Fruit Diet.

A pretty complexion is essential to the
beauty and comfort of every woman
and as rule women are willing to un-
Gergo even physical torture, if recon-
mended, to gain the much desired COM
bination Of pink and white.
The latest and most popular remedy
fer skin difficulties is a thorough course
in fruit diet. A large variety of fruit at
every meal seems to be the rule.
Two oranges, ice cold and juicy, are
eaten every morning before breakfast
and often the breakfast consists only OF
a bowl of some delicate cereal, a banana
and dish of berries. Half a lemon is
served as the first course of the lunch
con, and is followed by a chop or egg
another banana, sliced pineapple or
small fruits. Dinner is begun with hall
a grape fruit and ended with grapes
peaches or melons. according to the sea
sen, and oranges, ice cold again, are
eaten before retiring.
A fruit diet is especially wholesome
and appetizing during the early sprina
months, when lemon sherbet should he
used as substitute Ior water as offer
as agreeable to quench the thirst.

PREACHING REBELLION.


MONTREAL, Quebec, Nov. 22.-The
terms of settlement of the Manitoba school
question. agreed on by the Dominion
and Manitoba governments. are far from
giving satisfaction to the Catholics of
Quebec. Archbishop Langevin. of Manito
ba, has sounded the keynote of discord
in an interview published here, and the
French papers of the province have taken
it up. Archbishop Langevin is reported
as saying: Certainly the settlement
is not satisfactory, and what is
more it will be far from satisfying Quebec
At this juncture the Archbishop paused a
moment and shook his head. Continuing
he said: How we have been sold. how
Quebec has been betrayed: too bad. too
bad; but L tell you there will be a revolu-
ton in Quebec which will ring throughout
Canada and these men who to-day are
triumphant will be cast down. The fight
has only begun"
La Verite says: THE duty of this mo-
ment appears to us to be very clear. We
must support our brothers with all our
strength. for If we allow the Catholics of
the little province of the West TO be
crushed we shall have our turn later on"
LIE Mondue, commenting on the terms
of the Manitoba school settlement. says:
IF ever people had the right to rebel
it is when the settlement made is TO rob us

Reed and Tariff Legi.Iation.
Washington Special


There are outcroppings of disposition
to antagoniZe the incoming administration
Reed quarters in favor of revenue legisla-
ton next winter in defiance of what is
commonly believed TO be the desire of the
President-elect TO defer tariff matters until
he can convene n new Congress with plenty
of time to consider the question and leg
islate to the better advantage of all inter-
estS concerned and the country at large
The Speaker is quoted expressing the
hope that the Fifty-fourth Congress NAV
pass n law TO increase the revenues in or
der that this Nation can hold up its head
among other nations of the world although
he and every other intelligent person
knows that the treasury at the present
time is bursting with cash and could not
be embarrassed by two years delay in the
enactment OF a new law, much less six or
eight months. True. the money was Dor
rowed. but IL is on hand and available just
the same.
Mr.. Dingley. author of the revenue meas
ure that passed the House last winter and
snagged in the Senate does not want his
own bill to become law. II did not satisfy
him when he reported Ii, and Ii pleases him
less now than Ii did then. This fact makes
the Reed position look peculiar, TO say the
least, and in way justifies the gossip
about his general unfriendliness toward the
next administration. II Is recalled in this
connection that the Speaker refused TO let
the national committee make speaking as
signments for him last summer and fall
insisting on conducting his own spelibnd-
ing tour In his own way and to suit his
own convenience.

THE TRUSTS AND THE LAW.
Ex-AttOrney-Generai Miller Thinks
the Statute Inadequate.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In the Journal of this morning, discussing
the subject of trusts you say: This the
so-called Sherman anti-trust) law was
passed in July. 1890 but il has never been
enforced. Encouragement Miller began
proceedings to enforce it soon after it was
passed. but the change of administration
came. and since then the law has been a
dead letter. So the trusts still flourish and
the people pay tribute to them
This is hardly fair. 1t is true that Attor-
ney-general Miller commenced a number
OF proceedings for the enforcement of that
statute and obtained i'm some cases of rel
atively minor Importance decisions favora-
bic TO the government. But the important
and test case was the attack upon the Su-
gar Trust i'm the Circuit Court for the
Eastern district of Pennsylvania. In that
case the Hon. Samuel +. Phillips. a lawyer
of very high standing, for many years So
lcitor-general of the United States, was
appointed by me as special counsel i'm con-
nection with the district attorney to bring
and prosecute the suit. That the case was
conducted with great ability and singleness
of purpose with view to the enforcement
of the law, alike during my term and that
of my successor, have never doubted. Yet
the decision. alike in the trial and Appellate
Courts. was against the government. The
failure of the case. i'm my judgment, was
due. not TO lack of zeal. energy or ability
i'm the prosecution. but to the inadequacy
of the statutes to meet the case. The SUI
preme Court (Mr. Justice Harlan dissent
ing) held that the operations Of the Sugar
Trust were not within the scope of the
statute. because such operations did not
primarily affect foreign or interstate COM
merce Q56 l.. S. ID 1t is probable that
like ruling would be made as to many,
perhaps most of the great trusts. If. un-
der the Constitution, law of wider scope
and more effective for the purpose desired,
can be enacted, the wise men of Congress
ought to frame and enact such law. In the
meantime the head of the Department of
Justice ought not to be subjected to CEN
sure for failing. by proceedings in the
United States courts, to suppress trusts
which the Supreme Court holds to be legal
in their character and not amenable to the
statutes of the United States.
