IL WI be noticed from the above
that there has been n steady decrease
In, the number Of incendiary fires since
the law went into effect, particularly
since the. year 1896. and the reason for
this decrcaseS is OF course the law and
the investigations which have been
p conducted under it. The efficiency OF
the law is shown by a comparison of
4 the percentage Of inccndiary fires in
= The year 1895. which was S.64 per cent,
with that of the incendiary fires in 1906,
which was .Gj per cent.

( lature that year required the clerks of

This law was not without results but
the need Of further legislation was APP

; changed by the passage of an act to
provide for the investigation of the

Comes Under Ban of Post

Following the arrest at Swanton, Nd.
Of w. 6. Wagner. on a charge of using
the United States mails TO defraud. the
Postofhce Department yesterday issued
a fraud order against Wagner
An investigation conducted by the
Washington postoffice inspectors dis
closed that Wagner has for some months
been advertising in newspapers that he
would sell 200 pounds of best gra nu-
lated sugar for s. and that when ne re-
ceived remittances for sugar, he would
appropriate the same without taking the
trouble to send the sugar
Wagner, in one or two isolated cases
IL is stated by the inspector, filed the
orders at loss TO himself In order to
Induce further orders from the same
neighborhood. In one case Wagner is
said to have received an order for 50
worth of sugar from man at Taylors-
vile, Ill, which he filled at a cost to
himself of $l7, but he was repaid, as the
fellow bit hard a second time and sent
an order for 5000 pounds at a cost Of
$50. for which a money order was sent
Wagner is said to have spent most Of
his life in the vicinity of Cumberland
Md. He is unmarried, and has always

Spaghetti and Real Estate.

1t is interesting to find Horace
Fletcher. the man who chews, the
apostle of the ruminants, calling at
tention TO the Italian menu.
Look at the Italian laborer, a"
says Mr.. Fletcher, 1.-The man who
performs the really hard manual Ia
Dor on our streets and on our build
ings today, and see what he eats.
Meat has a very small place in his
dietary. He goes ont to work in the
early morning with scarcely any
breakfast, perhaps none at all, and
at noon, when his labor has whetted
his appetite to a keen edge he sits
down and eats-what? A piece of
bread and an onion, or a bunch Of
finocchio, or a tomato. He may
drink some beer with it or he may
not.
after this meal he starts I'm
working again, thoroughly refresh
ed, thoroughly satisfied, and works
up an appetite for his evening meal,
which probably consists of dish
of spaghetti or macaroni and some
cheese. I do not say the Italian
way of living is ideal, but 1 cite it
as an example of what the simplest
diet viii enable man t. do"
Truly, the simple life, as exem-
plified by our Italian Beighbors, is
q life worth looking into. 1t laughs
at pepsin pills and butchers bills.
1t gives assurances of a long, happy,
and prosperous life. Have you ever
considered the close relationship be-
tween the plain and penny-wise Ital-
ian cuisine and the remarkable
wealth in real estate a good many
sons of sunny Italy have acquired
here in this bounteous country

combination of a basket. a. brush. and .

paratus IS the spoon-shaped appendaFe
