wrote the word "housekeeper' instead

According to the government investlga-

learned Yesterday, there are ten big con-

be obtained from these concerns by any
thing that looks like a druggists order

pounds OF opium would serve the legiu-

Measures for restrictive national laws
to cover this situation will be discussed
at the conference to-day, in addition to

,,,nortsnt evidence yesterday from OFF,
oials Of the Henry Siegel Bank at a SIT
ting In the Aldormsnic Chamber OF CITY
Hall.
Frank L. Champion, cashier OF the
Segel bank, furnished sensational tesu-
mony. and was followed by William D.
Dougherty. assistant cashier.
Both testified that for six years oaily
statements OF the affairs Of the siesel
hank had been kept from Henry Siesel.
This vas done. they said, because siegei

and conducted the ordinary business OF

as TO the safety OF the concern and he
told them There is no chance Of any
thing wrong
The money OF depositors brought 10
The bank for about a week preceding
the failure was ordered by Nogel TO be
aggregated and was eventually turned
over to the receiver. Champion told the
committee. The reason for this action
was not explained 10 him, he said. lie
declared further:
There was no collateral for any OF the
loans the bank made. John r. Butler
manager Of the Simpson Crawford store
received a loan Of $500 and gave no Sc

banks business l received an envelope
containing stock securing loans made to
the stores and the deposits on hand.

fl540o0 without security during the first
two years Of the banks existence and
paid per cent interest. Three days be-
fore the failure security was given for

the actions OF any Of the big, reputable
business houses which are nominally pri-
vate bankers. 1t is the less responsible

though there will be some limit placed on
the big bankers. the bill will be made 10

men.
We will place limit on the size Of the
deposits and FIX uniform rate of inter

Wolfram is not the name OF Wild
beast. even II the word is apparently
cmbination of the names of two
well known members of animal soci-
ETY.. Neither wolf nor r1m, taken sep
aratel, has anything to do with 1t.
There may be 4 great many people
who know-and again n great many
more who do not know-that wolfram
is a mineral, and that tungsten Is the
metallic chemical element found there
in, O fact which gives it an importance
il might otherwise not have.
In a series of pamphlets describing
the various countries of Latin Ameri-
ca, published by the Pan-American
Unson, Washington, ID. c., VIII be
found two, those on Argentina and
Bolivia, In which It is stated that these
countries each export annually. among
many other minerals, something over
500 tons of wolfram. That brings on
the query: What is wolfram?
wolfram is really the most common
" known of the various tungsten ores,
and is the tunstate of iron and man
ganese. 1t is dark brcwn-almost
black-in color. is very dense and
heavy, being frequently mistaken for
iron ore. and is heavier than metallic
iron itself. II is said to have been
first discovered by a Swedish sailing
master in 1871. hence its name tung,
meaning heavy. and stem, stone
heavy stone. Various tungsten ores are
mined and exported by several coun-
tries, the chief supply coming from
Queensland. Portugal, Argentine, Bo-
livia and the United States. some OF
the most prolific deposits being found
in California.
What's 1t good for? To make the
filaments in our incandescent electric
lights for one thing. thereby saving TO
the consumers a total of something
over S240,0O0,O00 a year. That of it.
self is enough to establish its impor-
lance. BY a method discovered by
one of the large electric companies OF
the United States It is now possible
to draw tungsten metal into a wire
as fine as one-thousandth of an inch
in diameter so that the wire is pliable
and can be wound upon spools like
sewing thread. II is used in one piece

own union are united. Each may have
self-government as It pleases and be
independent; but all international dis
putes must be referred to a central
court; and the sole army and navy
of the world must be at the disposal OF
this court.
There is no possible way out of it
except this.
There are two principles of world
government. One is empire. which
means I'm a nutshell that each nation
must be prepared to whip any or all
other nations. This was the program
Of Julius Caesar and Napoleon. This
is the idea that may bring about the
destruction of Germany. II is wholly
impracticable. It means a war from
time to time, wasting infinite lives and
money.
The other principle OF world-gov-
eminent is federation. which means
each nation minding its own business
and settling international questions by
a delegated body.

Beef Tea Not a Food.

Clear beef tea contains almost moth.
ing but non-nutritive beef extractives
some salt and water. 1t is a mild
stimulant, an appetizer, but not food
The very best beef tea one can make
contains far less nutriment than an
equal quantity of milk. A pint of well
made beef tea is equivalent to an ounce
of beef in actual food value-but not
always so good for the patient as a
bit of the beef itself.
Animals fed on beef tea exclusively
will die sooner than animals fed moth
ing at all This apparent paradox is
explained in the second sentence of
the preceding paragraph. Being a
stimulant, beef tea causes more rapid
wasting; 1t fans the vital fire. making
the tissues burn up more rapidly than
normal
At Present Market Prices.
Beef tea is a very extravagant lux
Ilry. The clearer the tea-and fastid-
ious patients usually object to the
slightest appearance of grounds"
which are really nutritive-the more
extravagant IL is. The solid, insolu-
BILE material left behind when beef tea
is prepared contains practically all of
the nutritive substance of the meat.
What is here said about beef tea ap-
plies also to other meat broths, and
TO most of the ready-to-use liquid beef
preparations as we'll.
Clear. lean beef, freed of gristle and
fat and cut into moderately small
pieces, is really more readily digested
than liquid food. Scraped beef. prepar-
ed by scraping out the lean pulp from
steak with a dull knife, broiled just
enough to remove the raw color, is
often administered TO patients well ad-
vanced in typhoid fever or other ser
ious illness. Even II digestion fails
to alter the meat at all. the softness
and small size of the pieces insures
freedom from serious results. Milk
curds are apt to be much harder and
larger and more dangerous than scrap
ed beef in the alimentary canal.

APPEAL FOR THE SCHOOL.

The National Education association
in it's session at st. Paul adopted the
following declaration:
The ASSOCIATION views with great sat
isfaction the genuine progress being
made in the cause of education as
manifested in the wider public inter
est, the better equipment of school
properties, the increased attention TO
the preparation OF teachers, the wider
range of study and inquiry and the
deepening interest on the part of
teachers in the welfare of children
and in the society for which the chill
dren are in preparation. The associa-
ton expresses its belief in the efficacy
of a system of public education wisely
adapted from time to time to the needs
of our growing democracy and calls
upon the citizens of our country to re-
spond with increasing loyalty to the
interests of the children by ample pro-
visions for the needs of the public
school. Attention is called to the close
relation between the home and the
school in any complete view of society
and the association expresses its abid-
ing interest in the maintenance OF the
American home in its integrity as the
cial progress and declares its belief
that the American home and the sys-
tenn of American public schools con-
stitute the most important bulwark of
our democracy.
