The Great Privilege of Illness.

Illness is the great privilege Of life.
Love only is comparable to it. They
are twin privileges. Both deny the
common value of things; both assert
that mans destiny is bound up With

is the only testimony we have. for the
Dody's evidence is a denial-a mega
tive assertion that the sparkle of con-

stance on substance, like steel on flint

IN FAVOR OF LEVER BILL.
Agricultural Committee Reports on
Warehouse Inspection.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The Lever
bill for license and inspection of
warehouses for staple and not per-

favorably reported to the house to-
day by the agricultural committee.
Chairman Lever said he expected the
house to act upon the measures with
in two weeks.
The farm marketing machinery
in this country has been demonstrate
ed by the war to be seriously weak" "
says the committees report. The
Inauguration under this bill of per-
missive system of warehouses under
federal license and bond would go
far in the direction of standardizing
warehouse construction, storage con-
ditions, insurance, accounting, financ-
ing and handling and marketing farm
products.
Cotton, grain. wool, tobacco and
like farm products furnish the very
best security for procuring credit,
yet collateral based on farm products
is rated as secondary. We are seek
ing in this bill to put farm products
in such position as to assert their
full value and strength through a
system affording negotiable invest

ceipt of such undoubted integrity
that it will flow into the general sys-

BILE upon at any time in the general
