The session of the present legislature, and
the probability that many Of the measures it
will pass will later be declared invalid by the
Supreme Court suggests that it might be good
idea if some sort of law commission were
created whose functions would be the prepara-
tion Of all bills proposed to be introduced in
the law-making body. The member Of the legis-
lature, with a new bill buzzing in his head,
would simply go before the commission tell it
what he wanted, and leave to it the task of
drawing up his measure in some sort Of shape
that would pass the criticism Of the highest
court. The reason many laws are knocked
"galey-west' in the courts is because their
trainers were inexperienced in the work "A
commission Of this sort might overcome this
weakness Of our present system.

Higher Efficiency.

The railroad managers Of the country got
jolt when, at a session Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, they were told that the trans
portation corporations needed higher efficiency in
their management rather than higher rates; and
that today they losing something over
three hundred millions a year that they might
save, were they managed properly. A lawyer,
Louis D. Brandeis, gave them this cheering infor-
nation. And when it was suggested to him by
the assembled railroad men that he undertake
the job Of saving this money, he obligingly as
sented to the proposition
The suggestion, radical as it may seem, was
not the idea of mere dabbler and expert
menter. Mr.. Brandeis, as the exponent of the
modern doctrine Of increased efficiency in the
conduct Of industrial enterprises, has intro
dnced his theories into several Of the leading
industries of the East with such success that he
has cut the operating cost down by a consider
able percentage. He has proven that there are
good many leaks in the practical manage
ment of many of our industries.
OF course the intimaton to the railroad men
that they did not know their own business was
not i pleasant thing for them. They rather
imagined that they knew it all. But it some
times happens that the on0oker can see things
that the man running the machine overlools
altogether

Ii the price Of meat in future is to be main
tanned at high-water notch--as some of the
economists argue-then the obvious remedy for
the American people is to adopt dietary in
which flesh does not play so important part,
the people Of Europe have been compelled
to do. After ALL it might not be bad thing
to do, if, as is claimed we eat too much meat,
anyway If we enjoy better health at
cheaper price, why, let us choose the better
health

lures in a compact and portable fornl-if they
can be carried in the coat pocket all the better.

That is a novel idea-but, on the whole, apt
to prove rather good suggested by Gov.
johnson of California, who proposes to come
out every week with "chats" " to the people of
the state on matters of common interest. The
governor proposes to use the weekly papers Of
the state as his medium The idea is an. alto
gether new one but is likely to prove popular
innovation. The average voter will take it as
a compliment that the chief executive of the
state values his opinion SO highly, which all
makes for the popularity Of the present govern
or The practical value of the suggestion lies
in the fact that the discussion Of public issues
provoked by the governors plan will keep him
in close touch with public sentiment

JUDGE TELLS HOW
TO AVOID DIVORCE.
Gives List of Instructions For Wives
and Advice For Husbands.

Judge Petit of Chicago has come TO
the conclusion that parents of young
married people are largely to blame
for family troubles.
The mothers-in-law are foremost
trouble makers" said the Judge. Il
/ have ali reverence for mothers and
motherhood. but they must not argue
with their daughter-in-law or sOn-in-
law, but must realize that they are in
dividuals and have their work to do
/ in the world Mother can give advice
when asked for it,
But summer resorts. winter resorts
and fat life can be blamed for many
J divorces.
ut is bad for husband and wife to
be separated by trips away from
( home.
MY advice to husbands who wish to
avoid divorce is this:
Don't quote mother.
call up your wife while at business
and ask how she is and say you called
/ her up just to hear her voice.
Give her box Of candy
lone of the new books that she is
interested in.
"A flower. even if it is faded and
you have picked it up off the street.
"A pretty pin or handkerchief.
And don't ever lay your head on
your pillow at night without having
done something to gain and obtain a
frmer hold on your wifes love.
kiss hpr pVprV d9v
AT least once a month meet her
downtown and take her to dinner and
the theater.
Don't you ever stop counting. for
as soon as you do some other man
will begin.
Make your wife your companion.
Take her out with you and when
you have TO have a big time take your
wife along. and the divorce evil will
be lessened.
For the wives should advise:
Don't quote father.
pet your husband; he is only a big
kid
Meet him at the door with smile.
Dress carefully as you did when
he came counting.
Wear the color he likes you in and
the style of gown.
Have something in the way OF
surprise dish for dinner.
Read the papers and magazines and
be your husbands intellectual equal.
Keep up with him in any special
line of work.
Encourage his hobby.
Re sympathetic and do not tell him
all the troubles Of the day; he has had
his own. more significant and impor-
tant individually than all yours put
together.
Keep his clothes in order. clean
house and good food.
Your husband is then yours forever
and ever. No chorus girl or pretty
stenographer can take him away from
you. But keep him or somebody else
will snap him up and make him think
she and she alone ever did or will I'M
derstand him"

PLAN DOUBLE DECK STREET
Two Levels Proposed For Michigan

Following a luncheon at the La Sale
hotel. participated in by city officials
and the members Of the Chicago plan
commission. a decision was reached
adopting the double deck plan for i'm
proving Michigan avenue from RAN
dOIph street across the Chicago river
on the north to Ohio street.
The plan decided on calls for a dou-
BILE deck bascule bridge over the river.
At either approach to the elevated
boulevard It is proposed to build a
plaza 222 feet square.
The upper deck of the new boule-
ward will be used exclusively for light
traffic. and all heavy traffic will be dl-
verified to the lower level In this way
the elevation will not interfere with
the traffic incident to the wholesale
district near the river but will be an
aid to the heavy teaming by removing
all automobile and light traffic to the
higher level.

DECAY OF THE TEETH.

Lime Starvation the Basic Cause, Says
 Chemist.
 "The almost universal decay of the teeth is proof positive that our nation is suffering lime starvation" writes 8 chemistry lecturer in the Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette.
 "Our dentists prescribe tooth washes and tooth pastes. advocate local hygl enc, fill cavities and fit bridges. and all this time ignore the fact that the basic cause is lime starvation.
 Dentists will tell you that the sugar you take in your mouth acts directly upon your teeth. Dentists shut their eyes to the evident fact that decay starts first in the pulp beneath the in tact enamel and hOneycOmbS the in- terior tooth until the Shell-like bridge of enamel breaks beneath the strain.
 "The enamel gives absolute protec- tion against the external attacks of acids and sugar l have immersed sound teeth for months in solution of fruit acids and sugar and have been unable to detect any erosion of either the enamel or the pulp.
 "When you eat sweetmeats the sug- ar, with its irresistible affinity for soluble lime. combines with the cal cfum of the blood. and the blood re- taliates by sapping the soluble from the pulp and substance of the teeth. Druggists make use of this affinity of soluble lime for sugar when preparing the official sirup of lime. Lime forms solution thirty times stronger in simple sirup than in the same quantity of water. If you want your children to have sound. white teeth. see that their diet is rich in lime and poor in sugar"

The Indian fruit cuckoo, which, like all members of the cuckoo family, lays its eggs in the nests of other birds and thus avoids the trouble of matching them, is said to exhibit a great deal of strategy in dealing with crows, it's nat ural enemies. Whereas the hen, an inconspicuous, speckled gray bird, con- ceals herself in the foliage, the cock, remarkable for his brilliant black plumage and crimson eyes, places him. self on a perch near a crows nest and sets up great racket. The crows inn mediately rush out to attack him, and
 he takes to light with them in pursuit, The hen meanwhile slips into the nest and deposits an egg, Sometimes the crows return before the egg is laid.

SAVAGE SPORT.
Skipping Game of the Bontoc Igorrote'
 1In;mna TaN$Ae%

Skipping Game of the Bontoc Igorrotes
 Unique Contest.
 Every nation has it's own idea of sport. That of the wild Igorrotes o1 northern Luzon used to consist prin- cipally of head hunting. a grisly and bloody recreation which the American occupation discouraged. But not all the pastimes of the Igorrotes are as horrible as this. One rather amusing game of which they are fond is thus described by Dean c. Worcester in the National Geographic Magazine:
 A constabulary officer tells US that If we want to see unique contest we must ask for the skipping game of the Bontoc Igorrotes. We want to see all there is going and say so.
 A wooden bench is brought out, and two 1.-the and muscular young men step forward. One of them squats on the bench. grasping his right thigh in his hands so as to tighten the muscles as much as possible.
 The other stands beside him and stretches out his right arm. He throws his arm back and then sweeps 1t forward in a full round arm swing. The blow falls on thin air, close to the frightened thigh muscles of his oppo- nent
 He now swings his arm back again, his whole body turning with 1t; rises on the toes of his left foot and puts every ounce of strength which he pos sesses into blow delivered with the flat of his hand upon the rigid thigh of his opponent. Knots of muscle spring out on his arm, back and legs as he strikes and the blow cracks like a revolver shot.
 The recipient endeavors, sometimes with poor success, to preserve an ex- pression of contemptuous indifference. The judges examine his thigh. If the blow has been hard enough blood will show just beneath the skin and he will not have the stisfaction of taking a whack at his opponent. but if this result has not been achieved the other must take his seat on the bench and submit to be smitten.
 The contest continues until one suc- ceeds in producing the bloody mark on the other.

A EinA Sauana Custom.

The untutored mind of the Indian or savage often appears strange to us. but there is sometimes reason in what at first sight seems eccentric. A South African tribe has an effectual method of dealing with bores. which might be adopted by western people. This simple tribe considers long speeches injurious both to the orator and his hearers. so to protect both there is an unwritten law that every public orator must stand on one leg only when he is addressing an audi ence. As soon as he has to place the other leg on the ground his oration is brought to a close.-London Globe.

A Christmas Poem from Weber's

If Santa Claus ran short of toys, Wherewith to please the girls and boys, There is place not far away Where he could more than fill his sleigh. For there are DOLLS of every size, And every shade of hair and eyes; Sweet, darling dolls for tiny girls, And Stylish dolls with puffs and curls. DOLL CARRIAGES, DOLL HOUSES, too, With rooms all furnished nice and new; DOLL TRUNKS, for travelling out of town, DOLL BEDS, for dollies to lie down; Throughout all Dolldom there is not. A happier more delightful spot If you should seek the country o'er, Than WEBER'S BIG WEST MAIN
 STREET STORE.
 Then for the boys there are, Oh, my! It's something of a job to try To tell in such little space The treasures of this wond'rous place. TRUMPETS and DRUMS, and GAMES
 and GUNS,
 Fine POCKET KNIVE, (real cutting ones,) And CHESTS OF TOOLS that you can use To make most anything you choose. SHEDS, WAGONS, BANKS and STORES to sell
 Real goods, CASH REGISTERS as we'll; Of MAGIC LANTERNS there are all The newest kinds, both big and small Then there are TROLLEY CARS and
 TRAINS,
 And ''sure 'nough'' flying AEROPLANES; And several hundred playthings more At WEBER'S BIG WEST MAIN STREET
 STORE.
