Discussing the practice of go,

Review of Reviews thinks there should
be limits placed upon the freedom with
which adventurous travellers or traders
may call upon their home governments
to relieve their misfortunes or under
write their bad investments. "It

own risks-provide his own insurance,
SO to speak" The worst feature of
the practice is that, as a rule, the
claimant government demands a
stated sum, without giving the other
party voice in fixing the amount,
and then makes refusal to pay cause
of war. Why should a nation be
plunged in war 10 enforce payment of

When it became known that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would appoint Robert
b. Armstrong, Secretary Shaw's pri-
vate secretary, to the post of assistant
secretary OF the treasury, to succeed
Gen. Spaulding, there was an epidemic
of heart failure among the supporters
of older candidates for this important
position. Armstrong was inexperi-
enced In the character of the duties
which would devolve upon him, they
declared. One of these men went to
Secretary Shaw, whose observances of
Mr.. Armstrong; work as private
secretary had thoroughly convinced
him that there was material for a
competent assistant secretary of the
treasury.
Armstrong is all right, Mr.. Secre-
tary. said he, "but is he not inst a

is, . replied Secretary Shaw, looking
quizzically at bis visitor. ''But just

Lord, but those Lafayette politi-
clans are lucky chaps. There was Dan
Storms for instance. He had no op-
position for the nomination for secre-
tary Of state. and his opposition at the
polls didn't amount to much. Then
there was Senator Will Wood, who
openly and detiantly snapped his fin
gers 10 the face Of organized labor two
years ago, and was marked for a po-
litical keel-hauling by the union men
of Tippecanoe county. Well, he
walked right away with both the nom-
ination and election and will do bust
ness a. the old stand this winter.
Next came Henry w. Marshall, speak
er that is to be. Three other gentle
men, the aged and experienced War

block Mr.. Marshall's speakership

man concluded to do some hunting in
stead Of being hunted. and now the
honor is all his own. He scared his
competitors SO badly they took to the
timber and gave him clear pathway.

The Starvation Fad.

The process of starving ones syS-
tenn abstaining from the usual amount
of food in order to reduce flesh, has
been shown to be most injurious to
health whenever it has been carried to
the extreme. Naturally the person of
large avordupoiS needs more food than
one Of smaller frame, ane the demand
must be supplied or physical weakness
will necessarily follow.
This state Of things was clearly ex-
emplified in the latter days of az
Speaker Thomas B. Reed. Mr.. Reed
was man of massive size and had
voraciOus appetite. With his increas-
ing years he increased in bodily weight
until he tipped the beam at 275
pounds. He enjoyed comparatively
good health, but like many another
fat person, became alarmed over his
increasing flesh and sought to reduce
it by the dieting plan. Mr.. Reed told
a friend few days before his death
that by going hungry for many days,
by eating only half a meal at break
fast, dinner and supper, he had reduc-
ed his weight about 40 pounds, yet he
experienced the pangs of hunger all
the time. He got up from every meal
with his appetite only half satisfied,
went to bed hungry and got up hun
CRY in the morning.
Now all this starving process only
tended to weaken the vital organs Of
an unusually strong and sound man
and it was the statement OF Mr.. Reeds
physicians that his sudden collapse
and death was due mainly to his rigid
dieting which affected the heart circu-
lation and the action of other impor-
tant organs of the body.-South Bend

In recent interview the present
chairman of the prohibition state COM
mittee is reported as saying that the
organization is misunderstood, many
people regarding 1t as a temperance
society like the Good Templars and
like associations. 1t is fair to assume
that such a misconception cannot be
very general, since the prohibition
leaders have taken no part in efforts
to extend abstinence by organization,
They are not Unidentified with any
moral work to create a temperance
sentiment, AS an association The
prohibition leaders have not given en-
couragement to such workers as
Francis Murphy. They simply look
to the efficacy of the law without any
effort to build up sentiment against
intemperance which will sustain such
laws as they advocate. In recent years
the leaders have resorted to abuse of
those who do not agree with them.

that this was Gods method in nature,

Nature holds its resting time. the

ton was history of leaps and bounds
rather than slow development. The
Christian church was born Of revival.
The Methodist church which stands
today as one of the greatest evangelist

suit of its aggressiveness in revival
effort. Two thirds of all converted
people were brought into the church

The prosecuting attorneys are join
