SPEED DETERMINATION

an auto which passes you is going
twice as fast as you are?
This question was put to City
Treasurer d. l.. Conkiing in police
court today by Attorney (. c. Peters
appearing for F. ]. Cation, accused of
speeding.
Mr.. Conkling said Cation passed
him and James Pierce on Kalakaua
avenue April 10 with muffler wide
open, and was going so fast that II
sounded like a bunch of firecrackers.
How fast were you travelling at
that time?" Mr.. Peters asked Conk

"And how fast was Cation going?n
"At least twice as FAST"
This was too much for the attor,

you the only living auto expert?"
Conkling modified his statement ia
S5 miles an hour Cation pleaded
guilty and paid $25 fine.

originally proposed by the utilities
commission. .-.' f..
The final draft of the amendments
is being worked up today and will be
passed to the governor some time
this afternoon .
1t will be accompanied by letter
for the governors perusal, expressing
the ideas of the utilities commission.
There has been no formal approval Of
the amendments by the commission
as drawn and PROBABLY will not be
until after the governor has acted
on them.
He declared this morning that he
has awaited the time when the sug.
gestions would assume definite form
and would carefully consider the draft
submitted to him. He said that he
had not given any thought or study
to the subject for the last few days.
Some of the city officials, particu.
larly Supervisor Hollinger, intimate
that the commission, in sending the
draft of the bill to the governor with
out making outright recommendations
for it's acceptance, is passing the
buck" Chairman Forbes replied to-
day that the commission itself has not
finally passed on all the provisions
and would not do SO without giving
the governor an opportunity to con.
slider the bill.
"Our letter makes certain COM
ments, but we are not going to tie up
now to hard-and-fast plan," he ex.I

that he was not sure he could get

SALARIES IN MOVIES.

The newspaper dispatches tell us
that little Mary Pickford, the moving
picture actress, has signed new con-
tract at a salary of 100000 a year.
This may be press agents dope pure
and simple. 1t probably is, but it Is
such reports that produce unrest, and
even socialism, in this land. Miss
Pickford is beautiful woman, is a
clever screen actress and is probably
the most popular of all the stars now
engaged in this mode of livelihood be-
fore the public today, but no single in
dividual contributing to the amusement
of the public earns a half million a
year, or half that amount, or a third
or fourth or a fifth or a tenth of it..
That Miss Pickford is a great drawing
card and is worth to herself all that
she can get, no one will question, but
that she should pull down any such
enormous salary as is reported or any
considerable part of it, causes the pub
lie to gasp, and to contemplate the
fabulous profits in the motion picture
game. No wonder trust Of the trusts
already engaged in the production is

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Water is Good ReHerage-

I notice physicians recommend six
or eight glasses Of water per day. Is It
desirable for one with intestinal indi-
gestion and stomach trouble to drink
80 much as that? Would not the
fermented food be diluted and carried
into the blood, causing headache,
autointoxication, ETC.?
Answer-That would not make ary
difference, or rather such q person
should drink even more water. At
mealtime, if desired; cold water Just
before or in the course of a meal is
an aid to digestion.
Iodine for Warts.
Will tincture OF iodine cure warts
il applied every day?
Answer-Paint the wart and a little
of the surrounding skin every third or
fourth day only. 1t will cause them to
isappear-perhaps
Afternoon Fever.
Would anemia cause one to have
temperature Of 100 afternoons?
Answer-Hardly. The anemia NAV
be from tuberculosis.

people Of Nicaragua are to be given
the right to express their will for the
selection OF president That will be
a remarkable state Of affairs for Mica
ragua where, for 20 years, dictator
ship and revolution have interdicted
and made such a condition impossible
AS the secretary of state expressed it
in an official letter when he dismissed
the Nicaraguan Minister from the
notorious that under the regime OF
President Zelaya, republican institu-
tons have ceased to exist in Nicaragua
except in name, that public opinion
and the press have been strangled and
that prisons have been the price of
every demonstration of patriotism"
President Diaz has just issued an
announcement through the press. and
says he will make it official by proc
lamation in the official Gazette, that ut
has been the basis of my program OF
government to restore in Nicaragua all
the republican practices" To that end,
he continues, the most important is
the succession of one-term presidents
in the executive power, selected by
popular will.
AS the presidential election in Mic
aragua occurs Oct 1 next, and as pol
itics are warming and the parties are
gathering themselves together, this
announcement is most significant The
present generation, Except the older
people who were active before 1899,
know nothing Of a popular discussion
Of candidates for the presidency, or a
| free registration Of voters, or of any
expression Of the popular will. Such
| things were not permitted under Pres
ident Zelaya from 1898 to 1910.

Dieting does the business. And can
we outline suitable diet? Only nv
due consideration Of the patients in
dividual requirements and his indi-
vidual condition. The diet must con-
tain sufficient energy TO meet the pa
TENTS demands and sufficient variety
to supply the essential elements of M
triton. A ready made diet is almost
as bad as ready made medicine. Hum
an beings are seldom exactly alike.
The one fact that applies in most
cases Of fermentation and 7atulencv
is ntemperance-hast eating and
overeating.

IT takes the average dyspeptic or
Indigestion victim from one to five
years to learn that so-calIed "diges-
tive tablets" pepsin, and other alleged
aids to digestion are utterly worth
less, so far as curing the dyspepsia is
concerned. Then perhaps it takes him
another year or two to find out that
"starches" and sweets" are not nee
essarily the only foods which will fer
ment in the stomach or bowel.
II something critical doesn't hap
pen in all this time, say frank ap-
pendicitis or an attack of honest-to
goodness gladstone collie or something
else which establishes the real nature
of the stomach trouble" at last, the
poor sufferer may ultimately discover
a diet" upon which he can get along
with fair degree Of comfort. The diet
may be ever so scientific and rigid in
its limitations, but it always has this
characteristic: 1t doesn't over-feed
the individual quite so much as his
customary bill of fare.
The TACT is that most or the 1ullness,
distension, fatulency, fermentation,
gas, bloating and embarrassment of
the heart which dyspeptics suffer Is
caused by overeating. If more food is
consumed than the stomach and in
testine can assimilate, the excess re-
mains unabsorbed, and of course I'M
dergoes bacterial fermentation, with
the production of various by-products,
such as gas, organic acids and toxic
ptomaines.
There are various conventional
modes of treating such a condition.
First, the use Of digestive ferments-
which is generally disappoint-
ment. Second, the use Of intestinal
disinfectants which are supposed to
prevent fermentation, but don't; for
the reason that anything strong
enough to prevent bacterial fermenta-
ton will likewise prevent digestion,
and as a practical fact no agent has
yet been found which will disinfect
the intestinal canal. Third, taking

Inheritance tax and the other bills"
What is your idea jas to how to get
more from the income tax" | asked.
BY sharp increases of the rates on
the higher incomes" Mr.. Kitchin re-
piled promptly. Besides, some Of the
brackets can be brought closer togeth-
er-the jumps between the sizes of the
big incomes are too big; we can grade
them up little between 90, 25, 30, 40
and As thousand dollars a year, and
so on, increasing the rate on each
classification. OF course, the biggest
ones must pay the highest rate. In
some respects no doubt the admins
trative features of the law can be cor
rected, if there are any ways in which
its administration can be made more
perfect; and we will hear what the
secretary of the treasury has to say
on that subject"
What" I asked, will your legisla-
ton include as munitions to be tax
ed?"
Just the we'll known, obvious
things that are known as munitions
explosives, guns, rifles, powder, bull
let's, shrapnel."
You would not include Missouri
mules"
by no means" answered Mr.. Kit
chin.
"Nor cartridge clips made by can
company"
Il don't know" he answered. Per
haps things like that would come In.
That would have to be worked out by
experts in studying this kind of legis-
lation, They are studying and work
ing on it now"
will you have the support of the
majority of the house on these propo-
sitions?"
Il don't see how they can be fought, y

the large number Of murders commit
ted in 1914 and 1915. without hanging
in Chicago and strongly urges upon
the courts and the juries that the
death penalty he speedily reestablish-
ed for the wholesome effect it would
no doubt have. The report says, for
instance, that if there was an execution
every Friday for a period OF six
months I'VE believe that murder would
be looked upon as a more serious Of
Tense and the number of murders
would be thereby greatly re-
duced" Attention is called TO the fact
that during the year 1914 the grand
juries of Cook county voted 1855 in
dictments for murder and during the
year 1915 there we're 1913 indictments
for the same crime and yet in the past
four years the death penalty has been
enforced in only one instance. The
argument than these figures to show
that something must be done to make
this committing of murder more dan
gerous than 1t now seems to be. From
this it appears that the death penalty
has been abolished practically in Cook
county and the results are not such
as to encourage Governor Mccall in
trying TO wipe it out entirely in Massa
chusetts. assuming that human nature
is about the same there as in Chicago.
The great point is. TO inspire fear of
the law in the hearts of criminals and
as the fear of the death penalty must
be greater than all others the Cook
county grand jury appear to have the
best Of the argument.

INITIATING GRANDMA.

We all know some dear old lady
who never used the word "Ieg" in her
life except when ordering a leg of
lamb.
As a young lady" she covered her
feet with her skirts when she sat down.
AS belle" she studied herself in the
looking glass largely as a surface re-
Fiction. She never seemed to think
that what was underneath her dress
had TO be expressed outwardly, or that
it was the concern of any passing
stranger
Lots Of fashionable girls nowadays
look as if they used the X-ray when
they pose before their princess mir
rors. And those who call present
fashions decadent are loud in their
condemnation Of the girls. But is this
fair? In recent symposium Of pro-
fessors Of the University of Wisconsin,
requested by the girls of that institu-
ton, the subject being the young wom-
en- themselves, Professor Z. A. Ross
said:
The young women Of the university
conduct themselves with freedom, ease
and naturalness which is never found
in girls who have learned to be on
their guard against the wiles and ma
Iicious gossip of men"
Professor Ross has bravely put a
truth which will account for many
conspicuous abuses. Certain styles of
dress reveal a degree of sophistica-
ton concerning the wiles and gossip
Of men which cheapens the girl who
wears them. OF course no one would
want any girl to initiate her grand
mothers prudishness and substitute
limb" for "leg" in her vocabulary.
But just at present initiating grand
mother little more closely IN skirt
lengths would be attractive, both mod
estly and artistically.
