Food Commissioner Laid, the
Doc. Wiley of North Dakota, will
endeavor to get bill passed by the
legislature prohibiting the use of
snuff in that state: Speaking in
advocacy of his measure, Mr.. Laid
said: ''The use of snuff should be
forever barred in North Dakota and
elsewhere. In addition to the i'll
effect it has on consumers by Great
ing diseases, it has serious mental
and moral effect. The mentality of
some consumers is affected and the
semi-intoxication it's excessive use
produces also affects the morals of
those addicted to the habit.'' Here
is something that snuff chewers
should ''read, mark, learn and in
wardly digest" and immediatelv
thereafter discontinue the use of the
poison. -.-.-..a.. ..

Collegians of the national capital
have entered into diabolical plot to
stampede the noble army of suffra-
gists when it goes on dress parade the
day preceding the presidential in
auguration. The college chaps
scheme is to turn couple of thou
sand rats and mice loose in close
proximity to the female brigade. To
be forewarned is to be be forearmed,
however, and the fair sutfragetters
can prepare for the event by habili-
menting themselves in mems attire
and tying ropes around their ankles.
But even then they are liable to have
a scare thrown into them.

The next United States senate will
be democratic by two majority and
the party leaders now believe that
they have safe margin for purposes
of carrying their tariff measures.
This is question. Whether a sena-
tor is democrat or republican he
is not going to oppose the policy of
the big interests he represents. A
wool-growers senator, for instance,
may be willing to remove the tariff
on cotton, but he would fight an at
tempt to remove it from wool. That
democratic senate will not work with
such clock-like precision as the lead
ers believe.

When the Standard Oil comp

When the Standard Oil company
was ''dissolved" by the federal su-
preme court last year a number of
smaller companies-so-called ''inde-
pendents''-were organized in the
Pennsylvania territory and, appar-
emily, competition was acute. This
competition, however, seems to
have been but ruse on the part OF
the trust, which, it is alleged, started
the ''independent'' concerns in sop.

every time the Standard raises its

do likewise, but the latter handle

DIPPING. The FLAG.

One of the Oldest Of All Methods Of
Marine Greeting. =.
The salutahon given when vessel
lowers or dips" it's flag is one Of the
Oldest and most honorable Of all forms
Of marine greeting.
This form Of salute has always been
demanded by English speaking sea-
men, and its exaction has burned the
hearts and the powder of generations
Of naval commanders.
In the old days for foreign ship,
whether merchant or naval, to enter
an English port without yelling top
sails or dipping it's national flag was to
run the risk of war, although the pro-
foundest peace existed
Without warning or argument the
shore defenses or man of war would
send round shot across the bows or
between the masts Of the foreigner,
and if the attending flag did not in
stantly come down the insolent intru-
der was brought to her senses by being
raked through and through.
Such was the reception accorded by
Sir John Hawkins in the sixteenth cen
fury to the Spanish admiral who, in
time of peace, sailed into Portsmouth
sound without yelling his topsails or
lowering his flag.
Salutes are essential matters of naval
etiquette and are exchanged on an elab-
crate code fixed by the maritime pow
ers. The number of guns to be fired
under all circumstances is minutely
stipulated.-Harper's Weekly.
