AUTOS AND DEVIL.

A sensational minister has rushed
into the ltmelight with the statement
that "among agencies of the devil the
automobile has rushed to the forefront.
1t does more than all the infidel
agencies, does more than the schemes
of all the breweries, to interfere with
the sacredness Of the Sabbath. And
on every day of the week this engine
of the devil is making. spendthrifts of
us all"
Grant that the automobile can do all
that and even then the problem isn't
solved-whether the automobile is the
most popular form of enjoyment in the
world because 1t is the foremost agency
OF the devil, or is the foremost agency
Of the devil because 1t is the most
popular form of amusement in the
world.
The clerical hypochrondiac is up
against hard proposition. No matter
how clear case ne makes against
the autos--as the DEVILS duly accredit-
cd agent and superceder of infideIs
there will always be a certain class of
Knockers and cynics who win not agree
with him. Many of these will be of
good repute among men. They will
hold persistently notwithstanding
the reckless idiocy Of some drivers in
bringing the machines into disfavor-
the pastime Of automobiling is an
agency for helpfuIness, irnparting
healthy vigor. wholesome pleasure and

WATER AND MEALS.

Many people resolutely deny them
selves water with their meals, being
mindful Of the medical instruction
that water should be drunk in good
quantities at other times-but that 1t
is positively injurious when taken with
food This advice has been regarded
as good, by many people. for a long
time.
Now II appears to have been made
extremely doubtful by experiments in
New York. A man was given a fixed
diet for six days-then for five days
the same diet was taken with the ad-
dftion Of one liter of water with each
mea-the food being well chewed be-
fore It was swallowed Finally the
original diet, without water. was
given for eight days.
The mans condition was notIceably
improved at the close of the water
period. and he weighted two pounds
more. Digestion improved during the
water period. and the gain was not
lost in the last eight days
The result Of this experiment is de-
cidedly favorable to the use of water
with meals-and another medical sup
erstition may be about to disappear.
But this man chewed his food well
when he took water with it, and the
water was not iced. 1t is not likely
experiment will ever give counten-
ance to the practice of boiling food

Missouri Pacific VIII Run Train Here

Pittsburg, Kan, March 6.-Through
the efforts of President Liepman and
members of the Commercial club an
other passenger train has been assured
for Pittsburg over the Missouri Pacific.
The matter has been under consid-
Grafton for some time past and all in
dications are now favorable for the
early installation of a train to be run
from Carthage to Topeka every day.
One train each way will be run over
the line from Carthage to Fort Scott
and on to Topeka
Just when the train will be put on
has not been definitely announced but
it will be some time during the present
month. The new train will be quite
an accomm odation to the residents
both north and southeast of the city.
This will mean the extension of the
present Topeka-Fort Scott service to
