Talked out In Meeting.

The following letter is taken from
the Springfield Republican, and shows
that least one Forsyth woman is not
afraid to say what she thinks about
some Of the newspaper stories that have
been published recently.
Forsyth Mo. Jan. u, 1912.
Editor Springfield Republican.
Springfield Mo.
Dear Sir: In your paper dated Janp
ary 9 in regard 10 the killing Of Enos
Riah at Bransor BY J&Nes Miles you
say that he (Miles) was brought to
Springfield ON account Of the fact that
the Taney county Jail at Forsyth was
thought to be unsafe. Though threats
Of violence are not known to have had
serious considerations, it was thought
best to remove the prisoner to Spring
field" etc,
think the reason he was taken to
Springfield was not because the sheriff
was afraid OF violence, as there was no
thought Of violence, but because the
Jail has about fallen to pieces and
prisoner could not be made hallway
comfortable and in such weather as we
have been having he would have frozen
TO death.
would also like to call your attent,
ion to the fact that the new dam is
going TO be built two and one half
miles above Forsyth, on White river,
and not at Hollister or Branson.
Yours respectfully,
MRS. KATE LACEY MCONKEY.

politics throughout the session as they
did in the special session last summer.
Ia lis good naiuyed way the president
is endeavoring to meet what he thinks
to be "long.ielt want" in urging Ger
tain changes in the tariff, but the Dem
ocrattc house is in no mood TO crafty
him. On the other hand, it is decid-
edly and emphatically in the mood tc
thwart him, and thus, as il hopes to
bring confusion TO his party. More
over there is the hybrid Senate to reck-
on with. The Democratic .insurgent
senate may or may not look iavorobly
on the tariff bills which the Democrat
ic House will send 10 it. But even if
that chamber passes the House popgun
bills they will be halted bv the veto.
The president has let it be known that
he will sign no tariff revision measures
except on lines laid down by the in
yestigations Of the Tariff Board, and as
the Democrats will take pleasure in
rendering the boards work futile,
there seems to be very little hope ior
the enactment Of even the wool bill
which the president has recommended.
The game Of cross purposes which is
under way in the government at this
time is likely to prevent any alteration
in any schedule this year. Globe

The cold weather Of the past week
had caused great suffering among the
poorer classes Of people in the cities,
many cases Of absolute want being re-
ported from people who have never
been compelled to ask Tor help before
The people who live in this country Of
plenty have no idea OF the suffering
that is caused in the cities by cold
weather like the present. Here, a
man could go out and get wood almost
anywhere to tide over a spell like the
present one, and no one would think
Of saying about it, but in a city where
fuel is peddled out in baskets, if you
haven't the price Of a ton, it is i'm
possible to gel fuel at times, and this
kind Of weather without anything to
eat is about our idea oI what General
Sherman said war was.

eighty-three which they filled in the
chamber Immediately preceding. This
prophecy is based on the presumption
that the emperor and and the chancell-
or will not be able to set up as iormid-
able combinations against them as they
did FIVE years ago. From the returns
which are available at this writing it ap-
pears that the socialis: vote on Friday
aggregates approximately 4,000,0 1000,
which places Germany far ahead Of any
other two or three countries in the
strength Of that element. This makes
the demonstration OF that cult in the
United States with its popular poll Of
100000 and with its one member in
the popular branch Of its Congress look
small. France with 100000 votes
and Austria Hungary, with its 1000,
900 are left far behind. However in
Germany Socialism has a reason Tor
existence which it lacks in the United
States. Moreover, its immediate pur-
possess are different there from what
they are here. In France the Socialists
have seventy members in the popul-
ar chamber, and the party exerts more
power than it does in Germany, for
some Of recent premiers have belong
ed to it. Nevertheless, the expansion
Of the German Socialist vote from l20,-
900 in 1872 to 100000 in 1912
shows that Bismark made no mistake
quarter Of century ago when he
went to Canossa" in order to win the
Catholic vote over to the combination
by which he fought the new enemy. -

Water Drinking With Meals.

Pursuant to a tradition Of long stand
ing, it is a common custom TO forbid
the drinking Of water at meal time,
There was a time when such an advice
appeared most reasonable.
Professor Hawk and his pupils at the
University Of Illinois have been investi-
eating, during the past few years, the
correctness OF the current attitude to-
ward this question, with results quite
at variance with the traditional idea.
When the influence OF water drinking
with meals was examined by direct ex-
pertinent on man the alleged direiul
consequences were found missing.
There were no apparent i'll effects. On
the contray, the general conclusion
from all the findings was that il water
is taken with meals there is a better
digestion and a more complete utiliz-
alton OF food, A pronounced improve,
ment in the digestibility Of fat was also
observed.
Since there is a constant tendency
at least among persons whose know
ledge Of the given subject is slight to
carry to extremes conclusions derived
from experiments, it seem worth while
to add a warning against the indiscrim
mate and excessive use Of large quanti-
ties Of water. Furthermore nothing
that has been said is intended to lend
any support to the American custom
Of drinking water that is ice-cold. The
experiments Of Haw and his pupils in
dicale that our ideas with regard to the
drinking OF water must be revised, but
we must wait for reports Of observation
from a larger body Of Observers. In
the meantime says The Journal of the
American Medical Association, we
may allow water more freely with meal;
subject to the individual exception;
which experience brings out.

The snow Of the past week has been
the heaviest general snow in this part
Of the country since 1878. There have
been heavier local snow storms, but
none that have covered such a large
amount OF territory as the present one
since that date. Railroads are greatly
handicapped by the storm, and on
some lines in Kansas there have been
no trains for nearly two weeks. l; is
reported from the west that cattle are
dying on the ranges by the hundreds
and that unless feed is gotten to them
within the next day or two the loss will
be very heavy.

She sleep hungry eyes
But through what trial has she gone
That she waken weary, thus2
We know her. with laugh
Her careless laugh tolls
Her smile that greets the twilight
The shadows wait her from the
We know the lights that flash and glow,
The gold and silver lights that gem
Her form in loop and

We know her singing and her smile
When night is young and joys afeh,
But in the silent'aGerwhile
What broodng is cOncealed2
We know her lights die one by one,
And darkness with solemn pace
To hush the revelry and fun
And draw veil her face;
And then the city, lone aud still,
Is hidden in her solitude
What grief comes then her mind to fill?
Upon what sorrow does she bood2
We know her in her hours Of light,
Her times OF restless work and play.
Who holds the Of her night
When all the songs swept away2
Why should she, in the gray Of dawn,
Turn sad, seephungry eyes to us2
Through what soul trial has she gone
That she must waken, weary thus2

HOUSE CLEANING AND SELF
CLEANING.
BY RUTH CAMERON

!
The season for spring cleaning is at
hand. Now, I am not one of those
reformers who believe that all.the.
year.reund cleanliness would eliminate
the necessity for such festival. In.
deed no. On the contrary, | believe
in more spring cleaning instead Of
less.

Why should we.feeI that our houses
are the only things that need spring

What about our bodies and minds and
