Rrain-Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly no.
ton that one kind Of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet will not
only nourish particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet however good your food
may be, its nutriment is destroyed by
indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular doses of

MUST NOT GROW WEARY.

The Lancaster Teller tells mighty
sight of solid truth in the subjoined ar
ticle. 1t is a reply to the Madison Jour
nal, whose editor is the Orlando Bur-
nett" who writes much one-sided fac
tional gush for numerous papers. The
Teller article strikes square from the
shoulder:
The Madison Journal, commenting on
the course of the Milwaukee Free Press.
saws 1t draws its breath of life from
factionalism, and ''the people Of the
state are weary of factionalism, they
want peace" What is factionalism? A
clique that puts itself in the way Of
measures authorized by the party to
which the clique processes adherence ia
a faction What they try to do is a fac
tionalism. The party that stands by its
declaration Of principles, cannot proper
ly, because kickers within it attempt to
defeat the principles, be called faction
The kickers are the faction. They are
rebels. AS well say JEFF Davis and his
faction were the Union party and
should have had their way in the ruling
of the nation when Lincoln was elected,
and that the Lincoln party was the fac
ton, as to regard the Whitehead kick
ers as the party and should have their
way In settling the primary or the state
tax question in the legislature. 1t is the
Whitehead kickers that draw their
breath of life from factionalism. and
true enough 'the people of the state IRE
weary of them"
''The people Of the state"-the repub-
lican branch of them-in con yention as
sembled, voted 500 strong against 200,
for the measures which this Whitehead
faction are trying to defeat. When the
election came along 'the people of the
state, voted by 80, 900 majority against
the combined votes of Whitehead kick
ers and democrats for these measures.
When the measures came before the
legislature, the assembly freshly elected
by the people, voted nearly unanimous
ly for them. The senate, only half of
whose members were freshly elected,
had only 10 members out Of 33 in the re.
bellious faction. Out of the 1873 mem
beers Of the two houses more than three
fourths are for the primary. Of the 115
freshly elected the favorable vote is
nearly unanimous Now it can be said
for the Free Press that it was on the
peoples side in all these conclusions, yet
the kickers have the impotence to say
that 1t draws its breath of life from
factionaIism.
More 1t says. THE people of the
state have given La Toilette four years
and two legislatures with which to get
results. If he fails they may cry quits.
T. y is what the rebel faction hopes for.
They think to weary the people. The
people will give up their rights rather
than do so much fighting for them.
This is the history of the world, mainly
and they expect history to repeat it.

ALL DUE TO PHOTOGRAPHY.
How the Art Has Very CuriOus1y
Worked Injury to the Trade I'm
Commercial Fertilizers.

The idea that the spread of photog-
raphy could do severe injury to the
trade in commercial fertilizers, and espe-
cially to the conversion of raw phos-
plate into plant food, seems at first
sight absurd.
Yet so 1t is, and in this way, says Stray
Stories Phosphates and bones, to be
made available as soil improvers, must
be treated with sulphuric acid Now,
sulphuric acid will dissolve most metals
as easily as water does sugar Platinum
is almost the only metal upon which it
has no effect.
So, in spite of their great cost, man
ufacturers have generally employed re-
torts made of platinum alloy for the
concentration of sulphuric acid These
retorts used to be made in Paris and
cost $500 to $4,000 apiece.
To-day such thing as platinum re-
tort would cost literally a fortune, for
platinum, owing to the introduction of
the platinotype process in photography,
has gone up from about five dollars an
ounce to the present price of $40 an
ounce. 1t is indeed nearly as costly as
gold.

The Indians are rapidly catching

Moki snake dance for 1903 at Wolpi,
Arizona, on the Santa Fe, is a good
example of how the modern CONNER

itors have been permitted to witness
this spectacle without money and with
out price, the Indians being content
with what they could pick up from the
camera fiends for posing, and from the
tourists generally for baskets, pottery
and blankets. This year each visitor
was charged a dollar. with a sliding
scale of special favors like going down
into the kiva where the snakes are
kept
