his unanimous reelection as official
head of the Christian Endeavors in
the world was not more enthusiastic
an endorsement Of his great work
than the welcome which greeted Rev.

INTERESTING STORY IF TOBACCO
 TRUST
SETS FORTH THE RISE OF ONE or CoUNTRY's GREATEST
 COMBINATIONS.
BY CORPORATION COMMISSION
AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY STARTED IN BY MAKING
 CIGARETTES.

WASHINGTON, D. C., February IS. In a report transmitted to President Roosevelt today, Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations, presents some highly interesting history of the organization of the "Tobacco Combina- tion," which, in the magnitude of its business operations, is one of the great est organizations in America. The re- port is a result, in part, of an exten- sive investigation into the tobacco in- dustry made by the bureau of corpor- ations. Subsequent reports will deal with the control of the tobacco indus try, with prices and profits, and with competitive methods.
 Today's report sets forth the rise of one of the great combinations of the country. In his letter of transmittal, Commissioner Smith says that it Ideals with the history, from the standpoint of its organization, of the great Tobac- co combination. Starting in 1895 as the American Tobacco Company, man ufacturer of cigarettes, with q capital of S25 100000, the combination has now net capitalization (excmding inter company holdings) of s3l6,346,S2l. It has absorbed about 250 separate con cerns, and now controls substantially four ffths of the output of each impor- tant kind of tobacco manufactured in the United States, with the exception of cigars.
 "Its history also presents important features of stock manipulation. The f. nancial transactions centering around the organization of the Consolidated Tobacco Company in 1901 are especially noteworthy. At that time small body of directors and stockholders in the combination believed that the profits of the combination could be greatly in- creased in the immediate future. They organized the Consolidated Tobacco Company and offered it's bonds in ex- change for the common stock of the American and the Continental, in order thus to secure for themselves most of the increased profits about to accrue. The profits accruing to the common  stock of the American and the Continen- tai; after its acquisition by the Con- solidated, greatly increased; and the small body of men controlling the last named company--so small, in fact, that six of them held a majority of it's stock and thus controlled the entire combi- nation-became entitled to millions of dollars which, had it not been for the Consolidated transaction, would have gone to the original common-stock hold ers.''
 Commissioner Smith says that Tin fairness, it should be added that this offer of exchange was made with no con cealment of the fact that that offer came from the principal officers and di- reetors of the two companies,' but, he adds
 "The conduct of this group of men is a proper subject for criticism, how ever; because they could foresee much better than outside stockholders the large profits about to accrue. They oc. cupied fdueiary relation to the out side stockholders, and should have

shared with them equally the special knowledge acquired by their position. !" The report discusses at length the meth ods by which the tobacco combination has been developed, including the bo- gus independent concerns" of the com
 bination. It points out clearly that "the leading purpose of the men who
 have controlled it has been to dominate the tobacco industry. The report con tains not only the details of the fnan. cial operations of the combination in it's rise, but also many interesting side. lights on the schemes employed to make the combination paramount in the to- baceo industry.

THE WORD WINTER
Said te Have Originally Indicated
 Wstness. Not Coldness.

There Is prevailing impression that there is something in the word win ter" that signifies cold, and the sea- son is usually associated with the idea of low temperature, but where the word originated there was little of winter as we understand it. while there was great deal of moisture at the time the earth was nearest. to the sun, 80 that it is not the temperature but the atmospheric condition that has given us the word.
 The word winter" as we use it, is found with but slight notifications in all the branches of the Aryan lan- guages, for the idea of wetness asso- ciated with the season was given to it before the Aryan family was divided.
 If we go to the root of the word we find ''wad," with the signification of to well, to wash out to moisten or make wet. Our Aryan ancestors used that root to apply to all conditions of moisture, and many words besides winter have grown out of 1t, wet and watei being among them.
 This root ''wad" Is in the Sanskrit as "udan," water. Anglo-Saxon has "wae- ter" and fin Latin we have ''unda," wave, from which we get our ''inun- date"
 Our Danish and Swedish cousins changed the w" Into ~" and have winter" In Icelandic it is ''vetir." and the old high German has "win- tar,' and it is "winter" in German. These four words are all from the Teutonic base ''wata," which means wet So 1t has been moisture that has been indicated from the birth of the root on which all of the different words in dozen languages have grown New York Herald.

The Human Temperatars.

Put to the test of the thermometer. 1t appears that the normal tempera- ture of the body is almost invariabie, regardless of latitude or season. Put ting the bulb of the thermometer rn- der the tongue of an Eskimo at the frozen north or of man under the blazing sun of the tropics, we find that in each case, the body being in state of health, the temperature is about the same, the difference not amounting to a degree. We may say absolutely that the average normal temperature Of a human being is about 9S.5 degrees F., just as we may say that at sea level water boils at PIP degrees F.-- New York American.

The importance of keeping tab on baby's weight has become so well rec. ognized that weighing machines de- signed especially for this purpose are being used in the nursery by anxious mothers.
 These little scales arc equipped with tiny wicker basket and a pretty little white enameled indicator that reg. isters accurately.
 The baby should increase in weight gradually Not too fast, for a moder. ately fat baby is in better condition than very fat one. But as long as the indicator points little higher each day there is little cause to worry. It is only when it starts to go back that the family doctor should be con suited.

CURIOUS FLORIDA HERB.
Red Plant Which Feeds Upe~ Ants
 and Other Insects.

and Other Insects.
 Almost everybody knows there arc such things as insectivorous or carniv- orous plants, but 1t is doubtful if many know we have any such plants grow ing right here in southern Florida. Nevertheless there is plant, or, rath- CT. herb. growing here which is really insectivorous
 It is likely that on account of its be iug extremely small 1t has escaped attention. In fact, 1t seems to have been overlooked by the botanists also, as we are unable to find 1t chased among the sensitive plants.
 This is an annual herb, and the en- tire plant, including the flowers, is of . deep rich red color. It rarely reach cd height of more than three inches and Is never so broad. The leaves arc spatulate when undisturbed and pre- seat many small hbrillae and secrete at their tips a tenacious fluid which is capable of holding the very small in- sects, such as ants and the like. upon which 1t feeds. When any of these get lodged in the fluid and disturb these fbrillae the leaves slowly acquire deep cut shape and sometimes cur completely up over their victim. When they have absorbed the insect they slowly recover their original shape. leaving only the skeleton of the inTsct remaining.
