The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1903-12-27

The Journal this morning contains the
views of several well-known Indianapolis
ladies' on the subject of identifying the city.
and might have had many more on the
same line, no doubt, most intelligent
women have decided opinions in regard to
improvements needed in municipal house
keeping. While the chief feature of the new
Civic Improvement Leagues plan, so far
outlined, involves the planting of flowers
and vines and the consequent decorating of
bare walls and bits of ground, it will be no
ticed that the women quoted put stress on
most necessary reform. The supreme de-
sire and the constant struggle of the accom-
plished housekeeper is to have her premises
invested with the charm that only immacu-
late cleanliness can give. Furnishings and
decorations are secondary to the sweet and
healthful atmosphere that belongs to the
house spotlessly neat in all it's appoint
ments. This attraction, too, is one that may
be found as well in the two-room cabin as
in the most pretentious mansion-perhaps is
more often found there.
The first thing the housekeeper under
takes in entering into possession of new
dwelling Is to make it clean, and it is nat
ural and logical that she should apply the
same rule Of operations TO city improve
ments. more especially as indianapolis is so
woefully lacking in the rudiments of the
art of neatness. The cleaning OF alleys and
vacant lots. the enforcement of existing or
dinances against the scattering Of garbage
ashes and other waste material and the Sc
curing of new official regulations against
other sanitary offenses, if necessary, pre-
sent themselves TO the housewifely mind as
and fences with vines. OF course, is may be
possible to carry on the two branches OF
work in conjunction. to inculcate principles
of neatness along with a love for flowers
and perhaps that is the purpose of the Civic
League. Possibly 1t is thought that the
transformation of front and backwards into
bowers of beauty will inspire in the owners
Of these yards ambition to keep the ad-
seems reasonable TO suppose that this part
OF the reform may be expedited by object
lessons and enforcement OF laws. At al
events, the suggestions Of the ladies are
worthy OF attention. and IL Will also be wel
for the Improvement society to reflect that
flowers and vines are short-lived and fol
more than half the year cannot even cover

Negroes and Dogs.

An old adage, somewhat rough in express
sion, but quantity representative of folk
lore says, "A fool for luck, a poor man for
children and a niger for dogs" The say
ing really embodies three facts which al
most everybody has seen exempliaed at one
time or another. Without philosophizing at
present on the relation between fools and
good luck or between poor men and large
families. any person account for the
fondness Of negroes for dogs? BY this ii is
not meant that they are fond of dogs in the
sense that Indians are, whose fondness for
the animal leads them TO send him 10 the
pot. where he furnishes their favorite meal
but that they seem TO have real affection
for the animal which has been styled the
most faithful friend OF man.

1t is said that Canada will protest against
the establishment of a United States naval
training station on the great lakes on the
ground that it would be violation of an
existing treaty. This is true. A treaty
signed at Washington in 1917 fixed definitely
the kind and amount of naval force that
the United States and Great Britain might
maintain on each one of the great lakes.
The force on each of the lakes is limited to
two vessels not exceeding 100 tons burden,
and the treaty provides that "all other
armed vessels on these lakes shall be forth
with dismantled, and no other vessels of
war shall be there built or armed" The
treaty has been scrupulously observed by
both powers since 1918 and is still in force.
If Canada and Great Britain choose to
stand on the letter of this treaty they have
u right to do so.

OATMEAL AT THE WALDORF.

Prof Horace Fletcher, of Yale University,
a gentleman who has devoted much atten-
ton to scientific research in chemical physi-
ology and human nutrition, is now staying
at the Waldorf. and says his meals are only
costing him dollar day. Ordinarily Mr..
Fletcher, when in New Haven, spends only
about twenty cents a day on food, but the
higher rates at the Waldorf naturally in
crease his outlay. He says he has all he
wants, and that some days his stomach
demands food amounting TO S110 but next
day his appetite is pretty sure to go down
TO ninety-cept level, so that his bills even
up. Here at the Waldorf" he says, my
appetite has been reasonably regular. 1
have had oatmeal and cream for breakfast
almost every day, usually the same. or a
similar dish, for lunch, and almost without
exception my dinner has consisted of a club
sandwich and a cup of chocolate. This has
cost almost exactly 81, and I've not had the
slightest desire for anything more" He
then goes on to tell of the nutritial value
of oatmeal and of its especial suitability as
a food for winter. Evidently he has not

| ton of oatmeal by a Scottish physician.
This time-honored staple of Scotland the
! physician calls a curse of the country. AS
an article of diet he declares that it is
much overrated. Quarrymen, or other men
who work out doors at hard manual labor.
declares, could eat paving stones. For men
who work with their brains, he continues,
! oatmeal IS almost a poison and leads TO
dyspepsia and other internal disorders in
! Guiding appendicitis. The eating of oatmeal.
he believes. is also responsible for much
drunkenness among the working classes. for
the reason that it creates dry mouth.
AS a matter of course, Professor Fletcher
works with his brains and not with his
muscles, so if the Scottish doctor is right
he is in fair way to have what the medical
advertisements vaguely allude to as 'stom-
ach trouble and is now politely spoken of
in England as a tribulation of Little
Mary"
But, whether wholesome or not, what is
the advantage of stopping at the Waldorf
and eating only oatmeal and club sand
witches? Why not go to the Mills Hotel
where the oatmeal is quite as good, no
doubt. and costs less money? To be sure,
it is not the professors first purpose to save
money, but to save his stomach, but is there
any satisfaction in living on such abstemi-
Gus diet while others all about are indulg-
ing in all the luxuries the greatest market
in the world can afford? Is it that possibly
the gentleman is trying to brace up his
mental and moral nature by putting himself
in the way of temptation to eat rich food
and then resisting the evil? At all events
he is not likely to have many imitators. 1t
will continue TO cost the average Waldorf
board.
