KTHE Bacon-Shakespeare contro- | versy, stoutly waged these many years, is back where it started. Judge LFrederick A. Smith of the circuit court, Chicago, dissolved an injunc- tion granted by Judge Tuthill, who
 leaped into Wherein Lord Verulam fame there .IIs Thrown Out of Court by, credit
 ing tn e Iauthorship of shakespeare's works to Bacon.
 As the matter has been thrown out of court, Colonel Fabyan and Will liam N. Selig, who went to law" over it, will have to continue their squabbles without legal assistance. The renowned Judge Tuthill grew sick of his fame ere it had reached it's full flower. The ridicule heaped upon his devoted head for his decision" soon made him loath the newspapers and shun reporters, He is sadder and wiser man now.
 The Bacon Shakespeare controversy will probably continue as long as there is a single Baconite left to give battle, but it has probably appeared for the first and last time in court. ssT WELCOME high meat prices," ! says Dr. D. H. Kress, evangel- ist. Ut tends to lessen meat con- sumption, and that means fewer di- vorces. A milder man and gentler woman will come with the consump- ton of less blood giving food like meat.
 Dr. Kress evidently believes that
 meat eat Advice That Wives May CTS are Or May Not Follow more con- than vegetarians. According to this idea, all that is necessary for unin- terrupted connubial bliss is a steady diet of hay, term used in scorn by lovers of thick steaks, to denote the kind of fare vegetarians affect.

When it comes to contentiousness the average meat eater is no worse than the average vegetarian.
 In arguments, particularly as to the superiority of his diet over all oth- CTS, there is well grounded belief that the vegetarian is the most contentious person on earth.
 1EAJ. GEN. TASKER H. BLISS, Nl assistant chief of the general staff of the army, who was sent by the war department to the Mexican bor- der with instructions to make sur vey of camp conditions and report in detail the result of his observations,
 has completed his Good Food But inspection of the Some Unrest Brownsville district
 and what he learned there will doubtless correspond with conditions in the other districts to be visited. The department will make all of General Bliss reports public. The gist of the one printed in yesterday $ Age-Herald was that the food pro- vided for the National Guard was ample and excellent,' the camps ap- parently satisfactory to the men and the sanitation up to first class stand ard.
 The absence of intoxicating liquor among the troops on the border, thus far seen, was noted with high sat
 
 isfaction by General Bliss. Not only are all the enlisted men abstainine from alcoholic beverages, but the of ficers have set the example of total abstenance, something that would have been unthinkable in military cir cles in earlier times.
