career In an alley near Second street and

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

Juested Mr. Harder to show him dla

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

Scarcely able to Bee, ho fought desperate

t But when Stercks tore the animal loose
by main force, Baby sunk his teeth

Baby Is fat, but he Is a bulldog, and

HOUSE MEMBERS CLASH
OVER "WAR TAX" BILL
Debate on Administration Bill Be
gins Under Alleged "Gag" Kule.
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.

The alfalfa plant, known for many
centuries In Europe, was Introduced Into

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.

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

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

When an Evening Ledger photographer
went to the Jewelry store Baby was
under the safe, and tho dog looked wor

fear that It was too brutal with th in

Baby's value went up by leaps and

EDISON'S LATEST RECORDS
TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS
Simple Machine Represents Years of
Patient Experiment.
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. Tho price of the Instru
ment has not yet been settled.

Death Often Comes From Feasting as
Well as Fasting.
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

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

Inrgcst possible number of nrltlsh troops

Founded by King Frederick William
III as Reward for Valor.
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". The decoration as re
vised in 1'70 has been bestowed on 4S.57I
German warriors of all classes, Includlns
those coming from German States outside
of Prusln.
