About School Lunches.

IF there is one thing more than an
other which IS apt to grow HOMOGENEOUS
II is the school lunch. Invariably It
consists Of sandwich or two, some
cake and piece Of fruit.
This is wholesome and sensible as
far as it goes, but too many mothers
forget to widen the scope Of this trio.
The sandwich, for instance, may be
most tc1nptingly made and new ideas
be called upon to make it more attrac-
tive. Instead Of one good sized SAND
wich try making two or three smaller
ones of thin bread cut in round, square
or diamond shapes. One may use
chopped nuts, peanut butter, celery
and mayonnaise, chopped olives, dates,
figs or pruncs, finely minced cress or
lettuce as we'll as the more proSalc
roast beef, cold chicken. lamb, tongue
or ham. Cheese, too, IS nourishing
and delicious. One might include q
cheese sandwich, for instance, with
one OF meat or lettuce. Then when
they are made and ready to be packed
don't forget that covering OF tissue
or oiled paper will keep the bread
fresher and the sandwich dalntier.
Vury the bread too. Use the whole
wheat or brown bread or even rye
bread occasionally if the child likes
#. Butter thinS or biscuits make a
rJaosant change. from the plain white
bread.
Crisp little cookies or small cakes
are often easier to carry aud carry bet
ter than layer cakes.

ATTACKS THE INITIATIVE.
Brief in Supreme Court Maintains il
is Unconstitutional Telephone
Company Interested.

The task OF attempting to put an end
to all initiative and referendum leglsla'
ton ia this country was begun yester-
day in the Supreme Court Of the United
States. Council for the Pacific States
Telephone and Telegraph Company
filed brief with the court attacking q
taxing law OF Oregon because it was en-
acted by virtue OF the initiative OF the
state constitution, which is alleged to
be in violation OF the federal constltu-
ton.
1t is urged first that the failure. OF
the company to have hearing before
the raising OF its taxes by the initiative
method placed tho telephone;company
at disadvantage with others taxed al
ter being heard by the state legislature.
In this way it was claimed equal pro-
lection OF the laws was denied it.
The initiative amendment and the
Oregon tax we're denounced in the brief
as violative OF the right OF republican
form OF government, which was guaran'
teed by the federal constitution. 1t
was contended that in legislative as
semblies the minority rarely, if ever,
fails to moderate the wishes of the ma
jority. however powerful, but that
government by direct legislation is
government by brute force. Governor
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, was
quoted as saying that government
must have lis law making body, as, 1t
can no more make law through It's
voters than it can make law through its
newspaper"
Reference was made to the claim that
the initiative method OF legislation is
check against corruption OF legislators.
1T were better" the telephone com
pany commended, that the struggle
against abuse and corruption should
contipne than that they should be
eradcated by the cries and practices OF
a government revolutionary in charac-
tes and founded on error or injustice.
Replying to the contention that the
initiative is reserve power for rare
use, the attacking brief quoted from
the election records OF Oregon to show
that in 1904 two measures were on the
ballot; in 1906. II; in 1908, 10, and in
1910, 80.
Tt was asserted that no despot or
monarch would be permitted to ruleain
any commonwealth OF the nation, and
yet the "despotism OF the multitude is
as arbitrary and complete as the abso-
lutism OF a despot." In this connec-
ton President Taft's views regarding
the rights of the minority as expressed
in his recent veto OF the Arizona state
hood resolution were quoted.

MASSAGE For Nauehtiness.

Massage For Nauehtiness.
Almost invariably when child Is
cross or naughty it is not feeling quite
we'll.
This fact appears to be recognized
in Japan. There If child is naughty
or su:hy it's parent does not scold IL OF
whip it, but sends it out to be mas
saced. And in short time the chlld
comes back in the best of humor.
A we'll known worker. whose expe-
rience both Of Japan and Of matters OF
education is very wide, told a neWspa-
Der representative that she Is con-
WINGED Of the efficacy Of the Japanese
treatment. 1T may seem funny on
the face Of it." she stated, Ito massage
q child for naughdness. But, then, IL
the causes Of naughtiness are physical
suitable remedies must be applied.
Very often the irritability Of children
arises from the fact that their stom-
achs are disordered."
And really the japanese plan IS
worth a trial. Parents would propa-
bly be surprised at the result. One
can imagine the conversations at
breakfast and lunch between husband
and wife. At breakfast the wife OBJ
serves: johnny IS very naughty this
morning, my dear. l think you muse
punish him severely" The husband:
ooh no. that Is out Of date. His little
stomach is upset. He must be mas
sared." At lunch, the husband, AND
how is Johnny now?" The wife, "Oh,
he was massagcd, and in half an hour
he had an angel temper"
But could not tie idea be applied TO
crownups rs we'll as children?

OLD AGE PENSIONS.
German Critic Pronounces Them lni-
mical to Thrift.

In view of the fact that German So
cial legislation is so often regarded as
a model on which other countries
should shape similar provision for the
working classes, it is starting To find
an eminent German authority on the
subject. Privy Councillor Friedensburg.
who formerly held a high post in the
imperial state insurance department
condemns in sweeping terms the entire
system of old age, accident and SICK
pensions which exists in this country.
His article will appear in the Zeit-
schrift fur Politik. says a Berlin cor
respondent in the London Standard.
HERE Friedensburg declares that
there is no longer any trace of the en-
thusiasrn with which this class of leg
islatiOn was greeted on its Inaugural
ton 80 years ago. This is due partly
to the colossal financial burdens which
have been heaped on the nation by the
readiness with which expenditure was
incurred at the beginning. and partly
owing to the complete breakdown Of
the pensions system as a means of
alleviating the hardships of the de-
serving poor State pensions in Ger
many, instead of educating the masses
in thrift by inducing them TO take
part in some provision for their old
age or invalidity. have exercised by
Observation-Disclosures, the writer declares,
a wholesale pauperizing influence on
the nation. Many receive pensions
without deserving them. many more
receive compensations for accidents
which are entirely unconnected with
their factories or workshops; many
desiring state pensions stimulate In
validity in order to obtain them. with
the result that he national eXchequer
is burdened with enormous but unjust
flied charges.

ly any of the villains of history re-
main as black as they were formerly
painted, says the ST. Louis Dis
patch. Lucretia 'BOrgia, thanks to a
tardy justice, was not a monster Nero
was really not a bad sort. Even Judas
Iscariot is made to appear in better
light than that in which we have been
accustomed to seeing him. 1t really
does us great credit. We ourselves
shall wish to be seen, not in the light
of days TO come, but in that OF our
own time.
Let us, for instance, take the case
of single person of our time whose
reputation could not have passed
through the blackening process of the
dark ages without having become in
finitely worse than he ever deserved.
We will use for this purpose the repu-
tation of Speaker Cannon. Here we
have what the uglier tendencies of
former times would have eventually
turned out veritable Machiavelli;
when, as a good example of our kind

villain in the popular eye today than
he was six months ago. Like CagliOs-
tro and some others, Mr.. Cannon is
not evil itself, as would formerly have
been supposed, but the product of evil.
That is, nurtured in republicanism and
environed by the trusts, he has never
had any fair dealing advantages.
Thank goodness, we are able to see
that, and there is even now scarcely
any personal equation at all. More

POSTOFFICE is
A VERY BUSY PLACE
s57, 400 Pieces Of Mail Were Handled
in May.

There is probably not a person In
Abilene, outside Of employees Of the
Abilene postoffice, who would believe
that the Abilene office in a single
month handles over one third
million pieces of United States gov
eminent mail.
This is a fact, nevertheless, and
during the month of May, 1911, the
Abilene postoffice handled S67,4O6
pieces of mail. 1t is proper to say
in addition to this that the month OF
May was one Of the short months
for postoffice business. The month
of May is usually one Of the very
smallest of any month in the year
The above figures were obtained
by actual count of all the mail hand
led during the month, and 1t is the
first time such a count was made at
the Abilene postoffice. Every other
postoffice in the United States, es-
pecially the first class offices, also
kept a count on the mail handled
The count here was made by order
of the treasury department at Wash
ington, with view to arriving at
the estimated cost and time 1t takes
to handle the mails. The order had
to do with the retrenchment policy
begun a year ago in the postoffice
department.
other figures obtained from the
May count, which are taken from the
report of Postmaster R. Waring
which he has forwarded to WASH
ington, will doubtless be particularly
interesting. Some of the more in
teresting figures follow:
The city carriers and the postoffice
force handled 1891 pieces Of out
going mail and 167,S4S pieces of In
coming mail. For the outgoing mail
it required S1S7 minutes, for the
incoming 29134 minutes. The aver
age number Of pieces per minute
was 11h outgoing, 6K incoming
The former averages handling Sh
times, the latter ~ times. The
rural carries handled 1890 pieces
Of outgoing and sO,4O7 incoming
Four flfths of the mail in number
was of first class matter-sealed
letters. With the handling Of 1870
pieces Of mail a day It is readily seen
that the pOstoffice is rather busy
