city, mean
dng that the possibilities of graft are
exceptional. His point Is not far to
seek. The license inspector enforces
collection of all licenses from bust
nesses to dogs and automobiles. The
average citizen doesn't know one
half the possible sources of revenue.
and it requires some keenness on the
part of the Inspector to find them.
Surprising he does find an obscure
place of business on which the license
Is s25 year, and the proprietor is
agreeable, what Is to hinder the IL
pense inspector accepting SIS and
saying nothing? When one considers
how many opportunities for 50, $40
and SIS transactions of this sort
there are in year. he begins to COM
prehend how good the Office is, and
understand how great the temptation
TO this small salaried Official to steal,
when there is little danger OF dis
covery.
Honesty, intelligence and dill
gence are required for the proper aj-
ministration Of this Office; honesty in
accounting TO the city for all money
collected: intelligence in understand
nng the requirements of the law, that
ne may not be deceived; AID dill
gence in seeking <out those from
whom l,cehses are due and enforcing
reelection. The infallible measure OF
all these qualities is the amount OF
revenue raised through the Office.
George Lehnhard, the incumbent,
has produced more revenue from IL
censes than ever were collected be-
fore. His record is open. Council
men and aldermen should consider
the record for honesty of the incum-
bent and the possibilities for graft in
the Office, before deciding for politi-
cal reasons TO turn Mr.. Lehnhard
down. Such course would look a
little like putting a penalty on hon.

BAKERIES ARE CLEANER
STATE INSPECTOR GIVES OUT A
REPORT OF PROGRESS.
Child and Female Labor Decreasing and
Shops Are Improving in Sanitary
Condition

MADISON, Wis, July 5.-[Special. i
The state bakery inspectors report just
published reveals the fact that the pres
ent inspector reached 271 more bakeries
during the year than the inspector of
two years ago.
The report shows that child labor has
decreased nearly so per cent. Most of
the increase in adult labor has been
males. Fewer women are now in the
bakeries. Most of the bakeries in Mil
waukee require from ten to twelve hours
a day work About IS per cent. of the
bakeries inspected were found to be III
an unsanitary condition. The percent
age in Milwaukee was larger than out
side of the city.
During the year there were fourteen
prosecutions for failure to comply with
the bakery inspection law.
The Legislature has changed the bak-
cry inspection law materially. Under the
old law it made no difference what the
sanitary condition of a bakeshop was,
the proprietor could not be prosecuted
until after thirty days notice had been
given him and not incorporating the
order had been complied with in the
meantime. Now, when bakeshop is
found in an unsanitary condition, the
baker can be taken before the court
without notice, and upon the second of
Tense, his right to run a bakery may be
taken from him.

The ability of a girl to do without

SO, also, the girl is supposed to know
by instinct how to mend and sew. a
certain young wife became on her mar
riage the stepmother Of three small
children. The first weeks mending-
basket was a revelation to her of her
own helplessness.
Il was tempted to stop the holes With

land 1 dare say it would have been as
effective as what 1 managed to do
Two generations ago In a famous
school for girls in an Eastern city sew
ing was an important part Of the cur
riculum. The first task Of a new stu
dent was the making Of a shirt Tor
father or brother. Every stitch in that
shirt was set by a thread. If a seam
had to be ripped a dozen times, 1t must
be fit for the closest inspection. This
zeal on the part Of the school was some
times eXcelled in the home.
A tradition fingers in one family Of a
daughter who went to that school when
she was years old. So we'll did she
sew at that age that she was excused
from making the shirt, and set at once
to a bit Of fine needlework- wide
muslin collar, covered with embroidery
as exquisite as lace.
The promise Of the 6-year-Old child
was richly fulfilled, and her needle was
for a long lifetime a high satisfaction
to herself and a joy to her fortunate
family and friends. Sewing was never
a slavery to her, but always a fasci-
mating creative occupation. The patch
on a jacket, the darn Of q stocking or
the embroidery of a gown or a napkin
were alike welcome calls upon her ca
pable fingers. When people spoke Of
her ability to turn off sewing, she used
to say:
That's because l know how to sew.

flashed Brown Potatoes.

There are two ways of preparing
these. One method is to hash them in
cream sauce and bake in the oven. The
favorite way, however, for breakfast is
to boil potatoes in their skins until
they are just tender and no longer, peel
them and when cold chop very fine, sea-
soning to taste with salt and pepper.
Put little butter in a frying pan, and
when hot put in the hashed potatoes,
packing them down smoothly; then
place on the range, when they will cook
slowly for fifteen or twenty minutes
DO not stir them. When nice brown
color on the bottom and dry and fioury
looking on top, they are done Fold
them over carefully, like an omelet,
turn out on hot plate and garnish

SpOrtSmen have turned their attention
from the northern lakes to the Illinois
rivers and neighboring lakes. For the
small lakes all along the rivers show
the same wonderful increase in pis-
catorial population.
Complaints of the alleged effects on
Lake Michigan fisheries at first were
ridiculed by tie drainage canal trus-
tees, but they have become so numerous
that these officials have been forced to
take C0gniZance Of them. The rivers
gain Is Lake Mchigan's loss, it is de-
clared, and how to prevent the exodus
Of lake fish is a problem that the SAM
tary trustees are now wrestling with.
SO far, the only solution of the prob
lem that has been suggested is the
building of fishways at all the dams
and locks along the artificial water
route. But this, it is feared, would
weaken the dams, and it is doubtful If
it would be possible to construct them
in manner that would permit the fish
TO make their way back to Lake Mich
igan, once they had wandered SO far
away as the Illinois River Two meth
DDS Of constructing the fishways have
been proposed consisting of what
is known as a fish ladder which would
consist Of series Of steps, over which
the water In descending would turn the
fall into a cascade, and thus permit
the fish to climb back in pursuing
their return journey to the lake; the
other comprising a chute with a sinu-
Gus track for diminishing the velocity
and assisting the passage of the fish to
the level above the dam. Because OF
the nature of the locks and dams, their
width and number it is doubted if this
device would prove successful, even If
the construction did not interfere 50
materially with the mechanical opera
tons.
The appearance Of the new types of
fish, entirely different from anything
recorded by former naturaIists, has
stirred up the scientists, and the here
tofore despised Des PLANES River has
come into prominence as the center of
piScatOrial interest, for it is here that
the new types and increased number of
fishes have attracted widespread atten-
ton.
The strange ard new types Of fishes,
never noticed to any great extent until
this year, are undoubtedly the result
of the intercrOsSing that came about
after the invaders from the lake had
accustomed themselves to the new en-
vironments. On finding it impossible
to make their way back to the lake,
they settled down to- make the best of
their life in the narrow confines of the
rivers and accept the condition Of mis-
cegenation with the river fishes as the
best for all concerned.-St Louis Globe

George Siler, the Chicago referee and
boxing authority, is to be given huge
testimonial at the Coliseum, Chicago,
on September %, the sixty-frst ami
versary Of his birth. In the last few
weeks the veteran has suffered a serious
decline in health, physicians having pro-
nounced his ailment angina pectoris His
physician has told him he positively must
decline to again oficiate as referee, and
also has advised him to attempt little
work of any kind unless his condition
should improve materially. Accordingly,
he has been persuaded to formally re-
tire from ring connection on the occa-
sion Of the entertainment that his friends
plan. The veteran has friends and adj
mirers all over the country who it is
believed will contribute to the testimoni-
al. An attempt will be made to provide
an attractive bill of wrestling and other
sports. George has many friends here
and they will no doubt assist in making
the testimonial a success.
