AN OBJECT LESSON.
In n Restaurant.

a physician puts the query: Have you
never noticed in any large restaurant at
lunch or dinner time the large number
of hearty, vigorous old men at the tables
men whose ages run from 50 to so years.
many of them bald and all perhaps gray,
but none OF them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common as
to have escaped your observation or COM

II you will notice what these nearly

that they are not munching bran crackers
nor gingerly picking their way through a
menu card Of new tangled health toSds; on
the contrary they seem to prefer a juicy

mutton. and even the deadly broiled lob
ster is not altogether ignored
The point OF all this IS that vigorous
old age depends upon good digestion ana
plenty of wholesome food and not upon
dieting and an endeavor to live upon bran
crackers
There is a certain class of food oranks

POLICE COMMISSION.

This city is not getting along very we'll
under the domination of its police COM
mission. Nothing but discord has followed
its creation and dlsagreements with the
police department have multiplied until
now the city marshal refuses TO pay any
attention TO its mandates and fatty de-
clines to recognize its appointees. Dis e
gust with this new-fangled feature in
municipal government has become general
in consequence and the chances are that
the next legislature Will be asked to strike
from the city charter the provision pro-
vidlng for its adoption.
