GERMAN TELEGRAPH CENSUS.
Show. Why United States With Twice
the Population Sends Only Half as
Manv Messaoea ma Great Britain

the Population Sends Only Half as
Many Messages as Great Britain.
An investigation just completed by
the German government shows that
Great Britain sends the largest num-
Der of telegraph messages year-94,-
100000. The United States, with twice
the population Of the United Kingdom,
sends only 65,OOOOOO messages, Ger.
many 100000 and France 5S,OO0 900.
The position of the United States in
the next telegraph census will no doubt
be improved by the quick, low cost
service of the new telegraph company,
the Telepost.
The United States has 1855, 4S0
miles of telegraph wire, four times
as much as the United Kingdom, but
the American companies earn only $24
per mile against earnings Of 5000 in
Great Britain. where the average cost
per message is only 16 cents as com.
pared to an average cost Of 81 cent
here.
In Germany the government lines
find it profitable to carry ten word
message between any two points in
the empire for - cents. This is the
rule upon which the Telepost will op.
crate here-a fat rate of twenty-five
words for % cents between all points.
The success of the German system
appears to confirm the wisdom Of the
Tclepost in making rate without re.
gard to distance. With the largely in.
creased business that is shown to be
the result of low rates and good serv-
ice and with the economies made pos.
sible by the Telepost's automatic sys-
tenn. experts who have studied the
question believe that the new company
will make a larger profit at 25 cents
for twenty-five words than the old
companies make at much higher rates.

reasons why the house insurgents will
be especially determined in their effort
for revision Of the rules. They will
want q chance at real consideration
of some aspects of the tariff, and they
believe they will have small chance If
the bill is brought forward under pres
ent rules.
The expectation is commonly enter
tanned, that the traditional positions OF
house and senate will be to con-
siderable extent reversed on the tariff
this time The senate has been In the
past the chief stronghold of high pro-
lection. This time 1t is considered
likely that the senate will be pretty
equally divided on some important
propositions. and that the revisionists
may prove stronger there, for practical
purposes, than in the house.

Try This For a Severe
Cough.

Take a pint of Granulated Sugar,
add u cup Of water, stir and let
boil just a moment. Put 21z OF.
of Pinex in a pint bottle and fill it
up with the Granulated Sugar
Syrup. Shake we'll and take a tea
spoonful every one, two or three
hours.
The prompt results from this
simple, HON made remedy will
surprise you. 1t has been known
to conquer a deep seated cough in
"a hours. 1t is also an excellent
thing for whooping cough. soreness
of the lungs, bronchial troubles
and other throat affections.
The proportion above suggested
is enough to last a family a long
time. 1t is equally effective for
young or old, and has n very pleas
ant taste Well corked, it never
spoils. 1t takes less than five min
utes to prepare, and is very mex
pensive. The 21a OF. Of Pinex
should cost you about fifty cents,
and the Granulated Sugar about
four cents.
Pinex, as you probably know, is
the most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway White Pine
Extract. 1t is rich in guaiacol
and other elements that make the
ozone of the pine forests so effec-
tive in curing throat and lung dis
eases.
There are many pine tar and
pine oil preparations. but none Of
these are to be compared with the
real Pinex itself All druggists
have it or can get it for you with
out trouble If requested.

swEARs OFF ON TIPPING
John w. ;ates Discovers That He Has
Been "stuns." IS

John ". Gates has sworn OF tipping
hotel employees He says, however, that
he may give tip to an extra good
waiter on an extra good dinner. Il
happened this way:
A matter Of hundred or more let
tiers and kilograms arrive every day a.
the Plaza for Mr.. Gates. He has beef
in the habit of giving Is cents per let
ter or telegram when delivered to hit
room or in any part Of the hotel BY {
bellboy. y
81 never gave much thought to what
this habit cost me" said Mr. Gates
"but | guess ] have been 'stung' to Z
very nice extent"
The bellboys at the Waldorf and
Plaza, where Mr.. Gates has made his
headquarters, discovered this 25-cent
habit. Perhaps several letters would
arrive at one time. The bellboys would
stamp them at intervals Of ono or two
minutes apart, and long line Of boys
would keep busy making their way to
the room of Mr.. Gates. Each arrival
meant q new quarter.
That day Mr.. Gates had an unusual
number Of kilograms. It Sc happened
that one arriving at 1855 did not
reach him until 1905. It was dated ct
noon.
Mr.. Gates was just bit. provoked
and started an investigation. Then he
discovered that his letters and tele.
grams ALWAYS arrived one at a time.
Guess that is going some" said Mr..
Gates-agoing fast enough anyway to
keep me from giving any more tips In
hotel. I go on record now and for
ever as swearing I will never give q
tip in q hotel, no matter whereI am"

Criticising Party Methods.

The Troy News Republican paper, published at
Troy Latah County, Idaho, continues to take ser
ious view of the scheme arranged by the Republican
machine for the control of the Republican state nom
mating convention through which the chairman of
the state committee is to be given the gubernatoral
nomination.
The News has ascertained that trusted agent of
the machine, Charles J. Munson of Boise, has been
working the state from the top of the map to the
bottom in the interest of the conspiracy that culmn
ated in the letter issued by Chairman Brady through
which he yielded to the pressure of friends" and
consented to place himself at the head of the public
business
