he Naval SartorinI Tax

Naval officers must receive with every
manifestation Of appreciation the an
nOuncement from the Bureau Of Naviga-
ton that no radical changes in the uni
form will be imposed by official orders
until there is ample opportunity TO wear
out the apparel which is prescribed by
existing regulations. In these days of
strenuous living and the urgent need
Of increase Of service pay, there ought
not 10 be fastened upon naval officers-or,
for that matter. upon officers Of the army
requirements of dress which are largely
ephemeral. If not positively effeminate.
II IS only now and then that any really
necessary and reasonable change is made
in the army and navy uniform. Most OF
the changes are in those minute particu-
lars which add to the decorations. This
Is frequently done in the guise of making
the insignia more distinct and recogniz-
able. but in the end il has added TO the
expense, which must be incurred by the
officers in the requirement of a uniform
according 10 regulations. There is prob
ably no escape from such apparel as the
special full dress" Of the navy. since
our naval officers must not be placed in
the position of looking less glittering
than the foreigners with whom they
come in contact; but Il is a good sign.
which reflects great credit upon the naval
authorities that they propose to tackle
the uniform question in a way which
does not overlook the personal expense
Of any change which is authorized.

Financial skies Frightening.

Secretary Cortelyous decision 10 issue no
more Treasury certificates may be taken
as an indication that he is convinced the
Panama bonds soon TO be issued. to-
gether with such certificates as have al
ready been put out, will fully meet the
necessity for government measures of
financial relief the pressing demand for
which is daily diminishing. As it was
originally purposed 10 issue only such
quantity of the certificates as was re-
quired, the Secretary's decision does not
necessarily mean that he has suddenly
discovered the unwisdom OF their use in
the present emergency. but only that the
situation has so far bettered that further
issues may be dispensed with. Critics OF
the certificate issue, who have feared for
undue imitation OF the currency, will be
silenced on that point. and time will prove
whether their predictions as to a re-
dundancy of money after the New Year
are correct.
We adhere 10 the belief that the Treas

tive Of good, and that IL fault Is to be

CANCER AND MEAT-EATING.
Chicago Investigations Appear to
Establish Close Connection.

From Current Literature.
Nothing could seem more definite than
the connection between cancer and the
practice Of eating igferior meat traced
by DR.. @. Cooke Adams in a series OF
statistical studies given out last month
by the Chicago Board Of Health. There
cannot be the slightest doubt" to employ
the positive language OF this expert Brit
ish investigator, that the great increase
in cancer among the foreign-born in Chi
cago over the prevalence Of that disease
in their native countries is due to the in
creased consumption Of animal foods. par

original deductions made by Dr. Adams
from Investigations conducted IN Australia
and London. and extended over number
OF years. The foreign-born in Chicago
are enabled through higher rates Of wages
10 indulge in a meat diet denied them in
Europe. They make use OF the supplies
derived from condemned animals and
from the canned products Of establish

Temperance Legislation Abroad.

From the New York Tribune
More than one European country Is
taking even more advanced ground in
temperance reform than has been pro
posed here. We cannot recall any Amer
lean prohibition law as stringent as that
which Finland is seeking TO establish.
When in one Of our States il was dis
covered that through inadvertence the
law was so drawn as possibly 10 pre-
vent the use of wine at the communion
services of churches il was quickly and
generally conceded that an amendment
must be made so that there would be
10 interference with worship But in
Finland the clause expressly banishing
wine from the communion table was pur-
posely inserted into the bill The inter-
ference with personal liberty" in sump-
tuary matters is far more marked In sew
eral European countries than II is here.
The merits OF some Of our temperance
legislation may be open to discussion:
but at least It cannot be truthfully main
tanned that this country. or any part OF
IL. is alone or unique, or even extremely
advanced in me6dling with mans sup

Price she mas none
Nor shame she knows
Happy 10 live.
Unlike those Of the garden nigh.

To the fiery puTsuer's dart;
SuperDly shy.

Or nest Of the heaTing mounds TO lie
Or path Of the bride bestrew.

But nought Of that is her share.
Hardly from wsyfaTerS tramping along
glance they care not 10 renew.
And she at a word Of the claims Of kin
shrinks 10 the level Of roads and meads;
She IS only plain princess Of the weeds,
As an Outcast witless Of sin;
Much disTegarded. save by the few
Who love her. that has not a spot Of deceit.
No promise OF sweet beyond sweet.
Often descending to sour.
On any fair breast she would die in an hour.
Praises she scarce could bear.
We're any Wild poet TO praise.
Her aim Is TO rise into light and air.

formation is due 10 4 freak Of erosion: and

ton Of some torrenuaI stream which first
Isolated the columns and then shaped
