Interest
Shasta Democrat: The new year
oy,ens under most auspicious circum-
stances for Redding. Our growth
within the past year has been gradual
and is plainly manifest The mines
throughout the county from which we
receive our greatest benefit, are all
looking up better than they ever nave
before New properties are being
orened and developed and old ones are
being improved and successfully
worked. The advent of smelling IN
the county by the Mountain Mine Com
papy has been the means of proving to
the world at large what our county Is
CAPABLE of producing in the way OF
wealth. Foreign capital is becoming
interested in our mines and 1T is plain
ly evident that 1897 enters an era Of
great advancement in our mining in
GUstries and the prosperity for our city.
INTERFERENCE.
Femet News: While the United
States may not have a legal right ac-
cording to treaties. to interfere in the
horrible butchery under the guise of
war that is going on down in Cuba,
it certainly has the moral right TO do
so. 1t might not be the best policy to
rush in with Gatling guns, but as this
country has established quite reputa-
tion as peacen1aker it might use lit-
tie of it's tact to good advantage down
in that part of the world.
AN OBJECTION.
| Winters Express: An incident Illus
| trating the value of Winters dried
fruit came to light the other day.
| The crop of a well known orchard near
here was sold in sacks because the
owner had no facilities for putting it
up in packages under a distinctive
brand. Having a curiosity to know
what became of the fruit, which was
uncommcnly good, he found that it was
| shipped to San Jose and then used for
"facings" for fancy boxes packed under
we'll known brand. The grower did
not realize 80 per cent of the actual
value of his crop.
| A CALIFORNIAN" ALL"
| Redlands Citrograph: And again we
desire to reiterate, in the most emphatic
| manner, that if Mr.. Mckinley con-
cludes to take a Californian into his
Cabinet as one of his advisors, We shall
be extremely glad. And we don't pro-
pose to be impudent enough to suggest
to him that Mr.. anybody is the proper
man for the place. A dozen have been
named, all good men, men who would
honor our State and the President, but
it is the perfection of impudence to tell
Mr.. Mckinley that he should choose
this man or that to be his intimate
friend and counselor. We simply de-
sired to see some Californian honored.
That's ALL
THE COMING MOTHERS.
Oakland Tribune: It was shown some
time ago that the girls of the High
School in this city were larger than the
average of girls in many Eastern insti-
! tutions. Now comes the Philadelphia
| Ledger making the case for
the young women of that city.
At very recent debutant teas
given to introduce the buds of
! the season, wide comment has
| been made upon the phenomenal size of
this new generation of women. In eight
out of ten cases these very young girls
are larger and taller than their mann
mas. Five feet eight OF nine inches is
no longer regarded as an unusual
hight for a debutante, and this Ju-
mosque statute is supplemented as a
rule by broad, sllapely shoulders, a
firm round waist, with harmon NOUS pro-
| portions of arms, hips and bust. The
new woman from a merely physical
standpoint Is not only fair to look upon,
but promises well with her clear eyes.
rosy skin and steady nerves as a
wholesome mother of the coming race.
CABINET REPRESENTATIO
| Stockton Mail: Whatever the out
come, however, it is quite certain that
the California Republican Congressional
delegations resolutions and recommen-
dations will have no influence with the
| President elect; no more, at least, than
would the request of any other equal
number of leading Republican citizens
of the State The alleged object Of the
delegation's conference was to stifle
chickering's and revilings at home. If
| this is so we hope they are pleased with
the result. They need but turn their
eyes toward Sacramento to see how
splendidly they succeeded. It was a
great strategic move in politics.
IT NEED NOT SHORTEN LIFE.
Stockton Independent: There is little
wonder that people suffer so much from
indigestion because the advice of physi-
clans is so conflicting. After people had
read with interest Of the go without
your breakfast" cure and the wonders
of healing it accomplished, comes IAN
eminent physician of the East" saying
that breakfast should be the heartiest
meal of the day. He cites many exam
! pies of the healthfulness of the habit,
/ and says the reasons farmers suffer
from malaria is that they so generally
work an hour or two before breakfast.
For many years students of the human
system and it's proper food have de-
clared that coffee Injuries the nerves and
impedes digestion, while others argue
as plausibly the active principle of cof-
! fee, cafein, is necessary to repair nerve
waste. For nearly century one school
of doctors has condemned animal food
as degrading as well as injurious to
| health and their latest followers say
| fruit and nuts are the only food that
will give long life in perfect health, cure
rheumatism, neuralgia, indigestion and
malaria. Now many regular" physi-
clans keep patients with impaired diges-
ton on a diet of meat. bran-bread, milk,
| eggs and kindred food Supposedly
| learned men say the last meal of the day
should be light and be eaten at least
three hours before going to bed. Another
class, presumed to be equally learned,
says hearty meal just before retiring
| is conducive to sleep; sleep is an aid to
| digestion and that to go to bed hungry
