GOOD READING

Tell me what a man reads and
viii tell you what he is" sail Il wise
writer: for little BY little the things
that we read become our thoughts and
make the very texture of the mind.
During the last few months the at
tention of the American people has
i,.sn aroused ~ the consideration Of
pure and impure foods. This agita-
tion has done good. for with the
abundance of good food there is lit
tie excuse for using any food which
Is harmful. The time has come when
the American family must give better
attention than In the past to another
mattsr-the choice between good and
bad reading. We have read enough
about wickedness In both public and
private life: too many stories of Grim
inal transactions too much about the
evil and not enough about the good in
| life.
Let us have the bright and clean
side of our American life only. Let
us read stories OF heroes who are both
| brave and noble. and not vulgar and
confessed criminals. The mission If
the press Is To help the reader. not
drag him down. to suggest high. net
low ideals.
During the next few weeks the as-
erase American family selects the
periodicals Ia enter In. home for the
next year Fer our OWN sake. and
still more for the sake of our sons
and daughters. /, is most important
that We should select our periodicals
with great discrimination. Let these
subscriptions be only for clean. whole
some. patriotic periodicals.. those
which present the good. not the bad.

Jury Finds Fraud In Customs

New York, March 6.-The jury in the
case Of the government against the
American Sugar Refining company yes

against the company for the full amount

with the classifying of scales to deprive
the government Of customs duties on

In his charge, Judge Holt told the
jurymen that II they found that any
Of the directors or other officers Of the
sugar company knew Of the existence
Of any device for tsmpering with the
scales they must find the defendants
guilty.

GOVERNMENT WINS POINT.
Must Still Prove Publication Of is-cent
Rate at Standard Oil Trial.

Chicago, March GA vital point in
the governments case against the Stan
dsrd Oil company was decided in the
formers favor by Judge Anderson on
Thursday. The defense argued against
the admission OF tariff a." which shows
the rate on oils between Whiting, Ind,
and East st. Louis to be IS cents, on
the ground that the mere posting in
Chicago OF notice that the tariff was on
file in the Chicago Office OF the Chicago
& Alton did not constitute publication.
Without publication the rate, it was
contended, was illegal and could not be
recognized by the court.
Had this document been barred. the
governments case would have crumbled,
but Associate District Attorney W n
son, in an argument which lasted all
the forenoon, saved the day for the gov.
eminent.
The victory was only a partial one,
for the courts ruling admitted as evil
dence only the notice OF the existence
of tariff "a The Judge stated that
the government would have to prove by
witnesses the actual publication of the
tariff sheet itself. This Mr.. Wilkerson
said he would do.

They are the white eorpusces, 1.-The "Little
Soldiers Of the Blood
Modern science has demonstrated that these
white corpuscles are the disease-hghters of the
blood. See the picture in the circle, and the ex-
PLANTATION of how they fight for you They de-
stroy the millions of germs which pass into
our bodies with every breath we take. When the
blood is poor and thin and deficient in its proper
supply Of white eorpuscles, the invading germs
swarming in, and finding the defending force
too weak to oppose them, take possession OF the
body and begin their work Of destruction.
This is the beginning Of an attack Of an in
fictitious disease such as the grip, pneumonia, and
feyers, and even Of the winter cough or cold.
The germs Of such diseases sweep across the
surface Of the delicate mucous membranes Of
the throat, the nostrils, the air passages Of the
lungs Nothing can stop their attacks or de-
feat their ravages, but pure, disease-fghting
blood, the blood that Hood Sarsaparilla makes.
II is also owing to the thin, impure condition
Of the blood that scrofulous troubles, eczema,
boils and pimples, develop, and rheumatism. ca

ingly, 1t is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

PATRICK GOES TO NEW YORK.
Will Argue Governor Had No Right tc
Commute His Death Sentence.


New York, March e.--AIbert T. Pat
rick, the convicted murderer of William
Marsh Rice, appeared before the appel
late division of the supreme court In
Brooklyn yesterday afternoon to argue
the question whether or not Gov. Hig.
gins had the right to commute the sem
tence of death which had been pronounc-
ed upon Patrick to one of life imprison-
ment. Ever since, at the intervention
of many persons Of standing, who be-
Iieved that the convicted lawyer had been
dealt too harshly with, Governor Hig-
gins committed the sentence, Patrick
has been fighting to gain his freedom.
He was brought down from Sing Sing
on an early train yesterday and taken
directly to the Borough Hall. Yester-
days trip is the sequel Of one on Mon.
day, when Patrick appeared before the
same court on a writ of habeas corpus
obtained from Justice Gaynor. The pris-
oner presented a petition setting forth
his reasons why his freedom should be
restored to him.
As5lsbhub DlHbIACJ AbOOHucy lhylUI
filed an answer to Patrick's petition, and,
upon request of the prisoner, an adjourn
ment was taken. Patrick's request to
be held in the custody OF the local sheriff
was denied, and he was remanded to
Sing Sing.
II the governors action is upheld, then
Patrick will assert that he never ac-
cepted the Communication, and evidence
for and against this contention will be
introduced. On both issues Patrick will
be able to carry his appeal to the United
States supreme court.

EDITORIAL BY ROOSEVELT.
Ex-President Treats of Journalism in
First Article For Outlook.

New York, March 6.-The first edi.
torial article from the pen of exPresi.
dent Roosevelt, which appears in the
March issue Of the Outlook, deals with
the subject of Journalism" IL says in
part;
Every owner, editor or reporter Of a
conscientious newspaper is an asset OF
real value to the community. We have
many newspapers, big and little, of this
kind. But we also have many that are
emphatically not of this kind
During the last few years it has be-
come evident that certain newspapers
are controlled by men who have gained
wealth in evil fashion, who desire 10
stife honest public opinion, and who
find an instrument in the purchased
mendacity of those who edit and write
for such papers"
Mr.. Roosevelt then pays his respects
to "the apostles of that hideous yellow
journalism which destes the cult of the
mendaeious, the sensational and the
name"
In conclusion he refers to another
type Of temptation which has much fas-
cination for men OF cultivation, and
which is quite az fatal TO their useful
ness as yellow journalism" He says of
these;
The newspaper which avoids vulgar
sensationalism, which appeals to people
Of taste and intelligence, may neverthe-
less do them grave harm and be, within
its own rather narrow limits, an element
Of serious mischief. For it may habit
uelly and consistently practice malign
and slanderous untruthfulness which,
though more refined, is as immoral as
s, nsationalism."
