Mr.. Cleveland's letter to Benton is a
sop thrown to the Democratic party
with view to stop the current censure
of the President. The honest, manly
course, If he means to nullify his per
nicious" order, is TO Withdraw it, and
say frankly that ofiice-holders are under
no restraint, if only their activity is on
Democratic lines. Bold, frank Demo-
Gratis will despise this device of telling
them that his order has no real effect,
while to the Mugwumps he magnifies its
efficiency. Only candidate willing to
pay a high price for a second term
would append his signature to such a
pitiful surrender. Utica Herald.

Diet and Dyspepsia.

All The Year Round.
Most authorities are of the opinion
that cheese is indigestible, and yet even
on this point doctors can not agree. A
distinguished French chemist has sug-
gested that, to render cheese digestble,
q quarter Of an ounce Of potash should
be added to every pound of cheese, while
a German chemist has experimental up
on several kinds of food-such as
cheese, meat, milk and eggs and boldly
declares that cheese is no more indiges-
tible than meat and many articles of
diet. Suppers are usually condemned.
Some doctors assert that suppers are not
only unnecessary but positively harmful;
that sound sleep cannot be obtained after
them, and that three meals a day aresuf-
fcient. On the other hand, others are
of the opinion that light supper is
necessary to procure sound sleep. After
a meal, they say, blood is drawn toward
the stomach to supply the juices needed
in digestion. Hence the brain receives
less blood thar during fasting, becomes
pale and the powers become dormant.
Sleep, therefore, ensues.
A doctor says that recently he was
called at a. m. to lady who assured
him that she was dying. The body was
warm, he says, the heart doing honest
work. To her indignation he ordered
buttered bread to be eaten at once.
Obeying, the ''dying" woman was soon
surprised by return Of life and desire
to sleep. Milk is generally considered a
peculiarly nutritive fuid-indeed, per-
feet fuid-and therefore suitable for
persons Of all ages when it agrees with
their stomachs; yet no less an authority
than Sir. Henry Thompson states that
''for us who have long ago achieved our
full growth and can thrive on solid food
it is altogether superfuoua and mostly
mischievous az a drink" He also says
that the primary object is to satisfy
thirst, and that water is more powerful
to this end when employed free from ad-
mixture with any solid material. Choc-
olate, thick cocoon, or even milk are
therefore not 30 eficacious in allaying
thirst as water. $50 plentiful is nutri-
ment," he adds, ''that the very last place
where we should seek that quality is the
drink which accompanies the ordinary
meal" In this respect, at any rate, Sir
Henry Thompson is at one with the veg
otarians.
