The adjuster, in describing the

Taft Arrived at North Yakima
Today and Will Reach Sc

This Evening.

(By Howard II. Hazard. Stan Corre-
spondent United Press, with Pres
ident Taft
North YAKIMA, Wash, Sept. 29.-
Bear meat is better than croco-
die" President Taft made this dec
laration after trying the former for
the first time az a game dinner given
at Hayden Lake, near Spokane, by
the business men of Spokane.
'I am glad to testify that ones In
ternal machinery is not as badly stir
red up after a meal of cub bear, as It
is following a repast on the croco-
dile we have in the Philippines"
Mr.. Taft ended his remarks with a
declaration that he believed the
American sense of humor" to be the
most valuable asset OF our people
He agreed with Kipling, who. said
that as long as we have that sense
OF humor, the race will live"
On the return journey from Hay
den Lake to Spokane, which was
made by electric train. Taft was ac-
companied by Governor Brady, OF
Idaho; Senator Jones, OF Washing
ton; Secretary Ballinger and a NUM-
ber OF prominent business men and
politicians OF both Idaho and Wash
ington
A roar Of laughter was raised when
practical joker in the party ap-
preached Secretary BallInger, and,
with a spread-eagle speech, present
ed him with bouquet OF flowers
from "Chief Forester Pinchot."
The secretary was somewhat fab
berPssted at first, but entered into
the spirit of the thing, and came
back with a speech of thanks.
President Taft arrived here al
$50 n. m, and left at 1:45 this at-
tcrnoon. While here he was the
guest OF Senator Jones. His pro-
gram included a motor ride about
town, a reception and a speech.

When the kidneys are sick they

Great local differences in the electri-

that with better knowledge it may be
possible to make mining for electricity
as profitable as digging for coal or
metals. In experiments in two com
paratively shallow borings, he has OBJ
tanned weak currents between a small
rod OF brass or iron immersed in the
water Of the pit and a similar rod
buried near the surface. He urges
that contractors, mining companies and
others take up the problem, and per
form such experiments as testing the
current between a 60-foot copper cylin-

taurant keepers. The edible snail is
disappearing from the vineyards and

shells and veal fat. The fat is cIer-
erly cut into spirals and worked into

should be passed giving the escargot
