Wheh fruit does harm it is because it
is eaten at improper times, in improper
quantities, or before it is ripe and fit for
the stomach. A distinguished physi-
clan has said that if his patients would
make a practice of eating a couple OF
good oranges before breakfast, from
February to June his practice would be
gone. The Principal evil is that we do
not eat enough fruit that we injure its
finer qualities with sugar, that We drown
them in cream. We need the medical
action of the pure fruit acids in our sys-
tenn, and their cooling, corrective infu-
ence.

SENATORIAL STUPIDITY.
The Old Warfare Between Van Wyck and
Teller Being Kent I'm

Teller Being Kept Up.
WASHINGTON March Ex-senator Mitchell
offered a resolution providing for the ap-
pointment Of a special commission of five
senators TO inquire and report not later than
the second Monday Of next December, as to
the nun Der of trade dollars put in circulation
In the United States before their legal tender
quality was repealed; how said coins came
into circulation subsequently; how many are
still held in the several states of this country
at what rates they were taken; how much
profit has accrued in any way to the govern
ment by the coinage of trade dollars and
what has been the practice of this aud other
governments rs to the receipt or refusal by
them Of their own coins.
Senators Beck and Harrison objected TO
the present consideration and it was laid
over, together with an ironical substitute bv
Senator Cockrell proposing to authorize any
two or more senators 10 constitute themselves
an investigating committee with a rowing
commission to inquire into any subjects they
may deem worthy of investigation at home or
abroad, on land or sea.
Senator Hawley, rising to a question of
privilege, called attention to the omission
from the congressional record of some re-
marks made BY Senator Van Wyek yesterday
derogatory to the members of the South
American commission, which omissions rpnd-
cred the subsequent remarks of the other
senators somewhat unmeauing.
Senator Van Wyck explained that he had
stricken out some parts of his remarks after
consultation With the senator from Missouri
Vest, as a matter of kindly feeling aud not
because he was wrong in his assertion.
A very lively debate eusued. Senator Van
Wyck introduced formal resolution direct
ing the official reporter to repubhsh the pro.
ceedngs Of yesterday.
Secretary Teller made vigorous defense
OF his administration, which was incidentally
assaulted yesterday By the senator from Ne
brasks. He had decided to paw no attention
to the remarks of yesterday, since the sena-
tor bad told him he would strike them from
the record, but now the senator had reiter-
ated them. He said the secretary of the in
terror was required to execute the law and
not 10 listen to dcmagogues. The secretary
Of the interior had been fortified in the ac-
ton criticised BY the opinion of the attorney
general, who was As much superior in his ac-

ator from Nebraska as it was possible for one

New YORK, March 21.-At the stock ex-
change the market opened quite steady, with
the ball was no sooner fairly under way than
the bears renewed their attack on the Pacifics,
and away they went down the hill, almost
tumbling over each other in their eagerness
to get to the bottom. Pacific Mail did
not halt until it struck 46s4, decline of Is
points during the week. Union Pacific
thumped its head against Al, and looked very
feeble even there. Central Pacific was down
to 291a, and rallied only little. Northern
Pacific preferred gave way with the rest and
broke to 40% during the forenoon. Western
Union Joined the procession and reached
551a. The grangers and Vanderbilts were
well held under the circumstances. although
Lake Shore declined during the early racket
to 6274, Northwestern to "a. and St. Paul to

surplus decreased 1922, 527. The feeling
among some at the noon hour was that the
decline had gone far enough to bring on
reaction, while others thought it had only
just comsnenced. The amount of the next
st. Paul dividend it is said, has been left
with President Mitchell and Vice President
Wadsworth to determine, and considerable
depends on their decision. There was some
covering at the close, which caused slight

principal buyers throughout the day.
