I think that every fourth centenial. begining with 400 is a leap year, and that every fourth centenial', begining with 100, is a common year. Now, iTC this is so, why so. SW was a leap year, and if every fourth year is a leap year, 1000 is also. I would like to hear this mat ter explained by someone who is more able than myself.

T. V. (Non-Sectarian, Non-Partisan.) The Army Canteen Question. If It can be shown that partyism In municipal affairs does not serve the best interests of the people, why will not the game thing be true of state and nation? Municipal rule in tlrls counrty has come to a pass where almost any charge can be brought against it truth fully. Some feel the degree of concern over this that any patriot, ia the best sense of the word), should, while oth ers are totally Indifferent." But would not be a shock to the average citizen he became suddenly convinced that Fort Scott and other cities, are only miniature reproductions of our nation anairs? Would not a shudder at the thought .1..

nntnl.ll!n flnuV, over even the most indifferent? Who shall say how far from fact such fancy may be. The average citizen finds it difficult to keep his own ringer on the intrica cies of his own little city affairs, and to swear to the integrity of men whom he knows face to face. How then can he keep up with all the possibilities that center in our nations' capital. Well, the easy method that seems to satisfy most men as to the real state of every Washington affair, is to believe religiously that every charge made against an official in "our" party is a political lie, and that all that Is charged against the "other fellows" is true. Here you have the simplest method of beine absolutely correct about every subject.

Enthusiasm for men and parties does harm to the extent that it blinds us to nlain truths. Don't let the fact then that your party "whooped" loud and lontj for some man as a national figure cause you to idealize him into a fault- less demi-eod. for vou may find him made of the same clay that all humans. including municipal officials, are made of and certainly ten times as tempted One factor that has come to be about the first consulted in municipal mat ters is the liquor element. Everybody knows this is so and everybody knows why it is so.

Many do not understand that the same conditions prevail to an extent in national affairs. The partnership between government and sa loon is more close than many know But if you will stop and consider that one brewery alone (Pabst) has already paid this government enough to pay th salary of every president from Wash ingtdn down and 650,000 a year for fifty years more to come, you will see what a wrench it will take to dissolv that partnership. The liquor business is either taxed unjustly or it is too mean to exist and be taxed at all. We all know what happens whe the saloon holds the balance of pow over a municipality. They demand the annihilation of any and all laws or conditions that stand in the way of their interests, be it Sabbath observ ance or what not.

In one state it may be one law, in another state some oth er, Dut always anu every wnei-o is the law breaker and disturber. Now is it reasonable to suppose tha they will tolerate national legislation against them if they can defeat, du officials or evade in any manner Not much The late canteen question furnishes ample evidence of their intentions and their methods. To give the matter i detail is impossible in this space, bu we will glance at the main events, as taken from various authorities. The better class of people, all over the country, irrespective of creed or section, were startled and shocked during the Spanish-American war by the deaply and demoralizing effects of intoxicating liquors sold in the army canteen, and that our soldier boys who had gone forth to fight their country's battles were being stricken by hundreds and thousands in camp before leavlng'our home shores. A universal cry of protest went up from the people, and petitions and letters, telegrams and memorials poured in upon the congress of the United States and the president, urging them to take such action as would prevent these evils.

The solemn statement from officers of the navy and the army, from the highest to the most subordinate positions, of the disastrous consequences of the sale of intoxicating liquors in these branches of the government's service, were not wanting, and were throughly corroborated by statements of the highest credibility, carefully made from personal observation. These facts and the pressure were so strong and incontrovertible that congress by, an almost unanimous vote, passed an act, and the President considered its validity and approved it with his own signature. There was no conHict among the members of congress, composed large ly of lawyers occupying distinguished positions in their profession and men of high culture from other vocations In life in that body, that this law was in tended to mean, and did mean to for bid the sail of intoxicating liquors in the army. A universal shout of approval went up from all over the land, at this act of congress, and thanksgiving was In an Yrii mav have Koarrl about SCOTT'S EMULSION and have a vague notion I that it is cod liver oil with its bad taste and smell and all its other repulsive fea- tures. It is cod-liver oil, the world, but made so palatable that almost everybody can taKc it.

Nearly all children like it and ask for more. SCOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream; it nour ishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult, better than cream or any 1 other food in existence. It bears about the same rela tion to other emulsions that cream does to milk. If you have had any experience i with other so-called "just as 1 good preparations, you will find that this is a fact. The hypophosphites that are' combined with the cod-liver oil give additional value to it because they tone up the nervous system and impart strength to the whole body.
