Therapeutic Character of Vegetable Acids


The antiscorbutic properties of certain
vegetables and fruits are in some cases Of
fully equal value to their nutritive quail
tles, and the amount of potash salts and
mild vegetable salts thus contributed to the
blood is well understood by physicians.
The rhubarb stalk is noted in this respect
for the malic acid and binoxalate of potash
which it contains. The acidity of the lemon,
orange and other species of the genus citrus
is caused by the abundance of citric acid in
their juices; that of the cherry, plum, peach,
pear and apple from the malic acid in their
pulp; that of gooseberries and currants-
red, black and white-from a mixture OF
malic and citric acids; that of grapes from
q mixture of malic and tartaric acids; that
Of the mango from citric acid and a very
fugitive essential oil; that of the tamarind
from mixture of citltc, malic and tartaric
acids.-New York Tribune.

tions-Odd and Curious Articles.

CHICAGO. March 16.-The little drawing
room Of the Field house on the North
Side, in Chicago, looks like Mrs. Field.
1t is pretty and dainty, and modern and
homelike. 1t IS sweet and sufficient
when Mr.. Field is not there. When he is
it becomes a background. Mr.. Field is
of the size and personality to create back
grounds. He can make one out of almost
ything-material or human. He
IS a surprise. One of the few sur
prises lett. There never has been
a portrait or description of him
that would cause him to be
recognized one inch beyond the limit of
his own acquaintance. All of his photo
graphs are ridiculously old, or insipidly
young. He has no age. There could go
into no photograph the solemn light of
the big grey eyes-or the long body with
the look of fbrous strength, the
long head and the mouth that is
only saved from being pathetic by
the look OF being able to take care
of its own affairs. Mr.. Fields person.
atty expresses his poetry. He is sim
pie and entirely natural, and altogether
generous. There has never formed upon
his mind, or heart, or manner, any
thing OF the crust of conventionality.

Parliamentary Humor.

The house of commons now scruples to
adjourn on account of Derby day; but in
early times it INDUCED in no liday upon
occasions which modern readers must
consider still more strangely made
quate. Horace Walpole mentions in
his memoirs that in March, 1751,
the house adjourned to attend the
Drury Lane theatre, where Othello was to
be acted by Mr.. Delaval and his family.
Again, in February, 1881, bill intro
duced by Mr.. Burke, with referen ce to
the civil list, was read first time; but
the second reading was deferred to that
day fortnight, ''because the 21st was to
be feast day, and the 22nd was the bene-
fit of Nine. Vestris, the fayorite French
dancer at the opera.
Even when in session the house was
much given to amuse itself with petty or
frivolous incidents, as is shown by some
singular entries preserved in the official
records. Uoder date May, 1904, it is
noted that a jackdaw few in at the win
dow. This was considered ominous, and
apparently it proved bad omen for the
bill in debate, as the measure was soon
afterward rejected. Again we are told by
May, 1914, "a dog came into the house,
'sa strange spaniel, mousse colored.' -
About 10 years later it is recorded that
another canine intruder entered the
house, taking his seat before the
speaker and all the government. Not
content to remain silent spectator, the
dog joined in the proceedings by bark
ing loudly. Lord North, then prime
minister, was speaking, and jocularIy
appealed to the speaker, saying: s'Sir, I
am interrupted by new member"
The dog, unabashed, did not take the
hint, but resumed his barking where
upon the good-humored premier kept up
the joke, protesting that ''the new mem
same debate.'' In much more recent
times almost equally trifing episodes
have been known to relieve nightly the
tedium of political contention. - Cham

offered much larger salaries than he re-

thing possible in Chicago. He means to
bring out his new books there, and bring
them out in a way that the east has never

The mails bring him expressions of
friendship from all ages and social con-
ditions. School girls, who tell him that
they like his gentle and sympathetic way
of speaking OF women. The family life OF
the Fields is delightful. It is happy
house. Mrs. Field is a beautiful woman,
with the face of young girl and all the
dainty modern ways.
What can man ask more of the world
than so TO be that a natural expression of

He writes for children because he has
kept embedded in his larger growth of
experience and strength OF knowledge,
his child's heart and soul and delicacy of
perception. His poetry touches every
body, because he puts his finger on ne
pulse of humanity. He makes pot try of
not the ephermeral fashions OF thought,
but OF the fundamental instincts which
guard the race. Mr.. Field is about 40
years old, counting by years, and his lace
IS smooth and long, and his hair is thin
and blonde. He is over six feet tall and
bread shouldered. You look at him and
think that almost anything could have

The diet, then, that is most generally
useful in reducing obesity is one largely
confined to albuminates dean meat,
chicken, fish, etc. J., with a very small
proportion of rice, white bread or pota-
toes, and the proportion can be safely re-
duced if a fair amount of tat is taken at
the same time.
It should be distinctly understood,
however, that when any considerable re-
duction in weight is necessary medical
advice should be obtained in order that
the individual needs and weaknesses may
be kept wisely in view. Otherwise much
harm may be done.
The necessity for exercise as an adiuv-
ant to this treatment has already been re-
ferred to and should also be wisely pres
cribed as the same amount or rules will
by no means apply to all.

ink, which stalks solemnly down mar
gins. Mr.. Field says that roses are the
flowers he loves best. ''You can tell the
roses from the leaves, because the roses
are red and the leaves are green.' But
there is life in his drawing. He once made
a sketch of the back of Major Moses P.
Handy's head, with his whiskers flowing
out at the sides, and wrote under it
Philadelphia, Pa.'' And it arrived at
it's destination at the earliest possible
moment.
There are numbers of bulky books
bound in red leather in the Field library.
Three big volumes contain collection of
over {, GOO war envelopes. Mr. Field has
a mania for collections. His cabinets are
loaded with odd and curious things
picked up from abroad, jumbled in with
souvenirs. The Bohemian glass goblet,
which was his souvenir of the great Eel
lowship club dinner in October, when a
cardinal and a vice president, and states
men and newspaper men, and diplomats
and princes of commerce sat down to-

Japanese Color Prints.

Other artists besides the painter have
contributed to bring about the perfection
Of these color prints-artists whose names,
except in the rarest instances, have per-
ished with them even in Japan. Work
equal to theirs is common enough there,
but is rare enough here to merit some
thing more than passing notice. First,
there is the artist engraver. What nm
ished pieces of Workmanship are the
blocks he cutsl How the lines sweep
from his knife with the same unerring
grace with which they sprang into lie
from the brushl Never a qulver, or
shake, or tremble to rob them of parti-
Gle of their dextrous force.
Look at the faces of any of the women
and see how steady are the lines of the
contour, and how wonderfully fine and
clear those of the hair as it leaves the
forehead. And then there is the artist
printer, who spreads the ink upon the
blocks so carefully that every line comes
clearly from the hand pressing,
not one Of them smudged or
blurred. Really 1 am not sure whether
the place of honor should not be
given to the printer. He might have
marred the work OF the engraver, and
spoiled the effect the painter sought for,
his methods OF printing being of the
crudest and most unpatentable; yet in
stead OF marring he has added beauties,
and left the mark OF his own individuality
upon the print. His methods are of the
cTudest; the methods OF the skilled
Oriental always are.
Whether it be the Chinaman extracting
tin from the abundant ores of the Straits
settlements or the Japanese manipulating
ten or a dozen color blocks on a cheap
print, it is always the came story; the
method is perfect and perfectly simple. In
their chromo-xylogrsphs the faults OF
register are very few and very far be-
tween, the reason being that the
method of printing did not allow
of faults of register. In fact, we
find the printer himself turned
painter. Where the color in the picture
is shaded he also shades the tone on the
block for every printing and reproduces
1t in one pressure; often in prints OF the
highest class two or three colors will be
found shaded in this way. There is moth
ing left for US but to make the old and
now frequent confession-we don't know
how to do it, and If we did it wouldn't
pay.-The FOrtnightiy ReUielr-
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-03-19

only needs to have little more money
than he could spend to be entirely per-
feet. There is not in his work, or life,
or character, any drawing up to set
rules. He is as he is, he works as
ne does, because his instincts and
sense of fitness have led him into those
ways. He is impatient of forms. Half
his humor comes from his sense of the
incongruity OF some forms. In his work
he disclaims any knowledge of even lit
erary terms. He says that ne does not
know a t'triolet' from an ''iambic,' . and
an s'anapest" is an unknown god. Mr..
Field is the friend of all sorts and condi-
tions of men. About This house, in the
little room opening off his drawing-room,
which he calls his ''den,'' are souvenirs
of statesmen and actors and business
men, and painters and poets and priests.

FOOD AND OBESITY.
Too Much Flesh Endangers the Action
of the Heart.
WHAT Stout People Should Eat in Order
to Reduce Their Weight Different
Dietaries Compared.
For THE HERALD.

For THE HERALD.
It is fact that every individual is in
respect of adipose, law unto himself,
which is with him sign of health and
we'll being. Above this he does not COM
monty go far without discomfort, and be-
low it he cannot sink far without some
impairment of health.
1t is well known to physicians that
many extremely stout persons are very
anamic, the undue amount of fat SEEM
ing to appropriate an undue share of the
body's oxygen, leaving to other tissues
less than their rightful share.
In such persons, the heart is often
weakened, and the muscles are feeble, so
that part of the treatment consists in
measures that shall restore these organs
to their normal yigor, as well as in rules
for diet that shall not only reduce the
fat present but that shall likewise prevent
its accommodation.
The frequency, indeed, with which ex-
cessive fat is associated with general
weakness is the basis of one of the recent
famous obesity cures of Germany, viz,
the Ooertel and Schmeninger cure, in
which exercises that shall increase the
hearts vigor are regarded as necessary a
part as is the limited and scientific regi-
men of the table.
Slow but prolonged walking, short but
gradually increasing mountain ascents,
and other forms of exertion that call upon
the heart, are regularly prescribed by
these physicians and, we are assured with
the best effect.
WHY THE BANTING SYSTEM FAILS.
It is known that Bantingism has re-
suited in many instances most disast-
rously to some who undertook to follow
Banting's dietary; those persons were
physically untitled for the deprivation
of certain articles which are not allowed
in his list and many fell from his hands
into those of the general or the special
practitioner who was called upon to treat
the nervous exhaustion that resulted from
an inadequate diet.
THE ONE SAFE RULE.
There is one point in which all systems
agree, and which is in the main, a proper
one for all obese persons who have reached
middle life. This point is that of a re-
duction in the total quantity OF food taken
during the day.
Every dietary has its own lines OF
special reduction; that is, one will give
less fats than another, or a second will
reduce the starches and sugars far be-
low those of the next system. But all
alike agree that less food, in toto, is to be
taken.
THE PERIOD OF "'LEssENED NEEDS"
1t is probable that ignorance of this
fact of ''lessened need'' is responsible for
much undue increase in weight at this
period, and that what should seem very
trif1ing excuses in the aggregate manu-
facture many undesirable pounds of flesh.
1t is estimated for instance that a per
son eating only one-half an ounce OF SUI
gar daily in excess of his needs, would
