a NEW NATIONAL PERIL.

"A question of national import will
be decided within the next sixty days.
70 the superficial observer this ques-
ton will seem of only local interest,
resolving itself into contest; between
the brain of the esteemed members
of the Aurora, ILL.,, board of health
and the Drawn and dietary powers of
President Thomas j. Allen of Aurora
college. But the true patriot will
take a broader view. He sees a ma
ticnal institution attacked and he will
await with patriotic interest the sue
cess or failure of the heroic de-
fense.
Before entering into discussion of
the controversy it should be stated
that the point at issue is this-shall
the fresh roasted peanut endure, or
shall it be placed under the ban as
Its associate of the past, the circus
parade, has been banished
This perplexing question arose
when an Aurora man became ill re-
Gently after eating peanut candy The
Aurora board of health Immediately
Jumped to the conclusion that there
is danger in the peanut, and unhesi.
family issued an edict setting forth
this conclusion. This reused the ire
Of President Allen, who would see no
dispersion cast upon his favorite food.
Accordingly he interviewed the mem
bers Of the board of health and made
an offer Of sixty day experiment,
agreeing to subsist solely during that
period on peanuts and to undergo a
daily examination that his heart &C
ticn and physical condition may be
tested. Just before laying in sup
ply of peanuts as provisions during his
dietary siege, Mr.. Allen, detecting q
note of credulity, offered to submit to
q stomach pump each day to prove
that his diet consisted solely of pea
outs.
Here's wishing President Allen sue
cess in his self-sacrificing defense of
the peanut. Here's hoping, too that
ne will throw dust in the eyes of the
scoffers by taking on a few pounds Of
extra weight during the experimental
period. For what would circus day
be without the peanut and Its cousin,
the glass of red lemonade? And what
FOOD would there be left for the root
er and the bug during the strenuous
baseball season if the peanut were
Gcnied them?

A GIANT TASK.

If the Illinois Federation of Won
ems clubs carries out one-half of the
reforms laid out in the report of its
civic committee at its convention now
in progress in Bloomington the ruling
powers Of the Illinois cities and towns
will have their hands full for some
time to come. Also the club women
will have course of study outlined
for them that will easily fill an eight
nour day. The report touches upon
everything that might properly come
under the head of public nuisances
For instance, the civic committee
recommends that scientific study be
taken up with a view to minimizing so
far as possible, such public nuisances
as the blowing of whistles, the switch
ing of trains and smoke. Crusades
must be taken up. the report insists,
against cigaret smoking. the cocaine
nabit, the scent theater and I'M
licensed hotels. Modern methods
must be applied in campaign of ex-
termination Of the house fly and the
mosquito. Unsightly advertising, d.
lapidated lamp posts, unnecessary
telegraph poles and dead trees must
be removed, the civic committee
nOlQS, ana mOCn nests In trees should
be destroyed.
The Illinois Federation evidently be-
lieves that in attempting reform it
might as well be made to cover every
thing Objectionable. However, there
is just suspicion that when the club
starts on its work it will find that
the program outlined is rather a big
Job to tackle in the year elapsing be,
tween federation meetings.
The attempt to exterminate the
lowly fly and the ubiquitous mosquito
Will pretty well fill years work with
out leaving much time to devote to
the other worthy reforms mentioned.
