BY A TURTLE,

one of the largest turtles ever seen

wood.

must present an adamant front )
and bald concession to special inter-
ests And to do this its cause must be
lead and championed by man versed
in tariff subtleties, a man who has
shown by his mettle that he is capable
of meeting the brunt of assault, of
meeting the advocates of such a sys-
TEN and defeating them with the facts
and arguments that are acquired by
long training, long study, long expert
ence in legislative halls. Such a man
is Under wood, the Albanian, for
eighteen years a member of Congress,
for many years one of its leading
| lights, at this time the Chairman OF
the most important committee of the
House.
Underwood has shown that he un-
, derstands the tariff. He has shown
that he has a broad conception of its
problems, that he has a firm grasp Oh
its principles, that he has the keen an
alytical mind that is able to tear =
schedule to pieces and get at the roots
of it, that he has the quick, alert brain
that enables one to meet adversaries
on the field of oratory and vanish them
with irrefutable logic and strong mar
challed facts. His record is one that
the South and the nation have reasons
to be proud Of That record has made
him the logical candidate at this time
for the South to present to the greac
party of which it is so important d
member.
McKinley's work as chairman Of
this same committee made him the log
ical candidate of his party and put him
in the White House. Underwood's
work in the same position makes him
occupy the same strategic position
And as Woodrow Wilson himself says
that the tariff is the greatest issue
now before the American people, the
heart of all other issues" even he, #
personal ambition stood not in the
way, would doubtless be inclined to
echo the claim that in such fight, on
such an issue, no man could be found
better ualitiqed to lead to victory than
| Underwood.

FASHION AS She
HAS APPEARED
Spring Modes By Famous
Paris Designers

Paris, March 29-Bright touches Of
Chinese embroidery appear upon many
of the tailor-made coat and skirt cos
tunes in serge, toweling and ratine,
while afternoon frocks in shot taffeta
silks are arranged in nine cases out of
ten with fichu bodices, draped to the
figure with Early Victorian demure-
ness.
They are finished with quaint little
ruches and box-plaiting of silk, bord-
cred with frayed-out edges.
In some cases these afternoon frocks
will be provided with very becoming
outdoor coats of the same silk, made
with fairly deep baskues, and drawn
in at the waist, under satin ribbon
melts, tied on one side with long loops
and ends. These coats will be fire
quently outlined with closely-gathered
bouillonnees of silk, and finished at
the throat and wrists with turn-doWn
collars and cuffs of soft white muslin,
hand embroidered and edged nth
either Valenciennes or Torchon lace.
Once again, too, inspiring has been
sought in the picture galleries, ard
among old portraits and engravi les.
No particular period of historic dress
is receiving more favor than any other
at the moment and the clever con-
turiere is she who has taken a hint
from sleeve here, and again from a
skirt or the basque of bodice there,
and so arrived finally at the comp ISL
ton of very successful gown Frocks
Of this kind, although they may pos
sibly seem to be everything by turns
and nothing long, yet manage to pre-
serve an air of picturesqueness which
helps to make them Enthusiastically at

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
BY DIR. T. ]. ALLEN
Food Specialist
THE BREAD QUESTION.

No question In diet, except the
meat question, has been so Wig
orousIy debated as that of the
relative values of white and
brown or entire wheat bread.
Some maintain that the fine
white flour contains larger per
cent. of nutriment than the en-
tire wheat flour, quoting the an
alysis of the government chem
list to prove it. They also insist
that the coarse outer shell of
the wheat is extremely irritat-
ing to the delicate lining of the
intestinal canal, one physician,
who writes extensively on diet,
going so far as to say that it is
better to use the white bread
and take "judicious pill" &C.
casionalIy.
1t is urged by those who favor
white bread that tests show a
larger percentage of waste In
the excreta from whole wheat
bread; in other words, the fine
white bread is more complete
Iy assimiIated. This is the
truth, but not the whole truth.
The whole wheat flour con-
tains everything that the fine
white flour contains, and some
very valuable elements not in
the white flour.
1t is true that the elements of
food of which the largest per-
centages are needed in the daily
ration are carbon and nitrogen,
and that white bread contains
these in larger percentage, be-
cause excluding some valuable
elements of nutrition found in
the whole wheat. But the ex-
cIusion of these elements breaks
the staff of life.

"hTe Mummy and the Humming-

and which is now in it's tenth success

house Friday, April 5.
The play itself has an unusual plot
and a striking-nay, startling-bit of
dramatic work is introduced in the
first act when Lord Lumley invites an
Italian organ grinder to dine with
him and induces the latter to tell his
story, though neither understands the
language of the other.

Gradually but insistently the con-
viction is being forced on the country
that the tariff, after all, is to be the
great, perhaps the only issue of the
coming presidential campaign. And
with that conviction is coming a new
light as to the relative strength of the
several candidates. on either side OF
the great political dividing line. In
some spots the new issues of the init
iative, referendum and recall may
play their part, but the impulse of the
people is now to look upon them as To-
cal issues designed to meet local con-
ditions and as playing an insignificant
part in the national arena. More and
more the tariff, with all its iniquities,
around which the battle of next No
vember will be fought. Taft recognizes
this, as is evident from his declaration
in favor Uf the revision downward OF
the cotton schedule. Doubtless other
similar announcements will come
from him relative to other schedules,
the apparent purpose being to demon
strate to the people that he is in favor
of a genuine downward revision that
will make the schedules more nearly
conform to the legitimate conditions
of a genuine downward revision that
