Washington, Aug 2.--The electoral
college may be controlled by equal
suffrage states in 1915. This poasib!l-
ity has occurred to members or con-
gross Of both parties. and is enpha-

GOOD JOKE ON DOCTOR WILEY
Darky Coachman Probably Did Not
Mean to Be Sarcastic But the Re-
mark Seemed Personal.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, our foremost
pure food expert, tells OF a trip he
made to a place in Carolina to make
a propaganda speech. 1t goes some
thing like this:
IL checked my bag at the station
and engaged an old darby hackman to
drive me to the hall. He seemed
very much worried over my lack OF
baggage.
"'Most every gent what comes
here's got something to SELL he said
Maybe youse got something to sell,
boss?'
"'Oh, yes I told him, I've got some.
thing TO SELL For a moment he
seemed satisfied. But his curiosity got
the better of him, and he broke out
with another question:
"'What might dat something be you
got to sell, boss?' he asked.

decided that / should have to give
some kind of an answer, SO l said, i

Rather Mean Trick of Stranger Whom
Robinson Had Gone Out Of His
Way to Help.

Robinson was one of those really
good-natured souls who are always
ready to lend a hand to a pal in dis
tress.
One day, as he was pegging along
on his bicycle down a narrow country
road. he came across a man holding
q ram by the horns.
"Hello!" cried Robinson. Can
help?"
Il should be much obliged" replied
the other, IF you'd hold this ram just
while l get hat gate over there open
Certainly" replied Robinson; and,
~dismounting, he boldly seized the ram
by the horns.
Thanks, awfully!" replied the
stranger, now on the further side of
the gate. "The brute attacked me
more than an hour ago, and I've been
struggling with him ever since. So
long, old chap! Hope you'll be as
lucky as l was!"

What do you want?" said the ant,

"A little food, and shelter from the

And, may l ask" said the unsym'
pathetic ant, how comes it that you
have wasted the summer"
The sun shone bright. Everything

TWO SCHOOLS OF
STRATEGY CLASH
French ard German Methods Put
to Test.
THEORIES EXACTLY OPPOSITE
outflankins Of Enemy Chief Feature
Of German Tactlcs-French System
ls More Varied and Less
Simple.

The clash between the armies Of the
French republic and the German EN-
pire will prove of extraordinary in
terest to military tacticians for many
reasons. Results should settle, for
some time to come, conflicting pTtnci-
pies of strategy which at present are
somewhat of a puzzle.
There is only one element capable
of confusing the issue, namely, the
totally different racial characteristics
and temperaments, in so far as they
interfere with the practical applica
ton OF the tactical theories which
have been worked out by the ablest
minds Of the two great military or-
CARNATIONS Of these powers.
AS far as can be learned, little fault
can be found with the condition of
preparedness of both armies OF the
Franco-German frontier. The German
forces, If anything, outnumber those
Of France, but when II is dealing in
millions the difference, pro~portionate-
ly considered, is really not so great
as 1t seems at q glance. Even a slight
superiority in maneuvering the huge
to have them in the right place at the
right time, may more than overbal-
ance any discrepancy in the total num-
Der of men in the field.
The German organization is the old
er. It's present system is built on the
fn,,ra,ffpn cr.rnHtr< hr ~, ,-s,+Drfn,,C
armies Of the Franco-Prussia war. In
discipline, training, mobilization and
principles Of moving large bodies OF
troops, it is the logical successor that
one would expect to find, making al
lowance for the development of mod
ern weapons, transportation facilities
and equipment.
Both nations have efficient aviation
corps. Germany has the advantage in
the number of d%irigibles, while France
has some $50 a~eroplanes already in
commission, against about 400 of the
Germans.
French Artillery Superior.
In the artillery arm it is generally
admitted that the French are supe-
rior. The gunners are faultlessly
trained, and the guns themselves are
of a more modern, powerful and eff
cient type.
To sum up, Germany outnumbers
France approximately 100000 to A.
000, 900 In total wal strength. She is
supposed to be slightly superior in
general discipline and training, while
in two special arms, aviation division
and artillery, France has a noticeable
advantage. This is how the materials
with which the rival tacticians will
have to work, compare.
Strangely enough, the underlying
principle or spirit Of the military or
ganization Of each nation would seem
to fit the other better. 1t Is the French
who have given the greater emphasis
to complex dispositions OF troops for
purposes of security and s~ureness, and
the Germans who permeate themselves
with the idea that simplicity OF tactics,
coupled with energy and ~ferceness of
attack, brings success.

Out on the Lake.

Far out on Lake Erie, nearly q mile
from Edgewater park beach, there
was a speck of black on the water.
Nearer shore there were other and
larger specks. Close in the specks be-
came boats, containing fishermen and
other people. There must have been
a hundred, all told.
On the hill that borders the park
beach a party of city engineers we're
at work.
Resting for a moment, an engineer
looked out over the lake. He saw the
farthest tiny speck.
Il wonder what that boat is doing
way out there" he unused. And he re-
marked to the others about him.
So they brought one of those things

Polo for Women.

Englishwomen were ever splendid
horsewomen, so n wonders why il
has been left to American women to
be first in the field with polo for
women. Many a hard match has been
played in the United States during
the last twelve months by mixed
teams, sometimes consisting of three
men c~aptained by n woman, and by
women's teams. AS one thinks of the
wonderful pluck OF u women here
who ride to hounds, their dash and

that they are born for polo if ever

DISAPPEARED
Coffee Ais Vanish Before Postum.

It seems almost too good to be
true, the way headache, nervousness,
insomnia, and many other obscure
troubles vanish when coffee is dis
missed and Postum used as the regu-
lar table beverage.
The reason is clear. Coffee con
tains a poisonous ,drug-caffeine-
which causes the trouble, but Postum
contains only the food elements in

lasses.~

wrote as follows:
