PROBLEM OF UNDER NUTRITION.

Americans eat more meat than other nations,

DR. E T. Devine, general secretary Of the Charity
Organization Society. The large consumption OF
meat by our working classes In this country is only
one element in this general progress. The fact that
they feel they need il separates them from the

POOR PEOPLE MUST HAVE MEAT.

by the ravages OF consumption. The records of
tuberculosis in the houses around the Settlement
are shocking. The corner In beef and the high
prices of meat generally have been productive OF
suffering. especially among the class who have

children and workingmen who are only casually

Doubtless bad Judgment in buying is ele-

FIELD FOR YOUNG MEN.
Secretary Wilson Saws There Il Not Enough
Thorough Training In Scientific
Agriculture.

Washington, July 15.-Secretary
Wilson believes that not enough at
tention is paid to scientific agricul-
ture by the colleges of to-day and he
has taken up the agitation of this
matter as a hobby. Wherever he
makes a speech he tells his. hearers
that his department utilities the serv-
ices of every young man it can find
who has had thorough training in
some branch of scientific agricul-
ture. There is great demand for
this kind of service, and the depart
ment has the utmost difficulty in
holding on 10 its experts because OF
the growing outside calls that are
being made on them.
There are some so agricultural col
leges in the country calling for COM
petent teachers, and some 60 or 20
where there is always an opening for
a trained scientist. There is money
in becoming an agricultural expert
and Secretary Wilson thinks our
young men would do well to choose
such a profession rather than the
overcrowded fields of law and medi-
cine,

A UNIFORM OF GREEN.
No Longer Will the Soldiers Of the United
States Be Termed "Boys
In Blue"

Washington, July 1.-THE army
uniform board has submitted its re-
port to the secretary of war. The
board recommends some very radical
and far-reaching changes in the uni
forms of both officers and men of the
army. No longer can the American
army be termed 1.-THE boys in blue"
In the future they must be called
"the men in green" for the famous
and characteristic blue field uni
forms, if the recommendations Of
the board are adopted, will be done
away with except for occasions of
semi-dress. For a field uniform the
board has designed suit of khaki
color-not by any means pre-
senting a beautiful appearance, but
considered by army officers as most
serviceable. In the summer and for
hot climates this uniform will be Of
light weight and in the winter and
cold climates of heavy material.

appalling disaster, only less fright
full than the awful calamity of May
81, 1889, in cost Of life. A terrible
explosion took place in the Cambria

1t was nearly an hour after tho
explosion before any general knowl-
edge Of what had happened got
abroad. Men who came from the
mines, escaping with their lives, told
the terrible news and soon it spread
like wild fire all over the city. In
scores Of homes there was the most
pathetic scenes. Mothers, wives,
daughters, sons and relatives were
frantic with grief and hundreds
rushed to the scene.
At the opening across the river
from the point the Cambria Iron
company police, with several assist
ants, stood guard, permitting no one
to enter the mine from which noXious
gases were coming. 1t was nearly

reached the outside.
Mine Foreman Rodgers, his assist

John Whitney, John Retallick and
John Thomas were overcome by the
gases and it is feared they perished
in an heroic effort to rescue the
miners. A son of Harry Rodgers
then tried to reach his father, but
he was quickly overcome by the dead

occurred at Mill switch, two miles
east of Chester. The passengers
were robbed and both safes in the

and the train generally carries very
little treasure. The mail car was
not molested.
Among the passengers, who num-
bered about 60, were many ladies,
two Of whom tainted. Several of the
passengers succeeded In secreting
their valuables, but many of them
lost considerable sums. But one per-
son was hurt. Engineer Perry Ru-
land failed to obey an order of one
of the robbers promptly and was
knocked down with the butt Of q
