Not long ago a prominent lecturer on
cooking advanced the remarkable idea
that bread is an article that should be
sparingly INDUCED, or, better still,
omitted from the bill of fare, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. The argu-
ment submitted to back up the theory
was rather misty, and is not supported
by other authorities. One of the latest
fantastic notions in diet is that salt is
a slow poison, and that discarding 1t
will improve the health. An cid fancy
ascribes wrinkles to the use of pepper,
and sauces are under the ban of some
writer's. Meats. OF course, are con-
dc mined by vegetarians. A recent au-
thor declares that large number OF
Americans are poisoned. Tea and
coffee are often cut off by physicians.
and a distinguished English doctor has
lust incorporated in his condensed rules
of health a warning to adults to refrain
fem unboiled milk. The menu rapidly
disappears under this process, and the
articles retained are by no means safe
from further assault. One philosopher
comes forward to advocate single
meal day, which is no great matter
after the surrender of bread, salt, meats,
sugar and all standard table beverages,
including milk.

cRoKERiAND THE 400"


Mr.. and MRS.. Richard Croker have
Belmont; have hobnobbed with
New York's most exclusive set; have
passed through the sacred portals that
lead to society,", portals that obey no
sound but that of open Sesame" And
they did not stand on the outside cry
ing, open. wheat; open, barley" to
those portals that obey but the one
They achieved in a moment what others
spend. years if not their whole lives in
trying to ACCOMPLISHING entree to So
ciety Lord and master of political
fortunes is Mr. Croker in New York,
and now he is suddenly become the
social lion. What a splendid example of
the saying. "All things come to him
who knows how to wait Have Mr..
and Mrs. Croker been waiting for this?
If they have none knew they were
waiting, and when it came they took
it as a matter of course. And were
they dazed with the splendor of the
halls and the grand ways of those who
graced them, brilliant in attire, sup
posed to be still more brilliant in con-
versation? Not at all. They moved
about and mingled with the gay COM
pany like those to the manner born
The butterflies of fashion could neither
make Croker wonder nor hesitate nor
question where he was or what his sur
roundings, for he is too familiar with
the war eagles of politics. He knows
men and life as the devotees of fash
ion never can. He may not be, in fact
is not, a great man, but he is a man
of power among men and bends them
to his will And what is there in society
that can discount such a man? Among
women, who are the essential elements
of society, such men are admired. And
if Mr.. and Mrs. Croker shall follow up
their first social triumph it is not at all
improbable that he will become one of
the most popular men among the 400"
His first great social triumph, which
came to him without self-seeking, is
but the homage that wealth and fash
ion pay to power. Surely wonders will
never cease when the most exclusive
social set in the United States receive
Boss" Croker with open arms.
