THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also Few Facts on the Same
Subject.

We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living. about vege-
tarianism and many other fads along
the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the
larger cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank is
in his glory, and arguments and theO-
ries galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make us be-
lieVe that our sturdy ancestors who
lived fourscore years in robust health
on roast beef, pork and mutton must
have been grossly ignorant of the laws
of health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended TO any kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in mat
ters of diet, and a mixed diet of grains,
fruits and meats is undoubtedly thu
best.
AS compared with grains and vege-
tables meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in a highly concentrated form
and is digestcd and is assimilated
more quickly than vegetables and
grains.
DR.. julius RemmsOn on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run
down in health and of low vitality
should eat meat, and plenty of it, If
the digestion is too feeble at first it
may be easily corrected by the regular
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal. Two of these excellent
tablets taken after dinner will digest
several thousand grains of meat, eggs
or other animal food in three hours,
and no matter how weak the stomach
may be, no trouble will be experienced
if a regular practice is made of using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply the pepsin and diastase
necessary to perfect digestion, and eV-
cry form of indigestion will be over
come by their use"
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure
it's proper digestion by the daily use of
a safe, harmless digestive medicine like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, composed
Of the natural digestive principles,
pepsin, diastase, fruit acids and salts,
which actually perform the work of
digestion. Cheap cathartic medicines,
Incorporating under the name of dys-
pepsia cures are useless for indigestion,
as they have absolutely no effect upon
the actual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply a failure of the stomach to di-
gest food and the sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to
make daily use at meal time of a prep
aration like Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets,
which is endorsed by the medical pro-
fession and known to contain active
digestive principles.

PHASES OF LUMBER BUSINESS
DISCUSSED BY w. B. STILLWELL

Mr. William B. Stillwell of the
Southern Pine Company, who is in at
tendance at the annual meeting of the
Southern Lumber Manufacturers As
ISOLATION, in New Orleans, read before
that body yesterday paper on THE
Benefits of Uniform Grade and Manu-
facture." In order to point out these
benefits Mr.. Stillwell explained that it
would be necessary to refer first to ex-
listing conditions, covering. in part,
the reverse proposition.
Starting with grades he pointed out
the number and the variations of
meaning when used in different parts
of the country, told Of the differences
and consequent confusion of the diff
ferent inspections. and stated that
matters We're not improved when it
came to consideration of manufacture,
guages, standards and measurements
He cited some instances of log meas
ure to show how unsatisfactory, in
many cases absurd, they are, and
numerous other things in which lum-
bermen generally are interested, all
tending to show the necessity of a I'M
form standard.
Discussing the advantages of uni
formity, he said
But if this side of the picture is
dark, the other side is equally as bright
All that is necessary is to press the
button uniformity--and it will not re-
quire much pressure either for the
whole situation to show a new face. If
any proof be necessary, a moments
glance at other Industries is convincing.
Look at other lines of manufacture.
See how they, by uniform rules and
treatment, get every possible product
from the crude material, get pay for
each, and, without confusion or dis
order transact their business satisfac-
torily and count their profits by the
million.
The lumberman can do likewise-he
need not count his profits by the hun
dreds-it is only the daily eXhausting
of his resources by irregularities,
wastefulness, and the absence of fixed
methods, standards and uniformity that
lead to such a result. Our past record
exemplifes the truth of the old saw
"A baby must crawl before it can
walk
And jabber a little before it can
talk"
But surely it is now high time that
the trade should drop its swaddling
clothes, assume the perpendicular and
move off with the uniform, yet elastic,
stride of vigorous manhood.
Fellow lumbermen, we must con-
cede to the general good somewhat of
local custom and prediction and get
in line with other manufacturing in
dustries in their twentieth centary
march of progress. The benefit will
be felt from start to finish-from log
to structure-from the lumberman in
the forest to the yard man in the city.
1t will mean economy of material,
time, labor, freight; saving of money
and avoidance of misunderstanding
ill-will, litigation and loss.
what a relief uniform rules for
measurements, grading and inspection
would be! Think of the economy in
handling; in machinery, when mod
ernized on the basis of a uniform
standard; in labor, when plants, yards

SHOT IN HEAD
TELLS FUNNY STORY.
Negro Cannot Tell Detectives How
He Was wounded.

Negro Cannot Tell Detectives How
He Was Wounded.
With a bullet wound in the back of
his head, negro who says he is a
Joe McKelvue, a seafaring man of Los
Angeles Cal, is a patient at the Geor-
gia Infirmary. He claims that he was
shot on the wharves at 2 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, but could give the po-
lice no information. and his story is
doubted.
The wounded negro was found last
night under a house near Farm and
Pine streets. and the police ambulance
was summoned. Mckelvue was taken
to the office of DR.. Love on jefferson
street. and was later sent to the Geor-
gia Infirmary. He had lost a great
deal of blood. and the wound may ter
inmate fatally. Detectives Stark and
Murphy and representative of the
Morning News. saw the negro at the
intirmary, and disconnected story
was obtained.
The manner in which the wounded
negro acted aroused suspicion and the
police were unable to determine just
how he received his wound. He stated
that he had been a sailor on the
schooner Jose Olaverri of New York
loading with lumber near the City Ex-
change. He had trouble with officers
of the boat during his service, he said
and thought that one of them might
have shot him. He said that he had
been drinking and that he was stand
ing on the wharf when he heard two
pistol shots. Someone told him that he
had been shot and he saw the blood
trickling down his shirt front. He de-
clared that he didn't even know if he
had been shot and that he could not
tell who had fired the shots he heard.
McKelvue was slightly under the in
tluence of liquor when taken to the
hospital and he told several conflicting
stories. All in all his conduct was
looked upon with suspicion by the de-
tectiVes and they are reasonably GER
tain that the shooting did not happen
on the wbarves at the hour named by
the negro. The Olaverri was in port
loading with lumber and did sail early
yesterday afternoon as claimed by the
wounded man. The officers, however,
are inclined to the opinion that the
negro was shot while running for some
cause. With the schooner at sea and
the wounded man claiming to know
nothing about the ARRAY. the detec-
tives are at a standstill. There was
no report at police headquarters of any
attempted thefts in which shots were
fired at the robber.

TOO GREAT EXPENSE
Not the Reason.

It is not because Pyramid Pile Cure
Is so expensive that many people de-
cline to give it trial, but because they
find it too great tax on their credulity
TO believe that the published letters
bearing testimony to the merit of this
remedy are genuine and bona fide: es-
pecially to those who have realized the
suffering incident to piles is it incredi-
BILE that anyone who has been afflicted
twenty-five and thirty years with the
worst forms of protruding and bleeding
piles should be cured by the application
of a simple remedy, when their physic-
ian has assured them that the only re-
lief is in a surgical operation?
This is rightfully viewed with dread
by ali those afflicted, as it means at
the least great shock to the nervous
system, with more than a possibility of
utter collapse and death; in the ma
jority of cases, too. there is return OF
the complaint, owing to the fact that
the cause is not removed.
The proprietors of the Pyramid Pile
Cure agree to forfeit $1,000 to anyone
who will show a single published testi-
monial to be not genuine and unso-
licited; this latter feature is most graft
flying, inasmuch as these letters are
written solely out of gratitude, and
with the hope that those who are Attic
ted as the writers have been may learn

Western Union Telegraph Co. to
Make Many Improvements.
c. D. Sherman, assistant master of
construction of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, with headquarters
in Atlanta, and H. NJ. Holland, chief
constructionist of this division, of the
same service, were in the city yester-
day arranging to reconstruct what is
known as the city loop, or outgoing
wires, and extending from the telegraph
office down Bay street, west and thence
down West Broad to New street,
where they lead to the coal shutes
and then branch out in every direction
of the country, via the Atlantic Coast
Line.
These wires, sixty or more, are now
strung separately on poles down the
streets, and it is the intention of the
company to confine them in two cables
each cable taking thirty wires. This
work will be expensive. costing about
$1,000 but it is a saving to the company
In the long run as the wires then can
not possible get out of fix or even
require attention. The work will start
soon, probably inside of next month,
or Just as soon as the force now at
Jacksonville is through with similar
service being rendered there.
Along with this work a cable will
also be extended to the Cotton Ex-
change, for the convenience and ac-
commodation of the business that is
done there. Mr.. Sherman also said
that the company has other important
improvements to make here in the near
future, but that at present he is not at
liberty to divulge the outline of the
work, but stated that within few

Crane says, unless the coal had given
out which would have left the vessel
to the mercy of the waves as there
was no way to rig sail on her and
by this means keep her under way. The
passengers though not frightened were
exceedingly indignant as was shown by
the resolutions passed before the ves-
sci arrived. Mr.. Crane was one of the
committee of three to draw these up.
Mr.. Crane naturally feels that he
was badly treated by the company and
like great many of the other pas
sengers has placed his case in the
hands of New York lawyers with in
structions to investigate the matter and
sue for damages if they think a case
can be made out. 1t is likely, Mr..
Crane states, that a test case will be
made shortly and that on the result
of this will depend whether or not
other suits will be filed.

Politics in the Pulpit.
Raleigh Times


A clergyman living in IL North
western State asked the Washington
Post its opinion with reference to
the discussion of political topics i'll
the pul lpit. The answer is as follows:
The Post thinks the duty of a Christ
ian minister, SO far as relates to church
services, can best be performed by preach
ing the gospel The Post knows of no
evil in society that cannot be effectively
assailed by gospel preaching. Intemper-
ance, law breaking of all description and
even immoralities not prohibited by law,
can be squarely hit by texts from Holy
Writ and digniffed disquisitions thereon.
Morality and religion are SO closely
allied that they are literally inseparable.
One cannot be both religious and immor-
al. Therefore, the preachers field in
cludes all moral questions. But the
preacher who treats such questions in
his sermons after the fashions Of the po-
litical can1paigner would do well to va
cate the pulpit and take to the stump.
There is quite enough of political excite
ment outside the house OF worship. PeO-
pie go to church for ministra ton to their
spiritual natures And the preacher who
has not sufficient tact to assail any and
all kinds of sin without failing in that
| spiritual ministration has missed his call

And in this we have the conclusion
| Of the whole matter. 1t ought to be

Travelling Public Should be Protected

Wilmington Messenger.
The Southern railroad officials try
to make it appear that the fearful
wreck of their fast mail train near
Danville was caused by distractions
placed upon the track; but it was
more likely due to fast running over
a dangerous piece of track by an en-
gineer who was not acquainted with
that part of the road This compa-
ny is said to be very short of engi-
neers and is forced to work those it
has overtime and on sections of the
road entirely new to them. There
ought to be a law prohibiting a rail-
road working an engineer, conductor,
fireman, brakeman or train despatch
er more than a certain number of
hours out of twenty-four. We're
there such law there would believer

ed as we'll for the protection of the
