A Timely Warning.

Cornell University has again demon
strated the value of scientific research
by the warning, just issued from the
university's department of animal nu-
triton, against eating transparent cigar
wrappers, or cigarette wrappers, or
transparent wrappers around anything.
Transparent wrappings that are used
for food or cigars should never be
eaten" says the announcement, since
MANY of them have additions in process
other than pure cellulose. The animal
nutrition laboratory of Cornell Uni
yersity has fed large amounts OF
specific form of cellulose to rats, mice,
fish, swine and even to men. In this
form it is harmless and large amounts
of it may be eaten without injury. This
does not mean that all forms OF trans
parent wrappers should be eaten In
Discriminatory"
Now that is worthwhile common
sense! If all of our universities would
devote their energies to practical hints,
such as do Not Eat the Wrapper Oh
Your Cigar" or Eat the Candy-Not
the Box" this would be happier and
q better world. If it had not been for
this warning, how many thousands OF
cur good citizens this Summer would
be blaming that pulled-down feeling on
the humidity and not have placed it
squarely where it belonged-on eating
the wrapping off their cigars?
1t is sincerely to be hoped that Cor
nell's caution will have proved timely
warning and that every one will now
stop eating cigar wrappers. .All that
glitters is not pure cellulose Ground
glass, match sticks, old bricks and
faded neckties are other good things not
to eat.

Invention has compelled nations TO
be more neighborly. Trading which
promotes mutual understanding is fully
recognized as far more important than
war which destroys it. 1t is upon bar
gaining that civilization largely depends
for success, regardless Of which party to
the bargain may assume temporary ad-
vantage.

considerable number of bills

Some Survivors
Among those successful in run
ming the gauntlet were measures
to restore Fort Owen, to increase
the salary of the state game war
den, appropriations for the state
fair and for the university, increas-
ing the educational qualifications
OF teachers, submitting a constitu-
tional amendment for consolidat-
ion of the board of equalization

state levy.
1t refused to concur in house
proposals to finance a memorial

to establish a legislative reference
bureau, to permit establishment of

The house finally disposed of the

concur. Earlier in the day the
measure to decrease real property
valuations suffered the anne fate

According to the Glasgow Times
there were some lively yerba
clashes between the lawyers or
the two sides. The News says in
part:
Mr.. Slattery. summing up the
case for the state. launched into a
vitrolic denunciation of defense
witnesses, and sending unusually
Venomous shafts at DR.. MD. Hoyt.
w. E. Arnot,, brother-in-law of the
defendant: Robert Arnot, son of
the defendant, and DR.. Ell. Brad
ing, THE boy doctor from Great
Falls" He laid much stress on the
details OF the alleged murder plot,
pointing out that, far from being
the circumstantial acts of a defect
i've mind, they were the deliberate
ly planned acts of an extremely
cunning mind.
Mr.. Hurd, presenting the plea
Iof the ueIenSe, repeatedly charg-
ed the prosecution with attempt
ing to cover up" matters and per-
sons which he inferred might have
important bearing on the trag-
edy. into the details of which he
threatened to go to the bottom
Of" when the opportune time came.
Pointing frequently to the defend
ant, he begged the jury to consid-
er the unfortunate situation Of

More than 400 have reached him in
the last two days, and White House
officials said he desired to exam
inc some of them more fully. He
signed less than a hundred before
noon but added 1870 more during the
afternoon.
This action leaves still alive one
OF the main pieces ofnew legisla-
tion-the bill by Senator Robert F..
Wagner, democrat, New York. to
set up a federal aid system of I'm
ployment exchanges in several
states. Mr.. Hoover received this
several days ago, and it is the only
major bill still Enacted on by the
president. The president signed
a bill extending the 1O-cent a
pound tax on naturally colored as
well as artificially colored cleo
margarine-a measure of much
significance to western farmers.
But many pending bills, more
than 300 postmastership nomina-
lions, and several appointments to
offices died with the congress.
These included the nomination of
Gunnar Nordbye to fill a new Mimi
esota federal ~judgeship, which was
opposed by blind Senator Thomas
D. Schall, republican, Minnesota.

previous lowest was SO inches in

"a cold wave in the middle of

Some of the unusual features of

and grasshoppers were seen on the
prairie in January and February,
less fuel was required for heat
ing, sportsmen played golf and
boys played marbles and went on
hiking trips. The economic value
of the mild winter was the saw

time of unemployment.

DEMOCRATS FEAR SPLIT
OVER PROF IBITI0N

Washington, Mar. 4.-GUP)-The
question of prohibition as an issue
Of the 1882 presidential campaign
was expected to develop at the
March 5th meeting OF the demo
cratic national committee.
Senator Morrison of North Caro-
lima. in the face of repeated reports
that Chairman Raskob of the nat
ioal committee, will call for a com
mitment against national prohib-
ition has organized a strong dry
bloc.
That the resolution might not be
offered was indicated in the activ-
ity of certain veteran leaders who
fear the results should the commit
tee widen the breach which prohib-
ition already has caused.
If the question is brought to a
showdown, dry leaders are count
ing upon Senator Robinson, senate
leader to defeat the resolution.
Presidential timber, however,
will be the principal discussion be-
fore the committee. Several per-
sons have been advanced to deter
mine the peoples reaction, and
most of them have come from the
anti7prohibition faction. Most
prominent of those mentioned
hus far are Governor Roosevelt of
New York, Governor Richie of
Maryland, and Senator-elect J.
hamilton Lewis of Illinois.

GAS SERVICE IN
SOUTHERN CITIES
BY William Z. Cannon

United Press Staff Correspondent
Butte, Mar. 4-The greatest Mon
tana construction project since
the pioneering of the trans-con'
%tinental railroads, the tapping OF
Northern Montana gas fields for
the industries and the cities of
Southern Montana, today was an
assured fact.
Contracts for the project were
signed late last week between the
Montana Power company and the
Anaconda Copper Mining company
and Louis B. (Tip) O'Neill.
The huge construction program,
~entailing and expenditure of be-
tween $4,000, 900 and S12, 600, 900
IN pipeline construction during the
next twelve months, will supply
Butte and Anaconda and their in
dustries with natural gas. Other
cities where the utility has fran
chises also will be served.

new wells will be drilled at once
on acreage he controls in the Cut
Bank field in northern Montana.
Work on the pipeline and addit-
ional wells will be started as soon
as weather conditions permit, o.
Nell announced, and gas will be
flowing through the main by Jan
uary l, 1892, if engineers are able
to make the progress anticipated.
This immediate district has a
greater potential consumption than
any region between the Twin Cities
Seattle because of the opera
ions of the copper industry. At
east ten billion cubic feet Of gas
will be used annually.
