' Charles XII. of Sweden invented the first portable military fireless cooker. He had, a knapsack lined with hay to trap to a soldier's back. When startlng on a march a big chicken was split open and the Inside dressed clean and then filled with butter. In the chicken was placed a small cannon ball of hot Iron. The hot cooking chicken was then placed in the hay knapsack. When the camp was pitched at evening the meat was deliciously cooked and all soaking in butter. DIET AND HEALTH HINTS By Dl. T. J. ALLEN Feed Specialist QUERIES AS TO UNPOLISHED RICE. Several Inquiries have been received in regard to unpolished rice. It has been explained that the polished rice In common use has been milled as wheat Is milled, having the outer coat removed, Awhlch contains most of the nitrogenous element and some of the mineral. Then the grain Is coated with glucose and talc, which should be carefully washed off after soaking where the polished rice Is used. The difference between the milled and unmllled rice is much the same as between milled white flour and the whole wheat. The unpolished rice should not coat more than the polished, but If there Is little demand for It, It may cost more in some places on account of the extra charge for transportation of a small quantity. The reader who thicks that I am responsible for "boosting" the price by recommending the whole grain rice should Investigate further. If there were sufficient demand unpolished rice could be had in any grocery store for ten cents a pound. (Copyright. 3311. by Joseph B. Bowles.)

A Business Form Of Government. We wish that the talk' delivered by President Thieme of the Ft. Wayne Commercial Club might have been heard by others than the members of the Commercial Club. His subject was "A Business Form of Government." Mr. Thieme made a true indictment of city government in America as it exists today. He did this using his own city of Ft. Wayne as an example although his examples were unfortunately true of almost every other city in the United States with the exception of the commission government towns. To counteract the well known failure of city government Mr. Thieme urged a return to the principles of common sense. He proposed that the developments of business growth should be studied and used as models for the business corporation of the city. To do this he suggested that the city of Richmond should elect a council of eleven to serve without pay. This council he urged should decide all the questions of policy. In addition it should be its duty to hire at an indeterminate figure a man equipped for the office of mayor or rather a business manager for the city. In turn the business manager should proceed to hire his departmental heads. All questions of public policy such as franchises are to be determined by the council. But franchises may be submitted to the people for their consideration. The councillors are subject to the recall but not the mayor.

There is no one but will admit that this plan of city government is more 'sensible than' the one which we have now. The present scheme is patterned after the most antiquated forms of government which are passing even from our state and national systems. But it is by no means certain that such an ideal scheme of government will prosper off hand. We believe that the commission form of government, depending as it does on the idea of pure democracy is more in keeping with the present feeling of the people than this business form of government. The scheme which Mr. Thieme proposes in in use upon the continent, particularly in German cities. But as Mr. Foulke pointed out to the Commercial Club, the conditions in German cities and in America do not correspond. There, the suffrage is not universal. Here every man can vote. There the trouble has not been with public service corporations which seek to take over whole city governments by bribery in order to obtain valuable franchise grants. The reason is simple because there the city is allowed to do anything that it cares to. In Germany the city may embark in the butcher business, the gardening business, not to mention the ordinary functions of furnishing, light, heat, power, transportation, garbage disposal, and communication. Here and particularly in Indiana, it is not permissable for the city to embark in any money making venture and the limits are very closely drawn (we wonder by whose influence) as to what a city may legally do.

If Mr. Thieme and his associates are working, and we think that they are, for the freedom of the city to manage itself, to make its own charter; to be something more than a legal fiction and a creature of the state; to be able to manage its affairs for its own benefit then we are heartily in sympathy with their efforts. But if they are merely endeavoring to graft a new form of government upon the old (and worse than useless form of government that we now have) we think that it ought to be criticised from the point of view of its danger. In other words, if Ft. Wayne wants this form of government which Mr. Thieme proposes, we are heartily in favor of Ft. Wayne having this form of government. We ask Ft. Wayne to assist us in having whatever form of government we shall decide to have.

At least Richmond ought to have the option between the business form of government, the commission form of government and the present towns and cities act passed by the legislature a few years ago.

Our suggestions are: That the number of councillors who are to serve without pay are too many in number. They should be fewer in order to keep track of their official acts. Secondly, every man who is in an executive position ought to be subject to the recall. Thirdly, every franchise should be submitted to the people for their ratification (although we are willing to leave the subject of rates with such a body'as the public utilities commission of Wisconsin.) If these things were done there would be little outward difference between it and the commission form of government except that the people would not ELECT, BUT THE COUNCIL SELECT THEIR ADMINISTRATORS. WE ARE NOT YET WILLING TO ADMIT, UNTIL THE TWO HUNDRED CITIES THAT HAVE ADOPTED THE COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERNMENT SHALL SHOW THE NECESSITY FOR THIS, THAT THE PEOPLE CANNOT ELECT MEN TO OFFICE WHO ARE FITTED FOR THE TRANSACTION OF THEIR BUSINESS.

In case this should be demonstrated we should cbnsider that our whole theory of government would have to be changed and that we should have to give up all thoughts of government by the people. In that case we shall have to consider a far different question of government, namely: WHO ARE TO BE CITIZENS OF THIS REPUBLIC? In that case the questions of property rights, of educational tests, as applied to the right to vote will come before us a greater question than the management of all the cities in this country. Just at present we are trying to determine whether by giving the people full power by tearing out the superstructure of balanced government will prove that the people can govern themselves. When we have settled this question we shall know whether our whole government is to be based on the theory of elective government by all the people as in the commission plan or by the government of a few as in the business form of government as proposed by Mr. Thieme.

For the presentfWe prefer to stand on the side of free and untrammeled self government by all the people in city, state and nation.

When his father was leaving his native country to settle In America he borrowed 20 from a relative. The family had an uphill battle on the other side of the Atlantic, but when the tide of prosperity turned with the son he remembered his father's Indebtedness and determined to clear It off, together with its accumulated interest. He started by remitting the sum of 20 and for several years sent the same amount, a dividend equal to exactly 100 per cent. Returning to Scotland, the Pittsburgh ironmaster met his old relative. "Well," said Mr. Carnegie, "having paid up a good deal of the interest, I should like now to clear off the principal." "Ay, ay, Andrew, dinna ye fash yersel aboot the loan! A'm pairfectly satisfied with the Interest" "Oh, but I'm rich enough now, I think, to clear off the principal!" replied the millionaire. "Dinna mind the principal, Andrew," said the relative. "It's very weel invested as it is!" London Family Herald. Lazinesa a Disease. Laziness should be regarded as a disease when no organic cause of ill health exists, and people should be compelled to get through their allotted work as they would have to take their powders of quinine If they were suffering from Influenza. There are scores of self pitying loafers on the sick list of every doctor who need, not drugs, not "treatment" of any sort, but simply work. To prescribe rest cures for this type is directly Inciting them to a lazy life, when their dissatisfaction, general seediness and lack of vitality are the direct outcome of having too little to do already. It is not more rest that they require, but compulsory, methodical, regulated work six days out of seven. Work is the best medicine in the world, the ideal stimulant, because It leaves no 111 effects.

C "A physician treated me for manv distressing symptoms," writes Mrs. Etta A. Smith, "but gave me no relief. "I suffered with neuralgia around the heart and was troubled at times with my head. I had pam in my left side, bowels, left thigh, shoulders and arms. "After taking Cardui, I am now well and can recommend it to other suffering women." Just such doubtful symptoms, as those from which Mrs. Smith suffered, are the ones for which it will pay you to take Cardui, the woman's tonic. It is at such times, w hen there is nothing to show, for certain, the real cause of the trouble, that you need a tonic, to give the body strength to throw off the illness :hat evidently threatens. Take Cardui, when you are ill, with the ailments of your sex. Take Cardui is a tonic, to prevent illness, when you eel it coming. Your druggist keeps it. N. B Write to-' Ladies' Advisory Dept.

Pert Answer. In his book. "The Spice of Life." Thormanby, the author, says that he knew a learned counsel once who always boasted that he looked twenty years yonnger than he was, bnt he had an awful blow one day when he was cross examining a very self possessed yotfng lady. He wanted her to tell him the age of somebody she knew or at least to make a guess at it, but he couldn't get a satisfactory answer from her. "Come; you can generally form an idea of age from people's looks." he said, coaxlngly. "Now. how old would you say I am?" To which the lady replied. "You might be sixty by your looks; but. judging by the questions you ask. 1 should say about sixteen."

Shoreless Bolivia. In territorial extent Bolivia stands third among the republics of South America and is one of the two without a seaport. Her natural outlet to the Pacific ocean was taken by Chile at the end of the war of the Pacific, and today she is shut off from the sea like Switzerland. La Paz, Oruro and Potosi are all cities standing over 12,000 feet above the level of the sea.

Course of the Sun. It is not known whether the sun Is moving around another as a center. All probabilities are against the idea. Since the Invention of the telescope and micrometer no turning to the right or left has been detected. It. so far as known, seems to be moving along on a straight line. But analogy is against this also. Millions of other suns attract ours, and the path beyond a doubt bends this way and that, like that of a bee in a swarm, but the curvature cannot be noticed. Draw a circle ten miles in diameter, cut ont one inch, and you won Id say the inch is a straight line. The sun's path traversed during the last 300 years at twelve mi'es per second is about in the proportion of this cut out inch. Edgar Lucien Larkln in New York American.
