COTTON LEAK CASE AGAIN. Kim, Price and Peckham Must Go to Washington. Washington. Feb. 21.?Indicted In connection with the "cotton leak ?can del," of the department of agricul? ture, which occurred in 1905. Moses Haas. Theodore H. Price and Freder? ick A. Peekh~m, who ^ave been fight? ing against their extradition from Flew Tork. muet come to Washing? ton for trial, according to a decision tendered to-day by the Supreme Court of the United Statee. Where Indictment* were made In two Juris dictions, as in this case, the Court held that the Government may elect where the accused shall be tried. The ap? peal, of tho Supreme Court was from the refuse: of the Circuit Court of the Ualted States for the southern Jurisdiction of Nsw Tork to releese the men from the custody of the United States marshal. The New British Parliament. In accordance with the decree or d>nng the dissolution of the old Par Moment and the election of a new one, Issued by the Klog on January 10th. the new Urltlsh Parliament met last Tonsilsy. The choice of the sixteen elected members of the House of Lord? from Scotland was made on January 2 nth The election of the Timbers of the House of Commons extended ovctr a little more than two weeks, beginning with Jinvvry 16th The issues on which the Liberal government made an appeal to the oountry Included Indorsement of the budget, which the Lords refused to pass until the voters had approve 1 It; restriction of the power of the House of Lords to defeat the will of the House of Commons, and the grant? ing of home rule to Ireland. The Unionists, whlls admitting t' e ex? pediency of a reform of the House of Lords, objected to the surrender of the right of that body to defeat legis? lation which it Is convinced the country does not desire. They also oblect to home rule for Ireland and to the extension of socialism: and they affirmatively demand the pass? age of a tariff law that will permit tl e mother country to give trade pre? ference to the colonies, and to make trade bargains with competing nations. The result of the voting Is far from e)ecleive on the great issues involved. Liberals tn conjunction with the Irish Nationalists uid the Laborltes, ha*-e a large majority in the Com tmmW ::.??: but ths Unionists--that is, the old Conservative or Tory party, and the lio?i*l Unionists, who have Worked together since 1886?have al? most exactly as many members as the Liberale standing alone. The Irish end the Laborltes consequently hold the balance of the power. Mr. Asqulth announced, during the electoral campaign, that the first business of ths new Parliament will he the reform of tht House of Lords. It Is useless, hs says, for the Com? mons to peas bilks demanded by the people and then have them rejeeted ,by the Lords. His plan of reform will be ewaited with Intereet. No reform of the Lords can be brought about without ths cornier t of the Lords themselves, as no bill can become a law without the approval of both Houses of Parliament. It la clear that there * uat be compromlae If a serious deadlock between the two Houses Is to be avoided. _ ?While it Is often Impossible to prsvsnt an accident.

TIME FOR INTERFERENCE Scare Dispatch From Omaha Starts a Roar Throughout Country. Boston Herald. An Omaha dispatch reports orders sent from the packing headquarters to cattle growers and live stock men throughout the West to defer ship? ments until further notice. Ship? ments of cattle and meat to foreign markets are being Increased. Meanwhile, distributing agents of the packers' combination are advised to get what they can for stock on hand, and are given assurances that prices will be higher. This Is a re? sult of the boycott. What can the consumer do about it? Can he starve the meat packers Into surrender and keep them In submission? And it he oan, why should he be obliged to starve himself In order to obtain a square deal. When an individual Interest or as? sociation of interests secures tmch control of food supply and its mar? ket that It can control the situation at will, regulating supply to suit Its own purpose, It Is time that the peo? ple, through the government and Its laws should Interfere and exercise its right to protcet the people from pos? sible abuse of that power. It Is an inherent right of the people, and it Is time that it should be exercised. GOOD ROADS BONDS.

"Your old-fashioned American business man is too naively honest," said Upton Sinclair In an address In New York, according to the Times, "to fight these trusts." "In his naive and noble honesty he compares with these abominable trusts as the Maori compares with his British conquerer. "A certain Britisher was talking to a Moarl chief who had been taken prisoner after a fierce engagement. " 'But, chler,' said the Britisher, 'you had command of the Walkato read last week. Why didn't you go f< r our ammunition and provision trains?" "The chief gave a loud, scornful laugh. " 'You fool,' he cried, "If we had stolen your powder and food how cculd you have fought us?" ?An attack of the grip Is often fol? lowed by a persistent cough, which to many proves a great annoyance.

Senator Has Recovered His Tower of Speech. Washington. Feb. 20.?Favorable Indications showed themselves today In the condition of Senator Tillman. The Initial symptoms which caused his partial paralysis and loss of speech have abated, and improve? ment has commenced, according to a bulletin issued late this afternoon by the three attending physicians. To-day he recognized and called by name one of the physicians, a man whom he had seen but once before. Until today the Senator had spoken but two words since he was stricken last Thursday, but to-day when the family physician entered, his face brightened as he recognized him, and he said: , "Hello, doctor." A little later the physician whom he had seen but once said to the Senator, "i don't suppose you rem? ember me?" "Yes, I do," replied Mr. Tillman, "you are Dr. White." * The physicians consider this re? turn of speech most favorable, and they entertain no doubt now as to the patient's full recovery of his speech. The Senator passed a com? fortable night, and awakened this morning soon after the physicians arrived. Following is the bulletin issued by the attending physicians. "The Senator's condition is as favorable as could be expected. The Initial symptoms have abated and improvement has commenced. The disturbance of speech is less marked, pulse 72, temperature normal, and he Is resting comfortably. There are no Indications as to the probability of unfavorable developments at this time. BRITISH MINISTRY COMPLETED. Asqultli Fills Vacancies, Naming Four Ministers. London, Feb. 20.?Premier As has filled the vacancies in the min? istry which is an indication that he at least expects the Government to pass safely through the crisis. The new ministers are: William Wedgwood Benn and Ernest Joseph Soares, Junior lords of the treasury; Edwin Samuel Montague, under secretary for India; and Cecil William Norton, assistant Postmaster General. Mr. Norton succeeds Sir Henry Norman, who failed for election. This completes the ministry. In the case of the Junior lord bye-elect? ions are necessary, but as both had good majorities last month, there Is little danger of their losing their seats. The King's speech, it Is believed, beyond the usual references to for? eign affairs, will be devoted to ques? tions of finance and the relations between the two houses. The sup? remacy of the House of Commons on financial matters will be asserted firmly, but the Government's plan for limiting the Lord's power of veto will not be disclosed until the pre? mier addresses the House on the ad? dress In reply to the King's speech. Finance practically is certain to take precedence over all other busi? ness in the House. Mr. Asqulth has remained firm on thi* point, and the Liberals are convinced that the min? isters will be able during the course of the debate on the address to make out a case satisfactory to both the Labor and the Irish mem? bers. i Parliament will be formally open? ed at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon by the King. The formalities will take up an hour, and as Premier As? qulth is expected to speak early in the debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne, the members will not have long to wait for the Government's announcement of its intention. The pronouncement on Irish affairs with which the pre? mier hopos to retain the support of the Nationalists. Is awaited with the greatest curiosity. Wuntcd Medicine. "That late Frederick Remington," said a Philadelphia artist, according to the Record, "had a humorous way of illustrating his arguments with lnclddents from real life. "He was arguing once on prohibi? tion. He described a trip he had once made In the prohlbtlon State of North Dakota. He told how he rode through Degroat. Maza, Benzion Iola and other towns in the Devil's I^tke. neighborhood, putting up for the week-end at Mlnnewaukan. "As Remington was buying a cigar at the Mlnnewaukan drug store Sat? urday night a cowboy entered. He wore, a red shirt and bearskin leg? gings, and he carried a two-gallon demijohn, " 'Jack.' be said to the drug clerk. With a loud laugh, as he swung the enormous demijohn on the counter 'Jack, mi her up. Baby's sick.1 " Another Witness in the Pennsyl? vania oapltol soandal is dead.

New York, Feb. 22.?"Typhlod Mary," whose real name is withheld at the request of the New York health authorities, is a free woman again today, after being confined in city hospitals off and on for three years, because physicians said ?.he was a Irving receptacle for typhoid germs and a menace to public health. "Mary" is a cook, and is considered particularly dangerous In that capa? city as likely to transmit disease, but, with the understanding that she is to cook no more, Health Commissioner Lederle announced today that the department has decided to re'ease her. The case is unique in medical re? cords. After repeated cases of ty? phoid were discovered in families for whom the woman had cooked, the authorities made an investigation, which resulted In her detention on the theory that she was a walking reservoir for typhoid germs, harmless to herself but easily communicated to others. How To Live Longer. America is waking up to the im? portance of better health conditions, and state and national governments are taking deeper interest In the sub ject than ever before. Regardless of what state or nation may do, however every individual by following a few simple rules of hygiene for himself may greatly increase the length and happiness of his own life. 1. Have a properly planned and properly cooked diet. Make a study of this question and have your wife make a study of it. We eat too much meat and too much hot, pastry food. We do not eat enough vegetables, eggs, fruits, butter and milk. There is no excuse for any farmer not having enough of these nourishing, health giving food, and with them he can set a table fit for a king. 2. Chew your food three times as long as you have been doing. The Fletcher principle, "Chew your food until it becomes liquid and practically swallows Itself," is the only correct guide. Mr. Fletcher guarantees that his method will increase the average workingman's efficiency twenty-five per cent, in six months. 3. Don't overeat. Proper chewing however, will practically prevent this also. Chew your food thoroughly and your sense of taste will be satisfied before you eat too much. It Is when you bolt your food down that you overeat. 4. Breathe only fresh air. Let it into your sleeping room, no matter how cold the weather. The dread of "night air" is absurd. If fresh air were only to be had for a price, thous? ands of poor people- would be beg? ging money to buy it, while as It is I they shut It out on every provocation. Stuffy parlors and sitting rooms and sleeping rooms with all the windows down breed headaches and develop consumption. 5. Drink twice as much water as you have been drinking. The aver? age person drinks only half enough. Drink tw0 glasses when you get up mornings, and as much as you can at other times?preferably not at meals or for an hour before or after. 6. Stop dosing and drugging your? self; never take a patent medicine. If you are not well, by all means avoid putting your health and your life in the hands of men you knov nothing about, and who know nothing about your ailment. Nine times out of ten a drug taken Into your system when not needed acts as a virtual poison, and unless the physician knows the exact nature of your ailment, the chances are it is not needed. 7. Let all Intoxicants alone. No man who begins drinking is sure that he can keep from drinking immoder? ately; while the latest medical re? searches have proved that even the most moderate drinking injuries one's nerves and mental powers, lessen one's ability to resist disease or weakness. Surgeon General Wymann, in hisi recent address on southern health conditions, sounded a special note of warning concerning the inju? rious effects of alcoholic drinks in warm climates. I Of course there are other things not to be neglected?frequnt bathing I in a room as warm as the body, eight hours' sleep, and a good supply of drinking water uncontaminated by filth or disease?but these seven rules are the things most needed by the average man. They will add years to your life and life to your years.? Selected. Furthermore, how can woman ox peet to rise in the political scale as long as she sits on the tloor to put on her shoes?
