LAST OPPORTUNITY
To obtain shares of the only chain of cooperative
grocery stores in this country at par
$40 PER SHARE
Is February the 25th. The directors of the
UNITED cRocERS CO.

Have voted to sell no more shares at par $4,000.
The LAST DAY shares can be bought at this
price is the 25th. After that $11O0 PER SHARE
is the price; and it will advance to 5000, probably
April 1st, as the net earnings are rapidly accunu
lating. This company is operating stores in all
sections of this city, and they are ALL PAYING.
The expectations are to OWN and OPERATE
perfect chain of 1000 HIGH-CLASS GROCERY
STORES in four States, and this company is
destined to become the largest and most important
factor in dealing in all foodstuffs and in lowering
prices. There is no reason why these shares should
not sell for $500 per share before the end of the
year.
Never before could the public buy at PAR, OR
NEAR PAR, 10 PER CENT dividend-paying
stock 1t is absolutely SAFE The wise man or
woman who has 5000 or 81, 600 should buy these
shares to-day. Prompt action is necessary Never
again after February 25th can shares be bought
at $1,000. Checks mailed and received up to the

Supreme Bench for rast7

NEW YORK, Dec. ia report
from New Haven that President Taft
had been asked to accept the Kent
prOfessOrship in law in Yale University
has brought to public notice another
rumOr involving Mr.. Tafts future N
which President-elect Wilson figures.
1t is known to friends of both that
Wilson has a keen desire to fulfill the
greatest ambition uf the life Of Taft
mp to the time Taft became candidate
for the presidency of the United States
to take a place on the bench of
the supreme court of the United States.
Men familiar with the policy Of the
Yale corporation, however, say that
appointment Of Mr. Taft to the high
est tribunal Of the nation would not
prevent him from occupying the Yale
professorship.
The intention Of Mr.. Wilson to ask
President Taft to become justice of
the supreme court became generally
known among his intimates Immediately
after Mr.. Taft's speech at the Lotus
club a few weeks ago. The speech
was Mr.. Taft'S wise and good natured
answer to the question: What should
the United States do with its eX-presi-
dents?"
Mr.. Wilson, after reading the speech.
remarked to friend:
II know what | shall do with one
eX-president if he will be gracious
enough to allow me to dispose Of him.
| shall ask Mr.. Taft to fill the vacancy
that occurs on the bench Of the su-
preme court
Until the offer of The Kent profes-
5or,hip came. President Taft had de :
cidcd to return to Cincinnati and prac-
tee law with his son Robert While
he still leans toward his first decision.
h" is giving the Yale offer much con
sidcratiOn.
Mr.. Taft has saved something like
100000 cut Of his salary as a public
official. This period Of official life coy

Diseases Caused by Intoxicants

WASHINGTON, Dec. t3.-Declaring
that 60 per cent of all cases Of in
sanity, nervous diseases and diseases,
of the body are caused from excessive
or moderate indulgence in alcoholic
drinks and the drug habit, Representa-
tive John Joseph Kindred of New York,
speaking before the American Society
for the Study of Alcohol and Other
Narcotics, declared that unless loco
motive engineers, telegraphers and
mental workers are total abStainers
they are apt to commit grave errors
in judgment and execution.

specialists in this country.

as it is little if any permanent injury
Is done, since the iron returns regu-
larly to its normal position as the cool
night comes on.
But what seems more remarkable
is the fact that marble is also changed
in volume so perceptibly by the sun
light that the mammoth shaft Of the
Washington monument sways back and
forth in the sun on hot day. The
outer surface being of hard marble,
the expansion is much greater than 1t
would be had granite instead of mar

the sharp aluminium apex that crowns
the Obelisk points to position at least
four inches north of normal. but al
ways returns to its proper position in
the cool Of Lhe night.
From the extreme top Of the monu-
ment inside a long pipe runs perpen-
dicularly to the bottom, leading to a
small closet behind the elevator. This

hangs i'll a vessel of mercury, which
prevents its oscillation. Two station
AIRY transitS, with highly magnifying
lenses, are focused directly upon the
suspended wire, and through these
each quiver of the monument is de-
tected, being magnified on a fine scale
graduated to thousandths of an inch.
Every morning at 10 O'Clock a state
ment Of this plummet line is taken
and reported to the war department,
and il was by this means that the
effect which the suns rays have on

Heat Of the Sun

lIarper's Weekly: Not many people

Of the suns light and heat radiated

does get is great enough to cause
great structures TO move
In fact, all stone or metal buildings
are constantly changing their positions
under the hot rays of the sun. The
great dome of the capitol building at
Washington is the largest surface Of
cast iron in the world, and the effect
Of the continuous heat Of a hot sum-

it is known that this mammoth mass

describes an ellipse, the diameter or
which on hot day varies from four
to eight inches.
The giant plinth base of the dome,
resting on the roof of the old sandstone
building. measures 1876 feet on side.
The greatest diameter Of the round
dame is 1875 feet. while the whole
iron structure is 21S feet high from
the old capitol's roof to the base OF
Freedom on the apex. The cast iron
covering this surface is made in thin
sheets, Offering a good conductor for
the heat, which swelIs even the bolts
and beams of the inside before the sun
has made its circuit.
The southern side OF the dome suf-
fers most from the heat, being exposed
