The tour this year seems assured of

distance is a thousand miles more than
that of any previous contest for the
Glidden trophy and the rules much

.ll HAIL rHs FOOD TABLETS,
No olshes. No Kitchen Work. Heone
 No Household Drudgery.

How would you like to throw away gll your kitchen utensils and most of Inc dishes: send your -four, meats. spices and other pantry stun to q charitable association; turn tho Eifcn- sn into a den or sunroom; turn the pantry unto a cozy corner, and live on nuts, fruits and food in tablet forrny ? It's long question and it isn't abso- lutely new. but it comes in for consid- eration in connection with the recent discussion Of How to Get Rid of Household Drudgery," says the Kan sas City Times.
 The suggestion was made in good faith by a woman who believes in the system. She advocates 1t without re gard 10 the fact that such plan of near eating" would rob life of it's dearest privilege. that of gazing on and deyouring the luscious roasts and broils that competent cooks prepare. ;o say nothing of potatoes mashed. gravy and pumpkin pic.
 This is no jest" tic writer of the essay says. It has been my dream for years There Is only one solution to the problems of housekeeping. only one way to escape the ills that come from unwise eating. Do away with the kitchen and pantry. live on fresh fruits. nuts and condensed foods in tablet form. Have 6 refrigerator or, better still, cold storage room where drinking water may be cooled and the
 fruits chilled. An ornamental jar or
 cabinet will hold enough tablets to
 feed a family for a week or mere.
 Think of the time saved that might
 be devoted to reading or outdoor exer-
 cise' And with the money saved we
 could buy motor cars or electric car
 riages."
 Think of the saving of time and
 energy, too, No more MncheOns 10

Can you see the faces of the children light up with~joy when you point one finger at the tablet jar and go on with your Browning or Emerson? No dishes to wash, no scraps 10 throw away-nothing to do except read, sing, play and eat fruits. tablets and nuts.

COMPLIMENT FOR THE pasros
Remark Not So Intended Realty
 Amounted ta as Much.

Aaron Bancroft, the father of the historian. was a Massachusetts clergy man who revolted against the Calvin ism Of the day. The young minister found himself held at arms length by the surrounding clergy. Tn ~Tbe Life and Letters Of George Bancroft Mir. M. A. Dew. Howe quotes the fol lowing item from the old ministers ~Memoranda:
 An honest but very inteiligen, farmer of my parish, some ten years ago. accosted me in this manner:
 We'll. Mr. Bancroft, what do you think the people of the old parish say of me now2'
 q answered. T hope something good
 They say. If we find fault with him he docs not mind 1t at all; and if we praise him he does not mind it but keeps steadily on his own way we therefore have concluded that 1t is best to let him alone.'"

The Earliest ae,iuion

Religion was at first purely dog. matte, an affair of the family. pure and simple. The gods were the dead an- ces;ors, and the worship consisted of the perpetual care of the hearth fire and the graves os :he departed rela- dyes. IL was the ancient belief tthe most ancient, so far as we kaow) that tho departed ancestors continued to live in or about the tomb, and that their peace and happiness depended absolutely upon the care with which thsir posterity looked after their wor- ship Y the hearth fire was allowed to die down, or the tomb was neglected or the food and drink were not faith fully taken to the tomb. their exist eDce became wnetehed one; where as. if these things were carefully at tended 10. all YVES serene with them.

Mirror for tie Sick Room

"Oniy a hand mirror should find place in a siekrooID," said doctor and it should be one fiattering to the patient-the kind. for instance. which if the face is too broad, will lengthen it little. And the patient should only be allowed to look in the mirror at propitiOus times.

Give Your pon Mo-. wat.r.

Fully one-half of canine misery comes from lack of drinking water. The agony of thirst frays dog temper to the vicious point, and impatient animals are much like cross humanity. ready to resent an act or look.
 Thoughtful families leave basins of fresh water where stray animals can find it. but they are not many, and they will never do as much good as running water in places where it can be reached at will Dog lovers are many. but they do not always give due attention to the animals which more than repay their kindness and aIcc- ton.

PRESIDENT HITS THE sPoiLs SYSTEM.

The recent message of President Roosevelt vetoing the census bill
 which provided that census takers
 should he appointed on a non-com- petItive G. C., politicaD basis is i'm. portant not only because of its prob able effect on the accuracy of the census, but because it gave the presi- dent an opportunity of putting himseh on record as to the spoiis system in words which we hope will be needed by every republican and maehinist in the United States
 President Roosevelt began his career by rendering distinguished ser vice as a civil service commissioner and reformer. and 1t is not inappro- priate that the closing month of bs term of office should be marked by his expression to the effect he still holds fast the principles which he championed when he entered the pub lie service-principles which the wiseacres of the amen corner in the New York Fifth Avenue hotel proph- esied would be his ruination political ly.
 T don't believe in the doctrine that to the victor belongs the spoils," says the president. but think even less Of the doctrine that the spells shall be divided without a light by the profes- sional politicians 9n both sides; and this would be the result of permitting the bill in it's present shape to be- core law"

The Pace local option bill had g short inning in the lower house Of the legislature yesterday. This bill pro vides that the majority shall rule whenever a local option election is called for any county or precinct in Arizona. That the majority shall rule is strictly an American and democrat. ic principle and we are surprised that the Pace bill should be opposed by anyone. The Pace bill leaves the peo- pie Of the territory to vote "wet" or "dry" as the majority shall choose.

The scarcity of rain and snow so far during the present winter has caused considerable uneasiness for the sue cess of the crops in the irrigated val Ieys of the territory during the ap- preaching crop season Unless there is considerable snow and rain during the next thirty days the rivers of the territory will not have a good supply of water for growing crops during the spring and summer. These rivers must depend on melting snows in the noun tains for the supply of irrigating water which they afford. Up to the present time this has been one of the mildest winters experienced fin Arizona for many years. Such weather is all right for the present moment. but it means blight for the following agricultural season.

AMERICANS SHOULD
 REGISTER AT coNsuLATEs.

The Chihuahua Enterprise thu calls attention 10 the necessity o Americans visiting or sojourninS II Mexico to officially register with the American consulates:
 Americans in Mexico do not seem to take much interest in registering with their consuis. They seem to think that their citizenship can never be forfeited no matter what they do. hen els lack of interest in the sub ject.
 Tt ss true the law and rules re- quiring registration are not compnl- sory and that an American can always prove his citizenship If he will only stop a moment to think, this registra- ton is the simplest and easiest proof When registered this is all the proof he needs. It Is prima facie. It is no trouble to step into a consulate and register.
 The purpose of the government is to provide a means for conserving cit izenship. not to deprive any American of 1t. If one cares for nIs citizenship he surely can not object to the simple method of registering at consulate so he as well as the government eau always have the proof ate hand-the simplest proof possible. that there is no intention to expatriate one's self
 "In the very nature of things more Is required of naturalized American than of a native born and it behooyes the former to be careful to show his intention to preserve his American citizenship. Any American should want to keep in touch with his gov ernment and this is the means his gov ernment has provided to keep in touch with it's citizens.
 Of course these registration regula- tons when they first came out were construed by silly clerks in the state department and by fool consuls to the disgust of Americans and many would not have anything to do with them. However. the way seems to be clear now and we should all register.
 There is no denying the fact and there Is no sense in mincing words about it that we Americans expect nothing from our consuls. as a rule, in the way of protection If we need 1t and should by a piece of good luck get 1t, then we are that much ahead And there Is another fact equally pat ent. and there is no sense in mineing words about that either. It Is this: If we do have. a consul who will do his duty. secretaries of state. like the brilliant Root and the present able Bacon, win not let him for fear it might injure trade relations" It is 10 be hoped that the next incumbent, MT. Knox. will be able to remember hat there are American men as well as American dollars.

( BUSINESS MANS PROTEST.
(Arizona Republican.)

(ATizona Republican.)
 We quote elsewhere from letter by Mir. Albert Steinfeld Of Tucson. in protest against the railroad legisla- ton now pending in the house and council. Mir. Steinfeld is only one of score of Tucson business men who have sent such protests at the re- quest Of the organized railway chr pIoyes. We mention especially MT. steipfeld's objection 10 the legislation for the reason that if any man could be benefited more than any other by such legislation it would be he.
 Mr. Steinfeld is one of the heaviest shippers of the territory. Is deeply in- lterested in securing the lowest possi- ble rates. and he is now and for some time has been engaged in trying to SC cure reduced rates through the oper- ation of the Hepburn act. certainly as effective as any that our legislature could devise. No one doubts that ii he believed he could reach the same end. or that if he believed there was the slightest possibility of reaching it. that he would never have written discouraging the enactment of the leg islation.
 Mir SteinfeId probably has a better understanding of the subject than any man in the territory with the excep- ton of. perhaps. very few gentle men who stand very high in the rail road world.
 If in his opinion the legislation would be Illegal and nothing more. he would probably conclude that there could be no harm beyond a waste of time in enacting it. His objection to 1t. therefore. must be the same as tbss of other business men who have join
