The Two Associated to a Lamentab1e
Degree in Amcrica.s

From The Philadelphia Medical Journal
No one who has taken the trouble to
scan the average American bill of fare can
fail to recognize the importance Of the fry
ing pan with US; friend nam or bacon and
eggs. fried oysters fried potatoes. fried
steaks. and so on, ad nauseam, seem 10 be
staple articles of food particularly in city
restaurants, In which so many business
and professional men get their monday
iuncheons. The cause Of this is probably
mainly hurry; the customer wants some
thing hot and fresh Immediately and the
restaurant keeper can supply this demand
with less expense in time, trouble, and fuel
by serving fried meats and potatoes than
by serving the more wholesome broiled or
baked foods; the result is the development
of an abnormal. depraved appetite and
ruined digestion for a lamentably large
number of people.
II is not difficult TO understand why
fried foods are so indigestible If we take
the trouble to study the physiology OF d.
gestion. The proteids which are the chief
nutritive constituents of meat. oysters.
fish, and eggs. in order to be digested and
assimilated must be acted upon by the gas
trio or pancreatic Juices, and before this
can take place the layer of fat which has
covered and permeated the moFsel in fry
ing must be removed. This Is accom-
plished by the process of emulsificatlon,
which means the expenditure OF a large
amount of digestive energy.
The butter applied 70 Droiled meats is
far less pernicious for not only is butter
the. most easily emulshed of the fats, but
IL Is not soaked in by gradual heating.
as Is the case with most fried foods. The
condition of the fried starchy foods like
potatoes is very similar, for in order that
the starch may be changed into assmila-
bio grape sugar 1t must be acted upon
by the amylopsin Of the pancreatic juice.
What can be done 10 lessen the dried
food nuisance? Perhaps nothing so long
as present conditions exist; so long as the
highest ideal of the people is to accumu-
late dollars rather than 10 develop and
preserve healthy bodies which shall be
the servants of healthy minds Yet if
those who teach physiology in our public
and other schools understood their subject
and It's practical applications as
they should; II there we're more
schools in which wholesome, eco
nomcal cookery were taught as
II should be; IL physicians took every. op-
portunity 10 impress such facts of practi-
cal hygienic importance, as they should.
there can be no doubt that by some sensi-
Bile and well Informed people the fried
abomina lions would be avoided.

came from the lessening of the amount
which the crimp could secure. But

STORIES TOLD BY BRYAN.
Anecdotes with which His New
England Speeches Were EnIivened.


From the New York World
The down-east people have thoroughly
enjoyed Mr.. Bryans humorous stories
The following are some of the yarns which
captivated the crowds he addressed:
The Mule who Beat the freshman.
1.-THE Republicans who are interested in
trusts are interested in politics and legis-
lation for their own advantage, and this
reminds me of story. An Irishman sat
in a buggy driving a mule. The mule be-
gan to kick and got his hind legs over the
dasher; then the Irishman said: We'll, IL
you want to get in, l want to get out"
Defines Syndicate.
ut has been interesting to me to see
men who are afraid that we would have
a 5O-cent dollar now willing to stand by
corporations, some of whom don't have 10
cents to the dollar of money, the rest of
il being water. If all the water was
squeezed out of the stocks we would have
the food. The watering of stock has be-
come so common that somebody has de-
fined a syndicate to be a body of men en-
tirely surrounded by water"

mon she'll or shrapneI would not be ac-
oepted on such a test.
One OF the latest experiments with the
Gathmann shell was made at Sandy Hook
on May g. 1899. The object Of the test
may Is best explained in the words Of the
inventor, as follows:
We desire to prove that even though
a gun should burst in firing no explosion
or defamation CT the main charge Of gun
cotton in our shell will occur. To dem
onstrate this we propose 70 put one or
more OF these guns in deep pits, load them
with an oTereharge Of snokeless powder,
put In a charge containing about 100
pounds Of gun cotton. with fuse at
tached, choke up tbs bore Of the
gun with sand and completely
bury it in the pit AID then fire it. The
result will. Of course. be to burst the gun
and set OF the fuse; Sut we claim that
no harm viii be done to the main charge
Of gun cotton. We are moved 20 ask this
largely because Of the late explosion by
smokeless powder Of a 10-inch gun. We
wish TO demonstrate the extreme safety
OF wet gun cotton, even under the extraor-
cinary circumstance Of the complete rup-
ture Of the gun
This experiment ike many Others
failed 10 demonstrate what was claimed
and was not repeated, though the repre-
sentative Of the GathmanE Company ex-
pressed his intention OF so doing. which,
however. he has refrained from doing.

remained for thirty-ive minutes. AT the

LONDON. May 9.-Although no official
dispatches from General Roberts have been
made public by the War once today. there
is every reason to believe that the British
campaign in the Orange Free State is being
most successfully prosecuted.
In lieu Of official reports from the front
several news dispatches Of a generally sat
isfactory character have been received.
indicating steady progress OF the English
forces iG the wake Of the flying burghers.
\ despatch from Smaldeel says II at the
Beers are reported 70 be retiring from the
Zand River. where, it has been generally
believed, they would make a determined
stand in force against the further advance
Of General Roberts army.
The mystery concerning the movements
Of General French has been cleared up by
another Smaldeel despatch, which states
that ne has Joined General Roberts forces
near that place
The latest news from the field showed
that the British had advanced twenty five
miles beyond SmaldeeI and reached the
Zand River, where Botha was expected TO
make a stand. When the English reached
the river. the Beers were seen to be in
strong force on the north bank of the
stream, and. though the report Of their
withdrawal further northgard has been
received, it is possible that another battle
may yet be fought near the waters of the
Zand
Although 1000 British cavalry watered
their horses in the Zand on Monday no
attempt was made to cross at that time,
presumably on account of some delay in
receiving supplies from the south owing
TO the partial destruction Of the Ial-
way line. The Zand is only forty-fve
miles from the Boer stronghold at Kroon-
stad, and it is thought possible that the
Federalists may have reconsidered their
determination to meet Roberts at the river
and withdraw TO the fortified town in
stead.
In this connection a despatch from Lou
reneo Marques is interesting. 1t states
that the Free Staters. in the expectation
that Kroonstad will soon become untena-
bic. are preparing to transfer their Govern
ment TO Heilbrun, little more than fifty
miles to the northeast.
Another despatch from Smaldeel, dated
May S, $50 p. m, says that the British
have been successful at all points re-

General Hunter has passed Fourteen
Streams, north of Kimberley. after a fgh,
in which more than twenty OF the Beers,
including two cOmmandants. were killed.

Although General Ian Hamilton was
fighting every day last week, his casual
ties numbered only about 100.
Many Beers are turning in their horses
and Mauser rifles at SmaIdeel.
