little change Will Only be Noticed Between the Taft and Roosevelt Platforms. THINGS WARMING UP Wm. Flynn Says He Did Not Come to Chicago to Organize Demonstration. (United Press Service.) Chicago, 111., June 8— (Special to Dally Democrat)—The Indications were today that there would bo little difference between the platform adopted by the republican national convention whether the Taft or Roosevelt iorces control. There will be no endorsement of the Aldrich currency plan, no matter who may control. The tariff plank of the Taft forces declares lor a revision downward on the “intelligent recpnimendations of the tariff board.' 1 Senator Borah and other Roosevelt supporters said today that the Roosevelt forces would declare for a lower tariff. The initiative and referendum, with certain limitations, will be endorsed if President Taft concontrols, and without reservation if Colonel Roosevelt controls. The Taft platform will favor strengthening the Sherman anti-trust law and free, unreserved federal control. The Tait party will, however. opi>ose the recall ot the judiciarv. Chicago. 111., June B—(SpecialB—(Special to Daily DemocrM) —The republican national committee seated the Taft delegates from the Third Arkansas district, the vote arriving at the final being unanimous on motion of Frank B. Kellogg, a Taft supporter. Thirty policemen were placed about the coliseum, where the committee is meeting. Their duty will be to see that order is preserved in case that the feeling between the Taft and Roosevelt forces becomes acute.

Chicago, 111., June B—(SpecialB—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Taft delegates were seated in the Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Arkansas districts. Fifteen representatives of the fifteen states where the Roosevelt forces are strongest met behind closed doors in convention today. William Flynn of Pennsylvania, was chairman of the meeting, it was 'decided that since the Taft forces would apparently win all ci’ the contests that the Roosevelt forces begin a personal campaign among the delegates in an attempt to have the convention to overrule the national committee's temporary roll call. The committee seated the Tait delegates at large from Florida this afternoon, giving President Taft thirty six of the contested delegates. Chicago, 111., June B—(lt's8 —(It's a damn lie," declared former State Senator William Flynn of Pennsylvania, when asked today regarding the report that he had come here to organize a “popular demonstration’’ and to impress the republican national committee with the force of the claim of Colonel Roosevelt for the republican presidential nomination Flynn asserted that Roosevelt was coming here, but declined to say when. HE HAD THE GUN, Otis Wells, in a drunken condition, walked into Murray’s saloon about 1 o clock and asked for a drink. Being refused the same by the bar tender and warned to get out of the Place, he thought a couple of other men in the place were making fun of him. He exhibited a gun and again asked for his drink. He was persuaded to retire gracefully and the police were notified. Marshal Peterson picked him up and took him to court where he became boisterous again. The mayor sent him to jail to sober up. He had a 32-calibre revolver, fully loaded, in his possession, and it is said that he caused another scene hear the city building. o — C. H. DIBBLE INJURED.

SHORT” BOTTOM BERRY BOXES. 1 his vicinity needs a county or city sealer ot weights and measures, to look after the berry boxes with false bottoms. The state board has made it a rule that boxes shall be of uniform size- no false bottoms or low measures. The duty of the s.aler is to see that this is complied with. When the berry season first opened and berries were shipped in, they *ere in the regulation boxes of full measure, because they were inspected b.' sealers at points Where officers have been appointed. The homegrown berries, however, go on the market, without inspection because we have no sealer, and the boxes do not ail come up to the standard. The matter of the appointment of sealers is loft to the county commissioners, the law regulating the office being created at the last legislature. WHITE BREAD BEST State Chemist H. E. Barnard Settles Question on This Point for All. SOME WHO DIFFER But Barnard Expected it—ls the Most Healthful and Purest of All. It is all settled again. White bread is the best, and you can't make anything else out of it. The people knew it all the time, but they were afraid to say so until a higher authority made the assertion. H. E. Barnard, chief chemist for the state board of health, expected to be I contradicted, when he said recently, that bread made from the patent process wheat flour, or white bread, was superior in good quality to bread made from graham, or "whole wheat" flour, or corn bread, but he did not expect as much adverse comment as he received. Organizations of women, housewives, and some women who have studied household economics have rushed to the support of the ' whole wheat’ fad, but have been unable to beat down the figures supplied to Mr. Barnard by the bureau of chemistry of the United States department of agriculture on which he based his assertions. The only point which whole wheat bread is shown in the figures to have the advantage over white bread lies in the protein content, which is better by two-tenths of 1 pek cent, an almost negligible quantity, it is held, in point of heat calories a pound, the basis of computing food values, the whole wheat bread is not only inferior l»to white bread, but to corn bread, as well. The white bread, in this re- ■ spect, is shown to be superior to corn bread. I Mr Barnard pronounces the whole 1 wheat bread movement a fad, although there has been a popular belief that it is more digestible, and it is recommended in many instances 1 as a part of the diet where a patient is suffering from stomach trouble. The University of Minnesota agrcultural experiment station, in Bulletin No. 71, thus sums up experiments made In artificial digestions in whole and patent wheat flour breads. "From the results it will be ob- ' served that bread from standard : patent flour was most completely dii gested in the acid pepsin solution. Bread from entire wheat flour was I less digested and bread frgm graham flour was least digested'' of all the three. The results agree with those obtained in the experiment with men." o MORE ABOUT THE COAL PRICES The price of hard coal purchased this month is $7.75, not only in Decatur but every where else in this section of the country. This is a price of $8.15, with forty cents off for cash. The coal dealer cannot help himself and the price is general. The article in Fridays paper said a discount of forty percent would be given. This was an error and should have been ■forty cents per ton.” In July the discount will be thirty cents, in August twenty cents and in September ten cents on the ton. .— o Mr. and Mrs. Asa Engle left this morning for South Bend, where they will spend a week visiting with their daughter, Mrs. Marvin Mygrant.

TEN MORE DON’TS Rev. Bustard, Rockefeller’s Cleveland Pastor, Gives New Commandments FOR WOMEN FOLKS And Tells Husband to Put Them Where “Dear” Wife Can Read Them. lut these in your wife’s mirror where she can see them every morning.” said the Rev. W. W. Bustard, Rockefeller’s pastor of the Euclid Avenue Baptist church at Cleveland, Sunday evening in introducing “Ten Don ts for \\ Ives." His dont’s are as follows: 1. Don’t marry a man for a living but for love. Manhood without money is better than money without manhood. 2. Don't overdress nor underdress; common sense is sometimes better than style. 3. A wife with a hobble skirt and a husband with patched trousers make a poor pair. A woman can throw more out of a kitchen window with a spoon than a man can put into the cellar with a shovel. 4. Don’t think that the only way to run a house is to run away from it. It is wrong to go around lecturing other women on how to bring up children while you are neglecting your own. 5. Don’t tell your troubles to your neighbors. They have enough of their own. Fight it out with your husband if it takes all summer. 6. Don't .nag. The saloon keeper is always glad to welcome your husband with a smile. 7. Don’t try to get more out of a looking glass than you put in it. Nature’s sun/Kine is better for women’s beauty than man’s powder and paints. 8. Don’t make gamblers and drunkards out of your children by running

whist parties for prizes and serving punch with a stick in it. 9. Don't forget to tell the truth, especially to the conductor about the age of your child: honesty is worth more to you and him than a nickle A boy who is eight years old at home and six on the cars will soon learn other things that are not so. 10. Don’t forget that home is a woman's kingdom, where she reigns as queen. To be the mother of a Lincoln, a Garfield or a McKinley is to be the mother of a prince.
