SUPERV|SORsCU7 OFF INDECENT
 SUPPLIES
Especial to Review)

TOMBSTONE, Sept. 1.-The Board of Supervisors of Coehise county have issued ap order that there will be no more meal tickets issued on account of the county after the 30th day of the present month. This order has been mailed to the various merchants in the county who have been furnish in groceries to indigents for number of years and others for few months as occasions have arisen. The board has begun to realize that they were being imposed upon and the bills for the support of this class of people began to accmulate until is was reaching in the neighborhood of $500 and that some of the merchants were not using the best of judgment In allowing those who were given sup port by the county to purchase all sorts of delacacies instead of giving them the more staple and wholesome classes of food.
 For instance at the recent meeting of the board an itemized bill of gro ceries was receiI ed from a merchant in Douglas wh, was furnishing sup plies to the amount of $10 per month to a family there, the bill was amusing in the extreme and about every other item on the bill was "pie 15 cents" l" while fruits, cakes, cookies, etc, occur red frequently, It was this bill that broke the combination and as a con sequence there will be no more pie tickets issued.
 It is not the intention of the Board to deliberately cut of those who are in dire need of assistance, but tle order of things will be changed and a thorough investigation VII be made of each case by non-interested parties and then an order given to the mer, chant to allow them such staple food as they absolutely need and no other.
 There are some indigents who have been getting support for number of years from the county of whose cor dition the present board of super visors have no information as to whether they are deserving or not aid it is to investigate these cases as vel as to cut off the pie" ones that the board has decided to take this step.

The idea prevails that the Arctic re gions are always in the grip of King Frost. A careful log kept for the Meteorological society for six months, with temperature observations taken at eight a. m.; 12 noon, four D. m. and eight p. m. shows during that period that as far north as v degrees north latitude, or about 2,000 miles to the north of Ottawa, the average tempera- ture at noon worked out at 33.S5 de- grees Fahrenheit. The greatest cold noted was on October 2S at eight g. ni., in the seventieth degree of north lati- tude, IS degrees Fahrenheit. The greatest heat occurred on Septemt CT 2 at noon in the same latitude, and was g degrees Fahrenheit. The tenn perature observations were kept f. 10 May to October 31.

The Balance Wheel

Look inside your watch m mfnent The balance wheel is making 1S,00G vibrations an hour, if it is in good condition. If the movement is slug gish, there's something wrong. It will move 3,55S miles in year, and requires less than one-tenth of a drop of oil to make the run. But it needs that little badly. The least increase of friction on the bearings alters the motion. Don't take chances. Let me clean and oil and put your watch in order for a year. It will pay and satisfy you.

Food Which Constitutes Ideal M ,ai


 It must be remembered that pure starch, pure sugar. pure protein and even pure fat are practically nowhere found in state of nature. Roughly speaking, a dietary consisting of one fifth protein, or meat-like food; two thirds carbohydrate. or starch and sugar foods; and, to use a hibernic- ism. one-eighth fat, is the proper working proportion. This of course roughly corresponds to the slice of meat, two or more slices of bread. a helping of potatoes, rice or macaroni. the vegetables, the pat of butter and the fruit, sweets, pudding or pie which the average human regards as a square meal.

Natures Microscope

MATURE offers free microscope whenever
= one is wanted. She has been dealing in
free optical instruments and optical phenom-
ena ever since the first dewdrop formed or the
first raindrop fell earthward. Every dewdrop
and raindrop and spherical water drop has all
the powers and principles of microscope. To
get one of Natures microscopes in operation.
take up drop of water between the two points
of two sharpened sticks, say matches, and hold
the drop over the minute object to be examined.
The result will be that the object will be mag
nified about three diameters. The supposed in
venton of the microscope was nothing more
than shaping piece of glass into an imitation
of water drop SO as to be easily handled.
Spiders have made suspension bridges for ages.
The rough edge of swordgrass gave the inventor
the idea of the reaper blade for the harvester.
The buzzard has been using the aeroplane for
flying good many centuries. BY tapping on
an end of a long beam the man at the farther
end can hear you telegraphing, the sound trav-
cling through the timber. Fishes have been
using bladders of wind for balloons lifting them
in water for countless years. Water has been
a camera ever since the world had sunshine.
Help yourself to Natures store of all things
man needs; but never say anything about the
invention. Nature invented; you can only
arrange and combine facts.

As Others Hear Us

THE last person man becomes acquainted
with is himself. He cannot see himself as
others see him. can he even hear his own
voice with the ears of the rest of the world. In
proof of this latter inability, there may be cited
experiments made by DIR. Laloy. a French
scientist.
1t appears therefrom that if a person records
on photograph few sentences pronounced
by himself together with Others by his friends.
and causes the machine to reproduce these. it
generally happens that he easily recognizes his
friends voices, but not his own. This fact
proves that everyone hears his own voice differ
emily from others.
The difference lies in the quality of the tone
One hears his own voice not only through the
air as do his auditors but across the solid parts
situated between the organs of speech and
those of hearing The sound thus produced has
a different timbre from that conducted to the
ear by the air above.
Take the end of wooden rod between the
teeth and pronounce vowel continuously.
Let the other end be alternately taken between
the teeth and released by another person who
at the same time, stops his ears. The latter
will find that every time he seizes the rod in his
teeth the sound is stronger than when it
reaches the through the air above, and has
a different quality. The passage of sound
through solid body augments its intensity
and modiies its quality.

seems to know that am giving him good ad,
vice, and it seems to be exactly in the line OF
his own thoughts and purposes; but, sus-
pecting. if not knowing, that am anxious to
have him defeated, he believes that there is
something sinister in my advice. Then. after
rejecting upon each subject of our converse
tons. he blindly goes in an opposite direction
and does the wrong thing every time.
After it is all over and he is defeated. as he
will be, he will come to me and tell me that
was his best friend, and will acknowledge that
if he had followed my advice he would have
been reelected. He will blame himself for hav
ing been suspicious of my friendship and will
be one of my best and most influential friends
when the time comes for my reelection.
The Senator won out" as they say in the
political world. His colleague went wrong on
every political move. OF course he was de
feated, and when his successor had been elected
he came to the senior Senator who had so
shrewdly misled him during an entire year and
said:
If had only followed your advice, should
have been reelected, but could not bring my
self to believe that you were really my friend.
Now know that | was mistaken. You were
wiser than l, and you gave me proper advice.

Soapstone Fibers

THE discovery of few wears ago by Pro
fessor Boys that fused quartz can be drawn
into exceedingly fine fibers, which are superior
to all Others for many laboratory purposes, has
been followed by Professor Shenstone with
similar experiments with soapstone. When
highly heated, soapstone melts into a clear
glass. which can be drawn out into fine fibers
possessing all the qualities of elasticity and re-
sistance to chemical reagents that characterize
quartz fbers.

THE EUTURE STATE EXPENDITURES,


The point IS made that any plan Of dins over the State finances this year other
than that of dvertng income from the municipalities would be only a temporary
expedhnt; that the problem would become acute next year, just the same. The
reply may be made that there is n o need to cross bridges until W e come to them,
There is n o reason why the State expenditures for 1910 should BIT n larger in
the aggregate than the State expenditures this year The State has the great
advantage OF regulation oft the annual expenditures in advance by the statutory
appropriations, and the appropriations by the present Legislature for the next
fiscal year can be kept we'll within a reasonable estimate of the income for the
year. 1t is true that the cost of maintenance of most of the State institutions
and department. increases every year but it is also true that it should not
increase al anything like the rate Of increase for the kstt twelve years. 1t is
likewise admitted that these expenses can be greatly economical. Governor
Fort has demonstrated a saving Of perhaps a quarter o a million a year by
establishing a State board % purchase all State supplies in bulk Governor
stokes effected a large saving by procuring the creafono of the office Of State
archHect, to draw the plans and specifications for all State buildings Necessary
business economies can be effected in other directions. Er example, work is done
by the States dependents in manufacture and agriculture, for which the State
doe not get proper value or the full benefit of the results. The State prison
and the Railway Refonnatory can be made Jesse expensive by a better utilization
of their labor. Better results might be obtained by a more systematic oversight
of the labor ad products of State charitable institutions Improved methods
economy A go as-you-pease system of Institutional management means
expense. A wise economy does no mean stnginess. The State government
have cost several hundred thousand dollars less last year and without real
stint for any department or State board.

Nutley Man Tried to Turn Over
lrvington and Belleville,
but Missed.
BY HARRY DOANE.

TA ELLEV1LLE was almost admitted
- to the Union last year. That is
IT,, or she, whichever you like,
stood a pretty fair chance of being an
nexed to Newark. The bill passed the
House without more than the usual
amount of trouble, went over to the
Senate, and vas referred 10 the ON
mittee ON boroughs and townships.
Time dragged on and occasionally some
one asked in an absent-minded way
when it would be reported.
As adjournment drew nearer more
people became interested until finally
there was quite an uproar about it, but
there seemed to be no way of inducing
the committee to part with the thing.
AT last, during the last few hours be-
fore the Legislature closed for the year,
Senator Colby demanded that the bill
be produced and made such a stir about
it that people actually did begin to
wonder where it had gotten to.
Senator Hand, of Cape May, after
several futile attempts to interest Colby
in something else, confessed hat it was
lost. A search was instituted during
which Calendar Clerk John Heck broke
q five-gallon bottle of lithia water in
his efforts to locate the missing meas
ure.
But all to no purpose. The bill was
gone. Permission to pass a printed
copy was granted, but the Governor
had to veto it because in the hurry
several technicalities had been yer
looked. SO Belleville is still in the
outer darkness, SO to speak.

Along with his other measures Clark
handled some of the county legislation
1t was he that introduced and had
passed the bill allowing Essex to issue
bonds wherewith to complete the
county hospital work.
He probably knew just how it felt to

in the treasury to finish a Job already

himself for two terms, and was chair
man Of the committee on finance dur.
ing one of them. He was also a mem

ularly after the city, 81 far, anyway.
He has already introduced a bill by

may build subways for telephone and
other wires and may issue bonds for
the same.
A good many of his bills have to do
with bonds. That's his speciality. Even
in business life he constantly associates
with them, though Of a different kind,
and endeavors to get others Interested
in them too. which pleases the surety
company of which he is the general
agent in Newark very much indeed. ;.
Assemblyman Clark does not talk
very often excepting on one of his own
measures. When he does he gives every
appearance Of being acquainted with
what he is talking about. But he's
generally on hand to vote. and that's
the great thing in an assemblyiman. :
