Something of a departure in the way of go^erpment investigation and publication has this week made Its appearance from Washington. This Is a pamphlet issued by the Depart ment of Agriculture deslgnod to aid the housewives of the country in solving some of tbe problems brought sharply to their attentfop by the present high range of food prices. T^he pamphlet debris particularly with the economical use of meat in the home. ' It contains some forty-two. pages of reading matter dealing with practically all sidee of the. meat situa tion, and can be had free of cost by ?application to the Secretary x>t Agri culture or to senators or congress men. The matter contained therein covers tbe practical as well as the scientific side of the food problem, one feature being some twenty pages of recipes for preparing meat alone or with other materials in the pro duction of appetizing dishes. In thej book stress Is laid upon the nutritive value of tbe leas expensive portions of meat, and an effort is taade to in culcate economy as well as to Inform those using the book as to th4 best methods of food preparation. The wide circulation and observance of the suggestions contained In this, pamphlet should do something to mitigate the ^strain under which householders find themselves as a re sult of tie' record-breaking heights touched by practically all meat pro ducts. National Capital. HAD STROKE OF APOPLEXY W?i Second Oldest Member of the Court, Judge Harlan Being His ' Only Senior ? Hia Death Raises a Serious Question in Connection With the Trust Cases. Washington, D. C.. Ma/ch 28. ? David Josiah Brewer; associate Jus tice of the Supreme court of the United States, died tonight a^ 10:30 o'clock aa the result oX a stroke of apoplexy. His death followed within a minute or two, before he could be carried to his bed. Mrft. Brewer was with him when the end came. Jus tice Brewer was 73 years old. The end came altogether unexpect edly. Although he had not been feel ing well for the past few days, the aged jurist was up and out today, ap parently in the best of health and spirits. He was in equally good spir its at dinner and spent the evening in reading. Shortly /after 10 o'clock he retired to his room and within a few mo ments Mrs. Brewer heard a heavy fall and went to Investigate the cause. She found her husband prone upon, the floor of the bathroom. He flf not regain consciousness and died be fore a physician, hastily summoned, could reach the hopse. . C J . The two daughters of the aged jur ist, Mrs. James F. Karrich and Mrs. H. B. Jet more, were summoned at onoe, but reached the residence too s. ? ? ? Justice Brewer , came to the' Su preme coqrt of t&e United Spates frofe .the Federal qourt in Kansas? He was the 'second oldest member of the court,- Justice Harlan only being his senior. He was regarded as the most democratic of all the members of the .court, most affable, approach able and accommodating. He was the one man on the bench. who had proof copies of his opinions prepared for the newspapers and this he did constantly. Justice Brewer's death raises a se rious question as to the action o( the court regarding the Standard OH c?d American Tobacco Company aitlts and It Is not improbable that the cases will have to be retried, slnee there now remain but sevfcn Justices to pass upon them. Justice Bloody not hav ing participated in the trials by rea son of continued illness.

AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT II t? the Desire, of tlie Members That the Present ttesnlnn Come to on End Soon ? More Thmn Half of the T?ft Program Wilt Go Over Until ' the Next Station. ' Washington. March 28. ? Congress has been In session four months, lack ing a few days, yet the first adminis trative. measure recommended by P^ealdent Taft in his annual message ^Bftytro congress in December has not been forwarded to him for his signa ture. If tjie desire of the members ?to force an early adjournment pre vails. more than half of President Waft's legislative program will go over until next session. An examination of the "record gives this result: k! The house In December passed the bill to admit Arizona and New Mex ico to Statehood by unanimous vote. These bills have just boon ordered re ported to the senate, with some amendments, but no time has been set^or their consideration; the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries, by a party vote, reported the ship subsidy bill, which has been on; the calendar for several weeks ?with no Indication when the leader^ will bring the matter before the house. . The railroad bill, which also provides for a commerce court of ap peals. was reported to the house last week after having been considered by Intestate and foreign commerce com mittee since January. 20. This meas ure will provide a heated debate, it is believed, as the minority members of the committee. In so many words, charge that the bill, if enacted Into law In its present form, would nullify the decision of the United States Su preme court in the Northern Securi ties case, thus n?*roittlng the rail roads to merge. President Taft's pet measure to grant federal charters to corporations doing Interstate business, his antl ihi Junction, bill, and ^?eryatlon bills are still beforsrthe house com mittee where they have been for three months. The postal savings bank bill, which \vas, introduced In the house and senate at the opening of the session laBt December, have made some progress in that the sen ate has passed the measure and it Is now befere the house comzliittee on postofflceR and postroads. . Friends of the bill Bay the house committee will report it. with numerous amendments early in April, but Just when it will be called up no one in authority seems to know. House insurgents say the delay In the president's legis- | lative program can be charged to the i regulars, who have resisted the move- 1 ment to liberalize the rules whereby' the house majority could enact legis lation. ? Now that the speaker has been eliminated from the rules com mittee, much of ihe lost time will be made up in securing early action on the administration's measure now on the calendar. With but two remain ing appropriation .bills ? sundry civil and general deficiency ? to be report ed to the house, and the naval bill now having the right of way, the house ought to be free of the supply bills by April 10. This does not In clude, however, an omnibus public building bill, in which every member of the house is interested.- It will readily be seen, according to these facta, that there is enough important legislation recommended by. the pres ident to keep congress in session for at least thfee months longer.

The mayor of Indianapolis has made a successful entry jlntu the lftiellght by inaugurating the female copper Idea. The mayor Is In dead earnest, even if bis critics persist in taking him as a joke. In defense of his position he marshals a fine" array of lpgic. Arguing on the prlnclplo that it takes a thief to catch a thief, he believes the most effective way to ferret out maWactresses Is to put members of their own sex on their trail. The Pittsburg Post points out tho disaster that would follow the Inno vation in the fol^pwlng editorial: "Mayor Shank of Indianapolis may or may not bo a suffraget ? ta use the term figuratively ? but he nt all events Is not afraid of innovations. He announces thai he is In favor of the. employment of women police men. and has gone so far as to con fide his views on the subject to coun cils. ? "Are th(; policemen of Indianapolis so gallant that they will not arrelt female offenders or. aB some wouyd say, ihe ladies? No. not exnctly: but it does seem that It takes women to catch women.
