of the products involved in the con
sideration of tariff revision reach

statement made by Senator Money,
in showing the vast importance of tha
question now. being considered by the

States. He states that the cost of

GROWTH Or PEANUT INDUSTRY.
Crop Last Year Amounted to Twelve
Million Deliars.,
Washington, D. C.—The value of
the peanut crop in the United States
last year was $12,000,000. The value
of the peanut, both as a money crop
and for feeding on the farm, according
to experts of the department of ag
riculture, renders it especially desir
able as a part of a plan of rotation
wherever conditions suitable to its de
velopment exist. "

~ What the Sandwich Was For,
A stately old professor was Aap
proached by a young student one day
in one of the Western colleges, Try
ing hard to keep back a smile, the
young man asked: ; \
“Professor, you say yoy are an ex
pert at solving riddles, den't you?"
“I claim that 1 am, my boy."
“Well, then, can you tell me why a
man who hag seen London on a foggy
day and & man who has not seen Lon
don on a foggy day are like a ham
sandwich?"
The professor studied for a long
time, venturing several answers,
which proved to be wrong. Fimally,
at his wit's end, he sald:
“1 give it up.”
“It's easy,” sald the other.
“Give it up,” repeated the profes
sor,
“Wihy,” was the reply, “one has
gseen the mist and the other has miss
ed the scene. Ha, ha! Catch on?”
“Of course I do, you lunatic! But

After the youngster had recovered
from a sgpell of laughter he chuckled:

Old Age Pensions.
The granting of old age pensions Is
certainly the most gracious act which
England has ever performed towaml
her aged people. Cannot we, a great,
vigorous and prosperous nation, strive
to emulate the example here set by
England, and take care of our aged
people who have borme their burdea
during the heat of the day for our
welfare?
This country can well afford to en
ter into friendly rivalry with Eng
land or any other European nation in
acts of benevolence toward their peo
ple. The politician or statesman who
is bold enough to be first to agitate
this matter will make an imperish
able record for himself, besides re
ceiving the benedictions of millions
of our people.—J. G. in the Evening
World.
Nothing Extraordinary.
An American tourist hailing from
the West was out sightseeing in Lon
don. ‘They took him aboard the old
battleship Victory, which was Lord
Nelson’s flagship in several of his
most femous naval triumphs. An Eng
lich sallor escorted the American over
the vessel, and, coming to a raised
brass tablet on the deck, he said, as
he reverently removed his hat:
“'Bre, sir, is the spot where Lord
Nelson fell.”
“Oh, is it?” replied the American
blankly. “Well, that ain’t nothin’. I

The number of deer in Epping For
est is steadily decreasing, and it is
gaid that now there are only about
half the number desired. A few
years ago --they were increasing £o
rapidly that a number were shot
every season. This has not been
done for two years. ;
The keepers complain that the Mag
istrates are too lenient with poachers,
and they think that a small gang of
poachers is systematically working
the forest. The worrying of deer by
dogs is also becoming more frequent.

MAKING SUNSHINE
It Is Often Found in Pure Food.
The improper selection of food
drives many a healthy person into
the depths of despairing illness. In
deed, most sickness comes from
wrong food, and just so surely as
that is the case, right food will make
the sun shine once more.
An old veteran of Newburyport,
Mass., says: “In October, I was
taken sick and went to bed, losing 47
pounds in about 60 days. I had doc
tor after doctor, food hurt me and I
had to live almost entirely on mag
nesia and soda. All solid food dis
tressed me so that water would run
out of my mouth in little streams.
“l had terrible night sweats and
my doctor finally said I had consump
tion and must die. My good wife
gave up all hope. We were at Old
Orchard, Me., at that time, and my
wife saw Grape-Nuts in a grocery
there. She bought some and per
suaded me to try it.
“T had no faith in it, but took it to
plecase her. To my surprise it did not
distress me, as all other food had
done, and before I had taken the fifth
package I was well on the mend. The
pains left my head, my mind became
clearer and I gained weight rapidly.
“I went back to my work again
and now after six weeks' use of ths
food I am better and stronger than
ever before in my life. Grape-Nuts
surely saved my life and made me a
strong, hearty man, 15 pounds heav
ier than before I was taken sick.
“Both my good wife and I are will
ing to make affidavit to the truth of
this.” . ;

! Near Beer Dealers
Atlanta, Ga, — Sixty-four hundred
and eighty dollars has recently been:
turned into the state treasury by
“near beer” dealers of Fulton and
Clarke counties, as a result of activi
ties on the part of Governor Smith,
who engaged special representatives
in these counties to force delinquent
dealers to “come across.,” The col
lections swell the entire sum ol mon
ey collected by the state from deal
ers in “Imitation” beers to $217,000,
and the taxing act has been in force
less than a year, havirg been passed
at the last session of the legislature.
It is learned that “near beer” and
“near beer” taxes will be the subject
of a lively row in the legislature this
summer. One element will attempt
to outlaw the beverage, and, falling
in this, to increase the tax, while
another will urge a reduction in the
tax and probably suggest a 3 a com
promise the creation of an officer,
under the comptroller general, to run
down delinquent dealers and superin
tend, generally, the collection of tax
in every county in the state,
National Guard Eager for
the Annual Encampment
Atlanta, Ga.—Whether the National
Guard of Georgia will have their an
nual encampment, this year, will de
pend upon the orders issued on this
subject by Governor-elect Joseph M.
Brown after his inauguration on June
26. That they want to go into camp
was the unanimous sentiment as gath
ered at the annual meeting of the Na
tional Guard Officers’ Association,
which met in Atlanta.
There are sufficient funds on hand
to defray the state’s expenses if a
camp were ordered, so it would seem
it is a matter that is to be decided
by the governor as soon as he goes
into office. .

A Decrease in Crime,
Says Savannah Chief
Savannah, Ga. — Declaring that
crime has been put down to a great
extent in Savannah through enlarging
the police and detective forces, Chief
of Police W. G. Austin filed his re
port for 1908 with Mayor George W.
Tiedeman. A request that the forces
be further increased went with the
report, The spreading of the popu
lation, says the chief, demands the
enlarging of his department.
During the year the total arrests
were 8,493, which is 414 in excess of
the previous vear. The additional ter
ritory covered by the police causes
this increase. The arrests for drunk
and disorderly were 147 less than in
1907. There have been no serious
outbreaks during the year, and the
Christmas season was quieter than
ever before. No members of the force
were seriously injured on duty, and
all assaults made on them were of
minor importance. The chief of po
lice reports that there is not a single
gaming house operating in the city at
this time. k
