zone of the most pitiful things OF
modern times" said Secretary Wilson,
lis the manner in which the poor Of
the large cities are beaten down by
the prices which prevail at this time
The prices are such that no man work
ing for ordinary wages can meet them
They are beyond the pocketbOok Of
the poor, and there is nothing that
gives the poor any protection from
them. This condition undoubtedly pre-
walls in nearly every city.
THE farmer does not get half the
price the consumer pays. Many per
sons are inclined to place the blame
for high prices on the farmers, but as
a matter of fact the farmers are not
benefited by the high prices. A few
middlemen, selected individuals, who
step in between the farmer and the
consumer. are the persons who reap
the benefit
Secretary Wilson believes this is a
condition that cities alone can rem
edy He thinks that if 1t is true, and
he believes it is true, that somewhere
between the farmer and the consumer
in the city are individuals who are
making too large a profit on the stuff
the farmers produce, it is the duty Of
a municipality to find out who these
persons are and to put stop to the
overcharging.

Huge Guns VIII Shoot Fifteen Miles

THINK of gun which will hurl a
1 1,4OO-pound projectile through nine
inches of the best face-hardened steel
Is miles away from where it is fired!
This is what Uncle Sans new 14-inch
guns will do They will shoot beyond
the horizon. In other words, the
range of the monsters with which the
two new battleships, New York and
Texas, will be equipped is greater
than it is possible to see a target the
size of a ship of the Delaware type.
Under the most. favorable conditions
not even the tall masts Of the Della
ware could be seen from a ship of the
same size 10 mile away. And the
new 14-inch gun is effective at that
range.
The navy department has just COM
pleted a successful test of the gun
and work wifi go forward at once in
the Washington factory to make the
20 huge weapons needed for the two
vessels.
The recent tests made with the
naval service 12-inch gun on the old
battleship Texas in Chesapeake bay

makers had reached a high state

The government has control only of

SANDWICHES EASY TO MAKE
When a Quantity Is Required, as for
Picnic, Try the Follow
ing Method.

The picnic season-hence the sand
witch seasons at hand. When guam
titles of these unfailing requisites are
required, try the following plan and
see how easily this trying work can
be done: Cut the crusts from a loaf
of bread with four strokes Of sharp
knife-front, back and sides, then
cut the crustless loaf in half, butter
each half where you cut the loaf, slice
piece of bread from each half, put in
filling and the slices will exactly fit
Proceed, cutting one slice from each
side of loaf Wrap in waxed paper,
and you will have dainty, symmetrical
sandwiches when the luncheon basket
is opened.
Place a napkin around the top of
the pineapple. give it twist. and
the stem is removed. Lay pineap-
pie on a board and with a sharp knife
(silver is preferable) cut into slices.
Pare each slice as you would an ap-

IN HIS is the whitest of white sum-

ponderance of white gowns
makes a background against
which millinery is displayed to the
very best advantage. The greater

Army Regulations Are Being Modified

would otherwise be inclined to enter
the service
One of the first reforms to be in
augurated was that of the sentences
administered for slight infractions of
army law. The most common Of these
offenses now, as it has been for many
generations, is desertion, and most
of the assertions are unintentionaL
Upon conviction the culprits are
sentenced to three to six months in
a military prison. not because their
offense merited such punishment, but
because the ancient regulations had it
that way,
Some of the best men we have in
the army have deserted not only once,
but two or three times" said General
Wood in discussing the matter Very
frequently a young recruit gets so
homesick that he just has TO go back
and visit the old folks whether he
has leave or not. If he can't get the
leave he takes 1t and then comes back
in a little while to take his medicine
To condemn him to spend a term In
Jail with murderers and thieves is bar
barous and inhuman."
Under the new system the punish
ment for mild cases of desertion is
merely deprivation of leave, extra
work or the cutting OF of special al
lowances. The guardhouse is only to
be used for real offenders and the
military prison for hardened Grim
fnaIs.

QUEER DISEASE IS
IN UNITED STATES
Many Here Afflicted With Odd
AiIment, Says Prof.
Munyon.
GREWS0ME CREATURES
VERY COMMON,
FINDS EXPERT.

Many people in the United States are
afhcted with queer disease, according
to statemeR yesterday by Professor
James NJ. Munyon. He made the follow
ing remarkable and rather grewsome
statement:
Many persons who come and write to
my Headquarters at SD and Jefferson
SITS, Philadelphia, Pa. think they are
suffering from a simple stomach trouble,
when in reality they are the victims of
entirely different disease-that Of
tape worm. These tape worms are huge
internal parasites, which locate in the
upper bowel and consume a large per-
centage of the nutriment in undigested
OF forty to sixty feet. One may have q
tape worm for years and never kno"
the cause Of his or her i'll health.
Persons who are suffering from one
of these creatures become nervous, weak
and irritable, and tire at the least ex-
ertion. The tape worms rob one of am
bition and vitality and strength, but they
are rarely fatal.
1.-The victim of this disease is apt to
stomach trouble, and doctors for years
without relief. This is not the fault of
no absolute diagnosis that will tell posi-
lively that one is not a victim of tape
worm
1.-The most common symptom of this
trouble is an abnormal appetite. At
times the person IS ravenously hungry
and cannot get enough to eat At other
times the very sight of food is loathsome.
There is gnawing, faint sensation at
the pit of the stomach. and the victim
has headaches. fits of dizziness and nau-
sea. He cannot sleep at night and often
thinks he is suffering from nervous pros
tration.
81 have a treatment which has had
wonderful success in eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In the
course of its regular action in aiding
digestion, and Kidding the blood kidneys
and liver of impurities it has proven fatal
to these great worms. If one has a tape
worm, this treatment will, in nine cases
out of ten. stupefy and pass it away. but
If not, the treatment will rebuild the
rundown person. who is probably suffer-
Ing from stomach trouble and a general
anaemic condition My doctors report
marvellous success here with this treat
ment- Fully a dozen persons have passed
these worms. but they are naturally reti-
cent about discussing them, and of course
We cannot violate thSir confidence by CIV
ing their names to the public"
Letters addressed to Professor James
NJ. Munyon, SD and Jefferson Streets,
Philadelphia, Pa, will receive as careful
attention though the patient called in
person. Medical advice and consultation
absolutely free. Not a penny to pay.

Pink ! Popular Color

With the incoming of thin summer
clothes one saw a good deal of the
now established French idea Of using
pink ribbon In ones lingerie instead
Of any other color. The claim is that
it brings out the color of the skin.
and is more artistic than blue OF Law
ender.
If one wants to try its merits it
would be wise to run chemfses and
corset covers with a quarter-inch pink
ribbon a little deeper in tone than
what is known as flesh color. An
elaborate display of ribbon is not in
good taste It Is possible that an
eighth Of an inch would be the best
width to use Large bows are not
plastered in front Of the corset cover
as they used to be.

Striped Coat Set

Fine muslin, chiffon cloth, and mar
quisette are ali used to make collar
and cuff sets for short jackets. These,
with eyelet embroidered batiste, have
taken the place Of Irish lace, which
seems at q discount these days.
The striped coat sets are in any
color that one wishes, not necessarily
to match the suit The collar is quite
long. deep at the back, and finished
with an edge Of cluny lace or a hem
Of colored muslin or linen to match

chanaeabIe Taffeta Garments.

Not many are yet seen, but they
are expected to have a great run a
little later on. One reason why they
are not yet more in evidence is IN
doubtedly because of the price of the
French chiffon qualities of which they
are made. From $3.50 to $3.50 per
yard is asked in the retail shops for
these new taffetas. By another sea
son domestic manufa cturers will have
popular-priced lines, but If one desires
an exclusive silk gown for the present
summer she should invest in one of
changeable chiffon taffeta.
