SHORT WHEAT CROP IN EUROPE
The Mark Lane Express cpdihcs the
wheat crop estimates for the year, and
comes to the conclusion that the deficit
for the United Kingdom. France, Bel
@ium. Holland and Northwestern Europe
will be 2GSuOU.UUO bushels. The area
will yield = crop of about :@6mO.GO
hu>hrl. and ii will ncsd about Gi4 900
GOO bushels. MI this deficiency can be
made up from the United States. which
will AT the lowest estimate 1hrrSh DO
OOO,OOO bushels. while home wants will
most run beyond -lOO,OOO.VJO bushels
Central and Southern Europe import
som" wheat but the Express assumes
that tn" peoples requirements il that
section can hr satisfied with the surplus
from Russia. the Balkan States, Argrn-
tina and Australia. There is IL spirited
foreign demand for American wheat this
year. and it has already made itself felt
in our grain markets. The unusual
abundance" of the crop promises to COM

In this section wheat is seeded in the

To prevent weeds is to have the wheat

such as corn: hut it is well known that
weeds max" their appearance" in wheat

For that reason the corn should be re-

George Delaney Dietz, veteran who was
released from the insane asylum several
months ago as improved" was sent back
to the hospital yesterday Saturday night
he entered the first precinct police station
and said he was a victim of liquid air, and
that he was anxious to have Senator PEN
rose make an investigation, for he feared
everybody would be blown up. When he
was first sent to the asylum he imagined
he was being prosecuted about the death
OF a colored man.
According to the statement of DietZ, his
home is at No 717 South I'd street, Phia-
delphia, although he says he seldom
spends any time there. He passed many
years in the army, his last enlistment be-
ing in the Sth Cavalry. During his service
he figured in Indian campaigns in the west.
Previous to his discharge he served in the
Spanish-American war.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD

ALSO A FEW FACTS on THE SAME SUBJECT.
We hear much nowadays about health foods and
hygienlc living, about vegetarianism and many
other fads along the line.
Restaurants may be found in the large cities
where no meat, pastry or coffee is served and the
food crank is in his glory, and arguments and
theories galore advanced TO prove that meat was
never intended for human stOmachs, and almost
make us believe that our sturdy ancestors who
lived four years in robust health on roast
beef. pork and mutton must have been grossly
ignorant Of the laws of health.
Our forefathers had other things to do than
formulate theories about the food they ate. A
warm welcome extended to any kind from
bacon TO acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense are excel
lent guides TO follow in matters of diet and
mixed diet Of grains, fruits and meats is un-
doubtedly the best.
As compared with grains and vegetables, meat
furnishes the most nutriment in highly concen-
trated form and is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables and grains.
Dr. Julius Remmson this subject says: Nerv-
persons, people run down In health and Of low
vitality should eat meat and plenty of 1t. If the
digestion is too feeble at first 1t may be easily
corrected by the regular Of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal. Two Of these excellent
tablets taken after dinner will digest several
thousand grains Of meat, eggs or other animal food
in three hours, and no matter how weak the stom-
ach may be, trouble will be experienced If a
regular practice is made of using Suart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets, because they supply the pepsin and
diastase necessary TO perfect digestion. and every
form Of indigestion will be overcome by their use.
That large class Of people who come under the
head Of nervous dyspeptics should eat plenty of
meat and insure its proper digestion by the daily
use Of a safe, harmless digestive medicine like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets composed Of the natu-
raj digestive principles, pepsin, diastase, fruit
acids. and salts, which actually perform the work
Of digestion. Cheap cathartic medicines masauer.
aiding under the name Of dyspepsia cures are use.
less for Indigestion, as they have absolutely no
effect upon the actual digestion Of food.
Dyspepsia In all Its many forms is simply a fail
ure Of the stomach TO digest food and the sensible
way TO solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is
TO make daily use at meal time Of a preparation
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which is endorsed
by the medical profession and known to contain
active digestive principles.

Hearing in Damage Suit.

In Circuit Court No. /, before Chief JUS
tice Bingham and jury, hearing was be-
gun today of the suit at law instituted by
Edward F. Cooper against the City and
Suburban railway of Washington, to re-
cover damages in the sum of $4,000. 1t is
alleged that the oath of last April, while
on G street near 7th street, a vehicle in
charge of the plaintiff was struck by a
car of the defendant. The striking, it is
stated, caused the horse attached to the
vehicle to run away. The plaintiff declares
that he was thrown out and dragged some
distance, sustaining painful injury. Attor-
neys T. L. Jeffords and G. P. Chase appear
for the plaintiff, the defendant being rep
resented by Attorney J. J. Darlington.
