The Session a Failure

The legislature adjourned last
Saturday after passing a law au-
thorizing the issuing of 81, 600, 600
in bonds, which is $500, 600 more
than the cost of the present coal
strike. Both bodies were domi-
mated by Governor Ammons and
the element that has controlled
him since the strike began, with
the exception of a few members
who were anxious to bring about
a plan of some kind that would
settle the trouble.
1t is thought that President
Wilson will appoint a commission,
similar to the one that settled the
anthricite coal strike during the
Roosevelt administration, which
seems to be the only way left to
bring about permanent peace.
If Governor Ammons is allowed
to withdraw the Federal troops
from the district and send the
tate militia with its present
corps of officers back into the
field it will mean a reign of terror
much worse than anything that
has occurred there yet.

ExnIorer Not PracticaI.

Dillon Wallace, who accompanied
Leonard Hubbard on his foolishly
planned and worse executed trip into
Labrador ten years ago, has now
chiseled an inscription on rock
where poor Hubbard died. He de
scribes Hubbard as an intrepid ex,
plorer and practical Christian" a
phrase on which a sermon might be
preached. Intrepid" Hubbard was, but
his reliance upon Deity to make UP for
his own bad judgment was pathetic
was, in fact, tragic, and gives to
Wallace's term practical Christian"
a grim if unconscious humor. Virtue,
unhappily, does not take the place OF
venison nor piety of pemmican. and ii

SKIN CLEARED.
BY Simple Change In Food.

1t has been said by a physician that
most diseases are the result of indi-
gestion.
There's undoubtedly much truth in
the statement, even to the cause OF
many unsightly eruptions, which many
suppose can be removed by applying
some remedy on the outside.
By changing her food a Kan. girl
was relieved of an eczema which was
a great annoyance to her. She writes
"For five months I was suffering
with an eruption on my face and
hands which our doctor called eczema
and which caused, me great deal OF
inconvenience. The suffering was al
most unbearab1e.
sThe medicine I took only gave me
temporary relief. One day happened
to read somewhere that eczema was
caused by indigestion. Then I read
that many persons had been relieved
of Indigestion by eating Grape-Nuts.

taste of the food and was particularly
pleased to notice that my digestion
was improving and that the eruption
was disappearing as if by magic.

Population of Earth.

The population of the entire earth
is around 1000, ,000-one thousand
six hundred millions. Of this -pmber
Asia has over half, S5O,00O,OOO; africa,
127,000,O00; North America, X ),000,-
600: South America, 45,000,000. Aus
tralia, 100000; Europe, 3S0,0Q0,000;
polar regions, 100000. There are no
means of estimating the increase of
the earth's population, owing to the
paucity of statistics and the compare
lively recent date at which any sort
of statistics were possible. But it is
safe to say that from now on, owing
to the spread of science, the human
increase will be greater than ever be-
fore.
