VIZ ASHINGTON. The nursery of
w Tafts boom for the presidential
nomination was a room in the eXecu-
tive offices of the White House
grounds, where President Roosevelt,
before he left for his home at Oyster
Bay. was shaved each work day. Here,
when the boom was a green and ten
der thing, its first young shoots pushed
to the light. Here it IA coaXed to
sturdier growth. Here, in full blossom,
ii was talked over and admired.
Frank Hitchcock was the official and
the president the unofficial manager
Of the Taft boom. The president, at
these heart-to-heart talks with the can
didate. was in a barber chair. A cer
tain White House messenger welded
the razor and lather brush. 1t was the
only part of the day when official bust
ness did not claim all of R~oosevelt's
time. 1t was Taft's one chance to do
most of the talking.
Even then. the barber had to be
Watchful, and quick to snatch away
the brush or blade. When 7. X. wants
TO talk he sometimes forgets he is be-
ing shaved. If the BARRIERS hand had
not a gamblers quickness, the presi-
dent would have had the lather brush

nomination for treasurer of Macon
county, an office which pays about
$1,000 q year. He is hurry Sandsky,
and he frankly admits that personally
he will not be able to perform the cler-
ical duties of the office, but his wife
is bright and familiar with figures, and
she is ready to attend to the real
work of the Office.
Mr.. Sandrsky is a b~arytone singer,
and when attending political meetings
or rallies he sings instead of making
speeches. He has become popular be-
cause of his strangely sweet voice.
At n night meeting the lights went
out, but he did not know it, and kept
on with his song.
Mrs. Sandusky accompanies her hus-
band on his campaigning tour and
guides him about from place to place.
They make no secret of the manner In
which the Office is to be run, but
pledge themselves that the duties will
be faithfully performed.
Mr.. Sandusky was born in Sullivan.
Ind, SO years ago. The greater part
of his life has been passed in Mis-
souri,. For some time he titled a
large farm northwest of Macon. One
day he suffered a sunstroke. He re-
covered the use of his body, but ne
has not been able to see since.

Wholesale Prices Are Highest in Years

year 1907,
When the commodities are divided
into nine groups every group shows an
increase in price in 1907 as compared
with 1906. For farm products taken
as a whole this increase was greatest,
namely, 1919 per cent; for food, as
per cent; for clothes and clothing, Sc

81 per cent; for lumber and building
materials, 40 per cent; for drugs and
chemicals, S.3 per cent; for house
furnishing goods, 6.S per cent, and
for the miscellaneous group, five per
cent.
The effect of the money s%tringency
in the latter part of the last year is
reflected in the decrease recorded in
all commodities during November and
December, the average price showing
a decrease of 3.5 per cent. below Oc-
tober. OF the 25S articles for which
wholesale prices were recorded 172

Wiley's Poison Squad End Their Test

other injurious substances, there is d
wide field for the students to expert

One of the most interesting posi-
bilitieS is the determination of Wheth-
er or not feungreek, the famous old
world herb remedy, which is part of
most medicines advertised to increase
flesh, is really what it is said to be,
ald will accomplish the purposes for
which it is advertised. A class in
feungreek is said to be one of the pos
sibilities of the early future.
Condition foods for animals also
offer a field of endeavor hat DIR.
Wiley may yet explore to determine
if the claims made for the various
brands of food are really true.
The experiments conducted by DR..
Wiley are the first large experiments
of the sort conducted in the scien-
tifc world. The classes, which were
started in the fall of 1902, have al
ready gone through a variety of ex-
periments. Borax and boric acid were
the first to receive attention, eulphuric
acid, benzote, formaldehyde and cop
per salts have also been fully tested
as to their effects on the human sys-
tenn when taken with food.

Taft Boom Was Born in Barber Shop

In his eye as often as he had it in his
and the midday cultivation Of the
boom of Taft started at 1 p. m. and
lasted a half hour.
Taft, when he was in Washington
often saw the president several times
in the morning. But Mr.. Roosevelt
had many things on his mind then and
no leisure. For an hour or longer aft
err 1870 his outer office was filled with
men who had appointments.
At the one o'clock shaving time
came the first respite. The room in
which the president was shaved is
small, narrow one, between the presi
dents office and that of Secretary
Loeb. 1t is used as an anteroom tC
both offices. On the wall is a long
framed photograph of a squadron OF
bat~tleships.
At this window is a low-set leather
upholstered chair. Against the wal
at one side a writing desk.
When the time for shaving arrived
the low, leather covered chair was
pulled out from the wall. A neat foot
rest of two steps was produced from
under the writing desk and set in front
of the chair.
Roosevelt took his place. Then
came Taft, who pulled up another
chair alongside.
When Taft was away Roosevelt oft
en- received others in the shaving peri
cd. Sometimes the correspondents
talked with him there. Sometimes il
was Hon. Jimmy Garfield, he Of the
classic brow.

Dummy Used TO Make Test.

Walking day and night, without a
single stop, a dummy soldier is max
ing 100, 900 steps every "a hours in an
endurance test to determine the life
of several cartridge belts which
are under consideration by the board
Of ordnance and fortifcation of the
army. The dummy's tour of duty is at
the Rock Island Uli.) arsenal. The
dummy is the size of an average sol
der. By a special mechanical appa-
ratus it is made to walk, with the
guidance of a wire cable, as though on
sentinel duty, in a circle in one end of
a hall. The mechanism is such as to
give the dummy the same motion as
would be experienced by the average
soldier in walking. About the waist
of the figure are strapped the various
belts, n at a time, which are being
tested. Each is filled with the regula-
ton number of rounds of service cart
ridges, the principal test being made
with the sharp-nose bullets, to deter
mine how long it will take for these
to wear through the pockets of the
belts.

THE retirement of Secretary of War
1 Taft leaves but two men in Roose-
velt's cabinet who were there when
he succeeded to the presidency on the
death of President Mckinley. These
are Secretary of State Root and Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson.
Mr.. Root was secretary of war when
Mr.. Roosevelt became president in
September, 1901. He shortly after
ward retired from the cabinet, but
was persuaded to re-enter 1t upon the
death of Secretary of State Hay.
There have been more changes and
shifts in President R~oosevelt's cab.
met than in that of any of his prede
cessors. He has had two secretaries
of state, Hay and Root. He has had
three secretaries of the treasury,
Gage, Shaw and Cortelyou.
With Luke e. Wright he has had
three secretaries of war, Root, Taft
and Wright. Ne has had three attor
neys general, Knox, Moody and Bona
parte; five postmasters general
Smith, Payne, Wynne, Cortelyou and
Meyer; five secretaries of the navy
Long, Moody, Morton, Bonaparte and
Metcalf.
He has had two secretaries of the in
terror, Hitchcock and Garfield. He has
had one secretary of agriculture, Will
son, and three secretaries of commerce
and labor, Cortelyou, Metcalf and
Straus.
The retirement of Secretary Taft
has led to some speculation as to how
long Mr.. Wilson will continue at the
head of the department of agriculture

Makes New Record for Cabinet Changes

The chances are that he will continue
to serve through the term of Mr..
Roosevelt, and should Secretary Taft
succeed to the presidency, it is posi-
BILE that Secretary Wilson would con-
tinue in the cabinet. 1t will be 10
years next March since Wilson be-
came secretary of agriculture. He is
70 years old, but a mar of great activ-
ity. However, it has been a matter
of some surprise that he has continued
in office so long, as it has been the
Roosevelt tendency to get younger
men into his cabinet.
