Diet for Dyspeptics.

There are so many forms Of dyspepsia
that 1t is almost impossible to give the
foods most suitable without a knowledge
of each case. Dyspepsia usually is
caused by one Of two things, either de-
fective muscular action or defective Sc
erection of gastric juice. When 1t can be
ascertained where the digestion is at
fault, then nearly absolute directions
can be given in regard to diet. In the
majority OF cases the articles given in
the following list can be taken. but
often certain ones Of these disagree.
Thin vegetable soups. raw oysters.
poached or soft-boiled eggs. good brown
bread, gluten bread, boiled rice. oat-
meal. spinach. crosses. celery. lettuce.
string beans, asparagus, oranges,
peaches. pears. baked apples and grapes.
Granula, farinose and barley crystals
are especially good forms of cereals for
the dyspeptic. AS much depends upon
the preparation as upon the selection Of
the foods.

CHICKENS AND SMOKED CITIZENS.

There was chicken-stealing at Irving
ton. N. j.. and $50 reward was offered
for the capture of the chicken thief.
Promptly a colored gentleman who was
emerging at midnight from the barn
yard was nabbed and locked UP. He
was treated though with the SAVIOR
faire and distinguished consideration
which a pullet-lifter 10 entitled to. for
instead Of thrusting him into the Irving
ton jail. where he would have frozen
to death, the police walked him to New
ark and inserted him in q nice. COM
fortably warm cell.
For some reason or other the colored
citizen didn't like being taken for a
chicken thief. He seemed to think that
some disgrace was attached to the bust
ness. Or, perhaps, he was only worried
because. while he was locked up. some-
body else might wander into his baili-
wick and walk Off with the chickens
which kind Providence had. In the
interest Of the colored population of
Irvington. predestined to be purloined.
At any rate, he claimed to be innocent,
and Is now trying to show that the po-
lice put up job on him in order that
they might get the $50 reward.
One OF the curious phases OF our civili-
cation is the fact that. nearly every
time. II In a colored man who Is nabbed
when a chicken thief Is wanted. There
appears to be some strange sympathy
between chicken and dark meat that
draws the two together. But that is no
excuse for putting up Job on a sable
hued gentleman and hurting his feelings
beyond repair by snatching him bald
headed as he Is walking away from a
coop with a pair of Spring birds under
his red vest. DIR. Parkhurst ought to
take hold of the Irvington police and
tell them their place.
