New York. Feb. 5, 1910.
circumstances combined to further
unsettle the stock market during the
past week. In the first place it was
very evident that the big holders of
securities and prominent banking in
terests had withdrawn their support
from the market. This left prices at
the mercy of every passing unfavora-
Bile current. The suspension of a
prominent bond house spread unneces-
sary lack of confidence A series of
unfavorable railroad reports came out,
such rs might have been expected in
view OF recent Interruptions to traffic
by bad weather The anti-corpora-
ton agitation at Washington and ali
exaggerated fear of unfavorable su-
preme court decisions also tended to
weaken confidence. Still another dis
turbing element was the effect upon
general business of continued agita.
tion throughout the country against
high prices. Even the floods in Paris
We're used as bear argument, al
though that catastrophe can have but
slight indirect influence in this mar
ket.
The general situation remains fun
damentally sound. 1t is doubtful if
any very injurious legislation will be
passed during the present session of
congress. The issues there are so
many and SO complex as to Illustrate
precipitate action. President Taft's
extreme policies are not likely to 20
through without much resistance and
considerable modification
Co
business is concerned the agitation
against high prices is unquestionably
having its effect. In some instances
commodity prices have already yield
ed; and in the public mind the spirit
OF economy is taking the place of the
spirit of extravaganza which has ruled
for so many months. Retailers are al
ready feeling this new tendency in a
degree. and are consequently
buying with much more caution than
for many months past. This hest
fancy on the part of retailers is natur-
ally reflected in the wholesale mar
kets, and in both the textile and gro
Gerry trades there is spirit of con-
servatism which is in marked contrast
with the feeling of month ago This
Is not harmful. and will ultimately
prove. beneficial.
The index figures for January should
show decrease, since many articles
have declined in price during the past
month. especially those which enter
most largely into the cost of living.
The agitation against high prices has
not been without good effect, mas
much rs it has developed a more con
servative spirit in business, and prob
ably less extravagant habits at home.

THE UNION OF CHURCH AND
STATE.
AN D

Editor Ottumwa Courier
We think we have fairly presented
our case before your readers, to the
effect that Sunday laws are contrary
to the principles Of liberty, and to the
principles on which our government is
founded: that is. contrary to the eter-
nal separation of church and state.
AS touching religion, each should be
free. When government goes beyond
this, anarchy is preferable However.
before taking final leave of the Sun
day question, would take a passing
note of Bro. Graham's article. He states
that give no ground for argument
only my declaration-that we are un-
der no divine obligation to observe
Sabbath. And he says ] come to this
conclusion from the higher critics;
on the ground that the original Sab
bath was based on error But. mind
YOU, he, himself, says it was part of
the old covenant. and that that cove
nant is dead. Now that which Is dead
is void. Whether born of error or
truth 1t lays in the same coffin. And
so until he shows resurrection,
which he failed to do, he leaves the
verdict for u.s. Had he read all the ar
tlcles-Which he says he did not-he
would have seen an offer OF 500 for
passage of scripture threatening any
one for working on Sunday. Jesus
Sabbath was the one of the old cove
nant, now dead, as has been shown.
The founders Of our government
and our greatest statesmen, being
versed In history, have seen the great
evils growing out of the union of
church and state. They have used pre-.
caution in the constitution and other
wise: to prevent the commingllng of
religion and government HotWith.

them, why eat them at all? They are
largely water. woody 6ber, with some
mineral matter and flavoring extracts,
and any of these ingredients can be
obtained from any other vegetable or
fruit and possibly at less cost to the
digestive organs.
Then, too, the matter of nourishment
and cost should always be considered
when planning the meals for a day.
When cucumbers, which are more than
30 per cent water. are selling for Is
cents apiece the housekeeper is hard
ly excusable If she provides them for
her family at the expense Of eggs,
milk. bread or some other food from
which nourishment is derived. Eggs
contain about Ia per cent tissue build
Ing material. Dried beans have about
20 per cent Of the same constituent.
When the former are selling for 40
cents dozen and the latter for 5
cents quart 1t is the part of wisdom
and thrift to have baked beans on the
table more frequently than omelets or
souffies.
dS OCSt dil toAuO uIJllGI Will lu-
clude clear soup TO stimulate the di-
gestive juices, properly cooked meat
dish. vegetable or two--one fresh II
possible-bread and butter, to which a
simple dessert. preferably fresh fruit,
Is added. Tea and coffee are not nec-
essary for nourishment or for aids to
digestion. In fact. it is better to omit
them altogether. Once day is often
enough to serve meat to any family.
Even the farmer who is engaged In
active outdoor, work will be Just as
well fed and better nourished If he
eats flesh food only once a day and
gets his tissue building material from
eggs. beans. macaroni and cheese or
some other Of the proteid foods. Sensi-
BILE people are learning even IL slowly,
that large amount Of meat is not
necessary In the diet Of even hard
working people.
What is For Breakfast?
Many housekeepers consider the bug
aboo of their daily work is arranging
the menus for the ever recurring
breakfast. dinner and supper. They
hail with delight any suggestions for
new dishes that will furnish variety tn
any bill of fare. Breakfast is general
ly light meal In most homes, but its
simple menu should present some vari-
ETY.. and every dish included In 1t
should be, prepared with special care.
In my opinion. meat dishes should ap-
pear but seldom on the breakfast ta-
bic. little thiniy sliced bacon or
piece Of deiicately Drowned fish be-
Ing the exception. There is generally
quite enough starch. too. In the break

For your consideration let me suggest
one or two breakfast menus that viii
be not only appetizing. but furnish the
required amount of nntriment as well:
Baked Apples

Hot Mullins. Jam.
Sliced Oranges.

Goldfish Balls.
Griddlecakes With S!rup.

Bacon and Griddlecalses.

TAFT AND THE TRUSTS,

The f1urries in Wall street during tn,

the leading eastern newspapers, result

PRESIDENT Taft's message of Jan. Z. Tht
Springfield Republican. Independent
in politics, declares that "a part o
the business world. deceived bv itsol
into a mental attitude of believing
that this was to be if not a reaction
ary administration, at least let-alone
one, is now conscious of the fact thai
the Roosevelt policies are indeed be
ing continued. The New York Even
ing Mail believes that what has hap
pened is that Wall street takes more
seriously than it did the language OF
the message" The Mail goes on tC
say
Some people have banked toe
much on Mr.. Taft's quiet manner and
are tardily waking up to purpose
on his part which it neither concealed
nor emphasized.
ut is realized that in Mr.. Wicker.
sham he has an agent for his work
whose prior corporation experience
has armed him with tools rather than
at all abated his willingness to use
them when his client is the federal
government.
What was done under Theodore
Roosevelt was all preliminary. His
administration merely cleared the
ground, did not entirely accomplish
that. There was no break in purpose
when Mr.. Taft succeeded him, what
ever vain inferences have been drawn
from the latters judicial temperament.
1t is AS much matter for congratu-
lation that the final stages in the
movement to curb the aggressions Of
corporations, and make them keep
within their proper channels, are to be
entrusted to man of that temperament
as 1t was that the pioneer work fell to
man of uncommon initiative and
natural instinct for propaganda. A
deeper conception of Mr.. Taft's fixed
ness of purpose is dawning 1t is well
that the movement has SO timed it's
own developments that the work Of
construction will be in his own strong
and steady hands
"The end Of 1t all is likely to be a
solution which shall retain to Amer
lean society all the economies and
benefits that inhere in associated eff
fort, and yet shall give expression to
those ancient ideas Of well-being
which hold in abhorrence all combina-
tions that artifcially enhance the
price of the necessaries of life"
The Chicago Record Herald adds it's
testimony, moved by the Gridiron
clubs Back From Elba' antics, in
which was told what would happen
when Roosevelt comes back. The Rec
ord-Herald declares that Roosevelt
and Taft are warm personal friends
and that there will be abundant eyi-
dence Of this fact when Roosevelt
does return from Elba" The Rec.
ord-Herald adds:
Roosevelt was president for more
than seven years, and what he accom-.
plished was not accomplished in a sin
gle season, but by hard fighting year
after year. He knows the magnitude
of Taft's task and he would be the
last person to condemn a president
who would fail to carry through a doz.
