Gently made by an Illinois commission

peliagra, loathsome and fatal dis
ease, is the result OF eating corn. either
good or bad. There will be satisfac-

maize a aDle article of diet among
large part OF the population. has
been accused Of causing pellagra by
investigators in Italy.
Within recent years this malady has
developed In the United States suffi-
ciently to create danger both of its
permanence and it's further dissemina-
tion. To the end that it's progress
may be halted, every effort ought to
be put forth to discover what produces
pellagra.
Another angle OF the matter which
scientists may well study with ex-
treme care is the relation OF the dis
ease to insanity. If recent increases
in the number OF patients in institu-
tions for the insane may be traced to
long-standing cases of pellagra, as
some investigators have hinted. then
the elimination OF this scourge is all
the more to be desired.-Chicago

BEEF BARORS ARE
GIVEN BIG JOLT

CHICAGO. ILL, Special.-The ten
millionaire packers on trial for viola
ton OF the Sherman antitrust law
received another reverse today when
Federal Judge Carpenter refused TO
rule on their motion to exclude testi-
mony showing that they control the
by-prGduct concerns of the packing
industry and allowed the testimony to
so before the jurors. at least tempo
rarily.
Judge Carpenters decision regard
ing the admissibility of testimony
tending to show that the beef trust
dominates the butterine and oleo oil
business was delayed
At the request OF the attorneys the
jury was excluded from the room and
spent the morning in their quarters
in the Federal building while the ar
gument was under way.
Attorney John Barton Payne spoke
FOR the packers in support OF the mo-
tion which was, specifically, that tes-
timony concerning the purchase OF
and their control by the National
Packing Company be stricken out.
The defense contended that these
concerns dealt IN the manufacture of
Oy-products and the evidence in no
way tended to support the charge in
the indictment that the defendants
were in illegal combine Attorney
Payne argued that since the Kenwood
concern was engaged in the manufac-
ture of oleo oil. II the price OF that
commodity was affected by the al
legged combination and that consti-
tuted a violation OF the Sherman law,
II would be an entirely separate Of
Tense from the ones charged in the
Indictment
Government attorneys argued that
by showing the packers controlled
the by-product plants they offered
evidence of intent to control the en-
tire packing industry.

ROOSEVELT ATTACKS

Declares That Russian Trouble

Colonel Speaks Out
Plainly On Subject.

NEW YORK, Special.-In An edi-
torial entitled The Russian STreatv
Arbitration and Hypocrisy" publish
ed In the current issue OF the Out
look, the eX-President Theodore
Roosevelt, again attacks President
Iafts policies, declaring that the
president was wrong in abrogating
the Russian treaty of 1892 without
awaiting official Interpretation by the
Hague international court, and as
serting that ratification of the Taft
arbitration treaties as they stand now
would put us as a nation in IAN at
utude of unctuous and odious hypo-
crisy."
Colonel Roosevelt says that while
ne approves Of the action taken by
Congress in abrogating the treaty. he
IS of the opinion that il would have
been wiser first TO submit the cove
nant to the Hague court for inter
Dretation.
Let Russia Retire Gracefully"
That. he said. would have enabled
Russia to retire from an untenable
position with good grace and no less
Of self-respect IAN object that should
always be held in view in dealing
With any foreign nation"
The ex-President goes on, after his
vigorous fashion. as follows:
But this action was taken while
the universal arbitration treaties are
pending In the Senate. These treaties
are avowedly championed as being OF
the kind we are to enter into with
all nations and as supplanting the
existing arbitration treaties which we
have with almost all nations. includ-
ing Russia, as well as England and
France.

Decline of the Turk
By REV. THOMAS 3. GREGORY.

TIME Turkish power never re-
covered from the blow that 1t
received at the siege of Wen
ma, In 1858, at the hands of So
biesEi, Of Poland. and when on the
back Of that disaster there came to
it, in TIT, the loss of Belgrade, it
was already as good as settled that
It's doom was sealed. 1t might lin
ger for generations, but its virility
was gone. 1t was no longer a Sc
rious menace to thes white mans
rule in Europe.
Between the instructions of ia
nissaries and Mamilukes at home
and the gatherings from French
men. Englishmen and Russians
from the outside, the Turks were
forced to witness the slow, but
steady and inevitable decline Of
their once tremendous power in Eu-
rope.
Piece by piece the sultan's Euro
pean territory was taken from him,
and by 1854 it would have been
easy for the powers to have put a
quietus for good and for all upon
the troublesome importation. The
sick Man" was completely at the
mercy of the quartet of nations
France. Russia, Austria and Great
Britain-but, instead of doing their
duty, they resolved that the alien
institution which had for so long a
time disturbed Europe should not be
ended.
The document in which this
hypocritical and foolish agreement
was set forth is known as the
Treaty of Vienna" which was
signed by the diplomats April s.
1854.
Few proceedings more infamous
ever disgraced the pages of his
tory. For hundreds of years the
Turks had been breeders of dis
cord among the peoples of Europe.

their domestic life, and in pretty

nearly every respect. the very op-
posite of Europeans, they had been
thorn in the side of the cont
nent from the day on which they
had squatted upon it's soil.
Not only so, but, predisposed by
their fatalistic faith to look with
contempt upon all modern progress,
they acted the part of the dog In
the manager, doing nothing them
selves and unwilling that Others
should do anything for them.
There is a Chance now for the
powers" to atone, in part at least,
for their silly and unwarranted ac-
ton in 1854 Once again the 'Stch
Man" is in their hands, and if they
will they can permit him to die
1t looks as though. conscience
smitten in their thought of the past
they were going to do just thaI
thing. The gallant little nations
who have most severely felt the
Turks atrocities have about driven
their ancient enemy to the wall
and the opinion is abroad that the
big nations are going to permit the
victors to reap the full reward OF
their valor by driving the Turk
back to his old stamping grounds
in Asia.
BY the time this appears in print
Constantinople may have fallen
and. after a period of four nun
dred and fifty years, passed
back again into the hands of the
Eastern Christians. And then IL
will appear whether the diplomats
have. or have not outgrown theH
old-time hypocrisy and greed.
If they have, it viii soon appear
that the day of the Turk in h1-
rope is over. If not, then the '.'
farce will be repeated, and W'"S

THE first flower of the spring is not so fair
Or bright the ripe midsummer brings
The first faint note the forest warbler sings

browns in the liquid sea of song he filings
Like silver spray from beak, and breast and WINGS
The artist 5 earliest effort wrought with care,
The bard's first ballad written in his tears,
Set by his later toll, seems poor and tame,
And into nothing dwindles at the test
SO with the passions of maturer years.

Give me the hearts last love, for that is best

n YOUNG woman who is en-
~ gagged to be married and who
is, therefore, contemplating
man at arms length, so to speak,
instead of from long range, has just
discovered a masculine popularity
that has greatly puzzled her.
1t is her sweetheart's lack of in
terest in her point Of view, except
as it affects himself, and the fact
that he grows distract and bored
when she tries to talk to him about
subjects that are Of Importance to
her alone.
She says she listens joyously and
is absorbed while he discourses by
the hour about his life. his hopes,
the people he knows and the sue
cesses he makes, and. the compile
ments he gets from his employers,
but that when she starts in to tell
him something about herself, her
business, her plans and hopes and
successes he yawns in her face.
He Does Love Her.
She knows it isn't because the
man doesn't love her, because he
does. She knows it isn't because
they are mot congenial, because
they have the same tastes, and he
is keenly interested as long as the
conversation keeps to topics in
which they are mutually concerned.
It's only when she talks of things
that belong to herself alone that his
attention waivers and he begins to
look at his watch.
The girl wants to know why this
is thus, and if this attitude on the
part of her sweetheart indicates
any lack of affection in him.
Certainly not! And it isn't an
eccentricity of her particular man.
It's a sex characteristic. All men
are built that way, and there is no
other jar in life that a woman gets
that so completely knocks her ego
tism into smithereens as the 4znowl-
edge that no man ever loves her
enough to want to know the real
woman inside of her-the woman
that is made up Of her past life and
her innerfnost thoughts and feel
ings..

Bv DOROTHY DIX

A man is contented with a sur
face view Of a woman. He takes
her at what she is, or what he
thinks she is. He has no desire 10
know what has made her what she
is, and no curiosity about what ex-
periences she has passed through
unless he suspects them of having
been evil ones.
Doesn't Want to Hear.
He doesn't want to hear any gto-
ries about her childhood, or her
school days, and If she tries to tell
him about the time when she was
little girl in pinafores with her hair
in pigtails, or relates to him the
thrilling adventures she had at
boarding school, he is sure to re-
member a pressing engagement
that calls him away from the talk
fest.
On the contrary, there is nothing
under the sun that has ever hap
pened to the man she loves that is
not of burning, throbbing heart In
terest to woman. She will SIT I'D.
spellbound, by the week while her
sweetheart monologues along about
the time when he was a little
freckle- faced boy with warts on his
hands, and of how he used to go to
the old swimming holes, and snare
birds, and so on. She will thrill
over his college escapades, and sim
ply sit up and beg for more while
he maunders on about his busi-
ness, and what he said to the book
Keeper and the bookkeeper said to
him.
She is Flattered.
No man hesitates to take up the
time and attention of any woman
friend by telling her Of his troubles
or of his achievements, and the
woman is 'hattered and pleased by
this evidence of the mans conf
dence. And she's interested, too.
but no woman would be foolish
enough to expect any man, who
wasn't her lawyer or her doctor and
paid to listen to her affairs, to give
ear for more than five minutes to
her tale of woe, or to rejoice with
her in any success.
