National delegate conventions being
held in many states are naming the
United States senators as members of
the delegation to the presidential con-
vention. 1t gives the senators addi-
tional prestige and is a graceful and
wise recognition of these ,officials.
There is a disposition in North Dakota
to name Senators Hansbrough and
McCumber as members of the repub-
lican delegation to Philadelphia and
such action by the republican conven-
ton in this state would be in line with
the. policy of other states and be Of
assistance and benefit to the party

Fruit and the GOut.

From the London Globe.
While the vegetarian regards meat as a
poison, the frutarian looks with no en-
thusiastic eye upon the Lentsn fare OF the
vegetarian. To him uncooked fruit is the
only natural food, and, though but a small
body, men do exist in this cold country who
eat nothing but fruit For long time
they have found their chief opponents in
medical men, who affirm that for equity
patients fruit Is dangerous, some even as
serting that fruit may actually engendsr
gout Now, however, a little ray of sun
shine penetrates the gloom where they sit
in glorious isolation cracking nuts and
chewing raisins with all the sylvan SIM
plicity Of monkeys. A medical man has
arisen to declare that he has frequently
cured gout with grapes and oranges. Fur
ther than this, he declares that his stand
ing advice to equity friends iS. Eat plenty
of fresh, ripe, uncooked fruit" But while
the tendency" of fruit Is to get rid of
gcut altogether, 1t seems that severe gouty
headaches and bilious attacks may be
caused by eating it. particularly by pa
tieIts who havs long ago shut the tempting
apple and peaf from their regimen. There
fore, though the fruterian wax bolder for
this medical testimony, the gouty would be
wise to take their fruit sparfngly at first
and not by any means make It their one
and only form, OF sustenance. It Is, at any
rate interesting to find that medical men
are beginning to look with kindlier eyes on
fruit but at prssentttt would probably be
difficult to enceunter1two doctors agreeing
over one suffering equity person that his
salvation lay in q fruit diet.
