Tipping and Treating. There are two practices in this country that are being Justly condemned. One Is tipping and the other treating To be sure, we are not responsible for originating either. Away back In the days of Queen Elizabeth every coffee boose had a bos bearing the Inscrip Hon. "To Insure Promptness:" hence T. I. P. Neither Is treating an Innovn Hon. Some of tbe Caesars, so says his tory, used to get huffy when their guests could not see the bottom of the glass often enough. But both hare got each 'a bold on Americans that they have come to be recognized as natloual habits, and the latter sometimes as n national evil. Indlttnapolta News.

GRIP IS DREADED

Beeauae It

Lowers Vitality What

to Do It la not the disease itself, but the dangerous complications that follow it, that people fear with such good reason; the lingering coughs, the terrible weakness, and the liability of being attacked by pleurisy, pneumonia or some other serious 111. We say it is highly important to free the system of every trace of grip and nothing Is- so good for this as Vinol, oar delicious cod liver and Iron preparation which creates strength and builds up the body. Mrs. C. L. Edwards, Long Branch. N. J aays: "Last February I had a very bad attack of grip and it left me with a terrible cough. For fully six weeks 1 coughed a great deal, and nothing had any effect on It. until I tried Vinol which noon gave me relief and has since brought about a complete cure." Can anything be more convincing that Vinol is Just what you need to build you up and make you strong? We guarantee It most positively. Leo H. Fihe, Druggist. Richmond, Indiana.

Corn And Politics.

J. A. Stainbrook of Johnson county is the new Corn King of Indiana. 8talnbrook's ten ears that won the championship of Indiana at the Corn Growers' association did not happen altogether by accident. There is nothing particularly about the soil and climate of Johnson county that made Stainbrook a winner. It is good corn country but all of Indiana is good corn country. Stainbrook believes in the germination test and in the seed plot he believes in pedigreed corn. In other words he applies the same principals to corn that other people have applied for many years to horses. He selects the parents of his corn for fitness. He tests the ears of corn before they are planted as a horse-trainer traina his yearlings before they are to go into the race. In doing this Stainbrook Is proving out to tbe satisfaction of everyone what the people up at Purdue have been telling the farmers of Indiana for years. . . . Professor Christie of Purdue is an associate of the other great corn man who is doubling the yield of corn in Iowa Professor Holden and Coburn of Kansas is taking the work of improving Kansas crops.

One would suppose that w hen men like Stainbrook come in and walk off with the prizes when he has whole acres of corn that are twice as good as the corn fields that belong to some of bis neighbors that men would begin to open their eyes. They are beginning to but it has not affected the crops of the state appreciably. The average corn yield in Indiana still hovers around forty bushels to the acre. The Purdue people say it should be more. The best corn growers in tbe state the men who raise more corn and better corn at a less cost all these men say that the corn yield of Indiana can be increased but it is very slow work. Formerly It was believed that the word "standpatter" applied only to the man In politics that it had something to do with the Republican party. Then men began to see that there were quite as many Democratic standpatters as there are Republican standpatters. But it is not so. The standpatter is not synonymous with the crook. A thief is a thief whether you say that he steals or whether he grafts standpatters merely allow others to steal and waste unpunished. A standpatter Is a standpatter mainly from ignorance of conditions and the benefits which would otherwise come to him or to all others if tbe conditions were changed. But he is used to the "good old way." We hear much about the good old ways and the good old days but the city that clings to the good old fashioned mud streets and the good old-fashioned horse car and the good old fashioned lack of plumbing and heating the good old fashioned typhoid well that is a place that we all strenuously avoid.

Men are either progressive or they are standpatters. Men are either efficient or tbey are inefficient. Men are either bent on accomplishment or they bewail the changing of the times. Is it necessary to draw the parallel? Any man or woman that is trying to do things in a better way is a progressive. Edison is a progressive. Dr. Wiley is a progressive. Louis Brandeis the attorney, is a progressive. Dr. Flexner of the Rockefeller institute is a progressive. Harrington Emerson the" "efficiency engineer" is a progressive. Robert La Follette, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson all these are progressives. Why? Simply because they are warring against waste. They are preaching the gospel that things can be done at less expense to the human race in a better and quicker fashion. Are these men Republicans or Democrats? Well, what difference does it make? Who carea whether Edison is a Republican or a Democrat what we are interested in is the fact that his electric lamp is an efficient light and that it has been Improved so that there is little waste. Who cares whether Dr. Flexner (who is reducing the mortality of children and their fathers and mothers by his scientific research into the best and quickest methods with which to combat disease) is a Democrat or a Republican?

Yet when the question comes up as to the best method to regulate railroad rates, the best way in which to solve the problem of waste of national resources the thousand thousand problems of the most difficult economic questions that the world has yet confronted whom are we to choose why a Democrat or a Republican certainly. But there we meet with a curious situation. It happens that those in control of the machinery of the Democratic and Republican parties are not particularly interested in the scientific solution of the great questions which confront a young republic burdened with a giant industrial and capitalistic growth and those in control of the machinery have taken it upon themselves to "read out of the party" the La Follettea and Wilsons who are intent on working things out in a scientific way instead of in the old slothful, inefficiently shameful way which partisanship has saddled on this country.

La Follette and his public utilities commission are well known in those communities that are trying to find the way out of the Slough of Despond in which they found themselves. But La Follette sought no injustice simply truth and efficiency. When his public utilities commission starts in it starts in to get the facts even as his Interstate commerce commission did and on those facts the orders of the commission are made. This bold and revolutionary this anarchistic way of doing business! There is not a large business in the country but is either doing this work or seeking to do it for its own benefit! It is simply the better, the cheaper the least wasteful way giving both the producer, the distributor and the consumer the benefits.

That is the question that Mr. Stainbrook of Johnson county has brought up by raising the ten best ears of corn in the state of Indiana. Who know 8 whether he is a Demoorat or a .Republican? He is certainly a progressive in one field of activity and that is a pretty good sign that he Is in all.

Siam's Garden Lands. Much of the garden land in lower Slam Is made by digging trenches to raise the ground, so that half is trench and half ridge, and only rice can be grown in the trenches. Thus practically only one-half of tbe garden land gives any return, yet the price of such land In the best localities la 8100 to 8350 an acre.

Tree a and Wind. When one travels through the parts of Belgium bordering on tbe sea he sees a striking example of the influence on trees of strong and constant winds. The trees are in general bent toward the interior of tbe country. It was proved gome time ago that the trunks of trees hurled in the peat bogs of Holland all lie in a southwest to northeast direction.

A RECORD FALL

tt Waa Remarkable Not For Distance, but For Results. Writing in 1841 of a fall from an immense altitude which did not result in death, a French observer. M. Mansini. declares that be had searched in, vain in the annals ef science for a similar case. We can well believe it Tbe victim or patient was a ta piaster who bad been engaged in putting up decorations on tbe occasion of tbe belated obsequies of Napoleon the Great in the lofty dome of the Church of the Inralides In Paris. When busy moving a ladder on tbe top of a blgb scaffolding he overbalanced himself and. in obedience to some obscure instinct. Jumped clear of tbe ladder and the platform, crying to his fellow workmen as only a Frenchman would. Behold me quit!" With these cheerful words on his lips be fell etgh-two feet, bounding in one place off the roof of a little dome, which caused him to describe a second parabola in the air. and landing finally, feet first on the slate roof of a small sacristy. Crashing through the slates, he landed astride a rafter, where he' was found sitting, surprised but coherent, for he was able to give bis name and address when asked for them. He had no recollection of this and became unconscious when put to bed shortly afterward under the care of tbe great Pasquier. His insensibility lasted a very short time, however, and be made an extraordinary rapid recovery, having sustained no apparent Injuries, either external or internal. At tbe end of a month Pasquier found him quite well. London Lancet.

THE SQUAW'S SHAWL It Must Be Just So to Suit Her Fastidious Taste. The Indian wears his blanket on the

hottest summer days. His theory Is

that If It keeps out the cold In winter it will keep out the heat In summer, says Ben M. Myers of Oklahoma City. While he might not care to buy anything else, expensive, the price of a suitable blanket is never questioned, but It would be difficult Indeed to deceive bim as to the texture of any robe. "A squaw will imitate almost anything that pleases her fancy, but In tbe matter of her blanket or shawl she exhibits an unusual amount of Individuality. With great care and patience she designs her blanket, and when she places the order with the mill man he does not dare duplicate it until she has had an opportunity to wear It "If she makes the request that it shall not be duplicated ber wishes are regarded, because It Is the one article she possesses in which exclusiveness is much coveted and also because what would please one squaw would not appear at all attractive to another. "The lightweight shawl or blanket Is thrown over the head of the squaw, and unless she is able to purchase a bright colored silk kerchief it will serve as ber only bonnet as well. It Is Just as common a sight now to see the papoose securely bound on the back of Its mother by a portion of ber blanket as it used to be to see the wee bead of the Indian babe peeping from tbe tekas, or frame cradle." Washington Herald. Confidence In the Mails. Having sent a strong box key by mail lu an unregistered letter, a clerk was told by his employer that the key "arrived O. K.." but that the means of transportation adopted showed too much confidence. In answer the clerk said. "Ever since a New Year's eve incident of two years' standing my confidence in the postof0.ee is great" And pressed for an explanation be said: "That evening, or early in the morning rather, a man came out of a restaurant rather the worse for celebrating. He bad a wallet in bis pocket containing considerable money and was uncertain as to the honesty of bis companions. He went to a letter box. forcedfthe wallet through the slot and continued to make a night of it It required considerable red tape to recover his property, but be got it" New York Tribune.

Not Surprised. "What's that you have In you: hand?" asked Mrs. Gimlet of ber hus band as he brought home a roll ot manuscript "Brains, madam," retorted Mr. Glm let pompously. "Are you surprised a: the fact?" "Not in the least," she replied. "1 knew you didn't carry them in your bead."

Occupation. "Miss Callingall complains that she lias too much leisure." "Well, why doesn't she take up something?" "She, does. She takes up other people's time." Judge.

WHIPPED THE LEOPARD. But It Took a Troop of Babeona to Kill the Big Cat. A vivid pen picture of a fight be tween a leopard and a troop of baboons Is given in a German paper by P. Rltter. a sportsman and explorer In German Wat Africa. Leopards have a particular liking for baboon flesh, which is often used as bait to trap them. "One afternoon," the hunter relates. "I was resting on the shady side of a big rock which formed the bank of a small stream. On the opposite side a troop of baboons came down chattering toward the water, a large male going cautiously In front glancing and scenting around for danger. I remained Immobile. "A deep grunt assured the herd that all was well, and down the steep slope tbey came, last of all a female with two young, which the mother tenderly helped over the rough places. Suddenly a big leopard shot out from behind a bowlder and with one blow of his paw grabbed one of tbe young. "The mother, with a roar of fury, threw herself upon the big cat The others baited and with one accord clambered back to her assistance. Th. leopard had just settled the female and was abtout to make off with his prey when be found himself surrounded by the whole horde, which closed In upon bim. "lie gave as good as he got. and two big baboons rolled doWn the slope apparently done for. but numbers told, and be was literally torn to pieces. It wss a horribly fascinating sight and I never regretted more having no camera with me than I did then."
