GOVERNMENT AND
STATE IN CLASH
Federal Employe Will Not Tell Oh
Alleged Distillery.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 26.-LaWyers
and Judges of the state are intensely
interested in the serious CLASH now
on between the state and the FED
eral authorities in the case or Chas.
E. Steggall, a government gauger'
in Jail in Trenton, Ga, for contempt
of court by order of Judge A. w.
Fite, of the Dade County Superior
Court. Steggal, under Instructions
from the Internal Revenue Collector,
refused to testify before the grand
Jury in reference to an alleged dis
tillery.
Under the United States laws, Gov
eminent employees are liable to loss
of position, fine and imprisonment
if they divulge information secured
in their official capacity.
Stegall has appealed to the Fed
eral authorities in Atlanta for pro-
lection. AS the Government cannot
afford to allow it's employees to be
kept in prison for obedience to Gov
eminent rules, the Federal officials
determined to stand by Steggall.

TAFT COMMENDS
P|NCHOT'S WORK
ASKS CHIEF FORESTER NOE
TO RESIGN.
FAVORS ROOSEVELT IDEAS
Announces His Intention of Applying
to Congress for COnfIrmatory
Legislation.

Salt Lake City, Sept. 25.-As a re-
suit of several long conferences with
the Chief Forester, Clifford Pinchot,
President Taft caused to be issued
statement, in which it is declared
that never at any time during the
Ballinger-Pinc controversy has
the President intended to reflect up
on Pinchot, and in which Mr.. Taft
takes a more forward stand than
ever in favor of the Roosevelt poll
cies for the conservation of natural
resources.
The President indicates that what
is to be done in the way of reclaim
ing arid lands must be done within
the law, but he announces his in
tention of applying to Congress for
such cOnfrmatOry and enabling leg
islation as will put the Roosevelt po-
licies on the strongest possible basis.
pinchot Gives Out Taft's Letter.
Mr.. Pinchot, before leaving for
Washington, also issued statement,
in which he makes public a portion
of President Taft's letter, written to
the Chief Forester at the time the
letter to Secretary Ballinger was die
tated. The President said he hoped
Mr.. PinchOt would not find reason
in the Bal1inger letter for resigning.
81 shall not resign" declares Mr..
Pinchot, and he adds that he is go
ing to continue to serve the Govern
ment along the same lines he has
pursued in the past, concluding with
the statement:
81 believe in equality of opportu-
nifty and the Roosevelt policies and
I propose to stand for them as long
as I have the strength to stand for
anything"
Mr.. Ballinger had no comment to
make on the latest phase of the dis
cussion. Friends of both Mr. Bal
linger and Mr.. Pinchot declare that
the position of the President is such
that both officials can consistently
remain in the Government service
and work toward the same ends. Mr..
Pinchot has declared himself in
favor of a strong conservation poll
cy. Mr.. Ballinger has declared him.
self in favor Of keeping within the
law. President Taft finally declares
himself as being in favor of a strong,
progressive policy, kept within the
law, with such amendment to the
law as may be necessary to carry out
Mr.. Roosevelt's ideas.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 27.-It was

justifies his action in refusing to
allow Dr. Cooks instruments or
records on board the Roosevelt, on
theory he had been aware for some
time of Cooks intention to claim
the discovery of the North Pole, and
that Peary therefore would sanction

that Cook cannot produce shoes,

7 TNTERRUPTING the traditional
siesta of Woman's clubs comes
= news of the approaching visit Of
woman of international reputation,
and one of the leading American work
ers in the field of betterment for Ia
boring women and children, Mrs Flor
ence Kelley of New York.
Mrs. Kelley, vice president of the
National Suffrage association, general
secretary of the Consumers league,
and trustee of the national child labor
fund, is in San Diego, and will arrive
in Los Angeles Saturday morning for
a stay of several days, speaking that
same day before the City club on THE
Ultimate Consumers Duty"
At the invitation of the Friday Morn
ing club Mrs. Kelley will address club
women and all others interested in in
dustrial and economic conditions relat-
ing to women at meeting to be held
in the Woman's clubhouse on South
Figueroa street Monday afternoon at
8 o'clock. A cordial invitation is eX-
tended, and it is the hope of the Friday
Morning club officers that there will
be large attendance, for the speaker,
who is a graduate of Cornell and of
the University of Geneva, Switzer-
land, is perhaps the foremost American
specialist in matters concerning child
labor and the conditions which the la
boring woman is obliged to face. She
is the daughter of a well l-known foun-
dry man of Pennsylvania, often re-
ferred to by the press as "Pig-iron
Kelley" and it is only recently that
she became a convert to equal suffrage,
a conversion following observation of
conditions while she was state factory
inspector for Illinois. where she was
the first to hold the office. Since then
she has held several similar positions
under the federal government.
During her stay in Los Angeles Mrs.
Kelley will be entertained by Mrs.
Charles Farwell Edison.

club will hold an all-day basket picnic

Simple Treatment for Bruises

size of a pigeons egg over one eye.
This was thoroughly rubbed with but
ter. the whole side of the face being
treated in the same way. BY evening
the swelling had almost entirely dis
appeared. This may seem odd, but it is
true. The butter has nothing added to
it, but is used as a salve.
Hot water congresses are no longer
applied to bumps, if water is to be used.
That which is ice cold is now recon-.
mended by physicians, the theory be-
ing to prevent the blood from settling
in the bruise, a condition that heat en-
courages. Water to be used in this
way should be iced, it being we'll to

II KNOWLEDGE of how to treat Sc
IL we're bruises everyone should
IA possess, and quaint and old
fashioned as some of the remedies are
thew are valuable For instance, the
application of raw beef after a severe
blow is treatment that a novice can
give. I do not pretend to know why 1t
is effective but the fact remains that
it will scatter the blackness resulting
from coagulaton quicker than almost
any other remedy, and If one does NOT
like the idea of such a plaster there
is to be said in reply that it is more
desirable than purple spots.
AS to the success of a beef plaster, a
girl of 16 years who thought she would
play baseball with the boys few
weeks ago can testify; for she received
a stunning blow in the nose from the
ball as it left the bat, and what hap
pened in the next fifteen minutes she
knows but vaguely. She is, however,
aware that by night her face was the
color of indigo, and then it was an old
housewife who suggested applying raw
beef. A thin slice was cut by the
butcher, places punched in it for the
nose and mouth, and the mask tied on
for the night. The next morning the
skin was white in places, and in four
days of this she had returned to nor
NAL hue. Under ordinary conditions it
would have been week at least be-
fore the blackness would have been dis
sipated.
Butter for bruises is strongly advo-
Gated. An elderly woman, overcome by
heat few days ago. fell, striking her
forehead on the pavement. When she

Afternoon Tea for Working Girls

eggs tagen one after the other is a
large amount of nourishment in con-
densed form. A cup of matted milk,
made at home and carried downtown,
is not unpalatable when cold; milk of
course is good. A cup of soup put into
little jar after luncheon may be
drunk later, and will take but few
moments. A banana is not to be de-
spised, because it contains nourish-

This matter Of taking a little food

it's beneficial effects. When the stom-

about the brain and circulation be-
comes retarded. So that, if small
amount of nourishment will draw blood
from the brain to the stomach, where
it enters into the process of digestion,
the work will be easier.
A mistake not uncommon among
Americans who go in for afternoon tea
is to eat a quantity of sweets that in
terrupt digestion and interfere with
dinner later. The fact that English
tea is meal in itself cannot be called
upon as an argument in its favor in
this country, because the usual hour of
dining in England is anywhere from an
hour or an hour and half later than
the one observed here. This obviously
leaves more time for the afternoon

And herein lies a secret also let me
whisper it softly-it, is good for us; 1t
keeps us young, keeps our hair and
teeth from falling out, and makes us
better looking. 1t gives us an interest
in life aside from money grubbing,
makes us more critical of the set of a
coat and the color of a tie.
This in turn gives us a certain added
charm in the eyes of Elizabeth and
Maryland they are a trif1e critical,

teen.
l have always thought that into this
relationship of a man with his daugh-
ter there must enter an element of
courtship-a bit of the fine, etherialized
sentiment of lovers. We must take
care to foster Elizabeths girlish admi-
ration for what there is of the gallant
about us. I love that beautiful old
word "gallantry"-it savors so of the
days of chivalry, when men were given
an opportunity to prove themselves
brave and tender and true.

found him right out in front of the
widest crowd of rooters. and he stayed
there, standing up the greater part OF
the time, with his eyes glued to every

changed perceptibly when Bob struck
out or Ed hit out for two bases, but he
was right there all the time, and the

them along to the end of the game.
Afterward they heard the other fellows

again lifted them along still more.

A FTERNOON TEA is an institution
II that it would be we'll for every
A girl to hold. For the beverage is
good one, and the fact of stopping
work for fifteen minutes toward the
late afternoon, when everyone is tired
from a days work, rests the nerves to
the degree, that the last two hours, in
stead of dragging along, go as quickly
as those of morning. If employers un-
derstood this more thoroughly In the
United States time would be given for
such refreshment. In England, for ln-
stance, 1t is as much a part of the day
as lunch, and from 4 until 5 the little
tea shops of London and provincial
towns are filled with clerks, men and
women, drinking their tea and eating
muffins or biscuits.

be secured in this country for girls
who work in offices, it remains to make
some kind of a substitute I under

out of an office or shop, but is it not
possible to take in something after
luncheon, and go to the dressing room
to swallow it later in the day. For tea
I am a strong advocate of raw egg,
than which nothing is easier to swallow
or to carry downtown. The egg should
be carefully broken whole into glass
