Food Minimum.

The irreducible minimum for living
expenses seems to have been attained
by Roger Grab, the hermit, who lived
at Icckenham, near Uxbridge. About
1641 he began to restrict himself to a
vegetarian diet, avoiding even butter
and cheese. From roots he got diet
consisting chiefly of broth made from
turnip leaves and thickened with bran.
and he finally resorted to dock leaves
and grass, with bran pudding tas an
occasional delicacy. He drank moth
ing but water, and lived on three far
things week until he died in 1880. at
the age of sixty. London Chronicle,

COURT HOLDS SERVICE BODY
HAS NO POWER TO UP.
SET STATUTE.
RAIL LINES TO TAKE APPEAL
New Rates Would Have Been Effective
March I, But Judge Slate Says
Maximum Rate Has Been
Fixed by Legislature.
Jefferson City.


An appeal to the supreme court
will be taken from the ruling of Judge
Slate of the Cole County Circuit
Court that the public service commits
sion has no power to change a maxi
mum rate fixed by the legislature.
Under the last order of the commits
sion, the date for the new rates to
become effective was fixed as March
1. Most of the roads have filed their
schedules under this order, which
provides for an increase of per
cent in freight rates and one-half a
cent per mile for passengers not using
1,000-mile books.
The order of Judge Slate automat-
ically will prevent the railroads from
putting the higher rates into effect
until the supreme court takes final
action on the constitutional question
Judge Slate ruled that the Wabash
and the Chicago & Alton Railroads
cannot maintain separate litigation in
his court, involving the power Of the
commission to make and enforce
higher freight and passenger rates.
Both companies sought to have the
order dismissing the proceedings
against all the railroads so modified
as not to apply to them. This the
court also denied.
NJ. E. Rhodes was attorney for the
shippers.

Land Bank Promises Cheap Money.

The Gardner State Land Bank Act
foreshadows a day of redemption for
Missouri's land owning farmers. The
purpose Of this act is to encourage
agriculture and the development and
improvement of farm lands in Mis-
souri,. These are commendable OBJ
jects and are worthy the support of
all citizens who have the welfare of
the state at heart.
The state of Missouri comes to the
rescue of it's own struggling land
owners by proposing to advance the
sum of one million dollars as a loan.
OF this amount, 100000 is to be
loaned to farmers on first mortgages
at per cent interest, and one-half per
cent in addition for the purpose OF
establishing a reserv fund. This plan
aims to give loans to farmers on mort
cages at the cheap rate of 4 As per
cent
On this basis no commission nor re-
newal charges can be made; and the
farmer himself determines what his
annual or semi-annual payments shall
be and now long the loan shall run,
which cannot be less than five years
nor more than 20 years. All fear of
foreclosure is removed as long as the
payments are made regularly, and
every pr9caution is taken to protect
the borrower against injustice and
the investor against loss.
The principle set forth in the land
bank literature cites numerous cases
and examples of exactly how the act
will take effect. Tho borrower him,
self is allowed to fix the amount he
wishes to borrow, within reason, and
When he makes an interest payment
he also reduces the amount of the
principal until at the expiration of q
given period, principal and interest
have both automatically disappeared
