Omissions of History.

John Hancock first signer of the Declar-
alton Of Independence, was about to affix
his autograph to that immortal docu-
ment.
"Of course he said. "in regular and
proper alphabetical order my name ought
not to come first, but his majesty, King
George. probably will pronounce 1t John
'Ancock.' anyhow, and the effect will be
the same"
Thereupon he appended his signature,
and anyone who doubts the literal truth of
this story is referred to the Declaration
itself.

Raw Foods Reduce Flesh.

People troubled with superiuous
flesh should take up a diet Of raw
foods, says the Delineator.
We know that all heating substances.
such as fats, starches and alcoholic
drinks. are fattening; for that reason
many advocate the complete elimina-
ton of heat. Cold baths instead Of hot
are advised. as by this means bodily
heat is distracted, the effort to supply
more increasing combustion, and re-
duction Of flesh follows.
In addition to cold baths an uncook-
ed cold diet Is pursued. One author
ity states that this diet consists OF alb
solutely raw foods; 1t must consist
mainly Of fruits, nuts. grains, milk and
when flesh meat Is desired, hamburg
beefsteak may be partaken OF; to this
may be added raw oysters and CLAIMS.
Every kind Of fruit except apples is
allowed; also melons, salads and vege-
tables. A small quantity of freshly
cracked gain, about a tablespoonful at
a meal. is very strengthening and very
delicious after one becomes accustomed
to it. This regimen pursued for one
year. will produce astonishing results.

Aroused Suspicion.

Once upon a time. when Senator Robert
Taylor, of Tennessee was "Fiddling Bob"
Taylor, and on a lecture tour. he picked
up an old railroad man who was on the
bum and transported him north from
Louisiana. The bum was an interesting
fellow and the governor enjoyed his con-
versation immensely. While the train was
rolling along between Lake Charles and
Alexandria, on q branch of the Texas
railroad, II entered thick pine forest.
All of sudden 1t stopped. A lone flag
mans shanty was the only sign Of hui
man habitation. A passenger on the train
grabbed small handbag and got off the
train.

IT is now less than a month until
primary election day. On that day the
Republican voters of Wisconsin must
decide whether progressive principles
shall prevail or the Wisconsin Idea"
yield to Toryism and reactionary
regime. More than the state govern
ment is at stake Senator Robert M.
LaFollette, a recognized leader of the
Progressive cause in the Senate of the
United States, is standing for re-elec-
ton 20 his seat in that body. Against
him is directed every effort Of a bitter,
weIl-organized and well-fnanced oppo-
sition. To defeat him, nothing is being
left undone by his opponents, organized
under the campaign management Of
W. d. Common, who has proved himself
a facilitating, rule or ruin politician.
