Poor Comfort,

Apropos of the pretensions Of those

quite unaware that their sensible old
uncle was lying awake In his chamber
and could hear every word from where
they stood In the corridor.

Cramp Rinos.

Formerly it was customary for kings
OF England on Good Friday to hallow
certain rings, the wearing Of which
prevented cramp or epilepsy. They
were made from the metal Of decayed
cotdns and eonsecrated with an elab-
crate ceremony. some details of which
are still preserved. They were highly
recommended by the medical profess

In his "Breviary Of Health" speaking
Of cramp says. The 'kynge's majes-

in hallowing crampe ringes with

cramp rings played persuasive part
In diplomacy. Lord Berners, our am

LOCAL FEDERATIONS.
Are Recommended by the Federal
Council of Churches.

Philadelphia, Dec. 5.-After holding
two business sessions a day with four
great popular meetings each night,
since the convention first met the fed
eral council of the churches of Christ
in America, which is organized to bring
protestant churches into common ac-
ton in spreading the gospel, decided to
hold but one session today. The 400
delegates have kept we'll up with the
programme arranged and have, taken
up much new business that developed
during the sessions.
Among the matters considered at to-
days session was the organization of
local declarations and the immigration
problem. These came before the coun-
Gil in the form of reports from com
mittees. The report on local fedora
lions contained suggestions for the or
ganization of local organizations. In
this connection the committee present.
ed resolutions which were adopted ex-
pressing the conviction of the federal
council that in view of conditions that
exist in cities, small towns and rural
communities that the time has come
when the churches should Join their
forces in federated effort and that the
aim should be to make a local fedora
ton a means through which the evan

REFUSES THE MONEY.
Rev. DIR. Huntington Turns Back q
Gift of $4,000.

New York, Dec. 5.-Presented with
$4,000 by members of his congregation
on the occasion of the twenty-fifth an
niversary of his rectorship of Grace
church, this city. the Rev. DR.. William
Reed Huntington has declined to ac-
cept the gift and has turned it back
for use in the church. In a letter he
suggests to the parishioners that the
income from the sum be used during
his rectorship to carry on parochiaI,
charitable and missionary work In the
event of his retirement from the church
he is to make use of the income himself,
but when he dies it shall revert to the
church treasury.
In his letter DR.. Huntington, who is
20 years old, says:
II cannot but think, in view of the
disparity now existing in local incomes
that any merely personal method of US
ing this splendid offering would seem
to my brethren in the ministry selfish
in the extreme"

state possesses it's greatest value, its
use in other WAYS must be encourag-
ed. To make it a popular foods there
must be variety in its preparation
Cooking or canning apples do not de-
tract materially from their value, and
serve to increase their use. In fact
most people would tire of the apple
if served three times a day in its ma
tural state. 1t is the various ways it
may be served which add to the value
of the apple as food.
An apple pie might much better be
eaten than some of the rich pastry
now so common in the American
home. The baked apple is one of the
best forms in which the fruit can be
served, second to the natural apple
itself Apple cider is more healthful
than many of the beverages which
take the place of it nowadays. APP
pie sauce and apple butter are splen-
did foods and possess all the values
of the apple itself and serve to make
the use of the fruit more common.
las a food there is probably no fruit
so beneficial as the apple. 1t has no
equal as a nerve and brain food. Be
sides being an excellent and healthful
food in itself, the acids contained in the
apple are a great aid in stimulating
the digestive processes. A few apples
eaten regularly every day in some form
or another would go far to removing
the numerous digestive ills that attack
mankind. Apples as a food should be
placed alongside the potato or wheat
products

TELEGRAM Fi>OM TAFT.
Is Read at Today's Session of the
Mining Congress.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 5.-When the
fourth and last days session of the
eleventh annual convention of the
American Mining congress opened here
today it was apparent all unfinished
business would be cleared up by this
afternoon and the meeting, which is
pronounced the most successful in the
life of the organization, would adj
journ.
An interesting telegram from Presi-
dent-elect Taft, was readI before the
convention this morning Following is
the message:
Il am glad of an opportunity to ex-
press my interest in the important
work which the American Mining con-
gress is doing in behalf of the mining
industry and 1 desire to encourage and
cooperate in this work in every posi-
BILE way.
1.-The mining industry of this country,
which is second only to agriculture in
it's contribution to the national wealth,
which furnishes more than Sc per cent
of the total freight traffic of the cOun-
try and which employees more than 4
million men in its difficult and danger
Gus tasks deserves all the assistance
which this government can render 1t.
mo country is so rich in those re-
sources which make for great and per-
manent wealth as is the United States:
but this condition of itself has helped
develop a national habit of waste in
the use of our forests, our soils. our
minerals and other resources Fortu-
nately, however, the public conscience
of the country is awakening to both the
loss of life and waste of materials in
all our industries and we must see to
it that the movement is guided wisely
and carried forward to success.

lutions and the mineral conditions In

THAT HIGH SCHOOL CASE.
state Isn't Attempting to Knock Out
County Law.

Assistant Attorney General John
Dawson makes this statement concern
ing the case filed in the supreme court
the high school law in Cove county:
Many people will get the impression
from this proceeding that the state is
trying to have this law declared in
valid. AS a matter of fact, the state is
fighting such action. This suit was
brought on behalf of dissatisfied Cove
county parties by Lee Monroe, To-
peka, lawyer, in the district court of
Cove county I represented the other
side of the case, and beat the case in
the district court. Monroe appealed to
the supreme court. I am confident that
l will win the case in the supreme
chances on interrupting the progress of
the high school during the present
term, arranged with Mr.. Monroe that
he should dismiss his appeal, and start
in to make test of the question
through an action in the name of the
state. The attorney general allowed
the states name to be used on condi-
until April, and not decided until after
the school is over for the year.
There is a question involved which
should be tested in the courts, but the
state is anxious to have it tested in
such a way that it will not interfere
with the progress of the present school
wear. They have good high school in
Cove county and it has been operated
successfully for four years without any
protest. The state claims that even II
there was any defect in the original
organization of the school, such ques-
tions can no longer be raised because
of the lapse of time"

ANOTHER PIPE LINE.
Report of the X. G. Committee Who
Investigated the Gas Situation.

Chanute Kan, Dec. 5.-The MEM
bers of the commission appointed by
Mayor Thomas T. Crittenden, jr-, OF
Kansas City to investigate the condi-
ton of the gas field from which Kan
sas City derives its supply, and the ia
cilities of the Kansas Natural Gas
company for transporting it from the
field to the city, left for home this af-
ternoon. The commission consisted
of j. l.. Darnell, city engineer; DR..
Walter NJ. Cross, city chemist; Martin
Simpson, gas expert, and F. w. futile,
engineer.
While none of the party would an
nounce the nature of the report which
they would make to the mayor, all
agree in expressing their opinion that
the trouble lies with the transporta-
ton facilities which they say have be-
come inadequate to meet the demands
made by the increased number of con-
sumers. In discussing this phase OF
the situation, Mr.. futile said:
II see no chance for relief this
winter. The only thing that the COM
pany can do, in my opinion, is to cut
off some of it's larger consumers so
as to give its customers for domestic
purposes a chance. The trouble seems
to be that the amount consumed in
Kansas City has grown to where the
present transportation facilities are
not able to cope with 1t when cold
weather comes4 This might be RENE
died by constructing another sixteen
inch line from the Montgomery coun-
ty field and by installing additional
COMPRISING stations for pumping the
gas through the mains At the present
time the company has no reserve on
which to fall in case of an emergency.
Wherever we have gone, and we have
visited the various pumping stations,
all the machinery has been in opera
ton, which causes me to think that
the company is doing the best it can
with it's present facilities. There is no
question that there is plenty of gas
here The problem is to transport it,
and 1 do not believe that the company
will be able to solve this satisfactorily
during this winters cold spells.'
A similar opinion was expressed by
DR. Cross 81 believe there is gas
here to last for twenty-five years." he
said 1T is one of the richest fields to
be found anywhere. The trouble lies
between the field and the point of
distribution to the consumer"

FEvERIsH AND IRREGULAR.
Stock Market of the Week Shows
Many Ups and Downs.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE stock mar
ket of the week has been feverish and
irregular. Heavy realizing sales at
some points were accompanied by
furious buying at advances of others,
mostly in low priced stocks. Heavy
new issues of securities were accepted
as of hopeful import for resumption
of Improvement works. but this and
the export of gold to pay for the heavy
flow of American securities from for
eign markets to New York made such
inroads on banking supplies as to af-
feet the money market.
The f1rmer tone of the money mar
ket apparently awakened no serious
fears among spectators and the fact
that rates remained relatively low was
a prime factor in keeping up the
speculation. Misgivings were express
ed at times that the speculative pace
was too fast and evidence was cited
that the business revival was over
estimated. 1t was this that restrained
somewhat the rising tendency OF
prices.

DEFIES THE W. C. 7. U.
Head of Chicago Schools Stands by
Miss Reed

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Over the head sof
Miss Grace Reed, the Drake school
principal who has been attacked by
the w. c. T. u, for her defense of the
liquor traffic, President Schneider of
the board of education has dealt out
a caustic series of remarks concerning
the prohibition movement in America.
In my estimation" said the school
official, Miss Reed towers mountain
high above her critics. The Woman's
Christian Temperance Union and it's
Sympathizers appear to believe that the
worlds salvation depends on the ex-
termination of the saloon The adVo-
Gates of prohibition in many instances
are hypocrits. They seek to abolish
the saloon and at the same time take
their daily beverage from bottles LABEL
ed patent medicine
Just consider the way things really
go in the world. Drinking Germany
leads the civilized world in commerce
and science. Progress threw off the
letters of prohibition. when it became
civilized.
Il do not want to be understood
saying that the saloon is a necessary
factor of civilization. 1t is not but the
liquor traffic in no way retards civiliza-
ton.
These people are bigots. They go
through life with only one idea. They
are not open to conviction and there is
no use arguing with them. The Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union ask
ed me to prefer charges against Miss
Reed I shall do no such thing.
