OVER THE WHITE HOUSE.
Old Glory VIII Float Every Sunday
During the War.

The spectacle of flags raised over the
Executive Mansion and the State, War,
and Navy Department Building yesterday
occasioned not a little surprise among
the more observant citizens and gave rise
to numerous queries concerning flag eti-
quette in war times
Since the late war it has been an un-
written law that flags shall not be raised
over the White House nor over depart
ment buildings on Sunday. So far as the
State. War. and Navy Departments are
concerned, they have not hitherto been re-
garded as in commission on Sunday. and
hence the absence of the flag on the dome
Of the building jointly occupied by them,
Yesterday the President ordered the flag
raised over the White House, and sub
sequentiy the Secretary OF War issued a
similar order for the State. War and
Navy Building. Like orders have not yet
been given the other departments, but
such step may follow. and may even
include the Capitol.
This is nothing more nor less than a
patriotic measure, born Of the thought
that Old Glory should never cease to
float over the nations executive build
ings while the nation is al war.
Only one flag was raised over the State,
War and Navy Departments yesterday,
but next Sunday there will be five. as or
week days They viii be raised at
o'clock instead Of at sunrise.
This is a departure from a flag custom
that has been in vogue since the civil war
and 1t is not clearly remembered whether
or not during the rebellion flags were
raised by official order in the National
| Capital.

TRIED TO SHOOT THE RAPIDS.
Partial Success of Barrel Expert
Mt Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls. June 12-RObert Leach,
of Watertown. today attempted to do
what Carlisle d. Graham did. but only
rel in which to go over the Horseshoe
Falls and today tested il by going through
the rapids
It was about O'Clock when Leach en-
tered the barrel The manhole cover was
placed in position and a boat started out
from the shore toward midstream with
the barrel in tow.
When well out in the stream the barrel
was set free. Leach in his barrel was al
the mercy of the current. Slowly the bar
rel drifted downstream. bat it was not
caught by the main current and il swung
in toward shore. The boat put ont and
again towed the barrel out in the river.
This time it was caught by the down
current. The barrel rode the waves nice
ly. The course at first was about mid
stream and then it inclined TO the Can
adam side.
Only a few times did the crests of some
of the larger waves bury the craft out of
sight.
Straight down the stream it went. and
as it approached the whirlpool all thought
it was going right into il. However,
Leach's barrel was caught in the eddy
of the Canadian side just above the whirl-
pool and there ii floated for some little
time. Those VINO watched il closely no
ticed the manhole cover move and then
Leach's head appeared TO tell that he was
alive. By this time men had hurried
along and in the course of an hour the
barrel was caught and Leach landed He
was unhurt. He carried about 400 pounds
of lead and iron as ballast in the barrel.
Air was admitted through two holes. Net
ting kept Leach from striking the sides
hard enough to hurt him.

WARS CONVERSATIONS.
An Interesting Sermon by Rev. II.
II. NayIor.


AIT McKendree Methodist Church last
night Rev. H. r. Naylor spoke on WAR
and Its Compensations taking for his
text these words, found in Psalms xx:12-
I'VE will rejoice in Thy deliverance and in
the name Of the Lord we will set up our
banners"
He said in part: THE government Is
confronting national crisis today and we
are too ready to criticise the actions of
our officials. As mother feels distress
over a son who has gone to the front, so
does the government, increased hundred
fold. Let us be kindly in our prayers and
our sympathies for our government and
our soldters in this struggle for right and
freedom. Let US leave the cause to God
and to the heads of the different depart
ments and let us exercise patience. Let
US trust more to faith and remember that
whatever the result may be, our igno-
rance is not a measure of Gods ability.
The efficiency of prayer is found in the
history of nations, and here are a few
glorious examples: David's victory over
Ammon, when he made the declaration
which is the text of my discourse.
As to the compensations in this Span
ish-American war, the outcome of which
is certain today, there are many.
at will first of all show us that God
is always with the right andraford a
means Of grace. In this wars God is
molding destiny and destroying the

God that the Americans have a hand in
this glorious deed. There will be no

THE Fooos WE EAT.
Various Kinds and what They Are Sever
ally Good For.


Nature supplies us with two complete
foods, milk and eggs which contain in
the proper proportions all the necessary
clements for the sustenance of our bod
ies. As these are the only complete
foods it is necessary in the absence to
have mixed foods, and it is in the mix
ing that mistakes occur, because the fat
forming, muscle forming and other
parts are tnken in wrong proportions,
some in excess and others the reverse.
Left to his own taste primitive man in
variahly selects tho best food. This in
stinot, however, is defective nc the pres
ent day. For children food rich in bone
forming substances is necessary. Among
muscle forming foods the following arc
the best and most common: Oatmeal
porridge, with rich milk and whole
meal bread buttered; meat is a highly
condensed food of this GLASS. TO men Of
sedentary occupation free use Of meat
is injurious For men engaged at hard
manual labor generous meat diet is
admirable.
Vegetables contain but little nourish-
ment, but are usefGl as blood purifiers
and also supply bulk to the food, which
is necessary to give the consumer salts
faction. Milk should never be taken
with meat, because they are both rich
in one substance Tea should not be
taken with meat either, because it
ronders the meat tough and indigesti-
BILE. Eeef ranks first as muscle former
and mutton next. Pork makes a very
digestible dish, and fowl and bacon are
a very useful and pulatable dish Cere-
ais enter largely into our diet and arc
of much value, because they supply food
or starch as well as muscle food. PotG-
toes provide little nutriment, but with
plenty cf milk, which supplies the pre-
else ingredients they lack, good diet
is formed.
Sugar is we'll worthy Of notice, aud
the child's love of it is q perfectly
healthy instinct ana should always be
gratified in reason. fruits are good
blood purifiers and should be considered
as essentials rather tLuu luxurios. Beef
tea contains scarcely any nutrinent
whatever and is almost purely stimu
liant. A dog fed ON becf tea starved to
death, while another fed Cn refuse meat
throve. Tea, injurious il tGEen in eX-
cess, provides. il taken in moderation,
a most refreshing drink. Many scientists
recommend its use about two hours Le-
fore our principal meal and without
food. Coffee is stiuulant, unlike al
others, in fact that 1t is followed by no
reaction. 1t stimulates the brain and is
called an intellectual drink. Cocoa de-
serves to be classed as a food. Pitts

the husband became entitled to the
wife's goods and chattels, to the rentals
and profits of her lands, to her earnings
and to the custody Of her person. In re-
turn he was bound only to supply her
