MARTIN VAN BUREN,.
\ Brief Sketch of His Political Career an,
Character.

Brief Sketch of His Political Career and
Character.
Martin Van Buren,, our eighth presi.
dent, was born at Undertook. Column
bia county, N. Y. His family were
among the early Dutch settlers, but not
among the most fortunate, for both
Martins father and grandfather were
small farmers in very humble circum-
stances. He obtained some education
at the village school, and at the age Of
fourteen begun the study of law, and
when only eighteen he represented the
republicans in the congressional con-
vention of his district. He began the
practice of law in his twenty first year,
and married Miss Hannah Hoes in his
twenty-third Two years after he had
his first party reward from the
republicans, and was made surro-
gate of Columbia county in 1908. In
1915 he was encouragement of the
state. He took up his residence in AL.
bany, and went into partnership with
his pupil, Benjamin +. Butler. In the
great question of the time, the admis.
sion of Wisconsin into the union, Mr..
Van Buren, was one of the prominent
men who insisted most warmly on the
prohibition of slavery. In 1921 he was
elected to the United States senate, and
reelected in 1927. The following year
he was made governor of New York,
and the very next year he was called
by Andrew jackson to be secretary Of
state When jackson retired, Van Buren,
succeeded him in the presidential chair.
This presidency began March 4, 1887
In the elections of 1910 and 1914 he was
defeated as the candidate for his party
In 1S4S he appeared again as the candi
date of the free soil party, but he die
not receive the electoral vote of single
state. After this his life was spent II
travel and retirement. He died on the
cath of July, 1862, when the storm O.
civil war was shaking the nation to its
foundation. His character was re
markable for its serenity. The masse,
accepted him as leader, but never
worshiped him as a hero; nor did h,
ever inspire the enthusiasm that An
drew Jackson did. AS you saw hin
once he was always seen-polite, self
possessed, dressing well, living wei
and fond of the society of literary men

THE MANUFACTURES OF MEAT.
Excessive Fatness in the Meat Product of
the United States.

Excessive Fatness In the Meat Product of
the United States.
Meat is manufactured product for
which a large amount of raw material
is required The manufacture of meat
is process of transforming the vege-
table protein, fats and carbohydrates
of grass ain into the animal pro-
tein and fat u Of, pork and mutton.
The same Principe applies IN the pro-
duction Of milk, eggs and other animal
foods. In the most economical feeding
. of animals it takes number of pounds
of hay or corn to make n pound of beef
or pork. In other words, let the farm
or make animal protein and fat from
vegetable materials in the Lest way he
can, and still he must consume large
quantity of soil product to produce a
small amount of animal food Hence
animal foods are costlier than vegcta-
bic. This is the simple explanation of
the fact that in most parts of the world
meat is the food of only the well to do
while the poor live almost entirely on
vegetable food Thus ordinary people
in Europe eat but little meat, and in
India and China they have none at all
1t is hard enough for them to get the
nutriment they need in vegetable
forms. Meats they cannot afford.
But meat making in the United
States to-day is far more wasteful than
it need be, on account of the excessive
fairness of our meats. This comes about
very naturally. We have n great ex-
cess of soil product in the valleys of
the Ohio and Mississippi and on the
ranches OF the west At present the
pork maker and the ranchmen convert
a large portion of this into very fat
meat The pork producers Of the
great corn growing states select the
breeds of swine which, as they say,
Twill take the most corn to Market"
and lave thus got into the way OF
growing animals that are little else than
masses of fat The beef-growcrs of
the western ranches, and those in the
east as well, produce excessively fat
meat Part of the fat is trimmed out
of the meat by the butcher, part is left
on our plates at the table to go to the
soap man or garbage barrel, and part
is eaten. Unfortunately very many of
US eat much more than fat, both in
meat and butter. than is needed for
nourishment and thus do injury TO our
health. Century

An acquaintance of orrs has been read

raising as a business for women, and
laughingly told us that we ought to go
