PROCD OF HIS DI TCH BIX»OD ”1 an) glad to come back to the home of my' forefathers,” Colonel Roosevelt be gan. “I rm proud of the fact that I have good Dutch blood in my veins. My people left here before Rembrandt and De Ruyter were known. » “1 am sorry that 1 cannot speak the Dutch my grandparents taught me. One cradle song I still remember.” Here Colonel Roosevelt recited a lulla by, a quaint old verse in which geese figured, to tlie delight of his hearers. He then spoke on citizenship, praising Hol land for the sturdy qualities of the country, which had maintained itself for many centuries and had taught the lesson that no one could escape being governed —that either he must govern himself or somebody else must do It for him. Each man, he said, must insist on his rights, hut more important, he should remember the duties apd responsibilities he owed to his neighbors. RICH MAY EXPECT PUNISHMENT Farther on in his speech, Colonel Roosevelt said that if the rich maintain ed an arrogant attitude in their relations toward those less well off. they may ex pect the dreadful day of judgment upon themselves or those who come after them.

INDIANA DEMOCRATS NAME KERN AS SENATOR INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. April 29..—Open ing in riotous discord and closing in en thusiastic harmony, the Indiana Demo cratic convention yesterday adopted Gov ernor Marshall's proposition that It should indorse to next year's legisla ture a candidate for the United States senate, and named John W.

WHITE AND DARK MEAT That there Is s notable difference in the composition of the tight and dark meat of a chicken is shown by a scientist. The light meat has much less fat and a correspondingly large quantity “f protein. Th* quantity of water is not very different in the two classes, although there is a slightly less quantity in the dark meat. The latter has a much larger pro portion of meat base Inn as these bases ar* often eonsl.iered of little value and sometimes degenerate into poisonous constituents, it Is seen from this point of view that the white meat is to bo preferred to the dark meat.
