EATING AND BODILY HEALTH.
Two French Medical Investigators BE-
IicYr We Ent to Die.

Two French Medical InvestiEators BE-
iievc We Eat to Die.
Doubt as to whether we eat to live
or eat to die has been dispelled by GER
tain French medical investigators, who
have proved to their own satisfaction
that we eat to die. One of these scien-
lists recently read a paper before the
Academy of Medicine, in which he ad-
yanced the theory that appendicitis Is
often the result of intestinal poisoning
caused by influenza. Another investi-
gator in discussing the same subject
declared that the disease is caused by
worms or other parasites that are
swallowed with raw fruits and vege-
tables and in impure water. Two 9TH
or French investigators have discov-
cred by test that rabbits which have
heen compelled to fast for week are
nroof against the attacks OF baciih IN
footed into their systems, while rabbits
that have received their regular rations
ouickly succumb to disease. This Is
probably explained by the theory that
,h. digestive agents of the body when
rot employed in the assimilation or
nourisbme from food will be in fight
ing trim for the task of doing up
anv microbes that may enter their
boiliwicks. Prophylactic action In line
Win this theory would destroy the
hrsinoss of the butchers, grocers and
bakers during times Of epidemic Dut
IT would also destroy the fasters IN the
course of time, and thus prove the
converse of the dictum that we eat
to die. There is no doubt as to the Ill
effects of over-eatins; and opinion Is
general that humanity is inclined TO
o,t too much. The investigations 3t
the French scientists have neither re-
moved doubt as to the real cause or
appendicitis nor made 1t clear that
humanity can escape the omnipresent
microbe by habitual fasting.-Milwau-

Major Richard Sylvester. the newly

interesting career with no lack Of va

the police force OF Washington. d. c..
he had had an insight into the life

point Of newspaper reporter. No
vantage ground outside the force itself
is better than that OF the reporter for
acquiring knowledge Of the strength

Sylvester knows Just how to deal with
his men because he has never forgot
ten his early association with the
police in his capacity rs a searcher for
news. In addition to all OF this he has
executive ability Of high order and
very fine conceptions of citizenship and
the duties Of the police officer to tho

vester has wisely ruled the city police
of the national capital. He was born
forty-four years ago in Iowa City,

HOME OF THE IRISH PEOPLE.
Il Is In the un,s-d states Rather Than

Il ls In the tntted states itathrr Than
ireland.
There are more lrishmcn In tho
United States than In Ireland. says an
Official OF the census oilicc. The latest
returns from the British census shows
that the population Of Ireland Is now
i.i56.5t6. n loss OF five per cent. In tho
last ten years. Sixty years ago thcr.
were almost twice as many people In
tho island. or s.l73.l2i. Tho United
States census returns which show tho
forcign.born population have not yet
been complied. but II is believed the
number of natives OF Ireland now in
this country Is nearly 100000.
For every lrish.born inhabitnnt OF
tho United States there are probably
two descendants OF Irish blood from
both father and mother. and this
would make the Irish population OF
this country about n million greater
than that OF Ireland. In this estimate
no account is taken Of the large mum.
ber OF Americans who have In their
veins Irish blood from one or the 9TH
er parental side. The cause OF Ire
lands loss of population can be found
quickly enough In the steady Increase
OF the Irish population OF America.
