Chicago.-The cigarette habit is
growing in popularity among Chicago
women. This is vouched for by the to-
bacco dealers, the beauty doctors, the
hairdressers and by certain physi-
clans. The tobacco dealers, who ought
to know, say they did not realize, I'M

which the cigarette craze had spread
among women How they did learn it
was through the scare that was caused
by the announcement that after GER

PRISON TRUCK FARM
ONE OF FEATURES OF MIseou.
PENITENTIARY.
Is Started Because Warden of lnsti,v
ton Likes to See Things Grow
Welcome Change in Con.
Vict Fare.

Jefferson City, Mo.-Truck gardou
ing on a large scale has become ono
of the features of the management -
the Missouri penitentiary, under Natt
w. Hall, who is a farmer when NOT IN
the public service, and has the inhorr
desire of all farmers to see tbiron
growing around him. On what IL
known as the state farm" he has tbie
year produced tremendous amount
of garden stuff of all kinds. all ~
which is utilized on the prison tabla
affording very welcome and health
full change of menu for the convictp
The state farm" consists of A.
acres of land. Part of it has been ont
away in supplying clay for the prison
brickyard, part is utilized as a mas.
ture, and about ii acres are titled for
the prison garden.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
output of the prison garden can he
gained by the statement that 40 bush.
els of snap" beans have already been
fed to the convicts this season. #
takes 70 bushels to go around at one
meal in the prison dining room.
On three-quarters of an acre of
ground 26,500 pounds of cabbage have
been cut this season. This is not all
of the cabbage crop, but this was an
early and unusually prolific patch"
There are several acres more of the
garden in cabbage.
Onions to the amount of several
hundred bushels, besides several
meals of young onions, served early
in the spring, radishes, rhubarb and
other stuff were grown in the greatest
abundance.
The pride of the warden and his su.
perintendent, John Brumer, centers,
however, in the tomato crop. Eleven
thousand seven hundred vines, cover.
ing something over three acres Of
ground, are in full fruit, and yield now
something like 40 bushels per day. A
more welcome addition to the prison
fare than sliced tomatoes could not
prolific and fine this season, and the
vines will keep on bearing until frost
Col. Hall figures on having enough
green tomatoes to pick late in Sep
TENDER to make several hogsheads of
Chow chow" and other pickles to add
to the prison larder.
The garden lies on top of some Of
the high bluffs overlooking the Mis-
souri, river. The land originally was
not the best, but has been brought to
a high state of productiveness by fer
tilization. Six or eight crippled and
superannuated convicts are employed
in the garden under the supervision of
Mr.. Brumer.
1t is the intention of Warden Hall
to put in next spring a small herd OF
COWS for the purpose of supplying
milk and butter for the prison hos
pital. They will be kept in connection
with the garden and will work con-
siderable saving to the state, as tn
milk and butter supply for the hos
pital now costs something like six dol
lars per day.

The Huge National Surplus
Means Excessive Taxation

One Of the evidences Of prosperity"
to which q certain class Of journals
point with pride is the fact that the
revenue of the United States for the
last fiscal year exceeds its outlays by
$S7. .000, 900. But in reality this indi-
Gates nothing more than excessive tax
alton. and the existence Of such large
surplus is constant invitation to ex-
travagant appropriations by Congress-
Ellis H. Roberts. formerly Treasurer
of the United States. points out in the
North American Review that this sur
plus of $S7, 200, 900. along with much
other public money, is q source of satis-
faction to National Banks. which on

posit to the enormous amount Of $751;
O00, ,000,. in addition to nearly e29, 9,000.-
900 in the Treasury over and above the
needs of the Government. None Of
this money earns interest, and none is
used to decrease the National debt.
What Mr.. Roberts proposes as rem
edy for over taxation is fiat reduction
of IS per cent on all sources of public
revenue. that being the percentage of
last years revenue in excess Of all ap-
propriations. But OF course the Stand
