CRUSADE rs STARTED 3
on WEIGHT OF BREAD

CHICAGO, April 17.-City Sealer KEEL
lander has begun canvass to ascertain
the weight of loaves of bread sold by
dealers throughout the city. Owing to lit
igation over the city ordinance requiring
bakers to give full weight loaves to GUS
toners, Mr.. HIGHLANDER is powerless to be-
gin prosecutions, but he announced that
the data he obtains will be used in a
further effort to prevent bakers from SELL
ing short weight bread.
Several months ago Judge Windes held
that the bread ordinance was unconstitu-
tional and an appeal was taken by the
city to the supreme court. A decision is
expected from that tribunal within the
next week and if Judge Windes' opinion
is sustained Mr.. HIGHLANDER proposes to
urge the passage of a new ordinance.

in the world in the manufacture of cheap
goods, and when that time comes the
tariff duties levied will amount to moth
ing, because foreign countries cannot
pay the duties and compete with our
country"
Mr.. Clay was asked how the new tar
iff bill would affect the fertilizers used
by the farmers. He replied by saying
most of the ingredients used in making
fertilizers were placed on the free list
i'm the Payne bill. The senate finance
committee has not been so liberal to
the farmers and has taken some of these
articles off the free list. We hope to
have them restored in the senate.

GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES AND
REVENUES.

Perhaps the most important question
presented to this administration is that
OF economy in expenditures and suf-
1ciency of revenue. The deficit of the
last fiscal year, and the certain deficit
or the current year, prompted Con-
gress to throw a grslter responsibility
Oh the Executive ami the Secretary .of
the Treasury than had heretofore BEEN
declared by statute, This declaration
imposes upon the Secretary of the
Treasury the duty of assembling all the
estimates of the executive departments
bureaus, and offices, of the expenditures
necessary in the ensuing fiscal year,
and of making an estimate of the rev
enues of the government for the same
period; and if a probable deficit Is thus
shown it is made the duty of the Presi-
dent to recommend the method by
which such deficit can be mel
The report of the Secretary shows
that the Ordinary expenditures for the
current fiscal year ending June 80, 1910,
Will exceed the estimated receipts by
s34,015,620. If to this deficit is added the
sum to be disbursed for the Panama
Canal. amounting to sSs. 600. 900, and
$1,o00,000 to be paid on the public debt,
the deficit of ordinary receipts and ex-
pehditures will be Increased to..a total
deficit of $1S.0I5. 620. This deficit the
Secretary proposes to meet .by the pro-
ceeds of bonds issued to pay the cost of
constructing the Panama Canal. I APP
prove this proposal.
The policy of paying for the construc-
ton of the Panama Canal, not out Of
current revenue, but by pond issues.

CIVILIZED MAN ALONE SHORES.
Unpleasant Habit Absolutely Unknown
Among Savages.

1t is truism that n one ever heard
OF a snoring savage In fact, II the wild
man Of the woods and plains does not
sleep quietly. he runs the risk OF being
discovered by his enemy, and the scalp
Of the snorer would soon adorn the
belt OF his crafty and more quietly
sleeping adversary. With civilization,
however. we have changed all this, de-
clares writer in Health. The i'm
pure air Of our sleeping rooms induces
all manner Of catarrhal affections. The
nasal passages are the first to become
affected. Instead OF warming the in
spired air on the way to the lungs, and
removing from it the dangerous impur-
tiles with which it is loaded, the
nose becomes obstructed. A part of
the air enters and escapes by the
mouth. The veil Of the palate vi
brates between the two currents-that
through the mouth and the one still
passing through the partially closed
nostrils-like torn sail in the wind.
The snore. then, means that the sleep
er's mouth is partially open. that his
nose is partially closed, and that his
lungs are in danger from the air not
being properly warmed and purified.
From the continued operation OF these
causes-the increase Of impure air in
sleeping rooms and permitting habit
ual snorers to escape killing and
scalping-some scientist has predict
ed that in the future all men (and all

No boy or girl can ever come TO be
utterly bad who remembers only love
and tenderness and unselfshness and
sweetness as associated with father
and mother in the old-time home. Give
them manly and womanly examples,
give them training. give them the in
spiration Of devoted lives, give them

FEW WORDS, BUT TO THE POINT.


Last summer the congregation OF a
little kirk in the Highlands OF Scotland
was greatly disturbed and mystifed by
the appearance in its midst of an Eng
lish lady who made use of an ear trum.
pet during the sermon--such an in
strument being entirely unknown in
those simple parts.
There was much discussion OF the
matter, and it was finally decided that
one of the elders-who had great To-
cal. reputation as a man of parts
should be deputed to settle The ques-
tion.
On the next Sabbath the uncon-
scious offender again made her ap-
pearance and again produced the trum-
pet, whereupon the chosen elder rose
from his seat and marched down the
aisle to where the old lady sat, and,
ertreating her with an upraised finger.
said. sternly:
The first toot-ye're ootn'-Har-
pet's.
