are more ceremonious than those of

great ceremony he will from time to

Every body ought to know that
the very best thing they can do is
to eat apples just before retiring
for the night. The apple is an ex-
cellent brain food, because it has
more phosphoric acid than any other
vegetable known. 1t excites the
action of the liver, promotes sound
and healthy sleep and thoroughly
disinfects the mouth. That is not
all. The apple agglutitates the
surplus acids of the stomach, helps
the kidney secretions, and is one of
the preventives known for diseases
of the throat. Everybody should be
familiar with such knowledge. Next
to the orange and the lemon, it is
the best anthlote for thirst.

DISABILITY OF PRESIDENT.
President Roosevelt Anxious to
Have Congress Define 1t.

Have Congress Define 1t.
President Roosevelt in his annual
message to congress in December
will, says Washington dispatch,
so it is understood by public men
who have discussed the matter with
him, recommend the enactment OF o
law defining when president is in
capacitated for discharging the
duties OF his Office. The clause in
the constitution bearing on the point
reads: SIN case of $50 or inabil-
lily to discharge the powers and
duties of said Office the same shall
devolve on the vice-president.
There has never been any legis-
ation by congress or any opinion
by the supreme court which under
takes to say whether the trainers
of the constitution intended the
word Inability" should be inter
preted as total and hopeless disa-
bility or disability in lesser degree.
When President Garfield was
lingering between life and death
from an assassin s bullet in the sum-
mer of 1881, with the balance for
some weeks in favor OF death, the
question of whether he was in a con-
dition Of disability as defined by
the constitution was quite generally
discussed Eminent constitutional
lawyers in public life like Senator's
George E. Edmunds, Allan G. Thur
man and Benz. H. Hill and Rep.
Alex. H. Stephens wrote their views
on the subject. There did not seem
to be much doubt but that physically
the dying president was unable to
perform any of his official duties,
but there was difference in opinion
as to whether while life was in the
president the vice-president could
lawfully undertake the duties OF the
chief executive.
Between the time both President
Garfield and President Mckinley
were shot, aud the time they died,
no occasion arose where the execu-
tive department was embarrassed by
reason of the executive physical
helplessness. The proposition which
President Roosevelt is considering
is what would occur II president
was dangerously hurt when great
crisis was pending. What would
have happened, for instance, had
Mr. Mckinley been mortally shot
early in April, 1S98-war against
Spain was declared april Gland
have fingered for two months. Could
| Vice President Hobart have gone
ahead with the preparations for the
war. Such condition has never oc-
Cured in the history ofour country,
but Roosevelt desires congress to
say just what shall be done If it does

President Roosevelt has decided
to write all of his own message to
congress, and to do it on original
lines. Heretofore the secretary OF
state has written that portion Gov
ering foreign relations, and other
cabinet officers each have contribu-
ted chapter on his respective de
partment. The president will de-
vote his message to only such top
icsas he chooses to lay particularly
before the attention of congress,
leaving the reports of the cabinet
officers to acquaint congress with
the details Of administration.
