MIR. MACON Of Arkansas is growing
IVA more and more popular as the
days go on. His point Of order
work is becoming more and more fervid
and ornate and his minority leader and
his democratic friends can do nothing
with him.
This is reminiscent Of q little incident
that occurred last session. just after Mr..
Macon started the career Of objection
that he has so consistently followed ever
since. He was pretty we'll at outs with
his friends as we'll as the enemy at the
time when a small appropriation came
along that would have been meat for the
distinguished gentleman from Arkansas.

THE PURE FOOD LAW.
Suggested That Sunlight Might Come
Under Its Jurisdiction.

1t is generally conceded that the
new food laws are somewhat stringent
in many particulars, but excellent as
whole. There are, however, many
articles now offered for sale in this
state not touched by the provisions of
this law, that could well be regulated.
Our minds are so much on what we
eat when discussing the food laws
that are conducive to our physical
comfort and well being. Take, for in
stance, sunlight. We rarely think of
light as giving health and strength to
both animal and vegetable life, yet
nothing, not even the food we eat,
contributes more to this end.
If any food were offered to you with
but ten per cent of the genuine, you'd
simply be astounded-yet that is all
the eye gets of natural light through
an article sold by thousands, and
that is the spectacle and eyeglass lens
now SO generally in use. That's all the
eye gets of natural light through the
lens you now wear, or will wear some
time.
The lenses made until very recently,
practically shut out all the best part
of light. The capital city of Kansas
has the credit for placing on the mar
ket a pure light lens. The Health
Ray Lens, manufactured here in To-
peka and sold all over the Central
West, will transmit to the eye all of
natural sunlight in natural proper

there has been some talk of an
amendment to the present law, pro-
hibiting the use of glass for eve use,
unless it will admit at least fifty per
cent of pure light, there has been no
definite step taken toward this end, and
probably will not be for some time to
come, as the Optical Trust, which alb
solutely controls the ordinary glass
heretofore used for this purpose.

APPOINT WHITE MEN.
President Taft VIII Adopt New Policy
of Southern Patronage.

Chicago, March 12.-''The passing
of the professional southern negro
politician as a federal office holder
by right of coolr has been made an
essential feature in the proposed poll
cies of President Taft" says the Tri-
une today, in a news article. "Here-
after southern white Republicans
will receive the utmost consideration
in filling the big places in the federal
service below the Mason and Dixon
line. The places which have been al
Iotted to the negro Republicans as a
matter of custom will go to northern
negroes rather than to the southern
black men.
"News of this complete change in
administration policy has arrived in
Chicago directly from the White
House. The information was disclos-
ed in connection with the candidacy
of Col. John r. Marshall, command
ing the Eighth infantry, Illinois Ma
tionaI Guard, the negro regiment, for
the post of receiver of deeds of the
district of Columbia.

tentative backing of Senator Cullom,

BONUS FOR MAYOR.
New York Independents to Adopt New
Political Course.

New York, March 12.-In order to
obtain for the office of mayor of New
York a man of sufficient merit and
honesty to carry out the changes pro-
posed in the new city charter. Pro-
moters of an Independent movement
for the election of a purified"
municipal ticket proposed to pay
him an annual salary of $125,00O
a year. or from theterm of four years
a bonus of 100000 over and above
the regular salary of the Office. 1t is
suggested that the difference be
raised by popular subscription. A
statement issued by those active in the
movement, who as yet designate them
selves merely as tax payers says in
part:
''Such a man for a job should be
found among the younger generations
on the captains of industry In
commercial life a man should count
his income in the hundreds of thou
sands. Therefore let 25 public spirited
citizens pledge themselves -anony-
mously as far as the public is con-
cerned-to contribute every year dur
ing the next four years an amount
sufficient to produce in the aggregate
the sum of $125,00O a year"
If any one accepts this unique Of
fer and if elected he must not be a
candidate for reelection nor par
ticipate in any pertisan politics during
his incumbency. Backers of the plan
assert that radical measures are neces-
sary because of &" almost six years of
the worst government that any city in
any civilized community has ever
endurcd.''

a special investigator in the Roose-

FIatuIenCy or Wind

That Decaying Food Is

This most serious condition is very
prevalent and results most distress
ingly and fatally oftentimes. The stom-
ach in cases of fatulency is unable to
digest the food properly. Decay sets
in, gases form, extend the stomach,
force their way downward into the
bowels. and if not relieved it extends
upward pressing against the lungs

breath, belching, foul odors and many
times sudden death.
Foods which are filled with gases,
when taken into a deranged stomach
cause f1atulency rapidly. vegetables be-
ing especially given to this quality
Against such condition the stomach
can do but little, because these foul
and poisonous gases affect its glands
muscles and tissues to such a degree
as to incapaciate it almost at once.
These gases distend the stomach in
all directions, preventing the contract
ing muscles from doing their regular
from the stomach it goes elsewhere in
the system with even more harassing
results, and then the decaying mass
still remains to generate more gases
The most effective methods for allay-
ing f1atulency is to remove the cause of
gas making. An emetic will do this but
the stomach will have the same trouble
the moment new food enters it.
