Upton Sinclair may have wild
ideas ON some subjects, but his
ideas on diet are very practical
and if more people would adopt
them the question of living would
be greatly simplifed. He says:
owe have a big house, but we
should no more know what to do
with servant than we should know
what to do with a white rhinoc-
eros, if President Roosevelt should
send us one from East Africa.
1--WE have a barrel of walnuts in
the pantry, and n of pecans; and
a sack of figs and one of prunes,
and one of raisins; and once a week
the grocer boy brings a big bunch
of blnanas and a box of oranges
and a basket of persimmOns: and
there we are.
"Three times a day We put some
one of these things into a bowl and
pump water over them till they
are fresh and shiny, and then
carry them out onto the lawn; and
there we spread a newspaper, into
which we throw the nut shells and
banana Feelings; and when we are
all through we chuck the paper
into the stove and put the bowls
back into the kitchen, and our

plication for a franchise has been
made to the city by the Alabama
Gas cmpany, a million dollar cor
poration organized for the pur-
pose Of utilizing the natural gas

ing of a pipe line from Fayette
through Columbus to Artesia,

Girls I~rreligious.

Greel, Col, July 13.-Girls
turning sixteen are absolutely ir-
religious according to DR.. STAN
ley Hall, president and professor
of psychology at Clark Univer-
sity, Worcester, Mass, lecturing
at the Summer Normal School
here yesterday. Hence it is, he
explained, that they are devoted
to rats, puffs, psyche knots,
fudge, giggles and other ephe-
mereal things.
The budding girl is as baff-
ling a problem as the soul of
woman" said DR.. Hall. land
the world now know that, in
stead of no soul at all, woman
now has one, two, three or even
four more than man.
THE young girl is absolutely
irreligious in her nature. Her
life is all emotion and for that
reason a certain religious fervor
is likely to appeal to her. She
should be protected from profess
sional religionists."

campaign to the high satisfaction
of the interests. #....A.
What progressive Republican
would have valued victory won
in this manner? Yet 1t does not
stand to reason that the old
guard could have carried the
State. This discredited combina-
ton had persistently fought Gov
ernor Hughes reform policies. 1t
did everything in its power to
prevent the passage of the law
against racing. 1t defeated direct
primary legislation In spite of
Hughes best efforts. 1t warred
against the corporation reforms
put through by the Governor with
the steady support of the aroused
public. Had 1t ruled at Saratoga
the old guard could not have rail-
lied the progressive voters of the
Republican party to its ticket.
Its candidate for Governor would
have been defeated by far great
er majority than that by which
Stimson lost.
Mr.. Roosevelt took up the lead
ership laid down by Hughes when
the latter became a justice of the
United States Supreme Court. He
did 1t for the public good. He
would have been execrated as a
craven or a turncoat If he had
not gone into the fight. He did
his best. He deserves commend
alton for what he did.
This is a decidedly rational way o
cooking at the subject and is un
fair to all concerned

INTO the fight and did his duty as
citizen, just as he would have don
had he never been President.

LANDLORD Said
RENT WAS DUE

When Liza Daraga, a Porto Rican
woman, appeared at the police sta
tion this morning she at once waxed
eloquent in tale of cruelty, in
which an Iwilei landlord was the
central figure.
Rent day was fast approaching,
but according to the woman her
monthly stipend for room in a
tenement in that district did not
fall due until Sunday.
The owner Or representative for
the house evidently thought differ
emily, for he showed up at the
Daraga apartments this morning and
there soon followed shower OF
furniture and personal belongings
that caused large crowd of spec
tators to gather, believing that a
free distribution of household eff
fects was being made.
In an attempt to evict the woman
from the premises she claimed to
have received some very rough
handling. To prove that she had
not been treated In exactly lady
like manner the Porto Rican display
ed torn and tattered dress.
A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of the landlord.
