From the example of distinguished men, the recipe for continual youth seems to be hard work and plenty Of it. The reason a woman wants money Is because having it enables her to get rid of it in exchange for other things. Scientists have discovered that pig skin is a good substitute for human skin. Queer that they overlooked that so long. The farmer who used to be a terror in a horse trade is at the mercy of the automoDile salesman, just like the rest of us.

A man may be able to make money with a common-school education, but his son must have a college education to know how to spend it.

SPEAKER CLARK AND VICE-PRESIDENT MARSHALL CALL THE HOUSES TO ORDER. MANY MEMBERS ARE ABSENT Ambitious Program Is Laid Out for the Nation's Lawmakers, and They May Be Busy Most of Next Year Women Fill Galleries. Washington, Dec. 3. At the stroke of noon gavels sounded in senate and house signalizing Uie opening of the second, or first regular, session of the Sixty-third congress. The familiar figure of Speaker. Champ Clark was seen in the house chamber. In the senate Vice-President Marshall called the senators to order. This was the first regular ses sion of congress in many years which was ushered in under entirely Democratic auspices with Democrats in control of the house and senate and a Democratic executive in the White House. As Is usual on such occasions, the galleries were filled, there being a brilliant display of millinery and win ter fashions by women spectators. The diplomatic galleries in both houses were well filled, diplomats of South America and Central America predominating in the attendance. In the house the blind chaplain of that body, Rev. Henry N. Oouden, delivered the invocation, after which a few new members were escorted to the speaker's desk to take the oath of- office. This ceremony over the house proceeded to uninteresting routine business. Routine business and preliminary skirmishing over the currency bill occupied the attention of the senate. Subjects They Will Take Up. Many members, who were detained here during the summer and autumn months, have not returned yet, some declaring they would remain away until after January 1, so as to be . at home for the holiday season, ihey think little, important business will be transacted until after the beginning of the new year. Although the program had not been definitely formulated, members look forward to tackling one of the most ambitious legislative tasks that congress In a long time has attempted. Here are some of the subjects of legislation that the new congress will take up: Final action on the currency bill. Anti-trust legislation. Rural credits. Naval program. Passage, of a dozen appropriation bills. Train safety and safety on the ocean. Regulation of the shipping trust. Final action on the reports of lobby investigating committees. The cost of living problem. Legislation to protect women workers. River and harbor budget. Legislation looking to the building of a government railroad in Alaska. May Have to Consider Mexico. Another important matter which It is believed will engage the attention of congress is discussion of the Mexican problem. However, this depends on the action of President Wilson. There will be no action reialive the president gives it his approval, to Mexico, most members think, unless Congress will be on the job until about December 19, when an adjourn ment will be taken over the Christmas holidays until January 5. Appropria tion bills will be under consideration within ä week or two, it being the ex pectation that the District appropriation bill will be the first one consid ered. Many members predicted that congress would be in ses3ion during the coming summer and perhaps un til the autumn. SUN CULT CHIEF GUILTY Federal Jury Convicts Hanish at Chi cago for Obscene Books Faces Long Prison Term. Chicago, Nov. 29.-M3toman Zar Adusht Hanish, the "little master" of the Mazdaznan sun cult, wes found uilty by a jury in Federal Jtidgo Mack's court, following his sensätionaJ trial on a charge of violating the inter state commerce law through the ship ment of his book, "Inner Studies," via express. Counsel for Hanish made the usual motion for a new trial. The date for a hearing on this motion will be fixed bv Judge Mack upon his return to Chi cago. Fixing of the penalty rests with the court. The conviction carries with it as a maximum penalty a fine of $5,000 or five years in the penitentiary, or both. The Mazdaznan sun cult, of which Hanish is the. founder, long has been before the public eye. It is regarded by the government as one of the most powerful of cults, its membership embracing 14,000 men and women in the United States, many of whom are of wealth and influence. The teachings and methods of Han ish. who impresses upon his followers the might of the sun both as a religi ous and healthful deity, first attracted the attention of the federal authorities in 1909. Complaints had been numerous and the postal authorities turned their searchlight upon Honlsh. Tainted Meat Poisons 105. Madrid, Dec. 1.

MARCHESE DI CELLERE Marchese Vlncenzo di Cellere is the new Italian ambassador to the United States, appointed to succeed Marchese Cusani-Confalonlerl. U. S. SUES AMERICAN CAN COMPANY AS A TRUST Brief Filed Before Federal Court in Baltimore Asks Dissolution of Company. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 1. The department of justice through John P. Hill; United States attorney for the dis trict of Maryland, filed suit against the American Can company and the subsidiary concerns under the Sher man anti-trust law. The complaint al leges that the defendants restrain in terstate and foreign trade in tin cans, and are attempting to monopolize the same. In the latter part of 1901, the peti tion alleges, a conspiracy was formed among J. Hobart Moore, William Hen ry Moore, Daniel G. Reid, Fred S. Wheeler. Henry W. Phelps, William T. Graham, George G. McMurty and D. Wiley McCaughey, for the purpose of restraining trade in the United States by creating a single corporation with large capitalization and buying or leasing the greater portion of the can and can-making machinery in the United States. The American Can company was incorporated with a capi tal stock of $38,000,000 to carry out this plan and shortly thereafter the competing plants were acquired. The control of these factories and manufacturing plants was maintained through contracts by which former owners or venders were prevented from engaging in business for the next fifteen years. It is also alleged that the American Can company obtained possession of patentson machinery for long-term periods. The brief asks for the dissolution of the combine into separate and independent units, as many as may be found necessary to establish competitive conditions and that a receiver be appointed to take possession of its property and work out such a dissolution. Until such dissolution the court is asked to enjoin the defendants from voting or receiving dividends from the stocks of any corporations acquired by the trusts.

"If any persons undertako any devilment, they will meet with the warmest reception ever given any gathering in Indianapolis," was the statement issued by Captain of Police Crane, and the police force was kept busy in answering emergency calls to disperse small-sized riots. "We have plenty volunteers, who offer to serve without pay, and can raise a police force of 10,000 members. They are well organized and we practically have a secret array in the field throughout the city." At no time during the day did the situation get beyond the control of the police and the Tomlinson Hall con:ingent of "business men deputies were not called from their "armory." Indianapolis, Nov. 29. Samuel Lewis Shank has resigned as mayor of Indianapolis.

WINS SERVICE ELEVENS ENGAGE IN DESPERATE BATTLE RESULTING IN SCORE OF 22-9. FORWARD PASSES IS FACTOR West Pointers by Open Field Play at Critical Points Accumulate Win ning Total President Wilson Sees Game In New York. New York, Dec. 1.- With the presi dent of the United States and members of his cabinet, together with 42,000 patriotic Americans, surrounding the gridiron in the Brush stadium, the West Point football eleven furnished a stunning surprise by conquering the midshipmen from Annapolis by n. score of 22 to 9. Spectators Get Thrill. From the standpoint of the specta tor, the game and its setting lost noth ing of its thrilling grip and interest as a result, and the 42,000 persons pres ent gasped and cheered by turns at the kaleidoscopic playing scenes depicted. The uses of the forward pass repeat edly by the cadets opened up the play to a far greater extent than the more conservative line attack and runs of the middies, thus-furnishing the spec tators with many brilliant football pic tures and the army a vehicle of vie tory. It was in the execution of this play that the army advantage lay ana the final score demonstrates how suc cessfully it was worked. In the opening quarter the two elevens played the usual eastern ame, with the attack directed pnncinallv at the line and outside tackle. At this period the advantage lay entirely with the middies, who used their weight and speed for consistent gains. Near their own goal line the army held firmly and Brown, the middies rieht suard. was called back to the cadets' 20-yard line, whence he kicked a nlacement goal. In the second peri od he duplicated the feat, after Hodg son dropped one of Nicholls punts and Gilchrist recovered. Army Scores Touchdown. The army got into action in this quarter also, and sent the score seesawing with a field goal and touch down. Earlv in the period the soldiers gained the ball on the navy's ten-yard line as a result of a blocked punt from Nicholls' toe. The West Point backs could make no impression on the navy line, and Woodruff, who replaced Jouett for the occasion, kicked an easy goal from placement on the navy's 25yard line. Just before the quarter ended Prichard caught one of Nich olls' high punts at midfield and raced 15 yards toward the middies' goal be fore he was downed. Three times in succession, then, Prichard hurled a forward pass. The Jirst two were uncompleted, but the third shot squarely into the hands of Merrillat, the army right end, who had run across tli middies goal line, thus West Point registered the first touch down of the game, leaving the score at the end of the first half 9 to 6 in favor of the soldiers, for McEwan failed to kick the goal from touchdown. The navy added another goal from nlacement in the third period when Nicholls, by clever running back of Jouett's punt, placed the ball on the army's 25-yard line. Checked by the soldiers' defense, Brown scored his third and last goal from placement, kicking from the 30-yard mark. Merrillat Proves Star. With the points nine all the cadets I onened another brilliant attack. Mer rillat, with little or no interference, ran from the army's 45-yard line to the middies' one-yard mark before he was tackled from the rear by Gilchrist. Two line blunges, with Captain Höge carrying the ball, scored the second touchdown, and McEwan kicked the resultant gor.1, making the score, army 16: navy, 9. Immediately following the opening of the final period Captain Höge caught one of Nicholls' low punts on the army's 45-yard line and ran un aided to the middies' 20-yard mark be fore Brown pulled him down. On the next line-up Höge tore throueh the fast-weakening sailors line for eight yards. Again Prichard elected to try a forward pass and again it was Merrillat who caught the flying spheroid behind the navy goal line for the third touchdown of the game. The ball was downed to the extreme right of the goal posts and the punt out was a failure, leaving the final score: Army, 22; navy, 9.

CRAIG IS CALLED VAMPIRE BY LAWYER AT INDIANAPOLIS Alleged Slayer of Dr. Helene Knabe Is Charged With Ruining Women Jury Is Chosen. Shelbyville, Ind., Dec. 2. Dr. Will iam B. Craig sat in the little court, room here, where he is on trial for his life, before a jury consisting almost entirely of farmers, and heard himself denounced as the slayer of Dr. Helene Knabe by Ephraim Inman, attorney representing the Indianapolis Council of Women. The jury was completed at the forenoon session and after recess Mr. Inman began outlining the state's case. "As one of the misfortunes of the case the state will be able to bring no eyewitnesses to this crime," said Mr. Inman. "We expect, however, to bringbefore you a train of circumstances all pointing not only in the direction of the- murder, but in the direction of Dr. William Craig as the guilty man. On the night of the murder, Doctor Craig was seen near the premises within a little while before the murder necessarily occurred," he declared. Doctor Craig has indulged in a sys tem of making engagements with wom en and breaking them," said Mr. Jnman. "He wronged a high school girl and refused to marry her. He did the same thing with another girl and af terward compromised with her." CHILD LABOR LAW HELD VALID Supreme Court Decides Indiana Had Right to Prevent Submitting New Constitution to Voters.

Must Have Had Two. A New Jersey man recently reached the conclusion that his eight-year-old boy is a trifle too bright. At dinner one evening the father had been entertaining a number of friends from Philadelphia with a funny story. This was at dessert. The youngster had been very quiet throughout the previous courses; but here he arose to the occasion in fine style. When the laughter induced by his father's humor had ceased, the boy, with a fine affection of delight, said:. "Now, dad, do tell the other oneI'ft Found It. "What became of that friend of yours who ivas always looking for a soft thing?" "He's in a padded cell, poor chap' Be a busy bee. It's always better to sting than to get stung. WIFE WON Husband Finally Convinced. Some people are wise enough to try new food's and beverages and then generous enough to give others the benefit of" their experience. A wife writes: "No slave in chains, it seemed to me, was more helpless than I, a coffee captive. Yet there were innumerable warnings waking from a troubled sleep with a feeling of suffocation, at times dizzy and out of breath, attacks of palpitation of the heart that frightened me. (Tea is justas injurious as coffee because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "At last my nervous system was io disarranged that my physician ordered 'no more coffee I capitulated. "Determined to give Postum a fair trial, I prepared it according to directions on the pkg., obtaining a dark brown liquid with a rich snappy flavour similar to coffee. When cream and sugar were added, it was not only good but delicious. "Noting its beneficial effects in me the rest of the family adopted it all except my husband, who would not ad mit that coffee hurt him. Several weeks elapsed during which I drank Postum two or three times a day, when, to my surprise, my husband said: 'I have decided to drink Postum. Your improvement is so apparent you have such fine color that I pronose to give credit where credit is due And now we are coffee-slaves no longer." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
