G&BI tO VISIT TIIE PAD SEX Secretary of Interior's Trip One of Series by Cabinet Officers.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, Feb. 1J. Secretary of tlM Interior Walter L. Fisher will leare this country on Wednesday for a trip to Panama and Incidentally -will tako a two or three week's rest. Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock had originally planned to go with him, but pressing baslness In Washington will probably prevent his doing so. The Fisher pilgrimage Is one of a aertee of visits by cabinet officers to the canal zone. Attorney General Wlckersham Inspected the canal about the first of the year while prior to his call upon Colonel Goethals, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson paid a visit to the big ditch. President Taft wants all bis cabinet advisers to see the canal. He believes that. In order to pass upon the questions Involved in regulation and administration, these department heads abould know first-handed something of the magnitude of the work and of the conditions under which it is progressing. This is the reason one cabinet officer after another baa been advised by the Executive to take a trip to the canal. The President baa himself been there threo times and is even planning a fourth trip. If he should be re-elected and the canal completed during his administration, he will undoubtedly arrange to go there for the formal opening. Secretary Fisher will sail from New York on one of the Panama Steamship Line's steamers. On his return he will stop at Havana and will return to this country via Key West and the new over-the-sea railroad. THK IDEAL VALENTINE.

"Dr. Beans From Boston." An unusually fine treat Is in store for the patrons of the Gennett theater where the latest and best of this season's output of musical comedies, "Dr. Beans from Boston," is underlined as the next attraction.

CHANGED HER MIND. Strategic Game In Demsstie Economy the Husband Played. Strategy can sometimes be made as effective In domestic economy as in tbe operations of war. By way of illustration consider an Instance that recently arose in n certain city. An ambitious young housewife there had an opportunity to buy at a great bargain a handsome rug which she needed. The price was only 1200, but the owner declared that the rug was actually worth $400. The young woman's husband gently protested that even $200 was more than persons of their Income could afford for a single article of household furnishing, but after much persuasion he consented to the purchase, as most husbands do in such cases. But this particular husband played a strategic game. When be gave his wife the money to pay for the rug It was not in currency notes of large denomination, but In the form of 200 round. Bound silver dollars. Tbe young woman was astounded. Until the money was counted down dollar by dollar she never had realized that It would take so many to pay for that rag. . She decided to buy a sixty-five dollar rug. but declared that If tbe money had been given to her In two notes of $100 each she would have bought the costlier one without hesitation. New York Mall. Origin of the Dog. It has been supposed that the dog. like the jackal, descended from a special race. Examination of tbe skulls of tbe canldae In the museum of the French Academy of Sciences shows that nearly all of tbe jackal and wolf species differ from those of the little wolf of India. The little wolf of India is tbe only wild beast possessing the salient eyebrow or crest of the dog. The little wolf has not only the dog's eyebrow crest, but all tbe canine characteristics and none of the characteristics of the wolf. It is presumable that the little wolf of India was the original ancestor of the dog. Tbe two primitive canine races, the "dog of tbe bogs and tbe dog of the age of bronze," were domesticated first in Asia and were Introduced Into Europe from Asia, like most of the domestic animals of Europe. Harper's Weekly. The Origin of Fasting. As Is the case with all very aaclent practices, the origin of fasting Is obscure. Herbert Spencer gives ns to understand that the custom arose ont of the habit of providing refreshments for the dead. The offerings to the dead were often made in so lavish a manner as to Involve the survivors in temporary starvation, and It Is suggested by Spencer that tbe fasting which was at first the natural and inevitable result of the sacrifice on behalf of the dead, may eventually have come to be regarded as an indispensable concomitant of all sacrifice and worship and so have survived as a well established usage long after tbe original cans had ceased to operate.

THE GENNETT, TUESDAY, FEB FOUR BOYS AGAIN NEAR THE GALLOWS (National News Association) CHioiuru, rtu. iz. times Uovernor Deneen grants another reprieve to the four slayers of Fred Guezlow, the young truck gardener, who was murdered on a lonely road near Bowmonville on Oct. 20 last, they will be hanged in tbe Cook county jail here on Friday of this week. The four condemned youths, none of whom is of age, are Ewald and Frank Shiblawski. A. Philip Sommerling. and Thomas Schultz. Two of their accomplices, Frank Kita and Leo Suchomski, both 16 years old, are serving life sentences in prison. Guezlow was driving a wagon full of garden produce when the six boys met him. He alighted from his wagon and was struck down with a club. He pleaded for his life on his knees, because he had a wife and baby a month old at home, but the answer of the youths was to beat him into unconsciousness. Then be was stabbed four times. The boys were arrested while trying to sell some of the booty. All confessed to the crime. Knew What He Was Doing. The stalwart policeman who guards the traffic at Euclid and a cross street rescued a well dressed old gentleman from beneath the very wheels of an automobile. "Officer," said the rescued man, "are you married?" "No, sir," answered the policeman. "Ah, well, you will bear from me in a day or two nevertheless." After he had gone a friend of the officer asked: "Tom. why did you tell the old guy that you wasn't married? You've got a wife an' kid at home, and I know it." "Sure I have. But if I'd told him so he'd have sent me a bam or a basket of grapes. As it is he'll probably come through with a little purse. I ain't no fool!" Cleveland Plain Dealer. Ssnse of Direction In Bees. The directive sense possessed by bees. Is the object of research made by M. Gaston Bonnier of Paris, and he seems to have proved that bees possess a special sense like carrier pigeons. Experiments showed that bees can fly two miles to their hives even when deprived of tbe organs of sight and smell. Many scientists and among others Dadent have always declared that bees are guided by the sense of smell and that they can smell flowers at one and n half miles. Bonnler's experiments proved that bees detect odors at only short distances. No Props. A noted sociologist tells the following story of a woman In a manufacturing town. Approaching her for statistics, he asked, "Madam, have you any children?" "No," she replied. "I have to work In the factory myself." Life. Indigestion For Two.

1STH. IBSEN AS A TAILOR. The Only Help Ha Needed Was In Threading the Needle. An interesting story of Ibsen as a tailor is told in a Paris contemporary. Jonas Lie, a Norwegian poet, was accustomed to spend part of the summer at Berchtesgaden, in the Salesburg Alps. On one of these occasions, while sojourning in the neighborhood, Ibsen turued up at his friend's residence and asked to see Mine. Lie, adding that they neeVl not disturb tho poet. When madame appeared Ibsen apologized. It was only a trifle a button had come off. He had purchased a needle and thread. Mme. Lie, womanlike, offered to sew on the button, but the poet would not hear of it. All he asked was that she would aid him by threading the needle. He had found It most difficult. The lady, of course, complied, and Ibsen went on his way rejoicing. Mme. Lie did not meet Ibsen again until some days after the needle difficulty was surmounted. This time he called to see the poet. There was no demand for an interview with the poet's wife. In the course of conversation the "lady, "wishing to get her own back," inquired somewhat satirically if she could be of any service to her husband's friend. Could she thread another needle for him? "A thousand thanks, ray dear madame," replied the author of "The Doll's House." "I took care when you threaded the needle for me to make the thread long enough to last tbe whole summer.' London Globe. . ... : ..l J. si:d. Incorporated with bread raisins constitute a valuable diet and help out the ment problem. It is stated that the raisin contains nearly 5 per cent protein and over 65 per ent carbohydrates and therefore is a very important energizing food. For invalids and children raisin broad is invaluable, says Life and Health. Tbe simplicity of tho loaf makes it an ideal substitute for the lard, butter, sugar, egg. cream and citron laden cake. It is therefore an important addition to tbe domestic menu, and the woman who has her children's health at heart will see that at each baking two or three loaves are well filled with rai sins, kneading them in just before the loaves are put Into the pans.

Richmond Citizen Should Road and Heed This Advice. Kidney trouble is dangerous and often fatal. Don't experiment with something new and untried. Use a tested and proven kidney remedy. Begin with Doan's Kidney Pills. Used In kidney troubles 75 years. Doan's have cured thousands. Are recommended here and every where. A Richmond citizen's statement forms convincing proof. It's local testimony it can be investigated. Mrs. F. P. Brooks. 215 South Fifth street, Richmond, Indiana, says: "We have used Doan's Kidney Pills in our family for years, getting them at Luken & Co.'s Drug Store, and we would not be without a supply in the house. I took this remedy for weakness of the kidneys and pains in my back and sides and I found great relief. Doan's Kidney Pills are deserving of my highest endorsement." For sale by all dealers.

One Way of Determining a Vessel's Course on an Ocean Voyage. Dead reckoning simply means the computation of a ship's longitude and latitude from her movements as recorded In tbe log and without having recourse to astronomical observations. The chief elements from which the reckoning Is made are these: Tbe point of departure that is. tbe latitude and longitude sailed from or last determined tbe course or direction sailed in as ascertained by the compass, tbe rate of sailing, measured from time to time by the tog, and the time elapsed. The various principles or methods followed In arriving at the reckoning are known among navigators as "plain sailing" and "middle latitude sailing." However, tbe data thus obtained are always liable to considerable errors by reason of currents, leeway, fluctuations of the wiud and changes in the declination of the compass. The results arrived at by dead reckoning, therefore, must of necessity be corrected as often as possible by observation of the heavenly bodies. No navigator would risk relying wholly on this method of determining his position on an ocean voyage.

THE PLANET MARS.

Its Orbit and It Piatawoe From the Son and Earth, While tho astronomers are- still debating and weighing the problem of Mars and Its Inhabitants a few words about the distance of the planet from the snn and earth may be of Interest. The average distance of Mars from the sun is 141,500,000 miles. The distance from earth to sun Is 93,000,000 miles. When sun, earth and Mars are in line, with the sun and Mars on opposite sides of the earth. Mars is said to be in "opposition, and It Is then closest to the earth. If earth and Mars both moved In circles about the sun the distance from earth to Mars at opposition would be forty-eight and a half (141H-95) million miles. But neither of the orbits is circular, that of Mars being much more elliptical than that of the earth, with the result that at opposition Mars may be as far away as 61,000,000 miles from the earth when there Is an unfavorable opposition, or Mars may come' as close as 3. 000.000 miles away, when it is as near as it can possibly come to the earth, and Its opposition is then the most favorable possible. At such times Mars is brightest in the shy and appears of greatest size. Xew York World Biggest ef Cannibal Banquets. Probably the biggest cannibal orgy on record is oue of which Miss Beatrice Grimshaw tells in her book "The Xew New Guinea. "In 1S5S a shipload of Chinamen was being taken down to Australia. The vessel was wrecked upon a reef close to Rossel island (New Guinea). The officers escaped in boats, but were never afterward heard of. As for the Chinamen, numbering S2C. th natives - captured them and put them on a small barren Island, where they had no food and no means of ' getting away. They kept their prisoners supplied with food from the mainland and every now and then carried away a few of them to eat until all but one old man had been devoured. This one succeeded eventually In getting away and told some thing of the story, which seems to have met with "general disbelief. True it is, however, on the evidence of the sons of those who did the deed." CHICHESTER S PILLS Jw THE L4J!ON BKANB. A "SEK ? Ask mr Bnht ft X 1 Illte in B4 m4 M BMttUicVlrV boio.

TOE , QDICK-ACTinG COLD REHEDY

To make a hard cold randan kalckty than you ever thought It coald, try a box of Pines Cold Tablets. Two doeee give wenderfnl reUel. and tha trouble is usually conquered inside of twenty hours. Unequaled for la grtppo no other remedy will stop the aches and pains so rapidly. These tablets do not contain a par tlcle of opiates or coal tar heart depressants, and are entirely simple, harmless and agreeable. They check the nasal discharge, reduce the fever, restore normal activity in the pores, and are very pleasantly laxative and tonic. Cost no more than quinine capsules and are immensely superior. Don't accept a substitute one trial of this quick acting remedy will show' you that there is nothing else "just as good" as Plnex Cold Tablets. Money refunded if disappointed. 2&c per box.
