NEGATIVE DIETING

Threatens to Eliminate All Natural
Food from Our Bill of Fare.
Death by elimination seems to be
the fate that confronts us all; that Is,
II we conform to all the discoveries
and forbiddances which hygienic sci
entists present us. Such is to be the
exterminating effect of food expert
ments that nothing will be left for us
to live on and no mealtime left for us
to eat it in. The relief afforded the
race by the microbatic conquests will
be Offset by the knowledge that there
is nothing good nor safe nor nourish-
ing under the sun; that man Is born
to dyspepsia and disease and death,
and that the only amount of happi-
ness he can expect is for a forty day
period by the Tanner route.
In our childhood days-we believe
there are no longer such things for
any member Of the receive "pieced"
between meals. A big slice of bread
and butter, well jammed-heaven was
the vision of fulfilled desire, and we

mothers that 'piecing" was bad for
the stomach and that was eliminated.
This was really the signal for the
onslaught, back and forward. Babies
had to have prepared foods, and the
child who was not brought up on one
of these could not hope to attain the
prize, neither from the food company
nor from life. But the adults are suf-
fering far more. At the beginning of
the day they have been denied their
breakfast; to go without breakfasting
has been advertised as the wade me-
, cum of health. If you We're thin you
became fat; if you had embonpoint
you grew gracile; If you had any Ill 1t
fed. Then came the tabloid lunch:
two or three little pellets suf1ced for
the middle of the day. Dinner we
have yet with us, but how long we
know not.
Meat has been slandered because It
is bad for the temperature and for
the temperament; vegetables have
been ordered discarded because they
made too much work for the stomach;
i breadstuffs are tabooed because they
make too much work for the alimen-
tary canal; fresh fruits have too much
acids and cooked fruits too little nour.

Slips.

1t is a part Of the seeming ill-luck
belonging to circumstance that an ar
fist may spend time and genius ON a
piece of work, and then fail conspicu-
ously in some detail.
There is story that one Royal
Academician gave a hand Ave fingers
and a thumb, and that another painted
live lobster red.
The clever Goodall had been engaged
in painting a number of laborers drag
ging huge stone across the desert,
and a man of science, entering the
studio, said to him:
Il say. Goodall, If you want those
fellows to pull that stone, you must
double their number. 1t would take
just twice as many"
But it is not modern painters alone
who slip up on points Of accuracy Even
Albert Duerer, in a scene representing
Peter denying Christ, painted one of
the Roman soldiers in the act Of smok-
ing. Turner put rainbow beside the
sun, and in another picture he got
wofully tangled In the ships rigging.

ment and the conventions wholly aside
aud at the altar steps drew a bill OF
rights upon the groom and cowed
the helpless creature into signing 1t
then and there This, It seems to us,
is going too far, especially as the
document as drawn was fiercely ex-
plicit In defining the wlfe's rights and
the husbands duties and more fiercely
mute as to the husbands rights and
the wife's duties. Marriage, according
to some opinions. is not the establish
ment Of relations between two hostile
powers with different interests, but
the ceremonial announcement Of re
ciprocal trust and amicability already
formed not treaty Of peace, but a
recognition of Its existence. Why,
therefore, "bill Of rights" for either
party to the, contract? Fortunately
the uselessness Of the innovation win

husband signed, because he was
scared, but compulsory acquiescence Ii
apt to be peculiarly impermanent, and
to have yearning for freedom In the
near background. AS much as wives
have obeyed in the past because they
promised to do SO, SO much will hus
bands observe the provisions of al
| agreement like this.

One for the Farmer.

WELL" said Farmer Briggs to the
artist, how much will zee paint my
farm with me standing at the door
for?"
"Oh, five guineas," said the artist.
"Done," said the farmer. Come to,
morrow"
In due course the painting was fin,
ished. But, alas! the careless artist
clean forgot to paint in the worthy
farmer on the picture of his farm.
"Yes, like it," said the farmer
"but where's me, lad-where's me?"
The error he had made flashed across
the artist. but he tried to pass 1t of
with a joke.
"Oh," he said, you've gone inside
TO get my FIVE guineas."
"Oh, have II" said the nettled ole
chap; ''p'r'aps I'll be comm out soon
and If dew I'll pay you; in the mean
time We'll hang 1t up and wait"

Said President Roosevelt In his adj
dress at Antietam's battlefield: "There
was no patent device for securing vic
tory by force of arms forty years ago,
and there Is no patent device for Sc.
curing victory for the forces OF
righteousness In civil life to-day. In
each case the all-important factory was
and is the character Of the individual
man." Those who have methods"
for mending or ending social and po-
litical evils would do well to reflect
ON the presidents words. The plain
truth Is that the human race Is neither
made by its saints nor marred by its
sinners, but is made or marred by its
average men. Neither those whose
Righteousness is greatest nor those
whose righteousness Is least, either
save or destroy the state directly.
The latter destroy it only as they are
able to influence the average man to
be more sinner than saint, and the
former save 1t only as they are able
to influence the average man to be
more saint than sinner The great
problems of American life to-day ex-
list just because too much attention
Is given to the wishes Of those who
stand at the extremes of society and
not enough to that great majority
which stands in the middle and Is
composed of average men Legisla-
ton, for instance, pays much atten-
ton to the welfare of the very rich,
and of the very poor, but gives very
little attention to the welfare Of those
who are neither rich nor poor. Thus
we have an abundance Of laws relat-
ing to and protecting organizations OF
capital, and, lately, too, to organiza-
tons of labor as such, but very few
relating to the average men, who in
the end pay the profits of organized
capital and the wages of labor. In
view Of which 1t seems high time that
more attention be given to the welfare
| of the average man, for in the end
civilization must be advanced or put
back. not by saint alone or sinner
alone, but by the average man.

when the Circus Comes.

There are pleasing recollections called up
by the tented show,
Memories of youthful pleasures in the
days of long ago; &
Wildly again are pictured scenes that
then enjoyed renown.
And the same old thrills we're feeling
when the circus comes to town.
We remember how the urchins then by
scores were supplicants ~
For the job of Juggling water for the
thirsty elephants;
How they used to gather early and ex'
press their wOnderment,
For a palace Of enchantment was the
old-time circus tent.
We remember how we struggled for
seat down near the ring,
To be close to clown and riders and keep
track of everything;
How we watched with wide-eyed wonder
when each daring leap was made,
How we Toasted on the peanuts and tint
ed lemonade. a.
We remember young ambitions in those
old-time circus days,
When we yearned to wear the spangleS
and disport in public gaze;
How we envied all the riders their con-
nection with the show, -. /:
And how sadly we lamented when wy
saw the circus go.
1t is not the old-time circus that now
gayly comes to town,
Not the old-time beasts and riders anu
the solitary clown;
For by train loads now performers "iO
accessories are brought, r.
And the tented show is spreading ger
forty-acre lot.
Great and many are the changes s'nSS
those happy early days nd
When the little circus charmed us' aHO
in wonder we would gaze H..
But there comes the same OLD leeiiHe
and we simply have to CO. .-od
Though there's risk of getting crosS-e'sS
at the modern tented snow -.

No one could have supposed that q
company of girls would go out on
strike because there were too many
mirrors in their workroom. 1t has
happened, however, in New York. The
trouble was that the foreman had ar
ranged the mirrors round his desk so
that, without seeming 10 notice, he
could see whether or not the girls were
working steadily. When the device
was called to the attention of the pro-
prietor, he sided with the girls, and
the strike was ended.

Tailors seem content to remain su-
pine and permit the dressmakers to
hold all the dress conventions, but it
will In time be made clear that in
order to induce people to dress well
and to make a broad breach In the
multitudinous army Of shabbiness
there will need to be exhibitions of
dressing. Contempt of good clothes is
. weakness which it Is to the tailor's
interest to overthrow. No falser SEN
timent ever was disseminated than
Don't Judge a man by his clothes"
CaFelessness of clothes is carelessness
OF character. Shabbiness goes with
dirt and dirt goes with shiftlessness,
and shiftlessness goes with a weak
intellect, and then you begin to get
close to crime. A clean collar is an
aid to integrity, and a new suit OF
clothes insures happiness for twenty
four hours. Twenty-four hours OF
happiness is not TO be looked on with
contempt In this melancholy world.
