is COMMON FAMILY PROPERTY
= Cigars Used by Natives Of Philippine
Region Are More Than Two Feet
In Length.

A cigar two feet five inches long
and three inches in diameter is the
souvenir Prof. E. E. Eubank, Unit
cd States supervisor of schools for
the Lingayan district, Philippine
islands, brought with him on his re-
turn to his home In Liberty, Mo.
he will present the huge cigar to
the museum Of William Jewell col
lage.
" The cigar is not freak in Caga-
yam province, Philippine islands,
where Professor Eubank obtained it.
There the natives smoke what they
call the family cigars, and this is
one of them. These cigars are sus-
pended from the ceiling of the room
by two cords, each attached near an
end of the cigar, and the weed is sus-
pended at such height as will en-
able the smoker to sit and smoke in
Gpmport. They are usually suspend
~ near a window.
Only one cigar is suspended in
the house at a time, and while the
cigar lasts, which is a good while, it
Is smoked alternately by various
members of the family. When the
smoker is tired he leaves the cigar
and the next smoker comes along, re-
hgnfs it and puffs away.
The cigar is made in exactly the
same way as the cigar as the ordi-
nary size and before the first smok-
er begins he nips off the end in th
usual manner.

on American lives and property in
Mexico as result of the revolution
there. devoted most of a day to con-
ferences concerning the situation, the
result of which was that the Ameri-
can ambassador to the Mexican cap
ital leaves here with a demand that
Mexico take prompt action to put an
end to the unrest
The demand was framed at confer
ences both in the White House and
at cabinet dinner given to the presi-
dent in the evening by Secretary of
State Knox. Officials who took part
In the conferences denied that the de-
mand could be considered as an ulti-
matum. Aside from this declaration
they declined to discuss the govern.
ment's action.
While the state department main
tanned a sphinxlike silence, 1t is un-
derstood that foreign governments
have made representations concern
ing the destruction OF the property of
their citizens in Mexico and the
jeopardy in which those citizens are
placed. Only a short time ago the
state department addressed a note to
the Mexican government through
American Ambassador Wilson, the re-

to be satisfactory. This is believed
to have inspired in a great measure

RINGWORM ON CHlLO'S FACE

Stratford. 1owa.-@Three years ago
this winter my seven-yearold son had
ringworm on the face. First Il was in
small red spots which had a rough
crust on the top. When they started
they looked like little red diets and
then they got bigger. about the size
OF birds egg. They had a white
rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf-
fered terrible itching and burning. so
that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear
full. He was cross when he had them.

THIRD MESSAGE IN
TAFT REVIEWS WORK OF THREE
DEPARTMENTS IN DOCUMENT.
TO SENATE.
ASKS SEATS FOR CABINET
President Declares Lost Motion In
Machinery of Government Due to
Lack of Cooperation Between
Legislative and Executive.

Washington, Dec. 20-Work in the
post Office, interior and commerce and
labor departments and affairs in the
District of Columbia were reviewed In
a special message. the third since the
short session Of congress began, was
submitted to the senate by President
Taft on Thursday.
Transcending In interest what the
president has TO say about the work
direct recommendation in a sort OF
preface to his message that heads OF
departments should be given seats on
the floor of congress.
Much Lost Motion.
On this matter the president says:
Il recommend the adoption of legisla-
ton which shall make it the duty of
heads of departments, the members of
the presidents cabinet, at convenient
times TO attend the sessions OF the
house and the senate, which shall
provide seats for them In each house.
and give them the opportunity to take
part In all discussions and to answer
questions of which they have had due
notice. The rigid holding apart OF
the executive and the legislative
branches of this government has not
worked for the great advantage Of
either There has been much, lost
motion in the machinery due to the
lack OF cooperation and interchange
of views face to face between the rep
resentatives of the executive and the
members of the two legislative
branches Of government.
p. o. Changes Not Political.
In the departmental section of his
message President Taft speaks of the
recent placing of $4,000 postmasters
on a civil service basis and says that
nothing could be further from the
truth than the charge that the change
was made for political purposes.
The president recommends revision
OF the land laws SO that the interior
department can work to the ends OF
proper conservation of the natural re-
sources OF the country.
Trust Question Solving Itself.
The trust question in the enforce
ment OF the Sherman antitrust law is
gradually solving itself, is maintain
ing the principle and restoring the
practice Of competition, and If the law
is quietly but firmly epforced. bust
ness will adjust itself to the statutory
r quirements, and unrest in CONNER
cial circles provoked by the trust
discussion will disappear"
In writing OF the work of the agri-
cultural department the president
discusses agricultural credits" He
says: THE secretary of agriculture
has made an investigation into the
matter of credits in this country, and
| commend consideration of the in
which through his agents
he has been able to collect It does
not in any way minimize the impor-
lance Of the proposal, but 1t gives
more accurate information upon some
of the phases Of the question than we
have heretofore had"
