Brain.FOOd Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad
has been branded by the most
competent authorities. 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
a particular part of the body, but
it will sustain every other part.
Yet, however good your food
may be, it's nutriment is de-
stroyed by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses
of Green's August Flower. the
favorite medicine of the healthy
millions. A few doses aids di-
gestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifies the
blood, and makes you feel buoy

In his first messa to the
Legislature Gov. A. J. Montague,
of Virginia, devotes much atten-
ton to the question of good
schools and good roads. He
forcibly states some wholesome
truths in regard to the rural
schools, and what he says applies
in large measure to every State
in the South.
The tendency to multiply the
rural Schools" he says, "has
greatly impaired the efficiency
of the system. We need
stronger schools with longer
terms. Such schools will com
mand better teachers and admit
of the classification necessary
to the best educational results.
1t is quality rather than quantity
that counts in education. The
State can better afford, as res
poets cost and efficiency, to
transport it's children to one
good school than to put an indif-
ferent school near the door of
every patron. Such transporta-
tiOn has been found economical
and beneficial in several of the
States and in time doubtless will
be introduced into all sparsely
settled communities. Some CEN
tral authority should be estab-
lished in each county to fix the
number of schools under such
limitations and regulations as
the State Board of Education
may prescribe.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET

The republican state ticket contains no
surprises The denomination or Governor
Van SAINT BY reclamation was a, well mer-
tied expression of approval of his admin
istration In general and his courageous
assertion Of the authority Of law IN par
ticular. Secretary Hanson, treasurer
Block, Attorney General Douglas ana
Commissioner Staples were >compllmenteo
by the same form of endorsement. Mr..
Jones' candidacy for lieutenant governor
was without opposition and the honor
naturally fell to him by reclamation. -
The result as to the authorship was
generally anticipated, at least for some
hours prior to the assembling of the con-
vention. MIR. Iverson has served long and
acceptably in the Office Of auditor OF state
as chief deputy, and is peculiarly quail
fed by experience for, the responsible
place to which he will be elected.
The most exciting contest of the con-
ventioh came near the end, when MT.
Reese was defeated by: Mr.: .Pidgeon for
the office of clerk of the supreme court.
Two things doubtless lead to Reese's de-
feat. He is recognized as an active re-
publican, who has done efficient work on
the stump and in other ways, but his
Identification with the so-called st. Paul
gang, and the fact that he has enjoyed the
emoluments of the smostaproftable office
in the gift Of the state for eight years. no
doubt Influenced the action of the conven-
ton. The officer Of clerk of the supreme
court is sinecure: There was nothing
to be said in favor Of the St. Paul candi-
date, on the scoresof long service in that
capacity. The work is done by expert:
enced deputies. and the state will be
served just as we'll by Mr. Pidgeon as it
has been by Mr.. Reese.

"BooMv NOVELS

Some experienced publishers state that the
least permanent successes of the novels they
publish are those which start off with big
boom of 100000 copies. A considerable num-
Der of these boom novels sell meagerly
after the first year. Some may prolong the
boom into the second year, but the fate Of
''Trilby'' is the fate Of most of them. It is
certain, that the largest amount Of expert ad-
vertising could not secure another boom for
'Trilby. ;" ''Trilby," however, helped Du
Mauriers bank account handsomely, and on
the strength. of the ''Trilby" boom he sold
his rights in THE Martan'' for $50, 900, but he
did not live long enough to enjoy his profits
much, or to witness the collapse of the
'Trilby'h boom. It Is only necessary to in
spect the files of the magazines with book
review departments or literary periodicals
running back quarter or half of a century
to discover the books of yesterday which had
vogue and were talked about vigorously and
were soon forgotten. 1.-The Lamplighter, u
where is it to-day? Yet 1T had the temporary
vogue of 'Trilby.'' Who can tell which OF
the favorites of to-day may live In public

have steady sale year after year. The

they all love to publish boom novel
nevertheless, and some of them use much

dictions that such and such novel they, are
about issuing is bound to break the record.
The record may be broken, but the strength
of the :"boom" may be spent utterly.

THE lSTHMIAN CANAL

The cabinet was engaged. yesterday, in
discussing the preliminaries of canal con-
struction. The first work. of course, is
to secure an absolutely clear title to the
= plant and franchise of the Panama Canal
company and obtain from the United
States Of Colombia the right Of way on
reasonable terms. There will be refer
ence to the French courts, which have
passed upon the title for the Panama
Canal company, for afflrmation: In the
matter Of title the utmost care and scru-
tiny must of necessity be exercised.
I The sooner this canal is commenced the
better. Hitherto Great Britain, having
had two-thirds of the entire steam mer
camille navy of the world has been the
nation chiefly interested in the short ar
t1fcial cuts to facilitate ocean commerce.
Suez canal, a-few years after it was
opened for about 10000, 600, in order to
wrest it from French control, and the
canal has proved not ony a good business
| investment but has become essential to
England's secure possession ,of India and
| her other oriental possessions. The ton
l.
mage passed through that canal has In
creased from $500 tons in 1870, to 49,
| 1873, $40 tons in 1901, the receipts last year
| being 1O3,121,726 francs. as compared with
90, 451 ,4o3 francs in 1900, while the work
ing expenses last year were 2s,445,99s
francs, as compared with 2s,14s,2 e4 francs
in 1900 The surplus last year was 61,-
330, 704 francs. The tonnage of Great
Britain has, however, decreased from TIN
per cent in 1890 to So per cent In 1901.
This was partly due to the large diversion
of British shipping to transport service
during the Boer war. but 1t is also. due to
the falling off Of British trade in the
orient.
