Dear Sir:

The Teche, owing to an obstruc
ton at its source, gets very low III
a dry summer, but for at least
seven months in the year 1t is
navigable up to Arnaudville. LII
the winter quite an amount OF
heavy transportation is done over
it at this point. The Atchafalaya
River could be made to furnish
Bayou Teche the year around with
water adequate for all navigation
and irrigation purposes, by way of
the projected Babin canal, which
would be only 4 miles long, tap
ping the Atchafa!aya at a point
near the northern extremity OF
Lake Bijeau and emptying into
the Teche about four miles north
of Breaux Bridge. The Bahia
canal is considered by experts as
very feasible. and a solution Of
the problem for the Improvement
of Bayou Teche and at the same
time opening direct water route
for the entire Teche country via
the Mississippi to the markets of
the world.-Vallry of the Teche

sands of mail bags bought for the
Government. From the testimony
of one Smith, from whom the bags
were bought, 1t appears that Up
ton instructed him to charge go
cents each for the bags which he
offered to sell ct 90 cents each.
Then Upton demanded 40 cents
commission which he explained
would be divided between himself,
McGregor, Machen and Machen's
brother, this brother being the
same man that Machcn, according
to his ADMISSION to congressional
committee, carried Oh the rolls OF
the Post office Department for
many months under an alias. 1t is
intimated at the Posl-office Depart
ment that there are many other
counts against Machen which have
not been made public but which
will appear in the trial for which
be has been held by the grand jury.
The exposure of the intimacy be-
tween ii. H Rand, confidential
clerk" to the Postmaster General
and Machen, and Rand's methods
of exploiting mining and other
speculative stocks on Post Office
stationary, ETC., has resulted IN
convincing the President that Rand
is not a fl person TO be in the en-
ploy of the Government although
the Postmaster General has not
yet come to that CONCLUSION. Mr..
Ro ;sevelt does not desire to inter-
zee too greatly IN the affairs OF
the Postmaster General and for
that reason will not demand Rand's
resignation Immediately, relying
on the good sense of Mr.. Payne to
show him that such resignation is
inevitable, but if it does not, the
President will doubtless reiterate
the assurance he has made that
Rand has got to go.
The inspectors are now working
on the case of George w. Beavers,
popularity known as "the Congress.
mans Friend" and formerly super.
lntendent of the division of salaries
and allowances. There IA every
reason to believe that Beavers will
be proven to have been as seriously
implicated as Machen and the IN
spectors are confident that they can
prove the existence of salary and
promotion ring and can convict the
men who have been receiving pay
for appointments and promotions.
The work Is proceeding slowly and
the old adage regarding the ssmills
of the gods" Is again being proven
but there Ia no doubt as to exceed

Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1903-04-17

Some small men consume more food
than large ones. The result must de
pend upon n great variety of circum-
stances. II may be said generally that
there is no reason for asserting that II
big man consumes or requires more
food than a small one 1t is of course
evident that any person in good health
and in a healthy climate, doing a large
amount Of physical and mental work.
requires more sustenauce than one
who under the same conditions passes
sedentary and inactive existence.
The proportion OF vital force which
goes toward carrying on the work Of
the body is so much larger than that
which is used In merely building up its
frame that there is no comparison be-
tween the two.
A small steam engine, working at
high pressure and running lot of ma
chinery all day, may be doing double
the work and therefore consuming
twice as much fuel as big one at half
the pressure and working slowly. So
Ii will be seen that the amount of food
required should really depend chiefly
upon the amount of work done. but
habit has so much to do with this mat.
ter that it IS impossible TO formulate
any precise rules.
