THE QUESTION OF PHOSPHORUS
Value of . Fish Diet in Bringing About

value OF FISH Diet In Bringing About
Intellectual Development.
It is homely saying that fish diet,
on account of the amount of phospho-
rus supposed to be found in fish is most
desirable for the sustenance and benefit
of those who use their brains. There
is general opinion that fish is the food
for men of genius, but though this
claim has repeatedly been disputed, fish
diet continues to find favor among many
persons. The Saturday Review has re-
Gently taken up a controversy with
some of the British medical journals
on this subject, and in the course of it
declares that "the style and character
of DR.. Johnson remained the same
whether he drank lemonade and tea or
port and punch" On champagne and
ortolans, the writer adds, Burns would
have written neither better nor worse
than on collops and toddy.
This controversy has revived some in
auiry into the matter of fish as diet.
apart from the effects produced upon
celebrated individuals. 1t is fact well
known and not disputed that profess
sional fishermen are not noted for in
tellectual activity. The Cornishmen of
England, the Brittany fishermen of
France, and the Newfoundland fisher
men of North America, to say nothing
of the fishermen of the Jersey coast,
the Long Island coast or of Massachu,
sets, do not rival the graduates of es-
tablished universities in forensic de-
bates or Pathological controversies. In
Germany, for instance, the consumption
of fish to the inhabitant averages eight
pounds year. In Portugal the average
is 10 pounds, and it will not be contend
ed that the Portuguese are, generally
speaking, more intellectual than the peo-
pie of Germany. The consumption of
fish in Norway is far in excess of what
it is in Italy. The average consump-
ton of fish in the city of Paris is 80
pounds to the inhabitant year; in
the large cities of Russia of which rec
ords are preserved the average is so
pounds, and it is not easy to establish
from these figures any equation which
would show that the consumption of
fish is favorable to the mental develop
ment of the inhabitants.
There is one benefit which fish pos
sesses over other elements of diet; it
retains more of it's substance in boil
ing. One hundred pounds of beef boiled
shrinl1s to 67; 100 pounds of mutton
boiled to rs; 100 pounds of fish boiled
to "a. On the basis of nutritive value,
taking beef as the standard, Goldfish rep
resents 6S, turbot IS, herring 100-the
same as beef-and salmon 10S, little
more. Fish in moderation is probably
as desirable food as any, but an ex-
elusive fish diet is not particularly
favorable, so far as there are records
at hand to show, to the development of
intellectual qualities of individuals who
on beefsteal1, oatmeal or wiener schnit-
eel are unable to pluck from the hand
of fame the laurels of triumph on the
paths of prose or poetic composition,
campaign oratory, political economy or
art, to say nothing of music and archi
tecture.-N. Y. Sun.

we not ask Him to put an end to our

and to make us spiritually glad? God
can accomplish this transformation.

grasp. Then he wrote from Madrid,
where he had gone in consequence OF
4 rumor that the precious vase had been
sent to the Spanish capital and placed
in a museum.
After that she did not hear from
him for long time. She began to
grow uneasy, first for the Cellini vase
and then for her nephew. She had
not before known how fond she was of
him.
1t was year from the time of his
departure that Will returned, walk
ing in one evening as quietly as if he
had been down town for an hour or
so, and had just come back.
Mrs. Branscombe sprang to meet him
in transports of delight. After she had
welcomed him and asked him how he
was and where he had been and why
he had not written to her, she said:
Il forgive you for not bringing the
vase. After all, Will, l think I'd rather
have you. You know Twas always fond
of YOU"
Will almost whistled in an excess
of incredulity, but checked himself in
time.
That reminds me, though" he said,
taking box out from some mysterious
hiding place, that l did bring the
vase"
He opened the box and took from
it a vase beautifully wrought of silver,
ornamented on one side with a golden
Venus rising from a silver sea, and on
the other with swarm of small
Tritons disporting themselves gaily OF
the crests of silvery waves.
After period of breathless contem-
plation, Mrs. Branscombe cried:
What can do to pay you for such a
beauty?"
You know there is only one thing I
want"
Mrs. Branscombe looked over at Ma
bel, standing with eyes downcast, not
looking once at the classic piece Of
| workmanship.
Child, how can you be so insensible?
Do look at the charming thing. If it's
Mabel you mean you can ask her."
II have asked her."
"You undutiful-!"
Then her eye fell again upon the
exquisite carving of the master gold
smith, and she relented.
What did she say?"
"She said she would not do anything
without your consent, when you have
been so good to her."
| Good child" said Mrs. Brans-
combe, with one eye fixed apprecia-
lively on the girl and the other on the
vase. 81 can't refuse you anything
now, WILL"
Will and Mabel withdrew to the next
room to discuss the subject, while Mrs.
Branscombe remained in delightful con-
temptation of the wonderful handi-
work of Cellini.
"Do you suppose it is genuine?''
Mabel asked the day after she and Will
had returned from their bridal tour.
They were looking at Mrs. Branscombe's
treasures, chief among which was the
marvellous vase.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, December l.
The situation in Chippewa Falls is growing
more serious every minute. The mammoth
ice gorge which formed six miles down the
river has backed into the city. and the
immense volume of water coming from
above is spreading to each side, inunda ting
large portions Of the town.
Today every merchant in the city is rlov-
ing 10 places of safety. The water has fill
ed the Easements of the business blocks
almost the entire length of Bridge street
and before evening it Is expected the water
will have reached the court house. eight
blocks from the river. There is much cx-
citement in town. but everything is or
derly.
About fifty families on the south side who
were forced to move from their homes are
reported in want. and relief was immedi-
ately dispatched. Some of these families
had taken refuge in empty houses and were
will ut food or warmth.
Bridge Superintendent Callaghan OF the
Central re ad was instructed to blast out
the gorge at the east, but he would not
undertake the task.
He said that all the dynamite manufac-
tured could not bulge it, and it seems all
that can be done is to sit, hands down, and
n atch the approach of the flood. The water
this morning began to rise at the rate Of a

Rule Issued Against Executor

W -
Upon the petition Of Catharine V. Nc
Canley. widow of Theodore F. Nc
Cauley, filed today through Attorney A. A.
Birney. Judge Hagner issued rule against
Henry c. McCauey. executor of the said
decedents estate. ordering him to show
cause December II why the letters testa-
mentary heretofore issued to him should
not be revoked and Cancelled.
In her petition Mrs. McCauley says that
tie said executor has willfully concealed
from her and her children all knowledge
OF certain letter which the said executor
recently filed for probate. more than eigh-
teen months after the death of her hus-
band.
Mrs. McCauley also says that it appears
Henry c. McCauley and of other witnesses
III equity cause 1925 that he willfully de-
ceived her in the knowledge Of the estate
and communicated 70 her false informa-
tion. and endeavored TO mislead her as to
the assets of the estate, and to defraud ker
of her rights therein.
Further. says Mrs. McCauley, it appears
from the testimony taken in the said equity
cause that the said Henry G. McCauley
has combined and cOlluded with other per
sons. ana particularly with one VIM. IL.
Speiser. to prevent a part of the assets of
the estate from being realized, and to en-
able the said Speiser to hold the same in
fraud of her rights and of those of the lega-
tees under the said will. She also charges

BROKER CHAPMAN,s CASE:
What Will Probably He the Future
Plan of His Counsel.

Elverton r. Chapman. whose conviction
for failure to testify before the Senate
sugar trust investigating committee in 1891
Was yesterday affirmed by the United
States Supreme Court, said when informed
of it that he would proceed at once to
Washington and surrender himself to the
court. His counsel, ex-Judge Dittenhoefer.
Senator Ednunds and jeremiah Wilson,
will at once apply for a writ of habeas
corpus. in order to test the constitutionali-
ty of the law under which Mr.. Chapman
was sentenced to fine and Imprisonment.
No steps have yet been taken in prepar-
Ing the application for writ of habeas
corpus. In fact, no proceedings can be
taken until Mr. Cha pman is actually in the
custody Of the officers Of the court. He is
expected to surrender himself voluntarily,
although If he did not do so he could no
doubt enjoy his liberty for at least one
month longer. This further lease of liber-
ty is due to the fact that the Supreme
Court has thirty days within which to
send down the mandate to the court below.
and during that interval nothing would be
dcne with Mr.. Chapman, so long as his
bondsmen did not interfere or ask to be
released.
1t is not likely that Mr. Chapman will
escape going to Jail for short time at
least, ii he surrenders. for then his bonds
men are released, and pending the applica-
tiol for a writ of habeas corpus the court
might not be disposed to allow bail even If
the lawyers for Chapman chose to queer
their case by asking for it.
Mr.. Chapman had not up to this after
noon appeared here, but he Is expected to
show up promptly
The work Of preparing the papers to bring
up the constitutionality of the act under
which Chapman. John S. Shriver. Jay Ed
wards and Major MacCartney were arrest
ed all of whom will have to go to Jail If
the case fails, will not take long. The facts
of the case will be recited briefly, and rea-
sons given why the law is unconstitutional.
If the writ is allowed argument will follow
at the discretion and convenience of the
court. In that way all four men may be
able to continue their liberty and their sus-
pense. AT the same time, also, they will
keep UP the steady burden OF expense
which the long-drawn-out litigation causes.
