A Book for Young Men.
n immeasurable amount of suffering

An immeasurable amount Of suffering and
injury to the human race, is due to the ignor-
ant violation OF physiologi laws by the
youth OF our land. Ruinous practices are
INDUCED in, through ignorance o. the newt
able injury to constitution and health which
surely follows. BY every young man, the
divine Injunction, "Know Thyself," should be
well needed. To assist such in acquiring a
knowledge OF themselves aud Of how to pre-
serve health, and TO shun those perncious
and most destructive practices to which so
many fan victims, as well as TO reclaim and
point out the means OF relief and cure to any
who may unwttingly have violated Natures
laws and are already suffering the dire con-
sequences, an association OF medical gentle
men have carefully prepared a little book
which is replete with useful information to
every Young man. II will be sent to any ad

The Result in the First.

or all the notable victories yet
achieved by the friends " fair play In
this state. that won yesterday In the
First district is the most gratifying
and at the same time the most signiti-
cunt. To observers remote from the
scene OF il, this result may seem only
one In a link Of marked popular tri-
umphs: but to those who are familiar
with the admiration felt for years by
the Republicans OF the First district
for Matthew Stanley Quay-an admira-
ton elected by his unQues toned gifts
OF leadership and his extraordinary re-
sources OF polS,lcal command-this
great visitation OF cersure for Mr..
Quay's present error is doubly 0ad
trebly reassuring.
We take It that It involves, net any
turaing away from Mr.. Quay, the true
leader, but rather a notification to him
and to the bntrlguers who hide behind
him. that genius OF party generalship
is not license for the gross abuse of
party authority, and that the 'truest
function of fearless friendship Is to pre-
vent the ratification Of deliberate mis-
cakes. 1t is q result which betokens
careful thought among the masses OF
the party, and disposition to reach to
the very bottom of the issue Involved
irrespective of past predictions or
prejudices. And finally. 1t is an EN-
phatic and overwhelming rebuke. from
Senator Quay's truest admirers, to the
audacious misuse OF his name under

who dared not fight their selfish battles

thrice sought to stab their party and

prestige, and each time they have

to Be- snapped asunder the moment that

Up to That time, Governor Hastings
had been most considerate OF Senator

permitted the senator RIO name all but

Should Eat r1Ore Oats.

Quite a novel point IL raised by the
Chicago Times-Herald when 1t asks
what Is to become Of the American oats
crop II tn. trolley and the bicycle are
to supplant the herbivorous horse "Ac-
cording to statistics recently gathered
our Chicago contemporary adds "a
conservative estimate places the num-
ber Of horses supplartcd by electricity
at 80 900. The number displaced by the
bicycle Is a matter OF speculation. but
Il Is admittedly very large. judging
from the reports Of f1orsadealers and
Iive-ymen. 1t Is claimed that the 3d.
600 animals alone consume A.0Oo.0OO
bushels of grain annually. As the oats
crop In this country amounts to about
e50. 900, 900 bushels annually. the de-
creased demand occasioned by the troll
ley car does not as yet have any appre-
ciable effect upon the cash market, but
Il must ultimately cause a decline In
prices"
The period Of declension is, In the
Times Herald's opinion, an opportune
time to press the need and desirabiltty
of O. more general consumption OF this
excellent and highly nourlshlng food
product by the human family. ut Is
one OF the notable dietetic eccentadcl-
ties Of the American people," II OBJ
serves, 'ghat they consume such large
quantities OF wheat -four. We have
failed to note the fact that some of the
most rugged and robust nations Of Eu-
rope eat very little pure wheat flour

constitutes an important factor IN the
culinary products Of many European
nations. 1t has been proved many
times by the hig'lert hygienic authori-
ties that wheat flour, when separated
entirely from the nutritious hull. Is not
an ideal food product. Indeed, 1t rs
maintained by many that in point OF
digestibiHty and nourishtng properties
It does not compare favorably with
cornmeal or oatmeal. The human AMI
NAL should eat more corn and more

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
AIender Whom All Can rrns4.


Norrlstown Herald: THE strength OF
Governor Hastings with the people Of
Pennsylvania may be judged by the fact
that those who are now making war upon
his administration, are obliged to dis
semble their real purpose and to assert
that they have no intention to antagonize
him as permanent chairman Of the state
convention. They profess to deplore the
bad company with whom ne is associating,
but they perceive the drift OF public opin-
ion 80 plainly that they consider It good
policy TO affect the greatest respect for
Hastings at the same time that they are
trying to prevent him from having any
influence in the management OF the party
which nine months ago elected him to the
position he now holds by the largest ma
jorIty ever known In Pennsylvania. Re-
publcans who have at heart tho interests
Of the party and the public. recognise
In Daniel II. Hastings a man above the Or
dinary politician whose ruling motive IN

vantage, In whose mind self is ever upper

ed, will be found overwhelmingly In his
favor, Just as It was at the election Of Mo-
vember. 1891. No display OF so.called
shrewdness on the part OF his antagonists
can blind the members of tho party to
tho fact that Governor Hastings ID a
leader whom they can trust, and they will
rally to his support In such force a. 70

would disorganise the party for their own
selfish purposes"

Philadelphia, Press: 'Is this curious
Democratic support Of Senator Quay
prompted by regard for Republican well
fare? Or is 1t inspired by the belief that
this Is the best way to serve Democratic
interests? How does 1t happen that these
Democratic papers are so unanimous and
so earnest for Senator Quay. and so anx-
iOus that Republicans shall turn down the
Republican administration that they have
just elected by an overwhelming major
ity? 1t is because they remember that the
antt-Hastings domination OF 1890 resulted
in Democratic victory before the people.
and that the Hastings leadership Of 1894
was crowned with an unparalleled sue
cess?"
