poLYDoRE QUESTION BOX.

Question-In' your answer to "Cus
rious'' concerning the value OF palmtG
try you say that 1t is about as res
liable as medical science. Do you ad-
wise people to consult a palnist ia
their troubles just as they onsul dcc
tors? ANXIOUS.
Answer--By no means. On the N
trary, / should advise people no to
consult any Of the ordinary run OF
palmists at all. Most of the latter are
ignorant charlatans who know scarce
" anything about the laws of scientific
palmistry, and still less about any
thing else.
Do not imagine / am saying this in
a spirit of running down business
rivals. My sole purpose is to try to
impress upon the public that, as there
are so very few palmists who are real
ly conversant in the art, and at the
same time honest, it is best not TO
consult any at all. / really believe you
can count all the honest, trustworthy
palmists in the United States on the
fingers of one hand.
Unless you can be sure that the
palmist you visit is really properly
equipped both in point of knowledge
and of ethics, it is best not to go ear
him. And as there is no regular seat
of learning where palrnistry Is taught
as Q legitimate branch of knowledge
like medicine or law, there can be no
diploma to apprise you whether or not
any given practitioner of palmistry is
properly qualified or not.
In time l believe the colleges will rec
ognize the merit of the claims of SCI
entifc palmistry and will adopt 1t Into
their curricula. And then only will 1t
be safe to consult authorized palm
lists.

FIRE DESTRUCTION BY OFFICIAL NEGLECT

TA VIOLENTLY it never occurred to the statesmen who have sat
IL in the magnificent State capitol building at Albany to
make laws for the people whether the edifce they occupied
was supplied with any proper means for extingushing fires and
whether there was enough of a frefghting force on hand at all
times to grapple with an emergency. The evidence is that the
immense destruction by fire in the building was caused by official
neglect to provide the most ordinary means for extinguishing fires.
If there had been a fire extinguisher within reach, or even a couple
buckets of water, the two beated newspaper correspondents in the
building could have saved the State an incalculable loss. A private
corporation, if the owner of such a property, would have had fire
cxtinguishers in handy reach on every floor and there would have
been al riled fire corps.

PATERNITY OF THE RECoPD-GERAN BILL.

m COMPARISON of the Record Geran bill with bills drafted
~ by George l.. Record and introduced in previous leghla-
lures by his request shows that the bill this year is almost
q facsimile of Records former bills. There has never been made
any denial of the paternity of the Record Geran bill, nor could there
he in the face Of these comparisons. In fact, in the sample blanket
ballots of the Record.Geran bill exactly the same sample names of
candidates are used and in exactly the same order as in the former
Record bills. In short, the bill that is claimed as a Democratic
party measure demanded by the party voters in the last election is
taken second hand from a defeated Republican candidate. 1t may
not be inaptly described as funeral baked meats" for it is a left
over from at least two funerals in previous legislatures.

Says Hold Night Session ON Geran Bill.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
One of your correspondents in the
Rostrum, a column that is always so
full of thought to pertinent sugges-
tions tina its perusal is an intellectual
pleasure, deplores the fact that the
hearing on the Geran election bill next
Tuesday should be held in Trenton at a
time when the average citizen will be
unable to be present to protest. 1 think
that the writer hit the nail OF the head
when he i~nsinuates that it is quite ap-
parent that the hearing is a mere
bluff"
What else is it? Everybody knows
that during a busy work-day the aver
age man cannot get off," and SO, of
course, the hearing is ''on."
If, however, the dictator of State
politics should say that the hearing
should be held some time at night, say
In this city or Jersey City, perhaps
even he and his teacher, George L.

ECONOMICAL BEEF FEEDING,

The Nebraska state experiment sta
ton at Lincoln published the middle
of December Il bulletin ON Economical
Beef Production" which contains ii
number of suggestions which should
be valuable to feeders of beef cattle.
AS result of a number of carefully
conducted feeding tests it was found
that old process linseed meal coarsely
ground had u slightly higher feeding
value than cottonseed meal. while Ell
Their of these feeds was considerably
better than wheat bran as protein
concentrate. One experiment showed
that cold pressed cottonSeed cake fed
with corn and corn slower gave larger
daily gains than any other combina-
ton of foods used. The results in
three experiments made showed that
beef could be produced more cheaply
by the use of alfalfa in connection
with corn than by the use of any of
the three concentrates-linsee meal.
cottonseed meal or bran-when the
roughage consisted Of prairie hay. The
conclusions derived from some other
feeding tests showed that with corn
at from 81 TO so cents per bushel and
alfalfa hay at ST per ton or lower less
than n full feed of corn-from four
teen to eighteen pounds-was a more
economical ration than when a full
feed was used and that if corn was
worth from so to 60 cents per bushel
it was more economical to reduce the
corn ration to a half feed. or from ten
to twelve pounds. A comparison of
the quarters after the animals were
slaughtered showed that the groups
fed on alfalfa gave a better quality of
meat. as shown in the color. marbling,

A LIMITED PARCELS POST.

The demand on the part of the peo-
pie of the country for what is known
as a limited parcels post is increasing,
and there seems to be little question
that in the near future congress will
pass such legislation as will put it
age delivery by mail have been in
vogue in some European countries for
more than hundred years. hence are
not socialistic. utopian or untried. In
practical operation they have proved
eminently successful and above every
thing satisfactory and great con-
venience to people living in country
districts. The postmaster general has
recommended limited parcels post
which would make low rates for the
distribution of parcels from towns and
cities over local rural routes. 1t is
contended. and the point is we'll taken,
that the average rural carrier handles
less than forty pounds of mail matter
daily when even with his light wagon
he could easily take care of several
times this amount. not only increasing
greatly the revenues of the postottice
department. but ministering largely to
the needs and convenience of the pa
irons along his route. The opponents
of parcels posts in any form seem to
be the country merchants. who fear
still further inroads into their terri
tory by the catalogue houses and the
| express companies. which are annually
extracting millions Of dollars from the
shippers of the country in the shape of
discriminatory and exorDitant rates.
Inasmuch. however. as some country
merchants are buying catalogue house
stuff and putting it on their own
shelves. the position which they take
in the matter is hardly consistent The
live merchant does not greatly fear
catalogue house competition, and the
dead or moribund merchant who is al
ready hanging on the ragged edge will
drop out sooner or later anyway. This
matter of home trading is a good deal
! of a fiction. and with no class is it a
bigger joke than with merchants in
their relation one to another. AS the
! postal laws are now. with agreements
at present in force with foreign coun-
tries, one can send package to a rela-
tive In Europe as cheaply as he can to
a friend in the next state or county.
The inequality is manifest and one
that bids fair to be righted.

A DEFICIENT DIET,

Investigations into instances of pir
eating Sows seem to show that this
tendency is aggravated if not in every
case caused by the sow's not having a
balanced diet during the few weeks
prior to the birth of her litter. A
largely fat forming ration. such as
corn, fails to furnish the mother with
the elcments she needs in providing
her unborn young with flesh and bone
forming material. and the morbid an.
petite she sometimes shows In her at
tempts to devour them as soon as born
is quite often evidence of the lack re-
ferred to. The difficulty may be over
come by reducing the corn ration and
substituting for part of 1t in TIN,
neighborhood of half pound per day
of oil meal or tankage. This ration
may be still further improved by add
ing an allowance of steamed clover or
alfalfa hay. The bone forming ele-
ment-potash-may be supplied In &C d
charcoal and wood ashes.

To Improve Idaho's Morals.

Senator Enoch w. Whitcomb,
of Lemhi county, has been fight
ing since the opening of the ses-
sion against what he is pleased
to term crank" legislation. He
is a liberal in the broad sense,
and has consistently opposed all
measufes introduced, the tend
ency of which he thinks is to re-
strict the liberty of the individ-
ual.
Monday the senator made an
attack from a different point.
He tried out ridicule as a legisla-
tive weapon. He introduced a
bill to regulate and improve the
morals of the people of the state
of Idaho and to restrict persons
as to the exercise OF their in
dividual rights"
In section one, it is made I'M
lawful TO drink or sell buttermilk
within the state, as it is a fer
mented and intoxicating liquor
under existing laws.
In section two, it is made un.
lawful for any person to engage
in OSCILLATION, as that has an i'm
moral and unsanitary effect.
In section three, it is made I'M
lawful for any woman to wear
false hair, paint her face or pad
her form.
In section four, it is provided
that any bride who shall wear
false hair, paint her face or pad
her form shall be guilty of OBJ
tanning goods under false pre-
lenses.
Persons guilty of violating any
of the provisions of the proposed
law shall suffer the penalty of
death. An emergency existing,
the law is made to take effect on
approval.
This bill was sent first to the
committee on privileges and cleo
tons; later, to the committee on
rules. Statesman.

SEARCH AND
SEIZURE" Law

Contrary to general belief,
Governor Hawley signed the
search and seizure" bill when
presented for his approval Sat-
urday, and the bill owing to the
fact that it contained an emer-
gency clause became operative
Immediately. The measure is
the most radical passed at the
eleventh SESSION of the legisla-
ture, and those in close touch
with the situation did not think
it would meet with the govern
or1s approval when presented, it
Being generally believed that
owing to his liberal attitude and
his pronounced opposition to pro-
hibition he would give it his veto.
Governor Hawley signed the bill
for the reason, he said, that so
long as the state or any part of
it has prohibition under the local
option plan, he desires the law
enforced, and thought the pres
ent law ineffective.
The measure was introduced
IN the senate by Senators Coates,
Eckert, Gooding, Haight, Lee,
Page. Potts, Preston, Shawhan.
St. Clair, Williams and Yates.
The prime object of the bill is to
strictly enforce the present coun-
ty option law, and provides a
maximum punishment for failure

imprisonment or a fine of $500,
or both. for each offense.
Section two Of the law provides

tricts in the state where intoxi-
eating liquors are dispensed are
tebe deemed common nuisances,
and persons responsible for such
places are guilty of a misdemean-
or and are punishable by fines
ranging from $25 to $500, or i'm
prisonment in Jail from 10 to 100
days. or both.
Possession of a United States
special tax stamp for the sale of
liquors in a prohibition territory
shall be prima facie evidence
shat the possessor of the stamp

Section eight provides that if
any prosecuting sttorney, sheriff
or any peace officer has cause to

sold or given away or otherwise
disposed of contrary to law, it
shall be the duty of such officer
b file with the magistrate an af-
fidavit to that effect. The magis-
hate will then issue a warrant
commanding the offer to search
the premises and seize the liquor
and all appurtenances used in the
conducting of the illegal business.
The officer shall then file a COM
plant against those engaged in
the traffic, charging them with
: the offense and the liquor seized
shall be used as evidence of the
violation of the law. If the own
er of the liquor is not found then
1t shall be the duty of the officials
to publicly destroy the same, and
on conviction the liquor shall be
dealt with in the same manner,
but if the person charged with
the offense is found not guilty
she liquors seized shall be re-
turned.
Another section gives the Off
