ONE MEAL A DAY..
Pronounced n secret of Human
Health and Happiness.


1t is by no means impossible that
the newest world lecturer will allude
to the delays of the single meal re-
form The one meal n day plan was
successfully practiced by some 5000
600 men Of the hpalthicst. wealthicst
and most intelligent nations of an
tiquty for nearly 1000 years.
No unprecedented observer can deny
that for the vast plurality of our fell
low men there is no other practicable
way TO live up TO the principle of the
sanitary maxim. Never to eat tin
we have leisure TO digest"
Nine out of ten laborers have to hur-
ry from the breakfast table TO their
daily work and cannot count upon
more than few minutes of afternoon
meal rest The same in rolling mills
shipyards. railway yards. workshops
and schoolrooms.
Less than years time would suffice
TO give the one meal habit the force Of
n second nature. and those who would
like to form an idea of its universal
observance during the classic period
Of antiquity should read Peter Baylc's
dissertation on Domestic Life In
Athens and Rome or De Quinccy's
humorous essay, published in the sec
ond volume Of miscellanes under the
title. Dinner. Real and Reputed.'
There would be time for play. for
reading, for the enjoyment of art and
entertaining conversation.
Sunstrokes would be known only
from the traditions of insantary
barbarism. The granger's youngsters
would get afternoon sports enough to
think life on farm decidedly worth
living No after dinner martyrdOm
would tempt truants, housekeeping
drudgery would be lessened two-thirds.

A Telegram That Talked.

At one time when the late George
Drew Barrymore was playing in san
Francisco fabulous sum was offered
her by local theater for her services
for n few weeks. The offer was ex-
ceedingly tempting. but her contract
with Charles Frohman stood in the
way. However. on the nothing ven
turc nothing won theory, she tele-
graphed a detailed statement of the
offer she had received to Frohman In
New York. explained how anxious she

the plea. viii you release me- In

Oshkosh Northwestern.

Oshkosh Northwestern.
In referring to that part OF the gov
ernor's message calling attention to
the fact that the banks OF the state
showed deposits to the extent OF $751;
100000, while the assessors returns
.bowed that only s7000,000 OF cash
property bad beer taxed, The North
western recently remarked: 1T can
not be believe that the assessors
found all this money and that all of
it was offset by detts except tie
paltry seven millions" Replying to
this The Milwaukee Journal says:
That statement is challenged by business
men The interviews published in The Jour
nal tend to show that. disregarding indivld-
nails offsets, the banks themselves are entitled
to large offsets, and the amount actually men
toned as paying taxes is not far from due pro-
portion The statement of the governor was
sensational. specious aud meaningless, If he
did not intend 10 tax bank deposits in the
banks; it was not a fair statement, nor cor
rect if he did intend to tax Them
It Is difficult to understand what
The Journal means by saying that
~the banks themselves are entitled to
large Offsets The banks have moth
ing to do with the question at issue
any more than the farmer has to do
with taxing the horses he IL pastur-
ing for the city owner. Because
the farmer is pasturlug the horse 1t
IS no argument that the horse should
not be assessed against the city man
who owns him. The taxation OF
money is an individual matter with
the owner Of the cash and not mat
ter concerning the bank which SIM
pIe pastures the money for It's owner.
The Journal seems to have been en-
deavoring to make the bankers be-
lieve the proposition was to TAX the
banks on these deposits, which is
not the proposition at all The prop
ositon of the governor simply was
the enforcement of existing. law tax
ing money. The only figure this
cuts is in showing approximately
how much money there is IN the
state. The bank reports form con-
venient means Of statlstica, :nforma-
ton, that Is all.
The Journal says the interviews
with the bankers show that the mil
lions Of cash assessed is not far from
the due proportion of the SoIOOo,oOO
deposits after deducting legal debts
and offsets. This Of course is merely
guess work. IL may be SO, but 1t
would be surprising II OF SS7Ooo,uoo
nf money ia the banks of the state
there are legal debts aud Offsets
amounting to SS0,000,00O. And II may
be added that surely all this money
belongs To somebody. If so, then
why is not somebody paying taxes
