Everybody Wants to Know the Reason

coffee or tea it Is different. EVERYBODY
desires to know why. Wherever Smoot
goes to dine people ask: do you
find that coffee makes you nervous?"
Don't you drink 1t for breakfast
even?" Did you ever try that Battle
Creek substitute for coffee?" Does it
keep you awake?" And oh, a great
many more. Then some woman is
certain to say: Mercy, I've taken a
cup Of coffee at every meal since I
can remember, and l don't think it
hurts me Bit
OF late years, in order to avoid a
scene, Smoot usually takes a cup Of
coffee when 1t is offered to him, but
does not drink it. But this avails him
little. Sooner or later his hostess in
quires:
''Do you find your coffee strong?"
or Did you get cream and sugar?"
Then the truth leaks out and the
questions begin.
Even in restaurant the coffee prop
osition is one of life's little irritations
in Smoot's case. Every waiter as
sumes that everybody drinks coffee
now or later?"-even though nothing
has been said about coffee at all. Sen
ator Smoot sometimes wishes the
"dry" movement would be amended to
include coffee.

Why Chief Moore Did Not Preside

XIY EATHER Chief Willis l. Moore
w sent out an order to all the wealth
er stations over the country some time
ago, forbiddi1s messengers and other
youngsters In the service to smoke
cigarettes. 1t had been noted that
boys who forgot to leave weather
maps where they were directed to.
were nearly all cigarette smokers;
hence the order.
The newspaper paragraphers and
testers heard about the anti-cigarette
order and promptly made merry over
it. Whenever weather prediction
went wrong they suggested that Moore
AND his men smoke up-and so on.
From this advertising of the anti-cigar-
cite order, many got the impression
that Moore wouldn't stand for smok-
ing. An anti-tobacco socoety with
headquarters in western city, arrang-
ed to hold a big conclave in Washing
ton and they proposed to have Moore
preside. Two ministers, officers of the
society, formed committee that came
on here to see Moore. ask him to pre-
side, and have him assist in working
out a program for the suppression of
tobacco in every land and every cline.

such abstinence entails. A man can

effect of the plan in the United States
is the result of long investigation Of
the English system made by the Judge
advocate general OF the army. The
English system has been in effect sew
eral years and has resulted in a
marked benefit to the army.
The first movement toward the adop-
ticn of the system in the United States
army was the recent order for the
transfer of all military prisoners con-
victed of felonies under the civil stat
utes to Alcatraz Island, Cal, and Fort
Jay, n. Y, for confinement, and pris-
oners convicted of purely military Of
fenses or civil offenses amounting only
to misdemeanor, to the Fort Leaven-
worth prison. Several things are yet
to be done before the British plan can
be adopted in its entirety, but it Is
hoped by the military authorities that
congress at its present session will
pass legislation to do away with pres
ent obstacles. Under the legislation
providing for the erection of the new
buildings of the military prison 1t Is
provided that the prisoners must do
practically all the work. 1t is estt-
mated that, under the convict labor
system, two years will be required to
complete this. Other needed legisla-
ton is: to change the name of the
prison to United States detention bar
racks; placing the barracks under the
control of the army instead of the
soldiers home commission; modifying
provisions of existing laws respecting
the employment of convicts; remov-
ing existing prohibition against re-
enlisting deserters; eliminating provi-
sions of the law taking away the
rights of citizenship of soldiers who
desert in time of peace.

scarce that hickory splits were recon-
mended as a substitute in harnesses.
