CRIMINAL PRICE RAISING.

The commercialism which would destroy valuable produce or goods to create a scarcity for the purpose of bringing prices Up is contrary to every code of honor and every principle of justice.
 Brazil is about to burn thousands of bags of coffee in order to maintain the maximum price.
 The Toledo Blade says that "an ex- pertinent of the sort was made once by certain commission merchants of Chicago, who bought up fruit in Wis consin in a year of heavy yield and dumped carloads of it into Lake Mich igan. The policy if generally adopted, might suggest to the farmers that fire would save wheat from ever getting below a dollar a bushel. Our lake carriers. to make business, might jet tfson cargoes of iron ore, preventing its storage, and making sure that the Uoats are kept busy"
 And observing the brutality and meanness of the practice the consun1 CTS might organize and take the goods from these men by force. This is a horrible suggestion, but sowing the seed of dishcnor is the way to -eap something of a criminal nature. To make produces or goods dear by self ish destruction is wicked. and in ef- feet a robbery of the people; and such evil methods are likely to produce something worse in retaliation.

ANSWERS EVERY CALL
Norwich People Have Found That
 This Is True.

A cold. c strain. q sudden wrench,
 A little cause may hurt the kidneys.
 Spells of backache often follow,
 Or some irregularity of the urine.
 A certain remedy for such attacks.
 A medicine that answers every call,
 Is Doan's Kidney Pills. a true spe- cinc.
 Many Norwich people rely on 1t.
 Here Is Norwich proof.
 Mrs. c. s. Bennett. living at lo7 High Street, Norwich, Conn, says: Some four or five years ago Mir Bennett learned of Doan's Kidney Pills and after using them as directed for a short time, was greatly benefited. Being a motormaH, he is subject to a great deal of jarring. and this, together with the constant standing that Is required in his work, caused his back to ache, and as a result he suffered severely. If he would take cold It would settle on his Kidneys and his misery would be ag- gravated. That his kidneys were the cause of his suffering was plainly shown by the kidney secretions which were very irregular in action and un- natural in appearance. Doan's Kidney Pills brought him positive relief from all these dif1cuities, and he has relied upon this remedy to check any return of the trouble. Doan's Kidney Pills can be procured at N. D. Sevin & Sons drug store, and 1 am pleased to rec ommend them"

The Food Problem.

The food problem has existed ever since the world began. But to the ever-present question of ho wone is to get enough to eat modern scientists are adding all sorts of complications. The French and German doctors are the busiest in this direction at pres cnt, and all sorts of extraordinary discoveries are set forth. One of them is persuaded that our only chance of living is to give up all other kinds of food and subsist entirely on Gruyere cheese; this, he says, contains all the rutriment that is required by man; this theory has it's advantage-think how it would simplify our housekeep- ing. The restaurant keepers would not welcome the general adoption of this Giet, to be sure, and it might prove a little monotonous in time
 A much more interestin gtheory than either of these is put forth by another professor. He says that our actions can be controlled by the food we eat; certain salads will produce certain mental conditions of the mind Unfortunately, he does not give to the world these invaluable rules. If we only knew, how beautiful we might make this world! Criminal courts might almost be dispensed with, and the severest sentence a judge would impose would be to put an offender upon a diet of strawberries and cream, for instance. However, knowing that we can eventually reach such a. state, there is opportunity for interesting ex- erimentS.-BostOn Globe.

 If he wanted me to git in with him. instid Of havin' some of the generals, all of whom had hung back dazed and fiabbergasted when he pranced out hangin' on my arm, wasn't the boy to reneg. At the sight of me gittin in, all of them generals fell to jahberin', scrappin, disputin', reproachin' and bla1nin' one another to such an extent that they hadn't got into their car ner on the way to the banquet hall.
 Say, is 1t one of them cussed tire some banquets and speeches, mon rresident7' asked the ambassador.
 Then see 1t all He thought was the president of the republic. And really was the swellest one of tEe guys he had seen.
 On you the cross of the Legion of Hon. or that I'm intrusted to give you and hand you the treaty about the French claim right here and now and cut out the whole fool banquet business
 "'You can and will, mon amba;ssa- dor says I. I'll take you out to a place where we can have a friendly game, a cold bottle and a warm bird.'
 "'Mon preserver!' says he.
 Mon good old scoutt' says I.
 T give the driver directions and we got to Casa Real unobserved. I reckon I got about ten bones off his excellency. At the end of the fourth game he lit a cigar with the address he was to have made and threw the cross of the Legion of Honor on the table. When he give me the treaty to read, after a decent interval sent him home.
 Before an hour some generals was out. They were sore about the cross of the Legion of Honor. said the ambassador could git 'en another. They said France gives only so many and that any man was hog who with such a pair of fine red pants would try to swipe a cross of the Legion of Hon or off a Teller. So l let 'em have the. ( rosssfor $1o0 and sold 'em the Sanga- mon county fair souvenir, too, for $50 more. They didn't know about the treaty. I took 1t to the ngineer off, cer in charge of our division and there I made a mistake. He read 1t.
 "1t is important, supremely im- portant,' he said, but you stole it.

When I was in Panama folks was doin' a good deal of talkin' about a secret treaty between Panama and France said the lean man who sat by the lodging house stove. "One night when was boss on the Casa Real sec tion of the canal, jest as was think in how I could help Taft make suc- cess of the canal. two high officials of Panama came in.
 Could you lend us private?' said they.
 Which? says L
 "'We cannot tell which until we see your supply said they.
 I don't understand,' says I.
 Why, the new ambassador of France is to arrive tomorrow and he will be received in state in the city of Panama. There are 200 generals in our army and there was fifty privates, but we sent forty-nine to see about a disturbance in the north and they skipped over the Costa Rica line, where the bananas are better. Somebody stole the red pants off Jose Macias. the one private that is left. and he is hors du combat. A soldier without red pants, can he fght?, By no means. Now, 1t ain't fittin for a general to open the carriage door for the ambas- sador, so we need private For the use tomorrow of a private, uniformed any sort of uniform-Pll pay s10
 "T I'll come myself said I. I am. a member of the Perfected Order of Pythagoras and have my uniform here. There's red pants to it.
 So next day I got into Panama city just before the ambassador was to ar rive. Them generals nearly fell over when they seen me. There I was, hired as private and beatin' the gay est general. The uniform of the Per- fected Order of Pythagoras was cer- tainly swell and I had helped out by putin on my breast the official badges of the Sangamon county fair and the Tere Haute carnival and the souvenir of the founding of the city of Oshkosh. Them generals was mad. Still, as none of 'em would git down to the point of openin' the carriage door, they kept me on the job.
 'The train pulled in and stepped up to the ambassador. He bowed low and said something mouth fllin'.
 Jest for a josh said I, let's plague the rest by talkin' English
 Good enough said he, laughin' and his whole demeanor changin' to affable Anglo o-Saxon democracy the minute he cut out the high soundin, monarchical Spanish. As I remarked am indeed honored to be received by the greatest in the state and he took my arm.

AIimonv for Life.

A great many interested parties will wonder whether d recent decision of a Chicago jurist will be sustained by the higher courts. Some years ago Chi cago woman secured a divorce from her husband on the ground of infidel- ity which her husband admitted. At that time he was worth nothing. Now he is worth $50,000 and his divorced wife sues him for maintenance. The judge declares that the husbands changed circumstances justify his for mer wife in asking for relief.
 The court decides in favor of the woman. The man whose wife is forced because of his unfaithfulness to se- cure a divorce from him should be compelled to support her. The suf- fering all falls upon the wronged wife. Through no fault of her own, her home Is broken up, and she is obliged to separate herself from the man who has promised to provide for her. The man should not be allowed to go scot free, and prey upon society, turing ether victims to their fall.---Milwaukee Sentinel

There is no place where the art of selfishness is made more apparent than in a newspaper office. The de- sire to achieve some purpose under cover of something else, or to get something for nothing is SO great that every conceivable plan Is resorted to for the accomplishment of the pur- Lose. These samples from the morn inr mail of the editor of the Toledo Blade are a repetition of the mail of the editors of most of the daily pa pers:

Will anybody who reads about An drew Carnegie's day in Paris yester- day ever repeat the old bit of fudge about rich man getting nothing but his food and his clothes out of his wealth? Mir. Carnegie was the guest of honor at a great public dinner and received @ gold medal in recognition of the scholarships in the University of France endowed by him. Then he was thanked by the president of the French republic for his gift of $1,- 000,000 yielding an income of $50,000 a year, as a hero fund for France. He was feted and honored as no other American has ever been in Paris, and it is safe to say that he enjoyed every minute of one of the pleasantest days that any human being ever spent in the French capltal.-HaE-tford Times.

He will smile and nod his head and apparently agree with you that your man is just the fellow for the job. Just as you think it is all fixed up he will suggest a man you didn't think he had ever heard about. He gen. erally makes up his mind about the type of man he wants to fill a certain office and will keep hunting until he finds the fellow he is after. In spite of his calm, judicial temperament. he sticks to his own ideas with almost as much pertinacity as did his strenuous predecessor. Washington letter in Brooklyn Eagle.
