figures published BY the United States
Geological Survey In an advance chap
ter from mineral Resources OF the
United States, Calendar Year 1907,
reached total OF s65, l66 short tons. or
1873 per cent. Of the lead production Of
the world The production Of Spain, 10
nearest rival, was but 1877 per cent, OF
the toal, that Of Germany was la,6 per
cent, and that Of Australia, the fourth
country in point OF production, was
about or per cent.
The following tabular statement gives
the general items regarding domestic
and world production and consumption,
The figures for domestic ptepA are
those complied by Q. e sicbcnthal OF

WHAT SHALL WE EAT?

People all over the country are anx-
iously asking: What shall eat in order
to be well, strong and active, in order to
live long and attain the fullest measure
of the Joy of living?'
To answer the question to the better
ment and satisfaction of the questloner
is at times rather difficult matter But
to get him or her to act upon the advice
given is often still more difficult matter.
The reason for this is, 1 believe, not
any lack of intelligence or of docility on
the part of the inquirer. The mere TACT
of his applying for advice is proof of his
sincere desire to learn the law and to
apply it.
The failure to follow directions is, /
think, mainly because some of us who
profess expert knowledge along these
lines are all too prone to give advice
without making the individual so advised
realize that for every one of these re-
strictions there is, or at least there should
be, a perfectly clear and easily under
stood reason.
For instance 1 may say to a patient:
Avoid taking much sugar with your ce-
real and cream; and always take a bit of
bread with a spoonful of the cereal.
Now, if / give no reason for such adj
vice, he is very likely to think my rule
unreasonable and arbitrary.

the presence of cane sugar in a starchy
mixture prevents the complete conversion
of that starch into matter capable Of
feeding the body when l remind him that,

Very Poor Work, The Making of The
Human Body, Says This Professor

RICHMOND, va.-william H. Taylor,
NJ. D., professor of chemistry and medi-
cal Jurisprudence at the Medical College
of Virginia, philosopher, scientist, lectur-
er, author and coroner of the city Of
Richmond for fifty years, startled the
community by delivering before his class
a lecture on 1.-The Dead Body" in which
he denied many popular beliefs regarding
the human body.
DIR. Taylor said that man might as well
look upon his descent from the dog or the
ass as the ape, adding, facetiously, that
his audience might take their choice, with
much satisfaction, when they came TO
realize what a horde of scoundrels their
immediate ancestors of northern and CEN
trail Europe really were. The ape, says
this septuagenarian. behaves as well as
his code demands, but the precursors of
the Anglo-Saxon race, despite the fact
that they knew better, were set of as
arrant knaves as the world has ever
known.
DR.. Taylor declared that the human
body is not the exalted mechanism it is
Wanted to be, especially by pious people.
Critical examination of man, he said,
shows carelessness and bad workmanship
from head to foot. Many machines and
mechanisms constructed by man are bet
ter made and better attain the objects
sought in their construction. He took as
an example the human eye, an organ up
on which much admiration has been Law
ished, and quoted the statement of a
learned investigator to the effect that any
maker Of optical instruments who sent
out such piece of work would certainly
have 1t thrown back on his hands,

number of supervisors is certain, but the
number of enumerators is Appropriated.
The census bureau believes the figures
given to be correct.
The supervisors will be appointed by
the president. on recommendation of the
directors of the census. The appoint
ments will be made as soon as the CEN
sus bill is passed, which will be in a few
days. The enumerators will be named
by the director of the census on the re-
commentator of the supervisors.
The compensation of supervisors will be
81 500 for the two or three months work
required of him, and, in addition, they
will receive one dollar per thousand Of
population enumerated. In some cases the
compensation will run up pretty high
in the borough of Manhattan, New York,
for instance, there will be but one super

there will be but single supervisor. due
to the fact that the Bay State takes a

NATIONAL CAPITAL NEWS AND GOSSIP
BY Ralph Smith

session of congress He states frankly
that enough Republicans will join the
Democrats to pass the bill through the
senate, and he apprehends little trouble
for such a measure in the house.
Senator Aldrich, the Republican boss,
entertains a decidedly different view
about the income tax, 1t is known, but
he is not so frank or free with his ex-
preston as is the Texan. Evidently, he
realizes the formidable proportions the
agitation has assumed, but has not and
will not concede the possibility of its
passing the senate.
1t is stated that Aldrich counts upon
six Democratic votes, If they are needed
to defeat the income tax bill, regardless
of it's shape. This rumor has been whis-
pered around for several days, and there
tity of the Democrats Aldrich relies upon
in the emergency, If the rumor is well
founded.
Neither of the Georgia senators will
vote against the income tax. Both Sem
ators Bacon and Clay are heartily in ia
vor of such a measure, and they will
welcome the opportunity of voting for 1t.
1t is possible that the rumor that Aid
rich counts on six Democrats, If the
emergency arises, comes from the uncom-
plimentary assumption among certain
I people that the Republican party can
safely count on assistance from certain
class of Democrats at any time. 1t has
been stated time and again that the. Re-
publican machine counts as one OF its as
sets its ability to get Democratic assist
ance in a pinch. Indeed, II he beer
asserted that had the house machine been
short a few votes in the speakership
election, owing to the insurgent move
lment, enough Democrats could have been
prevailed upon to support Cannon to have
insured his reelection.
And it is established that when the
house machine was threatened with de-
feat on the rules proposition enough Dem
ocrats did join with the Republicans to

Mr.. Fielder Quoted

The Washington Post. the other morn
ing, carried the following interesting in
terview with Mr.. Fielder:
although the Georgia law does not
provide for the unconditional abolition Of
the system, not another convict will ever
be leased in that state, in my Judg-
ment," declared Thomas s. Fielder, of
Macon, Ga. at the Raleigh last night.
Mr.. Fielder has led the fight in the Geor-
gia legislature for many years against
the lease system, and in the state senate
last summer he was the leading anti
lease advocate.
1.-The lease system, which has been in
vogue in Georgia for many, many years,
terminated on April l, when all of the
convicts were put on the public roads,
continued Mr. Fielder, land l am quite
certain that Governor Hoke Smith will
never countenance anything looking like a
lease so long as his term of office con-
tinues. l do not believe his successor
will permit the leasing of convicts. More
over, l do not believe the exigencies will
ever be such that the state will have an
excuse to return to the Ubiquitous system.
There are more than 1900 felony con-
victs in Georgia, and under the old sys-
tenn most of these were leased to private
interests They were worked in lumber
camps, coal mines, and brick plants. The
leases expired on April l, and these I'M
fortunates were taken from the mines,
the sawmills, and the brick yards and
placed upon the public roads, being ap-
portioned among the counties in proper
ton to population.
II am confident the system now in OPP
GRAFTON will prove a success. The roads
of Georgia furnish abundant work for the
convicts and in time these highways will
compare with the best in the country.
Most of the counties were eager to get
the men, and already many of them are
at work upon a comprehensive system of
road improvement and road building.
There can be little question that the
road system is an improvement over the
old plan of leasing the men. 1t is better
for the state and better for the men. The
people, too, approve the plan. They were
opposed to the lease system, but it was
no easy matter to break it up"

Tom Fielder Here

Thomas S. Fielder, of Macon, was in
Washington last week, attending the SUI
preme court and sightseeing. He spent
some time at the capitol watching the
tariff fight In the senate and sizing up
the statesmen from various parts of the
country.
Mr.. Fielder who has a large part in
reforming the convict system of Georgia,
is confident that the new system will
prove satisfactory, and he expresses the
belief that never again will convict be
leased by the state. He is sure Governor
Smith will not countenance anything re-
sembling a lease, and he does not be-
lieve that the exegencies will ever demand
the leasing of any felons. He holds to the
view that the state will be amply able to
care for any overs not taken by the
counties.

Would Touch Pocketbooks.

The enactment of an income tax law,
such as has been proposed, would touch
the pocketbooks of every senator and
representative and many government off,
cials, including the president and the
members of his cabinet. In this respect
slight reduction of the salaries of all
government officials.
The Bailey amendment and the amend
ment offered by Cummins provides that
incomes in excess of $1,000 shall be sub
ject to taxation. the scale being gradut-
ed in proportion to the income To the
extent OF $780, at least. every senator
and representative would have his income
taxed, for all of them receive salaries OF
$500 per annum.
There are many members of the senate
and a number of representatives who
would be taxed into the thousands by
such a law. Some of them would pay
thousands and thousands of dollars into
the federal treasury annually.
Senator Guggenheim, of Colorado.
whose income amounts to 100000 annu-
ally, would, under the Cummins law, pay
100000 annually-and Guggenheim,
strange as it may seem, favors an in
come tax.
other senators who would be hit for
large taxes are:
Stephenson, Wisconsin, 100000.
Elkins, West Virginia, $4,000.
Aldrich, Rhode Island, $45, OO0
Kean, New Jersey, $36,OO0
du Pont, Delaware, $4,000
Bourne, Newlands, Depew, Wetmore
each, $4,000.
There are seventeen other senators in
the millionaire class, who would be
touched in like proportion, but the exact
figures cannot be estimated because no
one knows what their annual income
amounts to.
Speaker Cannon, Representatives Nc
Kinley, of Illinois; Huff, of Pennsylvania:
Olmsted, of Pennsylvania; Lowden, of II.
linois; Hayes, of California: Madden, OF
Illinois; Weeks, of Massachusetts,; Har-
rison, of New York, and dozen or two
others are among the number who would
be taxed heavily on their incomes.
