ALCOHOLISM AND INSANITY.
The Latter Is a Direct Result of the
 Former.

Dr. Savage recognizes that alcoholic intemperance is potent cause not only of actual insanity, but also of nervous weakness and instability both in the individual and in his offspring.
 Nevertheless says London Hospital, he argues the increase of insanity at the present time certainly bears no actual relationship to the consumption the English people are far more tenn perate than was formerly the case and

Salt a Luxury.

Salt is the greatest luxury known lin Central Africa. In some sections among the poorer inhabitants salt is never used Even among the better classes, man who eats salt with his food is considered a rich individual. in some tribes where salt is not so ilscarce children are so fond of it that they may be seen eating it just as our children would eat pieces of lump sugar

The above question is oftsn asked con cerning Dr. Pierce's two leading medi- eines, "Golden Medical Discovery" and HFavorite Prescription"

MELONS IN STORAGE.

How a Rural J. p. decided Suit Be.
tween KcChaors.
Problems worthy of Solomon's acu-
men are often submitted to these rural
arbitrator. justices of the peace. In
the Macon county (Mo) archives is
case of this sort:
Timothy Kahn, Il farmer of Easley
township. set out some watermelon
vines which grew so luXuriOuSly that
they trespasSed upon the field of his
neighbor, Felix Hopper. When garner
ing time came Kain's attempt to har-
vest his runaway product was rebuked
by Hopper and his shotgun. The con-
troversy got into court, and Squire
William Easley, for whom the town
ship was named, was asked to decide
the ownership Of ten watermelons
worth 10 cents apiece. The lawyers
for Kahn read books to show that his
rights of property followed the vines
clear into the next county should they
travel so far. HOpper's lawyers pro
duced equally sound reading to prove
that Hopper was entitled by law to
anything that camped on his premises.
It wasn't Hopper's fault, they said, if
the vines wanted to spread out and go
visiting He had the same right to
them that he would have to colony
of honeybees that might get tired of
being with Kahn and concluded to move
over and make honey for Hopper.
Squire Easley let the lawyers spout
until they had read through all their
books; then he arose to his six feet
and said:
Mitchell has read books that make
it absolutely certain them melons be-
long to Kahn l hadn't any doubt in
the world about that till Guthrie here
got up and turned MitchelPs law bot
tom side up. There's no question but
what there's enough law in the books
for both Kahn and Hopper, and that
ought to make 'cm happy. The court
decides under the circumstances that
with the law deciding both ways there's
nothing to do but to hand out justice
as he sees it. The judgment of the
court is that those are Kain's melons,
"Thank you. your honor" said Mitch
ell, arising and bowling.
-''but that he's indebted to Hopper
20 cents apiece for storage" finished
the justice.
But, your honor" said Mitchell in
dignantly, you can't do that. They
haven't fled any claim for storage.
Besides, you're allowing them more
for their melons than they're worth on
the market
."The court will take judicial notice
of the defendants rights, offset or no, "
said Squire Easley, with some asper-
ity. "And your own evidence shows
Hopper was diligently guarding Kain's
property for him. That's worth some
thing"

Notes From Washington

from our Regular correspondents
From the chaos of exagger
alton and misconception of the
Presidents policies and pur-
poses one fact concerning his
coming message to Congress
may be asserted with certainty.
He will strongly urge upon
Congress the ACCESSIBILITY of
Legislation providing that every
corporation, of a magnitude yet
to be determined, doing an inter
state commerce business, be re-
1quired to secure a Federal Ii
cense. The issue of such Ii
censes would, according to the
present purpose of the Presi-
dent, be hedged about with safe
guards against the monopolistic
control of any given industry,
over-capitalization and fraudulent
promotion; while the continued
enjoyment of the privilege of
conducting an interstate bust
ness would be made contingent
upon accurate annual statements
to be submitted to the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor or
such bureau as might be placed
in charge of the interstate cor
porations. This idea. which
originated with James B. Gar
field when he was chief of the
Bureau of Corporations, re-
ceived the appreciation of the
President several years ago and
in his last message to Congress
he suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of
the National Legislature giving
serions consideration at the last
session. Pursuing the same
policy as that by which he Sc
cured the enactment of the rail
way rate law, Mr.. Roosevelt
then consulted numerous ad-
visors on the subject and in his
speech at indianapolis on De-
coration Day emphasized the
necessity of such legislation,
following this up month or two
later with an even more en-
phatic declaration in his speech
at Provincetown, Mass.
Senator Thomas G. Platt, the
senior Senator from New York
State, than whom there is no
keener nor more accurate obser-
yer of the political horoscope, in
spite of his physical infrmities,
has declared that Secretary
Taft will be the next Republican
candidate for President. When
asked his opinion as to the next
Repu blican candidate for Presi.
dent. the reply was, II think it
will be Secretary Taft. It is
evident to me that President
Roosevelt would not have placed
Secretary Taft in the field un-
less he purposed to stand by
him. It is true that the political
aspirations of many men have
been killed by starting their
booms too soon, but I think
Secretary Taft's case is some
what different. President RoOse-
welt will, undoubtedly, dominate
the convention, and if, as I be-
lieve he is SINGERS in his advocacy
of the nomination of Taft, be
will nominate the Secretary of
War as his successor.
