Those Who Are Subject to Mental Strain

From the Sanitary Record: 1t is all
right for the man who labors all day
in the open air to eat freely. but the
Il of ~sedentary habits, the brain
@Jrker, must adapt his way of living
to his needs. He must be we'll nour-
ished, for the brain is incapable of
good work unless well supplied with
pure blood, but such a man cannot pos
sibly furnish vital force to digest three
large meals daily. If he tries it nature
will protest at every step. The chem
ical changes of digestion will be i'm
perfectly performed. The stomach will
neither secrete freely nor churn he
food with cheerful alacrl,y: the pyloric
orifice contracts and allows such
chyme to pass with grudging reluct-
ance; the intestinal lacteals are
ashamed to absorb such miserable pa
bulum, which chokes, irritates and
congests, them, SO the large meal re-
mains in the digestive organs to fer
ment, putrefy and steep the individual
in foul gases and depraved secretions.
But the system can furnish enough vi
tai force to convert a small meal into
ahulum of high standard, which will
be absorbed without difficulty. Three
such small meals are not enough to
keep the individual properly nourished.
however; four to six will be REQUIRED.
Each should consist of but one or at
most two articles Of food, the diet to
be varied by changes at meals. The
portion of food served must be small:
the patient must stop as soon as the
appetite is satisfied and gaseous disten-
sion is proof positive that the meals
are still too large or too close to-
gether.

Whv Teachers Arc Scarce,

To be teacher means more than it
did twenty-five or even ten years ago.
The requirements are infinitely greater
and 1t is perhaps not to be wondered
at that teachers are scarce when it is
considered that ffty-6ve per cent of
the applicants for teachers certif-
Gates failed to pass at the recent exam
tnations. The report shows that 2,8l8
applicants failed out of 5,799. Only
268 applicants for complete frst-grade
certificates were successful, out of
1,190; 231 were granted conditional
first-grade certificates, and 68l failed
entirely. Of 1900 applicants for Sec
ond-grade certificates, $50 passed and
697 were granted conditional certiti-
Gates. OF 1854 applicants for limited
certificates, 442 were successful. The
total number of papers read is %, ia,
of which 5,868 are first-grade papers
and 23,246 are second-grade papers.
Only twenty-one per cent of the appli-
cants receive complete first and Sec
ondgrade certifcates.-Preston Times.

The st. Paul Dispatch in advocating
the Fowler currency bill, makes the
following remarkable statement:
One might reasonably think that
after the long schooling the repub-
lican party has had, the bitter expert
ences it has undergone; tho disasters
to business It has oceasioned, it
might, backed by the emphatic ap-
proval by the voters of it's resistance
to go farther into the morass, now
move towards higher and more solid
ground than was the paltry act OF
1900.
Those who have been in the habit OF
regarding the republican party as in
fallible will be severely shocked by
hearing from a republican paper that
their party has caused business dis
asters at any time. Others, who know
that the republican party has shaped
financial legislation for forty-two
years, will recognize the truth of the
assertion, thoug h they may be startled
to hear itfrom such source.

TO BUILD PALACE ON WHEELS,
New Company viii Establish Mag
indecent Hotel Service Between
New York and San Francisco.

The Harris Palatial Car company has
been organized under the laws of the
state of New Jersey with a capital of
100000 for the purpose Of operating
a train Of five rolling palaces between
New York and San Francisco, with so
many improvements and conveniences
that Fifth Avenue hotel patron will
not know he is out of New York II he
doesn't lok out Of the windows.
This five-car train the company pur-
poses to build will be known as the
Waldorf-Astoria de luxe train. It's pa
irons will be kept exclusive by the, fact
that the passengers will be booked from
one of the best hotels in each city
through which it passes. The trai1f will
have everything from palm gardens to
a laundry, and nothing patron OF a
swell hotel can get by pushing but
ton will be lacking.
To make it unique arrangements have
been made with the railroad lines over
which the train is to pass to have it
complete its trip across the continent
and back in ten days so the train will
leave with it's passengers every tenth
day.
The idea is the outgrowth of the de-
funct Harris Palatial Car company In
Boston, which went under in an ava
lanche of litigation over patents and
ownership of stock in 1889.
IF we find the scheme takes" said
Mr.. Harris, 1--WE will put on additional

InItlattvo and Referendum.

"There is no country, no nation, on

to the number of inhabitants"
This testimony is from Hon. L. N.
Peck, formerly our minister to Swift.
zerland.
Switzerland is very prosperous.
That is because the people are intelli-
gent, as Mr.. Peck says. But
There is another reason:
The government of Switzerland is
pre-eminently peoples government.
1t is, and has been for quarter of
century, governed on the principle of
the initiative and referendum.
The government of Switzerland is,
perhaps more than any other, a''gov.
eminent Of the people, by the people
and for the people,"
The result? -.
Prosperity, contentment, very little
emigration. People from everywhere
in Europe, pleased with the institu-
tions, settling in the country: Instead
of loss, gain in population.
In Switzerland there is no exploiting
of natural advantages by corpora
ttons. The people run their own busi-
ness. They own or operate all public
service concerns.
Why is this principle withheld from
the American people?
Simply because they have been given
few chances to vote on it. Wherever
it has been submitted to vote of the
people they have voted for the initia-
tive and referendum. In Chicago out
of 1885, 900 votes, ITO, 900 were cast IA
vorably to the reform. In Toledo out
of 80, 600, more than, 81 900 were favor
able. In Cleveland, IN Seattle, in
Peoria, in the Oregon cities, the re-
suit was the same. The Oregon legis-
lature passed the measure, which was
only defeated in the courts. The state
of New York applies the principle
locally.
Oh, yes, the initiative and referen-
dunn is coming in this country-and
not so slowly.-St. Paul Daily News.
