What Lincoln Said.

Abraham Lincoln, in his debate
with Stephen A. Douglass in Illinois
in 1858, said:
II am not, nor never have been, in
favor of making voters or jurors OF
negroes, nor of qualifying them to
hold office, nor intermarrying them
with white people; and l will say in
addition to this, that there is q ply
sical difference between the white and
black race, which, I believe, will for
ever forbid the two races living to-
gether on terms of social and politi-
cal equality-and inasmuch as they
can not so live, while they do remain
together, there must be position Of
superior and inferior, and as much
as any other man, am in favor of hav-
ing the superior position assigned to
the white race.

Br'ain-food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has bcen
branded by the most competent au-
thorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish particular
part Of the body, but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be, its nutriment is des-
troyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.
