WHAT WE SHOULD EAT.

The world, especially America, is full
Of the patrons of the many varieties
Of anti-fat For the most part the
individual who worries over the fact
of being too fat is n woman. Women
dread obseity more than they do thin
ness. Angularity can be covered up
with the many devices and fads of
fashion, but fairness squeezed in too
much one place is apt to bulge out too
much at another. However the fact
remains that it is large part of exist
ence to get the most fairness and
strength from the least expenditure Of
money, at least this is true of the great
majority including the dyspeptics. So
the United States department of agri-
culture has set itself about scientific
ally ascertaining all that there is to be
found out touching the question of
food. 1t appears that some wiseacre,
in nosing around, has discovered that
most people, chiefly those of limited
means, really spend their money for
that which is not bread Green tea
is swilled by those who need beefsteak
and high priced pastry is bought by
those who would be more healthy and
happy on brown bread, and beer in
stead of coffee. There are those in
professional life who become cranky.
thin and intolerant on salads and cake
and the like and who are led to wage
war against everything not deemed
just the proper thing by them, who
under a different course of diet would
become broad and philanthropic. So
the government has set about settling
the whole matter, employing Professor
Atwater, who has been making extend
ed experiments lately, at the govern
ment's expense, to find out what we
ought to eat ON a given salary, and
his conclusions. it is hoped, will help
thousands of Americans to see what
true domestic economy is. Economy
will be his chief aim.
Economy, he finds, has been sadly
Observation-Disclosures false has passed
for the true and the true for the false.
He cites the case of a workingman who
spent S156 year for meat alone. and
only S10S for clothing for his family.
He could have got far more nutriment
at less expenditure. After the pains
taking method of scientists, Professor
Atwater has reduced his results to
tabular form, too elaborate for prac-
teal use. perhaps. He makes some
simple statements though, which every
one can understand.
A quart Of milk, three-quarters of
pound of moderately fat beef and
five ounces of wheat -four. he saws,
contain about the same amount of uu-
tritive material: but this material has
different values as nutriment Milk
comes nearest TO being perfect food.
Ii contains all the nutritive materials
which the body needs. Bread made
from wheat -four will support life. but
its ingredients are not mingled in n
way that best adapts ii for ordinary
use. A man might live on beef alone.
but the ideal nutriment for man is
found in a combination diet of beef
and bread.
What are called the protein COM
pounds are the chief flesh formers.
They are the residue after the removal
OF fat from meat. For fuel, TO keep
the body active, the fats are the most
useful.
Americans. so Professor Atwater
says. not only do not eat with discre-
ton as to Quality. but also as TO guam

THE KANSAS STATE FAIR.

Everything indicates that the coming
State Fair to be held in this city, COM
mencing October LIST, will be the most
attractive and successful live stock,
agricultural and racing exposition ever
held in the state. The encouraging
indications alluded to consist not only
of magnificent crops, but the food of
inquiries reaching the office of the
secretary from every section Of the
state not only but from other states.
The fair Of 1895 promises to be one
which will be retired back to in the
coming years as the big state fair of
80. The management are arranging
for many attractions additional to
those called for or scheduled In the
premium list such attractions as will
interest and hold from day to day the
average sightseer and holiday seeker.

THE FARMER AND SILVER.

The silver question is up for settle
ment and it will be, must be, settled
right. Silver will fall into its place
naturally once a discriminating law
is lifted from it, law which in loading
down silver Frustrated the labor of the
country and deprecated the value Of
everything under the sun, gold only ex-
copied All we have to do is to go
back to natural conditions. The pres
ent unfavorable ratio Of silver was
forced by conspiracy. Remonetize
silver and you at once restore its value,
not only the value of silver but of all
property whose values were cut in two
by characterization. The present
power-value of gold is an abnormal
one. The railroad of this country
have good cause tc remember the
Granger movement, which was ridi-
culed and laughed to scorn by Wall
street. But two or three campaigns
brought the iaw-making powers to
time and today Wall street deals in a
number of railway line stocks known
as Changers, what the farmers and
small dealers of the country accom-
plished then in the way of railway
regulation they can accomplish now in
the way Of reinstating silver. Yet if
Wall street was to be believed the
''silver craze" is dying out The past
week the Farmers Alliance of North
Carolina discussed little else than sill

movement" was once a bit of Wall
street complacency to be heard. But
the silver movement, like the old
Granger movement is, in the keeping
Of farmers, surely in the way of obtain
ing a national hearing and a national
success. ''PoOh, pooh, North Caro-
lima is only pitch, tar and turpentine

Of shoulders surmounted with gold

EDUCATING THE PEOPLE

1t is wearisome beyond measure to
hear the goldbug pirate about the ig-
norance Of the masses. The writer's
of the heavy editorials and magazine
articles are, for the most part, college
professors and paid hirelings. 1t is
their business to promulgate what they
are instructed 10 say, and the instruc-
tons come from the money centers.
1t is incubated by the money lenders
and bond dealers. 1t is formulated
and modelled TO advance their interest
and increase their wealth. These are
facts which they would gladly keep
from the public, but the secret is q
bowling, irrepressible reality, known
to every voter capable of estimating
human greed. Ignorance OF their
methods and motives would indeed be
most desirable, but the people Of this
generation are wise enough 10 pene-
trate the little scheme. Ii is sicken-
ing dish of sophistry. served by these
learned financial caterers to insist that
the people are ignorant. The Horrs

also q fact, fresh in the mind Of every
voter, that only a few months ago the
government was reduced to the hard
necessity of paying $11,OOO,O 900 prem
ium in order to secure the gold, on
her own paper, to maintain that bal
ance for few months. 1t is also true
that the syndicate, composed Of these
same wise heads who assume to teach
the benighted millions in the mysteries
of finance, got the $11,OOO,OOO. 1t is
further believed, and admitted by these
unselfish financiers, that another sale
of bonds is among the early probable
tits.
This is financiering extraordinary
on the expert plan. 1t is maintaining
honest money, and showing the ignOr-
ant public how to do it. 1t is keeping
up our credit by destroying it. 1t is
creating confidence by continually
thrusting the Nemesis Of gold ship
ments" before the people. 1t is show
ing to the world that We can pay all
obligations in gold while We can Dor
row the gold to do it. 1t is teaching
us how premiums and discounts can
be raked in by a few at the expense of
the taxpayers. Yes We are being edu-
Gated. Grover Cleveland'S object les
sons embrace most of the curriculum.
Thousands have learned it to their sor-
row. Other thousands, who are sol
vent today, will be drawn into the
whirlpool of bankruptcy before his
term expires. There is nothing in
sight but bonds-more bonds, and ad-
ditional debt. The syndicate will con-
tinue to work their game and the tax
payers win put up their colossal gains.
Business will languish, the poor will
suffer, but the campaign Of education
will go on.
If ever a nation was held up and
robbed in the broad light Of day, 1t
certainly was done in the late bond
sale. If ever a people were con-
fidenced and buncOed out of their
rights, and if ever a public treasury
was looted and held down to the verge
Of bankruptcy by ring of insatiate
robbers, we furnish the bright and
shining example. If ever the attempt
was made to enhance private interests
by preaching heresy and falsehOOd, il
is in this effort to educate the public
on the money question.

MPEACE. BE STILL

Peace! How fair, how sweet, IS
peace. This is Gods day, His day Of
peace. How welcome will it come TO
many in this city. The disturber, the
agitator. he who thinks he is doing
heavens service by stirring up his fell
low man, he who is compelled by some
strange hereditary defect to excite and
distress his neighbor, all in the name
of Righteousness, these will subside to-
day The perturbations, the turmoil
and the heartburnings of the past week
will give place to peace this morning,
give way to the calm that succeeds the
yelling storm. Christ's whole life was
a benediction of peace. Turbulence
and tumult may be aroused in His
name, but not of His spirit. SO that
pulpit from which words of peace and
love and kindness shall fall this morn
ing, rather than the one from which
shall be launched threats and inyective
to arouse and excite, will reflect the
spirit of Christ, will be blessed.
"Peace within thy walls and prosperity
within thy palaces" sang the man after
Gods own heart, and he who sings or
breaches differently cannot win men
nor ever understand chow good and
how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity" There is more in
a conquest Of peace than victory won
of strife. The world looks to the
church for peace, to its ministers and
members for kindness and charity, not
for turmoil and hate and revenge.
Strife and contention have no place in
the gospel which the Redeemer Or
dained should save world.
BLESSED are the peacemakers," and
blessed is this one day Of assured
peace The genuine Christianity Of
every heart can be best measured by
its peaceful kindness. righteous in
dignation" may be safely set down as
personal gall. Every time. The
peace which quiet worship brings the
heart is better than notoriety won at
the expense Of the peaceful spirit of
Christianity. The joy which peace in
sures and vouchSafes can never be
found in the fight Of intolerance or in
the denunciatiOn of those whom we
cannot convince. So let your speech
be always with grace, for coupled with
the glory to God in the highest is peace
on earth, and good will toward men.
Like an echo of the hills filed with His
spirit, like the sweet solemn vibrations
of the bell summoning to the house Of
prayer, comes that one magic word Of
Christ,-"Peace." 1t was when the
elements were fierce in storm Of
strife that He gently said "Peace, be
still"
So may this hallowed day be mute
with the peace which passeth under
standing, its only voice the hymn Of
praise, its only word, love. The
wearied earth with its tired children
will hail with joy its benediction Of
''peace, he still" May it fall as gently
as the sunset light on the walls Of
Jerusalem, as soothingly as the flow Of
Jordan's murmuring waters by the
olive groves of its Judean hills, once
pressed by the feet of Him whose life
was love, whose gospel was peace"
