One has only to read the opening
paragraph of the preface to this book
to realize that the author has a serious
purpose. He asserts:
For every man, woman and child in
this country more than gallon of
paint is used every year: and the rela-
tive amount is increasing. Paint is

activities of the different orders over

Father Engelhardt takes issue with
many statements and differences by HUI
bert Howe Bancroft, and lest he be
charged with bias he presents in tho
appendix a quotation from The Quar-
terly of the Texas State Historical As
sociation," in which an expose of Ban
croft's methods was made. the his
torian being charged with not being the
sole author of the 80 volumes bearing
his name. Issue is definitely taken
with Bancroft in his presentation of the
history of Lower California, and par
ticu1arly in his dealing with the mis-
sioas.
The fact that this work is a church
mans compendium of the histories of
the missions gives 1t great value as
well as unusual interest 1t is singu-
larly free from bias, the author not
hesitating to relate incidents that a
narrow mind would not have hesitated
to minimize or omit.
The text is enriched by good illus
trations and the book is substantially
made and tastefully bound.

Omar Fitzgerald was born on
March Is. 1909. and already there are
signs that on that date next year there
may be appropriate celebrations. One
admirer has emerged into print anx-
tously to ask if something can not be
done to erect a memorial to the noted
man of letters. A tablet or some such
modest tribute is conceivable, but the

Notice to Patrons Of Rural Routes.

On cold mornings it is no easy
matter to rake a penny out of the
corner of a mail box, and if the
carrier has on gloves, which he
generally does, he must take these
off and lose some time in attend
ing to the matter. Tho following
from a postmaster is therefore
timely and should be needed every
where:
Richfeld, N. c., Jan. 28.-Post-
master John ID. Earnhardt~ of
Richfeld, N. G., desires to call at
tention to the practice of some
patrons of rural delivery of pla-
cling loose coins in their boxes
each time they desire to dispatch
letters instead of supplying them
selves with postage IN advance OF
their needs.
This practice imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers in re-
moving loose coins from boxes
and delays them Oh service OF
their routes.
The postmaster, therefore ur'
gently requests that patrons OF
rural delivery provide themselves
and keep on hand a supply OF
stamps consistent with and in ad'
vance of their needs. It is also
very desirable that rural patrons
place in their mail boxes small de
tachable cup of wood or tin II
which to place coins, when neces'
sary, in purchasing supplies Of
stamps.

HARRY THAW ACQUITTED.
Degenerate is Still Held. Judge Bowling
Will Require lunacV Commission.

The second trial of Harr,
Thaw, for the murder of Stanford
White in June of 1905, came to al
end Yesterday with a verdict O
not guilty based upon the defense
of insanity.
This verdict was reached aftel
the jury had elaborated nearly
twenty-four hours. It came after
three weeks of testimony and two
days Of speeches. District Attor'
ney Jerome prosecuted Thaw anc
Martin W. Littleten defended
him. He made no appeal upor
the unwritten law humbug, but
argued straight out insanity ano
won.
The Thaw case has been the
most read, because it was the most
salacious thing of recent crimes
The first trial lasted three
months, the second scarcely more
than that number of weeks. 1t
was a record breaker.
As soon as the jury returned a
verdict of not guilty. Mr.. Little
ton moved a discharge. Judge
Bowling refused upon the ground.
that there had been no testimony
that Thaw has been or a be
cured. of his insanity, and that an
outbreak is liable to occur at any
time. Mr.. Littleton will make
another fight for the release of his
client and the prisoner himself
has been known to say that he
would prefer death to commitment
to the insane asylum.
The Thaw trial has cost the
family and the State of New York
combined, half a million. Del
phin NJ. Delmas, who first defend
ed him, is said to have received a
fee of 500, 900 and the mental ex-
perts were paid handsomely for
their services. The young MUIR
derer is wealthy and the man he
killed was the greatest architect
in the United States. It was these
circumstances that made the trial
one of such SURPRISING interest to
everybody.
The young degenerate and idiot
has spent eighteen months in Jail
awaiting trial. He finds a great
deal Of Sympathy throughout the
country and the end of the case
stops the greatest space killer on
record.

TWO SECONDS FOR LUNCH.
One Meal CAM Be Made Of Tablets Of Con-
centrated Food.

A plausible notion cherished by
a great many people is that the
day is fast approaching when the
human race will subsist entirely
on highly concentrated food; the
time occupied in eating the daily
meals will be saved, it is promis-
ed, by swallowing essence, and
all questions of fastidousness for
food will be banished, while the
dyspepsia arising from an over
bulky and hastily-swallowed meal
will finally disappear.
The idea of subsisting entirely
on nothing bnt tablets of concen.
trated food is Of course utterly
fellacious as The London Lancet
points out, and plainly opposed
to sound physiological teaching.
Forbreakfast and for the evening
meal we must content our
selves with food served in the
good old-fashioned way, but for
lunch-the "quick lunch" of the
busy man-the tabloid meal to
consist of one or two tablets,
washed down by a hasty gulp of
milk or something stronger, is re-
ceivipg serious consideration.
Such a lunch would not require
more than one or two seconds for
consumption, whereas the quick
est Of "quick lunches" of today
cannot be eaten under five minutes.
or so.
There is no danger that man.
kind will ever take entirely to
tabloid foods. Such a dietetic
contamination, The Lancet says,
would probably end in the extinc-
tion of the human race by disease
as a seqence of hamilton. The
fact the volume of food serves a
definite purpose in the body.
Highly concentrated foods are
prone to be very irritating to the
digestive organs, and. they also
tend to exhaust the secretory
powers of the stomach.
Concentrated meat essence con-
tanning merelythe extractives of
meat are, for example, the most
powerful exciters of castle secre-
ton that we possess, but when
partaken of exclusively they avail
nothing in the direction of real
nutrition and lead most likely to
serious waste of tissue; in a word,
to starvation.
When kept within reasonable
limits the bulkness of food excites
a healthy stimulus to the muscu-
lar action of the stomach and d.
gestive organs. Food must have,
so to speak, a physiological bal
last before it is acceptable to the
digestihb processes.
The simplest way of reducing
the bulk Of most foods is by de-
priving them of their natural
moisture. Eight pounds of NUT
ton or beef would thus be reduced
to two pounds of dry substance,
but the water must be replaced to
a large extent before the meat
can be cooked or eaten. There
are, of course, particular cases,
as, for example, in illness, in
which it is necessary that the diet
should be sparing in quantity and
yet highly nutritious IN quality,
but in health the use Of concen-
trated foods is physiologically alb
surd, if not Wash

VERY Industrious one from the
work they did as compared with
the number in thu crowd.
At shutdown all hands collected
around the house and a spirit of
good feeling ran through the en-
tire assembly, where and when
the "Union" was organized with
the following officers and mem
bers:
A. W. Shipping. Pres; N. M.

After installing officers and
initiating members the meeting
was considered open and "busi-
ness of the Union" taken up.
Vital topics of the day we're ably
discussed by the officers and mem-
bers, and after the possibilities
and probabilities for a 'presiden-
tial candidate" were fully explain
ed by the Secretary and his opin-
ion that "~Secretary Taft will ure
get the nomination" carried by a
majority. 1t this point an in
terruption occurred when the good
ladies of the union had the tur-
key, guinea and good things ready

and what they did can be imagin-
ed by thinking of woodchoppers
eating supper after working hard
to keep warm. All agreed that
the first meeting was a very u
cessful one as the entire crowd
worked we'll together in perfect
harmony and nothing but the
best feelings was shown in the
band of workers.
After a few comments upon the
panic and other things by the
president, it was moved and car-
ried that a meeting be had at each

until enough wood~was cut for the
winter and other pressing business
attended to.

They can do this by making a

10 RECRUITS

Hattiesburg Proves Bonanza For
Recruiting Officer During
Month Of November.

Sergeant w. l. Shaw, who is in
charge of the recruiting station at this
place for the war department. states
that for the month of November there
were sixteen applicants for enlist
ment into the service. OF this num-
Der, IL were accepted. This was not
only good months work. but the
number of applicants that were &C.
cepted was above the average, the
usual number who can pass being
about one-half.
In this district there are fire re-
cruiting stations for army service, Of
which Hattiesburg is one. There was
a total of 46 accepted, IL being re-
cruited at this place. 1t is. probable
that something like 20 were recruit
ed in New Orleans, which is the
largest city in the district. Outside

CLEARING The WAY FOR ROOT.
Get busy.

CLEARING The WAY FOR ROOT.
The formal withdrawal of Timothy
Woodruff from the Senatorial contest
in New York practically assures the
election of Elihu Root as the sue
cessor of Thomas Collier Plat.
The situation means that the coun-
try will lose the services of a brilliant
Secretary of State to gain a powerful
senator. 1t is not clear who is to
succeed Mr.. Root as secretary of state,
but the nation will be fortunate if
there should follow him a man DOS
sessing 80 per cent. of his ability.
Some of the most significant strides
in American diplomacy have been
made under his direction, not the least
being the agreement between Japan
and the United States which has lust
been announced. The most serious
mistake made by Mr.. Root during his
incumbency as secretary of state was
made within the range of domestic,
rather than foreign, politics. His
speech declaring for constitutional
amendment by judicial interpreta-
ton" was revolutionary and PERM
cious. And in the senate it will prob
ably return often to plague him. That
aside, his career as secretary has
been distinguished and admirable, and
he merits the applause of men who
differ with him in the political funda-
mentals.
New York will be an emphatic gain
er by the shift. Plat has been not
only a failure, but a stigma, as a SEN
ator. With Mr.. Root wearing the
toga, New York's senatorial delega-
tion will command respect, which it
does not now command because it
does not merit it.
