Personally l am no believer in eXclu-
sive diets. All the principles of COM
paratire anatomy teach us that man
is omnivorous. and if there were no
comparative anatomy the natural
tastes of man would lead to the same
conclusion. Man is naturally cos
mopolite, and to be able to eat all is
one of The conditions of being able to
live anywhere. So that the natural
food of man is what he can get. Some
times 1t may be flesh only. sometimes
only vegetables, and generally all kinds
There may be many cases of indivu-
ais who thrive best on an exclusive
diet, With those | have no quarrel. If
they have the been able to find out
what Is best for them, they have been
extremely fortunate. If they have the
strength of mind to Use this best, they
ought to be congratulated. II they
have the means and opportunity to get
1t, they are to be envied. However,
they are scarcely to be accorded the
right of prescribing and prescribing for
all mankind according to the dictates
of their own idiosyncrasies. My belief
is that health and longevity, upon the
whole, are best secured by a mixed
! diet

ROMANTIC JERSEY
LASS GOES HOME
Miss Buellah Stevens Who Eloped
with Herman swingle Is Forced
to Leave Her Equally Romantic
Lover and Return to Her Home in
the Jersey Meadows.

The last chapter of the romance Of
Miss Buellah Stevens, the Jersey lass
who left her home in the state of
well developed mosquitoes and sum-
mer resorts, and eloped to this city
with Herman Swingle, Carbondale
young man, was written yesterday
when the girls aunt, Mrs. Mary Stew
ems, reached this city, and after a
heart to heart talk with her romantic
niece, took her away from her lover
and back to her home in the Jersey
meadows.
Mrs. Stevens, the aunt, is a woman
of few words, but of whole lot of de-
cision. and this the lass appreciated,
for she made no protest when her aunt
came on the scene, though she eX-
pressed her sorrow because of the sep
aration in a copious flow of tears.
When Swingle left the city building
in the morning he came to say good
bye to the maid who left her home for
him, and this was the cause of the
overflow of the girls emotions. She
weeped and weeped and weeped some
more; then she ceased, gave a few
heavy sighs. made her toilet and left
in company with her aunt over the
Delaware and Hudson on the 11.20
train.

DR.. II. V. Logan. of Scranton, dis
trict inspector of the state board OF
health, visited the village of Simpson
yesterday afternoon. investigated the
supposed cases of small pox, confirmed
the diagnosis of the physicians in
charge of the case and ordered the
quarantine that was ordered by DR..
John S. Niles, president of the Carbon
dale board of health to be rigidly
enforced.
DR.. Logan was summoned to Carbon
dale yesterday afternoon by DR.. Niles,
with whom he visited the company
houses at the Northwest breaker in
simpson, where the Toolan and Doud
families live. The condition and ap-
pearance of the patients, Mr.. Toolan
and Mrs. Doud, led DR.. Logan to pro-
nounce the cases as small pox, and
without any hesitation.

men were also employed, and the three
will relieve one another every eight
hours.
orders were also issued for the vac
cination of the residents in the vicin-
ity of the infected houses and through

Earlier in the day DR.. Niles had
talk with General Manager Frieder, of
the Klots silk mill, where number
of girls work, who live in the same
row Of houses as the Toolan and Doud
families. He asked that the girls
whose homes are in this row be re-
qrested to remain at home for the
present; that they he directed to be
vaccinated, as we'll as the other hands
of the mill This Mr.. Frieder agreed to
do, and he also indicated a spirit to
cooperate with the officials in every
way in order to prevent the spread OF
the infection.
Mr. Toolan and Mrs. Doud have. it
is believed. passed the crisis Of the
disease and it is not deemed necessary
for a physician to visit them.
As precautionary measure, owing
to the nearncss of the locality of the
disease, the Carbondale board of
health reissues through the press, the
admonition it gave several weeks
ago, when small poX was prevalent in
Luzerne county. that the residents of
this city he vaccinated.
This request, which is in the interest
OF the public health. the board hopes
will be met with a general compliance.

his summer home for a weeks rest,
but on leaving he deputized Or. Har-
per TO act in his stead as president
