familiar with the situation. 1t should
be obtained by legislation in congress.
This legislation should be a thorough
revision Of the food and drugs act,
particularly with reference to it's meth
DDS of application. There has been
enough experience to show what these
methods should be and also how great
an extension Of the terms of the act it
self is needed. In this revision there
should be as much effort to render
methods of administration regular and
certain as possible. AS little as prac-
ticable should be left to the discretion
of the head Of the department of agri-
culture. This would protect both nam
ufacturer and consumer, and at tho
same time would relieve the depart
ment of the constant aspersions and
charges under which it now labors.
Such an act would have been passed
long ago had it not been that so many
different interests have feared that
through legislation they would be
placed in a less favorable place than
they now occupy. They have there
fore opposed all movements looking
toward change and matters have gone
from bad to worse. But even If legis-
lation cannot be had, the president
should undoubtedly clear up the situa-
ton by introducing a more equitable
system Of administration. The very
looseness of existing conditions per-
mits him to attain this object. A new
secretary of agriculture could do it,
but no such result is to be expected |
as long as the present incumbent re-
mains in ONCE. The duty therefore
devolves upon President Taft to see
that an entire change Of conditions Is
produced before DR.. Wiley's successor
whoever he may be, is appointed.
Otherwise the present difficulties will
continue and will probably grow worse.
The troubles of the Wiley regime will
be renewed and intensified and the
outcome will be in every way unsat-
isfactory and injurious.

Not with drugs, but with a rein
forcement Of digestive agents, such as
are naturally at work in the stomoch?
Scientific analysis shows that digestion
requires pepsin. heterogeneous ferments,
and the secretion OF ~hydrochIoric acid.
When your food fails to digest, it is
proof positive that some Of these agens
are lacking in your digestive appa-
ratus.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but these natural elements
necessary to digestion and when placed
at work in the weak stomach and small
intestines, supply what these organs
need. They stimulate the gastric
glands and gradually bring the diges-
tive organs back to their normal con-
dition.
Stuart'g Dyspepsia Tablets have been
subjected to critical chemical tests at
home and abroad and are found to con-
tain nothing but natural digestives.

You may dine on raw onions,
Consume lemon peel;
And on coughdrops and peanuts
You may make a meal,
You may shampoo your head and
Use hairoil that stout,
And battle till you're too weak
To amble about.
You may rub on strong perfumes,
And change your attire
And throw all your old clothes
Right into the fire.
You can stand in the wind at
The top of Pixies peak
And let the breeze whistle
About you a week;
You may garg1e your throat with

And do what you will,
But the scent OF the cob pipe

REMARKABLE LONGEVITY.

Germany and Bulgaria are con-
tending for the honor of sheltering
the Oldest woman on earth. Up to a
recent date a certain Mrs. Dutkie-
WITT, resident of Posen, city in
Polish Germany, held the old age
record. According to documents in
her possession she was born Feb
ruary 21, 1885, and is now over 1926
years old. But now resident of a
small Bulgarian village named Baba
Vasilka claims to be ten months Mrs.
Dutkiewitz's senior. The record of
her birth in the Greek church in her
home town gives the date as May,
1884. She is now living on the
farm where she was born and where
she worked in the fields for over 100
years. Her only companion is her
son, aged ninety-nine, who still tills
the soil and does the chores. He left
the farm but twice in his life to
serve short terms in the army.

TRAGEDY THAT WAS AvERTEr
How Wife Of Austrian Forester Kept
Him From killing King VIII
liam and Bismarck.

The story Of an averted tragedy,
which, If it had not been averted,
might have changed the whole course
Of modern history in Euhope, was
recently revived by the death Of a re-
tired Austrian forester named Kern.
The time was about three weeks
afr Sadowa; the place was the little
village of Birsdorf, about thirty
miles from Vienna. King William
of Prussia and Bismarck were there,
and they sat down on the terrace,
outside a small cafe, to drink beer.
Kern saw them. He regarded them
as the deadly enemies of his coun-
try; he was an excellent marksman,
and he had a double-barreled gun
with him. Taking aim from behind
cover, he was about to fire when his
wife, seeing what he was after, and
fearing the consequences, clutched
him by the coattails. He turned to
argue with her, and before the ar
gument was finished the king and
the chancellor had disappeared. So
nothing happened; but if Kern had
been allowed to fire there might have
been no German empire today.

EXTREME COURTESY.

Alfred H. Lewis was somewhat
surprised on going into a restaurant
one evening recently to be almost
overwhelmed by the attentions of a
man whom he scarcely knew, but
who insisted ON introducing him as
the greatest writer of the age to sew
eral others, and ON his sitting down
to table with them. The riddle read
itself few moments later, when the
ELUSIVE person handed across the
table to the greatest writer of the
age card, on which he had written,
"Dear old man, can you let me have
ten dollars5" Not to be outdone in
friendliness Of diction, Lewis wrote
on the other side of the card, 'Dear
old man, l can't" and handed it
back.

HORSES HOLDING THEIR OWN
Increased Number In France az Whole
Makea Up for the Decrease
In Paris.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
development Of the automobile, as
well as Of the aeroplane, has proceed
ed more rapidly in France than in
any other country, the use Of horses
seems to persist there better than in
some of the slower moving nations.
In ten years the number of horses
in Paris has diminished by 24,210--
that is, from 96,698 in 1901 to w.
48S in 1911. This large decrease "a
trifie over 20 per cent. makes the
increase for the country as a whole
all the more striking. In Paris me-
chanical traction has displaced the
horse on all the omnibus lines and
the horse cab is rapidly disappearing.
The persistence of the horse in
rural France is attributed to the fact
that there, in contrast with England
and Germany, for example, the land
is divided into very small holdings,
so that the farmers are for the most
part quite unable to afford an invest
ment in mechanical appliances for
traction, ETC., Notwithstanding the
greater eventual economy in using
motors in place of horses. 1t is ex-
pected that the farmers associations
will be able to devise some co-opera-
tive plans that will give the small
farmer access to the advantages of
modern inventions along this line

THE EVOLUTION or COINAGE
First Metals Stamped With Weight
Probably Were Used In Ancient
Assyria and Babylon.

1t is probable that when metals
were first used as medium of cur
rency they were simply weighed. The
next step was to issue pieces of gold
and silver that had already been
weighed. Then, in time, it was found
more practicable to mark the exact
weight and value on each piece. This
was first done, it is thought, in AS
syria and Babylonia, where shekels
or pounds of gold and silver have
been found in great quantities.
In the sense we understand the
first real coinage of money must be
ascribed to the Greeks of Iona in the
seventh century before Christ. They
stamped upon their coins the arms
and the seal of their cities, thus az
fording an official guaranty of the
weight and value of the money.
From Iona the custom rapidly spread
to other parts of Greece and thence
into Italy.
The yellow shekels Of Babylonia
are undoubtedly the oldest of gold
coins. These show only the arms of
the country.
