s5sRD KANSAS INFANTRY IS.
SUES OFFICIAL HISTORY

Considerable interest is being man
ifested in the manuscript which has
just been completed by the historian
of the 353rd Kansas Infantry and
dedicated to the men killed in action.
The 353rd Kansas which was the
only regiment of the Middle West to
be decorated by the French govern
ment was part of the seth Division
made up Of drafted men and station
ed at Camp Funstons General Leon
ard Wood drilled this division and
took it to New York for embarkation
but did not sail with the men as
orders were issued for his command
to go across without him. Arriving
at the other side, this division was al
most Immediately plunged into the
hardest fighting, and covered itself
with glory.
This history follows faithfully and
in detail the activities of the 353rd
Kansas Infantry; is written in a clear,
strong and vivid style, and while his
torical in character, it furnishes
thrills unequalled in the most daring
fiction. Richly illustrated with maps
and photographs, this book, when
issued by the publishers who are now
printing it, seems destined TO enjoy a
high rank in historical literature and
to meet with considerable popularity.

BEING FAT is REAL TRAGEDY
To Modern Woman 1t Is Worry That
Frequently Leads to Ruined
Health and insanity.

a rat man is usually jolly sort OF
an individual who accepts the world
as the same sort of a joke as the
world considers him. Girth. says the
New York Sun. may worry a man Oc-
casional1y because ii is an annoyance.
but with the modern woman IT verges
upon tragedy. As physicians-if they
would talk freely-can tell you. IT is
worry to them that frequently leads
to ruined health. insanity or the
grave.
1t is possible for a man to grow
fat gracefully. AT least he can sub
due his habits stop running for
trains. give up his golf and spend
most of his time in ponGerous poses.
His tailor can easily arrange his
clothing into welI-known and accept
ed lines.
The case of the woman is different.
Fashion binds her as with a chain.
There are no stylish frOckS for stout
women. The fashion of today calls
for slim figures and trim ankles.
Waists and hips are taboo. There are
no sleeves capable of cOnceaiing over
heshed arms. Man can adapt his
clothes 10 his figure. but woman must
adapt he figure to the clothes. or else
shameIessly admit that she cannot
wear what is fashionable.
1t was not always so. In another
generation tile stout woman had a well
defined place-the ''dowager type" it
was sometimes called. The woman
who made the best biscuits and
cooked the most savOry chicken was
always a rotund sort of person who
never minded it when people came
unexpectedly around dinner time She
was the one children fiocked TO for
sympathy and the one who seemed
to make the world brighter wherever
she went.

FORKS FIRST USED IN 1874
Occasion Was Dinner Given by Henry
iii of France-Account Given by
Royal Guest

1t is hard to believe the sensation
produced when forks first came into
use. 1t was in 1874 al a dinner given
by Henry III of France. Here is
an account by royal lady guest, the
Ladies' Home Journal recalls: 1.-THE
guests never touched the meat with
their fingers but with forks, which
they carried to their mouths. bending
their necks and bodies over their
plates.
There were several salads. These
they ate with forks. for it is not con-
sidered proper TO touch the food with
the fingers However difficult it may
be to manage it, it is thought better
to put the little instrument in the
mouth than the fingers.
''Then artichokes, asparagus, peas
and beans were brought. 1t was a
pleasure to watch them try to eat
these with their forks. for some, who
were less adroit than the others,
dropped as many on their plates and
on the way to the mouth as they were
able to get TO their mouths.
"AfterwaFd a great silver basin and
a pitcher of water were brought and
the guests washed their hands. though
it seems as if there would not be much
scent of meat and grease on them, for
they had touched their food only with
those forked instruments"

MUST NATION RUN THE MINES

National control of mines may be
just around the corner.
Unless this industry gives the pub
lie a square deal and reduces the
price of coal prior to December 6,
Senator Edge of New Jersey, and
Senator Calder of New York, public
ly announce they will bring in bill
placing this industry under the most
drastic regulation permitted by the
Constitution.
These senators are not the only Of
ficials who consider this supervision
necessary for the coal industry. With
in a few days two of New York S
county attorneys have declared the
only remedy seems to be that the
entire coal industry in all its phases
must be taken under federal control.
The public now has much more
sympathy with the coal diggers than
it had a year ago. It realizes they
have to deal with this greedy indus
try all the time.
Senators Edge and Calder who
have been conducting an investiga-
ton of it, declare themselves "abso-
lutely disguised with the situation"
They say the coal industry stands
self-convicted, adding: eve do not
undertake to say that this individual
is a profteer and that other one is
not, but that the coal industry as a
whole stands self-convicted of prac-
ticing gross extortion on the whole
public of the United States"
It is fair to the better element of
operators ad dealers to say that they
have volunteered and attempted to do
a needed job of housekeeping in a
dirty industry. The trade acknowl-
edges the truth of the indictment,
that there are grafters in the indus
try who have given it bad name,
and the coal trade has organized to
put out of business or bring to book
those members who have dishonored
it.
Notwithstanding this attitude of
the better class of men engaged in
the industry, rank profteering con-
tinues and the public have been held
up. eff the coal men cannot solve
their own problem" say Senators
Calder and Edge, 1--WE shall have to
use drastic means to solve it.

Coal is higher than year ago. The
only difference is that it can be OBJ
tanned. Food prices, clothing, lumber,
metals and metal materials, even
shoes have declined in prce. But the

tient public. The gougers laugh at

Soldiers Poll Tax.

We have been asked the question
as to whether or not soldiers and ex-
soldiers must have paid their 1919
poll tax to enable them to vote in
the August election to be held next
Thursday.
The answer to this question is
YES.
Attorney General Thompson, the
highest legal adviser to State officials
in the State has held that soldier
must have paid his 1919 poll tax in
order to qualify him to vote in the
election next Thursday. He holds
this to be true Notwithstanding the
fact that the soldier may have been
in the U. S. Army on January 10,
1919, and out of the State of Ten
nessee.
The acknowledgements opinion is
based upon the Constitution of the
State, taken in connection with the
OIdJuIOly lC4uiA thoI u AAoh
must pay his poll tax in order to
vote in the elections of the State.
In the absence of decision of the
question by the courts of the State,
it is proper for election officials to
be governed by the advice of the
States highest law officer, who is
the Attorney-General.
The members of the Election Com
mission regret that the soldiers OF
this county cannot vote without bav-
ing paid this tax, but it is a matter
over which we have absolutely nc
control.
