tlvea of all carriers, state, federal ana
local authorities, and shippers or or
ganisations of shippers might file
briefs or statements as to the proce
dure to be followed, or complaints, on

PROBE OF N. P. LAND
GRANTS IS STARTED
Washington. D. C — A Joint congres
slonal committee has started consider
ation of the land grants to the North
ern Pacific railway.
The Inquiry is a result of represen
tations by the departments of agricul
ture and Interior that several millions
of acres In the national forests ar<
being claimed as lieu lands by the rail
road. The railroad, according to thest
departments, already has had mor
than was authorized under the grant
ing acts.
Charles Donnely, president of the
Northern Pacific, was the first wit
ness. He explained the railroad the
ory of the grant, placing emphasis ou
alleged failure of the government to
conduct surveys of the granted lands
as soon as the road was built, which
he contended resulted In the loss of
valuable tracts to the railroad.
The investigation into the Northern
Pacific land grants by a congressional
committee broadened when members
of the committee indicated they would
inquire not only Into the present con
tention of the railroad for 2,000,000 ad
ditional acres, but to the law and facts
attending under which lands have
been taken over by the railroad.

Orientals H#ve Odd
Belief About Foxet
Foxea have a terrifying effect on the
Imaginations of superstitions Orientals.
A fox Will eptiy a human’« body—
between tho fingernails and the ■kt«,
they say—and. having made himself
at home, ‘ will control the person’s
thought, actlonaLand even his voice,
leading him into deviltries for which
he feels he cannot be held responsible.
To thus be controlled by a fox—or
rather by the spirit of a fox—is to suf
fer from what If recognized as demo
niacal possession.
We ar« (old, say« the Detroit News,
that "the person possessed hears and
understands everything that the fox
inside
aaya or thinks; and that
the two often engage In violent dis
pute, the fox speaking tn a voice alto
gether different from that which is
natural to the individual.” Scientifi
cally, we have it explained that
“whereas in healthy persons one-half
of the brain alone la actively engaged
—|n right-handed persona the left half
of the brain and In left-bapded per
sona the right—In nervously excitable
persona or in persons of weak mind
the disused half of tho brain la often
aroused intb activity by fear, and that
the two halvea, now functioning—one
the normal self and the other the new
pathologically affected «elf—are set
one against the other, the result being
that the activities of the *new' brain
are ascribed to the fox."
Her Lucky Number.
Mrs. Wigton was convinced that the
lucky figure of her life war seven.
“It’s quite extraordinary” she said,
“how seven has dominated my life. 1

How to Flavor Coffee
There is a best way of doing every
thing—aven of putting sugar and
cream In your coffee. In fact, to put
*ugsr and cream ip your coffee la
quite wrong, according to Popu
lar Science Monthly.
Th« really
correct procedure la to put cream I d
th? cup, then the coffee and add the
sugar last of all. This will prevent
the cream from “feathering” should it
be slightly sour. Coffee poured on
cream and sugar in a cup la almost
certain to result in the cream’a cur
dling.
