Cinnamon Cigarettes.

It has been discovered that the
school children of Washington have
been stunting their growth by smok-
ing cinnamon cigarettes. In fact, 1t
is said that scores Of the children
have become regular cinnamon Gig
arctic fiends, and are regular patrons
of the stores where the cigarettes can
be obtained The cigarettes are made
to resemble tobacco and are filled
with cinnamon. and physicians say
that the cinnamon, If anything. Is
more harmful than the tobacco. Major
Sylvester, chief of police, investigated.
and rounded up the stores selling the
harmful things, and they promised to
quit. Probably there are other cities
where cinnamon cigarettes are slyly
smoked by the children. and parents
will do we'll to investigate.

BIG COST OF WAR DEFENSE
Over Two Billions of Dollars Have
Been Spent in decade for
Preparations

Representative Tawney of Minneso-
ia has presented some startling fig
ures on the cost of preparation for
war"
The aggregate expenditures of the
United States on account of prepara-
tion for war in the last ten years have
been 2192, ,036, $50.
The amount of money appropriated
to prepare for war since 1902 has been
a little more than $400,000,000 less
than the aggregate bonded debt of the
United States on August Is, 1865, just
after the close of the Civil war.
Five Panama canals could be con-
structed with the money a decade of
war preparations has cost, with a
goodly balance left over
War preparation for the same dec
ade has been four times the aggregate
of the loss to the people of the United
States and Canada on account of all
the great fires during the S5-year peri
cd from 1920. to 1905.
Preparation for war since 1912 has
cost the government four times as
much as the war with Spain.

Hospital Fighters.

Into a hospital came two men with
battered faces.
Street fight?" said the surgeon in
charge.
1t was. Under the doctors direc-
tions orderlies moved beds and pa
tients around until the newcomers
were separated the length of the ward.
"In this case that precaution may
not be necessary" he said, but after
street brawl it very often is. Be-
fore we learned the peculiarities of
those people it happened more than
once that two men who were mortal
enemies were brought in and laid out
side by side. Each saw his advantage
and was foxy enough to keep still un-
til they were left alone in adjoining
cots, then they sailed into each other
tooth and nail. trying. to finish the job
that had been interrupted in the

ceeded. Now chance patients with pu-
gilistic tendencies are placed so far

lated Indian reservations in the wilds
of the desert and Ine Businesses of the
mountains. Miss Reel probably knows
and understands the Indian better than
any other white woman in our coun-
try. All of her expenses are paid by
the government so that her salary Is
largely clear gain; but those who
know just what her work is feel sure
that she earns all that she receives.
Miss Reel has been filling her present
position for the past IL years, but pre-
vious to that time she served her
county and state in different ways.
Her first public service was that of
district school superintendent. Then
she became a county superintendent
of schools. Then Miss Reel aspired to
the office of superintendent of schools
for the state of Wyoming. There was
good deal of opposition partly be-
cause of the fact that woman had
never before filled this office, and
there were those who felt that the
duties Of the position could not be dis
charged by woman. One or the
duties of the state superintendent Of
schools was the auctioneering off of
certain lands, and it was felt that this
was beyond the ability of woman.
Miss Reel did not think so and carried
forward her campaign SO well that she
was elected to the position and carried
out all of it's duties with such marked
success that even many of those who
at first opposed her were ready to ad-
init that she was in every way capa-
BILE of filling the bill" 1t was her ex-
cellent work as state superintend-
ent of schools that helped Miss Reel
to the position of the highest salaried
woman in the employ of the United
States government.
Miss Reel is a native of Pittsfield,
ILL.,, and received her first education In
that town.

RUMMAGE SALES ARE FILTHY
Means Of Raising Money for Charity
Which Is Severely Condemned by
Washington Physicians.

In Washington one OF the chief ex-
pedients for raising funds for churches
| and charitable work Is a 'rummage
| sale" For months before the sale
! comes off the committee on ways and
means for the different organizations
scour the city from richest to poor
est homes. asking for old furniture,
| pictures. clothing, kitchen utensils,
dishes, books, anything, in fact. that
people have to give away that people
little less better of in the world
than they will be willing to pay
scandalousIy low sum for. This sort
of way of raising money is very Sc
verely condemned by local physicians.
who say that it is one of the fruitful
sources of spreading disease.
So 1t is just a little odd to read
that the Duchess of Marlboro, Com
suelo Vanderbilt, at Sunderland
House. gave what is styled in the
London papers as "one of the most
brilliant charity functions of the sea
son." and what do you suppose this
brilliant function" was? No. more
nor less than a rummage sale OF
dresses, household furnishings and
furniture, jewels, hats and all sorts
of things gathered from society wom-
en- for sale. These clothes had been
collected during a number of months
and taken to the bone for prisoners
wives and children, and there made
over for sale.
This is charity which is entirely
maintained by our American Duchess
Consuelo, and the inmates OF the
home are allowed to remain in 1T
throughout the entire term for which
their male relatives are imprisoned.
While the duchess is taking care of
them in this home these women are
taught all kinds of domestic duties,
including dressmaking, millinery, etc.
One of the remarkable things in con-
nection with this function is an elab-
crate description of the even more
elaborate toilets worn by the high
browed ladies, duchesses, countesses
and on down to plain honorables and
misses who attended the function.
Tea was served to all the guests in
the wonderful oak-paneled dining
room. Now what do you think of
that?

strength of a powerful horse, visited
several of the stables that use the
finest horses in Paris, and in those
of a good trucking company he se-
lected an eight-year-old Percheron
which for three years had been en-
gagged continually In hauling cut stone
for building purposes. This horse
seemed to him the most powerful in
Paris. He tested the animal and II

CECIL RHODES, DREAMER

W. T Stead tells the world of the dream of Cecil Rhodes as set forth in a will made by the latter when he was twenty-four years old, whereby he be- queathed fortune he had not yet made to be used by society not yet formed. for the purpose of unifying the Eng lish speaking race Of verity young Rhodes was a colossal dreamer. at least. He gained enormous wealth. added vast Rhodesia to the British Empire and rendered the union of south Africa unavoidable.
 Of interest to Americans is Rhodes notion of how the reunion of the United States and Great Britain was to be brough about. It was immaterial to Rhodes whether the capital of the re- united race was to be Washington or London. He even reckoned on Britain and her colonies seeking admission to our Federation as states There Rhodes hit upon the only possible manner of reunion. impossible though the reunion itself seems to be.
 The great Africander was not merely an audacious dreamer, but one of the half dozen great performers of his time And his dream has influenced the destinies of nations, the future of the world For. without Rhodes South Africa today would be rent between Boers and English. while the British idea of federated Empire would still be backward
 Perhaps our Presidential system is inferior in some respects to the British Cabinet system: but our Fedration is A long step ahead of the British con federate system And if the British ever accomplish their desire of an Empire in fact as we'll as sentiment. our model.
 Moreover, as Rhodes himself saw. the only manner in which a union of the English speaking would could be achieved would be by the constituent units of the Empire seeking entrance into our Republic as States. That process would transfer the political capital of the Greater Britain from Westminster to Washington. as inevi- tably the commercial and financial capital is shifting from London to New York

OUR COAL CONSPIRACY

John Bullock. Ghas F.. Huston ana several more of our early day coal harons have been indicted for con- spiracy and defraudms the govern ment Of s5o.ooo on an alleged coal con tract by forming combination.
 TO th. lay man there IS no such thing as tw" dealers forming a combine. being called a conspi acy. it is business pure and simple. We know nothing of the merits of the case at this end of the line, but we will go on record that neither John T. Bullock. Chas. F. Huston or any other person will ever be convicted of conspiracy in this par ticular case
 Forming combinations is what Is going on in every walk of life The la boring classes form combinations called unions to hold up the employer. the grocery man forms combinations to boost up the prices of different com mndities, the steamship companies form combinations to keep up the l'''a'iiN'i iAt'Ss tl' l'illTtdhS ho tnt same thing In fact. in this commer- ciai age it is one vast combination. or conspiracy to do the other fellow.
 1T John Bullock entered into a com hine with the Northwestern Commer- cial Company to boost up the price of coal sold to Uncle sam and they could make il stick. it is no more conspiracy than when other combinations of capi- tal get together to boost up price. Capital is ever guilty of conspiracy against the working people why not go after them II the people as a whole form the government, We being gov ernment of the majority. Is il q greater crime to combine to raise the prices against Uncle sam. than it is against the people?
 The lay man will have to be in structed as to the conspiracy, in this particular case against Uncle sam. when the government tolerates the daily conspiracy against the people The Very beef. or an inferior quality IS sold here in the United States for to Sc Der pound more than the choice export meat. dressed here in our mar kets and shipped abroad is sold in foreign markets. Why is thiso Re- cause of combination of capital. or men getting together, forming a con spiracy as il is called in the Alaska Coal Contract ease and boosting the price of meat sky high here at home and in the open foreign market abroad where they cannot combine. sell it sev- eral cents per pound cheaper after the additional cost of transportation has been taxed against it.
 True the students of political eco nomy will tell us it is merely provld- ing market for our surplus but would there be any surplus if the price Of meat was put down to the same figure where many of those who now have to go without. could nartalxe of it?
 We will await with interest the out come of this suit and if there is con spiracy in this particular ease il win open up broad avenue. wherein il is nothing more than conspiracy to form unions to hold up the man who is forced to employ labor. and the thou sand and one other combinations to get a little better figurr for the com modity on sale
