GOOD HEALTH RESOLUTIONS

Resolution Number One: I will try: to become more intelligent con corning my body" says Doctor Jeon Williams in Woman's Home Compan- ion for January, looking with great CT respect upon my physical resour- ceS and trying to realize more fully that upon them the force and success of my life largely depend.
 Resolution Number Two: will arrange, if possible, to supply suff1- cient pure air for every breath I take, thus better to combat every source of disease that might attack me. to inn prove my chance for long life and to increase my efficiency.
 Resolution Number Three: I will be kinder to my digestive organs, them to struggle with food for which they have repeatedly shown antago- nism.
 Resolution Number Four: will treat my brain and nervous system with greater consideration. and fifty six hours of each week shall be de- voted to sleep.
 Resolution Number Five: I will try to do in eight hours as much hard work as I should do in one day. ."Resolution Number Six: I will devote at least two of the twenty four hours to such exercise as I find most beneficial.
 Resolution Number Seven. I will give my moral support to every eff fort, public or private, in behalf of the betterment of health conditions, so becoming a small factor in the great movement for moral and physi- cal uplift."

SENATOR'S BY
 POPULAR VOTE
Resolution Providing for It Will Be Reported to the
 Senate

Washington, Jan. 1o-The resolution proposing an amendment to the Con- stitution for the election of Senators by direct vote of the people will be reported favorably to the Senate by the committee on Judiciary. This de- cision was reached yes .erday after noon by a vote of 10 to 2: Senators Depew of New York and Dillingham; of Vermont cast the two opposing votes. The Senators who voted to re- Nelson of Minnesota. Warner of Mis- souri. Clark of Wyoming. Borah of Idaho. Bacon of Georgia. fOverman of Rayner of Maryland. Payn ,er of Ken lucky. and Clarke of Arkansas.
 Efforts to amend the resolution fail- ed. The principal fight was over amendments offered by Senators De- pew and Nelson. which sought to give the Federal Government control over primaries that might be held for the election of Senators. Both amend ments were voted down by decisive majorities. as were several others of fered in committee.
 There will be a fight on the floor of the Senate to incorporate in the resolution either the Depew or the Nelson amendment. Southern Sena- tors announce that they will vo-% against the resolution if any provis- ion is inserted giving control over Senatorial primaries to the Federal Government.

TAFT REBUKES
 SIMS FOR SPEECH
But Reprimand Carefully Phrased So As to Avoid Wounding British or Ger man Susceptibilities.

Washington, Jan l0-President Taft has completed his draft of the letter of 'reprimand which is to be sent to Commander W. $. Sims, command ng the battleship Minnesota, who at the banquet given to American naval of f1cers at the Guildhall in London made speech in which he pledged the United States to "the last dollar" and the Hast man. to aid Great Bri- tain if she should have war with any other country.
 This draft has been in the hands of the Secretary of the Navy. Today it was taken up by the Cabinet, and way to Commander Sims as renin- der of the eternal principle of Washington's farewell address and warning to eschew remarks that may lead to entangling alliances.
 It goes without saying that 1t has taken MT. Taft a much greater amount Of thought to frame this let ter of reprin1and than it did MT. Sims to outline his speech. On the one hand, he was beset by the multiply ng protests of the Germap-American Git. izen League, which threatened to re- member, just before election time, this pledge of aid to England should she have a war, and that war, possibly, with Germany. On the other hand there was the equally dangerous mem ace of affronting Great Britain if he should go a step too far in ~disavowing the flamboyant sentiments of Com mander Sims. D..
 It is Is understood that the Presi- dnet's letter, while it administers a rehuke to the Commander for his rash utterances at the Guildhall banquet, tenders him certain indirect fcompli- ments for what he has accomplished in perfecting the craftsmanship of the navy gunners.
 Those who know Commander Sims at all will probably feel that he will immediately have the Presidents let ter neatly framed and hung in the ward room of the Minnesota within a few days after that vessel drops anch- or at Guantanamo,

x SCIENTISTS SAY THAT RABBI
 IS IN BAD FORM

Boston, Jan. 10.-Answering the sermon of Rabbi Charles Fleischer, on 'fThe Return of Mrs. Eddy" with a tart statement that his remarks were at least 'in bad taste,' and that Rab- bi Fleischer spoke without having in- formed himself of facts, the Christian Science organization to-day, again gave official recognition to the discus sion over the expectations of Mrs. Stetson, the ex-communicated New York leader, that Mrs. Eddy will rise.
 Rabbi Fleischer, at Boston's leading Jewish church, Temple Israel, declar- ed:
 We rationalists are. all vitally in terested in the mood of expectancy existing in certain groups of Christian Scientists that the dead body of Mrs. Eddy will rise from the grave.
 But if we are interested in the at titude of Christian Scientists we are quite as interested in the attitude of other Christians towards the mem bers of this sect. How do they feel about it?l Why, they are shocked: Yet the rising of Mrs. Eddy could be no more wonderful than the rising of Jesus of Nazareth, though it may of fend Christendom for Jew and a Mrs. Eddy is no more impossible than the rising of Jesus" The official answer of the Christian Scientists is- sued through Alfred Barlow, head of the publicity committee, to-day, was
 Evidently the Rabbi has been caught mapping for it-is not certain Christian Scientists who are expect ing the return of Mrs. Eddy to this world but certain persons who have been expelled from tine Christian Science church for advocating in the name of Christian Science certain teachings which appear to constitute the basis for the belief that the RaS- bi criticises. If the gentleman had kept up with the times he would have found public denunciation Of the ir- rational supernatural which he Ques- tions. If the gentleman deems it his sacred duty to quote the Christian Scientists we would suggest that he kept himself better informed. lest he should speak at the wrong time. It is in bad taste, to say the least to scold the people under ones charge at the wrong time, notably, on mere assumption. It is difficult to know what the gentleman means by 'doings clothed in mystery and movements shrouded in secrecy Like all other religious denominations, the Christian Science Church makes its public af- fairs known to the public and keeps it's private affairs to its officials"

Ex-Lieutenant Governor Lake de- nies having said that in the event of Bulkeley's defeat there will be a hell of story" Mr. Lake was the Bulkeley candidate against Goodwin for the Republican nomination for Governor, and is said to have held a majority of the delegates to the State convention at the midnight preceding the opening of that body.
 It is probable that there will ensue. after the Senatorial election and whether Bulkeley or Mclean wins. a mighty struggle for control of the Re- publican State machine. with B1ilke- ley and Brandegee upon one side. and Mclean and Hin upon the other. the first objective point being the success sion to Senator Brandegee. with HIM again candidate against Brandegee.

'T will never" says Congressman Hin. "vote to pass another tariff bill through the House to be amended by the Senate in such a way that those amendments cannot be voted on in the House. but must be accepted as coming from the conference commit tee"
 The usual procedure has been: gT1e House passes a tariff bil,. .s.e Senate substitutes a materially different meas ure which the House refuses to ac- cept; then. the matter goes to 6 con- ference committee generally packed C &.rEove ttlc aenate bill. and the conference report is rushed through fin both houses without opportunity of amendment.

CONDITIONS IN WALL STREET

Wall Street appears to be largely Tn a waiting mood. though expectant If lively business as soon as the Su- oresne Court decides the Oil and To- sacoo cases. and the Interstate Com ulerce Commission dsposes of the question Of freight-rate increases. In the meantime. there is revival in the demand for bonds. particularly those wia3ch ere non-taxable. and for stocks whose divfdend-paying abilities are beyond question. This demand may. in part at least. be attributed to .he rednvestment of January divi- Ee1,ds-
 Money is easy both here and abroad. with no present prospect of any ad- vance in rates This should stirn ulate speculation. but does not. and this is explained by Banker Clews' statement that there is no prospect of any pro fonged rise fin values or any unusual activity in the market until the condi- t:ous of general business improve"
 MT. Clews states that the cost of labor to the railroads has been in creased between s100, ,000,0 900 and $150- o0o. 900 a year. and expresses the, belief that they. should be permitted to. sccoup at least portion of this loss through the means of better rates, there being. in his opinion. mo jus sice in expecting stockholders to stand the entire burden There are two facts which are apparently not taken into account by MT. Clews. One is that the decrease in dividends would not be great: the other is that, very large amounts of the stocks are wind and water. upon which there Is no justice in requiring the general public 10 pay dividends through increased freight rates. the main tendencies of which are to increase the cost of fiv- ing. and to lessen trade in other than the actual necessaries of life.
 But. says Mir CleWs in conclusion, "a more cheerful sentiment prevails everywhere. and these are factors which cannot fail to have at least a moderately stimulating effect upon values" It is. perhaps. an encourag- ing fact for the general public that Wal Street is not especially optimistic as to the stock markets future-a rush of speculation might not be beneficial. i"

While the Farmer agrees with Mr. Bryan in deprecating a reactionary Democratic policy in 1912. it does not believe with him that loyalty to the nominations of 1896. 1900 and 1908 should be made the test for 1912. It is we'll to require that both candidate and platform shall antagonize "the special interests. but not that SUD- port of MT. Bryan's three candida cies shall be made the test. The party's tickets received last year the support of the entire party and it should be, end undoubtedly is. too grateful there for to engage in an attempt to kick out any part of that support.

KING MORCAN'S LATEST COUP.
 AS FINANCIER
Especial from United Press.)


 New York, Jan. 10-Whether J. Pier financial skies, cleared up some twen- ty millions of dollars, or lost half a million is the question financiers here are trying to solve, today. The friends of Morgan, who say he acted unselfishly to save the financial sit uation, say he took over the stock of the Madison Trust Company, the 18th ward bank and the 18th ward bank at the market price and that, in doing so, he also shouldered obliga- tions which made his stock cost $5S5,- who seem to question the Morgan brand of philanthropy, point out that he paid only $2,450 600 for control of three banking institutions whose al- lied resources are in excess of 20,000,- GOO. Morgan, these people say, will shortly liquidate the three organiza tions and open, in their stead, branches of his Equitable Trust Company.
 The minority stock holders, it is pointed out, will have no say in the matter as Morgan, as the price of pre- venting a run by the mere use of his name, secured the control of all of the three concerns.
 He paid $700,000 for the control of the 18th and F ward banks, and s1,- The latter was valuable purchase as the Morgan interests had been after it ever since it was reorganized from the old Van Norden Trust Company.
 To pay for the three institutions, it is expected Morgan will issue new stock of the Equitable Trust Company and exchange 1t for outstanding shares of the three companies, making the actual cost to Morgan. personally, only about what the engravers bill will be who furnished the new stock.
 The $2O,0G0,000 assets of the three institutions which were in danger, will add materially to the attractive ness of the Equitable Trust Company's balance sheets, hereafter. in the opin- ion of financial experts who have watched the present situation.

EIGHTEEN lNCENDlkRY
 FIRES IN N-W HAVEN

New Haven. Jan. 10-The annual re- port of Fire Marshal William B. Per- kins, just comple. .ed. shows that dur ing the year 1910 there were eighteen fires, the origin of which the author ities have set down as incendiary. Of seventeen others the cause could not be discovered. The marshal tells in his report of the effor,s to round up those responsible for the fires and re- ports that two convictions were se- cured on the charge of arson during the year.
 This record of eighteen incendiary fires is far above that of any previous year here
