! APOSTLES OF EATING LESS.ssa
Food Faddists Have Had Great Yea1
y -. for Their The0ries }s4a

=
). Ithas been fine year for the increas-
ling thousands who have fads about their
food. The high prices Of almost every
thing in the market have given the5op-
portunity. The advocates Of no break
fast, Of meat once day.. Of no meat at
all, of certain kinds Of vegetables, of sno
kinds Of vegetables, Of nuts only; of the
absolute avoidance of nuts, sf raw fruit.
Of fruit only when cooked, Of neither
coffee nor tea nor sassafras, and Of all
the other things, or of any part Of things,
or of no things at all. have come forth,
not singy, but in battalions, and have
told us how to live to be to a hundred
if we don't die.
1t would be gross ingratitude not to be
thankful to these advisers. They are
sincere. They want to do good. They
give their time for the benefit of others.
They are sad to think of ignorant thou
sands going to early graves on full stom-
achs. They raise their warning voices
against safety. People should stop eat
ing before they get enough. The old say
ing about ,lOsing what is left on plates
finds no echo IN their doctrines. Eating
for the sake of eating is sin. Eating
all the things that are offered is wicked
ness. So they find something bad in

typhoid fever in raw oysters to dyspepsia
and vain regrets in pie.
They haye right to their convictions
A man down in Virginia went without
food for thirty days this year. But like
as not they doubled the price of his board
fot the next month. People use the
starvation plan for many ailments. Many
Of them 60 to health resorts and pay $50
to the hotel doctor, who strikes off from
the bill Of fare all the good things they
would like to eat The hotels@gft: their
savings, the doctor gets his Big fees aniid
they get-hungry. But most of the fad
dists have their imaginations in their
culinary departments, and it is not rea-
sonable Of them to expect the robust
members of society to follow their ex-
amples. 1t may be wrong, but the aver
age American wants breakfast. 1t may
hurt him. but he will have meat. He
may be jeopardizing his very soul, but he
likes to play with the menu all the way
from soup to satisfaction. And some
how it agrees with him. Look at the
other nations. We don't know of any
that beat him when the food or the fuel
within him works it's way to results in
the progress and civilization Of mankind.

WHEN IN DOUBT. ETC.

"HCN IN UOUDI, EIC.
Bishop Brewster Of Gonnecticut tells
this story illustrative of his wife's clev-
erness. One day they visited mission
school, and in kindly catching the chill
dren he asked:
''Who is your neighbour"
A dead silence followed the question.
Finally one little girl raised her hand
and made the most unexpected and amaz-
ing reply, "God.'
On the way home the bishop said to
his wife:
Nov, what do you suppose that child
had in mind to give such an answer?"
Il suppose" replied Mrs. Brewster,
that she was following that rule of a
great many older people, when in doubt

A WAITING WAITER.

A VAIIINV
At Montreal recently a police court
ma"'strate asked prisoner what he was
doing at the time Of his arrest.
Il was waitlng," said the accused.
"Waiting for whom?' asked the mag
istrate.
"Just waiting,'' came the reply.
"What were you waiting for?"
"For my money"
"Who from?'
''The man 1 was waiting for"
"What did he owe it you for?"
''For waiting"

THE CLUE THAT FAILED.

Deductions in the manner of Sherlock
Holmes do not always work out success
fully, as is shown by the following story.
A group OF reporters were talking to-
gether; and one of them, who liked to
play the amateur detective, devoted part
Of his time to watching man standing
some distance away.
THAT man used to be in the army he
said.
How do you know?"
''See how he puts his hand into his
his coat-look, he's doing it now-in-
stead Of pushing the coat back as we do.
He acquired the habit from wearing a
fatigue coat in the army. A fatigue
coat, you know, is cut square about the
body. To put the hand in the trousers
pocket, one must lift up the side.''
Some discussion followed, with the re-
suit that one of the reporters volunteered
to lay their speculations before the
stranger. He, proved+to be wealthy
real estate dealer. After listening to the
reporters explanation, he replied, with
much amusement:
"Ill tell you why put my hand in my
pocket that way. I used to be butcher
in New York, thirty years ago, and
got that habit raising MY butchers apron
to make change"

originated In New York politics and as
serted that It could be cured by separating
municipal and party politics.

Of the city are let out at an exorbitant
price. All the apparatus OF the depart
ments must be bought through agents, who
receive enormous commissions. Before a
captain OF police can secure appointment
he must pay a large sum of money. He
reimburses himself by illegal protection
money and on a comparatively small sal
airy retires after a few years with a for
tune Of a half million dollars.
"The only remedy is to attack the evil
in its cause, and to part the control Of the
parties on municipal affairs"
