The president also expects to ~have several of the cabinet officers with him at different times during his long journey through.the west and south. Secretary of War Dickinson, for in stdnce, probably will be with the pres. jdent during practically all [of the southern end of the tour. Before his departure, the president made public a tentative outline of “his trip through the west and south this fail. 1t will be a wide swing around practically -the entire United States, embracing a journey . approximating 13,000 miles—as long as the cruise of the battleship fleet from Hampton Roads, through the Straits of Magel lan to San Francisco bay, The trip will ‘be one of the most notable ever made by a president, It will be as diverse as could well be imagined, and no “Seeing-all-America” tour could be devised to embrace as many points cf interest in so brief a space of time as President Taft will give to his jaunt to the Pacific coast and back through the great states of the south, During his tour the president will traverse the royal gorge of the Rocky Mountains, will visit the Alaska-Yu kon exposition at Seattle, will spend three days in the famed Yosemite val ley, will stop oftf at the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and follow the trail down into the depths of that giant abyss, will greet the president of Mex ico on the International bridge over the Rio Grande at El Paso on October 16, will take a four. days’ sail down the Mississippi river, from St. Louis to New Orleans, with various stops en route, and will spend four days on the ranch of his brother, Charles .

He will motor into Boston the morning of September 15-his fifty second birthday—and there board the car which practically will be a roving white house for two months, The president has accepted practically all the invitations that could be crowded into the sixty days set aside for the trip, and his acceptance book is clos ed. There naturally will be many five -and ten minute stops not included in the regular itinerary, and many bricf little car-end speeches, but' the tour ~as ‘'now announcer is to all intents and purposes complete.

From All Over tﬁe West the Cry Comes for Help. . Washington, D. C.—lnuisputable ev idence that the country is rapidly re covering from the effects of the re cent financial depression, and that it now is.on the crest of a great pros- Perity® wave, is furnished by appeals received by the division of informa tion of the department of commerce and labor, particularly from the west. The greatest cry for labor comes from Lincoln, Neb. The commercial bodies of that city made a similar appeal before the panic, but follow ing the ‘“slump” countermanded the request for labor, In a letter received from W. S. Whitten, secretary of the Commercial Club of Lincoln, it is asserted that “there is’ great need of labor, both skilled and common, throughout the state, particularly in Lincoln and Omaha and the smaller cities, where more Or less manufacturing is done. A scale of wages is submitted show ing that “good money” is paid Ila. borers, Shortly following the panic, a La- Crosse, Wis., manufacturing company wrote that “we will not have any dif ficulty in getting all the help we want now,” but, through Representative Kch, of that state, that concern now writes that it wants “ten or fifteen families of five children each.” - GAMBLERS DISGUSTED. 1 They Found the Lid On 4t : Saratoga. : New York City.—The horde of gamblers who rushed to Saratoga at the opening of the racing season in | the belief that the “lid” would be off, have returned, disgruntled and minus \ their railroad fares. They reported that they had been given to under stand that not only would Canfield’s' famous place be open, but that rowa lette wheels and al]l] other kinds of gambling would be run unrestricted. They report that not a single game was permitted to open and that they were told that there would be no more gambling during or after the racing season. | ASKED RANSOM FOR RAILROAD. Man Threatened to Destroy Pennsyl vania R. R. Unless Given $45,000. Philadelphia, Pa.—“ This is a decla ration of war., My life is openely staked on the result, for I am pre pared to meet you at any time and place you may name, The weapons I shall use are dynamite and other high explosives.” : Thus wrote Abram €. Eby, mayor and referee in bankruptcy of Burke ville, Va., to the ‘“President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Philadelphia,” on July 23, naming $45,000 as the ransome for the . safety of the rail road and the traveling public and oth erwise threatening ,the Pennsylvania- Railroad. He was arrested. , . \ .——.——-———QL.—_._———-——- Panama Bond Issue Delayed. Washington, - D. C.—None of the. new Panama bonds authorized by con gress at the session just closed will be issued before congress meets !again, and has had an opportunity to change the existing circulation tax. Announcement to this effect was made in a statement issued by Secre tary of the Treasury MacVeagh. Japanese Strike Off. Honolulu, Hawaii.—The strike of more’ than 6,000 Japanese plantation laborers, which has been in progress for two months and has caused much’ loss to the plgntetxl': in the islands,was eis i AT K %me@ﬁ f : Thing of the Past. Leonaro O'Reilly, the vice presidant of the Womens Trade Union Leazua, was pralsing this organization's work in: New York. “And it has a great future hefn,e it,” she sald. "l have no doubt that a century hence the members of the league will regard the woman of to day as we now regard the farmer's wifa of the early '4o's, “A Maine deacon of the early '4o's was talking to the minister, He snil wad and whined: “‘Oh, ves, Job suifered some, ! ain't denvin' ¢hat pavson. But Job never knowed what it was to hava his team run off and Kkill his wife right in the midst of the harvest sea. son, with hired girls wantin’' two dol lars and two and a half a week.'" -Washington S‘ar.

LEARHY, General Passenger Agt., Atlanta, Ga. | The Twins. Frank Work, the aged New York " millionaire, was talking to a reporter about international marriages. “I can't understand.” he said, “why a beautiful American heiress will marry one of these fortune-hunting, empty-héaded forzigners when she might have her pick of a hundred strong, clean, industrious American men. - “The girl who makes an interna tional- marriage,” said Mr. Work, frowning, “misses the real thing as widely as the Homer twins missed %, “The Homer. twins, aged about four, got their morning bath, and then were dressed in clean white suits and told to go out and play. “At the end of an hour or so, their mother wen: to look fer them. She found them in the back garden. it had rained the night before, and a certain favorite hollow under an elm tree was one soft mess of ankle deep mud. In this mud, on their stomachs, lay the twins, kicking out their legs and brandishing their arms with vigor. ««\What on earth are you doing? the mother cried. “We're learin' to swim, mother/ the twins answered.”—Washington Star. : HIS CHANCE.

People can eat improper food for a time until there is a sud den collapse of the digestive organs, then all kinds of trouble follow. The proper way out of the difficul ‘ty is to shift to the pure, scientific !food, Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds ;'from the foundation up. A New ‘Hampshire woman says: “Last summer I was suddenly tak en with indigestion and severe stom ach trouble and could not eat food without great pain, my stomach was so sore I could hardly move about. This kept up until I was so miserable ilife was not worth living. “Then a friend finally, after much largument, induced me to quit my former diet and try Grape-Nuts. “Although I had but little faith I commenced to use it, and great was my surprise to find that I could eat it without the usual pain and distress .in my stomach, | “So I kept on using Grape-Nuts, and soon a marked improvement was shown, for my stomach was perform .ing its regular work in a normal way ‘“wwithout pain or distress. . “Very soon the yellow coating dis appeared from my tongue, the dull, .heavy feeling in my head disappeared and my mind felt light and clear; the wJanguid, tired feeling left, and alto “gether I felt as if:l had been rebuilt. Strength and weight came back rap idly, and I went back to my work with renewed ambition. “To-day I am a new woman in mind as well as body, and I owe it all to this natural food, Grape-Nuts.”: “There’s a Reason.” ; Look in pkgs. for tae famous little book, “The Road to Wellvilte.” g Exer read the above lctter? - A new *meume to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human RPN News of the Legislature. ! The bill to curb the power of the recorder of the police court of Ma gon, introduced by Hon, Joe Hill Hall of Bibb was taken up and pnsagd by the house; In urging the neces sity of his bill, Mr, Hall said the re corder now had power to fine a mu nicipal offender SSOO and to sentence him to 90 days' labor in the chain gang. The bill limits the power ol the recorder to impose a sentence of SIOO and two menths’ imprisonment, The senate by a vote of 29 to 6, passed the bill by Senator Rutherford extending the right of eminent do main to railroad companies with Georgia charters for the purposes of building spur tracks to industrial en \orprhes, double-tracking their main lines, taking out curves and kinks and erecting terminals, Signed by seventeen of the sena- | tors who voted against the removal from office of Chairman S. G. Mec: Lendon of the rallroad commission, a protest against the action of the ma jority of the senate both in removing the commissioner and in refusing to record on the journal the fact that Senator R, D. Callaway of the twenty ninth, voted for removal upon the Athens bond deal and not upon the charges preferred by former Govern or Hoke Smith, was recorded on the journal of the senate, in accordance with a privilege prmitted under the rules of that body. \ Mutual aid, benefit and industrial life insurance companies are required, under a bill which passed the house, to maintain a reserve of $1.50 insolv ~ent assets for each SIOO of insurance ~or risk carried by such corporations. ' The measure was introduced by Mr.l Upshaw of Douglas. It provides that in estimating the amount of insolv ‘ent asscts there must be deducted any liabilities of such company for any money due on claims other than liabilities upon its policies, contracts of insurance or certificates of men | bers.hip. ’ After a determined fight by the small coterie of opponents of the ‘ measure, the substitute bill to provide for the -acceptance by the state of ‘Georgia of the code prepared by| Judge John L. Hopkins, passed the lhouse by a vote of 97 to 12. His‘ compensation will be $6,500. Just what will be the nature of the tax to be placed upon scda fountain' syrups, such as coca-cola and others, by the finance committee of the sen ate, now considering the general taxl bill, will depend largely upon the opinion of Attorney General John C.I Hart, to whom the matter will be re ferred by a subcommittee of three, composed of Senators Burwell, Ruth erford and Mathews. In any event it is certain that the tax of 5 cents 'a gallon as passed by the house or representatives will be greatly re duced. » A strangely familiar echo of the'_ convict inguisition of last summer,i when the legislature was cailed in extra session by Governor Smith, rang through the house of represen tatives when the bill to provide addi tional buildings at the state reform-] atory and the state farm at Milledge ville was under discussion. Condi tions were said to be in a most unsat isfactory condition at the state farm,i where there was no possibility at present of separating the races as provided by law, or even the sexes, if girls should be sent to the reform atory, The crime of confining able-1 ' bodied convicts in the same quarters ' with those afflicted with tuberculosis_,| was also stressed by the advocates of the bill introduced by Messrs. Vinson of Baldwin and Lovejoy of Troup. The }measure was finally passed by a vote iof 100 to 37, amended so as to pro vide for an appropriation of SB,OOO, one-half of which was to be used for building a negro reformatory and one half for a tuberculosis hospital. To encourage the live stock indus try of Georgia by co-operating in the work of eradicating the cattle tick, the house passed a measure giving ’added power to the commissioner of agriculture and the state veterinari an appropriating $5,000 for the wc The measure was introduced by the Messrs. Reid of Putnam, who has long advocated such a measure, and Johnson of Bartow. After a brief de bate the measure was passed by a vote of 119 to 21. A second assistant state librarian, as provided for in a bill by Mr., Alex ander of DeKalb to receive a salary of $750 a year, was authorized by the ' house, when it approved the bill by a vote of 100 to 0. A bill providing for the exchange with other states of public rfecords, and to supply state institutions with copies of the Revolutionary and Colo nial Records, was passed by the house, A strong effort was made in the senate to have the revolution propos ing to ratify the income tax amend ment to the constitution of the Unit ed States, made a 'special order for immediate consideration. Senator ﬁ‘erry of the thirty-third led the fight or action upon the amendment, de claring it to be his ambition to have Georgia the first state to act. The committee on rules refused to set it down: as a special order, and the sen ate voted against amending the re port of the committee so as to in clude it in the order of business. It became quite apparent that there is a strong sentiment in the senate agairst ratification of the amendment, this sentiment being supposedly on the ground that if there is to be any income tax, Georgia should get the benefit of it. The house of representatives af firmed the suspension of former Rail road Commissioner McLendon by the ‘overwhelming vote of 129 to* 40. ‘The , Mztm nsion of Mr. ‘McLendon now stands " under the law.
