COFFIN SHAPE FOR POISON
TARJETS.

Cleveland, Sept. 14.-An ordinance to
compel manufacturers to make all
poisonous pills and tablets in the shape
of a coffin will be introduced in the Cleve-
land Council by Councilman M. E. Bieder,
An unprecedented number of accidental
poisonings, mainly from bichloride of
mercury taken for headache tablets,
aroused the Councilman to seek a REM
edy.
Attention has been directed in this
department before to the subject of
making poison tablets Of such a
shape that they might be distinguish
ed by their form in the dark, and we
are glad that the time is at hand
when the change is to be made. AS
Cleveland is the home of pills and
tablets, it is fitting that the effort
to make the desired change come
from that city.

COMING BACK.

The vote throughout the county at
Tuesdays primary election gave con-
elusive evidence that the Republican
party is as strong, if not stronger
than it was before the November
election last year. In nearly every
district the Republican candidates
led the voting almost to 1. The
so-called Washington party was set
back into third place.
The people have awakened to the
fact that they have been worshiping
an empty shell. They have no par
ty. They are men without a coun-
try" so to speak So naturally they
turn back to the old party standard
as the Prodigal Son returned to the
house of his father. They have come
back on local issues but the ques-
tion is whether they are back on ma
tional issues. Progressives say their
movement is not local one but Of
nationwide interest. Reports from
various parts of the country do not
sustain this contention. The Pro-
gressiye movement is fast ebbing.
The Bull Moose is about to follow
on the long trail"
The Progressives were in meas
ure a party Of one man. 1t was
made of Roosevelt enthusiasts. Now,
one mans popularity, or power to
move the crowd, is not the most sub
stantial foundation on which to
build permanent political party,
but it is the best possible foundation
for a faction. They are not a CO.
herent national party, with politi-
cal program. But they are the i'm
passioned followers of one man, who
has swayed them by the power Of his
oratory,

have meat only for Sunday dinners,
except occasionally a few pieces in
stews.
Professor Leonard e. Hall, Lon
don Hospital, declared many people
of Great Britain were semi-starved
through mistaken forms of diet. He
explained the value of recently dis
covered "vitamines," the absence of
which from white bread made it less
nourishing than black or whole
meal bread in which they are pres
ent.

Father Hans Schmidt, the priest
of st. Joseph's church, Brooklyn,
who is in the Tombs charged with
the murder of Anna Aumuller, stood
revealed Wednesday, after Inspector
Faurot's investigations resulted in
the arrest of his associate, DR.. Ernest
Muret, as criminal jack-of-all-
trades. Murderer, counterfeiter,
fake medical practitioner, forger and
imposter were the terms written af-
ter his name in the police record and
the detectives who disclosed this
pentateuch of crime insisted that the
priest, far from being insane, in
reality was the possessor of a master
mind.

COST OF LIVING IN ENGLAND.

A discussion OF the cost of living
occupied most of the British Asso-
ciation's time at Birmingham, Eng
land, recently. Two women, Mrs.
Frances Wood, of Lister Institute,
and Miss Mathison of the Birming-
ham Social Settlement, carried off
the honors for research into the fam
lily budget of the poor. They reached
the conclusion that the cost of living
for the poor had increased per cent
in the last ten years.
They showed that workmen' s
wages in Birmingham ranged from
$4.S2 to Sc per week. The majority

Rabbits Are Plentiful.

From all sections of Pennsylvania
come reports of a great increase in
the number of wild rabbits. They
are encountered on the highways in
close vicinity to small towns and
many are making homes near farm
houses and farm buildings. At Kit
tanning they have pre-empted an old
cemetery in the center of town and
have increased in great numbers.
There have been no interments there
for some years and the bunnies are
unmolested by everything but dogs,
The CANNES chase them, but the old
fashioned slabs that cover the graves
hold the dogs at bay after the rab-
bit has gained his burrow.
Rabbits are very plentiful in
Wayne county.
