WITH CITY'S PRIDE AT HEART
Santa Fe journal RegretfuIIy but
Firmly Calls Attention to Mu-
nicipaI Dereliction.

The New Mexican does not wish
to be unpleasant or unduly critical,
but a dead rooster at the corner Of
Palace and Lincoln avenue has lain
there unburied for three consecutive
days.
There Is no doubt about that roos-
ter's death. No physicians certificate
is required, as the passerby may tes-
tify. He has passed away. Now,
while one rooster occupies compare
lively little space, and while a casual
visitor to the city might not notice
him, the principle Of the thing Is
wrong. One tourist might see that
rooster and fail to see the old palace;
and his report on Santa Fe would fea-
!ure the fact that it had no facilities
for interring or removing defunct
roosters.
Let no visitor to the Oldest-Newest
city in the United States e unburied
roosters on our street corners. 1t Is
the little things that go to make the
big Impressions. Every rooster re-
moved and buried makes Santa Fe one
rooster the cleaner, n rooster the
brighter and more attractive. \
Let US let no dead rooster escape
or any other debris, animal, vegeta-
BILE or mineral on the streets Of this
beautiful capital city Of New Mexico.

WANTED TO KNOW
The Truth About Grape-Nuts Food.

1t doesn't matter so much what you
hear about a thing, it's what you know
that counts. And correct knowledge
is most likely to come from personal
experience.
About a year ago." writes a N. Y.
man, Il was bothered by indigestion,
especially during the forenoon. l tried
several remedies without any perma.
nent improvement.
my breakfast usually consisted Of
oatmeal, steak OF chops, bread, coffee
and some fruit.
Hearing so much about Grape-Nuts,
I concluded to give it a trial and find
out if all l had heard of it was true.
80 I began with Grape-Nuts and
cream, soft boiled eggs, toast, a cup Of
Postum and some fruit. Before the
end of the first week I was rid Of the
acidity of the stomach and felt much
relieved.
"By the end of the second week all
traces of indigestion had disappeared
and l was in first rate health once
more. Before beginning this course OF
diet, l never had any appetite for
lunch, but now I can enjoy the meal
at noon time"

~RertiIlonized Art.

eff the Pierpont Morgan collection
are put on the market" said an art
dealer of Fifth Avenue, 1T is safe to
say that a lot of fakes will be exposed.
: There is no business so riddled
with taking as the art business, espe-
cially the oil painting branch of it.
Hence a new movement in Paris, the
worlds art center, is Of interest This
is the B~ertillonizing of all future paint
ings. The artist not merely signs his
paintings, but, il he adopts this new
movement, he thumbprints them as
we'll. He makes an impression Of his
thumb in the wet paint below his sig
nature.
The thumb print is the only really
satisfactory Identification mark for hu-
man beings, and it promises to be the
only satisfactory guarantee Of paint
ings in the future. A number Of French
artists have recently taken to Bertil-
loniztng their work. 1t Is probable
that the excellent idea will spread
from Paris all over the world"

how he liked the place and the PEG

Greenville.-That the attendance

in the history Of the local association

Henry T. Mills, who is daily in receipt
Of letters and kilograms from well
known horsemen from all over the
country announcing their intention to
bring horses for the spring exhibi.

the attendance at the Greenville show

Extraordinary Legal Decision.

An extraordinary situation has been
created in Nice by the decision Of the
local tribunal in a case brought against
one of the finest and newest hotels in
the town by a hairdresser and Wig
maker carrying on business In a street
at the side Of the hotel. The hair
dresser, says the Standard, sued the
proprietor of the hotel on the ground
that his light had been spoilt by the
height of the building that had been
put up so near him, that his wtg-mak-
ing required a strong light, and was in
reality a work Of art Of great value:
He merely asked that the hotel should
be pulled down. The extraordinary
thing is that Judgment has been given
in the h~airdresser's favor, and the ho7
tel proprietor has been ordered tostake
down a building representing q vast
sum of money.

Returned to Life In Coffin.

To be buried alive in the cemetery
of Hochwald, in the canton of Soleure,
was the fate of an elderly Swiss lady.
After the burial ceremony the grave
diggers were about to fill in the grave
when they heard knocking in the cof-
fin. Instead of rendering immediate
help they fed in terror to inform the
doctor and the priest. When the doc,
tor arrived at the grave the coffin
was opened and it was found that the
woman, who had turned over. had
died.

PeeIino Onions for a Living.

The profession of onion peeling Is
not one that obtains much notice, yet
there are at least five hundred women
in the East end of London earning their
living by removing the skins Of onions.
With practice, they can make four or
five shilIings per day. Very often they
have been peeling since childhood,
daughters succeeding mothers.
1t is not a profession you a learn
in one lesson, for the onion juices
are of no use for picking. The onions
are always peeled in water. This Is
not to save the eyes of the peeler, but
Is done to keep the onion white.

CATTLE FOR YORK MARKET
Much Interest is Stirred in Organi-
cation For Raising Cattle For
Home Market.

Rock Hill.-There was q large at
tendance of farmers and those inter-
ested in the development of agricul-
ture in this section at the meeting
held recently in the auditorium OF
the chamber of commerce for the
purpose Of organizing a live stock
association.
The association was organized with
about half a hundred members, n
T. L. Johnston, president of the Peo-
pies National Bank and one Of the
largest planters in the county, was
elected president. ]. A. Barber, an
other prominent planter, was elected
secretary. The organization starts Oft
with the manifestation Of great inter-
est among the farmers In the matter
Of introducing stock raising in this
section and improving the breeds OF
both dairy and beef cattle.
President John T.. Roddey, OF the
chamber Of commerce, ! presided at
the meeting and, in presenting w. W.
Long, United States demonstration
agent for South Carolina, stressed
the scarcity Of beef cattle In this
section of the state and the rapidly
increasing prices of beef. Mr.. Roddey
declared that cattle raising is a Q
essity, that the people must have food
and meats will soon be out Of reach
Of ordinary people unless the supply
Of beef cattle is increased.
MI. Long, in his address to the
farmers, spoke Of the fact that beef
is now being shipped into this coun'
try from Argentina, and even from
Australia, and he said it Is only a
question Of time when a large part Of
the meat supply of the United States
will have to be purchased in other
countries unless American farmers
seriously take hold Of the problem
of raising more cattle at home. He
spoke also of the fact that agricul-
tural exports from this to other coun-
tries are decreasing, and declared
that American farmers must learn
to increase production.
