SAYS COURTSHIP A SCIENCE
ANOTHER OF THOSE CHICAGO
PROFESSORS HEARD FROM.
FavOrs Instructions in Hugging and
kissing, and Not Leaving Those
Pastimes to Chance.

Kissing according to scientific
rules and hugging according to ace
demic theory will be part of school
courses hereafter if Professor R. E.
Blount of Waller high school, Chi
cago, is able to launch the plan he
proposed at the child welfare ex-
hibit.
81 believe" sal Prof. Blount,
that there should be proper course
Of instruction preparing children for
married life. This instruction should
begin in infancy and continue
through life and youth.
"Courtship should not be left to
chance and the unguided impulses
of youth, nor is the guardians duty
done when he has impressed the i'm
portance of proprieties on his
charges. To this negative instruc-
ton must be added positive counsel
and training.
The European method of chape-
roning is prohibitive of true court
ship. The very common practice in
America of allowing engaged couples
almost unlimited facilities for pri-
vate meetings without much regard
to time and place without any in
struction that would prepare them
for making good use of such privi-
lege is not a good one.
"Courtship ought to be studied
carefully by those entrusted with the
training of young people to the end
that it may lead up to a beautiful
married life.
"Sweethearts need to be alone to-
gether. Their love grows with ex-
preston. They ought to have oppor-
tunity for their endearments. But
they should be carefully taught the
difference between affection and pas
sion.
"Courtship is too important a fac
tor in life to be dwarfed by undue
espionage. Young people must be
prepared for it by proper training,
and then only after adequate instruc-
ton should they be provided the OPP
portunity for private meeting"

Sol Rosenblatt, a Chicago lawyer,
has put the Mutual Life Insurance
Co. to an expense of 100000 by hav-
ing himself nominated for a member
of the board of trust All he had to
do was to get his nomination papers
signed by one hundred policy hold
ers. His success in this will make
it necessary to send ballots contain
ing the administration ticket and the
opposition ticket to all the 100000
policy holders throughout the world .
Mr.. Rosenblatt's contest is the
first the Mutual has had since that
of the international policy holders
committee in 1909. The expense
for that contest was estimated as
high as 100000.

BREAD CAME BACK BUTTERED.
Man Who Lent Stranger Four
Bucks Gets Check for $1,000.

About a year ago Fred T. Red
mond, a resident of North Platte,
Neb., was approached by a man who
was total stranger to him and who
asked him for the loan of four bucks,
says the Boston Post.
The stranger explained that he was
dead broke, but he figured that if he
could raise four simoleons he could
purchase a railroad ticket to a point
where work awaited him and would
have 50 left, which if invested Judi
ciously would enable him to recoup
his lost fortune.
Redmond laughed mirthfully in
the strangers face at first and told
him he was not in the habit of lend
ing coin to every Thomas, Richard
and Harry that came along, especial
ly unless the loan was secured by
first mortgage or otherwise.
The stranger pleaded so hard,
however, and in such a touching way
that Redmond at last slipped him the
81, wished him good luck and told
the bookkeeper to charge it to profit
and loss.
The other day Redmond received a
certified check from the stranger
for $1,004-the 81 being the origi-
nal loan and the $1,000 the interest
which the borrower had figured on
the same.
After Redmond was resuscitated
he pinched himself black and blue
to find out if he had been dreaming
then he got the check cashed.

SPOKE TO VETERANS
AROUSED ENTHUSIASM ON ami
VERSARY OF JEFF DAVIS.
Presented Aged Negro as Only Liv-
ing Person Who Knows Where
Seal of COnfederacy Is.

Seal of COnfederaCy Is.
Observation-Disclosures Jos. W.
Bailey of Texas, addressing a gath
ering of confederate veterans to-
night, declared that if the two races
are to live in peace in this country
it must be with the black in constant
recognition of its inferiority.
Speaking of Jefferson Davis, in OBJ
servance of whose birthday the gath
ering was held, Senator Bailey said
he was less responsible for the con-
fict between the states than any 9TH
er man, and was the last man in all
the south to abandon the hope of a
reconciliation.
''The truth of history was with
the confident people" said the sena-
tor "The fathers would never have
formed this union if they had not be-
lieved that it could be dissolved for
cause. If the southern people be-
lieved they could not remain in the
union with honor and safety they
had a right to secede."
There was applause when Senator
Bailey presented an aged negro,
James A. Jones, who had served as
Mr.. Davis body servant. He is the
only man living" said Senator Bal
ley, ''who who knows where the seal
E the confederate states is, and he
won't tell"
Many shook hands with the old
negro, who had Jefferson Davis cane
with him.

Has Not Stolen a Thing From a DOz-
en- Residences He Entered.
A burglar with a peculiar crotchet
in his brain has been doing stunts
recently in Jersey City. He has brok-
en- into and ransacked a dozen resi-
ences, but has carried away moth
ing He has passed by money and
jewelry and silver plate, and even
has not bothered the bottled beer.
His speciality seems to be to gather
up the silverware and examine it,.
In each instance of the series of bur-
glaries attributed to him the silver
has been piled on the dining room
table, but NO piece has been missing.
Maybe the fellow is only curious to
examine the ballmarks on the plate
used by the swell people of Jersey
City; and then maybe he is gather
ing material for q magazine article
to appear under the title, "Pinch

When a burglar neglects to steal it
is difficult to guess his purpose in en-
tering houses and risking his life
and liberty.

President Taft hesitated not a mo-

eliminated in Wisconsin. Out at
Waterloo they planned to invite Paul
inc for the dairy show. In WiscOn-

Milwaukee in September, made fer
vent appeal that Pauline be allowed

ACID FOR INksTAINs.

A woman had the misfortune of
dropping a penful of ink on her
desk, and not discovering it until it
had penetrated into the wood.
She thought of using the ink
eradicator, but feared to harm the
wood by using it, but at last through
some good fortune she struck on the
idea of making a solution of few
drops of nitric acid in teaspoOnful
of water. She took a feather and
touched the spots, quickly wiping
off with a wet cloth. This was re-
peated till all the ink stain disap-
peared. She then frightened the
spot with a bit of furniture oil, and
no one would ever be able to tell
that an ink splotch had been on that
desk top.
This idea can be put to good use
on no matter what kind of vanished
wood the ink stain might be.

NOW GET CHEESE FROM BEANS
Vegetable MIX and Butter Are Beeom-
ing Popular IN china--cow to Be
a Back Number

We were taught at school, OF on
the farm, that the three necessary
steps in the production Of butter and
cheese we're first, the COW, second,
the cows milk, and third, the manu-
facture of butter and cheese and
other dairy products from the cows
milk. Today the modest COW is be-
ing eliminated and a little Soya bean
is taking the cows place. Milk is
obtained from the beans by crushing
them. From the bean milk cheese
and butter are being made, also con-
densed milk, milk -four and form
of casein which is said to contain es-
sential elements Of food.
Before the Soya beans are crushed
they are soaked in cold water. Mace
ration results'in the production of a
thick, milky liquid, which can be
filtered and drunk fresh or used for
making butter and cheese, just as in
the case of cows milk.
Vegetable milk, butter and cheese
are becoming popular in many parts
of China, India and Japan, where
the cultivation of the Soya bean is
being encouraged. Beans cost less
than cows.

SERIOUS TRIALS OF RICHES
Illustrated by Suicide Of Farmer Who
Feared His Barns Wouldn't
Hold Crops.

Prosperity brings its sorrows as
well as its blessings. Many a rich
man feels the weight Of his gold and
longs for relief from the response
bilities of fortune. But perhaps the
quecrest form of tragedy caused by
abundance that has ever been report
ed is the suicide at Lancaster, Pa,
of a farmer who had become melan-
choly through the fear that his barns
would not prove large enough to
hold his bumper tobacco crop. One
can easily conceive a tiller of the soil
worrying about empty lofts and
cribs IL is understandable when a
farmer frets about the drought or
the rain. Those are circumstances
that carry their own explanation. Or
it might be that a mans nerves
would be upset by worrying over the
lack Of hands to harvest the bounti-
full crop. But this man had moth
ing to vex him but sheer good for
tune. What if he lost a little of his
tobacco for lack of storage room
What if he would have to sell some
of it to his neighbors at a lower rate
than he expected to get later? The
chances are that back of this act of
self-destruction was the spirit Of the
miser, dreading any loss of possible
gain. Truly, life is full of troubles
when the blessings Of Providence
lead to tragedy.
