clare that in spite of an almost inc
vitable car shortage. they have placed
no new orders for additional cars be-
cause of the presidents attitude tow
ards the railway interests. Such as

MIR WILLIAM II. ELLIS.

Among the Topeka visitors who VIII
be in attendance at the dinner to be
given this evening at the Y. NJ. G. A.
rooms in the interest of the Laymens
Missionary Movement will be William
II. Ellis of Philadelphia. To those read
ers of the State Journal who are accds-
toned to follow the Sunday school les
sons as discussed in the SATURDAY issue
of this paper each week, the name or
Mr.. Ellis is familiar. For two years
or more he has been furnishing these
discussions to the State Journal, and
they have brought forth many words
of approval from Sunday school
workers.
Mr.. Ellis is a correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press. During the past
wear he has made a tour of the Far
East-China, Japan and K.orea-alons
with party of business men investf-
eating conditions in the mission fields,
and his present trip in1the interest of
the Layman's Missionary Movement
results Those who read Mr.. Ellis
comments on the Sunday school les
sons last spring in these pages will re-
member that some of them were writ
ten while on the ground of the hap
penings which he discuss ed. During
his visit to China he also wrote stirring
articles with reference to the famine in
China for Golfers and other maga-
zines.
Incidentally, If you have not been
reading Mr.. Ellis writings in the State
Journal from week to week, you have
missed some very interesting matter.
His descriptions of some of the old
Biblical characters and his compart-
sons of them with present day people
are exec edingly unique.

ERON OTHER PENS
CORN MEAL IS GOOD ENOUGH.


Augusta, Me-, has revolted at the
high price Of meats. Nearly 1.2oo peo-
pie in Kennebec county have agreed to
eat no more meat for ten days; in the
belief that this abstention will force q
reduction of price. 1t ought not to be
difficult for a people whose staple diet
is beans to abstain from meat II
really would be less difficult in any case
than people might think. The high
price of meat would do some real
good if it should cause general re,
duction of the meat item on the plii
of fare. There are wholesome substl-
tutes in the way of fowl, fish, both salt
and fresh, while a greater amount or
corn meal, eaten in any shape-corn
norridee with rnilk-would be SO much
ito the good as far as health is con-
cerned. There is more nourlshment IN
corn meal than in meat, and large
substitution of it for meat would be
beneficial in every way.-Indianapol1s
