in Both Houses.
From The Tribune Bureau ,

Washington. Sept. 26.-An agreement
on the tariff bill was reached by the
conference committee to-day and the
way cleared for the final consideration
Of the measure by the two houses next
week
The committee decided to report a
disagreement on the cotton futures tax
added by the Senate. The House prob
ably will take a separate vote on this
amendment, and may substitute for IL

osition, however. met with so little ap-
proval when Il was presented to the
Democratic caucus Of the Senate that

dentistry Laws Of Old Rome.


Under the laws of the twelve Ia
bles, written in Rome, $50 B. c., while
it was expressly forbidden to bury
gold ornaments with the dead, a spa-
cial exception was made for gold with
which teeth may be held together.
Martial, n of the satiric poets OF
Rome, once referred to the teeth OF
one woman as dark and another as
white. and explained the difference
with the statement that one OF them
bought her teeth, while the other had
her own. The transportation OF teeth
from the mouths of slaves into those

been d ommon practice in the early
days Of the Roman Empire.

TO MAKE POTATO SACKS
Warden Wolfer Intimates the, Making
OF Sacks VIII BE Under Way at
Prison Next Year.

Senator Marden has received a letter
from Mr.. Wolfer, warden of the state
penitentiapy at Saltwater, telling him
of the interest taken during the last
session of the legislature in the pro-
vision made for the manufacture Of
potato sacks at the state prison. Moth
ing can be done this year, but steps
are to be taken so that sacks can be
made next year.
Mr.. Wolfer says that as a prelimi-
nary he Is now anxious to find out all
information as to the supply of sacks
needed for the Red river valley. T. A.
Wyatt of Sabin, for instance, sells
about $4,000 worth of sacks annually.
GAINESVILLE uses about 200, 600 sacks
every year, and many more are sold
at Moorhead and vicinity.
enato Marden says hat potato au-
thorities estimate roughly that the
state will uses at least 1000, 900 potato
sacks and at the present prices that
means a money value of $84, 900. The
new industry at the state prison would
have no effect in the state as sacks are
not made in Minnesota. No special
appropriation would be needed for the
installation of the new industry be-
cause the buildings and plant would

APPENDICITIS CAUSE
Is DlSCOVERED-DuE
TO GLOOMY SPIRITS,

Baltimore, Md. Aug. Johns
Hopkins hospital specialists have
made public a bulletin in which
they declare that appendicitis and
other intestinal diseases are due to
gloomy spirits. They declare that
an absolutely certain preventive
for appendicitis is a smile, con-
tinued and habitual.
1t has long been supposed that.
appendicitis Is hereditary. While
observations made have shown that
this is frequently the case, it has
been proved that the main causes
r improper diet, hasty eating
and mental depression. It also is
shown in statistics of the Phipp's
psychiatric clinics that many patti.
ents have had to be operated upon
for that disorder in conjunction
with the treatment for mental
troubles.
