NEW LEASE LAW
FOR AGRICULTURAL LANDS

Pierre, April 27.-The lease books
from the various counties of the
state are in the state land depart
ment, and show that there has been
little difference in the leasing prices
for this year and last year. While in
individual leases the lease price was
run up pretty we'll, the general av-
erage was about the same, regardless
of the higher prices secured on sales.
This is caused no doubt by the fact
that the department made only one
year leases this season This on &C
count of the new law providing for
leases for agricultural purposes.
This law will be put into practical
operation in the leases of next year,
and five year leases will be made
both for agricultural and grazing
purposes, and on term leases, the
lease returns will no doubt show a
material gain over any received in
past years. In fact if the theory of
those who endorsed agricultural
leases proves correct the amount
brought to the income fund from
that source next year should run well
into the thousands.

.'RAGTINlE DROP" LATEST
IN PITCHERS ART.

New York, April 27.-For once in
the history of baseball, a fan has
come to the front with suggestion
which Manager John j. McGraw, of
the New York Nationals, believes will
be of practical use. A fan named
Wayburn, after watching the game
for many years, has invented the
"rag-time DROP" which he main
tains is virtually impossible to hit
except by mere chance.
Wayburn went up to the Polo
Grounds for the practice period yes
terday morning and, putting on glove
and mask, instructed "Rube'' Mar
guard in its use. Mike Donlin's the
once hard hitter, was on hand also.
and Marquard, using the 'rag-time,"
struck out the former captain Of the
giants four times.
According to Manager McGraw,
Marquard is the only pitcher who
will be invested with the synocopated
secret for the present, and he is ex-
pecting to win many game with 1t
before it becomes common property.

HONORABLE BEAN NOW
DENOUNCED BY BOSTON MAN
Scores oysters and Beef Extract
As Worthless and a Need
less Expense.

Boston, April 27.-The baked bean
that has mode Boston famous, the
succulent oyster and beef extract,
were branded as being injurious or
of no food value by DR.. DR.. Franklin
While, lecturing at the Harvard
medical school on digestion" He
claimed that people could live more
successfully on half the quantity OF
food taken. Professor John H.
Woods of Cambridge also aimed a
blow at the high cost of living by
claiming that a 12cent meal suffices
for a days work.
ut is a hard thing to say in Bos-
ton,' DR.. White allowed, "but beans
are VIGOROUSLY hard to digest. They
may be an excellent diet for one lead
ing an active outdoor life. While
oysters eaten raw are digestible,
they are practically of no food val
ue, for they are mostly water.
81 always feel that it is pathetic to
see people buying beef extracts for
invalid foods, knowing, as I do, that
they cost so much and contain SO
little of any value.
"Twenty-fve cents worth of beef
Juice will yield only six parts of food
value to the body, while rs cents
worth of eggs will yield 700 parts,
and rs cents worth of milk 1900
parts of real food value to the hui
man system.
Meat that is cooked rare is di-
gested by the stomach in two hours,
that which is half roasted takes
three hours, and that which is Who'll
ly roasted requires four hours to d.
gest.
A 12-cent BREAKFAST is all the nour-
ishment Professor Woods of % IN
man street, Cambridge, who is 66
years old, requires to do days work
consisting of twelve hours reading
and study and a ten or fifteen-mile
walk.
Professor Woods sits down to his
daily meal at $50 a. m. He is serv-
ed with cereal, a soup, four slices
Of wheat bread, and four glasses OF
milk, one of which is hot.
For cereal the professor always
eats oatmeal; for soup he likes pea,
tomato, or corn chowder, and for
dessert, pies and buildings. His bill
for these averages but IL cents. He
never drinks anything except milk.
For years he has not taken drink
of water except on hot summer days
and then sparingly.

Did you ever stop to think how
important, how necessary and how
extensive the mining industry real

products and by-products represent
two-t'.irds of the commercial! inter

responsible for the existence of the

suit OF mining. The brass or iron
bed in which you sleep, the springs
you cook, the pan in which your
