Health and Health Foods.
Are the Latter Really Conducive to the
Former?


1t has been surmised by certain
prophets that at some future time the
human race will live on chemically
prepared capsules and extracts, by
which nutriment viii be conveyed di-
rectly to the system without the inter
vening processes Of chewing and di-
gestion. Certain other prophets have
professed to see "a the multitude Of
health foods now upon the market
beginning Of this era Of pre-digested
food products. The logical eonse-
quence Of the disuse of teeth viii be
their disappearance, and so with other
deliberately constructed digestive ap-
paratus. Perhaps it would be well to
consider whether this state Of things
would be real progress.
There Is no doubt, Of course, that
tc persons of weak digestion the
health fOods-some Of them-are Of
vast benefit, as enabling the consumer
to do his work without losing time
and energy in attacks Of dyspepsia.
But it is doubtful whether the indi-
vidual Of ordinary health gains any
thing by combining his diet to foods
easy of digestion. The digestive or
gans, like other organs of the body,
need exercise to keep them in normal
condition, and if they never come in
contact with anything except food al
ready prepared for absorption into
the blood, it seems as if they would be
in much the same condition as the
muscles which are never employed in
any but the gentlest exertion. The
perfectly healthy human being Is the
one best fitted to exist in all the varied
environments Of life, and a person
tied to any particular system Of diet,
dependent upon a particular kind Of
food for his well-being, cannot be
said TO be in perfect health.
But, it may be urged, what IS the
use Of wasting upon digestion ener-
gies which might be employed IN
work or active recreation7 And
what Is the use Of. the work and
recreation when it comes to that?
The object Of life Is, or should be, iv-
ing, and living so as to get the great
est possible pleasure out of ones al
lotted term Of years; and much Of
this pleasure IS 70 be found in the
simplest processes of existence. The
man who has become so civilized that
he cannot feel the JOY of mere living,
whs cannot wake up in the morning
and feel glad that he IS alive Just be
cause life is good. has lost one Of the
most important rewards Of his labor
He has gone past his goal and Is run
ming away from it. Puritan and as
cetic to the contrary Notwithstanding,
there is a very great and worthy
pleasure to be taken IN ones daily
bread, and that state Of perfect health
IN which one can crafty ones normal
lilings in the way Of diet without fear
of unhappy consequences IS prefera-
bic to any condition in which pre-
pared foods and a restricted bill Of
fare are necessary. Let the aim be
not only to avoid III health, but to at
tain positive health.

Salute for Cardinal Gibbons.

To the Editor of The Washington Times
In cruising around Chesapeake Bay early this
summer I visited, among other places, /.
harbor Of Baltimore citv. II was on the day
that Cardinal Gibbons visited the French war
ship, where he was received with a salute Of
Seventeen guns, the marines and sailors being
drawn up at present arms" VIII you please

from American warships in his own country?

Washington, D. c., July 80.
The cOncordat Of 1901 between First
Consul BonaDarte and Plus VII. still in
force, recognizes the Roman Catholic
Church as one of the state churches of
France. Cardinal Gibbons is, therefore,
a dignitary TO whom the whole French
nation pays official honor. In America
there is no state church and q salute TO
Cardinal Gibbons would. accordingly, be

Girl Became a Favorite.

OF course, the relatives of young
Count Knuth Knuthenborg were at first
bitterly opposed TO the idea Of his mar
rying the young governess, especially
when they learned OF her parentage
But he managed to interest his aunt
Nine. Won Bile, in his "affaire de
coeur," and accordingly she invited
Mile. Pho TO go over to Europe and to
stay with her while the count continued
his trip around the world. The young
girl soon won the heart not only Of
Nine. de Bile. but likewise of all the
relatives of her iance, and on his re-
turn, few weeks ago, from his globe
trotting tour, the marriage took place
at Copenhagen with much pomp and
ceremony in the presence OF several
members Of the reigning family, and the

Representative Lucius y. Littauer's
case now rests with Attorney General
Knox. After a long conference yester-
day afternoon with Judge Advocate Gen
eraI Davis, Secretary Root announced
that the Department OF Justice viii be
asked TO decide whether Mr.. Littauer
violated United States statute when he
interested himself in the glove con-
tracts which E. r. Lyon entered into
with the Government.
Colonel GarlIngton's report on the
Littauer case, and Judge Advocate Gen
eraI Davis opinion were submitted 10
the Department of Justice by Secre-
tary Root, together with a statement OF
the War Departments attitude in which
the opinion of Judge Advocate General
Davis is indorsed.
In his opinion Judge Advocate Gen
eral Davis states that a clear violation
of section 3739 Of the Revised Statutes
is shown in the glove contract entered
into with E. r. Lyon. on December :,
1898, and advises that action be taken
against Littauer Bros, to recover what
ever sum was paid in consideration OF
the contract of December 7. The cou-
tract was for 30,O61 pairs of musl.ra;
gloves at $40 a pair
Point to Be Elucidated.
The one point on which Judge Advo-
cate General Davis is not clear is the
meaning of the words of the statute
providing for he recovery of money
paid on contracts made in violation OF
the Law. 1t states that action shall be
taken to recover money advanced on
the part of the United States in consid-
Grafton of any such contract or agree
meht." The Judge Advocate General
asks that the Department of Justice de-
ternine whether the money paid by the
Government TO Lyon was advanced" in
the sense intended in the statute
Officers of the quartermsster's de-
partment are exonerated by the report
of the Judge Advocate General, who
states that 1t would have been difficult
for officers to have found Representa-
tive Lttauer's relations with Lyon.
Secretary Roots Endorsement OF Judge
Advocate General Davis opinion was as
follows:
Il suppose there Is no doubt that a
manufacturing firm, one member, OF
which happens to be a member of Con-
gress, has q right TO manufacture and
sell goods to jobbers who are filling
Government contracts. and that they do
not come within the prohibition. OF the
statute so long as the contract be-
tween the firm and the jobber is a sep
arate and distinct transaction from the
contract between the jobber and the
Government. There appears to be no
evidence that in the manufacture of
gloves by the Messrs. Littauer Bros. to
be used in filling Government contracts
made By Lyon and others. there was
