President Taft's Western Tour

When Congress first voted an ap- propriation of $25, ,O00 a year for travelling expenses to the President, it did not think the time would come when a President would open a cam paign for reelection on September 15 and keep it up until November l, |all the way delivering speeches by the score in the interest of his re- tention in the high office he holds.
 Not since Lincoln's day has any republican faced so large a split in his own party as MT. Taft will when, on Friday next, he begins tour through 24 states, covering 13,000 miles. He essays a heavy task with his accustomed courage and perti- nacity, and all republicans feel that his own future and that of his party depend upon the effects and impress sions of the Presidents addresses in the course of his long tour.
 There is no denial of the object of the tour. "He Is a candidate for an- other term" says the Chicago Record-Herald, "and in justice to himself and to the great office he holds he is about to set forth and elucidate his own convictions and sen timents regarding the issues of the period"
 This is all right, especially if he explains his unfulfilled declarations in favor of downward revision, but it does seem a waste of public moneys to spend for campaign purposes so early in the game the sum of $18,000.

THE DEAR CHILDREN

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press
 Dr. Kenyon L. Butterfield, president of the Massachusetts Agricultural college. said at republican banquet at White River Junction:
 'In politics we must-be straightforward. On the tariff question, the labor question, the trust question, we must be open and above board Any inconsistency or craw- fishing will be visited on our heads a thou sandfold. Yea, even out of the mouths of babes shall we be condemned.
 Dr. Butterfield smiled.
 'Tike the rich uncle,' he resumed. "A rich uncle of the rosy-gilled type was riding his little niece on his knee when the child lisped:
 Uncle, how long does a person liver Three score years and ten, my dear. is our Scrptural allotment he replied piously.
 "'Then you.' said the pretty little girl. will live to be 40, won't you? "Har, ha. he laughed. Why should you think that, pet? "'Because,' said she, I heard mamma and papa say that you were leading a double life.' ,"

Bread Made at Home

President Schulze of the National Association of Master bakers is lead ing a movement to induce housewives to quit making bread and to buy of the bakers. He goes on to assail the biscuit made at home. He was, how ever, discussing Chicago biscuit and western made biscuit in general. He did not have a word to say concerning southern biscuit made at home.
 It must be admitted that bread made in bakeries has been greatly im- proved in the last ten years. The use of alumned flour in bakeries has been discontinued, and all methods in such places have been improved. Were bakers bread brought down in price to home made bread perhaps it would drive out the latter altogether. As matter of fact the latter is the cheaper. And there are some who will never admit that any bakery can make, or ever did make, as good bread as mother made, and so the rivalry in the matter of bread mak- ing between the home and the bakery will go on perhaps indefinitely.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
A Grent whlte Max

Birmingham is better lighted than 1t was a few years ago, but compared with Atlanta 1t Is poorly illuminated said a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
 MT. George H. Miller. who introduced the idea of the great white way in this city, was here some months ago. but the time was not then quite propitious for this enterprise. He is here again and is now highly encouraged by the pratically spontaneous response made in favor of his proposition.
 "The unanimous action of the Chamber of Commerce looking to a white way shxws that great interest has been aroused in the matter, and special com mittee has been appointed to aid, in for wsrding the project.
 "A few days ago I met an old friend here from New York, Robert B. Wood, vice president of the Crescent Insulated Wire and Cable company. He visits all the large cities of the south from time Birmingham he said: One of the things In which Atlanta beatss Birmingham Is in tho matter of street lighting. Atlanta is better lighted than any city I have seer in the south recently. The great white way adds immeasureably to the beauty arid general attractiveness of At lanta at night. I am surprised that Bir- mingham does not have something of the kind "

Four BY-EIeetiOns This Fall

The deaths of George w. Gordon of the Tenth Tennessee, of H. c. Lou denslager of the First New Jersey, of A. K. Mitchell of the Second Kansas, and of G. W. Kepp of the Fourteenth Pennsylvania districts will test the tariff issue even before a general election. General Gordon's successor in the Memphis disrict will be dem ocrat, and MT. Mitchell's successor will doubtless be an insurgent repub- lican, although the district is by no means politically assured to any party. Last fall MT. Mitchell re- ceived 23,2S2 votes, and John Cald- well, democrat, got 19,852, and Kate Richards O'Hara, socialist, boiled 2272. The first New Jersey district is exceedingly close, and the election of democrat in it is highly probable, and so it is in the Fourteenth Penn syivania district in which G. W. Kepp, democrat, was elected last year by about 800 plurality.
 As things stand four democrats may be elected in the four districts. H. c. Loudenslager and A. K. Mitchell were republicans, while Gen. eral Gordon and G. W. Kepp were democrats. Death has dealt with the two parties impartially, and the by elections will be considered straws that show which way the wind is blowing. The personality of the can- didates in the four districts and local conditions will, however, have no lit- tie weight in the approaching cleo tions.

POWER OF PEPsIN

From the Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette.
 The introduction of pepsin as remedial agent effected a complete revolution in the method of restoring to normal the ail- ments which in the old days were classed in a group as dyspepsia.
 If physicians were to observe anniver- saries of the discovery of remedies which had proven blessing to mankind the entire profession would unite in remem- bering the fiftieth anniversary of the first manufacture of pepsin in this country.
 Just half century ago the late John Carnrick, the eminent physiological chemist and the father of physiological products in the United States, made pos sible a new epoch in American medicine by producing the first pepsin.
 Pepsin had been made in a small way in Europe before MT. Carnrick's enterprise caused it to be introduced here, as 1t was originally suggested by pr. Corvisant of Paris. The quality was so poor, how- ever. that it's use was distinctly limited.

From the London Globe.
 Another of our cherished ideas will soon be no more. The leech has been deposed from it's sovereignty. and its passing forms the subject of an article in the Mois Iitteraire ct Pittoresque by M. Jac- ques Boyer. who tells us that prior to 1870 a dozen wholesale houses in Paris were engaged in the traffic of this ''gib- fer pharmaceutique," and that they sold between SO0.oO0 and 100000 a month at the rate of 250 francs or e10 per 1000 One house alone survives, and the number sent out is 1S0,o00 and the price has fallen to about 70 francs per 1000.
 What we may term the leech farmer for want of better name we are told in Phiridculteur, who formerly exercised his calling in the neighborhood of Ber- deaux in an artificial marsh. He had several infirm horses, and these poor creatures were induced by trickery to take & bath in the marsh, with the result that the growing leeches got feed at the expense of the life blood of the ven- erable horses, of which they had no superfluty.
 In Croatia. Dalmatia and Turkey they fish for leeches, which are taken In bas- kets like oysters. When these arrived in France they were placed in dark eel lars without nourishment, the better to fit them for their work on the invalid.
 M. Boyer tells an amusing story of a lot of leeches purchased for the navy. They were duly registered as each was sent out Five. 1t seemed, died nat ural death, a fact which will be preserved in the archives of the Ministry of Ma
