If child is hungry after shool let him have some bread and butter and glass of milk, but not enough to dull his appetite for supper. If child is actually hungry, and growing chil- dren often are because their tissues and bones and muscles are being built up every moment of the day. he will eat bread and butter and be satisfied. If he has to have sweets he is not hungry.

Daily Courier. is the defendant in what is believed to be the first action of its kind ever taken in the United States. the federal grand jury. at Springfield, having brought an indictment against him for defrauding the government in the fil- ing of false circulation affdavits, and in mailing newspaper to unpaid sub scribers as second class postage in stead of as one cent postage as re- uulred by law. The government has not. heretofore, attempted to make publishers prove statements regarding circulation made to the postal anthor- ities every six months. as required by law. -
 A foreign advertiser was responsible for the inquiry into circulation figures. He used both Taylorville papers and suspected that the local field did not warrant the circulation claimed by the two newspapers, making complaint to the postal authorities. There was an audit by post office inspectors and the indictment Of Martin followed.

Bu II. IRDlNG KIN
DROPPING BREAD

TT YOU drop bread on the floor pick
I it up Immediately; to leave 1t there
would expose you to very great trouble
in the near future. This superstition
is but one of many in which fingers
the idea of the ancients with regard
to the existence of a spirit of the
Corn" This corn spirit was to them
something to be propitiated, encour-
aged, implored-its benefcence or it's
niggardliness in the harvests meant
for them life-or death. Volumes
have been written concerning this
ancient worship of the Spirit of the
Corn-more correctly the Spirit of the
Grain-and of all edible farm products.
Many of the ceremonies connected
with it exist today in Europe in
form but little modified from the
ancient ritual. And in the worship
of the corn spirit not only the seed,
the growing crops, and the gathered
sheaves but also the bread into which
the "corn" was made bad its part.
SO when bread is dropped on the
floor to let it lie there would be an
insult to the 'corn" spirit. There

consumed by the Wild Bull.

that respect than did some Philadel-
phians who were as eminent in other
ways as Firpo in the ring.
Senator Penrose was prodigious
meat eater. saw him at breakfast
devour two eggs, large broiled fish
and handsome beefsteak, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
AT dinner two ducks were for him
not an unusual chase after oysters and
fish,
T. De Witt Cuyler matched the SEN
ator as hearty eater. At the Ritten-
house club 1t was quite the customary
thing for him to follow half a dozen
oysters with large fish, an extra big
porterhouse steak and top them of
with a quail
John G. Johnson did as well as that
and I saw him begin a meal with a
dozen big oysters.
Henry E. Walton, former speaker of
the Pennsylvania assembly was an.
other famous diner. His physician
once ordered him to walk a mile in
stead of eating lunch.
