son does what he can. and would appre-

toward finding chair that could use.
MRS A. NJ
This plea hope most earnestly can be
met by the generosity OF some Of the Cor
nerites. 1t is sorrow and burden enough
to have a child who is helpless or suffering
from any infirmity or retarded development
and the hearts of those whose children are
strong and well must go out in special SYM
pathy toward mother with such grief
1 trust this sympathy may take concrete
form and that some one who knows how a
chair can be obtained for the little invalid
will write to me for the mothers address
and help her as soon as possible.

for both man and beast. The Sunday
question Is important to me, as l was
brought up in the New England fashion
strictly to Remember the Sabbath and
keep it holy We were not allowed in any
way to desecrate the Sabbath. the work
was all done up during the week. My
mother had her regular days for her diff
ferent lines of work and there was nothing
done on Sunday except what was absolutely
necessary. On some Sundays we had for
dinner New England baked beans. brown
bread, white bread and butter. pickles. tea,
cheese. and pie, with supper at night. God
says if we obey His commandments He
will bless our land. MRS. j. w. S.
The judgment of the modern physiologist
confirms the wisdom of the Mosaic law in
many ways. and In none more than in the
necessity for man and beast alike of one
day of rest in the seven. We need repose
of both mind and body on Sunday and we
ought to get it for every reason. Perhaps
on this account I deprecate the more such
bill of fare as that my correspondent out
lines, which may have spared work to the
family in one way, but certainly imposed
heavy labor upon the digestive organs and
made Sunday anything but day of rest
for them. In fact. 1 have frequently been
struck by the blindness of the majority of
men and women to the provisions of the
fourth commandment when it comes to
eating. They change the hours of meals on
Sunday. load their stomachs at unaccus-
toned times tempt themselves to overeat
by lavish profusion Of dainties. and in
other ways seem to lose sight of the truth
the gastric powers are not excepted from
the rule of one days rest in the course of
the week. To them Sunday is frequently
the time when they are taxed beyond en-
durance and the general health during the
next week often shows the result of the
violation of precept.
The depression many persons feel on Sum
day afternoon when they have disposed OF
big midday dinner. the forlorn sensations
the next day. which have been at the foun-
dation of much of the abuse lavished on

of cases. be traced to the fashion in which
good religious minded persons have ig-
nored the truth that when you aff1ict one
member the whole body suffers. Give your
stomach repose on Sundays to limited
degree at least, and do not make the Sab
bath the time when you yield rest to other
parts of the body and scourge and drive
your digestion to unusual and unfair effort.

Washington, Jan. 14.-All OF che
Mexican federal soldiers now in che

Secretary Garrison ordered the

There are about 5000 of the Mexi-

probably will be used on the journey
of five or six days, as there will
have to b wagon teams for the sick

Secretary Garrison determined to
hold the refugees after an hours con-
sultation with Counselor Moore, OF
the State Department; Maj. General
Leonard Wood, chief of staff, and
Brig. Gen. Chowder, Judge advocate

What Ais the Country?

In his address to the Congress he
had summoned in extra session to
revise the Tariff, President Wilson
said:
The burden carried by the people
under existing laws must be lighten-
ed as soon as possible. The sooner
that is done the sooner we shall es-
cape from suffering, and the sooner
our men of business will be free to
thrive by the law of nature, instead
OF by the law of legislation and arti-
fetal arrangement. We must build
up trade, especially foreign trade.
We need the outlet and the enlarged
field of energy more than We ever
did before.
The Tar! lev which President
Wilson cid Maoh. 20 form and up
on the pas. {. ~.iich he conrsatu-
lated the county so fervefftly has
now been effective 70 days. That
Tariff law opened our own gates gen.
erously to the competition of foreign
producers, but 1t did not open a
single foreign gate to our producers.
The opportunity for reciprocity, so
significantly and wonderfully shown
in our relations with Cuba. was
ignored.
Even the effort of Congress TO re-
vive American commerce and ship
ping by restoring the time-honored
Democratic discrimination in favor
OF American ships was nullified by
the Presidents own order.
And we have had 10 days of dim
inshiing production. of gradually ex-
tending discouragement of failing
bank clearings in all sections, OF
diminished building operations and OF
languishing trade.
Mr.. Redfield, the Presidents Sec
rotary of Commerce, now asks for

tain what ais the country. lie wants

Such an inquiry. II thoroughly

France Earns Millions off
Tobacco.

According to statistics from France,
the tobacco monopoly of the French
government. Melted the State $685.
100000 last year. the largest return
since the foundation of the monopoly,
1902 years ago. The original capital
out of which this vast profit was
made was s30,OOO.OOO, or about one
third of the capita 'ization Of the iate-
ly dissolved American Tobacco Com
Ipany. The French government SUPER
vises the growing of all tobacco and
the planters are compelled to sell
their entire crors to the State at
a fair appraisement.
Twenty factories are permitted to
work up this tobacco, and cigars are
sold at a uniform price turnout the
entire country. Quantity makes no
difference. cigars costing just as
much when purchased by the thousand
as when bought slngly. The hotels
and restaurants buy their cigars at
the same prices for which they are
furnished to the general public. but
they add from so to 100 per cent as
their own profit. The rights to re-
tail tobacco are jealousy guarded
by the government and 1t is neces-
sary TO secure State permit before
opening any kind of retail store.
7 There is not much chance for an
ordinary individual to get rich SELL
ing tobacco in France, for these per-
mits are usually granted to the wild
ows OF army and navy officers, or
to employs of the government. The
widows, however, are permitted TO
lease their permits to other persons
in consideration OF fixed annual pay
payments. That the government con-
ducts its business with view to
the greatest profit is attested by for
elgn visitors to France who find the
tobacco OF an inferior quality 10 what
they are accustomed at home. But
the Frenchmen, not being familiar
with foreign tboaeco. do not know
the difference and so on smoking
the home product with as much gus
to as If II was OF the finest Havana
