Value OF Wide Tires.

Indiana has a law enacted in 1899
hat forbids the use Of public roads for
hauling over 1000 pounds of anything
n a narrow tired wagon and over $500
POUNDS in wagons with broad tires.
The law has been merely nominal, and
Turing the last ten years there have
been few attempts to enforce 1t. The
'oad supervisors in several counties
have awakened at last to their duty
md they are posting warnings that
iiolaters will be prosecuted. Aside
rom the fact that laws should be en-
forced, the supervisors are taking the
BEST possible steps to prevent the de-
.erioration of their roads. Expert
nee has shown the destructiveness OF
harrow tires. especially when carry
ng heavy loads, and II has also shown
hat the broad tires are more economi-
al to the owners Of the wagons them
selves.

of recommendations which, if followed,
would vastly decrease the chances of
spread of contagious disease in this way.
Doing away with sponges and powder
pums, not using on one customer after
another the same piece of alum to stop
bleeding, and taking care in the use of
cosmetics not to let them serve as media
of transmitting disease from one person
TO another, are ell wise suggestions.

CAPE DUTCH WANT PEACE.
But They May Fail if They Ask for
Independence.

Cape Town. March IA great move
ment is in progress among the Cape Dutch
to obtain a settlement of the South Afr-
can questions consistent with the mainte-
nance of the independence of the republics.
1t is doubtless argued that the Dutch,
having remained loyal, are entitled to
hearing at the settlement.
The argument would have more force If
the Dutch had not risen in every district
where there was a reasonable chance of
success, and it is certain that the whole
British community and the actively loyal
Dutch are opposed to any settlement short
of anne cation.
A proposal has been made by deputa-
ton of the Dutch party to visit England
shortly in the interest of peace.
The remainder of the Canadian artil-
lery has gone TO the front

So MIR. GuiImHrtin Says About Some
LovIands south of the City.

Savannah, Ga. March Z, 1901-Editor
Morning News: Last year | called the at
tention of the Mayor and Aldermen of
this city to the abandonment of the drain
age Just south of the city between the
Waters and White Bluff roads, on the De-
Renne lands. The Mayor appointed a
committee of Council to investigate. They
reported as per your paper that the drain
age was all right except one or two
minor drains, which they said would have
attention.
The last grand jury complimented the
County Commissioners on the excellent
drainage. This neglected spot is about
mile wide and over a mile long, and has
a number of these drains, also ponds that
never go dry for want of drainage (proper
drainage. Some of these drains have not
been cleaned in two years, some not in
three. and some were started by Mr.. Day
ton, when county engineer. and were left
unfinished about four years ago.
The committee of aldermen and
the grand jury that reported
on this drainage never inspected
any of it. They never went on
these lands, and could only report from
information gathered other than by inspec-
ton. This condition exists to-day, and l
viii show the same to any one interested
enough TO look into the matter; not that
| think it viii influence the County Com
missioners. as 1 think these lands are
"blask listed" and won't get drained by
present commissioners. Yours truly.

LESS MEAT Is DESIRABLE.
Americans Rule Eat Far Too
Much of 1t for Good Health.

From the Philadelphia Medical Journal.
The opinion has been generally preva-
lent, not in the medical profession but
with the general public, that light meats
are more easily digestible; that they con-
tain less of deleterious constituents than
the dark meats, and that, therefore, they
are better suited for the nOuris hment of
sick people in general This supposition
was based, no doubt, upon the statements
which may be found in medical literature
that the dark meats contain very much
more heterogeneous material and eXtractives
than the light meats. In the Berliner
Khnische Wochenschrift, Offer 81 Rosen-
quit publish the results of a series of care
fui analyses which do not agree with thase
of the Older analyses. They show some of
the fallacies of previous investiga tors, and
come TO the conclusion that while the
white meats of poultry. fish, etc, do in
certain cases contain Tess heterogeneous and
eNtractive materials, the average amount
does not differ greatly enough in the white
and dark meats TO make either preferable.
In concluding their article they state that
iii it is desirable to lmit the amount of
these delcterious food constituents We
may accomplish the result much more
certainly by limiting the amount of meat
taken rather than by forbidding dark
meats.
1t is a well known fact that almost all
the food materials contain proportion
Of waste matter, and This is desirable;
most foods also contain constituents which
in large quantities are deleterious, but in
smaller quantities may be beneficial The
extractives of meat, among the more inn
portaui of which are Tactic acid, butyric
acid, acetic acid, etc, are by no means
harmful if taken in small quantities as is
ordinarily the case, and the same is true
of the heterogeneous constituents. There can
be ntlie doubt however, that these con-
stituents do have bad effect among certain
people who eat large quantities of meat
and this evil is without question more
prevalent IN America than in almost any
other part of The world. IL arises from
the fact that the meat supply is compar-
atively large with us, and the people are
relatively prosperous and can afford 10
buy larger amounts of meat than people
of most other nations Three heavy meat
meas a day are not unusual among GER
tain classes of people and on nearly all she
bills Of fare of leading restaurants and
hotels the list of meats is as great as or
greater than that Of vegetable. We would
not decry the use of a reasonable amount
of meat. but believe that many disorders
would be less frequent If we were accus-
toned 10 use the meats less freely.
