LINCOLN, Neb., Juno 13. (Special.)
Members of the Master Bakers assocla,
tlon of Omaha arc sending out letters
to bakers over the state In an effort, to
got support to fight the order of Food
Commissioner Harman, requiring that all
bread should bo wrapped for delivery.
This action Is taken because of the
prosecution of B. F. Peterson of the
United States Steam Bakery of Omaha
for failure to obey the order of the com
missioner and a committee has been ap
pointed by Omaha bakers of which, J. J.
Markey Is the chairman and 50 sub
scribed to fight the case on an appeal.
In his letter to the bakers of the state
Mr. Markey says, In part:
The Issue seems to resolve Itself finally
Into a proposition of whether we can
run our own business In the best way
possible and suit ourselves or whether
we have to submit to tho fads and fan
cies of politicians, who know absolutely
nothing about tho conditions surround
ing our trade with the alternative of be
ing put out of business.
Ilnrmnn Simula l'nl.
Speaking of tho matter, Commissioner
Harman said this morning:
"As long as 1 am food commissioner 1
propose to use every effort to have the
food supply pf tho producers handled in
a sanitary manner and no baker who
has tho best Interests of his customers at
heart will send out bread unwrapped to
be handled by hands that are not al
ways clean. 1 have the backing of a
large percent of the bakers of the state,
who are with me In my efforts to en
force sanitary conditions, and I propose
to sea that the order la enforced and I
think the consumers will back me up."

GO SLOW WITH HEALTH FADS
Ontdnor Sleeping, nnd Cold Flanges
Ari- Not Rood for All
Clnnsen,
We are somewhat In a time of reaction
when we question the cure-alls both phy
sical and moral that deluged us through
recent years. We have apparently ar
rived at the stage, which Is Inevitable
with the progress of wisdom, of realiz
ing that what may bo good for some
people under some circumstances is not
necessarily good for all people always.
One physician Is pointing out that the
cold plunge, which has been token for a
panacea, Is a harmful thing to some con
stitutions. Another now questions the
universal helpfulness of open air sleep
ing. The "sleeping porch" has become
an object of scrutiny since results In
many cases seemed to carry tho conclu
sion that It was tho place where the foun
tain of youth was always to be found.
Its great benefits have proved to be be
yond question, but the difference between
this and the certainty of a remedy for
everybody has come to light In medical
discussion and the Idea that at one time
prevailed that It would become universal
and all mankind be found gathering
strength from the wall-less chamber Is
modified by the suggestion carried In the
old phrase "what Is one man's meat Is
another's poison."
A Seattle physician tells the "New York
Medical Journal that outdoor sleeping,
unless It is sonslbly planned, h.as serious
objections. Curiously enough he likens it
to the "cold plunge," which is similarly
questioned. He calls It a fine thing If you
get benefit from It. If you do not It is a
severe strain on the whole system. The
chief criticism that he makes Is that the
sleeper Is not sufficiently protected
against severe weather and dampness.
The result Is a chill and shock to the
nervous system, which In the case of
anaemio affliction, he says, may seriously
reduce the bodily resistance to disease.
It Is already accepted that In certain
bronchial and larnygeal afflictions open
air sleeping, particularly In damp
weather, has to be Indulged In sparingly
and with modifications, or it may mean an
aggravation of conditions. The chief sug
gestion made by this physician Is a proper
roof, a glassed-in Inclosure, and proper
method of warming the bed before enter
ing It. One method Is to keep the bed In
a warm room during the .day and wheel
It to ths open air chamber at night. The
moral of the whole suggestion is that
those that sleep outdoors should be able
to do so comfortably. At the bottom lies
the general criticism that as a people
with our quick Interchange of thought
and Independence of thinking we are liable
to rush to a universal adoption of things
which, while they may be excellent for
some are deleterious to others, seeming
to forget that Individual canes are differ
ent and that the proposed remedy must
fit the case, and not the case be made to
fit It Indianapolis News.

PEARL FISHERIES IN MEXICO
Industry on Paolflo Side Owned by
Americans, Worked by
Mexicans.
That part of Mexico which lies be'
tween the Quit of California and the
Pacific Baja California, Is highly inter
esting 'and little known. La Paz, on the
ooean side, la the chief pearl fishing
center of the Pacific coast of America,
ranking third on the globe, with $2,000,000
as the value of the annual export.
The population Is principally Mexican,
bnt there are soldiers of fortune and
men of great commercial Interests from
many countries. The mollusks found
here are not to be eaten, and they are
never seen in beds, like the edible oyster,
but must be sought singly by divers.
The shells are often fifteen Inches across,
and these produce mother-of-pearl.
As an occupation, pearl fishing is Blow
suicide, but nearly all of the 6,000 In
habitants of La Par are engaged in it.
for there Is little else to do. One Amr
lean company alone employs more than
$00 men and six schooners.
Wearing diving suits, the fishermen
can remain fathoms deep in the sea for
more than an hour, but the life of a
diver, here as elsewhere. Is short. Deaf
ness Is the earliest sign of the wear and
tear, then nervous prostration, and in
less than five years most of the men who
hazard their lives securing pearls are
mere wrecks of men, sitting helpless
along the shore. The only labor open to
them Is that of hunting the pearls In the
suspected shells. This work is carried
on in long, open sheds near the water's
edge, under the eyes of a watchful in
.spec tor. A peculiar kind of parasite
which borea its way through the shell
of the big oyster creates the finest Jewel
'The price of a good Mexican pearl
ranges from 1100 to $1,000. Some of the
most beautiful ever produced were sent
from La Paz to Madrid by the Spanish
conquerors In the early days of Baja Cal
ifornia. It Is said that most of the pearls
possessed by the Kuropean dynasties to
day came from the little coast town of
La Paz. Fabulous sums have been re
ceived for rarely tinted pearls taken
from the waters of the Pacific in this
vicinity, Paris finally possessing most of
them. Washington Star.

LINCOLN. June 11 (SpedoU-The
dcmocratla Idea of harmony was fully
demonstrated today In tho flth weo'cly
gathering of Lancaster county unterrlflcd
In tho "harmony luncheon" at the Un
dell hotel. Kulogtes of William J. Bryan
and denunciation of those who have tho
audacity to be against him were iho
feature of the occasion, while an allusion
to him as a "dead tree," by a man who
was trying to defend tho Commoner,
brought out many smiles.
"Democracy has too many false lead
ers, too many woodpeckers traveling)
around the state pecking at dead trees,"
said Cecil Mathows. editor of the ltlevr
ton Review, who waa the principal
speaker at the luncheon, and he looktd
straight at Colonel John Q. Mahcr, when
he said it. He said ho was glad that
the days when democracy was a re
proach on manhood had passed. Ho then
made a thrust at Colonel Maher, demo
cratic candidate for tho nomination for
govornor, who this week spoke In
Mathews' own county by saying, "If a
man would come out In my county and
traduce William J. Bryan they would
duck him in a horse trough."
Colonel Una n Word.
'I spoke to 6,000 people Just tho same,"
shouted ths colonel.
Not noticing the remarks of the colonel,
Mr. Mathows said that the opponents
of Mr. Bryan reminded him very much
of the story of tho mouse, who found
whore an old farmer had spilled somo
whiskey on tho barn floor, when ho toolt
his usual noon hour nip. At first 'ho
mouse only sniffed at tho whiskey, but
about tho fourth day ho took courage and
got a good tasto of tho stuff. Then Jump
ing onto a box he dared all tho darn
cats on the farm to como on. Ho likened
the fellows, who were fighting Bryan to
tho mouse.
Henry Richmond of Omaha took occa
sion to call George W. Berge. another
democratic candidate for tho nomination
for governor, for' trying to manufacture
glory for himself by advocating cutting
down expenditures of the legislature.
Berge Tlehlnd Times.
He said that Berge was entirely behind
the times for the legislature itself at the
last session had taken steps to cut ex
penditures and had reported through a
special committee a report for the bene
fit of the next session which would prob
ably be adopted and that Berge Instead
of being Tesponslble for the agitation was,
nothing more or less than trying to make
thunder out of tho work of the legislative
committee for his own personal advance
ment In his campaign for governor.
Mr. Richmond wanted It understood
that at a previous address he had not
referred to the members of the legislat
ure 'as "mutton heads," as reported, but
that tho members were men who would
stack up well In public life with the men
In any other public Institution.
At the rate Lancaster democracy Is
harmonizing before primaries roll arofttid
these meetings are liable to be as quint
as a Kilkenny cat affair.

Why People Slake lertnlii Mistaken
While llaliig n Typewriter.
What Is your favorite mistake on a
typewriter? Nearly every ono who has
used a machine for somo tlmo finds that
he or sho makes a mistake on some ono
word or number of words and that tho
mistake generally Is made In the same
way. For Instance, "hto" Is ono of the
commonest mistakes for the "oht" Is
somewhat more rare; "ahvo" for have.
"hwat" for what, ami similar transposi
tions of tho first letter arc common.
Somo stenographers make their mistakes
on tho second and third letters, "tkno
for take, "grll" for girl, ami similar ones
aro of this type.
Often tho mlstakes'tonslst of chnnglnc;
tho position of tho vowels In a vord.
Ono may bo In the habit of making some
of tho following mistakes: "I.uxuruoila"
for luxurious, "ncolsscty" for necessity,
"customes" for costumes. Other mistakes
nro more rare, but oven harder to ex
plain. A number of users of tho type
writer clnlm that thoy spoil Idiot "cdlot"
or "cdclot;" humoMr when using tho
Kngllsh spelling "houmur." "Kygpt" for
Kgypt, and "csllo" for nlslr.
No one of these mistakes Is a caso of
misspelling. Of course, mostvpf us have
words that we are prono to misspell (sic),
but these aro words that wo know nro
wrong and generally realize their Incor
rectness Immediately still next time the
same mlstako Is made.
A common mlstako la to spell bosit
"boos," sweet, "swett," or llttlo "iltlc."
When doubling tho letters tho wrong
ones aro doubled. Oftentimes wo find
that wo can speed up on most of tho
words that we uso. but that on these
botes nolrs wo hesitate, and hesitating
aro lost. Even when we stop to think
wo make the mlstako that wo had de
termined we would riot make.
The medical men explain tho cause of
theso lapses In various ways. Ono doc
tor declares that tho stenographer's fin
gers are not firmly controlled by the
brain, She has tho word In her brain
and tho stimulus Is sent along the nerves
to tho finger muscles, but, owing to tho
loose control of tho brain, thoy become
n Ixcd.
Another physician thinks that the caus
Is due to tho stimulus being delayed on
one or other of tho nerve routes to the
fingers, the stimulus for one letter being
faster than for tho other. It will bo no

A. Eden-Sherrard, purser of tho Royal
Mall Steam Packet Caribbean, which ar
rived In New York from Bermuda, with
ISO cabin passengers, told a story of trou
ble that was caused In the military bar
racks at Hamilton by the wrong transla
tion of a code catfle.
"We had Mrs. E. Skinner going down
with us," he said. "She was on her vuy
from Gibraltar to join her husband. Cap
tain Edward Skinner, of the Lincolnshire
regiment, quartered on the Island, doing
garrison duty. Before leaving New York
on Saturday oho asked some friends, who
had a business connection In Bermuda,
to cable and Inform her husband that
she had sailed,
"The cable sent In code meant, 'Tell
Skinner wife on board,' but It was trans
lated at Hamilton as 'Tell Skinner wife
buried ashore.
"When the message reached the bar
rack at Prospect, near Hamilton, the
captain collapsed at the unexpected news,
and received the condolences of General
Sir Frederick Bullock, the governor of
Bermuda; Lady ihillock, and his brother
officers In the regiment
"The Caribbean arrived on Monday
morning- at Hamilton. 'Captain Skinner
went off In the tender to meet the ihlp
to get further particulars. He waa in
uniform and wore deep crepe around his
left arm.
"As the tender went alongside the. of
ficers of the Caribbean noticed the cap
tain, who was deathly pale, walking tip
and down the deck In an agitated man
ner and eo much preoccupied that he
did not look up and see his wife, who was
waving to him from the upper decks,
until she called him by name,
The sound of her voice staggered
the captain so that he reeled back for a
second, and then, realizing there had
been a mistake, he rushed up the ac
commodation ladder to the deck and
clasped his wife in his arms. She be
came very much distressed when her
husband told her what had happened."

SOME NEW WESTERN FARMS
Twenty-six Thousand Knrms In Irri
gation Avntlnble for
Cultivation.
Pioneer work In 1914 Is different from
that of fifty years ago, or earlier. Then
strong courage and tireless hands were
needed,; capital was not absolutely neces
sary. Now courago and strength und
capital aro needed, the last not tho least.
Twenty-flvo western Irrigation .districts
are ready to be opened to publlo entry.
This means that 26,000 farms await culti
vation In an area once arid, but now made
fertile by the application of water di
verted at national expense. Tho farms
vary from five to 100 acres each. Four
hundred and fifty units of forty to eighty
acres .each are now open to entry. Thus
reports the statistician of the reclamation
service at Washington, D. C. Inquiries
should be directed to him.
The "western ((lea" has not entirely de
parted from the eastern and central
farmer. Ha perhaps still has a longing
to go west. If he has, here is his oppor
tunity; but before ho sells tho old plaoo
and packs up his goods for the long jour
ney he ought to count the cost. This Is
government advice. Nothing can be dono
out west now or anywhere for that mat
terwithout capital. The farms open to
ontry are located as follows: Idaho,
Minidoka project, fifty-eight; Montana,
Huntley project, forty-two; lower Ycllow-
stono project, eighteen; Sun river project.
forty-five; Nebraska, North Platte pro
ject, twcnty-threo; South Dakota, Bollo
Fourche project, sixty-five; Wyoming,
Shoshone project, 103.
These vacant farms offer attractive op
portunities for settlers with sufficient cap
ital, The land Is surrounded by well tilled
farms, the neighborhood Is compact und
schools are established. Agrlculturo In
the general region Is on a sound and prac
tical basis. Thero are transportation fa
cilities within reasonable distances. But
and this is an important qualification
no man should attempt to cultivate theso
farms, which once were a part of a desert
country, with less than $2,GO0 cash. Many
settlers have started with less iftid are
succeeding, but tho struggle is too sevnro.
It is better to save and to wait. Iho

MAN'S GRIT AMAZES DOCTORS
With Ills Stomach and Intestines
l'nll of Bullet Holes lie
Lives On.
Medical authorities In Philadelphia are
amazed at the wonderful vitality exhib
ited by Joseph Adldlan, the JO-year-old
Armenian, who was found Monday, April
27, on a vacant lot on Fifty-fourth street
suffering from two bullet wounds, which
ho told tho police he' Inflicted himself
In an effort to save Adldlan's llfo phy
sicians In the West Philadelphia Home
opathic hospital several days ago re
moved his intestines and other vital or
gans, and, after sewing tho rents caused
by the bullets, replaced them. Sinco the
operation Adldlan ha sliown gTadual Im
provement, and tho physicians believe he
will recover.
When the operation was performed
Adldlan's small Intestines were found to
be perforated by six wounds. In his
large Intestines two other wounds wore
found, and two more In the stomach.
Dr. Charles Harvey, assisted by Dr. An
thony Kstoslto, performed the operation,
which required three hours. When Adld
lan was taken from the operation table
he failed to show any Increase In tem
perature, and the physicians despaired
of his life. The next day, however, the
patient became hungry and loft his bed
to hunt food. It was expected that (he
exertion would prove fatal, but Adldlan
has since steadily grown stronger.
As soon as the wounded man Is strong
enough to stand another operation the
physicians expect to probe for the two
bullets, which are said to be lodged
against his spine. Philadelphia Inquirer.

A-
Pcrhapn the most amazing episode In
the career of Illchard Corflold, who, It
will bo remembered, wns killed In Soma
liland not long ago, while acting against
raiding Dervishes, and tho story of whose
llfo Is told by Mr. Prevost Battersby In
a memorial volume published by Arnold,
concorns an occasion when Corflcld Was
hunting lions single-handed, as was his
habit.
A lion hnd charged Corfleld, and a soeno
ensued which provided, "probably, the
only Instancn on record of a foot ball
player using the 'hand-off to prevent his
being collared by a Hon. Tho fact that
tho Hon missed his first grip," continues
Mr. Battersby, "and got a poor hold' with
his second, may have been due to the sur
prlso ho experienced at receiving a slap
In the face from tho man ho was chas
ing, owing to which Corflold, getting hold
of a tree-trunk In lieu of a goal-post,
was ablo literally to wrench himself out
of tho llon'H jaws."
Again the lion, which was badly
wounded, dashed at him. He fired and
missed. "Tho next thing Corfleld knew
was that he was dodging round a small
trco with the Hon grabbing at him, white
he was trying to hand him off. The Hon
missed him first, only succeeding In
tearing his coat, but soon got Corfleld's
right hand in his mouth, biting It badly
through the palm, while pursuing him
round tho tree."
Fortunately, at tho critical moment a
comrade intervened and . shot tho Hon
dead. Corfleld, however, had to spend
tho night In his zarcba, crippled, and un
able to use his rifle, guarded only by
huge fires, while his companion went for
tho nearest doctor. It was not long affcr,
however, that Corfleld was out again
hunting lions single-handed. Such are
