in personal attractiveness, or the
awful pain and suffering that accom-
panies the disease, and this constant
suggestion affects the appetite, i'm
pairs nutrition, weakens the resist
ing powers of the body and tends to
encourage and develop any possible
hereditary faint of disease tendency.
1t is we'll known that during an
epidemic people have developed the
disease they feared, even before any
physical contact was possible by
which the contagion could have been
impaired to them, because they al
lowed their minds to dwell on the ter
rible thing they dreaded. In 1888
there was an epidemic of yellow fever
at Jacksonville, Fla, and a very ex-
tensive epidemic of fear throughout
the southern states. The latter dis
ease was much more contagious than
the former and much less amenable
to treatment This mental malady
visited every little town, village and
hamlet in several states and many
victims died of fear.

Death from Fear.

There is an old Persian fable that
once King Solomon met the angel of
death and inquired where he was go
ing. The angel replied: "To Damas-
Gus to kill 10000 people with the
plague" Soon after the report came
that 100000 people died of the mall
ady and King Solomon meeting the
angel reproached him with having
misstated the case. The angel said:
the rest died of fear"
Orison Sweet Marden, in Success,
has an article on this malady. Some
people are afraid of nearly every
thing; they are afraid of a draught,
afraid Of getting chilled or of taking
cold; they are afraid to eat what they
want; they are afraid to venture in
business matters for fear of losing
their money; they are afraid of pub
lie opinion; they have a perfect hor-
ror of what Mrs. Grundy thinks. They
are afraid hard times are coming;
afraid of poverty; afraid of failure;
afraid the crops are going to fail;
afraid of lightning and tornadoes;
their whole lives are filed with fear,
fear, fear. Their happiness is poison
ed with 1t so that they never take
much pleasure or comfort in any
thing.
There are many people who have a
dread of certain diseases. They pic
fure the horrible symptoms, the loss

FIELD OF LITERATURE

Hampton's for August.-In the mass
of material that is being written about
Theodore Roosevelt these days, it is
refreshing to find in Hampton's maya

sis of the man and his probable future
as that contained in the article rs
Roosevelt Inevitable?" by Judson c.
Welliver. The ex-president's probable
attitude toward insurgency is one of
the most interesting phases of Ameri-
can politics today and Mr.. Welliver
has made it exceedingly clear just
where Roosevelt stands in relation to
insurgency and to the republican party.
This number of Hampton's is notable
also because in it Commander Robert
E. Peary gives completely his proofs
of the discovery Of the north pole. He
goes into minute detail in his descrip-
tions of scientific instruments used
and observations taken to determine
his whereabouts at the final stage of
his journey.

Or see a cabbage lift it's head
To greet me as ] pass
Or hear the gentle repartee
Tossed OF by garden sass.
The ice plant cools my fevered brow,
And. much TO my surprise,
The new potatoes look at me
And slyly wink their eyes.
The turnip never turns me down
When / would take a bite.
The rhubarb calls me Brother Rubor'
And says am all right.
The currants glowing red and ripe
To currency will turn.
The lettuce says, Let US be friends.~
That offer who would spurn?
The corn gives ear TO what 1 say,
And. steaming IN the pot,
Its kernels give me private JOY
And touch tender spot.
Oh. charming little garden plot.

A symphony indeed you are
Though tuned to ragtime weedsi

You Can Register.

One of the principal complaints
against the former primary law which
is now dead and which bears the name
the Oglesby law-was that in cities
with boards of election commissions
there was no provision for registration
Under the new primary law now in
effect, voters who are not registered
or who have changed their places of
residence since last registration, can
register.
Voters desiring to register may do
so at the Office Of the board Of election
commissioners in the city hall.
Voters may register there now, if
they are qualified, by filing an affidavit
or affirmation. Registration in this
matter will be permitted until Aug. &c.
This feature of the new law should
be of special interest to the voters Of
cities who did not register last spring.
These voters can now register at the
Office of the board of election commits
sioners.
This registration is only good, how
ever, for the primary, and there must
be a complete new registration before
the fall election There will then be
two registration days and complete new
registration in every precinct in the
city
The registration for the primary
election is vitality important, and every
voter in the city should understand his
right to qualify to vote at the primary.
7 No voter should overlook this oppor-
tunity to qualify for the primary.

Why Bleach Flour?

Millers have been rivaling each other
in their endeavor to make flour white, -
claiming that the winter the better.
The federal government has stepped in
with its pure food law and has interior
ed with this claim by holding that in
the bleaching process to make flour
white in some cases chemicals are
used injurious TO health. In the case
recently decided at Kansas City it has
been held that this bleached -four is
adulterated and misbranded and under
the pure food law cannot be an article
of interstate commerce. 1t was charg-
ed that the -four was adulterated be-
cause 1T was bleached by the use of
nitrogen peroxide and was misbranded
because labeled in a way to indicate
that it was made from first grade
hard winter wheat" when in fact it
was not
The chief counsel for the millers COM
plains because the case was submitted
to a jury instead of being tried before
a referee and seems to think the re-
suit would have been different if the
question had been determined by "a
board of scientific men" But the es-
sential question is whether bleaching
-four made from one grade of wheat
and selling it as the product of diff
ferent grade should be permitted.
There is no pretense that bleaching
-four, which must cost something, i'm
proves it or adds to its real value in
any way. even if il does not injure its
quality. 1t looks very much like de-
Ception, which may add TO the profit
of the miller and perhaps of the grower
of the wheat from which the flour is
made, but which defrauds the consum-
er, inasmuch as he is induced to pay
q higher price than he otherwise would
for the same quality of flour. We can
see no other object in the bleaching.
The millers are reported as saying
that if this verdict holds, it will cost
the farmers of the southwest S16,000,-
600 a year, as the "differential Of
cents busheT' which formerly prevail
ed at st. Louis and Chicago will be re-
stored. This apparently means that
the quality OF wheat used in making
bleached flour sells at cents a bushel
more than it would if the -four could
not be bIeached. This looks like
confession that a false value is given
to it by a process which is not a ben
eft to the product, burt a fraud upon
the consumer. This is not plea that
is likely to appeal to the sympathies of
honest folks who do not raise wheat
but who do eat bread made of flour.
Why should articles of food be bleach
ed or colored except to profit purvey-
ors at the expense of the consumers?

Parliamentary Courtesy in the House.

AS an illustration of the way men,
bers of the house of representatives
sometimes sacrifice parliamentary
courtesy to the force of their feel
ings, a writer in the Popular maya
zine gives the following dialogue be-
tween Representative Payne, republi-
can, Of New York, and Representa-
tive Shackleford, democrat, of Mis-
souri,, as it occurred during the de-
bate on changing the membership Of
the committee on rules:
Mr.. Payne: The gentleman from
Missouri has given US the most I'M
founded harangue I ever listened to.
Mr.. Shackleford: 1 ask that
Mr.. Payne Gnterrupting) 1 hope
the wind from the cave will cease and
let somebody do some talking.
Mr.. Shackleford: Mr.. Speaker,

Mr.. Payne (hotly): I hope
Mr.. Shackleford (shouting): Your
hopes will never be realized. A point
of order. Mr.. Speaker!
Mr.. Payne: You wouldn't know a
point of order from a hole in the
ground!
At this stage the speaker found it
necessary to restore order.
