THAT TASTELESS KISS.

The greatest surprise to a girl WHO

ON the beauty prize the prettiest girl

FAT PEOPLE WARNED;
BEWARE THYROID
New York, Nov. .8.-"The, use
of thyroid in obesity,is not only
accompanied by

!! I'D most cases an il
,yeS logical form of
Mn treatment"
gsMyo This is, the gist
SS of an editorial
>S>- warning from the
NJ Journal of the
American Medical association
against the. use of a drug now
used almost universally in anti
fat nostrums.: -,
The Journal declares that
thyroid is much, more effective as
a. flesh reducer than any of the
older drugs used for that purpose,
but that it is dangerous to the
general health of the patient, SO
dangerous, in fact, that in Ger
many the sale. of the drug has
been prohibited. It is said that
the action of the German authori-
ties was due to.the complaint of
certain high born ladies who had
tried the drug and had suffered
from-it.
The editorial is based on re-
port from Newport to the effect
that certain members of the Four
Hundred have been broken in
health by the use of thyroid.

nearly % per cent more than last year
and nearly II per cent more than the
average for the last five years.
May Unfavorable Month.
"May was unfavorable for winter
wheat, but nevertheless with the in
creased acreage there probably will
be between three and four per cent
more winter wheat produced than last
year and between six and seven per
cent more than for the average Of the
last five years. Combining both spring
and winter wheat, the indications
point to a slightly larger yield per
acre than was produced last year and
about the same yield per acre as dur
ing the last five years. This would
make a total production OF all wheat
of 90 per cent more than last year
and 1912 per cent more than the aver
age for the last five years.
Dat Area Lower.
"The acreage Of oats was not quite
SO large as it was last year, but the
one-tenth OF one per cent reduction is
substantially immaterial The crop
prospects are not so promising as
year ago. Last years production was
the largest ever recorded. The con-
dition of the crop indicates yield
per acre of PIT bushels as compared
with 31.9 last year and % for the ay-
erage Of the last five years. This
would make a total production of
about 1873 less than last year, but As
per cent more than the average OF
the last five years.
THE condition of all crops in the
Pacific northwest, particularly in
Washington and Oregon, is notably
fine. II any one feature of the month
covered by the report stands out
above another, it was the drought
which prevailed during May practical
" throughout the country. 1t affected
materially not only the condition OF
winter wheat, but also the hay crop,
which is one of the greatest crops OF
the country. That drought now, how
ever, has been largely relieved IN all

VOLCANO IN ACTION
COLIMA POURS LAVA UPON MANY
MEXICAN TOWNS AS RE-
SUIT OF QUAKE.
LOSS OF LIFE is ENORMOUS
Seven Hundred Dead Are Reported at
San Andres, the Largest City De-
stroyed, and Scores Are Believed to
Be Buried In Ruins.

Mexico City.-The volcano Colima
is belching forth fire and lava and
the towns of San Andres, Tonila,
Tonillita, Zapotiltic, San Gabriel and
Tuxpan are overwhelmed. Each has
a population of from 800 to 5000 peo-
pie.
The number of dead is unknown,
but messages brought on a special
train from San Andres, the largest
town destroyed, reports 700 known
dead and many hundred more buried.
From coast to coast Mexico is de-
vastated by the earthquake and to
add to the terror of the inhabitants
the volcanoes Colima and Popocata-
petl are now in full eruption, great
cones OF smoke lowering over the
craters and lava pouring down their
sides into the cities and towns To-
Gated there.
The death list placed eraly at Lass,
is growing and word is yet to be re-
ceived from the isthmus of Tehuante-
pee, which was shaken from end to
end.
The famous floating gardens of the
Montezumas, located on an island In
Lake Xochimilso are no more. Gar
dens, homes, inhabitants, island and
all are sunken beneath the surface OF
the lake. How many victims were
claimed by the earthquake here no
one can say, but comparatively few
If any of the natives are believed to
have escaped.
The inhabitants of this island are
direct descendants of the Aztecs and
of pure, unmixed blood. They raised
and sold nearly all the flowers and
vegetables for the markets of Mexico
City. Now they and their homes and
their products are no more.
One hundred and fifty persons were
injured in Guadalajara, but no one
was killed.
The list of casualties is pouring into
Mexico City At Tacuba seven are
dead and 10 injured; Tacabaya three
dead, the number of injured being I'M
known; San Angle, two dead and
seven injured from falling walls;
Pinon, two dead and three injured.
Nearly all Of these places are in
the immediate vicinity of the capitol.
The Port of Manzanillo, State OF
Colima, that cost $14 100000 to build
is badly damaged. Twenty-Five per-
sons were killed. Acapulco also suf'
fered greatly. but as yet there are no

TAFT Is ATTACKED
UNDERWOOD REPORT ON WOOL
TARIFF REVISION BILL.
Minority Members of Ways and Means
Committee Declare Measure Cold
BIooded.

Washington.-The long expected
wool tariff revision bill was presented
to the house by Chairman Underwood
of the ways and means committee.
The long report accompanying it at
tacks President Taft and the tariff
board.
quoting President Taft's addresses
after the passage of the Payne-Aldrich
bill, in which he declared that "the
wooden schedule is indefensible and
l propose to say So" the report says:
Had the president made these pub
lie admissions earlier, while the tariff
of 1909 was under consideration, by
congress, his declarations would have
been of real service to the people and
would have enabled them to protest
against the betrayal of the public wei
fare to private greed.
The report deals at some length
with the attitude of the adm1n1stra-
ton in not communicating to congress
data on the steel trust" and other in
dustries now being investigated, and
the failure of the tariff board to COM
municate data on the wooden in
dustry.
"The position Of the tariff board ap-
pears to be-" says the report, that
they, in conference with and under
the sole control of the president. shall
be the sole judges as to what part or
the data they collect may be likely to
be of service for purposes Of legisla-
ton; and this situation must be con
sidered with reference to the view
point of the president concerning tar
if legislation.
"Tt is, therefore,, not impossible that
there may be some such delay in the
communication to the congress OF sta
tistical information collected by the
tariff board concerning wool and wool
en- goods as there has been in com
municating to congress or making pub
lie the data by the bureau of corpora
tons concerning Investigations OF the
steel and other industries"
The report maintains that any
further delay in the revision OF the
wool and wooden schedule would be
Objectionable to the public.
A minority report is signed by
Messrs. Payne, Dalzell, Needham and
Longworth. For purely political rea-
sons" it says, this cold-blooded
measure is brought forward. II 1t
could become law it would slaughter
sheep as in 1894 and close the mills
much more universally"

GATES is DISPUTED
GARY DENIES THAT THREATS LED
TO MERGER.
Says RooseVeIt's Acquiescence in Coal
Deal Was Act of Constructive
Craftsmanship.

Washington.-Elbert H. Gary, ex'
ecutive head of the United States
Steel corporation, told the house
investigating committee a version OF
the formation of that enterprise which
contradicted testimony of John w.
Gates that the threats of Andrew Car.
negie to build rival railroads and tube
works had induced ]. Pierpont Morgan
to institute negotiations eliminating
in the gigantic steel combination.
Such matters as | learned were
testified to by Mr.. Gates before this
committee" Mr.. Gary said, after a de
tailed statement of the formation of
the steel combination, never were
spoken of in the deliberations over the
deal do not remember that Mr.. Nor
gan ever mentioned these matters to
me-"
Mr.. Gary said that Mr.. Gates had
nothing to do with questions regarding
the charter and form of organization
of the steel corporation.
Mr.. Gary, in the course of his testi-
mony, declared that If former Presi-
dent Roosevelt had not approved OF
the absorption of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company by the United
States Steel corporation he, Gary.
never would have voted 10 consum-
mate that deal.
Mr.. Gary, cross-eXamined by Mr.. Lit
Teton of New York, elaborated his
views as to government supervision OF
corporations and pleaded for greater
cooperation between government Of
ticials and the directing forces OF big
business combinations. Mr.. Gary in
sisted that the government was just
as likely to go too far in one direction
as the corporations in another.
Mr.. Gary denied charges, attributed
to Senator Oliver of Pennsylvania,
that the Steel corporation was trying
to gain control over Ohio river trans
portation lines so as to cut out wa
ter competition in the shipment OF
coal
These charges were set forth by
Robert c. Hall, former president of the
Pittsburg Stock exchange. another
witness.
Returning to the absorption of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company, Mr..
Littleton asked lust when" that trans
action relieved the financial situation.
Just as soon as we sent back word
from Washington that President
Roosevelt would allow the deal to be
made" Mr.. Gary said. Il don't know
what the committee thinks about it,
but myself believe that the action OF
the president in this connection was
| piece of real constructive statesman
ship"
Mr.. Gary again declared in the
course Of further questioning that
President Roosevelt and Secretary OF
State Root not only sanctioned the abb
sorption of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company by the Steel corporation,
but held it to be necessary to avert
widespread financial disaster.
Mr.. Gary said anew that financial
conditions in 1907 were such that
something had to be done to prevent a
panic. The conference at the White
House, he declared. was the final step
in the campaign of prevention, and he
added that If the administration had
declined to permit the combination of
the two big steel properties he would
have opposed it in the Steel corpora
ton.

CARRIE NATION DIES

MIND A BLANK FOR MONTHS
Prohibition Worker, Succumbs to
Paresis in Sanitarium at Leaven-

Leavenworth, Kan.-Mrs. Carrie e.
Nation of Ratchet fame, who devoted
her life to a fight on the sale of liquor
and cigarettes, died in the Evergreen
sanitarium here of paresis, aged six
ty-six years. She had been suffering
from a nervous breakdown since jan
uary last.
Although it has been reported sew
eral times since she came here that
she was dead, her death was not ex-
pected until several days ago.
Mrs. Nation in the sanitarium was
incapable of even managing her own
business affairs, all trace of the bold
prohibition worker had disappeared
when her iron constitution began to
fail, and she spent the last five months
of her life in seclusion, no one but
relatives and hospital attendants be-
ing allowed to see her. When told
several days ago that she would die,
DR.. A. l.. Suwalsky and nurse were
with her when death came.
Mrs. Nations entry into fame was
made at Wichita, Kan, several years
ago, when she demolished a saloon
with a Ratchet. Later she repeated
the performance on several other Kan
sas towns. Kansas, however, was too
small for her proclivities and she car
ried her sensational fight against the
saloons into some of the larger cities
of this country.

WAY TO SUCCESS.

The man who undertakes to accom-
plish too many things at the same
time generally pays high toll in the
end. He may succeed for while, but
he does so at fearful risks and with
out properly reckoning the cost to
himself. He Is the exception, though,
rather than the rule and often makes
good" at the expense of his physical
and mental well being, says the
Charleston News and Courier. Giants
among men are rarities even in this
day of surprising developments and
record achievements, and as rule
the man who follows one line of work
with close attention and conscientious
regard will lay by for himself greater
success and more enduring results
than he who dabbles in any undertak-
ing that may come his way. 1t Is not
an easy thing to shut ourselves away
from tempting influences and condi-
tions that may appeal to us, but hay-
ing once fitted ourselves to do GER
tain work, and having expended time
and energy in It's accomplishment, it
1t only natural to suppose that we can
obtain more certain results by devel-
oping it to the best of our ability.
Sometimes the way is hard; long
hours Of application are necessary,
but often when we least expect 1t the
clouds begin to lift and we see the
realization of the promises for which
we have labored
