RAILROADS HOW

FACE A March 4, the Nine Hour Law, Affecting Telegraphers Will Go Into Effect. THE INDIANA , SITUATION. THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF TELEGRAPHERS AND THE BILLS FOR TELEGRAPHERS WILL INCREASE. With the taking effect March 4 of Ihe new law requiring interstate rail roads to place their telegraph oper ators on a nine-hour schedule there will be, according to Richmond tele-; graph and railroad officials, an unus-' ual demand for telegraph operators because the law will necessitate in many offices, especially in those where two men are now employed, a relay of three men in order to carry on the work. This is especially true of block towers, and a careful estimate places the number of these towers in Indiana at 400. It is estimated that fully 600 more operators will be required on the fifty five roads operating In this state under the new law. The railroads fear the sudden effect of the law and sought recently to have the Interstate Commerce commission extend the tim when the law shall ; become effective in order to give them ; time to train operators or procure experienced ones. The Interstate Commerce however, held that congress only has this power. Word from Wash-; ington Is to the effect that up to the , present time no proposeu legislation ; In this respect has made its appearance in behalf of the railroads, although a form of bill has been proposed. To Increase Pay Roll $27,000,000. According to the statements made at the hearing on the question before the Interstate Commerce commission, the railroads of the country are facing

In Indiana there will be an increase of one man in every ten on the larger roads and fifteen on the smaller roads. There are in excess of 6,000 railroad

Vandalia and the Pennsylvania roads arranged their shifts at their Indianapolis terminals so as to' provide for three men The salary question in this state will not be determined until the new law becomes effective and (he extent of the demand becomes known. A number of the roads took on commercial telegraph operators during the strike last year, and have been carrying them in preparation for the new law. MILTON, IND. Wilton, Ind..

TEXT BOOKS MADE HIT WITH STUDENTS

Parents Were Amazed When Contents Were Learned. Bucyrus, O., Feb. 17. The people of District No. 3, Holmes township, are making it uncomfortable for Peart Lanker, a young man who has been teaching the school during the winter term. Lanker, it is said has been agent for two companion books, purporting to tell what a young boy ought to know, and what a young girl ought to know. He conceived the idea that they would make excellent text books. As a consequence he introduced them into the schools, and the boys and girl3 dug into them with a will. Being a class of literature not generally talked over around the family fireside, the pa rents were ignorant of what was going on tu the books had beeQ rcviewecL Qne pupil took one of the books home, and when his parents found it and had obtained an explanation there was a heap of trouble in District No. ;i. L.anker has been summoned to appear before the county board, and will be given a hearing behind closed doors. Lanker insists that the literature la good school reading. His character is good, but some of the board members question his judgment. A FORT WAYNE HUNG. WOMAN Marvelous Results of a Woman's Plea. An od ladv called on the Root Juice gclentl8t over at Lafayette, Ind., and said: ..j actuany hung to the neck of my ju,sband and pleaded with him to try Root Julce. go much was being 8aid abf)Ut the many reniarkable cures the remedv has maie that I felt it might do hlm some good He had suffered for years with his stomach and kidneys and severe headaches. Every change of the weather his back pained him very much, and of late years the lightest food would ferment in his Btomach and bowels and the fermentation of gas would cause him to bloat so that he couldn't button his vest. He tried so many medicines that lost heart, but I finally persuaded I him to take Root Juice. He has used reported remarkable cures resulting from a short use of the great healthpromoting discovery. It gives a good appetite, creates good digestion and seems to heal and tone every organ of the body. Root Juice is $1 a bottle, or three bottles for $2.50, at A. G. Luken's drug store. "Uze-It" Pain Oil, 25 cents. The "Oil is a wonder for nev troubles Bndly hni..cpped. A Boston minister says that not long age he was walking along a street in the- suburbs when he came up to a littie fellow, apparently about six years old, who had one thumb in his mouth and who was jumping up and down in dumb rage. lie had evidently been nailing on some loose fence pickets, for a hammer and a handful of loose nails lay on the ground. "What's the matter, my little man? Did you hurt yourself V" the minister asked. "Kids like me ain't got no show 'tall," was the apparently Irrelevant reply at the fence. "How do you mean?" the minister asked kiudly. "Oh," was the disgusted reply, 'Tin too big to cry like sis when she gets hurt, and I ain't big 'nough to swear like pa when he smashes his thumb!" After all, if a fellow Is to write poetry, the secret is, get in touch with humanity; know what the people are thinking about; retire to the very deepest sources of life back, back, till there is no' farther point to retire to. Horace Traubel's Record of "Whitman In Old Age" In Century. Are You Sick? Much sickness is due to a weak nervous system. Yours may be. If it is, you cannot; get well until you restore nerve strength Your nervous system is nature's power house; the organs of your body get their power from it. If the power is not there, the action of the organs is weak, and disease (sickness) follows. Dr. Miles' Nervine cures the sick because it soothes the irritated and tired nerves and gives the system a chance to recuperate. Try it, and see if you do not quickly feel its beneficial effect.

WHEAT IS EXCELLENT

Reports from Various Points In the State Indicate This. SOME FEAR MANIFESTED. Reports from all the principal wheat growing districts in Indiana show that the wheat crop, on an average, is in excellent condition and that a lair yield will be harvested if present conditions keep up. From some sections the reports say growers are afraid the crop has been damaged to some extent by the freezing and thawing and the lack of snow covering; however, thio is generally qualified by the statement that if no more inclement weather prevails the crop will yet come out in fair condition. Some wheat was sown late in the fall owing to dry weather which prevailed at the time. In s-uch cases the growing grain is not in as healthy condition as it might be. The majority of farmers unite in saying that more snow would be of great benefit to the growing crop. In the low-lying districts there is some danger that the coating of ice on the fields will have a tendency to smother out the growth, but inasmuch as these districts are few damage from this condition will be comparatively small. From all reports ' received there is small danger at this time of damage by the fly or green bug. Although it is rather early to observe closely on this phase of the crop, experts believe that it will be little damaged from this source. EQUIVOCATION. Tlie Amenltlea of Life and the Geo. tie Art of Lying;. Very few of us, indeed, are exempt from the charge of direct lying. .Not to mention the strategic lies told to enemies in time of war, to criminals, to sick persons and lunatics, as to which pages upon pages of casuistry appear in the older works on moral science, there are what may be termed the lies lubricant, wrung from us by etiquette and good breeding. If the amenities of life were not preserved through the gentle art of lying society could scarcely continue as a happy family; we should all have to live in separate cages. The best of us will tell direct lies on trivialities where politeness is imperative. Wherever practicable, howrever, the spirit of advocacy prevails. We say whatever we can truthfully, and tactfully pause while the hearer's self love aud imagination fill out a generally agreeable impression. Family relationships, even more markedly than business or social relations, exemplify the universal attitude of advocacy. Mr. Roundabout says: "Go to Brown's house and tell Mrs. Brown and the young ladies what you think of him aud see what a welcome you will get. In like manner, let him come to your house and tell your good lady his candid opinion of you and see how she will receive him." No one save an unspeakable cad would speak slightingly of a husband to his wife; no one save an unspeakable cad would tolerate slighting language in his presence concerning his wife. Such is the conventional law as to spouses, parents, children, blood relations in general, even intimate friends. Wilbur Larremore In Atlantic. JACKSON NOT POOR. The Great Statesman Had Very ManyEarly Advantages. Verily we must abandon th belief that Andrew Jackson belonged to the class of American youths who rode to fame and fortune by their own efforts, unaided by the help of family and friends. Never did he taste the bitter cup of physical want, of hunger and cold, of helpless, spirit breaking poverty. Never was he without home and loyal friends and a sufficiency of the comforts of life. Never was It bis lot to suffer that humiliation, that mortification, that inward bleeding wound which the proud nature writhes under when there is no money in the pocket, no change of clothing for the body, no welcome light in any window in al) the world as the harassed day draws to its end and the wretched night comes on. Toverty! Why, Andrew Jackson never in his whole life had a genuine taste of what the cruel word reallymeans. Few men have been more greatly in debted to the intelligent affection of a self sacrificing mother. Few sons of poor parents have had such advantages as were his lot, and few lads of poor parents did such a scanty amount of manual labor. Compared to the rugged, self taught youth of Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson. Sam Houston, Francis Marion and Nathanaei Greene, the boyhood of Andrew Jackson almost assumes the appearance of having been cast upon "flowery beds of ease." Watson's Magazine. Rapid Growing Fungal. In "Recollections of a Happy Life" Miss North describes many of her young enthusiasms and among others that of collecting and painting English fungi. On one outing, she says, I came upon a fungus about the size of a large turkey's egg. Eager to see it develop, I took it up carefully and carried it home. I put it under a tumbler on the window sill of my bedroom at night. At daylight I was awakened by a horrible crash of splintering glass. Behold the tumbler had fallen to the floor and broken to bits. The fungus was standing five inches tall, having hatched itself free from its restraining egglike shell and in growing had raised the tumbler and tilted it sidewjse until it fell over aud to the floor. The fuugus had a horrible smell, and soon a swarm of flies were hoverImg over It.

FAMOUS FIRE CHIEF LAID TO LAST REST

With Bared Heads, People Greeted Cortege. New York, Feb. 17. With all the honor of a hero, who had given his life m the performance of duty, the body of Deputy Fire Chief Charles W. Kruger, who lost his life by drowning in a flooded cellar while leading his men at a fire on Canal street, was buried yesterday. The funeral services were held in St. Thomas church on Fifth avenue, and was conducted by Bishop Potter. A dense crowd filled the avenue during the service and all along the line thousands stood with bared heads as the funeral procession escorted by 1,om volunteer and regular firemen passed. EVANS THANKS MEN Valparaiso Officials Receive Two Messages from American Admiral. CONTENTS ARE PUBLISHED. Valparaiso, Feb. 17. Two wireless dispathes have been received here from the American battleship fleet un-' der Rear Admiral Evans, which was reviewed off Valparaiso after which it J continued on its way to Callao. One is addressed to Rear Admiral Simpson, of the Chilean navy, und says: "The commander of the Atlantic fleet begs you to convey to President Montt, in the name of himself, his officers and men, theappreclation of the honor he has done them by reviewing the fleet at Valparaiso. To this I add expressions of my personal regard and I hope I will have the, pleasure of meeting you again. I send you my good wishes. EVANS." The other message is addressed to John Hicks the American minister, and says: "I beg you to express to President I.iontt the thanks of the officers and men of my fleet for the many grateful acts of courtesy received at the hands of the Chilean government. I am sure the American people fully appreciate them and that they will go far toward cementing the friendship between the two nations. EVANS." TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets. Druggists refund money if it fails to cure. E. W. GROVE'S signature is on each box. 25c. Shorthand. Shorthand is one of the arts that have never been lost. It is believed that It was practiced la Phoenicia before the Greeks existed as a people and possibly also at Babylon. One finds no trace of it in China or Japan, primarily because the first named country has always and the second until recently opposed all manner of labor and time saving devices.

GUILD ACCEPTABLE

Is Said to Have a Good Chance as Running Mate For Taft This Year. TOURED WITH SECRETARY. Toledo, O., Feb. 17. If Governor Guild, of Massachusetts, can deliver the Massachusetts delegation to Secretary Taft, he can be the next vice president of the United States, providing of course, Taft and the republicans keep their iower. Ever since Secretary Taft struck Michigan on his last tour, he has been accompanied by the Massachusetts governor, and various rumors have been rife. The first definite statement, however, was made by a member of the Secretary's staff in this city Saturday, while he was enroiue to headquarters in Columbus. That statement, in a few words, was that Taft was much impressed with Guild, and in return for the Massachusetts delegates he would gladly support him for his running mate against the field, including Knox, Fairbanks and Hughes, either of whom this man thinks, will try to get second place when defeated at the convention. YEAST IS A PLANT. But It Can Be Seen as Such Only ,With the Microscope. Yeast is a small plant which can be Been only with the aid of the microscope, says Good Health. There are two varieties, wild and cultivated, for these tiny plants can be Improved through cultivation, as larger plants can be. Firms which make yeast for the market must grow these plants quite as carefully as the florist grows his flowers. Care must be taken that they do not become mixed with other varieties, therefore destroying the culture. In some laboratories where yeast i9 grown two separate buildings are kept for this purpose. These are both carefully disinfected, and if it is found that the yeast becomes contaminated in one building the culture is started anew and the other building previously disinfected before moving into It. This plant, like bacteria, requires warmth, moisture aud food. The materials out of which the bread is mad Should always be warmed, and the dough should always be kept in a warm place. The temperature most favorable is about that of the body, a little less than 100 degrees. There is always considerable moisture in bread and 'enty of food for the plant The food which it requires is sugar. This it obtains from the wheat, there being some sugar in the flour, and more sugar is also formed from the starch. As the yeast plants feed upon sugar they break it down into two substances, alcohol and a gas known as carbon dioxide or carbonic acid gas. As the gas is formed it is held by the gluten, which is a very elastic substance. When the bread is put into the oven the heat expands the tiny bubbles of gas, causing the bread to rise or to become much lighter. The alcohol formed, being a volatile product passes off into the baking. tart tli
