IN lecture delivered before the
Southwest London Medical Society. Dr..
Robert Hutchinson has been doing his
best to smash some popular idols, says
the London Telegraph He asks at
the outset what is the necessity for
patent foods al all, and, although ne
admits .lat there are certain scientihc
conditions which might justify their ex-
istence, he proceeds roundly TO declare
that mot one of them is worth the
money asked for it" In one much used
food there are six units Of energy foT

other sixteen and half, while in

Even in the matter OF compactness,

Then. in thought. there came a rat

And the ST began to boil,
While the terrorizing battle
Went, according unto Hoyle.
Everything was handled fussless-
Fighting Bob was nowhere near.
So the brief ARRAY was cussless,
And no sulphur could appear.

How we swooped upon their line.

Driving them across the brine.

The suggestion made by Assistant
Postmaster General Shallenberger
IN regard to the introduction of
return-letter postage system for the
convenience of foreign correspond
enee has been advanced by some Of
his predecessors IN Office, 1t IS
greatly favored by business houses
having extended relations with for
eign countries, and ii Is IN every
way common sense proposition.
The idea. however, has not thus
car commended itself TO the postal
au1.-1s---es o. other nations, and,
desirable though the innovation
would be. II is doubtful if the near
future viii see its introduction. The
reason for this aversion on the part
of other countries Is not far to
seek. It Is to be found IN the fact
that each one of them IS afraid of
the loss of postal revenues which
might result.
Surprising, for instance, that
such an arrangement existed be-
tween this country and Germany
and one hundred thousand prepaid
envelopes were sent from here to
Germany, while only half that num-
her were sent from there TO the
United States, It will be seen that
10 tllis extent the German postal
revenues would be loser. Mr.. Shall

A GREAT POSTAL CONVENIENCE

lenberger proposes to overcome this
objection by keeping an account of
the number of prepaid envelopes
received in each country becoming
a party to the suggested system,
and to balance the account annually
BY remittances IN the manner now
in vogue IN the interchange of IN
ternational postal money orders. II
is quite probable. however, that this
proposition will be met with the OBJ
lection that It would involve a
troublesome and expensive system
of bookkeeping, aud if there is any
one thing that European govern
ments shun more than anything
else it Is the mourning Of expenses
to which they have not been accus-
toned.
However desirable, from more
than one point of view, the sug-
gested innovation would be, the OBJ
lection to it heretofore displayed
by even the governments of Great
Britain, Germany, and France does
not augur well for It's adoption by
those countries in the near future,
nd much less, Of course, for its

tries composing the International
Postal Union. 1t may come sGne

FRUI TAOE

Now have ripe fruits drawn their fill
Deep out of earth and the sun-thrilled air.
Dewy morn's dawn!-stately, still
Moons browse down in the white-hot flare.
Wind-blown twilights, sowing thick stars,
Over lone fields late shorn of gold,
Shadow old faces at orchard bars
Telling the harvest tales long grown old.
Wings of fight on the waters edge;
Wings of flame on the flowers nm;
boy asleep in the shade of the hedge,
Mother-birds futtering him
Haze on the golden afternoon!
Tinkle Of bells where the cattle
And, to the housewives busy groom,
Happy thoughts of the harvest-hOme!
So, too, sits on the carewOrn face,
Furrowed by tears in the hard years gone,
Sweet content, with hallowing grace!-
Peace, for plenty! as death draws
Wisdom it IS that waits and works!
Pleasure smiles when it eometh late

DR.. w. w. Johnston.

Washington loses an active and valuable
citizen in the death of Dr. W. w. Johnst on,
whose funeral occurs today. For years Dr.
Johnston has been regarded as one Of the
most useful members of the community,
not only applying to the he ling of the sick
the highest principles of Medicine and sur
gerry, for the effective practice of which he
had rare faculty, but engaging in general
works for the benefit of the District His
labors for several years past as chairman
OF the Board of Trade committee on the
public health, which position he flied at
the time Of his death, were of unquestioned
value. His view was broad and his recon-
medations to meet emergencies were point
ed and reliable. He thus worked unostenta-
tiously for the solution of some Of the
pressing problems Of city management, and
his services were highly regarded by his
associates, who understood the personal
sacrifices which he made in order to attend
to this as well as other public duties Dr.
Johnston's nature endeared him to an ex-
ceptionaly wide circle and he will be
mourned long and sincerely as a fine type
of man and useful as we'll as a success

Quibbling Over Technicalities.

The far-fetched attacks upon the eligibil-
ity of President Boynton as member of
the board of education are to be depre-
Gated in the public interest. Gen. Boynton
several years ago performed important and
1nadequately compensated public service as
member of the commission to secure title
to Rock Creek Park, which commission
long ago finished its work and ceased to
exist. He is at this time member of the
Chickamauga Park commission. The con-
tention that this fact renders him ineligible
To serve as a member of the local board of
education or prevents him from receiving
the muniicent compensation Of $500 per
nanced for a single instant. The work of
the faithful member of the board of edu-
cation Involves distinct sacrifice of per-
sonal to public interest. The duties of the
office are so important and exacting, and
their conscientious performance Is so vital
to the city's welfare. that the payment of
few dollars for attendance at regular
meetings Is recognized as ridiculously dis
proportionate II viewed as compensation
The real payment Of the members of the
board of education is in the popular ap-
probation of their public-spirited services
The community is entirely ready TO meet
ats obligation to render this deserved COM
pensation of It's high regard, and is not at
all disposed to encourage the nagging Of
Its officials through bubbles over techni-
calitieS.

In communication between the heads Of de-

the lack or order In the arrangement Of the

there is reason to rejoice in the utterance
