1t Is expected that the testimony OF Mr..
Mellen today will touch on other matters
IN addition to the westchester deal, and
he probably may make some sensational

which was returned against him
for having entered into a trafic agree

which agreement the Department of JUS
tice contends was a violation of the anti
trust law. Mr.. Msllen, it is believed,
will attempt to show that persons higher
up were responsible for the agreement.
and that he shouldered the responsibility
for reasons which he will state.
Solicitor Folk stated yesterday that the

aminer to Jekyll Island to take the testi-
mony Of William Rockefeller. who has
been summoned as a witness. but who
has filed a physicians certificate setting
forth that he is unable to appear and

A NeiDhbOrJy Act.

The Frank Meyer heading and

of Robert Van Horn, of Blackhorse,
one day the past week and put the
old gentleman's crop in the sack for
him, and after the job was complet-
ed in good shape, they silently pull

a day to complete the work, all of
which was done without compensa-
ton on the part of Mr. Van Horn.
For more than year past, Mr.. Van
Horn has been an invalid and con-
fined the greater part Of the time to
his bed and not able to perform any
manual labor, so when the time ar
rived that his little crop of grain
should be harvested, his neighbors
took it upon themselves to attend to
the Job and save theik sick neighbor
all the expense in connection there
with that they could. ]. W. Mar

Exhibits Committee are beginning to
realize the great Importance and the
wonderful scope that this exposition

in one or two buildings, but as coun-

Oregon and Washington commence
to realize the importance-through

have secured space ranging from 100
to 500 square feet, for the purpose
of displaying grains, grasses, fruits,

NO NECESSITY FOR
So MUCH SICKNESS
What You Should Do to Keep Well
as Cold Weather Approaches.

There is no real necessity for the
large amount of sickness, both triv-
ial and serious, in the fall. The
body is built to adjust itself to ex-
tremes of temperature and to wide
varieties in weather conditions. The
one principal thing necessary for the
body to make the adjustment need
ed for weather changes, is simply
good care. If we eat properly and
take good care of the body we can
be well in fall and spring, in sum-
mer and winter; we can have all-the-
year-around health.
Many of our fall disorders are
made possible by reason of run
down" condition of the body, due to
summer overeating. The hot
weather makes it impossible for the
body to burn up the amount of
heavy food frequently eaten. The
unused food fills the body with waste
materials, overworks the vital or
gans, and lowers the disease-resist-
ing power, so that by fall the body
is ready to take in whatever dis
ease is prevalent. II the fall finds
you run down." cut out all heavy
food for few days, eating only
fruits and vegetables, and see to il
that the body's great sewers, the
bowels and the skin, are wide open
A few days of this treatment will
clean out the system, rest the vita
organs and prevent an attack of i'll
ness. Following this, heavy food
AS the weather becomes cooler
may be cautiously consumed.
the body to keep itself warm, needs
more of the fats, such as butter, ba
con, fat meats and oils for food; also
slightly more of the starches, sucl
as breads of every kind, potatoes
rice and cereals. An increase in the
meats is also needed as the coo
weather advances. However, care
should be taken not to overeat
Overeating is an almost universe
habit.
Bad air plays an important part il
causing our fall colds, sore throat
and other disorders that develop al
we begin to house ourselves up, afte
practically living out Of doors during
the summer. AS cold weather ap
proaches, don't neglect to open widc
the bed room windows at night ant
to open up the house and change thu
air during the middle of the day.
Disorders Of digestion make up ;
greater part of all diseases, because
abuse of the stomach is the common
est form of health abuse.

After a trial at Moscow, Idaho,
lasting for seven days, Rev. j. d.
Crooks, well known Methodist min
lister, was acquitted of the charge of
numbering his wife. Because Of the
prominence of Rev. Crooks and his
wide acquaintance throughout this
section, there was much interest in
the outcome of the preliminary hear
ing. While the case was gone into
quite thoroughly there was nothing
produced to substantiate the charge
of murder, and no grounds for hold
ing him to the higher court could be
laid. Rev. Crooks was in attendance
at the annual conference of his
church at Weston the past week.

A CONTRAST.

A contrast---and its chief cause
is shown by the cases of Preston,
Pennsylvania, and Wellsville, Kan
sas. The Pennsylvania town is said
to be the "wickedest in America. -
Four hundred and twenty-five Of its
five hundred inhabitants drink whis-
key, and four hundred and fifteen OF
the four hundred and twenty-five arc
said to get drunk regularly. Wells
Vile, the Kansas town, forty-eigh'
miles from Kansas City, is forty-four
years old, has population Of seven
hundred and fifty and has never had
saloon in it's history. 1t has never
had a case of rape or Of murder; a
pauper, a thief, or lawyer. OF
course it's inhabitants are not all
saints, but they have no pool-rooms
and no bawdy houses. There is g
twenty-five-t e-thousandIdollar school
house, set on sixty-acre play
ground. There are brick and ce
ment sidewalks, and brilliant street
| lights at. all crossings. Everybody ir
town works hard except the town
marshal. Once an agent for mail
order liquor house visited Wellsville
but before he had booked any order!
fifteen feminists, armed with horse
whips, marched to his hotel-ant
the salesman departed minus hi
sample-case.
Would you rather buy real estate
in Preston, Pennsylvania, or II

in America" or in the Kansas com
munity?-Rene Laidlaw in Septem
