Especial 10 The Times ispntch.)
NEW YORK, Feb. 8--Dr. Charles Il
Parkhurst declared last night that he Is
meeting with the support Of million
aires In his project OF providing an ideal
newspaper for the public. to be issued
In New York city. How far ne had
gone with the details of the scheme he
refused to say but asserted that there
was every prospect for success.
st have no idea OF publishing rs!tg-
ious daily" said DR.. Parkhurst. Il be-
lleye in religion and religion IN daily
life; but the news OF the day provides
suggestions for practical use of religion.
The people want news-clean, wholesome
news, that will educate and elevate them,
not degrade.
''My idea is to print facts without Ella
boratIon or establishment and to print
them for just what they are worth. II
they are printable. The point Of sensa-
tionalism to which the news Of the day
is exploited in some newspapers Is simply
disgusting and degrading.
1.-THE time will come when a reaction
will set in that Will prove the practice
Of using alarming headlines of great
type for the illumination Of measre
facts Is Improbable.
Actually, I doubt II the reaction is not
already shown. At all events think
the time Is at hand for the Issue Of a
newspaper according to my ideal"

RULES OF THE WORLD.
Meat-Eating Nations Are the Leaders in
Every Branch of Human Achievement

Meat-Eating Nations Are the Leaders in
Every Branch of Human Achievement
The ruling nations of the world are
meat eaters and history records that
they always have BEEN
yegetarians and food cranks may ex-
plain this in any way they choose, but
the facts remain that the Americans,
English, French, Russians and Germans
are meat eating ma lions, and they are
also the most energetic and most pro-
gressive.
The principal food of the heroic Boer
solder, known as Biltong, is sort of
dried beef. ,affording great deal Of
nourishment in highly concentrated
form.
The weak races Of people are the rice
eating Chinese, Hindoos and Siamese
regarded since the dawn Of history as
non-progressive, superstitlous and inre-
rior physically and mentally to the meat
eating nations who dominate them.
The structure Of the teeth plainly In
dictates that human beings should sub
sist upon q variety of food, meat, fruit
and grains. and 1t Ia unhyglenio to CON
fine ones diet to any one OF those classes
to the exclusion of another.
Feat is the most concentrated and
most easily dgested of foods but our
manner of living Is often SO unnatural
that the digestive organs refuse to prop
erly digest meat, eggs and similar untri-
tious and wholesome food but 1t Is not
because such food Is unWholesome, but
the real reason is that the stomac
lacks. from disease or weakness, some
necessary digestive element; hence aris-
ing indigestion and later on chronic
| dyspepsia
Nervous people should eat plenty Of
meat, conValescents should make meat
the principal food, hard working people
| have to do so and brain workers and

Committee No. 1, Of tho House. decided
to-day not to allow James cowdcn, who
contested tho scat OF Representative Car

any expenses for contestants fees. Tho
decision Of the committee was based
upon the Wow that Cowden had no real
right to contest and that, therefore no
had no claim to any expenses.
This Is the finish Of O. very peculiar
case.
It will be remembered that on the first
day OF December resolution was intro
duced In the House, protesting Against
tho seating OF Glass, he having Speen
elected to all out tho unexplred term OF
Major Otey. who died last spring on ac-
count OF his having been elected under
the new Constitution OF Virginia, the
idea being that the Constitution was In
valid and, therefore, an election held un-
der It's laws was Illegal This resolu-
ton was referred to Elections Committee

that committee decided that the ques-
ton OF the legality OF the Virginia Con-
stitution was too serious one to be
properly considered by this Congress.

It was heard 1t was thrown out as hay.

only a few hundred votes, and the COM
mittee decided that as the public ques-
ton had been settled by tho other COM
mittee the contestant had no right to any
consideration on private grounds
When Cowden filed his claim for fees
that committee took the ground that the
public question involved was the only
one upon which Cowden could possibly
have had any right to claim such al
lowance and as that had been already
decided before he gave notice of contest,
he should have known that he had no
right to contest upon a private right,
the sole basis Of which was his having
polled a few hundred votes in the cleo
ton. Accordingly. his claim was dis
allowed.
