OFFENDING FAT AND LEAN
Taft Denies Report He Lost Ninety
Instead OF Eighty Pounds While
ne Was President.

The man who claims credit for re-
ducing William Howard Taft's
weight, during the four years OF his
incumbency Of the White House, is
out with a statement which may call
for an emphatic contradiction from
the former president, asserts the
Christian Science Monitor. Says
the trainer referred to: "Mr. Taft
lost ninety pounds in the four years
he was president and during which
he placed himself under my con-
troll" Many people will remember
how Mr.. Taft disposed of a similar
assertion soon after he left Office.
Said he, in effect: among the mis-
representation to which | have been
subjected is that / lost ninety pounds
during the last four years. This is
untrue. | lost only eighty pounds"
This brings back a story Of Alex
ander II. Stephens, who had been
vice president of the Southern Con-
federacy, and who, after the Civil
war, was repeatedly elected to con-
gress from Georgia. He was an ex-
ceedingly thin man, and, one day,
there fell under his observation a
newspaper item saying that he
weighed ninety pounds. In reply to
this he wrote a letter to the editor
of the offending journal demanding
an immediate retraction. 81 will
not be slandered in this manner he
+ protested. My weight is "a pounds. y
! The former vice president was HIM
self an editor, with a habit of writ
ing very long articles for his paper
in Georgia, and the contemporary
which had made the unwelcome
statement regarding his weight re-
fused TO retract it for the reason. it
said, that Mr.. STEPHENS must have
had one of his editorials in his
pocket when he last tried the scales.
This would account for the differ
ence of four pounds between the two
figures"

PATRIOTIC SQUIRREL.

When workmeu were cutting down
4 large dead oak tree near Vermont
and Oriental streets recently, relates
the indianapolis News, a squirrels
nest was found in one Of the hollow
sections. Billie. the squirrel, is an
old-time playmate Of all the chill
dren in that neighborhood, but the
children did not know just where he
lived, so could not protect his win
ter home. Knowing this, the pet
had taken one of the numerous
American flags at the corner and
lined his nest with it, thinking it
would save the tree until next spring.
Billie had stored only a few nuts.
knowing that the children won I
feed him well during the winter.

Women's wells and the tapestries
Of private homes are to be utilized in
the Holy Land for the manufacture
of sandbags for the Turkish trench
es, according to the Constantinople
correspondent of the Geneva Trib-
une. The Turkish authorities in Pal
estine and Syria have informed the
local officers of Beirute and other
towns, the correspondent says, that
100000 sandbags are required in
the trenches at once for defensive
purposes. Inasmuch as sacks and
cotton cloths are lacking, "all silks
and tapestries" in dwellings are be-
ing Communicated, and soldiers IN
Syria have been told by their SUI
periors they must remove the wells
from any woman whom they may en-
counter in the streets.

70 SAVE FROZEN POTATOES
rubers Should BE Dried Out IN Gwen
VIII Lose None OF Their
autritiye Value.

Frozen potatoes are not neccs-
sarily spoiled, says tho Literary Di-
gest. anj q es ID 20 quote tie Revue
scicntifque OF follows:
"The potatoes must be dried
that j. 20 sav, the greater part OF
their water constituent must be rel
moved, to prevent decomposition,
which takes place very rapidly after
they have thawed out.
"The oven should be heated as
for baking bread. Then, when it has
reached the necessary temperature,
which is easily recognized in prac-
tice by the appearance Of the roof
Of the oven, the potatoes are put in,
cutting up the largest. They are
spread out in q layer so that evapo-
ration may easily take place, the
door Of the oven being left open.
From time to time the mass is
stirred up with a poker to facilitate
and hasten the evaporation. When
the drying has gone far enough, the
potatoes having become hard as bits
of wood, they are withdrawn to make
room for others.
potatoes thus dried may be
boiled with enough water to make a
paste similar to that which they
would have furnished if mashed in
the ordinary manner, and which will
answer very well, at least to feed
stock. The potatoes, in fact, will b.
| found to have lost none of the ele
ments that give them their nutri
tive value.

WEALTH OF SOUTH DAK0TANS
State is Neither Rich Nor Poor, but
Has No Sums and No Pow
erty Worries.

South Dakota has never claimed
to be the abode of millionaires, says
the Aberdeen Is. d. American.
Undoubtedly the men who have a
million can be numbered on the fin
gers, even though the whole state
be canvassed.
That this state is paying hundreds
of thousands in income taxes while
other states are paying their millions
is nothing to worry about. South
Dakota has no slums and no pow
crty at the other side Of the pendu-
lum. The swing in South Dakota
describes a small arc because most
people are neither very far above nor
very far below a state of comfortable
living.
South Dakota paid $49,164.33 tax
on personal incomes and SS12,24S.15
for corporations. In comparison
New York turned in $50 millions
for the first item and about the
same from corporations. ..rf

Importance Of Discipline.

There is not that thing in the world
Of more grave and urgent Importance
throughout the life of man. than is dis
cipllne. What need | instance? He
that hath read with judgment Of
nations and commonwealth, OF cities
and camps, Of peace and war, sea and
land. will readily agree that the
fiourlshing and decaying Of all civil
societies. all the movements and turn
ings of human occasions, are moved
90 and fro as on an axle Of discipline.
SO that whatsoever power and sway In
mortal things weaker men have attrib-
uted to fortune, burst with more
confidence ascribe either To the vigor
or the slackness of discipline. And
certainly discipline is not only the re-
moval of disorder but the
very visible shape and image Of vir-
tues; whereby she is not only seen In
the regular gestures and motions of
her heavenly peace rs she walks, but
also makes the harmony Of her voice
