They Are Decisions and Shares, Whatever
Their Pretensions.
London Telegraph.
In lecture delivered before the
South vest London Medical Society,
DIR. Robert Hutchinson has been doing
his best to smash some popular idols.
He asks at the outset what is the
necessity for patont foods at all, and,
although he admits that there are
certain scientific conditions which
might justify their existence, he pro-
ceeds roundly to declare that .'not one
of them is worth the money asked fol
il" In one much used food there are
six units of energy for shilling; in
another and in another 161S, while
in shilling's worth of meat there are
5ll; of eggs, LOGS; of milk, 8, 440, and
OF sugar nearly 5000. Even In the
matter of compactness, says DR..
Hutchison, artificial foods, as given to
the patient, do not compare favorably
with manynatural foods. For example,
If it is a question of giving sugar, a
pound of honey, at 3d., is a better
source of sugar than pound of malt
extract at 3s. Again, take cod liver
oil emulsions, as means of admin
istering fat. lin cream you get a
more valuable substance, because ordi-
nary cream contains more than so per
cent of fat, and butter fat is as easily
digested and absorbed as the fat Of cod
liver oil, besides being much more
palatable and considerably cheaper. !"
There are emulsions of lard, but they
are no richer in fat than butter, which
contains so per cent. Again, there
are other foods, combining fat and
carbohydrates, or sugar, which cost Sd.
or Cd. for two ounces, but chocolate
contains more of both, and common
Everton coffee consists of equal quanti-
ties of fat and carbohydrate without
water. So the doctor goes on. saying
grievous things of many products we
look on with great respect, but he OBJ
serves for the comfort of the manu-
faoturers that human nature is the
same as in the days when Naaman, the
leper, refused to battle in the Jordan,
considering the cure too simple. '.If
you tell man to drink milk or to take
any ordinary food he will probably pay
no heed to your advice, but if you tell
him to take So-and-so's patent food,
for which he has some trouble to get
and for which he has to pay good deal,
then he will diligently take large
quantities of it, and boast that he is
doing so.' At the same time, there
is no doubt that in the vastly complex
chemico-physiological problems of diet
there is place for patent foods, and,
as the doctor admits, from the mere
point of view of faith they will often
be more valuable than more common
place remedies.

Harpers Weekly.
1t seems that we we're all wrong about
the hurtful and life shortening effect
of American "hustle. - Our national
motto may be said to have been "a
short life, but strenuous one" We
were willing, as people, to have the
span shortened little if only we could
have something worth while, something
active and effective, going on all the
time. But it seen5, according to the
latest bulletin of the Census Bureau,
that the fast life is also the long one.
Our "median age''-that is, the age
which is such that half the population
is under it and half over tits more
than seven years greater than it was a
century ago, and increases from decade
to decade. We are surprising easy
going foreign countries in this respect
we are surprising even the loose

for whereas the median age of our
American whites is pa years, that of
the devil-may-ca ooiored person is
but 1873. Lately much confusion has
arisen in the minds of many Americans
over the statement made by certain
eminent neurologists that it is next to
impossible for a man to .oyerwork. -
provided bis bodily functions are kept
in good order by temperate and whole

sure, tell us that hurry and worry spell
death. We have accepted tho latter

that no matter what science tells us,
it always seems to have another think
coming" This census bulletin which
links the long life with the fast one
appears to be the other think"

VIDE STREETS.
Expansive Ways Necessary to the Beauty
of Cities,


Century.
A narrow residential street may be
very attractive one if the houses stand
we'll back from the street line, with
pleasant grounds about them. In o
growing town, however, the danger
from such conditions comes with the
liability to convert the street to bust
ness purposes or to erect more COM
paetly disposed dwellings. II bust
ness comes in the transition is conn
monty marked by Jagged lines. Com
mercial structures, often of cheap
and undesirable aspect, are built out
to the street, while the dwellings stand
recessed back at irregular intervals.
And when at last the street is fully
occupied for business purposes it is
altogether too narrow, the roadway
and the sidewalks are cramped and
often a widening has to take place at
the public expense. II built up closely
to the line with dwellings the street
is likely TO lack air and sunshine, and
the tendency is toward squalid condis
tions.
An excellent remedy for these evils
| is offered in the Massachusetts law
| that empowered municipalities to
establish building lines at any desired
distance back from the street line.
| When such line is established no
buildings can be erected on the inter-
| vening space. The municipality ac-
| quires an easement in this strip of
| land, which can still be used by the
| owner for anything but building pur-
| poses, and on the establishment of
such line owners may claim damages,
as in case of taking for street WIDEN
| ing. 1t is, however, commonly more
of benefit than damage to have
property thus restricted, for it assures
a more permanently desirable character
to the street, and in case street widen
| ing should ever be called for no OBJ
| stacles will stand in the way; by TAX
ing the restricted strips there will be
ample room for the wider roadway and
| sidewalks.
Ideals for attractive street planning
are to be found in many parts of the
United States. There is nothing more
charming as a rural street than that of
a New England village at it's best
lofty alsles of LEAKAGE, the trees with
feet in carpet of turf at the sidewalk
borders; the houses, quiet and un-
obstructive, standing we'll back and
marked with the true home character.
whether they are humble cottages or
abodes of the rich. The noblest de-
yelopment of such rural streets is to
be found in the old towns of the Con-
necticut Valley and in Western Massa-
chusetts There the main highways
have an extraordinarily generous
width, often giving room for quadruple
rows of old elms and broad spaces of
turf, the roadway requiring only mar
row space in the total width of the
thoroughfare.

Newark, n. j.
Easton, Md, Sept &c. The Demo-
Gratis of Newark, N. j., in the city
convention unanimously nominated DR..
james T. Wrightson for mayor of that
city. The selection of DR.. Wrightson
was greeted with a display Of en-
thusiasm rarely seen in local con
vention. He is said to be the most
popular man in Newark. DR.. Wright
son is q native of Talbot county, Mary
land. His father was William L.
Wrightson of the Bay Side, who was
sheriff OF Talbot when Judge Richard
Il. Carmichael was beaten and dragged
from the bench in the Easton Court
House by Federal soldiers and police
detectives during the war DIR. Wright
sons brother, Frank g. Wrightson, is
clerk of the Circuit Court for Talbot
county and has filled other public offices
as Democrat. Another brother,
Joshua G. Wrightson, owns Sner-
in Bay Hundred, and resides there. Ie
has two sisters living in Talbot, who
are Mrs. Mary E. Thompson, widow of
Capt. Hedge Thompson, and Mrs. Sarah
ID. Caulk, widow of Frank E. Caulk,
who was prominent tobacco merchant
in Baltimore.
DR.. Wrightson has lived and prac-
tioed medicine in Newark more than
20 years, and has always been actively
identified with the Democratic party.
He was unwilling to take up the hard
work of an election campaign, pre-
ferring to devote his time to his prac-
tice. He only yielded to strong call
to lead the Newark Democrats. 1t is
believed he will be elected, although
Newark is Republican city. He was
county physician of Essex county
several years and later was elected
county clerk in the Republican strong.

1t was discovered Thursday that the
mangled body Of youth found along
the railroad tracks near Perryville,
Md, Tuesday, was that of Joseph
Miller, aged Is years, son of George

fearing that it was his son, went to
Perryville Thursday to examine the
remains. The body had been buried,
but he had it exhumed and identified
and was brought TO this city Thursday
evening. The funeral was private from
the home of his father, Saturday after.

Blue for Deer Hunters.
From the BanaOr News

From the BansOr News,
DR.. E. S. Ford Of Milo says that some law
ought to be passed by the legislature the
coming winter regulating the clothing which
hunters shall wear in the woods. He adds
that he is seriously contemplating the circu-
lation of a petition requesting the passage
Of such q law.
Asked what he thought should be done In
the premises, the doctor said:
ut seems to me that II would be wise
piece Of legislation to pass law making it
compulsory for all persons who hunt in the
woods of Maine to wear blue clothing. Blue
Is one Of the most easily recognized of all
colors, and as 1T looks like no animal in
Maine the likelihood of person clad
being mistaken for deer is reduced to a
minimum.

deem this sufficient protection. Now. as a

PRESIDENT JOHNSON TALKS.
Washington Positively to Stay in tn.
American League.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 10.-President
Johnson of the American League plainly
stated this afternoon that Baltimore could
lock for nothing further In the way Of base
call from his organization, but that Wash
ington would be continued in the circuit
He asserted that the American League be-
lieved it would be successful In holding Del
ehanty in the capital by the enforcement in
the courts OF his two-year contract and
that washington is all right as base ball
city" He intimated that II any further
change in the circuit beyond the substitu-
ton Of New York for Baltimore Is to be
made Detroit will be replaced by Pittsburg.
Mr.. Johnson was at the Criterion with
Messrs. Somers and Kilfoyle.
He also said in regard to Baltimore that
he has ordered Mr.. Olive Bryan. the
leagues attorney in Baltimore. to drop all
legal proceedings in It's behalf. Baltimore
from now on Is nonentity as far as the
American League Is concerned.
When asked II he had considered the pos
sibility of the stockholders of the Baltimore
company legally cont testing the right Of the
American League to deprive them OF their
franchise, he said he had not and would not
consider such a possibility. This will be
DONE however, II the Baltimore men carry
out their present intentions. When Mr..
johnson was asked what would become OF
the Baltimoreans who had put their money
into the club, he replied: Let them ask
McGraw for it, AS for the accounting
they have asked in court from the Amert-
can League for the latter part of the sea-
son. Mr.. johnson said: Secretary Goldman
has the books the American League simply
paid the bills of the Baltimore. club" Mr.,
Johnson denied that Mr.. Goldman or any
other Baltimorean would have any Office
or be in anyway identified with the New
York club.
