Baby's Value Bounds, ') But He'sot for Sale. l Baby, a loyal bulldog which prevented robbery of hlsmaster, Charles Harder, of iii West Glrnrd avenuo, a Joweler, U hav jnsr the time or his life today, after spend ing the most mlserablo night of his canine career In an alley near Second street and blrard avenuo. The dog slunk Into the dark alley late last night, after he had prevented the robbery, and lay there whining1 all night. ' The courageous animal was found by " harles Blehl, of 181 West Qlrard ave nue, this morning. Blehl was attracted by the pitiful cries of the ting, and ' Baby was taken homo again. Ho Is getting everything he wants to eat to day and the whole neighborhood is praising his valor, patting him on the head and telling him what a good dog tie Is. " NEVER WAS A FIGHTER, 'j Heretofore Baby has not had much 1 of a reputation as.a fighter. His nature Is . peaceful. He stayed In the house- too Jnuch to get experience. He was dozing In a corner of his master's Jewelry store lust night, when a man, who later gave , (he name of Thomas Stercks, of 1137 East folumbla avenue, entered. c The man naked to see wedding rings ana displayed a J5 bill. Then ho ro- Juested Mr. Harder to show him dla " jnonds. When the Jeweler started to put the wedding rings back Stercks drew a piece of lead pipe from under his coat and struck Harder over the head. Tho J' Jeweler dropped unconscious. Stercks heard a low, savage growl and , then something that seemed to bo all action and teeth struck him In tho throat. Scarcely able to Bee, ho fought desperate ly to break the grip of the bulldog. t But when Stercks tore the animal loose by main force, Baby sunk his teeth eomowhero else, and for ton minutes the two battled around the store. At last Stercks managed to get a grip on tho Uog and threw him the length of the room. Then he fled. t , THE ROBBER VANQUISHED. Baby Is fat, but he Is a bulldog, and therefore persistent. He had but one aim . In life. It took him two blocks to catch Stercks, who ran with the speed of fear, but when Baby sunk his teeth again It was In the scat of Stercks' trousers. The man fell and the dog stood over him. By that time persons In tho vicinity 01 me sioro iparnea wnat nad happened to Harder.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2I.-Launchlng In the lloue at noon today of tho Admin Istiatlon's "emergency Internal revenue" war tax bill was the elgnnl for opening of bitter bombardment nnd defense by tho Republicans nnd Dcmocrnts respectively. Passage of the bill tomorrow Intact without any amendments, except minor ones coming from the Ways nnd Means Committee, was certain. The Senate wilt take- up the bill late next week, but time elap'slng there before llnat enactment Is problematical. Tho opening clash on tHe war emer gency measure came when Chairman Henry, of the Rules Committee, reported the rule to limit debate on the tax bill to seven hours, three hours longer than originally planned, as a concession to many members desiring to Bpenk. Forty minutes of debate only was allowed on the rule, which the opposition terms a "gag" rule. Till lfV RV''3l t s: -hi.8, iftM - , v, ,X -9Wc:v?

ALFALFA PLANT BROUGHT TO ECUADOR BY THE SPANIARDS Now Cultivated Between 5200 and 10,500 Feet Above Sea, The alfalfa plant, known for many centuries In Europe, was Introduced Into Ecuador by the Spaniards In tho 16th century. They found growing wild there an annual species of the plant having yellow (lowers, which differed somewhat from tho European specie!, although In no way superior to It, nnd had never been cultivated by the Indians. Tho Novations at which It Is cultivate! here are between 62i0 nnd 10.600 feet above sea level, as the climate Is too hot or too cold outside of those limits for the ,w- . t - HapGtM. and Royal Ministty of foreign Affairs nt- viwina. ,$" WfHf ttsiae. biercKs- ncad was covered with blood. His throat and ear are badly marked. While Stercks and Harder were being taken to St. Mary's Hospital, Baby disappeared. Harder did not recover consctousuess for nearly an hour after ho was admitted .to the hospital. Today he Is back In his Jewelry store with his head swathed In bandages. Stercks Is being hold In $800 tail for court on the charge of highway robbery. A smashed gas fixture In the store showed the force Stercks put Into the blow meant for Harder. Tho gas fixture partially stopped the weight of tho blow. Tne nuiiciog. in spue or tiie nno treat ment being given it, is still somewhat undecided toflay about the whole affair. When an Evening Ledger photographer went to the Jewelry store Baby was under the safe, and tho dog looked wor ried. It will take a few hours of caress ing to overcome the animal's evident fear that It was too brutal with th in truder last night Baby's value went up by leaps and bounds today. Three men npplled to Harder to buy the dog before noon and one of them offered $300 for the animal But Harder says Baby Is not for sale, and anyhow tho dog is the prop erty of his wife.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Edlson's latest Invention, the (describe, which records both sides of a telephone conversation, is now on exiuniiton. The machine Is simple. Tho desk tele phone Is equipped with two transmitters nnd two receivers. Tho talker used ono set nnd tho other set Is hitched to a phonograph record which takes down every sound on tho wire. Tho phono grnph is started recording nnd stopped at will by pressing buttons. But though the machlnn is simple and easily understandable, like other Edison Inventions, It represents years of experi ment. It was pointed out yesterday that though Mr. Edison said of the phono graph In 1878 "the phonograph will per fect the telephone" neither he nor any ono else perfected a mechanism to lecord telephone conversations In tho 36 years following his prophecy until tho appear ance ( the telcserlbe. An Important difficulty was tho weak ness of tho voice at tho further end of tho telephono wire. This was overcome by putting one receiver ngalnst nn ncous tlcon, which sufficiently magnified the sound to permit tho phonograph to take 11 own cieany. It was said yesterday that CO per cent, of all communications In this country to day Is over tho telephone. The chief value of the telescrlbe is expected to be In fixing exactly what was agreed to by phone in business transactions. One tele, scribe will serve for nil tho business of n firm. It can be nfllxed to tho switch board and used In recording any conver sation wished.

The militant suffragist campaign of self-starvation suggests to Dr. A. E. Gibson that death domes as often from feasting as from fasting. In a paper In Health Culture ho sets out that wo eat wrongly and not Infrequently starve In tho midst of plenty. We make our meals of Incongruous food and then wo cut prodigiously or the Ill-balanced food mix ture, causing auto-Intoxication or starva tion. The food decomposes Instead of digest ing and the neives are sustained on poisoned blood. Certain foods, no mat- ter how good In themselves, when mixed ! In the same meal ferment and generate toxlo acids which result In catarrh, as-thma, rheumatism, etc., until tho whole Inward tract Is devitalized, nnd tho or gans so deranged that the fluids of nutri tion aro impaired. Most diseases, it Is held, are duo to errors of diet, and a too early old ago Is duo to the struggle of the system to hold Us own ngalnst devitalized and unemla tissuo caused by wrong eating. Tho promiscuous eater may triumph for a time, but ho Is losing headway and sooner or later dizziness, acidity of the stomach and general discomfort como ns warnings. Then ho takes to medicines which aro a moro whip to tho nerves, exhausting tho reserve forces. Medicines, tho doctor holds, aro not a source of vitality any more than a whip Is to a horse. Nothing can help us but food, so com bined as not to glvo rise to fermentation. Mero absence of meat does not change tlia chemical principles of food. Any diet that admlt acids, staich, sweots, fruits, salads, milk and pa.stry at the samo meal undermines the constitution. Such unwise mixture In n vegetnrian diet has caused moro indigestion and catairh than any other violation of dietotlcSrinciples. It is not a question of purity of food but the bringing together of foodstuffs that defy physiological chemistry. Tho remedy Is a proper combination of foods. And then comes tho Individual tempera ment nnd the atmosphere of one's mental nro. i-ooa tnnt is good ror ono Is bad for another. For each Individual Is n world to himself nnd the attitude of mind Ilea back of tho physiological na ture. 80 It Is necessary that each individual learn by close observation his rotation to food in his dally routino existence, and so solve the perplexing question of life or aeatli as Influenced by a right or wrong system of diet. The test of lifo really bealns at CO Then it Is shown w bother the Individual has been eating lightly or wrongly, whether lie has laid up sufficient force to carry him Into old ugo or whether by senseless gluttony ho has used up his blrth-promlso of .1 long, happy and useful existence.

CANADA'S BIG PROBLEM IN MOVING HER CROPS Uses Vast Continental Railways lo Hurry Men to Quebec. Canada Is making great contributions to tho war. It Is still uncertain how many troops she will contribute, but 100, 000 Is the number most frequently men tioned, nnd tho stntoments recently made by Lord Kitchener nnd Lord Roberts re garding tho necessity for raising the Inrgcst possible number of nrltlsh troops makes It npparent that every man Canada can send will be needed, says Kathleen Hills In Leslie's. Canada, bollig a vast territory, sparsely settled, has Importnnt problems of com munication, nnd tho Government has taken every precaution to see that none of tho transcontinental. railway facilities aro Impaired by the destruction of bridges or other strategic points. That accounts for tho sentries at bridges, along dlfllcult stretches of track, and In the mountain passes.

Shortly after tho opening of hostilities the German Kaiser, following the prece dent established by William I, rcinstltut ed the famous Order of the Iron Cross. The Xew Ymk Staats-Zellung fur nishes an interesting history of this cov eted mark of distinction, which Is awarded solely for the performance of defds of tho highest valor on the lleld of batUe. King Frederick William III of Prus sia founded tho order on March 10, 181.1, a3 a reward for services rendered to tho Fatherland in the Napoleonic wars. Th plainness of the Iron Insignia was intend ed to remind Its wearers of the hatd timet) that had brought It Into being. It was a small Iron Mnltcso cross Inlaid wlt a narrow silver band Just Inside tho bev eied edge. The only other marks upon it were three oak leaves In the centre, the royal Initials r. Y. surmounted by a small crown and the date 1813. As Is customary In the case of royal or ders, there were two classes and a grand cross, the latter twice tho regular size. In 1SU a permanent endowment was add ed, paying fixed annual sums to tho wearers of tne decoration. On July Ut, 1S70, tho day that France again declared war on Prussia, tho order was revived by King William I on the same conditions as originally Instituted. At that time the three oak leaves wero dropped, and the letter W, the croivn and tho date 1S70 were substituted for tho original murks, but the three leaves were restored by an order of the Imperial council In ISO".
