Most people who are not In good
health know In a general way what
kind of food they ought to ent In order
to overcome their bodily infirmitles and
prevent a recurrence Of them. But peO-
pie who have good health usually con.
slider only their taste or their pocket
book when they order meal. An ex.
pertinent which one of the Boston ho-
tells Is making shows that others be.
sides invalids are beginning TO under.
staEd that II Is important to have the
right sort of food az well as to have II
properly cooked. The cafe of this no.
tel provides not only u bill of fare, but
a diet list made out by a physician
and intended as q guide to the patrons
of the house. 1t prescribes the food
best suited to various physical condi.
lions. To the fat man II offers a va
riety of dishes that tickle his palate,
and ut the same time check his ten
dency to grow fatter. The thin and
ancmic can procure the things which
make blood and tissue ana build up an
enfecbled system. The new way of
looking at the food question puts health
first ana preference afterward. 1t con.
sidcrs the needs of the Individual, and
makes practical application Of the old
saying that zone mans meat Is another
mans poison" II tries to make the
diet like a well-stOckcd wardrobe, Of
ferlng plenty Of variety, yet designed
for ana fitted to the person for whom It
Is intended. Lilac IL u charming color,
but the red.hared girl does not need 1t
to enhance her peculiar charms. Sir
thing, bit melons and coarse bread
may be better for the full-bloOded man
who has tendency to rheumatism.
How one can fit his diet to his own
needs IL a matter which the physician
can best decide. 1t Is certainly easier
to preserve heath by the use of proper
food than to regain 1t by taking medi-
cine; ana the prescription filed In n
restaurant IL pleasanter to take than
one compounded by the druggist.

One does not need to be lawyer In
order to realize the force OF Gen. Man
| dersons address before the American
Bar Association, respecting the neces.
| sity Of uniform divorce laws. No two
States exactly agree In statutory treat
ment Of the subject. What IL cause for

other. The result Is that the legiti.
macy OF children IL called In question,
real estate titles are clouded and many
other injustices ana annOyances con.
tlnually arise which could be wholly
avoided by uniformity of divorce laws
In all the States. Nor Is there any Sc
rlOus obstacle In the way Of attaining
such uniformity. 4 joint convention
Of representative lawyers from the va
riOus States would agree upon n de
sirable statute and the various Legis
latures would undoubtedly enact the
necessary legislation. Any Governor
who should take the Initiative In the
matter might depend upon meeting
with friendly response from his fel
low executives. And even IL ther,
should be few dissenters large ma
jOrity of the States would reach NJ
agreement which would greatly I'm
prove the situation. II Is unfOrtunat,
that there should be any necessity a
all for divorce. The severing of til,
marriage tie Is perhaps the most serl
GUS act with which the civil law con
Germs itself. But II we are to have dl
vOrces-and there Is small hope that w,
can abolish them-it Is at least advisa
BILE that the laws governing then
should be the same throughout the ma
ton. 1t Is the part of wisdom to mini
mize bad business. The States shout,
get together and reform the divOrc,
laws. Perhaps II they We're to do tina
they would see the ACCESSIBILITY for uni
form legislation In many other matter
respecting which there Is a great an,
most undesirable divergence of sta
tutes.
Writing about the iron industry O
the Northwest, correspondent make
some interesting statements concern
ing the salaries paid by the great min

who began life as an office boy Of tn
corporation that now pays him twent
thousand dollars year; Of anOthe
who receives thirty-flve thousand do
lars, and of many whose salarie
range from five to fifteen thousand do
lars. The company that employs tn
man who earns thirty-five thOusan
dollars produces annually six millio
tons of ore. An improvement tina
saves even cent ton makes vas
difference In its profits. The high-sa
