THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same Subject

Also q Few Facts on the Same Subject
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about vege-
tarianism and many other fads along
the same line.
Restaurants may b. found in the
larger cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank is
in his glory, and arguments and the
cries 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 they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in
matters of diet, and a mixed diet of
grains, fruits and meats is undoubtedly
the best
As compared with grains and vegeta-
bIes, meat furnishes the most nutriment
in highly concentrated form and is
digested and assimilated more quickly
than vegetables and grains.
DR.. Julius Remmson on this subject
says: Nervous persons. people run
should eat meat and plenty of it. If the
digestion is too feeble at first it may be
easily corrected by the regular use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal. Two of these excellent tablets
taken after dinner will digest several
thousand grains of meat, eggs or other
animal food in three hours and no mat
ter how weak the stomach may be, no
trouble will be experienced if a regular
practice is made of using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets because they supply the
pepsin and diaStaSe necessary to perfect
digestion, and every form of indigestion
will be overcome by their use
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure it's
proper digestion by the daily use of a
safe, harmless digestive medicine like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed
of the natural digestive principles. pep
sin, diastase, fruit acids and salts.
which cactually perform the work of
digestion. Cheap cathartic medicines.
masquerading under the name of dys-
pepsia cures are useless for Indigestion
! as they have absolutely no effect upon
the actual digestion of food
Dyspepsia in all it's many forms is
simply a failure of the stomach to di-
| gest food and the sensible way to solve
| the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to
make daily use at meal time of a pre-
paration like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's which is Endorsed by the medical
profession and known to contain active
| digestive principles

MANAGER BRADY
Talks About the Fight Between JEFF
fries and Corbett


Philadelphia Jan. 1S.-Quite a number
Of boxing celebrities are in the city this
week. Jim Jeffries, Tom Sharkey, Bob
Armstrong and Terry McGovern might
have been seen strolling about the streets
last evening.
Jeffries says he will take on no one
until his fight with Corbett has been de-
cided, on March 10. and that he will start
in training in two or three weeks. The
champion looks big and rugged now, but
flesh. When asked if he intended giving
Fitzsimmons another chance Jeffries only
smiled but w A Brady his manager
spoke up promptly and said: Certainly
we will give Fitzsimmons another fight,
but it must be on the same basis as the
last tight; % PER cent to the eh9qmplqn
mons demanded and got from US, and
that is what he will have to give US to
When asked why such a family affair
match as that between Jeffries and Cor
bett was fixed up so hastily, Brady said:

sons. I thought it the best money max
ing match in sight, and do still. Corbett's
ring. record I consider as good as any
pugilists in America and his name will
look good among Jeffries' string of vic
tories. If we have the names of Fitz-
simmons, Sharkey and COrbett. what
need we care for the others? I think Cor
bett will draw in New York better than
any other man we could match with jeff

game, but that doesn't enter into the ar
gument at all.

should give him another match, and

ENOUGH TO CHARITY.
G. P Huntington Declines to Donate
$4,000 More.

Pasadena, Cal, Jan. 1S.-Collis T.
Huntington has refused to make a 90
nation of $40 900 to the Throop Poly
technic Institute. In reply to DAVID
Heap, secretary of the institute, VINO
asked for the donation, he wrote:
1 note carefully that you write on
the subject of an endowment or CHAIR
in the institute for 100000 or upward
and in response to that proposltlon let
me say that the name of those VINO
come to me for money for this and
other purposes is legion.
My daily mail is largely MADE up OF
appeals for help to relieve actual DIS
tress and suggestions similar to yours
The former calls appeal more strongly
to me, confess. than do the kind you
make. although I fully recognize the
good your institution is doing and the
admirable character of its work
L have done, and am, in fact. doing,
a great deal for the negroes and their
schools, and do this because the negro
has not had a fair chance in the world,
and he needs not merely the moral
sympathy and support of the KIND
hearted, but their substantial help to
put him on a footing where he can
stand among his fellows, and have,
not perhaps an equal show, but at least
a good working chance.
There are plenty of men in the Unit
ed States who are not only financially
able to help institutions like yours, but
are willing and often glad to do it, as
all their sympathies, through their
training and experience, lie with such
enterprises.
THE field of helpers in other direc-
tions seems to be scanty, and I think
what money I have to give away can
be bestowed to greater advantage along
lines of more actual need. The field OF
my donations is already so large that
I can not with. reason widen it, hence
I do not feel that can accede to your
request"

Yes, will" replied Lorimer, firmly,
