THE PLYjlOimnRIBUNE PLYMOUTH, IND. HENDRICKS Q CO.. . - Publishers. PCR C!.E POODS. Addressing the American Health association la convention at Milwau kee. Prof. James O. Jordan of Boston, chairman, pointed cut the need of pro tecting foods from contamination not only by dirt, dust, insect life, dogs and cats, but also from handling by human being, says the Buffalo Express. He must have had in mind careless masses to whom the rules of cleanli aess are praeticaliy unknown. The el fort of the day, among civilized people is generally fcr clean food. Restau rants are sometimes accused of being less particular than they should be, but local health officials can keep them op to the etindard cr have them discontinued. If su:h power Is not ao cessible by any health officer, leglsla Hon should provide for such an arrangement. Professor Jordan spok also for xni.k. saying: "Less monej spent on rtllllnery and beer and mort devoted U procuring clean milk wU: yield hea!":h dividends more than com mensurat'3 with tlrs capital thus In Tested." It 13 hardly necessary foi

the inflv.!ual to forego much beer 01 The tasT- Is the community's. Only one clas? of milk should be tolerated and that clean, reasonably rich, and delivered in cleanly vessels and vehicles, 'i A part of the theory touching the nature of matter 13 that the ions, "which are the constituents of atoms, are cot only In constant motion, but that thl3 energy is working toward a lower quality of matter; that is, thai gold 13 developing toward copper of toward some other kind of metal of less value. So of silver and the dlaxcond. These precious metals never transmute upward, but always downwand. The changes ma; not be ob served In centuries, but In millions o! years they will manifest themselves. This disintegration of the atom and Its transmutation into the base metals suggest two Inferences either the adranee cf civilization in the eradication of gold and oth?r precious metals, or that the stalled baser metate arc of greater value and use In the social economy. Of course, long before the eradicaticn of gold through this process, mankind will disappear from the planet, yet the losson Is left by this scientific discovery that In the great plan of nature, copper and Iron are mora to be esteemed than gold or Over. The Jay of a doze Is no more that delicious moment as the day breaks, whf n the sleeper wakes and rolls over !n a half drea'n and yields himself to a drowsy spel'i that gives to joy a sort of real exi3tence--well, It Is no more. These days of advance have blotted it out. Invention and rapid life are too many for IL When a person wakes, he wakes. No lotns-eatlng for him. No Coating away on a silvery mist out into the land of forgetfulness. Listen to that motor cycle running from away down the street, sputtering, cracking and crashing as ft comes, rushing past your window as the very devil hlmaelf would; and then, that snorting, ripping and slashing clamor sweeping by In the fcrm of an automobile goodby, old Somnus and Momus, and all ye divinities of night and sleep, farewell, says the Ohio State Journal. Some day we may meet again, but in some othir world or some other time when the ion, lingering doze at Qnwn may be looked upon as one of it e sacred rlghU of mankind. Before th year's outing season la jovef nearly half a million persons jwfll have sought recreation and health in the national forests. The use of Ithe forests for recreation Is as yet jin its beginning, but Is growing steadlily and rapidly in some of the forests !&t the rati of 100 per cent, per annum .The day seems not far distant when jl.COO.000 persons will annually visit them. Tie records show that the s-?a sonal use of the forests runs from two months li a Colorado forest, such as the Routt, to 12 months in an Alaskan, auch as the Tcngass. But the uses Uffer. Ia Colorado the 2,000 visitors entered the forest to flab, to camp, to climb and to drink the medicinal waters; In Alaska, the 1.000 almost solely to hunt and fish. The 21,000 pen eons who went into the Conconino for est, Arizona, during nine months went to camp or to enjoy the scenery. The most popular of the forests is tho Pike, containing tho famous peak ' of that name. I The facial census-statistics give (Chicago a population of 2,185,293, a gain of 486.708 In ten years. This Is dolng very well, as the returns show Chicago to be the second city in the fUaited States In number of Inhabitants, ranking next to New York both Ja population and in rate of Increase Tet Chicago Is not satisfied. The lj' jtropolls thought It should Imve east 3,000,000. Apparently the or pray to get such a total Is to annex pome more of the outlying territory. tThe new torpedo-boat destroyer aulding baa made a record for oil(bnrning warships by running at the jrat of 23.94 knots an hour. This feat lwas accomplished during a standardization trial-trip off the Maine coast, and seems to furnish strong testl jnony to the effectiveness of oil as tfuel. . "Do something for the girls" Is a moving plea. The best possible thing to do is to marry them. Philadelphia's rate per cent of growth in the last ten years was smaller than It was In the preceding decade. Philadelphia seems bound to put a solid foundation under those slowtown Jokes which have done so much to ease the labors of New York pa rngrapher. Another bis gold-strike is reported In Alaska. That marvelous territory teems to have no end of iurprUes vp its sleeve.

HOLDS I FOR

. G. LIABLE Supreme Court Order May Double Illinois' Annual Income. DIRECT TRIAL ON MERITS Decision of High Tribunal Overrules Contrntion in Demurrer That. Settlements Estop Suit to F.ecover Unpaid Levies. Springfield, III. The Illinois Central Railroad company received a setback when the supreme court decided that the $15,000.000 back tax suit brought by the state must go to trial. The suit was filed by the attorney general early in 1907, following a message of Governor Deneen to the legislature, in which it was asserted that the railroad had so manipulated its account as to credit millions of Its earnings to lines not chartered in Illinois and hence not subject to tho 7 per cent. tax. An appropriation was made by the legislature to defray the expenses of an accounting. This accounting swelled the amount which the governor had estimated to be due the state from $3OOO,00O to $15,000,000. The state won every important contention with the exception that the opinion holds the accounts prior to 1503 have been accepted by the state and payment made thereon, and that therefore they are not subject to further inquiry. The court considers the case under three Important headings. The first is whether the amount to be levied by the state auditor is a tax or whether it la based on a contract under its charter. The court holds it Is a contract. ' On the question of Interstate com merce business, the court holds all interstate commerce business passing over the charter lines,' whether originating in Illinois or in other states and coming into Illinois,' is subject to the 7 per cent tax on gross receipts. Thea on the question of scope of the inquiry it is held it cannot extend back prior to 1905. , Under the head of accounting, the state wins In its contention that it should be on the basis of mileage. Tho same fchl jg ia truo In regard to express earnings On the subject of charter line' property for the use of the noncharter lines, the court holds the state is entitled to a money consideration for th!a service. The state win3 in Its contention that it should receive the contract rate of 7 per cent of the receipts from eating-houses and din'ng cars. On the question of newspaper advertising the railroad company loses, the' ceurt holding that where it Issues mlleag3 for such advertising it should be included in the accounting with the state. About the only point on which the company wins, aside from excluding all accounts prior to 1905, is that it is cot required to account for interest on deposits. The court remands the case to tho Circuit court of La Salle county, with instructions to proceed In accordance with the views injts opinion. Unless the railroad accepts the court's decision as final; tho Circuit court of La Salle county will no doubt appoint a master .to go Into all the details of the accounting since 1905, and the case may be prolonged indefinitely. At present the railroad Is paying approximately $1,000,000 to the state every year. NEGRO TO OUTRANK ARMY MEN. Social Phase cf W. H. Lewis Appointment Stirs Capital. ' Washington. In spite of the storm stirred over the prospective appointment of W. H Lewis, a negro, who is now assistant to the district attorney at Boston, as assistant attorney general of the United States, the appointment will be made. One of the most striking notes sounded by ithe opposition has to do with the so cial phase of such an appointment. The rank of cu assistant attorney general would give him precedence socially over brigadier senerals, captains in the navy, district commissioners and a number of other high oScials.
