"IS is we'll known that men who
are nourished extensively on cereals
are capable of the hardest and most
enduring manual labor. Meats are
quickly digested furnish an abun,
dance of energy soon after consump-
tion, but are not retained in the
digestive organs long enough to sus-
tain permanent muscular exertion.
On the other hand cereal foods are
more slowly digested, furnish the
energy necessary to digestion and the
vital functions in a more uniform
manner and thus are better suited to
sustain hard manual labor for long
period of time.
sit seems probable that the prices
of meat, now abnormally high, will
never again descend to as low a point
as they reached a few years ago, and
hence the condition which now con-
fronts us. which so accentuate the
question of the cost of living, is prob
ably one of permanency. Without
mention of the elements of food apd
nutrition, it is hoped that in the
above resume there have been present
ed some of the essential principles
which may guide our people in q
wiser selection Of their food, both in
respect of it's efficiency for bodily use
and it's demands upon the purse. -

HIS SUGGESTION NO BETTER.

Judge Lambert Tree of Chicago
has been giving his Democratic breth-
rem in Washington little advice on
political matters. He tells them that
the war in the Philippines can be of
no advantage to Democracy as poll
tical issue and that attacks upon the
army will prove boomerang. The
people, he tells them, will note the dis
tinction between an administration
policy, and unauthorized acts of
cruelty, and will note too that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his cabinet are just
as anxious to visit punishment upon
soldiers guilty of savagery as the
Democrats are. He thinks the same
will result from the work of any
smelling committee" that may be
sent to Cuba. The policy for De-
mocracy he believes is to return to the
tariff reform. Judge Tree is certainly
a brave man. Notwithstanding the
prosperity which abounds, the people
retain very keen memories of the
effects of tariff reform in 1898, and
the outcome of all the promises it's
advocates made in 1892, and they will
spot anything in that line as hard as
they will an insulting attack upon
the army. The Democratic leader
realize this, and sthat is the reason
they hesitate Ito take it up. They
may be forced to. as last resort, but
it will only be when they are driven
to the wall. They would undoubtedly
be most nightly pleased to have
Judge Tree suggest an issue that
hadn't such deadly drawbacks to it.
That is what they are cropping for
now, and it is what they can't t find.

DEMOCRATS AT SEA.
CRAS. G. WHITNEY,
Secretary.

The Minneapolis Journal says that
John Lind refuses TO discuss the
gubernatorial question in an lnetr-
view, but to some of his closest friends
he most emphatically states that he
will not be a candidate for governor
under any circumstances. While the
leaders are planning on going ahead
and nominating him anyway regard
less of his known wishes the Journal
says that he will make it known to
them before convention day that such
a move will be useless, and so save
them from the demoralizing condition
such a course would throw them into.
The political writer on the Journal in
commenting upon the matter says that
the Democratic leaders fully under
stand Mr.. Lind's mind and propose 60
ing ahead regardless of his wishes,
hoping that with unanimous nomln-
alton, he will not throw them down.
The writer also says that because OF
this knowledge of Mr.. Lind's desires,
the party leaders are carefully keeping
away from Mr.. Lind, SO that he can
not interfere with their plans The
Democrats are making no other plan 8
as to nominee for the governorship
In fact, outside of Lind they are all at
sea. He is the only man they have
any possible chance of winning with
and in private conversation they ad-
NIT that the Republicans are in better
shape than they have been in years for
a state campaign.
1t really makes little difference to
the Republicans what the Democrats
do, whether they nominate John Lind
or some one else. Doubtless they can
make the best showing in the cam
paign with him, but all indications
point to the fact that this is to be
Republican year in Minnesota and
anyone the Democrats can put up,
John Lind included, will go down un-
der a big majority. The people are
strictly in accord with Gov. Van
SAINTS record as to the enforcement OF
the laws, and will stand by him al
the polls.

VEGETABLES
FOR FOOD.
All Kinds of Substitutes for
Meat Being Sought.
H. W. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau OF
Chemistry, Gives Some Timely
Pointers--Meat Eating is Not Es-
sentiaI to Human Life.

All kinds of substitutes for meat are
being sought by economical people,
and if the price of beef continueN to
soar skyward vegetarisnism is in a
fair way to become fad througho ut
the country. Such is the opinion all
vanced by q. W. Wiley, chief Of the
bureau of chemistry of the United
States department of agriculture. who
has been giving much attention to the
subject of finding substitutes for the
high priced food products.
''There is no doubt of the fact that
meat eating is not essential to human
life, " Mr.. Wiley states, ''and that
man can be nourished,. and we'll nour-
ished, without resorting to flesh diet
The principal argument for the use
of meat is based upon taste, since it is
admitted by all that the function of
foods, 80 Ear as the human animal is
concerned at least, extends considera-
bly, beyond the necessities Of nutrition.
Food is factor in social economy.
Not only do we dema7d that QUIZ food
be nutritious, but also that it be pala-
table. Just at the present time, how
ever, the necessities Of nutritior are
prs-eminent, and questions are pres sent
ed which demand careful scientific
and technical study.
THE question of limiting the diet
is one that deserves more than pass
ing notice and rs based primarily not
on the principles of economy but on
the requirements of hygiene. Both
undernntrition and over nutrition act
unfavo1ably on, the animal economy
causing on the one hand, deposit
of unnecessary fatr and ouFthe other.

by reason of diminished Or insufficient
materials for are moving the waste OF
the bo3y.
"Few people realize what they buy
when ordinary meats are purchased.
In the FIRST place, almost every piece
of meat purchased in the market has
a large quantity Of refuse-viz. the
bones, gristle tendoas and other parts
unsuitable for the table. These of
course, are put in at standard rates,
and the result is that the actual meat
which is ft for consumption for
which, say 90 cents pound is paid
in the market, is, worth % or 30 cents
pound before it is ready fofTcooking.
IA glance al the table expressing
| the percentage Of refuse in animal
foods is most interesting In'the case
of the trimmings of the loin,. as high
az 81 per cent has been found to be
refuse, and the percentage in any kind
of meats rarely falls below To-. If we
should place the average percentage
of the refuse beef Of all kinds as pur-
chased in market at 30, it would prob
ably be below rather than above the
true number.
"Then after the, refuse is cut away
the purchaser buysan immense guam

and beef may be taken as a type of all
meats in general the percentage of
water rises above 20. So, after all, in
purchasing meats in general in the
! open market, only about 25' per cent
/ of the total weight received can be re-

JUNGLE REFUSED HELP.
But Mrs. Turkington Finds Chris
tian Spirit in Mankato.

County Commissioner Paddock
bought tickets for Mrs. Huntington
and family to Sioux City, and they
went on, their way rejoicing last eve

dollar to buy necessities, and others
assisted. Mrs Turkington's uncle, the.
ex-sheriff of Lyon county, sent word
yesterday afternoon, declining to
assist the family. Everybody who
met the family was pleased with their
appearance and glad that the county
commissioner helped them on toward
their goal, Salt Sake City.
Chief Bowen furnished Mrs. Turk
ington with letter to the chief of
police of Sioux City and also to his
cousin, who is sergeant on the

Senator Hoar in his speech in the
senate the other day against our Phil
ippine policy, argued that we should
treat the Philippines as we have Cuba,
and said that we brought home glory
from Cuba and that from the Philip
pines we have brought nothing of
glory. How does Senator Hoar know
that no glory will be brought home
from the Philippines. How does he
know that in the treatment of Cuba
and the Philippines, we have done
tie. best by Cuba2 Time may show
that our supposedly kind treatment of
Cuba was the worst thing we could
do for that island. 1t may further
show that our treatment of the Philip
pines is the one bright spot in the his
tory of those islands. The United
States has done much for the Philip
pines and it will do much morehe. I
time to judge of the fruits of that
work is not now. 1t can be better
done generation from now.
In Cuba our administration OF
affairs has been most creditable one,
but time may show that giving the
island independence was most serious
mistake. This possibility of mistake
will be wholly avoided in the Philip
pines and in all probability will re-
dound to the glory of our republic.

MARTINIQUE DOOMED.

The island Of Martinique seems to
be doomed. The eruption of Mont
Pelee this last week was far worse
than the eruption of May Sth which
destroyed st. Pierre. The lombard
ment there with volcanic stone has
been something fearful, while blazing
gas emitted from the crater travelled
over the surface with terrific force.
1t is very likely that the island will
be evacuated and abandoned, as many
believe that the final result of the
volcanic disturbance will De the sink
ing of the island into the sea. To this
end the minister of colonies for
France as cabled the French governor
at Fort de France to make all possib BILE
arrangements for the embarkation of
the inhabitants of Martinique in tho
event that circumstances should neces-
state it. The people are panic
stricken, as we'll they may be, and
many who are able are leaving the
island of their own accord. Others are
begging the authorities to send them
to places of safety. The United States
may yet be called upon to help remove
the people from a terrible fate, and
help many of them to homes. 1t is
said that the appearance Of the Amer
ican vessels has had very calming
effect, as the people there say: 1.-THE
American flag makes safety" From
all reports it would seem that the re-
moval of the people there to point of
comparative safety ought not to be
long delayed, as the removal of 100,
600 people will be no small job.

assembly at New York have adopted
resolutions calling for better obser-
vance of the Sabbath. They pronounce
against games of all kinds, deprecate
the use of the Lords day for travelling
for either business or pleasure, also
the use of the day for political con-
ferences, and urge upon captains of
industry and all corporate officials
and employers of labor. the safe guard

but that much which is now done on
Sundays could just as well be done
on other days of the week, and the
first day of the week more strictly
preserved as day of rest, and the
