These are but a few prescriptions chosen at random, but they suffice to demonstrate the magical possibilities of eguminotherapy. No longer, therefore, is the whole truth comprehended in the dictum of King Solomon, that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

It must now share its place with the modern creed, that as a man eateth, so is he. It is not wholly a new belief, however, for those worthy apostles of the no-meat diet who have been pounding at the doors of our intelligence from as far back as we can remember have all along maintained that the eating of fltish makes us like unto the very animals upon which we feod. Perhaps it is. It certainly looks as if it ought to be. Yet, like the inquisitive Willie who was informed of this truth and wondered therefore why the eating or missionaries did not make Christians of cannilals, we too must be forgiven for holding some child-like doubts upon the subject.

Counsel Contends Charges Imposed on Railroads Not Confiscatory. 1 revenues decreased only 1 per ceat and tbat the master's report failed to take into account the tendency greatly to increase business as a reauit, of the imposition of lower freight and passenger rates. Jn reviewing findings by the master. Judge 'Hrlen went, into the subject of land values and expenditures for improvements, including bridges and other property and the terminal valuation in the cities. With respect to the bridges, he called attention to three bridges used by the railroads in Minneapolis which he said were built entirely by the city and represented no part of expenditure bv the roads.

Summarising this part of his argument, Judge O'Brien said that the items ot construction in the master's report "presented a valuation that is appalling to sense of justice" on account of false Proper Valuation Discussed. Considerable attention wai given by Judge O'Brien to the valuation placed upon the properties of these railroads under the idea of reproduction cost. Mr. O'Brien attacked these statements as being unwarranted and he said that the estimated reproduction cost and the seven per cent interest payment, alleged to be justified upon such reproduction cost, ignored the exact facts as to the values of the roads and the revenues which the stockholders there in should receive. As to the Northern Pacific, it was declared that there were no facts shown to warrant the claim of confiscation and no evidence that the WHY JENNIE WAITED iltow tool, ttlnbe PHvint.

TRIBUNE NEWS BUREAU Metropolian Bank Washington, D. C. Washington, April 10. (Specials-Judge Thomas O'Brien, counsel for the state of Minnesota, gave the opening argument in the first clay's hearing of the Minnesota rate case before the supreme court of the United States yesterday. The case is an appeal to the hieh tribunal.

Judge O'Brien's argument was followed by that of. Edward T. Younst, and Reliability feature has been uppermost in the conduct of its business.

The thousand and odd delegates were still discussing last night the unanswered question ef whether it would be expedient to instruct the delegation to the national convention for Taft, but it was generally believed some satisfactory solution would be reached before the convention meets today. Mr. Barnes and other leaders who oppose instructions declared last night that they would not recede from their position and stated that if the matter was taken before the convention they had a majority of the votes to support their position.

Senator Root and Chairman Koenig of New York county together with Chairman Griener of Krie county, were strong in their opinion, however, that the delegates would be instructed. Vm til the platform was completed, it. was "decided to" suspend -further eonsldera-tivi. ef the selection of delegates and their instruction. With the completion of tfce platform and the naming of the delegate at largo it was planned last night to nora a four hour session today.

Mr. Butler will be made permanent chairman of the convention. Reindeer In Alaska. (From th Christian Herald. I It is only a few years since the United States government, as an experiment which it was hoped would help the 'Eskimos and Indians of northern Alaska, imported a few score reindeer from Norway, with a number of Lapps skilled In their care.

Subsequently other reindeer were brought from the 'opposite coast of Asia, and although it was known that the particular form of moos or lichen on which these animals live, and which flourishes under the snow, was abundant within the American Arctic circle, the attempt to introduce reindeer was regarded by a majority of our citizens as being quite as wild and visionary as Was the purchase of Alaska bv Secretary Seward in The few More reindeer have gjown to 27,025, distributed in 42 herds. More, than one-half or 14,993, are owned by natives who, before the advent of the reindeer, were in a state of the most wretched poverty. Of the remainder, 3,730 are owned by the United States, 4.194 by missions, and 4,407 by Lapps. At this season and it's one of decided interest for housefur-niBhers we are particularly well prepared in our ehowing of all grades of Furniture Goodness. Stocks and departments were never better balanced and the purchasing of the buying public was never more keenly shown than by the increasing trade we are enjoying, developing as it is in all directions, among all classes.

We know there is an exposition of Furniture "Worthiness here you'll be very glad of having an opportunity to see, and we certainly extend you the courtesy of the entire concern whenever you may call. for the allegation that tne rates imposed would be confiscatory. At the close of Judge O'Brien's argument, Attorney Edward T. Young supplemented the arguments submitted by his associate counsel in showing that the rates imposed bv the state weTo not confiscatory. Today Attorney Young will review the legal propositions Involved in the question.

It is now apparent from the manner is which these eases have come before the supreme court that in these suite brought on behalf ef the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, and the Minneapolis and St. Paul railroads, involving merchandise class rates and the two cent passenger rates as put into effect tinder the laws of the state, and the orders of the railway commission of Minnesota, there is involved practically every issue that touches the question of rates fixed by a state which ma', or may not be confiscatory, under the provisions of the federal constitution.

i hroughout the argument by Judge 0 Brien on behalf of the state, there was much interest displayed, notably by Chief Justice White and Justice's Holmes, Hughes, Van De venter and Pitney, to ascertain the precise facts in the contention made on the one hand bv the railroads regarding the alleged confiscatory character of the rates imposed, and the denial of such couflsea-lion by the attorneys representing the the interstate commerce law and an infringement upon the right of congress, through the interstate commerce act, to control rates as a part of the business Of interstate railroads THE ABBET.
