Charge of improper Conduct.
Macon, Cain tears and with his
voice broken by sobs, United States
Judge Emeory Speer from the bench
answered the attack made on him as
a Judge by Colonel w A. Huff, for ten
years mayor of Macon. Huff had de-
manded the impeachment Of Judge
Speer, whose defense was made when
Colonel Huff was arraigned on the
charge Of contempt which had been
brought by Speer because of Huff's
allegations. Judge Speer declared he
would not pass on the contempt
charge he had preferred against Huff,
but would permit some other Federal
Judge to decide the question. Huff is
out on bond,
Judge Speer denied he had gone to
Eagle River, Alaska, at the expense OF
Huffs receiver. He said he paid his
own way going and coming and that

per cent. in value during its thirteen
wears in the custody OF the court.
Judge Speer admitted the Huf estate
had been held by the court for an un-
usual time, but denied the delay was
for purposes of grating. Popular feel
ing seems TO be entirely with Colonel
Huff and there is little doubt that
Congress will be asked to investigate
the charges.

Our meats come from a more Q

bakers and mostly starch), mashed
or fried potatoes, (mostly starch),
meats and gravy, and probably some
factory canned fruits and vegetables

food is too highly concentrated, too
complex, it doesn't contain enough
"roughening" or debris to stimulate
the bowels to- activity. Gases form

degree, but not enough.
Many who live on a farm get prac-
tically the same diet as those who
live in the city. 1t is not uncom-

cry made pastries and factory can
ned foods on the farmers table.
If we are contented to subsist OIL

FOOD AND CONSTIPATION

Your grandparents and mine had
to earn their living for the most part
by hard manual labor, and usually
out of doors at that. The struggles
gave them strong, vigorous bodies
and an appetite to match. Their di-
gestive organs could handle almost
anything short of grindstones and
wedges. Their diet for the most part
was simple and wholesome. Only on
special and infrequent occasions did
they have rich and complex dishes,
even then those dishes were made by
the wife and mother out of clean and
wholesome ingredients. Their corn
meal was ground at the grist mill
down on the river, and often their
wheat was ground into -four by the
same mill-real whole wheat -four.
They weren't enervated to any great
extent, by living in houses that lack
ed proper ventilation, for their hous .
es had great freplaces, and usually
enough cracks and crevices to insure
good ventilation.
If any slight illness prevailed in
the family, the ailing one was given
non-poisonous herb remedies COM
pounded in the kitchen. If a doctor
was called he gave stuff that in taste
and smell defed description, but it
was usually non-poisonous. Some
times the results we're a profound
dislike for the doctor and his "dope''
on the part of the patient.
What do you and I get in the shape
Of food9 Do we get good whole
some, home prepared, unsophisticat-
ed foods? Well, hardly, unless we
make a special effort and then we arc
not sure of it. Our bread is made
from -four that has passed through
seventeen (more or less) rollers an
cloth sieves which have taken from
it most everything but the starch.

Whereas, This Society has includ-

foremost men of the Territory and
State, who have labored long and
zealously to promote the objects of
the association and to gather and
preserve for future generations the
invaluable records, archives and
monuments pertaining to this great
commonwealth; and
Whereas, Through the earnest and
faithful work Of the members Of this
Society there has been gathered and
preserved vast amount of data and
historical material (including a IL
brary Of more than 100000 volumes,
considered one of the best historical
libraries in the United States), of
priceless value to the citizens Of this
state, a great portion of which could
not be replaced in case Of loss, or
deterioration from want Of proper
care or protection, and this work is
still going on, each year witnessing
important additions to this collec-
ton; and
Whereas, The rooms now occupied
by this Society in the basement Of the
new Capitol Building, on account of
the great quantity and rapid increase
of this historical material have be-
come inadequate and unfit for the
purposes of this organization, and it
has been necessary to box up and
store in sub-basement large am
ount of valuable material that should
be classified, arranged and displayed
by the Society, for the use and bene-
fit Of the public; and -.
Whereas, There are no other rooms
or space that can be set apart or
available in the Capitol Building for
these purposes, and the rooms now
occupied by this Society are greatly
needed by some other important De-
partments Of the State Government,
in fact, many portions of the Cap
itol' are now overcrowded by reason
of the increase Of departments in
the state government, and some
