HAWLEY IS NEW HARTMAN

Edwin Hawey has succeeded to the throne

has been a change of alignment of the greatest
financial powers in Wall street and they have
proffered to Hawley the backing of thcr millions,
which were the essence of the Hartman power.
and which, likewise, makes Hawley the dominant
figure in the American railroad world This shift
of the balance of money power to the support of
Hawley marks the most important of several
changes in the railroad situation that have been
brought about by the passing of Hartman.
Another change of scarcely less interest dur

Temperance i'm Diet.

You know that you eat too much
meat, pastry and unreasonable
things. And you stand ready to ar
que in favor of temperance in eating
as well as drinking, and yet you order
meats and other unreasonable vege-
tables and wind up with lot Of un-
necessary pastry.
You wouldn't order this for your
dog, or horse, or chickens. You must
think a lot of yourself, and Of your
family, and Of your friends, to treat
your dogs and dumb brutes better
than these. But it is coming; a good
time is coming, when men will act
upon their knowledge, have the cour.
age of their conviction and cultivate
common sense, and insist upon hav-
ing it taught in school, in church and
in the press
The Intoxicating drink habit is the
most offensive habit just now, but
deleterious eating is not far behind
it. Indeed, it is coming boldly into
view, and will soon be in the lime
light.

don't know how to live more ration
ally than you are living. you would
feel much like resenting it sharply,
if not bluntly with a club.-Pitts-
