The Chinese, it seems, are not so
prompt in cutting off their queues as
might have been expected from the
Immense vociferousness with which
their queue-cutting program was her-
alded to tbe world. The North China
Herald says that "so far there are
only a thousand queues the less in
Hongkong, and half that number the
less in Shanghai." Another observer
thinks the last state of the Celestial
with his picturesque queue not cut
off short but only maimed beyond
recognition, is worse than the first.

In view of the general carelessness
about fire. It Is not surprising that

so great On the contrary. It Is more
remarkable that the loss Is not even
greater. Very few smokers are care-

Includes every age. sex and condition,
and yet many losses both of property
and life may be traced to these two
causes. People take risks with fire
merely to save a little trouble or con
renlence, which risks are simply as-
tounding to sober second thought, and
the restriction of neither law nor cus-
tom are at all adequate when the
danger Involved is considered. It Is

may be asked to appear before tbe

sult of tbe astounding and puszliug
Jisclosures made before that body
Thursday, when tbe white light was
turned on tbe election of William
Lorimer to the United States senate.
The situation has lu a sense been
placed up to tbe two prominent legis-
lators from the east by reason of the
contradictions of Edward Hine's testi-
mony and the account given by Her-
mun H. Hettler in the I'nion Lengue
dub. The question involves national
issues and problems and brings iu the
name of President Taft.
Mr. Hettler, under oath, declared:
"lllnea told me he had elected Lori-
mer. Then he said: i am a bigger
man thun Taft. I beat him on the
tariff.' '*
Further in one of the affidavits from
Marquette, Mich., secured by M. B.
Coen, Hines is quoted as saying:
"Lorimer promised me to Btand for
a high tariff and protect the lumber
Interests."
That is one side of the puzzling ques-
t'on. These are tbe fads that lie bo-
fore the committee. In contrast to
this, according to the deductions of
prominent legislators. Is the |«d
mony of Hines on the witness stand,
it was as follows in part:
"1 saw Senator Aldrlch and Payne,
and they told rne they were extremely
anxious that I induce Mr. lorimer to
be a candidate for I'nited States
senator. They declared that President
Taft was desirous of his election and
that they wanted him for the tariff
bill."
The statement of Mr. Hlnes would

REASONED IT OUT
And Found a Change In Food Put
Him Right.
A man does not count ns wasted the
time he spends In thinking over his
business, but he seems loth to give
the same sort of careful attention tc
himself and to his health. And yet
hia buslnesa would be worth little
without good health to care for It A
business man tells how ho did him
aelf Kood by carefully thinking over
bla physical condition, Investigating to
find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
"For some yearn I had been bother-
ed a great deal after meals. My food
seemed to lay like lead In my stomarb.
producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain. Of course
thla rendered me more or lesn unfit
for buslnesa, and I made up my mind
that something would have to be done.
"Reflection led me to the conclusion
that overeating, tilling the stomach
with Indigestible food, was responsible
for many of the ills that human flesh
endurea, and that I waa punishing
myaelf ln that way—that waa what
waa making me bo dull, heavy and un-
comfortable, and unfit for buslneea
after meals. I concluded to try tlrape-
Nuta food to aee what It could do for
me.
"I have been using It for aom*
months now, and am glad lo say that
I do not suffer any longer after meals;
my food seems to assimilate easily
and perfectly. Aid to do the work for
which It was Intended.
"I have regained my normal weight,
and find that business Is a pleasure
once more—ran take more Internet In
It, and my mind Is clearer and more
alert."
