THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also Few Facts ON the Same Sub
ipcl

ject.
| We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic 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 ad-
! vanced to prove that meat was never in
| tended for human stonachs, and almost
make US believe that our sturdy ances-
| tors 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-
tables, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in a highly concentrated form and
is digested and assimilated more quickly
bAAeAAA fee5 Stelb4NS anu Grains.
Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject
says: Nervous persons. people run down
in health and of low vitality should eat
meat and plenty Of IT, If the digestion is
too feeble at first it may be easily cor
rected by the regular use of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two
Of these excellent tablets taken after
dinner will digest keveral thousand grains
Of meat, eggs or other animal food in
three hours, and no matter how weak
the stomach may be- no trouble Will be
experienced if a regular practice is made
Of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets be-
cause they supply the pepsin and diastese
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 its
proper digestion by the daily use Of 4

ually perform the work of digestion
Cheap cathartic medicines. incorporating
under the name of dyspepsia cures are
useless for Indigestion, as they have alb
solutely no effect upon the actual diges-
ton of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is sim
ply a failure of the stomach to digest
food, and the sensible way to solve the
riddle and'cure the dyspepsia is to make
daily use at meal time of a preparation
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which is
indorsed by the medical profession and
known to contain active digestive prin-
ciples.

He WRITES A PLAY
Wichita Boy Sells Manuscript
for Good Money
AND GETS ROYALTY
w. C. Herman of the High
School Becomes Playwright

Wichita has boosted Of having talented
representatives in all branches of arts and
literature. However, her latest acquire
ment in this line is a playwright Mr..
William c. Herman has written a play
that is already further on the road to
success than he ever imagined it would
get
The play is entitled 'Tmogene," and is
society drama. As a plot, the writer
took an incident that actually occurred in
this city. Mr.. Herman simply tells the
story Of poor young man who begins
life in a city where he is an entire stran-
ger. He first finds employment in a bank,
and as he is a sensible youth he COM
mences to rise in the world. Of course he
incurs the enmity Of many who find that
his position in the world is getting to be
better than their own. These people con-
spire against him and succeed in all but
causing his utter ruin. However the
friendship Of his good employer 5 daughter
saves him, and he afterwards regains the
good viii Of the others who had known
him. As love is a subject in which there
Is an almost universal interest, Mr.. Her
man has his hero marry his heroine The
temptations Of the hero which are mostly
caused by his lack Of finances and also by
the diss.pated habits Of some of his asso-
ciates are brought into the play. These
temptations viii be better appreciated
when it is understood that the young fell
low had gained an entrance into the best
society Of the city and felt that he must
keep up with the rest of the fellows in his
set
Mr.. Herman commenced to write his
play about a year ago and never expected
that he would get any financial returns
from it. When the Mercy Stock company
was here, he took the manuscript to Mr.
Clarence Bennett, the manager. Mr.
Herman thought that if he could get Mr..
Bennett enough interested to read his
play and criticise it he would be very well
satisfied. After reading it over Mr.
Bennett said that, by making few
changes, he believed that he could
make use of the play. and that if Mr.
Herman would accept S1C0 as a cash pay
ment and a certain per cent as a royalty
he would accept the play and put it on
some time next year. Mr.. Herman did
not lose any time in accepting the prop
osition and thought that as he had ex-
pected to get nothing. ne was doing
pretty well TO get anything.

GEN. JOE WHEELER
Makes Strong Plea for the Standing
 Army

Chicago, August u.-General Joseph Wheeler made strong plea for the stand ing army in his convocation address at the University of Chicago. He declared that the most certain way to avoid the desolation and the horrors of war was to be constantly ready with men and arms for every emergency; that the only security for peace was to be always prepared and ready to engage in war.
 At the close of the address General Wheeler was cheered by the students, many of whom are from the Southern States, and when the University Band struck up the tune of Dixie the enthusi- asm rose to a high pitch.
 General Wheeler's topic was Our Pacific Possessions" He briefly traced the his tory and development of the islands recent ly acquired by the United States, and gave the results of his own observations as to the resources and possibilities of our new dependencies. He said the destiny of the human race to be guided in the future largely by the government of the United States.
 We are now a great world power," he said, and the destiny of the human race Is in the future to be largely guided by the influence exerted by this government This should be impressed upon the rising gener- ation and the memory of the flag of our country floating over the school house and songs breathing patriotic devotion within Its walls should be indelibly connected with the first impressions of the youth of our land"

The National Debt of { nina

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Financiers in Europe are discussing the future of the Chinese debt, which may be affected by the war with China They are comparatively satisfied with the situation, however. inasmuch as if the Chinese win their claims should still be good, while if there should be a government under joint protectorate, there would be provision for the debt The history of the Chinese debt is given in the Economiste Europeen. All Europe holds more or less of 1t. Nearly all the debt has been created since the Shi- monoseki treaty of 1895, when the Japanese war indemnity had to be paid. Before 1894 the debt amounted to only 730O0 taels. Since then 1t has increased nearly a thousand fold, the aggregate debt at present being 7S737, 900 taels, or $52, 900 900, most of which is payable in 1943. In the past a period of forty-three years has wrought little change in China. But if the next forty three years bring about as great changes as have been accomplished during the last five years, it is difficult to predict what will be the state of affairs in the Celestial king dom when the last installment of the prin- cipal shall have become due.

MT. and Mrs. William H. Tayloe gave a large and brilliant reception on Tuesday evening" at which they presented to society their niece, Miss Reba Walden, daughter of Captain and Mrs. William J. Walden. The Tayloe residence, which is the handsomest in the Canebrake, superbly decorated for the occasion with huge palms and gay summer blossoms Mrs Tayloe and Miss Walden received in the front drawing room, Mrs. Tayloe wearing a smart gown of white muslin and taffeta. Miss Vaiden's beauty was enhanced by an exquisite gown of white liberty silk. A large number of persons were present. An elaborate SUD- per was served in a palm garden on the lawn. The youthful debutante comes of a long line of brainy men and charming wo- men. Her kinswoman, Mrs. Dana Gibson, nee Langhorne, has become, through her husbands charming drawings, the ideal type of American beauty. While formally presented to society, Miss Walden will yet pursue her studies, and will probably enter one of the large female colleges the coming fall.

Stealing His Thunder

From the Washington Star.

 This is the slowest train I was ever on. Whats the of having a schedule if we don't pay any attention to it? The drink ing water tastes as if 1t hadn't been off the kitchen range ten minutes. The car doesn't look as If it had been swept for a month, and it is full of idiots who insist on opening the windows when we go through tunnels. so that the clnders can blow in'
 The passenger caught his breath and then exclaimed: 'I was just about to say that this whole affair Is an outrage"
 I know it. But you are lucky. You can travel few miles and then get off and be happy. But I've got to stay on this train for hours every day of my life"
