BRANDS REPORT
UTTERLY ABSURD
Roosevelt las Not Declared for
Taft in 1912.

New York, Dec. 29.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt has not declared for
the denomination of President Taft by
the Republican party in 1912. Colonel
Roosevelt made this fact most EN-
phatic at his Office here.
"All of this talk about me support
ing Mr.. Taft in 1912 is utterly absurd
Mr.. Roosevelt said. There has been
nothing like that discussed by me with
any one at any time.
"And so far as the statements are
concerned that Collector Loeb has be-
come a Taft dispenser of patronage
in New York in order to secure the
state delegation for the presidents re-
nomination in 1912, know nothing
more of the matter than what have
read in the newspapers. So far as
know there Is nothing in it." i
The statement followed the publica-
ton of a dispatch from Washington
setting forth that Collector Loeb of
New York had been appointed helms
man of the Taft political fortunes as
regards 1912, that Colonel Roosevelt
had made overtures of peace with Mr..
Taft and that these overtures had been
welcomed at the White House.
The Washington dispatch laid con,
siderable emphasis on the statement
that Colonel Roosevelt had promised
President Taft that he would in no
way, shape or form permit his own
name to be used in connection with
1912. The story appeared to the colo,
mel as having been inspired in the
White House, hence the promptness
and terseness of his denial.

LEADS IN YIELD OF WHEAT
Minnesota Produces More Than Any
Other State,

Minnesota Produces More Than Any
Other State.
Minnesota again takes rank by big
lead as the greatest wheat producing
state of the country and by a statistical
coincidence the most remarkable that
the department of agriculture, whose
annual statistical reports just out, has
ever found, is shown to have raised
this year 94,Os0,00O bushels, exactly
the number given in the estimate of
the department for 1909.
It is between the prominence of
Minnesota and Kansas as wheat. pro-
ducers and the great rivalry of the
two states that the principal interest
lies.
Last year Minnesota, with a produc-
ton of 94,OsO,O0O bushels, was 9,00O.-
bushels ahead Of Kansas, which
raised S5,47S,0OO bushels This year,
with 94,0SO,0OO bushels for Minnesota,
Kansas shows up with 61,060,000 bu.
shells, Minnesota thus running ahead
by 3O,000,000 bushels.

hospital at least dozen more are
suffering from minor injuries.
The fire was replete with awesome
features, endangered persons aroused
from sleep jumping from windows or
balconies to be injured on the walks

were thrown from windows to the
arms of rescuers beneath, several
lives being saved in this manner.
Improvised blanket ropes were hung

Some, maddened by the intense heat
behind them, jumped thirty feet to the
icy ground below and crawled away
with broken limbs, thankful only to
escape from the demon behind.

Safe Food forthe Little Ones

The delight of children is pastry, cookies, cakes, doughnuts, and other dsinties, in many of which a cooking fat is used. Lard Is risky; it is simply hog fat, sometimes impure, often indi- gestible To use butter is expensive and often impracticable. However, Cotto-- lene-the pure vegetable-oil cooking fat can be used in every way the same as butter or lard; it makes light, digcstible, healthful food, and at less expense, too, one-third less being required than of either butter or lard. If you value the health of your children, shorten their food with Cottolene.

That the statements recently made bH Crane of Chicago in regard to con- ditions in undergraduate college life, with particular mention of drinking at Harvard, and similar allusions to Yale, Princeton and other institutions, are absurdly false is the opinion of those closest to Yale students. Dean Frederick $. Jones of the academic de- p&rtment, addressing the freshman class Tuesday on college rules, said that 9o per cent of Yale undergradu- ates can be safely trusted to follow the path of right living. Tine remaining per cent. include the men who quietly leave college from time to time and never come back The deans words were in striking contrast to the state nlent of the Chicago writar who al legged among other things that S5 per cent. of Harvard students drank. and 15 per cent. went to ruin thereby.
