Gregory, going outside, stepped up to
the motor car and clapped the lady

WOULD KEEP PEOPLE IN A TUR-
MOL.

We have enough elections and too
much political agitation now, heaven
knows, but if the initiative, referen-
dunn and recall should be adopted po-
litical agitation would became perpet-
ual, and there would be no end to
the elections we would have.-Albany
Herald.
Correct. And the results are not
apt to be any improvement in govern
ment, either of city, county, state or
country nothing but interminable con-
fusion and a growing Discrimination on
the part of the very men best equip
ped for office to become candidates be-
fore the people. Take Georgia, for
instance, in the majority of the cities
Of which elections for mayor and al
1ermen are now held every year or
two years. What necessity is there
for any recall system in them? And
IN the counties many of the officers
are elected every two years. In the
state we have the same condition of
affairs. How many of these officials
are so recreant to their trusts, so dis
dainful of public sentiment, so utter
ly contemptuous of the feelings of
their neighbOrs and friends, that
recall system is necessary to reach
them. The truth of the matter is
the average ofIicehoder has his ears
TOO much to the ground now trying to
get line on the passing currents of
popular thought, instead of concen-
trating his attention on the perform
ance of his duties without regard to
every passing current of sentiment.
Georgia has enough elections now
Every community in it is upset pc
riodically to little or no purpose.
Heaven only knows what it would be
when a little dissatisfied minority
could get petition signed by a com
paratively small number of citizens
and compel officials to go to the trou-
BILE of an appeal election every now
and then. 1t is claimed that the threat
of the application of such whip will
keep the officials straight. The truth
of the matter is they don't need such
a penalty hanging over them. The
whole thing is unnecessary and sooner
or later the sound common sense of
the people as a whole will condemn
it. But in the meantime loud-mouthed,
patriots, loving the dear people" as
no one else could possibly do, are
eagerly seeking to ride into political
office on such new issues" There
is more buncombe about the whole
thing than there is solid merit.

The Antiquity Of Man.

It has been known during long
time that in western Europe man ex-
listed during the glacial epoch. We know
that the great ice age consisted of diff
ferent glacial times separated by in
terglacial times In glacial times the
snow line dropped 1000 to 1000 feet
below its present level in the Alps.
whereas in interglacial times it lay
about 1000 feet higher than st pres
ent. Thus the temperature seems to
have been higher in the interglacial
periods than it is now. There
is abundant evidence, in the opin
ion of Penck, that man existed
during the beginning of the last gla-
cial epoch. There is some reason for
thinking that at least 10000 years
have elapsed since the last glaciation
and that the man whose jawbone was
found in 1909 near Heidelberg lived
100000 years ago-Scientific Amer

DIET AND HEALTH

OBJECTIONS TO CONDi-
MENTS.

The taste for condiments Is
unnatural and all condiments
are injurious irritants. The fact
that food does not taste right
without salt, pepper, mustard,
vinegar or other flavoring only
indicates that an unnatural
taste has been established
which demands satisfaction like
the taste for alcohol, tobacco or
coffee. If one has been in the
habit of using such seasonings
they may be gradually elimi-
mated. The objection commonly
urged by physicians to condi-
ments Is that they are injurious
in themselves, but there is a
more important objection that
has been overlooked. 1t is now
we'll established that digestion
Is perfect only when the secre-
tons are adapted to the charac-
ter of the food and this is pos
sible only when the individual
taste of the food is distin-
guished, so that when the con-
diment is tasted instead Of the
food the normal digestion "a in
terfered with, to Z degree. The
use of condiments also makes II
possible to disgas4 foods, espe-
ciaIly animal foods that may be
seriously spoiled,

She never sat around and fretted
Because she's nothing fit to wear;
If other wives were sometimes petted
And called sweet names she did not
care.
She did not murmur when another
Got things that she could not afford;
She loved her husbands little mother
And all his sisters she adored.
She never sighed DER her condition
Or feared her choice had not been
wise,
But, satisfied with her position,
She thought her husband was a
prize.
He did not cease TO feel that neatness
Was necessary on his part;
He did not dis! egard her sweetness
Or by'his GOODNESS chill her heart
He did not let himself grow fretful
Her voice did not offend his ear;
He never, foolishly forgetful,
Wrung from her heart a bitter tear
Forever mindful of his duty,
He gave her praise by word and
look,
And so their lives We're filled, witt

But they were merely in a book

PERSONS cLAssED AS ANIMALS
Chinese Have Curious Method of
Counting Age.

A Chinese child at birth is said to
be one year old, and after it has pass
ed one new year it is said to be two
years old. The years are divided into
cycles of twelve. each one of the IL
years being represented by the name
of twelve different animals, and all
people born in one year say that they
belong to the class of corresponding
responding to 1875 was a year OF the
rat, and all born in that year belong
to the class rat; so also do all people
born in the year removed from 1875
by any multiple of IL.
The twelve different animals are
rat, OK, tiger, hare, dragon, snake,
horse, sheep, monkey. fowl, dog, pig.
Every one knows his corresponding
animal class, for the Information is
necessary for arranging betrothals,
fortune-te1ling, or choosing lucky
days.
A source of error in age with the
exception of that in entering young
children) is illustrated by the case of
an old woman of the village of Ching
Tzu, known to be over one hundred,
who insisted on the census enumera
tor entering her as ninety-nine. This
was because it is a customary term of
years-old donkey" or "ten-toothed
donkey" which has the same signi
ficance.
The only source of error in the di-
vision of sex is in regard to very
young children. 1t is common for a
Chinese mother to give a son the
name of girl presumably to deceive
the Fates, for II is a common saying
that a girl is easier to rear.
AS to the size of Chinese families,
the Chinese give much credit to a
large family which is able to live to-
gether without dividing up the fam
lily property There are many large
undivided families in Wei-hai-wei.
The largest is that of Meng Yu-Shih.
a widow of the village of Mang-Tao.
Her family consists in all of SO per-
sons-Detroit News-Tribune.

THIRTEEN men BURIED.
Mine Explosion Believed to Have Been
Fatal to Entire Party.

Trinidad, Col, June 19-Thirteen
miners are entombed and are believed
to be dead as a result of an explosion
III the new slope of the Tasting mine
OF the Victor American Fuel company
shortly after midnight. Another miner
badly injured has been rescued. The
mine is located 16 miles north of Trini-
dad. The main slope is badly caved
and rescuers have been able to make
but little progress. Rescue equipment
is being rushed to the scene. The mine
officials believe the explosion was
caused by a windy shot, which set
off a quantity of gas. The explosion
took place in the new slope of the mine
5000 feet from the mouth where devel-
opment work is in progress. The four
teen that were on the night shift were
shot frers and entrymen. A large force
OF rescuers from adjoining mines is at
work
Rescuers who entered the mine re-
returned soon afterWard with a Greek,
who was badly burned. Several bodies
have been located. According to the
mine superintendent who came out of
hasty investigation both the main
means of exit. are badly caved. He
thinks the ID men were killed. Air is
being forced into the wrecked entry
and the rescuers hope to received the
bodies within a few hours. The Hast
1ngS mine is one of the largest pro-
ducers in the southern Colorado field.
The main portion of the colliery has
not been damaged.
The corOner'S Office here has receiv-
ed an order for Is collins.
John Thomas, fire boss, is believed
to have lost his life. The other VIC.
TINS are believed to be foreigners. The
new mine taps what is known as the
-B' seam of coal, which lies below the
a. seam, or old workings. and which
has been driven $500 feet. The ex-
plosion took place near the face of
the new working shortly before 10
O'Clock last night. No conclusion was
felt near the mine and the first warn
ing of the disaster came when a night
Waterman saw some smoke issuing
from the mouth of the new slope at
midnight.
superintendent Cameron and party
succeeded in locating several bodies
behind heavy falls and no hope is held
out that any are alvie. Those not killed
outright died soon after, Cameron be-
lieves, from suffocation. The mine fan
is not damaged and the wrecked slope
slowly is being cleared of gases.
