Refugees Returning.
The refugees who were aboard the
Manning have regained a certain amount
of confidence with the return of normal
air conditions and are leaving the ship to
endeavor to reach their former homes,
which lie In ruins. The people on the
island have found IL difficult TO make
their way about, the ash In some places
being from twenty 10 thirty feet deep.
Nearly all the houses are in ruins and
those that withstood the attack of the
hail OF ash and stones are uninhabltaole
because OF the fine silt which dritteu
through every crevice, making useless
stores OF food apd clothing
The wharf at Kodiak at which the
Manning has been lying was kept reason
ably clear OF ash by constant playing OF

was cleared. however. and the roads are
virtually impossible.
People Destitute.
The problem Of feeding the destitute
people is a serious one. Efforts are being
made TO reach the government expert
mental farm near Kodiak. which was
stocked with a large herd OF imported
cattle and sheep, which. II found in ht
condition, will be used for food.
The only water the people at Kodiak
are using is that distilled from sea water
by the Manning. all other supplies hav

General Grant on Sick Leave.

General Frederick Dent Grant, U. S
A., commander of the department Of
the east, has left Governors Island
New York, for period of rest.
Just where he has gone cannot be
learned, but it is said he is with mem
bers of his family, and will be gone
for four months.
It was reported that he had been
stricken with an affection of the throat
similar to that which caused the death
of his father, General Ulysses s
Grant. 1t was, however, denied al
Governors Island that he was seri-
ously i'll.
Request for leave of absence was
made quietly to the war department
and granted BY Secretary Stimson
When asked where he was, Lieutenant
Howes, General Grants aide-de-camp,
said it was not matter of general in
terest. The general has simply gone
away" he said, and am sure that he
would not like to have any publicity
thrown about his movements"

~ this sOlicitude on the part of e.,
president for the department. In call
ing for these reports the secretary ask
ed that they be brief and that they
mention notable achievements of the
last FIVE years only. inasmuch as that
period is really the period of fruitiOn
in the department. the period during
which. owing to the broad foundations
previously laid by the training and
grouping of many corps of scientific
men, by securing farreaching legisla-
ton. by gathering together masses Of
statistics and other information. by
providing scientific and other equip
ment. it has been possible to produce
most marvellous results for the com
mon good of the people.
TAFT For Conservation.
In his conservation message Presi
dent Taft emphasized the importance
Of the maintenance of the forests and
urged their scientific treatment $50
that they shall be made to yield large
return in timber without really reduc
ing the supply" and in other messages
he pointed out the necessity of refOr
estation. In accordance with these
views much available work has beeu
done in protecting the national forests
and by researches in the laboratory OF
the department at Madison, Wis, and
in the past five years the work Of re
foresting burned over areas has pro
ceeded at the rate of 1900 to 30OOu
acres a year. The department takes
justihable pride in its forest work, con
sidering the administration of 100000
600 acres Of land protected and man
aged for the public benefit a great
achievement
Since Jan. l. 1907. when the fooO
and drugs act went into effect, more
has been done to provide a good, cleaI
food supply than in all the preceding
life of the nation. A wonderful change
has also been effected in the character
of the drugs on sale. The department.
has trained force of inspectors and
chemists doing excellent work in al
parts of the country in behalf Of pure
foods and pure drugs. This salutary
law, however. needs amendment. a.
the supreme court held in May, 1911
that its provisions, to quote President
Milford chronicle., 1912-04-12

to congress a month later. do nc
cover the knowingly false labelling 0
nostrums as to curative effect" Th
president added: IAN evil which men
aces the general health of the peOpl,
strikes at the life of the nation. II
my opinion the sale of dangerousl'
adulterated drugs constitute
such an evil and warrants me in cal
ing the matter to the attention Of tn

Work Of Soil Mapping.
OF Importance to the farmer ha,
been the work carried on in the pas
five years OF soil mapping and classif
cation. so that now the area includeu
is 407.009 square miles, or nearly Al
100000 acres The value of this wOr
is incalculable.
Disseminating the valuable informa
ton acquired by the department has
proved a wonderful work. Practically
200,O00O00 publications have been dis
tributed since Secretary Wilson as
sumed control of the department, ano
more than half QO3.59s. .100l of tina
number have been distributed within
the past five years.
Other work accomplished by the de
partment includes a COMPREHENSIVE
system Of weather warnings and fore
casts, the meat inspection service H.
which $500 experts are employed. wht
see that every pound Of meat sent in
terstate is it for human food, protec
ton Of live stock, the checking of re

insects. the conservation Of water sup
plies. the building and care of publ,

houses. so that every dollar expended
in the prosecution Of this work in it,
numerous phases has brought back 3
hundred fold to the people.

lnsanlty Not inherited.

Most persons think that insanity
may be directly inherited" says
Homer Folks in the State Charities
Bulletin. This belief Is undoubted-
ly wrong. One may inherit a greater
or less tendency toward insanity.
Mental instability may be inherited,
just as weak constitutions may be
inherited. Those who have reason
to believe that some Of their ances-
tors suffered from mental troubles
need not be unduly alarmed. for this
fact does not make It certain that
they Will suffer likewise. These ten
dencies toward insanity may lie dor
mant during the whole lives Of the in
dividuals. But such persons should
take the proper precautions to pre-
vent the development Of this tenden-
cy. AS weak constitution may be
built up by healthy habits, so may
mental instability be made stable by
good mental and physical habits The
individual whose family has had men
tai trouble may often escape the dis
ease by proper surroundings. health
full and temperate activities, and
proper mental and physical habits
The most important fact In heredity
is that the vast majority OF ancestors
OF every individual were normal.
Heredity tends, therefore, rather more
strongly toward health than disease.

BRYAN IN WASHINGTON.

Senators.

Washington, May 4.-Willam Jen-
nings Bryan, just returned from the
South, visited the capitol today, con-
ferred with Speaker Champ Clark
and with other Democratic leaders
and was facetiously called Satan
by Former Speaker Cannon.
Mr.. Bryan, disclaiming that he was
on any political mission, announced
that he had discussed with Democratic
leaders the bill to provide for direct
election Of United States senators
which has been conference since last
summer
Mr.. Bryan prefers the direct cleo
tions bill as passed by the house"
said Representative Rucker Of Mis-
souri,, in charge Of the bill for the
mouse, but since we can not have
that lii on account Of the persistenr
opposition in the senate. Mr.. Bryan
is willing, like the rest of us, to ac-
cept the situation and take the senate
amendment in order to get the bin
upon the statute books"
The senate amendment preserves To
the federal government the supervis-
ion Of the time, manner and place of
holding senatorial elections in the va
rious States. House conferees agreed
to accept it after 16 conferences.
Mr.. Rucker will present the confer
ence report in the house and ask it,
adoption next week.
While Mr.. Bryan was comforting in
the lobby, former Speaker Cannon
entered unaware of the Nebrskan's
presence. He had just referred to
Mr.. Bryan in remarks on the floor and
as the latter rose to greet him, the
former speaker shook his hands and
exclaimed: We'll, we'll. talk about
Satan and he shows up"
Everybody laughed and Mr.. Cannon
explained that in his remarks relating
