Why Drink Water?

Why should man or beast drink water In stormy weather? Why not absorb It through the pores of the skiu? A fairly well known writer and poet once Informed me In all seriousness that he had never swallowed a drop of water since he was old enough to do his own thinking. When thirsty he would lie in a bath and drink through ibis pores. He was always In a state of sensible and insensible perspiration. One day I had the temerity to Inquire whether he drank through his sebasftous or perspiratory glands; that Is, through grease or sweat He refused to make reply. A learned physician asserted that man could not absorb enough water through bis skin to keep him alive, the pores, or glands, being secretory and excretory. That is to say, they do not drink. “If a fellow could drink through his skin,” he said, “he could eat through It as well. He could He down In a bathtub of broth, beef tea or good, strong chicken soup and drink through 2,500,000 glands all at once. Or he might take a dip in a tub of whisky and get 2,500,000 drams In a minute without getting a stinking breath. When mankind can drink and eat through the epidermis and derma there will be no more use for stomachs or doctors.” — New York Press.

FAMILY FOOD.

Crisp, Toothsome and Require. No Cooking;. A little boy down in N. C. asked his mother to write an account of how Grape-Nut food had helped their family. She gays Grape-Nuts was first brought to her attention on a visit to Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor of that was using the food by the advice of his physician. She says: “They derive so much good from It that they never pass a day without using Jt While I was there I used the Food regularly. I gained about 15 pounds and felt so well that when I returned home I began using GrapoNuts In our family regularly. “My little 18 months old baby sho:tiy after being weaned was very 111 with dyspepsia and teething. She was •lck nine weeks and we tried everything. She became bo emaciated that It was painful to handle her and we thought we were going to lose her. One day a happy thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts soaked In a little warm milk. t “Well, It worked like a charm and she began taking it regularly and Improvement set In at once. She is now getting well and round and fat as fast as possible on Grape-Nuts. “Some time ago several of the family were stricken with La Grippe at the same time, and during the worst stages we could not relish anything In the shape of food but Grape-Nuts and oranges, everything else nauseated us. “We all appreciate what your famous food has done for our family.” “There’s a Reason."

STEEL TRUST’S CITY,

GARY, IND., WILL. BE THE PARA* DISE OF CAPITALISTS. Wonderful Town Which Hu Sprung Up on tke Shore of I.akc Michigan Will Be Corporation Owned and Baled. The town of Gary, Ind., which is being -built at the behest of the magnates of the steel trust, is practically completed. The gigantic steel plant which is to dwarf every industrial plant4haL has ever existed is raising its tall chimneys against the sky, and the great furnaces in whose flow thousands of toilers will find a living are standing with greedy mouths waiting for their food. Down on the sand dunes of Indiana. on a little neck of land stretching into the southern end of Lake Michigan, the new town is rising. Only the qther day there was nothing there but the dreary mounds of sand with a sparse and hungry vegetation accentuating the dreariness. Even the drowsy Calumet, which river flows through the new- city, had a forlorn and lifeless aspect. All that is now changed. The sand dunes have been leveled. The reedy marshes of the river have been filled in, and In place of the few scattered trees modern buildings have arisen, and thousands of laborers have turned the desolate place into a great camp of industry where pick and shovel, mason's ‘ trowel and architect’s measure are busy all day long. Broadway, the principal street, is 3% miles long and 100 feet wide, with 20-foot sidewalks. On every side stores, banks, hotels and office buildings are rising to completion. Two hotels, at a cost of over $50,000, are under way, while a bank building is completed and a, new'spaper office.. Is even now busy publishing a weekly paper, which will soon be a daily. -■ - --- Unique Living Condition*. Twelve thousand men will gain a living in the mills. They will form A great homogeneous majority of the new city’s population, and with the end already in sight the question arises as to (how this great army with their wives and families will live. The place where these men will work will be owned by the United States Steel Corporation, the houses that they will live In will be owned by the same body, they will pay their taxes and receive their light and water at the will of their employers. Such Is the plan, at least, at present, and those who ar# Interested in the great experiment are now inquiring curiously as to what these unique conditions of living will mean.

There are persistent rumors that the packing houses in Chicago will move to Gary and interests allied to the Steel Trust are already beginning to flock to the new city. Fouudries, ship yards, manufactories of bridges, sheet steel* structural iron, tinplate, wire and wire products, and other concerns Into whose business steel enters largely, have already acquired or are seeking sites on which to erect factories. The initial population of Gary will certainly not be below 20,000 and may be more. Guarding Agrainst Strikes. Gary is intended to fulfill the dream of many corporations and the particular dream of the Steel Trust —a town where labor agitation will be unknown and where capital will have full swing. The United States Steel Corporation is leaving no stone unturned to have in Its hands sufficient power to quell Instantly any attempt at a strike. The steel plant is located on one side of the Calumet river, which divides the town Into two parts. Fronted by the river and backed by the lake, it will be almost impregnable to rioting strikers. Swinging bridges across the Calumet will turn it into a mediaeval fortress about which the drawbridges may be swung upwai*d and the enemy cut off while the castle can obtain fresh supplies of defenders and ammunition from the lake steamers. Then, again, when the striker faces raised rates for his light, fuel and transportation, he will probably think twice before striking, or at least such is the hope of his employers. Worker! Nearly All Poles. An Interesting feature of the whole project is that almost the entire population will be Polish. In the’ new town English will be at a discount, and the Pole, with his habitual dislike for departing from his native tongutjpand customs, will have a unique opportunity to find In the English-speaking country to which he is flocking In thousands a city where he will meet only his own countrymen, where the natives of the country will be to all lntents'and purposes foreigners, and where he will be enabled to live his life under the traditions and customs of bis native land.

Note* of Current Events,

Several persons were injured when two passenger trains collided head on on the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio railroad near Sea brook, Texas. Sachem Hall, the new 9100,000 dormitory of Tale university at New Haven, was so badly damaged by fire that It will be necessary to rebuild it. Fire In the upper stories of the Monitor Truck and Storage building In Toledo caused a loss of 9200,000. The International Harvester Company was the heaviest loser. Effect ire war, it la annourced, is being waged against the Black Hand throughout Pennsylvania by the Btate constabulary and the' indications are that tbs troops will soon rid the commonwealth if this murderous organisation.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP

Following the conference of high officials with the president, orders were issued by Acting Secretary of the Navy Newberry to hasten all preparations for the much discussed cruise of the battle-sliip fleet to the Pacific Coast. He said that the fleet •would sail from Hampton Roads December 15 for San Francisco, in command of Admiral Evans, expecting to arrive at the destination-April 10, a distance of 13,772 miles. The big warships will be under steam sixty-three days, and spend fifty-two days at target practice. The sailing pace will be ten knots an hour, permitting colliers to accompany the fleet part of the way. Over 100,000 {gns of coal will be consumed. A complete machine shop on board the Panther will be constantly at hand for repairs. Following sharp attacks on the Board of Naval in the Navy, a service publication, Secretary Metcalfe called o'n all officers for suggestions how to promote the efficiency of the service. Two of the battleships, the lowa and Indiana, were criticised as being “soft coders,” and already these have been orderM Into the reserve list, most of Their men going to the new battleships. By “soft end’’ the critics mean ships having spaces at the bow and stern not protected by armor, which in action would make them vulnerable to attack. It Is also charged that steering engines in several cases have been lgft unprotected by the naval constructors. Other ships thus criticised are the Oregon, Massachusetts, Kentucky and Kearsarge.

The Navy Department has announced the awarding of contracts for the construction of the two new * 20,000-ton “Dreadnoughts!! to the Fare _River Shipbuilding Company of Quincy, Mass., and the Newport News Shipbuilding Company of Newport News, Vtw respectively. One of these,ships is to have American turbines and the other the British type of turbines. The contract price witli the Newport News company is $4,090,000, and that with the Fore River $4,377,000, these being the lowest two bids. Contracts for the armor are divided among the Carnegie, Bethlehem and Midvale plants.

The Naval Board of Inspection and Survey has forwarded to the Navy Department its report op the exhaustive trials of the four submarine torpedo boats, the Octopus, Viper, Cuttlefish and Tarantula, constructed for the government. Much attention was devoted to the open ocean trial of the Viper, which was selected to make a ninety-six hour Sea test for the purpose of determining endurance. The performance of the Viper demonstrated that she has a radius of action of 1,000 miles \yitbout coming into port or communicating with any other vessel for -a period of four days.

Painters at work on the dome of the Capitol in Washington found in the gutter below the first bulge a woman’s bonnet, four derby hats, ten straw hats, two ham sandwiches, thirteen cents, a nursing-bottle, and a sparrows’ nest containing thirty-eight eggs. The sparrows must have planued a corner in the egg market, for no hen sparrow could cover three dozen eggs with any prospect of hatching them. The cruiser Washington, which has been in commission but a few months, recently had her final tests under the supervision of the Trial Board of the Navy Department with most gratifying results, her speed record being over twenty-one knots an hour, and the action of her guns and turrets proving exact duplicate of the cruiser Tennessee.

It has been agreed between the governments of Canada and of the United States that the owners of all buildings on the boundary-line must decide in which country they shall live, and must move thts whole building accordingly. The purpose of this agreement Is to reduce the smuggling evil and otherwise to put an end to lawlessness on the border. ~ a * *. Public Printer Stillings has ordered that hereafter all employes of the government printing office shall address one another with the formal designations "Mr.” and “Miss,” In contradisthe prevailing custom of using nicknames. Hereafter medical preparations, such as headache powders, which contain acetphenltldin, must have on their published formulas notice that the preparation contains “acetanllld,” from which the former drug is derived. The president has approved Col. Goethal's request for authority to expend $8,000,000 more than the appropriation for the present flacal year on the Panama Canal. The reason for asking thla was that the work had proceeded with greater rapidity than was anticipated, and this action was believed to be In the Interest of true economy and might save a year’s time In completing the canal. Congress will be requested tv make an appropriation to cover tl'k

DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI.

Brent Pngeant to Honor Roosevelt KnrJy |q October. ' - ( For the first time In history a President of the United States Is going to take a journey bn the Mississippi river, •not for the purpose of getting from one point to another, but to see tlio great river, to meet the people who live along Its banks and to acquaint himself with the conditions as they exist at the present time in that territory adjacent to the “father of waters.” True to his principle of seeing things for himself instead of through the eyes of others. President Roosevelt is coming to the Mississippi valley in October to find out what the needs of this great waterway and those tributary to It really are, and the members of the Lakes-to-Th&Gulf Beep Waterway Association hope to so impress him with the Importance of their project that before he leaves the middle west'ihe will be singing “14 feet through the valley” as lustily as the rest of them.

The entire river from Keokuk, Ind., where he embarks on the river boat Mississippi, to~ Memphis, where his Journey ends, will be en fete to greet him, hut at St. Louis the most elaborate reception will occur. Here the harbor and the city will combine to do him honor, and the decorations as well as the program of events will be on the most elaborate scale possible. The President will leave Keokuk on Tuesday morning, Oct. 1, and will go down the river on the Mississippi river Commission's steamboat Mississippi, arriving at St. Louis about 9 o’clock in the morning of the 2d. Here, he will be met by the Governors of 20 Mississippi valley States, the officers of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway Association and the Executive Committee of the St. Louis Business Men’s League, who are his hosts on this occasion. He will remain in St. Louis a few hours, departing thence for Cairo and Memphis. Along the river every town will be decorated jn honor of the distinguished traveler, and every boat from one end of the river to the other is expected to take some part in the great four-day pageant.

International Socialist Congress.

Eight hundred and eighty-six delegates, representing twenty-five of the leading nations of the world, which constituted the International Congress of Socialists, met for the first time on German soil at Stuttgart. Of these, 300 were from Germany, 130 from England, 00 from France, 80 from Austria, 50 from Russia and smaller delegations from Switzerland, Bohemia, Hungary, Italy, Bulgaria, Roumania, Sweden, Holland, the United States, Argentina, South Africa, Australia and Japan. Secretary Van der Velde of the International Socialist Bureau, officiated at the opening of the congress. The opening address was made by Herr Bebel of Germany. He laid stress on the Socialist gaihs during the past year in France and on the fact that for the first time Socialists had been elected to the British Parliament. In his own country, while the number of scats in the Reichstag had been reduced, be pointed out that the Socialist vote had increased a quarter of a million since 1900. He said the number of enrolled members of Socialist syndicates in Germany last year was 1,800,000. He referred to the “scandalous prosecution” of Haywood in America, and expressed satisfaction at his acquittal. Herr Singer presided. An openair mass meeting was attended by 10,000 Socialists. The more important subjects discussed during the week were immigration. the relations of the party to trade unions and the proposal to introduce simultaneously in all parliaments a motion for establishing by law maximum working hours.

The appointed day came, but at the livery-stable all the horses were taken save one old, shaky, exceedingly gaunt beast Mr. Nye, says Harper’s Weekly, hired it, and drove to his friend’s residence. The lady kept him waiting nearly an hour before she was ready, and then, on viewing the shabby outfit, flatly refused to accompany Mr. Nye. “Why,” she exclaimed, “that horse may die of old age any moment!” “Madam,” Mr. Nye replied, “when I arrived that horse was a prancing young colt’”
