CHANGES CONTEMPLATED.
Dayton Expects to Be Center of c., n.
D. System.

Dayton.-By the requirement of 20
acres of land the c., H. & D. railroad
has revived rumors of extensive i'm
provements in Dayton and vicinity,
which, it is reported, will become the
central point Of the entire system.
There is no doubt that the company
is contemplating Improvements be-
tween this city and Tippecanoe City.
1t is generally believed that the course
of the road through Parsons and John
sons Station will be changed, thus
obviating dangerous bend. Several
disastrous wrecks have occurred on
this portion of the road.
Double tracking is also possible by
the acquisition of the acreage. Across
the river between the bridge and the
corporate limits of North Dayton,
along the east side of the tracks, it is
expected the company will build its
new shops, If they are brought to this
city. While removal OF both the
Lima and Ivorydale shops has been
denied, the report will not down and it
is confidently expected that Dayton is
to be made the central point of the
line.

PNEUMATIC MAIL TUBE.
Queen City Hopes to Dispense With
Wagons Very Soon.

incinnati.-Within six months, 1t Is
believed, this city will have pneumatic
mail tube service as the result of the
passage of bill authorizing the Inn
provement.
The measure provides that the tube
company shall at its own expense in
stall a 30-inch tube underground be-
tween the Cincinnati postoffice and the
station. The government will be al
lowed the free use of the tube for six
month, as test, and If satisfactory, a
rental of $4,000 mile for the device
will be charged annually. The dis
tance is about three-fourths of mile.
Washington.-Th presidents eyes
twinkled when the Goebel-Dick bill aal-
thorizing the postmaster general to ad-
vertise for bids installing 30-inch
pneumatic tube service in Cincinnati
was placed ON the table for him to
sign. He attached his signature with
evident pleasure, for, while he Is presl-
dent of all the United States, he all
ways likes to do something for HIS
home town.

Give a Woman a Chance.

Compulsory military service for
men, urges a German female advocate
of women's right, should be Offset by
compulsory domestic service for wom-
en-. On the theory that life in bar
rack and drill in the manual of arms
have benefited German manhood, she
asks, why will not life in the kitchen
and exercise in the use Of pots and
pans similarly raise German woman
hood?
II Germany ever organizes stand
ing amy of cooks it may force all
Europe to follow its lead. Culinary
conscription is severe measure, but
when enforced in Germany other ma
tions might be expected to adopt 1t.
There would be more reason in doing
SO than in following Germany's lead
in militarism. There is more real
need of cooks the world over than of
soldiers. 1t is possible to get along
without fighting. but not without eat
ing.

Doings of the
Buckeye SoIons
Capitol Happenings Chronicled by
Special Correspondents.
Nichols Is Sworn In.

Hugh l.. Nichols, in his first act as
lieutenant governor, urged the senate
majority to get down to business by
enacting laws pledged in the Demo
cratic platform. His induction was
simple. Arrangements were made by
Senators Reynolds, Yount, Deaton OF
Champaign and Crawford, special
committee. Nichols was escorted to
the senate presidents chair on the
arm of Senator Deaton. Supreme
Court Judge Maurice Donahue, admin
istered the oath of office. President
Pro TEN. Green, in the chair, pre-
sented Nichols, calling attention to its
being the second time he had intro
duced new lieutenant governor.
Nichols, in his inaugural, promised
impartiality in rulings as presiding
officer. He found comfort in benefi-
cent legislation in the first half of the
session, particularly in the nonparti-
san judicial elections and ratification
of the income tax amendment to the
federal constitution. He then said:
And yet IL the just expectations OF
the people are to be fairly realized
much remains to be done. The time
Is short and it behooves us to busy
ourselves in enacting into law the
sovereign will of the people as de-
clared only last November The ap-
prehension of your constituents is, l
believe, not that your sins will be
those of commission, but rather of
omission. 1t is just as reprehensible
to leave undone the things that ought
to be done as to do the things that
ought not to be done. The public is
an exacting mistress"

School Book Hearing Soon.

Senator Yount's bill, providing for
state uniformity of school textbooks,
will be argued before the senate COM
mittee on common schools Tuesday
evening. His bill is a substitute for
the county uniform act, which was de-
feated before it was put to vote.
Yount anticipates that his substitute
will arouse bitter opposition from
school book companies. If the second
measure should be beaten Yount has
a bill up his sleeve providing for the
Buckeye state manufacturing its owA
books.

Work for Tax Boards.

The Cuyahoga county board of
equalization has been reconvened by
the state tax commission under au-
thority of the Dore law, just signed
by Governor Harmon. 1t is given un-
til April to complete the work of
revising the tax duplicates in the
county. Other boards ordered back to
duty by the state commissioner must
finish work March 25, the Cuyahoga
board being given extra time because
of the complicated condition in viii
lagos around Cleveland. Equalization
boards also have been summoned in
Gallia, Geauga, Ashtabula and Adams
counties. In some of the counties,
valuations have been fixed too low,
but in Cuyahoga the complaint is only
against inequalities in some instances.
Boards of review, sitting as boards of
equalization, also have been ordered
to reconvene in Niles, Warren, Paines-
vile, Kenton, Marion, Salem, East
Liverpool and Ashtabula. They have
been directed to complete work left
undone when compelled to cease work
under the old statute. They are al
lowed until April 1. Other city and
county boards also will be ordered to
reconvene. Members of the boards
and their employees will receive the
same compensation as during their. for
mer service. Employees also will be
paid the old rates, but all will be linn
tied to the time fixed by the tax COM
mission. The last batch of county
auditors was heard March 6 on
farm lands. Within few days, the
commission will begin it's considera-
ton of city real estate values. Prop
erty of public service corporation
not held for the purposes for which
that corporation is operated, is to be
listed separately for taxation and not
to be included in the lump valuation
of the property of the utility. This is
the ruling Attorney General Hogan
handed down. The opinion was in re-
sponse to an inquiry from the tax
commission, and arose from the fact
that many public utilities have their
surplus funds invested in bonds, real
estate and other property, which is
not necessary to the operation of the
company. The attorney general rules
that such property shall be listed and
taxed as private property, as if held
by any individual.

pomerene,s Farewell to soIons.

AS Lieut.. Gov. Pomerene dropped
his gavel on the afternoon of March
2 and declared the senate ad-
journed, his last official act was COM
plete. At the forenoon session res
olutions were introduced by Senator
Cetone expressing qualification at the
uniform courtesy and fairness of the
rulings of Mr.. Pomerene as president
of the upper branch. Republican and
Democrat alike expressed sorrow at
losing the lieutenant governor, and at
the same time congratulated the SEN
ator-elect upon attaining the position
he is about to assume. Senator Dea-
ton. Champaign, took occasion to COM
ment upon the freedom from scandal
of the election of Senators Burton
and Pomerene.
Pomerene addressed the house In
speakers dias by Representatives
Irwin, Stambaugh and Riddle, a COM
mittee appointed by the chair. There
was general applause when he de-
clared the watchword of keeping faith
with the people.
Pomerent said: "I have been here in
Columbus associated with you in legis-
lative work for very short time, but
/ feel as if / were leaving old friends
tried and true. Something has been
said by the speaker of my elevation
to another position. That work is
very important, but, it is no more i'm
portant than the work which you have
been commissioned to perform. In
fact, If were to decide the question.
l would say that the work of the gen.
eral assembly of the state of Ohio is
the more important of the two, be-
cause the effect of your work comes
more nearly home to the people.
often learn of men who have been
elected to high offices and of their re-
tirement when the finger of scorn is
pointed toward them. It would be
vastly better that man would never
be called to the public service than
to be called and weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting"

JAG Cure, Law Weakened.

The house passed the Lorenz bills
placing interurban railroads under the
steam railroad laws so far as the juris-
diction of justice courts and fencing
and cattle guard laws are concerned;
also the Deaton senate bill, providing
for retrial in common pleas court
when probate court sentence for
contributing to the delinquency of a
child is reversed by a higher court.
What state hospital attaches call the
jag cure law, namely, the voluntary
commitment act, was made more lax
by passage of the Brewer bill. 1t
leaves to the discretion of the super
intendent the number of voluntary pa
tients, now limited to five, to be cared
for at one time in any state hospital
for the insane.

HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctors Talk on Food.

find they have been in error they are

Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
while in Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of the ruddiest, healthi-
est little boys l ever saw, ate my
first dish of Grape-Nuts food for sup
per with my little grandsons.
81 became exceedingly fond of it
and have eaten package of 1t every
week since, and find 1t delicious, re-
freshing and Strengthening food, leav-
ing no Ill effects whatever, causing no
eructations with which I was for
merly much troubled), no sense of
fullness. nausea. nor distress&of stom-
ach in any way.
There is no other food that agrees
with me so well. or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does.

than I have been for 10 years, and
am no longer troubled with nausea

House to Amend Rules.

The house rules of the legislature
will be amended to prevent species of
Cannonism which has developed in re-
cent years. All committees will be
required to report any action taken on
a bill. 1t will permit the house to
decide for itself when a committee
indefinitely postpones, tables or other
wise shelves a bill. Under present
rules it is necessary to take the bill
away from the committee and cour-
tesy always helps the committee. The
Cannonism cry was raised when Rep
resentative Hillenkamp charged the
banking committee with taking snap
judgment on his bill for guarantee of
bank deposits.

choked and the mother, in her eager
ness to extract the coin, only pushed
it more firmly into the larynx. The

seized her by the feet, swinging her
back and forth until the coin was
dislodged. He told his amazed mother
that he learned how at school"
