The Hungry Hat.

A certain Doctor Helm. a German
man of science, once stopped for
luncheon at hotel in Wiesbaden. The
chair next to him was unoccupied, so
he put his hat upon it. and sat down.
When he came to settle his account,
he was surprised to flad that he was
charged for two plates; but the head
waiter insisted that he had reserved
a second place. because no one could
sit where his hat lay so Doctor Helm
paid without a word
The next day he returned TO the
hotel. sat at the same table, and put
his hat, as before, on the chair next
to him. He ate hearty meal. and as
the waiter was about to clear away
the dishes, he said. ''Wait a minute.
friend My hat here, that is also pay
ing for dinner, is very hungry, as
you may suppose, since it paid for its
dinner yesterday, but didn't eat any
thing" With these words. Helm lined
his hat with a newspaper. and filed
it up to the brim with bread cookies,
fruit, and all sorts Of good things He
then placed the bullying hat carefully
under his arm, and walked out in
triumph.
The lesson had a good effect. for
since that time no one in that hotel
has had to pay for the seat that was
occupied by his hat.--Youth's Com.

new TARIFF RESULTS
Cannot Be Considered Other
Than Disappointing.
Question Whether Income Tax viii
counterbalance the Enormous
Shortage Shown in the Gus
toms Receipts.

The defenders OF the Wilson Under.
wood tariff are strenuously standing
on criticism of that measure by pro
testing that it must be given time;
that 1t has not yet gotten fairly into
performance. II may not be unpar-
donable, however. TO make a few
notation marks in the statistical re-
suits, under the new tariff, as these
results are given out from the vari-
GUS departments and bureaus.
A statement just given out from the
treasury department shows that the
customs receipts for January, 1914,
were nearly s6.000.00O below the re-
ceipts for January. 1913 The state
ment also shows that in January OF
last year the treasury took in $1,000
600 more than 1t paid out, whereas, for
last month more than $1,000. 900 was
paid out in excess of receipts A lit
tie reflection upon the significance of
these figures will lead to a guess about
what the size of the prospective treas
ury deficit of the fiscal year ending is
going to De. The income tax is re
source yet in the reckoning, but II is
a matter Of theory as to whether the
revenue from this source viii counter
balance the developing shortage in
the customs receipts.
AS to what the new tariff was to
do, but hasn't done--it was TO bring
down the high cost of living The
anxious ultimate consumer is yet
waiting for this to happen. 1t was to
stimulate foreign trade. There was a
marked decline during the last three
months OF 1913 both in imports and ex-
ports, as compared with the last three
months OF 1912. 1t was to make bus
mess hum. Is anybody being kept
awake o. nights by the increased roar
of the wheels OF industry?

RepubIleana strono In caIIfornIn.

The registration of voters In Califor-
mia is exciting great interest, largely
because of the fact that the unexpeet-
ed has happened. California has been
regarded very justly as a Progressive
stronghold Its governor, Johnson, was
the candidate for vice-president or
the Progressive national ticket, and
he is now a candidate for a second
term as governor. He helped undoubt-
eddy to carry the state for his party
last year, when it secured all but two
of the thirteen electoral votes. At the
same time the Republican party was
practically forced out of the field and
in the contest that followed the Demo-
Gratis won the two electoral votes that
did not go TO Roosevelt and Johnson.
But the registration for the first
month Of this year shows that the Re
publicans are now very much stronger
than either the Democrats or the Pro-
gressives. The figures up to February
/ are: Republicans, 1891; Democrats,
S5.512; Progressives, 4S,6SS.
These returns are partial only in tho
counties from which reports have been
received and are for only q counties
out Of a total of b8. But Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Alameda Oakland,
Sacramento and San Diego are includ-
ed. The Democrats show no very
great strength anywhere. The Pro
gressives are doing their best In Sac
ramento and Alameda. Tho Republi.
cans are strong everywhere. In Los
Angeles the figures are; Republicans,
2716S; Democrats, 12,44G: Progress.
siyes. 1876. In San Francisco: Re
publicans, 3.917; Democrats, 249S;
Progressives, 1858. ~ San Diego: Re
publicans. 9.049; Democrats, ISIS;
Progressives, 1,414. In Alameda the
Democrats are almost a negligible
third, while the Progressives regis
tered 1896 and the Republicans 49,
6S5 votes
Since the total registration may ex-
coed a million the end is a long way
off, but naturally the Republicans are
much elated by the returns so far.
Their party organs are already elect
ing a Republican delegation to con-
gress and taking control OF the state
legislature

WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR
SUPPLY OF WORLDS FOOD
STUFFS.

The present demand for foodstuffs
In all parts of the world, and the ex-
pense of producing 1t on high-priced
lands. would make it seem that west
ern Canada came into evidence at the
crucial period. There is to be found
the opportunity that will be a large
factor in meeting this demand. With
its millions of acres OF land, easily
cultivatable, highly productive, acces-
sible to railways. and with unexcelled
climatic conditions, the opportunities
that are offered and afforded are too
great to be overlooked.
There have been booms in almost
every civilized country and they we're
looked upon as such, and in the course
Of time the bubble was pricked and

development been as great nor as

North American continent, and their
Even with a two hundred million

Less than five years ago the wheat
crop was only 100000 bushels. II
is a simple calculation to estimate
that II four per cent. Of the available
cultivatabie area, produces something
over 200,000000 bushels, what win A
per cent. produce? And then look at
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 It was 49,149,
1900 being from the United States;
In 1906 1t was $4,000, OF which 81 1000
were Americans, and in 1913 Il was

An incident exhibiting another In.

Watch Carefully
the ChiI1J'S Diet
Sfcrf Them of Right With a Good
Laxative and Then Watch
Their Food.

Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet Of their
children. forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give IL indigestion, and
urge it to take more of what is quick
~ digested.
II the child shows tendency to
constipation 1t should Immediately be
given mild laxative to help the bow
els. BY this is not meant a physic or
purgative, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. What the child re-
quires is simply small dose of the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, which, in the
opinion of thousands of watchful moth
ers, is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to a con-
stipated child that care is necessary.
Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness,
and many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many of Americas foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin. be-
cause one can never tell when some
member of the family may need it,
and all can use 1t. Thousands endorse
1t, among them Mrs. M. E. Patten,
Valley Junction. Iowa. who is never
without it in the house. Mrs. Patten

says that Syrup Pepsin has done won
ders for her boy Ralph, who was con-
stipated from birth but is now doing
fine. Naturally, she is enthusiastic
about it and wants other mothers to
use it. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
sold by druggists at fifty cents and
one dollar a bottle, the latter size be-
ing bought by those who already know
its value. and it contains proportion
ately more.
Everyone likes Syrup Pepsin, as 1t is

one-Man Party.

Many Progressives insist, of course,
and honestly believe, that their prin-
ciples are not dependent on the
thoughts Of Mr.. Roosevelt The fact
remains, and cannot be- denied. that
the Progressive movement would not
have given birth to a separate and
great party. measured by the votes II
cast ir 1919, but for the personal
popularity, personal ambition and per
sonaI vindictivenegs Of Theodore
Roosevelt. 1t is nonsense to call 1t a

a Century koo.

One hundred years ago. following
Napoleon's unexpected attack on Blu
cher's corps at Brienne, in which Blu
cher narrowly escaped being made a
prisoner, saw a continuation of the
desperate efforts Of the French army
to halt the advance OF the allies on
Paris. The flames of the city of Brien-
ne, in which Napoleon had received his
first military lessons, facilitated Blu
cher's withdrawal Of his troops in good
order. Napoleon neglected to pursue
him on the S0th Of January, and Blu
cher, reinforced by the crown prince Of
Wurtemberg and by Marshal Wrede,
attacked him at La Rothiere. Here the
allies found that the French people,
Notwithstanding their immense misfor
tunes, still remained true to Napoleon
and were ready to flock anew beneath
the imperial eagle for the defense OF
their native soil.
