NOT FOR FRIENDS
Are We to- Eat What We Don't
Want

A famous physician, in a late article
on the subject OF health, speaking par
ticularly OF the value of good digestion
says:
Don't eat anything you don't want
even to please your friends.
Don't be afraid of microbes; they
will not hurt you.
"a healthy condition of the stomach
makes a healthy skin and a good COM
plexion.
Learn and practice good habits;
they are easy and most pleasant.
"A diet with an eye to acquiring
flesh should consist IF liquids-milk.
water, but not coffee or tea; no hot
breads; plenty of butter and cheese.
Above all, eat slowly and never ex-
ercise until half an hour after meals
Another says: Il have known weak
eyes cured by leaving off coffee. and
hundreds of other cases of nervous
troubles, like kidney complaints, dys-
pepsia, liver and heart trouble, and
bowel complications, directly relieved
by the abandonment of coffee and the
use of Postum Food Coffee.
The alkaloids of coffee are serious
poison to many people, and when one
finds disease coming on, it is high time
to stop the cause and take some nat
ural food like Postum Food Coffee,
which rebuilds the broken down nerve
centers all over the human body. Ten
days trial will prove the facts and fur
nish great relief to the sufferer.

INTERESTING POINT RAISED
May Result in Setting Buenaven-
tura Loose

Washington, April 2S.-The firing on
the Spanish merchantmen Buenaven-
turn in advance of a formal declaration
of war has raised a very interesting
point, which is being debated in the
diplomatic corps. The owners of the
vessel in New York have announced
their intention to appeal, and it is not
at all improbable that a vigorous de-
mand for redress from this government
may be prosecuted. They have notified
the French embassy here, through the
French consul at New York, of a pro-
test against the firing upon and seizure
of their vessel and the French embassy
in this city expects to receive formal
protest from them for submission to
the state department. Some members
of the diplomatic corps say they be-
lieve the vessel will be promptly re-
leased by this government in view of
the priority of the act to actual notifi-
cation which they hold should, on gen.
eral principles. have been given, and of
the fact that it preceded the actual
expiration of the time limit imposed
in the ultimatum of the United States.

chad RATHER AGAIN.
Further Enlightenment On a Highly
Important Question.

New York Sun: Our esteemed con-
temporary, the Albany Express, makes
a queer attack upon the old, good and
unexceptionable expression. had rath-
err" which it says is an error" that
cannot be successfully defended be-
cause it is and always will remain an
error, whoever and however many may
use it," We showed the other day
that had rather was and had long
been good English, used by the best
writer's. Let us hear the theory of
the Express:
IF this 'idiom' were to be admitted
to a legitimate place in the language,
it would be necessary to introduce into
the conjugatiOn of verbs a new tense,
for which a name would have to be
found. and which name would appear
as follows:
Il had be. Thou hadst be, He had be,
We had be, You had be, They had be.
1T may not be amiss here to offer
an explanation of how the error crept
into the language. Among the masses
there is always a tendency to shorten
expressions by Gliding letters in ordi-
nary conversation. The expression L
would rather was shortened to I'd
rather, and from that form was ex-
panded in writing, through carelessness
in some cases, through ignorance in
others, to / had rather because the
sound of the shortened expression sug-
gested had more readily than
WOULD
This idiom is legitimate English 1t
was admitted into the language some
hundreds of years ago, and it cannot be
crowded out by the misguided persons
who want to make over English to suit
their own ideas. For the benefit of the
Albany Express. which seems to have
had no time to inform itself about the
real character of the respectable ex-
preston which il assaiIs. we quote
from the Century dictionary:

century; followed by an infinitfve with.

years or so, the period during which
most of the best English literature has
been written, and it is just as good
today as it was when Shakespeare and
the makers of the King James Bible
used it.

language and English literature mag

knowledge and correctness by kicking

Oh, cruel rub
In vulgar parlance one like mine
Is termed a snub.
She liked a stately man and tall
Alasi my fate

CLEMENT TETEDOUX.
Noted Maestro May Visit Salt Lake
This Summer.

1t is likely that Tetedoux, the noted
maestro, formerly director of the Gou-
nod club, and who, until recently, has
been dividing his time between Paris
London and New York, may come to
Salt Lake in June and remain until
December. Tetedoux, who has last
been in Chicago, is vocal teacher
whom B. B. Young considered it an
honor to praise and the local instruct
ors, almost without exception, are de-
lighted at the prospect of his coming.
Mrs. Hamilton, Professor Stephens and
others are taking an active interest in
the matter, and that interest indicates
their own devotion to the divine art,
for in the coming of Tetedoux can but
raise the standard here, and il would
seem that not to be pleased at the
prospect indicates a very narrow view
or fear that the methods followed by a
professional, who does not want him to
come might appear in a, light not alto
gether favorable.
1t is known definitely that if Tete-
doux does come. he will lecture upon
the art of vocalization. Fuller details
will be at hand soon

FATHER DoRNEY, CHAPLAIN
Priest Selected to Shrive the Fight
ing Men of the Iowa.

Chicago, April 23.-Father Maurice j.
Dorney, pastor of st. Gabriers Roman
Catholic church. Chicago, today Sc
cured a commission from the United
States government as chaplain, and
will leave Monday TO join the fighting
men with Captain Robley D. Evans, on
the battleship Iowa, in front of Ha-
vana. Father Dorney is widely known
throughout this country and Ireland.
He is a particular friend of Michael
Davitt. the well-known Irish member
of parliament. Father Dorney was the
temporary chairman of the Philadel-
phia convention at which the Irish Ma
tional League of America was organ
lied and it was he who carried over
to London and delivered to Mr.. La
bouchere and Sir Charles Russell, now
lord chief justice of England. the orig
inal letters written by Piggott, which
proved the latter to have forged The
letters which he introduced in testi-
mony at the Parnell trial. The letters
carried by Father Dorney completely
overthrow the London Times case
against Parnell, and the day after their
introduction Piggott ran away to Spain,
where. a day or two later, he commit
ted suicide. The letter thus delivered
so timely had been for years in the
possession of Hon. Patrick Egan, who
was the treasurer Of the Land League
in Ireland, and who subsequently be-
came a citizen of the United States
and served as cur minister to Chile I'M
der the administration of President
Harrison.
When Mr. Egan discovered that the
letters which he had would completely
overthrow the London Times case and
vindicate Parnell. he hurried to Chi
cago and requested Alexander Sulli-
van, formerly president of the Irish Ma
tional League, to select someone to
bear the precious document in safety
to London. Mr.. Sullivan's selection
was Father Dorney. The result showed
how we'll he estimated the fidelity of
the loyal priest, who is now about to
enter his country's service.
Captain Evans was in command at
Valparaiso during the exciting times
when Minister Egan showed his mettle,
and it is thought that one of the results
of the friendship then formed is Father
Dorney's assignment at this time to
Captain Evans battleship, the Iowa

Utah'S Quota Is Four Hundred and
Twenty Men.
DETAILS NOT YET KNOWN
WILL BE RECEIVED BY GOV.
WELLS TOMORROW.
General Expectation Is That the Six
gun Battery Will Be Called Out,
But This Is Speculation Only
James j. Corbett Wants to Enlist
Here With the Utah Troops.

Under the presidents latest call fol
fire works of war with about 400 in
stead of $40 men.
The present strength of the state mi
litia, including the 6-gun battery now
being formed, is about 455, only a small
number over the total contingent called
for from Utah. OF course it is not
known by the governor what divisions
of the service will be required by the
secretary of war, whether the battery
and infantry companies, or only in
fantry. This, the governor says, will
be indicated When the order is re-
ceiVed from Washington on Monday.
Whatever may be asked for in the call,
the entire quota can be easily placed
In readiness for action. Recruits will
be promptly added to the infantry
forces, and 420 infantrymen could be
placed in the field within few days.
The general expectation is that, what
ever else goes, the 6gun battery will
be required at the front.
A SOLDIERS LOVE AFFAIR.

CURED at the Short Line depot just af-

gallant sergeant and "a charming
young lady. 1t was probably bat one
OF the many similar unrelated occur
FENCES that had a strong coloring of
romance. The young lady with unre-
strained eagerness paced the platform
until her eye fell upon the form of a
stalwart soldier. Then she exclaimed:
"Oh, JIM I've been looking for you"
The brave warrior hastily alighted
from the car step and embraced his
lady love with the affectiOnate saluta-
ton of MY dear Annie"
The sergeant rendered his arm to the
lady, and the couple made for the
outer edge of the assembled multitude
and paced the platform to and fro I'M
til the AL aboard" signal was sound
ed. Then a pathetic scene was wit
messed. The farewells were sighfully
said. Tears noistened the words of
parting and the lovers separated.
