ELLEgNDALE

With the ushering of the new year We
are constrained to remind our friends
> that it is the season for new resolutions
How many of us will embrace this sea
sonable opportunity to discontinue our
bad habits. We hear such bad language
and obscene words from handsome, strong
and healthy young men around the stores
and public places. Many of them have
a filthy cigarette or cud of tobacco in
their mouths continually, anC are dwarf
ing their systems both mentally and phv-
siCally. This is also base example to
set for their younger brothers. If any
one feels the weakness of spirit to over
come these bad habits we invite them to
attend the revival meetings now open to
them, and there ask for strength and
guidance. They will find the people
ready with their heart and hands open
to receive them.
The new wear came i'll finding our social
circle feasting. And no one can say that
they went hungry that day.

which, regret to say, there is every
reason to believe is pouring into the
state department at Washington from
Mexico?
"lf the president Of the United States
has in Mexico a friend in whom he
has confidence. whose judgment is IN
biased and sound, let that friend com
municate with him and tell him:
'First.-To keep Philander G. Knox
out Of Central America, or at least out
of Mexico.
'Second.-To send an ambassador

Report of House Committee
to Deal With New Laws.
MORGAN NOT TO TESTIFY
Stanley lnvestia ators Will Urge New

In Railroad Business-Many
Millionaires Witnesses.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-Public hear
ings by the Stanley steel investigating
committee are approaching an end SO
far an the work OF digging" is con
cerned. The Stanley committee has
practically completed its labor. A few
more witnesses will he put on the
stand, after which the committee will
begin work on the report. The indica
tons are that the public hearing will
be closed the latter part of next week
When the investigations begun last
spring Chairman Stanley planned to
ask J. =. Morgan to appear as a wit
ness. Mr.. Stanley has entertained a
number of millonaires, among them
the late John w. Gates. f. H. Gary.
Andrew Carnegie, George w. Perkins
and James J. Hill. as well as such en-
inent publicists as Theodore Roosevelt
and Louis ID. Brandeis. Mr.. Morgan
will not appear in this investigation
because the committee does not believe
his testimony is important enough to
delay action on the report until his re.
turn to the United States.
1t is the belief Of the committee that
James j. Hills testimony demolished
the theory that Mr.. Morgan was in
strumental In inducing the United
States Steel corporation to take over
the Hill ore leases. Mr.. Hill denied alb.
solutely that Morgan had anything to
do with the negotiations between the
Lake Superior Consolidated company.
trustee Of the Hill properties, and the
steel corporation.
Important recommendations looking
to changes in the antitrust and com
merce act may be Incorporated in the
report for the committee on inquiry
1t Is the understanding that the ma
jority will recommend that the com
merce act be so amended as to prohibit
industrial corporations from engaging
in the business Of common carriers. If
such law were enacted 1t would com
pei the steel company to dispose of its
roads In the Mesaba region. Members
or the committee are unable to indi-
cate at this time just what amend
ments to the Sherman law will be rec.
commended
Present indications are that the re
port Of the Stanley committee will deal
largely with proposed legislation rath
er than with disclosures Of the prac-
uces or the steel corporation.

TO CARE FOR HAWLEY's WARD
Attorney For Heirs Says Miss Cameron
Will Be Provided For


New York, Feb. 20.-John B. Stanch-
field, attorney for the estate of the
late Edwin Hawley, says that he does
not believe the report that Miss Mar
garet Cameron, Mr.. Hawley's protege,
had deeds or papers in her possession
for the house in East Sixtieth street
and the property at Babylon, N. Y.
No such papers have been shown to
him, he said He said there has never
been any friction between Miss Cam,
eron and any members of the Hawley
family and that when the business of
strengthening out the estate is finished
he thought IT altogether likely that
the heirs would agree to some pro.
vision for Miss Cameron.
He said that Miss Cameron was
liked by all members of the family.
Miss Cameron, he said, had been tax.
en- in by Mr.. Hawley as a child Of ten.
had beenaeducated and grew up in the
r Hawley home as a member Of the

MORE DRINKS AND SMOKES.
Consumption for 1912 Heaviest in
History of Country.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-The Ameri-
can people are drinking more whis-
key and beer and smoking more ci-
gars and cigarettes than ever before
in history, according to tax returns
received by Royal +. Cabell, commits
sioner of internal revenue.
From July / to October /, 1912,
NOR than 3,SOO,O0O,O0O cigarettes
were smoked, an increase Of one bill
lion over the corresponding period of
the previous year, which broke all rec
ords.
The nation consumed 33,15O,OO0
gallons of whiskey during July, Aug
ust and September, an increase Of
100000 gallons as compared with that
quarter of 1911, while nearly 1885,
600 cigars were smoked during that
time. The cigar consumption prom
ises to establish new record.
\ total of 19,SO0,O 900 barrels Of
beer were consumed during the three
months, which was 100000 barrels
more than in the same period of 1911.
This somewhat surprised revenue Of
iicials as beer drinkig fell off consid-
erably during the fiscal year ending
June 80 last.
That decrease was partly account
cd for by Commissioner Cabcl by the
increased popularity of buttermilll as
a summer drink.
The growing consumption of these
articles has greatly augmented the
Governments revenue. The internal
revenue receipts for October, already
moro than $2,000,0OO greater than Oc-
tohcr, 1871, viii eclipse all records for
any October, in the judgment OF Mr..
Cabcll.

KEW. N. X. WOODSON RESIGNES.
presbyterian Pastor at Manning Gives
Up Charge to Assume New Work
for Missions.

Manning, Oct. 2S.-At the regular
morning service in the Presbyterian
church yesterday the Rev. A. r..
Wodson rendered his resignation as
pastor, which came as a surprise to
the congregation. The resignation is
to take effect JaI larry /, 1913. The
Rev. Mr.. WoOdson had just returned
a day or two before from the meeting
OF synod in Columbia and only a few
had learned that a change in his rela-
tions was contemplated. He has been
pastor of the church here during the
past six years and has been very sue
cessful In getting the church out of
debt, besides raising good subscrip-
tions for other purposes, notably the
$4,000 during the last two weeks
raised to aid the endowment of the
church colleges in this State. Mr..
Woodson has now been called by the
committee Of Foreign Missions of the
Southern Presbyterian church to as
sist in raising funds for the support of
missionaries. The committee is now
involved in considerable debt, amount
ing to nearly $175,00s, and it is hoped
that Mr.. Wodson will be instrumental
in greatly reducing this Indebtedness.
OF course, this resignation coming so
unexpectedly, there is no one in view
now to take his place as pastor Of the
Manning church.
