Praise For the sardine.

1t is encouraging in these days. when
everything nice Is condemned by scien-
tific faddists as nasty, to have the high
authority of the London Lancet in
support OF the popular theory that the
sardine is of great dietetic value. The
sardine is good. the Lancet tells us.
because. for one thing, 1t encourages
the consumption Of oil. which tends to
avoid many ills. and especially those
associated with wasting diseases and
gouty dispositions" This consumption
Of sardine oil, 1t adds. prevents the
overlooking Of the tissues with nitrog-
enous waste products. and digest
ible fat favors nutrition considerably.
The sardine supplies also an excellent
proportion (25 per cent? Of nitrogenous
material. and so It becomes a real and
economical food. In addition to this
the sardine has appetizing qualities,
and where appetite serves digestion

WILEY TELLS HOW
HE WAS HAMPERED
Also How Peoples Money Was
Thrown Away.

Washington, Aug. 17.--Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley laid bare to the house in
yestigating committee the obstacles
against which he said he had strug-
gsed to administer the pure food
laws. He also declared the peoples
money was squandered and the ad-
mlnistration of the law hampered by
the creation Of pure food inspec-
tion bureau" in which he was a help
less minority.
He asserted that Solicitor McCabe
and Associate Chemist Dunlap, the
two officials whom Wlley's support
ers claim are banded together %
onst the pure food champion, were
generally antagonistic to him" To
illustrate his OWL helplessness on the
board, Wiley told how on perhaps
100 occasions where he and Dunlap
agreed on chemical questions as
against McCabe, second vote would
be ordered, and the second time Dun.
lap would support McCabe, who is
not chemist.
He declared that the law gave his

product. He said that the food and

all decisions of the bureau of chem.

I'm about two.thirds OF the cases.

Mark Twain Heeded tn. vo,e,.


Mark Twain was quite at his best
as an after dinner speaker at the ban
guet given in his honor some years
ago by the members of the Authors
club. incidentally he told his amused
listeners the story of his first lapse
from the paths of honesty. He was
very young at the time. he explained,
and the day was an exceedingly hot
once AS he walked down the street Of
the village in which he was living he
saw cart loaded with melons of most
attractive appearance.

Twain went on, with humorous
twinkle in his eyes. that was tempt
ed and fell. grabbed the most like
ly looking melon of the lot and hur-
riedly made my way to the back OF
the woodshed. i gouged huge slice
out of it and bit it. No sooner had I
done so when something within me
convinced me that l had done wrong.
A voice seemed to say, Mark, get up
and take that melon right back to
where you got it from 1t was about
the greenest melon | had ever tasted.

replaced it and-took ripe one In its

1t was James Nv. who first created
an effective navy for Scotland, ex.
hausting all available timber for ship
building, so that he had to ask France
and Denmark for more, and of the
sixteen large and ten small ships he
owned his special pride was the
largest then existing. To build this
Dreadnought of her day all the woods
of Fife were laid waste. She cost
100000, an enormous value in those
times; had crew of 300 sailors, 100
gunners and 1000 marines, with more
great ordnance in her than the French
king ever had to the siege of any

work that is being done. The work of
the school itself is of such nature
that the boys and girls are having their
eyes opened to the great opportunities
of farm life. Elementary agriculture
of a practical nature is properly blend
ed with the other work of the school.
This year the testing of milk is the inn
portant feature This work has prac-
teal bearing on language and arithme-
tic as well as agriculture.
An Agricultural society has also been
organized and meetings are held regu-
larly. At these meetings various topics
of interest are discussed. Growing out
of this work last year was the District
Fair, at which members, including
the boys and girls of the school,
brought in the best they had raised on
the farms during the summer.

great American republic is the Oldest
brother of them all?
No other nation of consequence has
lived so many years under form of
government unbroken and unchanged.
Two great causes have changed the
political governments of the world since
the treaty of 1888. One has been the
Napoleonic wars that wrecked most of
the governments of Europe, and the
other has been the influence of this
government of liberty and the rights Of
the people And of the two the latter
has been the greater. For man, since
before he began to gather into groups,
has priced his freedom and been ready
and anxious to extend it.
France was the first Of the great ma
tions to feel the influence of the United
States and although the dose affected
her much most seriously than it did the
less mercurial northern people she took
it and during the past century has had
seven changes, the last being made
forty years ago. The German empire
was born after the French war, its
states were pulled apart by Napoleon
in 1915. And the Austrian Hungary
federation was born in 1867.
Holland, Belgium, Spain and Portu-
gal and Italy all suffered in the Napole-
onic wars and have had several changes
since, and Norway and Sweden have
but recently made radical changes,
while Russia, Turkey and Greece have
changed within recent years. England
completely reyolutionized her govern
ment in 1901 and has made minor
changes since. And there are a good
many students now who look forward
to even greater changes within few
years
Since the Stars and Stripes were
broken out on the Ranger in fact,
since the beginning Of the last century
India has passed from a series of
semi independent principalities and
kingdoms into the control of England,
China and Japan have seen radical
changes and all of South and Central
America has thrown off the Spanish
yoke and had multitudes of other
changes
Thus the United States is the oldest
of them all.

Privilege and Politics.

What stands in the way Of one-cent
letter postage? The Thanking privilege
and the unequal rates on second third
and fourth class matter 50 all the peo-
pie must suffer that a few might thrive.
That is the precise statement of the
case, and congress, that partakes Of
the privilege, viii not move a peg to
reform it,
Then we are encountered with the
question, why are people caring less
for political party than they used to?
The plain answer is that political party
is caring less for them They DO not
get deeply interested over politics, as
they did in the war and money problem
days. for the real issues now relate
simply TO everyday affairs that one
meets with on the street and in his
home on store on shop issues that con-
front him with the alternative whether
he is made for the government or the
government is made for him, whether
the postal seyice is run for privilege or
the people
When we get our politics eNtricated
from banquets, spiketails, golf, recep-
tions, spending money big salaries,
social eclat and brought down low
enough to rub against John Smith and
recognize mis- needs and aspirations,
then we will find politics regaining it's
interest and respect. and John Smith

his ticket, and not tin then.

Springfield Republican: Resumption
Of coinage of the half cent piece is be-
ing agitated in some quarters, the
principal argument advanced in its fav-
or being that it would save money for
buyers, especially the poor, who need
it most. In all cases now where the
half cent figures in the price Of an
article the dealer gets the benefit of
the odd half cent unless the customer
purchases two of the articles. There
are many things sold two for cent,
two for a nickel or two for a quarter,
of which some purchasers desire only
one The half cent piece would enable
them to pay exactly what they wanted
at its exact price. If the demand for
the half penny becomes general con
gress. no doubt, will give heed to it and
order a resumption of its coinage,

At the beginning of each new year
we notice announcements by numerous
retail merchants about like this, Be
ginning January LIST, we win sell for
cash only" 1t has deep significance
and reflects an underlying phase of our
commercial system that must be reyo-
utionized Our rcedit system, which
began as a necessary accommodation
for those in very moderate circum-
stances when the country was new
now extends into every artery of com
mercial life and is accepted and abused
to such an extent that the merchant,
business man, tradesman and laborer is
hampered in producing the cash, even
though he may have it coming. The
merchant realizes he must pay for his
goods monthly, and with ever increas-
ing expenses he must insist on the cash.
This may work a hardship on some, but
if he lives up to the terms in even a
general way he will have the cash to
pay for his goods promptly, which will
permit him to buy cheaper and incident
ly to sell cheaper. 1t will also enable
him to promptly pay the baker, and he
in turn the printer and the candle stick
maker. OF course all realize that the
time may never come when all business
may be conducted on a cash basis, but
there are many who abuse the credit
extended to them to the extent that
some merchants feel under the necessi-
ty of withdrawing it to all patrons.

THE express companies are evidently
commencing to see the handwriting on
the wall 1t is announced they have
reached an agreement to reduce one
class of exhorbitant rates, by here
after making a single charge where a
consignment is carried by two or more
companies, whereas heretofore each
company has demanded it's full com
pensation. This will help some, but
what the people want is general re.
vision Of express rates, that will cut
off excessive charges Of every kind.
