MAG6ALENA BAY.

There Is a great deal written on the
remarkable Mexican harbor about
which centers interest It present-be-
ana Of persistent rumors that powers
foreign to this continent are seeking
to get a foothoId there because Of its
strategic value. MagdaIena bay is
an Inlet Of the sea forty miles in
length and Of varying width. It is
protected from the Pacific by a wide
bar-and is one of the best harbors in
the world. rs
When the American feet sailed
around the world several years ago,
it stopped at MagdaIena bay for man
days. Every effort was made at that
time By the American government to
show what q magnificent refuge for
warships the Lower California inlet
Affords. The educational value of the
fleets visit was great. Since that time
few Americans have remained in fg-
noranee Of the importance of MagdaI-
lens bay as a naval center and coaIing
station.
Scarcely a week passes that rumors
r not circulated of Japan's desire to
control Magdalena bay-and of alleged
efforts on the part Of Japan to buy the
bay from Mexico, In fact, It has fire.
quentIy been charged that Japan has
~foEnented the Mexican revolution in

But the United States senate has

DOING QUITE WELL.

The United States-and North Da-
kota in paytieular-is not likely to go
entirely to the deminition bow vows.
The good crop in North Dakota this
year win make business conditions
favorable. The entire country is in a
prosperous conditiop-and 1t doesn't
look like there is anything wrong with
Uncle Sans country.
The United States raises TIT per
cent OF all the cprn in the world. 1t
produces about one-hfth Of the wheat
OF the entire world-one-fourth the
o~ats-~one- tenth the barley-haIf the
petatoes-more than half the cotton
nearly one third of the t~obacco-one-
tenth the Sugar-and still some people
can't see the immense possibilities of
this country from an agricultural
standpoint. ..-. ......
1t looks like the country Is headed
away from the peorhouse despite all
the croakipg Of the pessimists and the
alarmists. With improved farming
conditions the percentage of the
worlds crops raised in the United
States will be greatly increased-and
North Dakota proposes to do its share
in that line.
In addition to the prosperity of the
farmers-there has never been a time
when labor was more generally en-
p~loyed--and the unskilled kind more
in demand. The prices paid are high
er than ever before.
The manufacturers are sharing in
the good times and big orders are to
be iHed in most lines.
After all this is not such a bad
country.

Simple Food.

81 should like to call attention to the
wisdom of the-simple life. First, let
us have pure, wholesome, and nutri-
tlous foods, not deteriorated in any
way. and free from any manipulation
in the way of added injurious sub
stances Of any description and, sec
ondly a diet Of simple food, avoiding
complex dishes and multiplicity Of
courses but securing sufficient varie-
ty to minister to the legitimate wants
OF the palate. The frying-pan too
often takes the place Of the spit, and
while some fried dishes may be toll
Grated, 1t is not a method Of cooking
that may be generally recommended.
If this simplicity were combined with
proper attention to the quantity of
diet, frequency of eating, and proper
mastication, each individual would be
kept in a condition best suited to en-
able him to perform the special func-
tions In life to which he devotes him
self Too great hurry in eating not
only makes digestion more difficult.
but also robs the meal of its social
opportunities of conversation. The
masticating Of the food should receive
special attention, especially all starchy
substances. ."-Woman's Home Com

HUGS AND KISSES POLICEMAN
With AppeIIatlon, "oh, You Big Bear
With the Brass Buttons" Gotham
Woman is Jailed.

New York-A new form of torture
for policemen, more sinister than graft
investigations, more painful than win
ter wind whipping around a fixed
post and possessed of possibilities as
deadly as the burglars bullet, was
put to the test on placid Washington
court by a red-faced young police
man.
Facing the victim - Policeman
Geiger of the West One Hundred and
Fifty-second street station-as he
told Magistrate House about it, was a
handsome dark-haired woman who
frequently blushed and murmured
Impossible! Oh, couldn't have
done that"
Yes, your honor, she kissed me-"
stammered Geiger Fright out in the
middle Of Amsterdam avenue, at One
Hundred and Fortieth street she
kissed me, and there's nothing in the
manual that says part of policeman's
duty is being kissed by strangers"
Couldn't you have escaped if you
didn't like it," asked the court.
Il was on fixed post" your honor,
groaned the youthful guardian of the
peace.
oh" said his honor. that's devo-
tion to duty!"
Yes, sir; 1t was like this: l was
standing there all alone about 1870,
wondering where all the people were
Suddenly some one grabs me from
behind and two strong arms are
wrapped around my neck. The first
thing thought, Of course, was gang
sters!' 1t seemed whoever 1t was was
trying to garrote me, and l started
to fight for my life.
"But couldn't shake of those pow
erful arms. The best could do was
to squirm around so that faced the
the-er-the assailant. And, your
honor, it was this lady.
"'Oh honey, dear!' she says.
"'What do you mean by using such
language to me?' / asks her
"'Oh, you sweetheart she goes on,
paying no attention to my protests.
oh, you big bear with the brass but
tons!'
"Then she kisses me, and that's not
the worst of It. for by this time big
crowd had collected and women were
yelling and men shouting: You
brute, release that woman!' pleaded
with her to go home, but she wouldn't
do anything but stay right there and
kiss me Then the man on the beat
came around and rescued me. So !
arrested her for-well, couldn't
think OF anything to call it but ex-
treme disorderly conduct"
Mrs Margaret Hoehatt, who said
she was thirty and lived at 1911 Free
man street the Bronx, smiled sweetly
but incredulously as she paid a $40
fine She said Geiger looked like a
truthful young officer and she wouldn't
dispute his word though she didn't
remember a thing about 1t.

Before Washington became the pop

was not looked upon in the same light
as other places were. especially by
those who had never visited the ma.
tons capital, and regarded 1t simply
as the seat of government-tempor
residence for the nations statesmen.
Times have changed. Washington
is now probably better known in out
side states for the advantages it Of
fers to those seeking an education
than 1t is at home.
Washington today is looked to as the
countrys seat of learning, not merely
from an academic standpoint, but
from a broader vision. 1t is realized
that traditions, the beautiful examples
of art as shown by the best works of
famous artists, sculptors. architects.

that come bere to study, to work.
These things have been appreciated
by our educational leaders, and while
there are famous colleges in other cit
les, colleges which have sent out their
children to the ends of the earth, not
one can offer the advantages offered
by the city Of Washington, not one
has such facilities for research as the
