HOW AMERICANS EAT.
the Right Sort of Food ana
Plenty of Ii.


1t is cited as one of the explanations
Of Chauncey NJ. Depew's remarkable
youthfulness and vigor and ability 10
DO many things without weariness TO
himself or others that he is scientifc
eater; that he knows just what TO put
into his stomach and how much OF II 10
take. The menu at the SWEETEST ban
uuet NAV fairly glisten with the richest
prizes of the chef, but DIR. Depew gives
one swift glance down its mystifying
nomenclature, and, selecting one
probably the plainest of the lot, says;
That And when others have gorged
and stuffed and feel like Christmas tree
cornucopias, the doctor is as fresh as
a summer girl and his stomach as easy
as that of the prize baby who was
brought up on Cupid's infant food.
Much criticism has lately been direct
ed against our American hotel bills OF
fare by foreign visitors, especially those
who came over last fall and winter and
went back home and wrote about their
experiences. They found too much on
the list-too much sameness, too much
to the necessity of selecting what they
needed, and in that they have the SYM
pathy of all good Americans, for the
average bill of fare is a test of human
patience; but il is better 10 have too
much than too little. And II is especial
ly not fair to gauge the American appe-
tite by what Is on the hotel bill of fare
The citizen from the country who went
through the items seriatim and after
wards complained that il would hnve
been all right if he had stopped at TIE
watermelon and zee cream was not the
average American The people OF ft4
country eat much because they have
much to eat. The foreigners complain
that the habit of eating an American
breakfast is suicidal and unrefned. but
it SO happens that the man who can eat
the American breakfast has no need OF
doctors, and he is the factor who has
made this country what ii is. The very
fact that we have been able to evolve
from the broken-down and dyspeptie
and secondhand material sent TO these
shores from the other side race of SUI
perior people, with women more beau.
tiful than the world had hitherto
known, with men who have done more
things than any in the worlds history,
and haze been able to build up nation
greater than any on earth, is pretty
good proof that II Americans eat too
much they eat the right sort of food

Cumulative Value of Advertising.

Tie business of the Ripans
Chemical Company is in its seventh
year.
Each year has shown greater
increase in sales over the preced-
ing year.
The rate ofincrease is now much
more rapid that at any previous
time.
In January, 1897, the sales were
much larger than in any previous
month.
In February, 1897, the sales
were much larger than in January.
In March, 1897, the sales were
much larger than in February.
In April, 1897, the sales were
much larger than in March.
In March, 1898, the sales were
81, ,952 9S more than in the months
of January, February, March and
April, 1897, all added together.
The sales in January, February
and March, 1898, were 81, ,504 40
more than the total sales for the
entire 1892, '93, '94, '95, and '96,
all added together.
In no week in 1898 has the COM
pany failed to have a profit of more
than a thousand dollars on the
sales for the week over all expen-
ses, including advertising.
The par value of the stock is
500 share, but no share is known
that can be bought for $500
The company is at present earn
ing between $4,000 and SIS, 900
per year net, and the rate of in
crease apparently established
would carry the profits for 1899
above s200,000.-Printer's Ink,

Good of the Onion.

Onions are really sweeteners of the
breath after the local effects have
passed away, says one learned doctor.
They correct stomach disorders and
carry off the accumulated poisons of
the system. They provide blood puri-
fer that all may freely use. As a vermi-
fuge the onion cannot be surpassed. and
eaten raw will often check n violent
cold in the head. One small onion
eaten every night before retiring is
this well-known doctors prescription
for humorous affections of the head and
is highly recommended for sleepless-
ness. 1t acts on the nerves in a sooth-
ing way, without the injurious effects
of the drugs often applied. The heart
of the onion heated and placed in the
ear will often relieve the agony of ear
ache, while the sirup produced from
sprinkling a sliced onion with sugar
and baked in the oven is said to work
wonders for croup.-Troy Times.

Oysters Famed in the shell.

Take large and highly favored oys-
ters, such as yoa would select for a fry.
Wash them clean and place shells and
all in pan. the round shells down. Put
in the oven and soon You will see the
oysters begin TO open slightly. When
this takes place. remove them from the
fire and take off the top shell very care
fully and see that you retain as much
of the oyster juice as possible. Deposit
on each oyster a small piece Of the best
table butter. little cracker dust and a
pinch of salt. Return them to the oven
in the lower shell ouly and let them
cook for Is or 90 minutes. Serve in the
shell, with slices of lemon. Oysters
cooked in this way have the oyster fla
vor heightened by having slight taste
of the shell impaired to them.-Good

cords in a number of varieties can be

Rows of black satin ribbon in gradu-

hardly necessary to say that such n

of court to enforce the request; but
doubt the propriety Of giving the rail-
way commissioners absolute power to
make schedules of rates. as that is as
Stunning a function belonging to the leg
islature I am in doubt as to the pro-
priety of creating a new law officer to act
as attorney in cases of complainants
against the railway companies, cited to
appear before the board. Litigants be-
fore that board should stand on the
same footing with the litigants in court
and so long as an attorney general is
employed to look after the interests of
the state, I can see no need for creating
another law office for such cases. It
would virtually make the railway COM
missiOners a, court whose costs would be
paid out of the public treasury.
The questions involved are very seri-
Gus ones and must be treated without
partisan bias and with the idea of best
promoting the public good. The doc
trine that the state has the right to con-
troll railroads was established by the
Republican party years ago. The ques-
ton now is one of details and the prime
question to determine is how to protect
the people from undue encrOachments
by the railways, and to prevent unjust
legislation against the railways While
the interests of the shippers of the state
are to be carefully considered. vet in all
legislation looking to the control of the
railways, the probable effect of such
legislation on the employees of the vari-
GUS roads must also be carefully con-
sidered. Railway employees are no in

Sunday only a few of them were closed.
On Monday morning he summoned a
police captain before him and asked
him why he didn't close the saloons the
day before.

tain in his Irish brOgue, we can't close

" All right, Mr.. Roosevelt said the
captain.
1.-THE next Sunday half of the 1900
saloons in New York were closed to the
utter establishment of nearly every one.
The following Monday morning Mr.
Roosevelt summoned the same captain
before him and said: Captain, why
don't you close these saloons on Sun
day, as I told you
" We'll, Mr.. Roosevelt, we did close
half Of them yesterday and that means
we will get at the other half next Sun
day
And they did close them.

PIP. ELDERS OPINION
On the Special Session Ideals
Against It

p. P. Elder of ottawa, one of the best
known Populists in Kansas, says OF
Governor Leedy's special session:
I don't see any necessity for Gov.
Leedys calling special session even il
he gets enough encouragement from the
members of the legislature to lead him
to believe the railroad bill could be
passed. We've got along year now
without any railroad legislation and We
can get along another year. Why, no
one wants a special session but Fred
Close and the other Topeka fellows who
get their hash and drinks easy during
the session. and some of the members
of the legislature themselves. That
was proved to me during our recent
committee meeting in Topeka, when my
resolution against a special session was
put to a vote. The only vote recorded
against it was that of Fred Close. No,
the state had better save the money
it would expend in a special session,
which most likely would result in moth
ing being done.
1T is extremely doubtful if Leedy
calls a special session. You see every
man who goes up there has a bill of
his own or a different idea at least
from every other man and they would
spend their full allotted time, costing
the state several thousand dollars, and
probably leave without any railroad
legislation being passed"

Captain Siverd I thought that they
ought to be killed and seriously dis
cussed the question all night long with
vast mob on the outside waiting my
decision. And, Difference to law and
my preconceived hesitancy to mob vio-
lence are the only reasons why did
not consent to their being killed. I had
no moral compunction that restrained
me in the Wrestle with myself since 1
believed that it would be no more harm
to kill them than it would be to XIII
mad dogs. That they deserved to be
hanged then and there goes without
saying. And if they should be par
dOned, knowing all the facts as do
and knowing the high-minded, pure
heartedness and excellence of the men
they brought to an untimely end I shall
ever regret that I did not march out
of my Office that night and call the le-
g1ons waiting me, when they would
have been hung as they deserved to be.
I do solemnly protest against such
clemency with all the power and vehe-
mence with which I can coin language
to describe. I am, however, impOtent
to coin words to describe the enormity
of the outrage that would be perpetrat-
ed by their pardon.
In the case of KilIion he was found
abusing his wife and the officer, an old
man, inOhenSive and harmless, went
down to arrest him, and he, a giant in
strength, diSarmed the officer and killed
him with the officers own weapon

meditation murder was no less deliber-

These are three culprits to which
mercy should never be shown. They
should be Gagged like wild beasts and
treated as the enemies of mankind and
incarcerated so long as the judgment of
the courts cOnsi gued them.
Mercy is the attribute of the human
heart. And, no man would go farther
than would to seek clemency for those
who unfortunately transgress the law
in hours of passion, indiscretion and
human weakness. Born and bred I'M
der Christian laws, surrounded by all
the evidences of a civilization of the
high order, in cold blood they took hu-
man life. The idea that they should
