Poor Charities.

dollar they take in. most OF their sub

Denver, Colo, was coudemning these
charities. He said.

CANADA WINS AGAIN
This Time at the International
Soil Products in Oklahoma.

Last year and the year before. and
the year before that the farm prod
ucts OF Western Canada carried on
first premiums, championships and
honours, together with medals and d.
plomas, feats that were likely to give
a swelled head TO any other people
than those who had, so much more be-
hind. At Columbus, Ohio. and then
again at Columbia, North Carolina, a
farmer OF Saskatchewan carried on
the highest prize for oats, and IN an
other year, will become the possessor
OF the 800 Colorado Trophy; anoth-
er farmer made two successful ex-
hibits OF wheat at the biggest shows
IN the United States; another farmer
OF Manitoba won championships and
sweepstake at the live stock show IN
Chicago, and this year expects to du-
plicate his successes OF last year.
These winnings are the more credfta-

At the Dry Farming Congress held
at Lethbridge in 1912. Alberta and

the world. The most recent winnings
OF Canada have been made at Tulsa,
Oklahoma, where seven OF the eigh-
teen sweepstakes rewards at the In

with eleven states.
The chief prize, a thrashing ma

Oklahoma four, and Nebraska two.

Old Testament are Identified by the MONKS anu u
by local traditions There Is peak caileu java i
Ras-es. Safsaf which is said to be the exact spot
from which Moses witnessed the worshippng o,
the golden calf by the children of Israel 1t Is
small peak giving an. excellent view OF a large
plain. which might very we'll have been the place
where the Israelites induged in their ldolauous
festivities as described in Exodus:
"Apd II came TO pass as soon as he came nigh
unto the camp that he saw the calf and the dane
ing: and Moses's anger waxed hot, and he cast
the the tables out OF his hands and brake them
beneath the mount
And he took the calf which they had made
and burnt il in the fire. and ground 1t to powder
and strewed il upon the water, aud made the
children of Israel drink OF it,"
The peak where Moses is reputed to have wit
messed this scene is part OF the same group
where the leader OF the chosen people received
the Ten Commandments from heaven. The local
traditions assigning sites for all these ancient
occurrences seem very reasonable.

BIG CUT IN EXPRESS RATES
In Some Instances Rates Will
Be Lower Than by Mails.

Washington. - The interstate com
merce commission has ordered the ex-
press companies to lower their rates,
improve their service and modify their
practices and systems Of accounts.
The order issued by the commission
radically lowers the rates on express
packages under fifty pounds.
The reductions. which range from
10 to 60 per cent, with an average of
IS per cent, will cost the companies
S26,O0G,OOO, or nearly 16 per cent of
their gross revenue, it is estimated.
The new rates become effective Oct
IS and continue for two years. 1t is
believed that it will require two years
to try out the proposed schedules. In
making the order Commissioner Mar
BILE said the report and order lay the
following requirements upon the ex-
press companies:
The adoption of the block system of
stating rates; the establishment of a
uniform classification: the publication
of a joint directory of express sta
tions: the publication jointly Of the
pick up and delivery limits at each
station; the adoption of revised rules
and regulations.
Under the present method of compil-
ing tariffs 900,OOO,OOO separate rates
are published by the express com
panies. Under the block system the
number is reduced to 650O0O. The
United States is to be divided into $50
blocks. averaging $500 square miles to
the block
The most important change is in
the modification of the present gradu-
ated scale of parcel rates, The 100
pound rates for short distances have
either been but slightly reduced or
have been left unchanged. For long
distances the 100 pound rates have
been somewhat reduced.

WHITE BABIES TURN BLACK.
Twins Rare AiIment That Is Gradually
Darkenina Their skin.


A rare disease is gradually turning
the skin of two eighteen-month-old
boy babies from white to black at the
Children's Homeopathic hospital in
Philadelphia. This startling change
was first noted at the beginning of this
month. Already their skin from their
heads to below their chests has turned
a light chocolate color, and the tinge
is spreading and deepening.
The children are twins, named Tony
and Powell Amato, sons of an italian
couple, whose seven other living chill
dren are normal.
"Pseudolukemia" is the term given
to this rare ailment. Pernicious amaze
mia. an extremely thin condition of the
blood, is a disease of which but few
cases are on record Pseudolukemia
is said to be 200 times rarer.
Lying in adjoining cribs in the hos
0ital. the heads and feet of the chill
dren, peeping from snowy garments,
present remarkable contrasts in shad-
ing. Judging from the upper portion
of their bodies, the children are color
ed. But the trunks and limbs are of
normal whiteness.
One of the surprising things about
these strange cases, physicians say, is
the marked increase in white corpus
cles in the blood. in the normal hui
man being there are about 100000
red corpuscles. The twins have less
ba
