Next we had Rudyard Kipling's "rag and a bone and a hank of hair." And now we have the two dramatized in "A Fool There Was." The picture is known to a very few, the poem to many, and the play is having crowded houses. Briefly, it is the story of a man's complete fall under the spell of an enchantress in a Worth gown somewhat tinctured by the Hoffmanesque gruesomeness of the vampire legend which ic as old as the beginning of things. Contemplate Medea and Jason or the Fool and the Lady Fair, and you have very little choice. Jason had the pleasure of seeing his father cut up into mince meat and served on a platter, the Fool becomes a complete wreck and Is eaten by the canker worm of sorrow. Take your choice. And yet despite all this we have a very clever and wholesome play now running in its third or fourth year called the Chorus Lady, which gives the other side. If we remember rightly there is a line still incorporated in that play which exclaims "It's the woman who pays and pays and pays!" Both of these are plays. How does the Human Comedy frame up anyway? THE MEAT BOYCOTT. The "meat boycott," so-called and black faced in the daily papers, is spectacular. Were the figures at hand it would doubtless appear that the effect of the boycott itself does not rep resent a very serious Item in the meat trade. But it would appear that the consumption of meat is on the decrease for the very natural and obvious reason that carniverous food is too expensive. As just a sign of the real movement in contra-distinction to the boycott so widely heralded is the publication in several of the housekeeper's journals of recipes which do not call for eggs. . There are others which point the way for the decoction of dishes which are a sublimated form of hash. The Napoleonic wars taught Europe the bitter necessity of economy. France has1 grown thrifty. Everyone, no matter of what walk in life, has learned the way to accumulate. These United States are just beginning in the midst, of their bounty to realize that it is time to learn how to live within incomes. The 1907 panic (which was so blithely headed off before it spread far) was the effect of over confidence and of too luxurious living. From poor to rich, the most of us live outside our incomes. If the movement of which the meat boycott seems to be a sign will have j the effect of keeping us inside the j boundaries of the pay envelope, salary j and income it may stave off pneu-t monia. colds and dvspepsia as well as tt, 0 ,. . , mut. - ieet. utnerwise we win continue to be the richest beggars and the sturd iest Invalids among nations. nems Gathered in From Far and Near Waste of American Life. From the New York World. The conference at Atlanta for the eradication of the hookworm disease is interesting as an example of the organized methods which are nowadays employed to resist and reduce disease. Within, recent memory the, ravages of the hookworm parasite were so lightly regarded and the nature of the disease so little understood that it was the subject more of questionable humor than of serious investigation. Today all the resources of

THE PRESIDEN

"Oh the east is east, and the west is west. "And never the twain shall meet."

A visit to the two capitals of the United States. New York and Washington, will give a man from the Middle West a distinct shock. Down in the canyon of Wall Street where the ticker beats the dance of the ghosts of the financial world; in the corridors of the Capitol . where the lobbyist's whisper writes the word printed on the pages of our laws the question comes home, "Where are Taffs friends?"

In New York they are only beginning to blindly suspect that the people are not satisfied with the tariff and the Ballinger affair, and still think it of no moment. In Washington there is the same absence of perspective. Where are the President's friends? In New York there is disregard in Washington blindness.

When Mr. Taft began on his program of benevolent assimilation of Congress, we all had hopes that the thing the impossible would bo achieved. Then came the tariff and its- apology at Winona. Then came the Ballinger affair and its whitewash. Now comes the almost open rebellion of the 'regulars' against the policies of the administration. For it is not a secret in Washington that the 'regular' Mondell voiced the other 'regulars in refusing to introduce the conservation bills except by 'request.' That means that he would not himself father them nor will the regulars. And the same is true of all the administration policies be it the interstate commerce bill or the measures of finance and taxation. "Where are the President's friends?"

The insurgents have erred on the side of demanding complete fealty to the principles of the party platform. The people of the West have steadfastly hung to Taft in the belief that he is progressive. They still are more than loyal to the Roosevelt policies which he is given the credit of trying to put into effect. They are the President's friends. They are only more than willing to rise at his bidding and compel congress to support him. There are enough congressmen on the fence (on account of the neutral policy of the administration) to accomplish what the President and the people desire.

Mr. Taft will find his real friends not in New York nor in Washington, not in the director's rooms nor in the speaker's ante-chamber but in the West.

public and philanthropic aid, are brought to bear to combat the disease, which is now recognized as a cause of mental and physical degeneracy. How much has been accomplished by organized effort toward the reduction of disease and how much remains to be done were shown by E. E. Rittenhouse, president of the Provident Savings Lift Assurance society, in his address at the conference. The death rate of tuberculosis has been reduced 40 percent since 1880 and $8,000,000 is now spent annually to fight that disease. Yet 130,000 American people die from it every year. The death rate for typhoid fever as the result of better sanitation has declined 44 percent in the same period. Yet the disease still claims 22,000 victims annually. The diphtheria death rate has been reduced 80 percent. Yet the disease causes 20,000 deaths a year. As against this favorable exhibit of the results of preventive medicine the mortality from the degenerative diseases of the heart, kidneys, arteries and brain has largely increased during the last quarter of a century. The Cost of Packages. From the Manchester Union. In the widespread discussion of the increased cost of living some attention is being paid to the great change which has come about in the manner ' of supplying most of the necessities , in common use. Comparatively few j people nowadays ever buy or even see ! a whole salt codfish, as in the old days. Such comes from the grocery I store, or market, boneless and in packages, which have added materially to the cost. Dried beef and bacon in the same way, instead of being sliced at the market in quantities to suit purchasers. Crackers, biscuits, raisins, oatmeal and so on and on, through all the long list, are bought in packages rather than in bulk by a large proportion of consumers, and at an increase in the cost, because the form is slightly more convenient. In fact. It is obvious, that the cost of the package, showy labels and other accessories, is the result of a decided preference on the part of the consumer, but it makes a material increase in the course of a year in the "living expenses of the average family. For Commission Government. From the Chicago News. Approval has been given by the senate committee on municinalities of the Illinois legislature to the bill providing for the establishment of the commission form of government by any cities which choose to adopt it. The reception accorded this bill should be equally favorable all along its course through the general assembly. The cities of Illinois ought to have the power to adopt the conimission form of government if they choose to do so. They Were Discovered. When they went Into the hotel he was determined to do nothing to betray the fact that they were newly married. He took up the pen for his first registration under the new conditions and with aD old married man iook and sweep of indifference, wrote. "Mr. and Mrs. Mary Tompkins." "Will you have the bridal chamber, Mr. Tompkins?" asked the clericNew York Herald.

"No. I merely took a flyer wnen something was wrong with the steering gear." Troublesome Erudition. "So you think education can become a disadvantage?" "Yes," answered Mr. Bliggins; "I'm always having trouble because I inadvertently use words the stenographer can't spell. Chilly Distance.

"The important part of my wife's letters is always the postscript," said Mr. Meekton. "And how about your letters?" "There isn't any important part." Jimmy's Definition. "What is geography?" asked the father who was testing his son's pro gress in study "Geography," replied little Jimmy Jiggs, "is what you put inside your trousers when you think you are going to get a whipping." The Farmer. He used to wear his pantaloons Inside his muddy boots; He used to sing outlandish tunes And dress in misfit suits; He used to rise at half-past four And milk and hoe and plow; He doesn't do so any more.

LOAO OF BIBOSHOT FOB TOM TAGGART

And the Sight of One of His . Eyes May Be Lost as The Result. WAS A HUNTING ACCIDENT WOUNDED BY HIS PRIVATE SECRETARY WHILE CHASING THE ELUSIVE QUAIL NOT FAR FROM NATCHEZ, MISS. Natchez, Miss., Jan. 22. Thomas Taggart, Democrat National Committeeman from Indiana, was accidentally shot in the face, right shoulder and chest with bird shot by his private secretary, W. H. Norton, while quail hunting in a field near Fayette, 23 miles northeast of this place yesterday afternoon at 3:', o'clock. He was brought to the Natchez sanitarium for treatment. After a careful examination it was stated that his wounds were not dangerous unless complications set in, but he may lose the sight of his right eye. No attempt was made to remove the shot, and this will not be done until the wounded man is taken to his home. Shortly after reaching the sanitari um Mr. Taggart telegraphed his wife that he was all right and had come to Natchez for medical treatment. An effort was made to arrange for Mr. Taggart to go as far as Louisville on a special train, but it was impossible to do so, and he did not leave until this morning at S:30 o'clock. How Accident Occurred. He was accompanied by J. S. Bell, who hart accompanied him on the trip from Indianapolis , and Mr. Norton. Mr. Bell told the story of the acci dent, saying that Mr. Norton had made all arrangements for the bird hunt. having come down to Fayette several days ago. "We left Fayette yesterday after noon at 12:30 o'clock." he said, "and we were about two miles southwest of Fayette when the accident happened. It was :i:,'SO o'clock. Mr. Norton was in the thicket 40 yards from Mr. Tag gart and I was some distance away. When the shot was fired I looked over to see where Mr. Taggart had been standing and saw him rising to his feet, the shot having knocked him down. "We hastened to his side and he said that he had been wounded, but not very badly. "We took him to Fayette, where he received some attention by Dr. McNair, and we brought him to Natchez on the night train. He was able to walk and is as cheerful as any man could be." Dr. R. C. French will accompany Mr. Taggart to Indianapolis. Try Mrs. Austin's Buckwheat flour Makes dandy cakes with the genuin flavor. Ask your grocer. GIRLS ARE HIKERS Several Young Women Have Organized a Pedestrian Club, Now. OFFICERS jARE ELECTED The "Girls' Pedestrian Club" is the name of a new organization which has recently been formed at the local high school. Miss Edith Tallant and Geo. Hamilton, two of the instructors, are the promoters of the idea. Officers of the club have been elected as follows: President, Alsie French; vice president, Elnora Shute; treasurer, Mary Mather; secretary, Emily Fletcher. The puropse of the club, as the name indicates, is to encourage walking among the high school pupils. The membership consists of about fifty girls and each member is expected to walk a certain distance each week, the minimum distance being fixed by the officers. The distance fixed to be walked next week is five miles. Each succeeding week the number of miles will be increased. On good days the walking for the most part will be done in the country, trips being taken to Thistlethwaite's pond, the fairgrounds and other places near the city. The Pedestrian club plan has been tried with great success in several of the cities over the state and the interest that is being displayed In the affair by the girls in this city, points to its equal success here. The Effect of Ammonia. The effects of ammonia upon the complexion are directly the opposite to that of arsenic. The first symptom of ammonia poisoning which appear among those who work in ammonia factories is a dLscolorafiou of the skiu of the nose and the forehead. This gradually extends over the face until the complexion has a stained, blotched and unsightly appearance. With people who take ammonia into their systems in smaller doses, as with their water or food, these striking symptoms do not appear so soon. The only effect of the poison that is visible for a time is a general unwbolesomeness and sallowness of the complexion. London Telecranh. Net Needed. According to the London Saturday Review, a celebrated surgeon met a young officer in Piccadilly one day and greeted him with surprise. "Well. I am pleased to see you: I am surprised! Do you know I have a portion of your brain in a jar at home?" "Ah. well." laughed the other, I can easily spare that. I have got a berth in the war office."

CUT OUI SPOONING Mayor Gives His Orders to Proprietors of the Picture Shows. MAY DRAFT AN ORDINANCE Indianapolis, Ind., January 22. An anti6pooning ordinance, affecting the moving picture show patrons, may be drafted at the request of Mayor Shank unless the proprietors of the places agree to turn on the light, "frequently and unexpectedly." The Mayor has been informed that the moving picture theaters are being used by amorous young men and women for "spooning" purposes while the lights are out. He is going to suggest to the proprietors that they might improve the moral atmosphere by turning on the lights unexpectedly and frightening the giddy young things who slip into the darkened rooms to make love. If the theater proprietors refuse to turn on the lights, the mayor is going to have an anti-spooning law, which the police will be instructed to enforce. The mayor has informed the saloon men that he doesn't care to be harsh, but he suggested that if they fail to live within the law they will find that the people will enact measures that will put them entirely out of business. The Headquarters Committee of the Anti-Saloon league yesterday wrote Mayor Shank a letter thanking him for his law enforcement policy. A PLEASING EVENT The night session of the Garfield school last evening attracted a large number of parents and friends of the nunils. The visitors were very much pleased with the work being done un-' der the auspices of Prof. X. C. Heironij mus, principal. The Garfield orches tra, under the direction of Prof. Will Earhart, rendered a number of selections in a very pleasing manner. The echool council was in session and attracted much interest. The spelling match among the 8A class members was also interesting. Tactful. Mrs. Nosepoke John, don't you think it's about time for us to call on our new neighbors?

BUYING MANY AUTOS

State Records Show Indiana Will Be Well Supplied This Year. MANY MADE IN THE STATE (American Sewi Service) Indianapolis. Ind., Jan. 22. Records at the office of the secretary of state show that Indiana is going to be pretty well equipped for the automobile business during the next session. Basing the estimate on the number of automobile concerns now incorporated In the state and on other available information, it is estimated that the output during the next season in the state will be ;5,00 cars, representing a total value of nearly $."io,mo,iOi. Since Jan. 1, 1909, 72 new automobile concerns for the manufacture and sale of autos or for the insurance of them have been incorporated in Indiana. These represented a capital of more than $",,. and of this number IS Mere incorporated for the purpose of manufacturing machines. There are now according to the records, 4." automobile factories in the state in operation. This puts Indiana right at the front in the automobile business and gives the paragraphers still further opportunity to work off their joke about the man who mortgages his home to buy a f2,.V"0 machine. A Militant Statesman. The first congressman from Missouri was John Scott of Ste. Genevieve. He was the delegate in congress from Missouri territory for four years and then served as congressman for eight years.' He was noted for the eccentricity of wearing winter and summer a cloth cap that almost covered bis eyes, and bis pantaloous were always at least four sizes too large for bim All his life he carried under bis vest on bis left side a beautifully carved dirk and ou the other side a pistol. Kansas City star. A Considerate Sheriff. One of the most unpleasant of the sheriffs numerous responsibilities is that of seeing that criminals sentenced to death are properly executed. And if the hangman should fail bim and no one be willing to act as deputy the sheriff must enforce the capital penalty himself. Not many years ago one of the sheriffs of Middlesex, a well known baronet, on taking office hang ed a prisoner with his own hands on the principle, be said, that be did not care to ask another man to perform a dutv he would shrink from fulfilling himself.
