licenses were considered by the excise
board today, and out Of 514 barrooms

Test Made Of Twenty.
The Antj-Saloon League has selected
twenty applications for license against
which are no adverse reports, and they
will be held up until the attorney for

clubs are included in this list.

REBUKED BY JUSTICE
ATTORNEY APOLOGIES
Unusual Incident in Session of
the United States Supreme
Court.

A rebuke administered by Justice White
to Alexander S. Bacon an attorney OF
New York, enlivened the proceedings in
the United States Supreme Court yester-
day afternoon.
The attorney was arguing an appeal
from a decision of the courts of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. contending that they
had erred in refusing to compel the off,
Gals of the War Department to produce In
court the records in the case of Second
Lieut. Winslow Hart Reeves. Artillery
Corps, and to reinstate him In the army.
Although the physical condition of Lieut.
Reeves was such as to entitle him to be
placed on the retired LIST of the army at
three-quarters pay, it was held by the
attorney. he was instead dismissed from
the army with only one years pay.
In this day of imperialism, it seems to
be the feeling, even among judges, that
the President Of the United States can do
anything, Mr.. Bacon said. The time
was when an officer would spurn the idea
of promOt on through his wifes inf1u-
ence. Things have changed now. To be
a great solder you must bow to the scep-
ter and be lickspittle.'
Justice White was quick to interrupt the
attorney. He pronounced the remarks as
PERSONS on coordinate branch of the
government, not contained in the records
before the court. Mr.. Bacon apoiosized
quickly, withdrew the remarks and closed
by say .ng that he thought the justices of
the court would find some surprises in
their review of the case.
Argument for Cherokee Babies.
Wade Ellis erstwhile trust buster Of
the Department Of Justice, made an argu-
ment before the court yesterday in behalf
of $500 Cherokee babies. Arguing in be-
half of the government, he upheld the
constitutionality of recent statutes which
allow the $500 Indian babies born be
tween september /, 1852 and 1888 ID
share with the Cherokees | wing at tie
earlier date in the allotment of ln0io4l
lands in Oklahoma.
Calhoun Plantation in Dispute.
Attorneys for rival claimants for the
Calhoun plantation in Greenwood county,
s. c., which has belonged to the family
of which John c. Calhoun was a men,
Der, argued the contentious before the
United States Supreme Court yesterday.
The difficulty in determining the rights OF
ownership has arisen chiefly because the
court records were destroyed by fire.

In Case Of Emergency.

"At present, in case Of hostile emergency,
the requirements Of the gun factory could
not be met, either by any foundries

turers on the outside, and the government
would be seriously embarrassed by not
having suitable facilities for getting out

to make an appropriation for the entire
amount for q new foundry at the present
time as 1t would require about two years
to build and properly equip It; therefore a
work would suffice for the present.

Superior to the Mule.

The greatest hybrid that the world
has ever known is the mule. This is
a cross between the horse and the ass.
The resultant mule was, however, oar
rem, and the possibility OF developing
q more perfect type through selection
did not exist. The mule had to be
taken as he was and made the most Of.
At that ne has borne the brunt OF corn

tons cannon into the ever-advancing
frontier. He has surpassed both the
horse and the ass that bred him in
many ways. The zebra is evidently a
creature superior in every way to the
mule, and it is believed, with selection
and scientific breeding, it will take a
place in the world that will tend to re-
tire the latter, and, possibly, the horse,
from the field of action.

Fowls require Salt.

Fowls require salt in their ration in
order to thrive best, the same as do
all other animals. The mineral ele-
ments in the salt are desired by the
fowls, and their systems crave them.
But only a little salt is needed-not
more thai a handful a week to the av-
erage-sized farm flock. Toe much may
be more harmful than too little. And
since fowls often do not know VIII All
they have had enough of it. we dare
not place the salt before tnem, and
let them eat all they want, as car be
done with most other farm animals.
So the best way is to mix a handful
occasionally with the soft food or
mash. This seasons the food and gives
it a palatable taste, as well as proving
a benefit to the fowls.-Agricultur Il

Tsay Baby's Pitiful Case.

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off, leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top OF her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but ali
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin o appeared. We also
gave baby four drops OF the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of a fat little baby and AL is

cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura ONT

Vienna on his leisurely return TO China.
AS usual, he asked a lot of questions

est he shows in affairs and his wide in
formation concerning people and things
outside his own realm. He found, moth
ing in the Emperor's manner or CONVEX
sation to betray the infirmities of age.
Minister VT says that when he gets
back to China he will write a book about
his American experiences, a book that
will contain many things, he says, serv-
iceable to his countrymen. China is
fast becoming able, in his view, to do
everything for herself, and has fairly en-
tered upon a great era OF self-develop-
ment and progress.

value of Hunnus i'm soil.

The value Of humus in the soil is
not only that it supplies an element of
plant food, but that it absorbs mois-
ture and is an obstacle to evaporation.
says the Rural Californian. 1t also
prevents soil erosion and waste. The
most successful farmer is the one who
takes the most pains to utilize every
element of his farm products that con-
tributes humus to the soil. This is
especially important in localities where
the surface is uneven or broken, and
the earth is not firm, or, in other
words, is easily eroded by rainfall.
