RAW FOOD DOCTRINE.
Meats Should Be Cooked - Moderate
Flesh Diet Good.

From the New YORK Mail and Express.
The uncooked food enthusiasts gave a
banquet last night. at which. by all ac-
counts, they had several very good things
to eat. That is not surprising. for by TAX
ing deep thought and employing skillful
cooks the food cranks of any sort are able
to prepare excellent dishes We apply the
word cooks advisedly even to these peo-
pie who do not do any cooking, for IT takes
a born cook to combine green things fruits
and nuts into palatable and digestble
salads and other cold or tepid raw mix
lures.
The reason and the science Of the food
question are the common sense Of 1.-THE
sense. that is. of the people themselves,
who for unnumbered ages have been strug-
Cling with the problem OF Authorization.
Eating has been customary for many gen.
erations. 1t Is not. as some of these people
seem to suppose, a practice that mankind
has just taken up. And experience die
tates that each person should eat whatever
he can readily digest and assimilate, and
also conveniently get hold of. be it beef
mutton. vegetables. fruits. nuts. fish. fowl.
shrimps. snails. rattlesnakes or anything
else that is handy. 1t Is the stuff we get
into our blood and muscles our bones and
nerves. not into our stomachs, that counts.
The simple truth Is that nothing Is more
difficult of digestion than a vegetarian diet.
unless 1t Is a raw food diet. Either one
may serve for those who have naturally a
good digestion and who live in the open air.
For the average person who lives indoors a
moderate flesh diet is highly desirable.

Bespon by diet of raw food can be found.

look at IS greenback You will see a pic
ture in the center, a small portrait called
a vignette, on the left, and in each of the
upper corners a network of fine lines with
a dark ground, one containing the letter

vignette it is first necessary to make a
large drawing on paper with great care,
and a daguerrotype is then given to the en-
graver. who uses steel point to make on

is linked and a print is taken from it.
While the ink is still damp the print is
lard down on a steel plate. which has been
softened by heating it red hot and letting
1t cool slowly. 1t is then put in a press
and an exact copy of the outlines Is thus
made on the steel plate. This the engraver

INSPECTION OF CHANNELS.
Potomac River to Be Dredged Where
Necessity Exists.

Acting under instructions from Gen. Gill
lespie. chief of engineers, Col Allen. the
engineer officer in charge of local river
and harbor works, is making an examina-
ton of the channels of the Potomac river
at and below the city of Washington. with
a view to the institution of any dredging
operations that may be found necessary
in the interests of navigation. This action
was taken at the instance of the Commits
sioners of the District and was based upon
representations to them by the Norfolk
and Washington Steamship Company that
the river channel was shoaling to a dan
gerous degree off Giesboro' Point and also
In the Washington Channel opposite the
city docks. If found to be necessary steps
will be taken at once to dredge the cham
mel to the proper depth.

The Farmer and the Birds.
From the Galveston News.

There was time when the farmer looked
on nearly every bird except the buzzard as
his enemy. That was In the long ago, when
the average man had not given any study
to ornitholegy. The .'used-to-be-a-farmer'
robbed the nests of quails for the eggs. and
killed the birds in droves when he could get
them in line on the ground. The black
bird was an especial object Of his dislike
and he did not see any use for. the common
meadow lark. He despised any bird that
picked a grape or a cherry. and sapsuckers
and woodpeckers Were an denomination in
his eyes. II he respected the dove at all it
was because he supposed that it was
descendant of the identical dove which
brought back a branch to Noah In his ark.
and thus saved the world from everlasting
food He had cordial and religious
hatred of the raven because 1t disappointed

THE HARDY SEX,
Wears Low Shoes and Openwork Stock
ings in Cold Weather.


From the Chicago. Inter Ocean.
1t is yet to be proved that women who
wear low shoes are more subject to colds
than those who wear high shoes AS yet
1T is to be proved that those who are con-
stantly on their guard against what is
called exposure live longer than those who
do not care. When women not only sur
vive a tickle climate, but come out of its
most trying changes In clothing of a
weight that men would hardly feel, 1t is
difficult to see how their health can suffer
because they wear low shoes.
Now take man-take the average man.
He puts on five thicknesses of clothing on
a cold day. He is not content If the tenn
perature is below 10 in his Office. He would
not think of stepping across the street
without putting on his overcoat. In most
cases. he would not venture out without
his muller and oyerShOes. And take that
mans wife. She wears two or three thin
thicknesses of clothing. She doesn't mind
the weather. She will meet the blasts of
winter with unconcern. In her home, she
will allow the furnace to get low. She
will follow a caller to the door, out on the
veranda, and talk and talk, entirely I'M
mindful of wraps
Her husband takes colds-all kinds of
colds-every kind that Is going. He won
ders why he takes cold. His wife is good
enough to wonder with him and tells him
he must be more careful of himself. May
be she will insist that in addition to all
of his other precautions against exposure
he shall wear a chest protector a por-
Gus plaster. But she takes no colds. That
is. she seldom does and. IL she does, she
attributes the cold she takes not to care
lessness. but to the fact that she has in
advertently undertaken to be too careful
of herself.

An Appeal to the Churchcs.

We wish to express through the press
our gratitude for the hearty response OF
the churches to the appeal on the tenn
perance question.
The appeal was for the enforcement
of existing temperance laws and for the
removal of all distillere5 from local
option territory, by incorporating
churches and school houses against the
manufacture and sale, thus securing
prohibition in those sections not other
wise protected from the liquor traffic.
BY this means. the church and the school
being such great factors in our State
whole counties might be freed from this
dangerous business
We hereby express the earnest hope
that the committees appointed in the
local churches to cooperate with the
Central committees from all the churches
will be alert to make temperance senti-
ment and be ready to cooperate in all
Christian ways for eliminating this
from the commonwealth.
1t is gratifying to find the church so
united upon this question. The state
ment in Liquor Dealers Association
that the church can destroy our bust
ness and it knows it," may be proved by
the churches in North Carolina.

Locke Craig for Senator.

To the Editor: The election of the
Hon. Locke Craig to the United States
Senate is the hope of tho Democracy of
the mountains. Crush Republic lnisp in
that section and it will be destroyed in
the whole State, but if it maintains is
foothold there it will have a nuclucs of
dangerous party.
AS United States Senator Locke Craig
would lead the enthusiastic and trium-
plant Democracy of the West.
If the people of the State could realize
our political conditions they would not
hesitate to elect our man.
He is worthy of the place and would
make a great Senator. He has fought
our battles and is the leader whom We
have followed with the assurance Of VIC
tory. He has been foremost in sa Wing
the West from Republication and the
East from negro domination; he has made
every sacrifice for the party and main
tanned its cause with the ability, the
courage and the devotion that has en-
deared him to all our people.
We are in earnest about this thing.
We love Locke Craig because we know
him. We ask this Legislature to make
him Senator. and if it does the state
will be honorcd and the West will be
rescued from Republicanism.

Two Important Bills,

Two bills of considerable interest were
discussed by the House Committee on
Agriculture yesterday Sftcrnoon; but
no action was taken by the committee
on either of them.
One of these bills was introduced by
Henry T. King, of Pitt, and provides
that in case a contract for farm labor
is broken by either party before the
crop is made, the party so breaking the
contract shall be guilty of a misdemean-
or, and be liable to punishment just as
any other criminal.
The other bill was one introduced by
Representative Goode, of Cleveland, to
regulate tenancy. Its object is TO pro-
teCt the landowner in cases where a
tenant has been provided with all the
necessaries of living by his landlord and
then, before the crop is made, moves
away to somebody else's land.
This committee is now organized, with
e. L. Daughtrdgc, OF Edgecombe, as
chairman, ana j. B. Little, of Pitt, as
secretary.
