THE NEW POPE.

The elevation to the papal chair of Cardinal Delia Chlesa, one of the most brilliant and one of the staunchent supporters of the church which he represents, indicates the wide freedom exercised by the college of cardinals in Its choice of a successor to the late pontiff, Plus X. There were probably a. dozen other members of the college projected on the public mind through distinguished service for the church, either in religious or state matters, and in the course of the election several of these have been discussed as the probable successor to the place. The new chief prelate has attained distinction by his efforts in maintaining the dogma and ethics of his denomination and individual views as evidenced In his pastoral letter in January, 1914, inveighing against what he considered the influences most inimical to the state and society generally, indicate that he will be a forceful element in the progress and betterment of mankind.

Cardinal Delia Chiesa, too, is considered a friend of peace. Three of the nations involved in the present terrible war are strongly influenced by the Vatican by reason of the preponderance of their citizenship affiliating with the church. The Vatican is looked upon as one of the elements that will eventually be asked to end the strife. The new pope's Inclinations in that direction are therefore welcome.

FIXIfMG GAS RATES.

A compromise between Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Gas company in a controversy over the gas rate for the next five years Is a further indication of this particular city's ability to achieve results quickly and profitably. The authorities of Minneapolis last summer passed an ordinance providing for a rate of fifty cents, too low, it was claimed, to yield fair returns upon the capital invested by the company, to stimulate efficiency and to reward an excellent and comprehensive service. The company resisted by litigation, but in April the compromise mentioned was effected, the average gas rate for the five-year period, sixty-five cents, being approximately an even split of the difference between the rates contended for by each party. Minneapolis already had a low gas rate, and what is more important an exceedingly progressive and actifve gas company. The community will gain by the settlement, will save a great deal of money which tvould have been spent in legal and engineering services and has eliminated a bitter controversy which politicians would have worked cleverly to their own gain and that of no one else. The civic energies of Minneapolis, perhaps unequalled in organization by those of any other city in the country, will i^ot be hampered in genuine productiveness by the petty sport of utility corporation baiting. 4

FRIEND IN NEED.

It is interesting to speculate on the fctatus of this nation at the conclusion the "world war" should President \|PIlson be successful in maintaining absolute neutrality and should no untoward event Interpose to spoil our present relations with the combatants.

creased in importance and difficulty, but also much more than doubled in volume. Withdrawal of diplomatic representatives by the hostile nations has been almost invariably followed by a request that the United States assume charge. At Paris, London, St. Petersburg, Brussels, Berlin and Vienna the difficult duty of representing hostile countries has been cheerfully accepted. Spain is the only other nation which has been called upon to contribute the services of her diplomats, and Spain has had few requests in comparison to the large number which have been made to the United States. The entry of Japan has placed still another diplomatic burden on this country.

The almost universal demand for the services of American diplomats is a compliment both to the quality of American diplomacy and to the determined neutrality of the American nation. Were there any suspicion that the United States favors either side, both sides would not look to her for diplomatic assistance, nor would the requests be made were there not high confidence in the ability of the American representatives.

For the time being, the United States is seiMng cheerfully and gratuitously as the world's diplomatic agent The situation is one that has grown naturally out of President Wilson's wise course in each new emergency that has arisen. It should enormously enhance the Influence of the United States to the far corners of the globe in commerce and politics.

WAR, THEN AND NOW.

One of the pioneer German residents a few days ago recounted in the Tribune some of the war history connected with the siege of Sedan in 1870. Such events as he described strongly contrasted war then and now.

Forty-four years ago the Germans besieged Paris for four months. The city was not prepared for a siege, and the suffering was great. The capitulation was practically the end of the war.

It is becoming increasingly likely that a German army of invasion may again fight Its way to the gates of Paris. The slow but steady advance from the Belgian frontier has Paris as its avowed goal. Unless the allies can strike a crushing blow at the immense army of the kaiser, Paris may once again be subjected to the process of starvation.

But this time Paris will not starve so soon. The government has been busily hoarding food supplies within the fortifications. There is said ?o be food enough to last for an indefinite period. Jlorses, cats and the animals of the zoo will not be sought as table delicacies.

Moreover, science has made advances since 1871, and one line of advance has been in the development of concentrated and tabloid foods. Nourishment of this kind may not be altogether satisfying, but men can live on it and fight on it.

Aside from the undoubted fact of the city's deliberate preparation for a siege, the Germans will be confronted by another difficulty if they attempt to wait for Paris to starve. In 1870 and 1871 the French armies were crushed and practically helpless before the beginning of the siege. In 1914 a besieging army would be compelled to withstand and beat off constant attacks from without. France is not crushed, and from England great armies will continue to come to France's aid. A German besieging force might, in fact, find Itself besieged and be forced to fight its way out.

THE TYPEWRITTEN LETTER.

Nowadays one of the little Irritations of life Is to discover an individual or firm that clings to the prejudice against the typewriter. After an illegible epistle has been deciphered one feels like subscribing to a fund to purchase the perpetrator a writing machine. In this day of perfected business methods it would seem that any firm with a volume of business of any degree owes it to Itself to adopt perfected business methods.

As a matter of fact It Is rather aside the mark to label either the typewritten letter or the type-signed letter as a discourtesy. That Is not the kind of stuff of which courtesy is made.

There is a great deal to do these days. The short cut In and out of business is inevitable, and sensible people must not be too squeamish

September Is rated as an autumn month, but the "melancholy days" of 1914 can add little or nothing to the world's woe this year.

Among the other examples of Inconsequential expenditures can be mentioned the $1,500,000 epepended for the unsailed yacht race.

about it. The typewritten letter along with other modern ways of doing things expresses no lack of thought for the comfort of another person. It is clear and readable.

In these matters of courtesy too many of us strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.

The telephone with Its demand for Immediate attention and its unoqualed propensity for Interruption has far greater possibilities for discourtesy than some of the other short cuts of business which come in for criticism. In matters of courtesy, surely not the empty form, not the old established convention, should be the test of an action, but the effect of that action upon the comfort and pleasure of the other person.

HOROSCOPE FOR A BAY.

Friday, September 4, 1914.

The partial eclipse of the moon, which takes place tonight is read as indicative of the death of some great or illustrious person since it falls in the second decan of Pisces.

Mars and Saturn give warning o? multiplying disputes among the Enropean powers and Increased danger of the spread of the war spirit.

Astrologers find the aspects for today rather sinister, for, while the sun and Mercury are friendly early In the morning, the sun, Venus, Neptune and Mars are all adverse later In the day.

Under this sway it Is wise to restrain all aggressive acts, for the influence of Maris Is held to encourage egotism, criticism and 'enmity. It Is not a good rule for domestic harmony. Disputes over property or concerning the dwelling place are said to be most common when this figure exists.

Ancient lore found this aspect advantageous for certain household activities. It Is lucky for the hiring of maid-servants.

A slen read to indicate more diplomatic troubles for the United States is noted by the seers. Trivial incidents that cause gossip will disturb the president. Spain has a threatening aspect.

Persons whose birthdate It Is have the onten of anxiety for the coming year. They should avoid risks of every (sort, especially those that may bring illness.

Children born on this day have fickle stars to guide them. Boys may be Inclined to be exceedingly lazy and girls may be fickle In their love affairs. Their magnetic centre is the sun in Virgo, and Mercury Is their principal ruling planet.

BIG PLANT RAZED BY FIRE.

Shelbyvllle Wardrobe Company Suffers $100,000 Loss. SHELBYVTLLE, Ind., Sept. 3.—The Shelbyvllle Wardrobe company's plant, valued at $100,000, was razed by fire here.

The blaze started on the third floor from an explosion that occurred when a spark blew through a window into a can of fine shining wax. Many of the employes had narrow escapes. The flames cut them off from the stairways.

Alonzo Comstock Jumped from a third story window and was seriously injured. Jerome Collins was taken down with a ladder after he had hung by his hands from a third story window for several minutes.

Chief Justice White will administer the oath of office first to M!r. Gregory and then to Mr. McReynolds. The commission of an associate justice is signed by the president and his attorney general and It Is necessary that Mr. Gregory take offlce first.

OVERCOME BY GAS.

While working In an alley, between Fifth and Sixth streets, north of Wabash avenue, Edward Kennedy, of 1832 Lafayette avenue, was overcome by gas fumes about .1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. He recovered later and was able to continue his work. Kennedy, with several other workmen, were repairing a broken surface pipe and they were required to work In a shallow hole.

ENJOY MELON FEAST.

The candidates on the republican county ticket were all present and made brief addresses. Recitations by Margaret Burns and Thelma Ward added to the pleasure of the occasion.

A Real Flesh Builder For Tbin People A New Discovery

Thin men and women—that big, hearty, filling dinner you atei last night. What became of all the fatproducing nourishment it contained? You haven't gained In weight one ounce. That food passed from your body like unburned coal through an open grate. The material was there, but your food doesn't work and stick, and the plain truth is you hardly get enough nourishment from your meals to pay for the cost of cooking. This is true of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive organs, your functions of assimilation are sadly out of gear and need reconstruction.

Cut out the foolish foods and funny sawdust diets. Omit the flesh cream rub-ons. Cut out everything but the meals you are eating now and eat with every one of those a single Sargol tablet. In two weeks note the difference. Five to eight good solid pounds of healthy, "stay there" fat should be the net result. Sargol charges your weak, stagnant blood with millions of fresh new red blood corpuscles—gives the blood the carrying power to deliver every ounce of fat-making material in your food to every part of your body. Sargol, too, mixes with your food and prepares it for the blood in easily assimilated form. Thin people gain all the way from 10 to 25 pounds a month while taking Sargol, and the new flesh stays put Sargol tablets are a scientific combination of six of the best flesh-producing elements known to chemistry. They come 40 tablets to a package, are pleasant, harmless and inexpensive, and all druggists in Terre Haute and vicinity sell them, subject to an absolute guarantee of weight increase or money back.
