BAN ON BOOK AGENTS
LIFTED BY STUART
School Headquarters Wei
comes Them With Open
Arms This Week.

The ban usually imposed on the
maligned book agent in Government
departments and public buildings is
off at school headquarters at the
Franklin building this week.
Persons plying that worthy trade
are welcom ed with open arms, for
the time for revising the list o:
approved text books IN the public
schools approaches and the school Of
ficials are collecting suggestions.
A. T. Stuart has dropped all other
business for the rest of the week IN
order to give representatives of the
various large text book publishing
houses their inning. and the offices Of
Assistant Superintendent Hughes, Di-
rector Kramer, and Miss Brown, who
has charge of primary instruction. are
also besieged.
The recommendations of the school
executives will be presented to Super
intendent Stuart, and by him forward
ed to the Board of Education at its
first February meeting.
Conservatism is the slogan of the
superintendent, and he has served no.
tice that no books will be changed un-
less there is good reason by way OF
new and decidedly better text book
to necessitate the change.

NICKEL IN THE BOX

Like to work puzzles?

Like to work puzzles?
Well, here's one that makes the anti
quated "If-a-hen-and-a-half-l -lays-an-egg.
Observation-Disclosures y-and-a- half look like
tortoise entry in a 2:O5 race.
If it costs ten cents in street car fare
and an hours time to collect every
nickel that the Washington Railway and
Electric Company owes you. how long
will it take you to get even?
That's the puzzle that caused DR..
George H. Heitmuller, 1904 Vermont ave-
nue., to sit for hours with his digits in
his hair and wrinkles in his forehead.
And his final answer was Give it
up"
Now he has the District Railway Com
missioners working on the conundrum.
You see it's this way: DR. HeitmulIer
noticed colored washerwoman board a
AYE car on the Eleventh street line
and drop a dime in the little glass
strong box.
When she asked for her nickel change
the blue-coated representative Of the
corporation informed her she could get
II by going to the company's offices,
FIFTEENTH and East Capitol streets
northeast.
OF course, that was easy. Something
like an hour and half's ride and incl
dentally 10 cents more money for the
company, so DR.. Heitmuller thought
he'd take chance and raise the wash
ermans ante.
Il dropped a quarter in the box" said
the doctor this morning, in relating his
experience, but the conductor would
give me neither tickets or change.
g Go to the office he said to me, so
I decided TO make a test | called up
the office and told them what had hap
pened.
Sure, they'd send me tickets. Why,
certainly!
Il waited, but no tickets hove in sight
so I telephoned again and again and
again. Each Of the four times a diff
ferent voice responded, but always the
same promise-and always the same
result
In my opinion. it is a system of petty
robbery" said the doctor, and the ig-
norant poor suffer most by it. Often
times they don't have a quarter and all
they have goes into the little safe from
which nothing ever returns-eXcept to
the company. l have placed the matter
before the District Railway Commits
sioners, and am in hopes the policy will
be changed.

PLANS COMPLETED
FOR INDOOR CIRCUS
Shriners Will Entertain AT
Convention Hall All of
Next Week.

Unusual interest is being shown in the
advance announcements of the Royal &
Adams two-ring indoor circus and wild
West show which Almas Temple, of
the Mystic Shrine, is bringing to Wash
ington for a weeks engagement, be-
ginning next Monday night at Conven-
tion Hall. The enterprise of the local
organization III bringing an attraction
of this magnitude to Washington has
attracted much attention, and the allur-
ing promises of the show itself have
Sufficed to set amusement lovers of
this city in state of pleasant antici-
patton.
Then. there is the novelty of the thing,
for ii will be Washington's first expert
ence with an indoor circus, the kind OF
indoor circus that presents program I
as the program of the biggest of ag-
gregations exhibiting under canvas dur
ing the good old summer time.
From pictorial point Of view the
indoor circus has a strong advantage
over the tent show of the summer. The
the fact that there is no chance of eX-
posure to weather and other disturbing
conditions, makes it possible for the per-
formers to exhibit costumes more
costly and artistic than those OF the
summer, and the increased lighting IA
cilites afforded by Convention Hall
make possible a satisfactory display of
these costumes.
The members of Almas Temple have
about completed the preliminaries for
the coming Of the big show, which will
arrive in Washington from Troy, n.
Y, on Sunday. The two biggest tasks
were the building Of the seats and the
preparing of the arena. There will be
two fOrty-foot rings, with a twenty
foot elevated stage between them. and
a hippodrOme track surrounding the
rings and the stage.
Members of Almas Temple take no
part whatever in the program, which
will be rendered in its entirety by the
$50 or more professional performers
carried by the RoYai & Adams show.

Twenty-Four Killed
In Religious Riots

BOMBAY, Jan. 13.-Rioting was re-
sumed today in the religious festival of
the Mohammedans who are celebrating
the Muharram, the first month of the
Mohammedan year, and twenty-four are
now dead as a result of the fighting
with the police. Troops and sepoys pa
trolled the streets dispensing the crowds
which gathered, but as fast as the ma
tives were driven from one quarter they
congregated again in another.
The fighting is between the Sunnites,
the orthodox section, and the Shiahs,
the second great division Of the church.
Led by fanatics, the Mohammedans
charged the police repeatedly and were
beaten back by soldiers, who used ball
cartridges.

Eldora, May 10.-The present indica-
tions are that not only Ira A. Nichols.
owner and publisher Of the iowa Fails
Citizen, but also S. B. Stonerook, own
err and publisher of the Iowa Falls
Sentinel, will be involved in damage
suits in which the two Wisner heirs,
Gilman and Lois, allege Islander and
libel on account of a certain article
published in the Citizen on Friday,
April IS; and reprinted in full in the
Sentinel on Tuesday, May 9.
Already notice of suit has been
served on Nichols in which Lois j.
wisner and Gilman III. Wisner ask
damages to the extent of SO. 900 each,
alleging that the article in question
was slanderous and defamatory in
character.
According to Charles A. Rogers, To-
cal attorney retained by the Wisners
by the year, the article as reprinted by
the Iowa Falls Sentinel is also libel
GUS No statement has been made as
to whether or not suit will be brought
against Stonerook, the Sentinel article
appearing but yesterday, but in view
of the fact that Attorney Rogers has
expressed his opinion that the article
in question is of libelous nature and
the fact that notice of suit has already
been served on Nichols, 1t is not too
much to expect that soon notice will
be served on Stonerook. The case
against Nichols has been listed for the
September term of court, and should
case against Stonerook be commenced
it probably will be set for the same
time

The High Cost Of Living Reduced.

Much has been said about the high cost q
living, its causes, and the possibilities Of its
reduction. But little has been said about the
most costly leak: the false economy existing
today in nearly every household.
Much foodstuffs are bought with but one
point in view: How cheap can get itf
without thought Of quality or "after cost. a
One Of the most serious is baking powder.
By the use of perfect baking powder the house,
wife can derive as much economy % from any
other article used in baking and cooking Ia @. /
lecting the baking powder. therefore, care should
be exercised to purchase one that retains 20
original strength and always remains the same,
thus making the food sweet and wholesome and
producing 551ffioiea: !esve.:.ss see to make The
baking light.
Very little of this leavening gas is produced by
the cheap baking powders, making 1t necessary to
use double the quantity ordinarily required to 90
cure good results.
You cannot experiment every time you make
cake or biscuits test the strength Of your bak-
ing powder to find out how much of it you should
use; yet with most baking powders you should do
this for they are put together SO carelessly they
are never uniform, the quality and strength vary

$3.50 GAS FOR NEWTON.
Council Follows Advice Received From
Other SIN aIler CitiSs.

Other SIN aIlsr Cities.
Newton, May l0.-At the meeting OF
the city council Monday night 1t was
decided to start furnishing gas from
the new gas plant at the uniform rate
of $50 per thousand cubic feet, the
council acting upon the advice OF nu-
merous municipalities. which have gas
plants, and about the same size of
Newton. Attic there has been consid-
cradle agitation by various parties. who
were crying for dollar gas, the council
decided that furnishing gas for that
amount would put the newborn plant
in danger as TO a paying proposition.
E. K. Finch, city clerk, who has writ
ten to many other cities regarding a
gas rate for town of 5000, states that
almost universally the rate has been
started higher than dollar, for, stated
the letters, it were better to start high
and come down in rate, when IL was
found the business would warrant it.
than it would be to start low and raise
in price.
