FOOD AND WEATHER.
Temperature Increased or Reduced by
 Food.


 The old army ration for the tropics has been very sharply criticised for the req son that 1t consists of articles of food that any person even slightly acquainted with the clements of food knows is not adapted to the needs of the human sys- tenn in hot weather Nature shows forth In the selection of food by inhabitants of various countries; for instance. the Es- quimaux in a cold climate selects heavy. carbonaceouS foods. tallow, bacon and such; while the Hindoo and inhabita mt s of hot countries turn to the cereals for sustenance.
 We should follow this hint of nature, and particularly in ho4 weather should avoid much butter, meat or any Of that class of food. Perhaps a little meat once a day Is not amiss. even in hot weather, but the breakfast and luncheon shouli be made of fruit. one or two slices of entire wheat bread and some Grape-Nuts and cream. Grape-Nuts are mentioned, be- cause they furnish the ideal cereal food in a most palatable and delicious form in addition to which, they are ready cooked and require no attention what ever from the cook.
 A person can pass through weather that may be intensely hot, in comfort able manner. If the food be properly se- lected. and the above suggestions can be put into practice with most excellent re- sults.

Sampson and Maclay.

In the Commoner today w. J. Bryan
makes the coming Schley investigation the
subject of his leading editorial. He COM
pares the records of Admirals Sampson and
Schley during the battle of Santiago and
subsequently to the glorifcation Of Schley.
Mr.. Bryan charges the administration with
being a partisan of Sampson, and con-
cludes:
Admiral Simpsons friends should be
satisfied with the fact that their favorite
obtained the prize money won in a battle
in which he did not participate, and that
his face is to grace medal that is to COM
memorate fight in which he did not take
part. 1t should be sufficient for them that
Admiral Schley has never made any claim
as to his part in the great battle in San
tiago bay; that he has been content for
the newspaper correspondents and other
Witnesses to give the facts to the American
people. These statements have convln ced
the American people that Schley was the

to Atzerodts confession, was to jump on
the box and do the driving, he being best
acquainted with the roads in Maryland.
On the Potomac river was a boat capable
of holding fifteen persons, which Surratt
had secured from Atzerodt In January, 1865.
The Presidents carriage was to be screwed
off it's wheels and set bodily on this boat
and ferried across the river.
The best-laid plans, however. often fail
and so the President at the last moment
was detained and did not go to the Sol
diers' Home, but sent in his place Mr.
Chase, And thereupon young Mr.. Surratt
says in his lecture, I'VE were much dis
appointed. we didn't want him; we wanted
