THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.

Also Few Facts on the Same Subject
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienlc living, about vege-
tarianism and many other fads along
the same line
Restaurants may be found in the
larger cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank is in
his glory. and arguments and theories
galore advanced to prove that meat was
never intended for human stomachs, and
almost make Us believe that our sturdy
ancestors who lived four score years in
robust health on roast beef, pork and
mutton must have been grossly ignorant
OF the laws of health.
Our forefathers had other things to do
than formulate theories about the food

vanderbilts to Get Lions Share of

New York, Sept. 19.-The Journal OF
Commerce prints the following. 1T
was learned yesterday from an author1-
tative source that the railroads coming
to this port have entered into an agree
ment, the effect of which will be to pool
all their grain traffic The agreement
is not officially termed a pool, and 1t
will undoubtedly be conducted in such
a way to avoid a violation OF the in
terstate commerce law. But in practice
it will amount to the Vanderbilts get

West Shore roads about 55 per cent Of
all the alexandria, grain coming to
New York from Buffalo; while the Erie
will get 25 per cent to be distributed

OPPOSES ONE CENT RATE.
Passenger Agent Heaford Says it is
Demoralizing.


Denver, Sept. 19-George II. Heafford.
general passenger agent of the Chicago
Milwaukee & St. Paul who is lighting
the demand of the G. A r for a rate
campment to be held in Denver next
year, has issued a statement explaining
his stand on the subject. He is a G. A
R. man himself and a member OF the
Loyal Legion.
1t is possible that Mr. Heafford's an
tagonism to the proposed rate viii not
be very effective by reason OF his resig-
nation to take effect October L It is be-
heVed by many g. A r. men that his
successor will be favorable to the rate.
Mr.. Heafford's explanation Of bis stand
against the rate is as follows:
My individual opinion is that the de-
mand is not reasonable from any stand
point In the first place the G. A R.
people are not the only ones who use
thesexcursion rate; in fact, they are in
the minority, as compared with the to-
tai number of people who take advant-
age OF excursion rates made to cities
where the encampments are held.
If the rate could be made for the G.
A R. alone there is no question but that
all the roads would be glad to favor the
old soldiers; but the law says that all
must be served alike, and thousands
take advantage of the annual occasion
to go visiting or to travel on business
and the western railroads particularly
have not enough equipment to haul all
who would buy excursion tickets if the
rate was made 1 cent mile
Therefore the one-fare rate results in
limiting the number of excursionists to-
the extent that the roads can fairly well
accommodate almost everybody. where
assat a cheaper rate everybody would be
dissatisfied I am rather inclined to
think that the soldiers are getting too
old to want to parade, and that the
country has seen in Chicago the very
last grand parade OF the Grand Army of
the civil war. regardless of the rate
question

PATERNALlsM IN GLASGOW.
How the Scotch Capital Provides for
the welfare of It's
Citizens.

It is when he is single that the Glas-
gov workingman need spend little on
the necessaries of life. The corpora
ton has devised enormous common
lodging houses, at varying prices, but
much cheaper than corresponding
places in London. Private enterprise
has followed the municipal example.
The man can for 3h to six pence night
obtain accommodation of the most
comfortable kind. With little cubicle
to himself, and with abundant COM
mon rooms, everything he wants is at
hand, says the London Mail. There are
fires and cooking utensils for him, with
attendants TO cIean up after he has
done. He can buy raw food at cost
price and cook it himself; or he can if
he prefers, buy cooked stuff at low
rates.
If the Glasgow workman is left a
widower he can go to the municipal
family home, where each of his chill
dren will be cared for by trained nurses,
fed and tended while the father is earn
ing his living, for one shilling and ten
pence a week, in addition to the fathers
house rent of four shillings and two
pence per week. If the man dies the
wife can earn her living while finding
food and shelter for herself and her
children in the home at even lower
rates.

CHARGE FOR FRESH AIR.
Experiences of an American Family
who Were Travelling in
Germany.

Many have been the dolsful stories
of travellers returned from Europe
anent the extortionate charges i'm
posed upon long suffering Americans
in the lands across the Atlantic. And
now comes distinguished Chicagoan
who declares that in Germany recently
he was charged for fresh air, says the
Chronicle.
With his wife and family he was jour-
neying in railway train. The air in
the stuffy little compartment becom-
ing stale. the wife of the Chicagoan
asked him to communicate with the
guard. In each compartment in Euro
pean railway trains is handle connect
ed with bell rope leading to the
guards cab. Near the handle is posted
notice warning passengers that the
guard is not to be summoned except in
desperate cases, such as murder, ETC.,
under penalty.
The Chcagoan could not read Ger
man. but he knew that his wife wanted
fresh air. so he gave the grip a lusty
pull. The train. which was an express,
slackened speed and finally came to
full stop. The guard and the engine
driver rushed back eXcitedly, expecting
to discover something very dire in
deed. BY virtue of signs the Chicagoan
explained what he wanted. Thereat
he was greeted with storm of abuse
and he was very near being threatened
with personal violence. However, the
guard and the engine driver returned
to their posts and the train proceeded.
When the Chicagoan and his party ar
rived at their destination he was met
at the railway station by a jabbering
mob of officials, who promptly hailed
him before an august functionary, who
managed to inform him that his little
gayety with the bell cord would cost
him just so marks, which he must pay
or go to prison. The Chicagoan took
the former alternative.

CRIMES IN THE ARMY.
They Are Found to Dc Fewer DUR
ing Active Military OPP
eratiOns.

The tabulation of the cases of sui
cides and homicides which occurred
in the army during the years 1898
and 1899 are compared in the annual
report of Surgeon General Sternberg
with the cases which occurred during
the ten years, 1SSS97. Contrary to
the general anticipation, it is found
that there were among the troops
during the past two years relatively
fewer homicides than during the years
of the previous decade, and that the
mean annual ratio of suicides per
thousand men was about 2h times
greater during the decade of peaceful
garrison life than during the recent
period of active military service, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The average number of suicides per
year in an army of 27,116, for the ten
years, 1sSS-97, was II. The ratio per
thousand was .63 per cent. The
strength of the army in 1898 is given
at 147,795, the average number of sui
cides, 3S; and the percentage per
thousand 26. The strength of the
army in 1899 is given at 1O5,546, and
the number of suicides at 30: ratio
per thousand, rs per cent,
During the ten years from 1883 to
1897 the ho1nicides are given at 5.5
per cent, and the ratio per thousand,
20 per cent; for 1898, the number
of homicdes at 10, and the ratio per
thousand, .13 per cent; for 1899 the
number of homicides at 23, and the
ratio per thousand, .22 per cent.
