That Thought May Produce Blister on

II is not generally known that

as many other actual physical
changes In ones organism which are
little short of miraculous. ! have no

its possibility has been put to the

Food Products In Demand.

st. Paul, Minn.-While not entirely
agreeing with the recent statement
issued by Bradstreets which intimates
that the consumption Of GOD products
in this country has caught up with
production. James j. Hill said Friday
the point has been nearly reached.
1T is a matter which should be
seriously considered said Mr.. Hill.
"Our present balance of trade is an
indication that the margin between
our production and consumption is be-
coming narrower. Look at the figures
ten years ago and then look at them
now. Our enormous balance Of that
time has dwindled away. We are not
exporting foodstuffs as we were. We
are consuming them ourselves. "The
reason for the increase In price this
year over last year is a matter OF
supply and demand"

TAFT ASKS NO AID
TO MAKE FEDERAL BENCH APP.
PoINTMeNTs ALONE.
NOT TO CONSULT THE CABINET
Told His Appointed Advisers That
He Would Seek Counsel in
All Matters Except
This One.

Washington, ID. C.-There Is one
striking difference between the meth
DDS of President Taft and those of
his predecessor. and it is in regard to
appointment of members of the fed
eral bench.
~ shall consult with you gentle.
men," said President Taft at one of
the first meetings of his cabinet,
about all matters of Importance to
the administration save one; the ap.
pcintments to the federal bench. That
l shall attend to alone on my own re.
sponsibility."
The cabinet was more than willing
and the presidents policy was genel.
ally Endorsed His long service on the
bench was considered the badge OF
his superior qualification to perform
this duty entirely alone.
The president did not intend to bar
himself from the privilege of consulta.
ton with his cabinet members. If he
so desired. but he did make plain that
the responsibility and the authority
would not be divided in any wise.
And in the matter of the pending
supreme bench appointment, it is said.
he has adhered strictly to this rule.
He had not laid the matter before
the cabinet. and it is not known that
thus far he had discussed it with any
member of the cabinet. The fact that
he had asked no counsel or advice
has added strength to the impression,
now entertained as frankly inside as
outside the cabinet. that Judge Hor-
ace II. Lurton of Nashville is to be
named for the place.
Beyond this. the understanding Is
that the president has a waiting list
for supreme bench appointments, long
enough, at least. TO fill all the vacan-
cies that are likely to arise during his
administration. Indeed. people closest
to the president suspect that the presi.
dent knows exactly whom he would
appoint. and in what order, IL there
should be four or five vacancies. 1t
Is believed by many that Attorney
General Wickersham is the second
man on the list, mi Lloyd w. Bow
ers. solicitor of the United States, is
very generally placed third.
Quite the reverse of this was the
method of President Roosevelt, who,
hot being a lawyer, and being espe.
cially anxious about judicial appoint
ments, took much advice about them.
The TAFT program is similar to that
of President Harrison, who is regard
ed as having made. on the whole, the
best judicial selections of any presi.
dent in a generation. He didn't feel
that he needed advice, and he seldom
asked it, in this matter. The Har-
rison judicial selections were as gen.
orally commended as those of Roose.

CASH FOR DA|RYMEN
IMPROVEMENT IN METHOD OF
TESTING CREAM.
PRICE FOR NEBRASKA BUTTER
Copies Of House Journals Received In
Improved Form.-Other Matters
a. at state Capital.

The Nebraska butter market Is
within 3 cents of the Elgin market,
instead Of within 4 cents, the differen-
tial which has ruled for years. Dur
ing the next year this means $3.50, 900
for the Nebraska farmers. The efforts
of the Nebraska state pure food com.
mission to get absolutely correct tests
Of the butter fat percentages have
brought this about.
Elgin Is the butter market of the
world. The Nebraska buyers. in pur-
chasing butter, have paid 4 cents UNI
der the Elgin market for butter fat.
This margin includes freight and other
losses. In the latter one of the i'm
portant items Is dishonest, careless or
incompetent grading by the local test
ers. Efficiency In cream testing has
shaved the margin 20 per cent, and
this difference now goes to the butter
fat producer.
The difference of | cen a pound has
proved a formidable item. During
1908, 37,144,000 pounds of butter were
shipped. A difference of 1 cen a
pound IN this means $371,4i0. A
quarter of q million dollars in in
creased returns to dairymen is re-
garded as a conservative estimate of
the saving.
Food commissioner Mains has been
working for several months on the
cream testing proposition. The i'm
provement in testing methods has
been rapid, and since the beginning
of the term of Governor S~hallenber-
ger, the system has been entirely re-
volutionized. The testing is now a
science. False grading is punishable
by a heavy fine. Testers must prove
their ability. and they lose their per-
mits If they are caught making mis-
takes,

A half dozen copies of the house
journals compiled by the Hon. 7. Cone,
chief clerk of the late house of repre-

secretary of state and it is not near

The journal contains 1.l67 pages: the
pictures Of the state officers, officers
and members of the legislature and
as Il new feature a record in tabulated
form of every official act of every
member of the legislature during the
session and a tabulated record of
every bill introduced. The table refers
to the page On which every motion
vas made regarding each bill. There
is another table in the book which
gives the e%pitomized title Of every
bill together with its number. At least
800 of the journals will be bound in
heavy cardboard with leather covers.
The book is much smaller than those
of previous sessions and the paper
