That cats occasionally suck the
breath of sleeping persons is a per
sistent belief as recent news items in
dictate. Recently the story was told
of a cat nearly strangling an infant
and the fact was explained on the sup
position that the child's milk-laden
breath had attracted the animal. But
from New York comes the story of a
man brought near to the point OF
death by cat that used his bosom as
a couch and his chin as pillow. II
is not impossible that his breath was
milk-laden. but it is somewhat improb
able. Without making any insinua
tons. one may be pardoned for won
dering whether or not the cat had
been raised in saloon.

The spider that made bold to sit
down beside little Muffit must have
been very terrible spider to frighten
her from the dish Of curds and whey
Miss Mufit lived in the time when lit

nuts and fruit. They were healthy

them. The present day little Miss
Muffits would be better OF If they ate
them.

Disease is In.
known.
EXPERIMENTS CONTINUE
State Of Illinois Has Commission
Which is Trying to Probe the
Matter to The !.
Bottom.

While KeOkuk is yet to have he1
first pellagra victim, there is consid
trable interest in the disease here and
1t Is bound to come unless some stop
Is put to it. The item in Monday eve
nlng's issue, telling of the findings of
the Illinois commission that corn
could not be held responsible was in
terestlng as will be the following more
extended report Of the verdict:
Indian maize OR corn of the variety
that Illinois grows and is feeding to
the world is in no manner responsible
for pellagra. that mysterious disease
which has been perpleXing medical
men of many countries for years, ac-
cording to the first report of the ILL
nois commission. which is in readiness
for presentation to the legislature.
This fact has been demonstrated
almost beyond doubt by the commits
sion, which, in its preliminary report,
will ask the legislature to appropriate
$4,000 with which to prosecute its re-
searches during the coming two years.
Its Importance lies in the fact. that
1t contains the information that corn
in none of its conditions is the cause
of this disease.
Illinois is the first state in the union
to recognize the disease officially and
to make official investigation Of its
origin. Soon after pellagra was found
to be SO prevalent at the Peoria State
Hospital for the Insane, where many
deaths have been recorded, Governor
Deenep named medical men to make a
thorough inquiry.
Concerning the corn theory, the
commission says:
"The chief bone of contention all OF
the time has been as to the role
played by the use of corn in its pro-
duction. In the assumption that the
corn diet induced the disease, the gov
eminent has spent vast sums OF
money In trying to regulate the quail.
ity and quantity of corn used and in
educating the people on this question
"The experiment with corn was
made at the Peoria State Hospital.
Two squads OF patients were taken,
each numbering fifty-nine.
Each squad was placed in cottage
by itself. The members of the squad
ranged in ages from 81 to 70 years,
with an average of 40 years. They
were taken from the demented, untidy
class, as these seemed to be more sus-
ceptible to the disease. Careful eX-
animation was made to determine
that none of them ever had shown
symptoms of the disease or had none
at the time.
''One squad was placed on an ex-
cessive corn diet. From the other
squad corn was excluded absolutely.
"A personal chart was kept of each
patient, noting carefully the following
points:
Examination OF faces. semi-month-
ly weights, mental condition as to
mania and stupor, physical conditions.
"The experiment was CARED on for
a whole year without interruption.

Yesterday The Wing says:
That the citizens of Quincy ganer-
ally are satisfied with the present
form OF city government was shown
Yesterday when the vote was taken
upon the proposition for the adop-
ton OF the commission form of mu.
nicipal government. which was given
a most pronounced defeat. 1t failed
to carry by majority of 1876 votes,
or nearly at the rate Of 2 to L..
Although it was anticipated that
the proposition would be beaten, the
result was even surprise to those
who we're opposed to it, without say
ing anything of the surprise
that was sprung or those
who had been behind the
movement, and who confidently ex-
pected that it would go through. The
managers of the adoption campaign
were sanguine until it came time for
the votes to be counted at the closing
of the polls las. night. It had been
expected that the vote would be much
lighter than usual and that the large
end of the voting would be done by
those who were interested in its pas
sage, while the opposition would dis.
play an attitude OF apathy.
Opposition Was Interested.
On the contrary, however, the OPP
position was interested and got out
10 vote, swelling the total number
Of votes cast up larger than they
usually are. The figures showed last
night that 5,S9S votes were cast. The
vote cast at the last mayoralty cleo
ton was in the neighborhood. One
noticeable feature, also, was the fact
that the opposition did not have any
workers in the field to get out the
vote. while the committee which was
behind the movement did have num-
Der OF workers out, and made good
use OF automobiles to help get the
voters to the polls.
Lost in Every Ward.
When the votes were counted last
night it was found that the proposi-
ton had carried in only four pre-
cincts of the city, and that it lost in
every ward.
The First, Sixth and Seventh wards
especially we're figured on piling up
good totals for the plan. The Seventh
came nearer passing than any Of
them. The precincts that carried were
the Second in the First ward, by g.:
the Third precinct in the First ward
by 6 votes; the Twenty-third in the
Sixth ward. by |, and the Twenty
fourth in the Seventh Ward, by 1O4
votes.

The church Is here. not in heaven

Interested in community welfare on the
basic principle that her own welfare
depends on it. But her business is that
of community welfare; her duty is not
to determine what heaven shall be like
but to get people heavenly. and TO do
this there must be provided the condi-
tons which help people TO become de-
cent and high minded. Community
welfare means more than making roads
good for motors and houses attractive

the conditions and forces OF life in
community work together most eff

best possible type of humanity. 1t
means making communities competent

CARNATIONS, like the Grange. that re-

best. Spiritual growth is promoted in
the farm home through associated eff

workings together broadcns and ex-
