The civilized world cOntemplates
with speeches. horror this culminat-
ing crime OF the 'unspeakable Turk"
the Outrages upon Armenian Christ
ians. That 10000 inOffensive people,
men. women and children, could be
prosecuted with deyilish hatred, treat
ed with nameless indignities and mas
sacred in cold blood in this age of the
world is a disgrace. a shame to the
civilization of enlightened nations.
The recital of these brutal crimes has
blanched the cheek of maid and wife
and mother with nameless terror,
and burned the faces of brave men
red with the fares of furious indig-
nation, an Indignation that should
only terminate in vengeance that
will sweep the last vestige of this un-
clean race from the face of Gods
green earthl There are no living
words of sufficient INFAMY through
which our thoughts can find adequate
or feeble utterance for our cOndemna-
ton of these brutal crimes. Let fire
and sword exterminate the miscre-
ants and their disgusting carcases rot
on Armenian plains.
Washington. Dec. 1.-THE nutri-
tive value and cost of foods is discussed
at length in bulletin of the agricul-
tural department based or investiga-
ton made by the bureau of animal
industry. 1.-The results of these
studies" says the bulletin, confirm
the general impression of hygienlsts
that our diet is one-Sided and that we
eat too much. Owing to the large
consumption in this country of sugar
and the use of large quantities of fat
meats the food which we actually eat
has relatively too little proteine and
| too much fat. starch and sugar. And
it is found that the proteine in
ordinary fruits, fish and meats is
readily digested; that the vegetable
| food is much less completely digested
than animal foods. One-fourth or
one-third of potatoes, wheat or rye
flour may escape digestion and thus
| be useless for nutrition, and one-sixth
of the proteine in wheat -four, corn
| meal. peas and beans may be assumed
to be undigested when cooked and
! eaten in the usual way"

man Uangen Of Wisconsin has de-
cIared himself a candidate for the
position of seFgeant-at-arms of the
house i'm the tifty-fourth congress,
and is receiving flattering promises of
sunnort from Western mem bers
Congressman Mcdowell of Pennsyl-
vania has been the leading candidate
for this position and there Is no doubt
that a strong com bination is being
nut up to land him in that place. 1t

included Congressman L. j. Hender-
son of Illinois for clerk and a New
