The Paper of the People,

BALTIMORE, MD.

A newspaper is an educator; there
are all kinds of educators, but the man
who spends money judicionsly and lib
orally is better able to impart bis
knowledge than the man who has little
or nothing to spend.
The Sun is the highest type OF a
newspaper.
The SUNS reports from all parts OF
the United States are unsurpassed.
The Suns Gable Service is the finest
known; the troubles in the Philippines
and in South Africa demand competent
correspondents and vast expenditure OF
money and labor in getting the news.
When you get The Sun you get news
and intelligent presentation of facts
with it, as well as carefully prepared
articles of editorial writers of highest
standing. When you read daily paper,
whose principal recommendation is its
cheapness, you get the dregs-gener-
ally very poor dregs at that.

Not a Generals Egg.

The freshness of eggs is carefully
graded in this country, but our distinc-
lions are surpassed in delicacy by those
long since in vogue among the British
residents of India.
Soon after Arthur Wellesley, after
ward the Duke of Wellington, was ap-
pointed a major-general for his great
services in India, he happened to stop
in Calcutta. At breakfast the hero was
served with boiled eggs. He took one,
broke the shell, and dropped it with an
air of disgust.
"Laurell," he cried to his valet, what
do you mean by giving me bad eggY
The valet hurried to his master, and
examined the egg with the utmost seri-

Kitchener was made commander-in-
chief Of the forces in Egypt. He led a
successful expedition up the Nile
against the Khalifa, safely conducting
his troops up cataracts and through
marauding tribes and burning deserts
until Omdurman was reached. Here
was fought a terrific battle between
the Anglo Egyptian troops and the
dervishes, the latter being cut down
like grass before the scythe. In one
charge the dervishes lost 1000 men
and when the battle was over 10000 of
their dead and dying strew the ground.
The Khalifa and his chiefs were fugi-
tives and have recently been killed.
Kitchener, on returning home after
this brilliant expedition, became the
popular idol. He is the youngest ma,
Jor general in the British army.

Just q short while ago we, meaning
the American people, were Informed
that the primary cause of our longev-
ity and general good health was the
fact that we ate hearty breakfasts and
prepared ourselves for the days labors
with n eood meal. 1t was shown and
proved beyond dispute that the human
machinery needed a goOdly supply of
fuel to run the engine during the day
and that the best time to lay in this
supply was at breakfast ThereupOn
the American people began to eat
heartily of toast, griddle cakes, cere-
ais, etc. That is, those who read the
article and were struck by its force
did those things they were told We're
essential for the preservation of their
health, strength and life. Now comes
another authority" and says that the
American breakfast is too heavy and
that the first hearty meal of the day
should not be eaten until noon. This
later authority" proves" his case just
as positively as the other, and there
will be men and women who will heed
the advice and starve themselves half
a day under the belief that they are
doing themselves a favor. All Of which
recalls to mind that If the American
people did everything that they were
told to do and did not do the things
that they were told not to do, always
by medical authorities" every minute
would be used to 90 something con-
Trajectory to that which had been done
the preceding minute.
