DANGERS OF EATING.
Senate Committee Discovers a Lot of
Disagreeable Things.

Disagreeable Things.
Senator Mason has been sitting at
New York as smelling committee for
a week or ten days under the authori-
ty of the Senate to find out something
about the adulteration of food. The
evidence that has been given him by
some of the witnesses is likely to drive
us all to starvation. Persons have tes-
titled that ordinary white bread Is
deadly poison and that the many cases
of heart failure that we hear of nova
days are directly due to the large con-
sumption of that staple and other
breadstutfs. Corn meal and oatmeal,
bread and milk and griddle cakes are
deadly, while soda crackers are more
destructive to the human family than
dumdum bullets or dynamite bombs.
Meat and potatoes have been demon
strated to be unfit for food; coffee and
tea contain a tannin that destroys the
lining of the stomach; fish are unclean
and unhealthful, because the waters in
which they live have been polluted by
tanbark and sewage of our cities; all
garden sass is unwholesome, be-
cause of the fertilizers that feed the
ground in which it grows. Chickens.
turkeys and geese are worse than beef
and mutton, because of the food they
consume. Water and milk are the most
prolific producers of disease germs. All
our cured meats are impregnated with
acids, and man might as well eat
clay of anthracite coal as such an in
digestible thing as cheese. In fact, IL
the testimony Senator Mason has TAX
er is true, there is nothing fit to eat in
all the universe, and the only way to
avoid being poisoned is to pay your
board up to the end of the week and
quit eating.

HOW TO WOO SLEEP.
Rules BY Which Victims of insomnia
May Find Relief.

- VICTIMS lnsOnnAA
May Find Relief.
The immediate cause of insomnia is
abnormal activity of the brain, which
draws an undue amount OF blood to
that organ. Cold feet usually accom-
pany heated brain. To re-establish
normal conditions the tension must
be removed and the blood drawn from
the brain to the extremities, thus
equalizing circulation. A scientist who
studies brain flag recommends gym
nnstic exercise to precede repose. The
following exercises. each repeated sew
eral times. are recommended: Stand
ing normally, inhale slowly. Vigor-
ously stretch the arms out horizon
tally from the shoulders. energizing
them to the finger tips. At the same
time rise on the balls OF the feet. After
remaining motionless for few mo-
ments, slowly relax the arms, return
to the normal poise and exhale.
Stretch the arms in front of the body
and repeat the exercise; also stretch
them directly upward and repeat.

Net to Rrrak Waves,

A series of experiments is about to
begin at Havre with Baron d'Alessan-
dro's invention of floating nets for use
in storms for moderating the force of
the waves. The invention is said to be
superior in effects to oil. Trials were
made at Cherbourg. which proved that
floating nets would be of enormous
value to vessels at sea in storm, as
well as for the defense of exposed
coasts and fishing stations against
heavy seas.
Baron d'Alessandro has improved his
invention and is now convinced that
well buoyed and ballasted nets will
withstand the most powerful currents
and violent tempests.

Derivation of the Word Sunday.

From the woman's Home Compan-
ion: The word Sabbath" is a He
brew term for period as well as quail
ity of time. and means rest" In the
Bible it is used only with this mean
ing. Periods of one year or of seven
years were thus characterized. Every
seventh day was observed by the He
brews as a weekly Sabbath" In ad-
dition to this day others were ap-
pointed in which the obligation to
cease from labor was as binding as the
observance of the weekly Sabbath"
SUNDAY" is so named from the day
which was dedicated to the worship of
the sun. Christian nations observe 1t
as their sabbath; but Sabbath" is
not Sunday"

No Ham for Him.

From Chambers Journal: The pa

for life, but had been defeated. All
hope of recovery was gone, and my
friend said to the dying mans wife, at

strictions on diet. You may let him

good woman, who was relieved by the
Doctors permission-for she had found
her husband by no means tractable

stairs and said: rs there owt tina
could fancy to eat? The doctor says
tina san hev owt tina fancies now"

AGENT BRUCE'S FRIENDS.
Attorney Claimed Too Many Were on
the Jury.

Lille M. Shepperd sued the Citizens
Street-railroad Company for damages in the
Circuit Court. When the case was called
for trial last week Attorney Beckett. who
represented the plaintiff. asked permission
to dismiss the suit, intimating that he did
not like tire complexion" Of the jury. The
suit was dismissed, and on the following day
1t was filed in Room 2 Superior Court.
Yesterday morning Attorney Beckett APP
peared before Judge feathers and asked for
a change of venue. 1t was granted and the
Judge said he would send the case to Hen
bricks county. Yesterday afternoon At
torney Latta. representing the street-car
company, came into court and entered an
objection to the case going to Hendricks
county. He said the plaintiff had lived in
Hendricks county and many of her friends
and relatives reside in that county. The at
torney asked the court to set aside the or
der granting the change of venue, ANNOUNCE
ing that he would file an answer in abate-
ment. Judge feathers said he would vacate
the order pending the filing of this answer.
Attorney Beckett in defending his side of
the case made the statement that he had
taken the case from the jury in the Cir
cult Court because there were too many
of George Bruce's friends on it. Bruce is
the claim agent of the Citizens Street-rail-
road Company. Beckett said further that
Judge Allen had approved his course in re-
moving the case. Claim Agent Bruce in
d~ignantly denied that he had attempted to
get any OF his friends on the jury in street.
railroad cases.
Yes declared Attorney Latta, tits get
ting to be a common thing for somebody to
charge the Street-railrOad company with
setting up juries and I'm getting tired
of it."

BALL At THE OLD STAND.
Works Board VIII Not Cut Up the
Park This Season.

All fears for the decline of Indianapolis
may now be set at rest, for it will have
a ball club this season. The Board of Public
Works yesterday r%escinded its action in re-
solving to cut a street through the ball
park this summer, and the Ritzinger heirs,
who own the property, agreed to lease the
park to the ball club for another season. The
plan was to cut the park up into lots, but
this will not be done until next October.
The owners Of the ball club had decided tina
there would be no money in 1t for them II
they had to construct another ball park,
and had it not been fixed as 1t has been the
cranks would have gone hungry for their
sport. The owners Of Newly Oval refused
to lease the place to the ball club, which
would have entailed destruction of the track
after the L. A. W.. decided to continue in
control Of racing.
The change in affairs means that the man
agement of the ball club must work hard
TO get the club together and in condition
for the season. Manager Allen has several
deals on a He and President Colt will
go to the schedule meeting at Milwaukee
next Wednesday. The players have been
notified that all is well, and the matter of
signing contracts win be rushed through.
Manager Allen and President Colt say the
team will be stronger than ever" The play
ers will come together the first Of April.

Farmers, Grievances.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
The farmers of Jay county are unanimous
ly in favor of county and township reform,
and there are two other matters that they
would like to call the attention of our law
makers to that are of great Importance to
the taxpayers Of the county. The first is
the matter of lawyers breaking into jails
to defend criminals and then bringing ex-
brilliant bills against the county for their
services. Lawyers who do this are, as a
general rule, about ifth-class lawyers, who
have little or no business in our courts, and
the allowances made to them by the com
missiOners in a single case are more than
their services would be worth in a life
time.
The second matter is the money sharks
that are robbing the people by taking un-
lawful rates of interest in the way of com
missions and covering up their enormous
ill-gotten gains by perjury every time the
assessor calls on them TO avoid the pay.
