T. OR the benefit of people who have
i developed great fondness for the
so.called Turkish and Egyptian ciga-
rettes, the state department at Wash
ington has made an investigation of
the tobacco industries of the east.
Practically all of the Turkish tobacco
comes from Samsoun, in the district
of TrebiZond.
Large quantities of the Trebizond
tobacco are sold by the Turkish grow
ers to Egypt, where 1t is used to
brighten the tobacco obtained from
other parts of Turkey, The Trebizond

consular agents, is weak, has very lit

Tawney Gets Taft to Stop at Winona

President Roosey> was touring
the west when he came to Minnesota
In his itinerary, too, Winona was
omitted. Mr.. Tawney boarded the
train up the line and asked for a
quarter-hour stop and speech in mis-
town. Secretary Loeb said Il would
be impossible. as they We're golng
somewhere else and had to hurry or
they would be late, Then Mr. qawney
looked up the district passenger agent
OF the road who was on the train.
For some reason, not yet entirely e6
planned, the engine got out Of order
when Winona was reached and 1t
took the engineer 20 minutes to ind
the fault and fix IT.
In the meantime Mr. TGwney had
introduced Mr. Roosevelt to a large
crowd Of his Rdmlrlug tcwnsmeu. and
the president had made speech. Mr..
Taft said he was convinced he would
have to stop at Wiuona anyhow, and
he might as well promise to co SO

The president has happily solved
the problem of disposing of the long
evenings by taking long autmobile
rides about the city and suburbs. He
usually starts out on these trips about
$3.50 o'clock, returning to the White
House at IL or afterward. Capt. Arch
ibald Butt, the presidents aide. is al
ways his companion on these jour
neys and usually the president tele-
phones an invitation to some cabinet
officer. senator or representative. and
stops at the guests house OF club to
pick him up. The evening rides often
extend out into the beautiful Rock
Creek park. which stretches for miles
along the little waterway whose name
IL bears. At other times Mr.. Taft has
his chauffeur drive about the city or
on the Potomac park driveways,
which skirt the river back of the White
House and the monument grounds.
Arising at about seven o'clock the
president gives nearly an hour to
dumb-bells, pulley weights and other
forms of exercise prescribed for him.
He breakfasts slowly and usually
alone. During his morning meal and
for half an hour or so afterward, the
president reads the newspapers. Be-
tween $3.50 and 10 he begins his busy
day in the executive offices. At 1870
comes luncheon at the White House
always with some invited guest for
company. The afternoon is devoted
to golf, for the president hopes to
play every afternoon that he remains
in washington. Dinner always finds
guests assembled and usually 1t Is
an informal and delightful meal,
which begins a little after seven
o'clock and sometimes continues for
an hour and half.

At Snakes Mercy.

Rehoboth, Del.-From one danger
into another was Miss Lydia Smiths
predicament when, in trying to escape
snake, she caught her hair in wire
fence and badly lacerated her scalp
before she could be extricated.
Miss Smith, who lives in Clayton.
Del, is summering here, and went to
a small henhouse in the back yard to
catch a chicken for dinner. AS she
entered the wire-inclosed yard she
found large blacksnake lying at her
feet. The frightened woman jumped
back. catching her hair in the wire
netting overhead, while the frightened
snake glided out the other way.
Miss Smiths head was badly torn,
some of the hair being pulled out by
the roots.

Montclair, N. J.-There was a time
when the farmers and dairymen in
this section thought that grass, hay

hot mash were proper and profitable
food for milch cows, but they are to

Great Notch. When he wants his
cows to give milk he places phono-

the music going.
From that time on 1t as much as he
and his men can do to set the buckets
under the cows fast enough to catch
the milk.
Smith has discovered that the kind
and quality of music also has an i'm
portant bearing on the milk supply.
The first day he used the phonograph
he placed The Heart Bowed Down"
in the machine. 1t saddened the cows,
and they gave scarcely any milk.

Mr.. Tafts western trip, and 1t did not
mention Winona. Mr.. Tawney Is the
man who engineered the $4,000 ap-
preparation for the presidents travel
ing expenses, and he called to find out
about that Winona omission. The
president agreed to put Winona on
his travelling map. not, as he ex-
planned, on account of the appropria-

story President Roosevelt had told.

WASHINGTON. - President Taft.
w the summer bachelor of the
White House, is sharing the fate OF
many other government officials and
Washington residents whose families
have gone away to mountains or sea
shore. The president is taking the
situation philosophically, doesn't seem
to mind the hot weather and is read
ing daily with great delight letters
from Beverly which tell of the rapid
improvement in Mrs. Taft's health.
Living bachelor fashion at the
White House is not fraught with the
same discomforts that beset the mere
man who has his home "closed up on
him." when his wife goes away and is
compelled to seek food and lodging as
best he may. The president and Mrs.
Taft divided the White House help"
when the occupancy OF the Beverly
cottage was begun, so the president
is we'll taken care Of and domestic
affairs at the White House run on
much the same.
The president, however. allowed
Mrs. Taft to take the first cook" to
Beverly, while he is served by the
second cook" who is legacy from
the Roosevelt administration. She is
negro girl named Mary, who halls
from Old Virginia and whose sway
over the White House kitchens now is
complete.

DRUGS AND PLANTS

this country. There are the Dresora,
or Sundews, which after clutching any
insects which land upon them, digest
the animal matter, forming thereby a
valuable drug. The Sarracenia, or
pitcher plants, form a bottle shaped
prison in which bugs may easily enter,
never to be released. The Venus fly
tray Is also a meat eating form of
plant life which can be seen in the
bog.
Hydrangeas, roses, carnations, rare
varieties of violets, Jack in-the.Pul-
pits, swamp pinks, blue flags, and or
chids can be seen in various states of
cultivation and evolution, giving the
place an element of great beauty.
Digitalis, which, when compounded
with strychnine and morphine, forms
the basis of medicines used in the
treatment of alcoholism, can be seen
in all stages Of cultivation, and the
result of experiments with this plant
has given sufficient data to warrant
DR.. Kraemer making public the state

Therein lies the story Of how Messrs.

and MIR. Weeks were fellow members.
They sat side by side In many i'm.

during the packing house inquiry and
the discussion of the pure food bill.
Naturally they all became fast friends.
and accordingly when Mr.. Brooks re-

their approval and financial support.

that Mr.. Lorimer has been afforded

in the specific duty named in

The specific duty is s;;33.75 plus
