In the protection of infant industries
that stand some eventual chance of
becoming self sustaining. That many
of these industries, only fostered by
protection, are now self sustaining
and do not need a protective tariff, Is
abundantly shown and notoriously
confessed, as to the great steel indus-
try and Andrew Carnegie.
"Through many of us newly elect-
ed members, the people are protest-
i ing, not against the wealth of the
country but against the present svs-
tem of distribution, which fully de-
serves that bitter resentment it has
incurred. The evils of distribution
are caused by special privileges and
the protective tariff protects and li-
[ censes privilege, it would not inter-
est the men described in the 'Pitts-
burg survey' who are worked to death
and thrown on the Junk pile, to ascer-
tain how many wives per annum a
Pittsburg millionaire could afford out

Rather would he be interested in sup-
I porting one wife and some few chil-
, aren with less work and more pay.
| "The people are not satisfied with
statistics of national wealth. They
want better conditions for them-
j Eelves."
Congressman Kent said that for the
present we must look to the tariff for
revenue, but that "eventually we shall
provide the government funds from
the income tax, from heavy taxation
of community land steals and from
rentals of the public domain. W'e
shall have internal revenue taxation
on articles not necessities."
Ix>s Angeles, May i._it developed
here that District Attorney John D.
J-redericks expects that Mrs Oitie E
McManigal, will be the pivotal wit-'
"ess in the case against J. J Mc-
Namara, who is charged with being
the central figure in a plot for the
wholesale destruction of lives and
Property throughout the country
llfspite the fact that McManigal has
made a confession implicating J. J.
McXamara, it is admitted that the
charge will not be proved without the
teseimony of Mrs. McManigal.
The prosecution will attempt to
show that while McManigal was con-
fined in Chicago at the home of
Sergeant Reed. Mrs. McManigal visit- j
,; , McXamara in Indianapolis and
told him that her husband was in diffi- I
culty and under arrest. According 1
to the detectives employed by the
prosecution McXamara gave Mrs. Me- !
Ma in gal $50 at that time and told her 1
to inform McManigal "that he should I
keep his nerve and say nothing and 1
that everything would come out all j
right."
This testimony and the statements I
of Detective W. J. Burns constitute 1
the most important evidence against
J- J. MeNamara. Burns has prepared
to ship the clocks and the explosive
he claims to have fround at Mc-
Xamara's office in Indianapolis to Los
Angeles.
When they arrive an expert will be
employed to examine them and make
a comparison with the infernal ma-
chine which was found on the morn-

of 1 ten, 2 sets of 3 units, and I

I to use one notch to represent three

are thus used, than If the five were
, conceived as consisting of five single
units. While It seems a simple mat-
ter to make the numbers up to the
best advantage, yet It not Infrequent-

one ought to take a sheet of paper
and make a drawing of each number

makes any notches. Then if as he

No word In agricultural etymology
Is so often encountered as protein.
To a person not versed In farm
chemistry the term is more or less
confusing and to many others it has
no meaning at all. To such people It
Is Just an empty, technical phrase
The word Is most frequently en-
countered in articles on feeding.
Protein Is the opposite of fat. It Is
about the same as albumen.
In feeding we have two principal
classes of foods. One is the carbon-
aceous or starchy foods. These go to
fat. The other is the protein foods, i
These go to make milk, eggs and J
meat. The protein foods are tissue 1
builders.
In balancing rations we have to
see, therefore, that the animal does
not get too much of one kind of food.
In feeding a cow, for Instance, we
cannot feed her corn alone as this
goes to fat rather than to milk. There
Is some protein In corn but not
enough. On the other hand it would
( not be advisable to feed a cow food
like alfalfa, whose content is practjc- i
ally all protein. To begin with fat is j
the principle on which an animal de-
pends for bodily heat and energy. So 1
a cow, for this reason alone, should
have corn or other grain or hay In
which there is starchy matter. Then,
too, she needs some carbonaceous
food for the milk as there is con-
siderable fat and sugar in milk.
If, however, we feed too much
protein some of It Is bound to go to
waste. 8he will use half of It for
maintenance. One quarter of It goes
to milk. From the other quarter her
digestive organs extract the fatty
principle if there Is any; If not some
Is held by the system In reserve; the
rest passes out of the system.
Of course, ln feeding, we have to be
guided some by temperament, in-
dividuality, and other conditions in-
cluding metabolism. Metabolism is
I the way the food Is assimilated, or
| rather, it refers to the chemical
changes that the food undergoes in
the stomach. We can't say here is so
much corn and depend that it will
make just so much fat or feed so
much protein with the idea that It
will be converted into an equivalent
amount of milk. Some of the fat-
making elements may combine with
still other elements and be converted
into meat while the protein may be
converted partly into fat. These
changes, however, occur only when
there is such a serious lack of balance
in the food, that the well-being of the
animal is interferred with. In such a
ease Nature steps in and makes a
Herculean effort to correct the mis-
take in part. She can't make a com
plete balance but she can save
animal.
But when we want to put on
we feed corn or something that car-
ries the same elements. When we
want to put on solid flesh we feed
skimmllk, Iegumous grasses like al-
falfa or clover and by-products like
bran.

A WIDOW'S LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In-
juring Her.
A woman tells how coffee kept her
from Insuring her life:
I suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although Incapacitated
at times for my housework, I did not
realize the gravity of my condition till
was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician eaid.
my heart was so bad he could not pass
me.
"This distressed me very much, as
I was a widow and had a child de-
pendent upon me. It was to protect
her future that I wanted to insure
my life.
"Fortunately for me, I happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from a man who had been
affected in the same way that I was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
fited by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. I grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
"My health began to improve imme-
diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, I gained lu flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of all. my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all tie
distressing symptoms passed away No
more waking up In the night with my
heart trying to fly out of my mouth'
"Then I again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble ln
passing the medical examination.
"It was seven years ago that I be-
gan to use Postum and I am using it
still, and shall continue to do so as I
find it a guarantee of good health."
