The Janitors society, of New York,
is planning to give a theatrical enter
tainment for its sick benefit fund in
October, and for the winter other en-
tertainments are planned, with a view
to procuring money for the prosecu-
ton of the aims for which the society
exists. Janitors, it seems, have been
misunderstood. Instead of being the
surly, disobliging, unamiable class they
have been taken for, they are poorly
paid and brutality treated set, who
often receive only the rent of two or
three miserable rooms in exchange for
their services and are the victims of
the cruel landlords to an extent not
dreamed of by the public. At least,
this is what the janitors themselves
say. These reasons, and others even
more cogent, are urged for making
the licensing of janitors obligatory.
The bill now before the state legisla-
ture, which the Janitors' society would
greatly like to see passed, provides
that every person desiring to be a
janitor shall first pass an examination.
Such an examination, with the license
that would be given to the successful
candidate, would raise the standard of
janitors as a craft, they claim. 1t would
raise the janitor in measure to
semi official status, making him NOR
ally and legally responsible for what
goes on in the house under his charge.
AT the same time it would 90 far to-

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

It is a curious fact that many ali
n,ents which are. scarcely noticed by
day seem to increase with the dark
ness. An earache, which during the
day was not bad enough to Interfere
with ones enjoyment and usefulness,
will develop during the night into
positive affliction that there Is no ig-
noring. Nervousness, which may be
only a vague unrest during the hours
of light, becomes intense the moment
ones lies down in bed enveloped by
darkness and stiffness. The moment
the gas is turned. out, one begins to
toss and turn. MANY a victim of in
somnia can fall asleep If he will get up
and light the gas. Whenever such is
the case there seems to be no good
reason for perSisHng in lying in the
dark. If light csoothes or mitigateS,
have light by all means. 1t is much
better to have a. lamp burning in the
room, even If 1T Is not hygienic, than
to worry through the night in pain and
sleeplessness. Children often refuse to
sleep in the dark A Viennese doctor,
who has studied the pathological eff
fects of light and darkness, advises
that their prejudices or fears in this
respect should be regarded.

Water drinking Is one Of the simple
laws of health that is neglected because
OF Its very simplicity. The human
body, says Health Culture, is practical
ly sack of water. The body of the
average man contains over half a bar
rel Of water. This water, in the form of
twenty different fluids, is constantly
fuctuating back and forth among the
tissues, doing the work of the body, and
IT there be any deficiency of water in
the body this work will suffer. The ex-
cret1ons of the body especially can be
properly carried off only when the sup
ply of water is sufficient. Two quarts
daily OF pure water, preferably distilled,

In ordinary weather. In hot weather
this may be increased somewhat, not
only without danger, but with positive
relief. The greatly accelerated action

Salt is said to be preventive of fes-

surprised to see a native who was

powdered salt to his feet and legs. The
scratches could not be avoided, but a
pinch of salt could be depended on to
keep them from fostering, the man
said. Contrary to common opinion,
salt does not aggravate the painfulness
of open wounds. The value of salt as
an antiseptic is demonstrated by its
general use as preservative.

Gastronomic standard Needed.

We read frequently in the public
prints of claims set up by various per-
cons in divers sections Of the country
to the honor of g~astronomic champion
ship. 1t must be admitted that these
claims are frequently well founded, but
the difficulty in awarding the prize lies
inIthe fact that there is no generally
accepted standard for the measurement
of such feats.
The latest aspirant for the honor Of
being called champion eater Of the
world is a favorite son Of Alabama.
He is named Milan, and he is called
Gap" He first achieved notoriety by
eating six dozen oysters at u sitting.
Lately the young men of Alexander
City, where he lives, have been making
Wagers with him about his capacity.
Recently he ate 1913 bananas, win
ming 81 by SO doing, and declared his
intention of eating 125 next time If
some one would give him $40 for it.
All this would be more to the young
mans credit If he had not made his
~ used in contests.
And just here comes in the necessity
of a gastronomic standard. When one
man consumes bananas, another BIZ
valves, still another ice cream and d
fourth broken glass and swords, how is
a discriminating public to tell which is
the most eminent eater? At the very
outset there arise such %perplexing ques-
lions as these: How many crullers
equal a ham? If A eats a whole tur-
key and B cats eighty-two can puffs,
which vans? A man who a swallow
a busllcl of buttered popcorn often
quails before a cubic inch of suet pud-
ding.
There may be many aspirants for
~gastrOnomic distinction who perform
noble and heroic acts worthy Of hon
orable mention, but clearly there can
be but one simon pure champion. Aud
this cannot be satisfactorily settled un-
til a definite standard is adopted.
In New York and some other places
the capacity Of the human stomach is
systematically and legally measured in
beefsteaks. With the present high
prices of beef, however, the adoption Of
this standard might entail financial
hardship upon ~impecunious but worthy
and ambitious aspirants for the honor
OF being the worlds champion eater"
Perhaps we may have to worry along
for a time without a universally rec
ognized champion In this field Of hui
man endeavor.

The Partition OF Morocco.

The cable dispatches which come
from Tangier would seem to indicate
that the sultanate of Morocco is in
process OF disintegration. The power
Of Sultan Mulai Abdul-Aziz is APP
parently collapsing, and al three or
four European states have been con-
templating The annexation Of consid-
cradle sections OF that great region the
present crisis in the country tends to
bring their schemes to a point.
Spain has a small foothold on the
Moroccan coast and wants much more
Of the country. Deprived of her West
Indian and Asiatic colonies, she covets
this virgin field Of settlement and e0-
terprise which lies at her own door.
and she would logically appear to be
entitled to the field.
But France has designs on Morocco
which evidently must be taken into ac-
count should 1t come to the point Of
partition. The Algerian domain, all
French. encroaches steadily on Moroc-
can territory. The western frontier Of
Algeria is upon wheels. II moves near-
er andsnearer toward the Atlantic. Will
It reach the ocean at last, leaving to
Spain only The Mediterranean fringe
opposite Gibraltar?
Thatis q question which the settle
ment Of the present difficulty in Moroc-
co may answer. Besides, there are 9TH
er European powers eager for terri
torIal possessions outside their present
limits which are likely to take a hand
in the game. Apparently Europe has
more important business nearer honrs
than the collection of a comparatively
insignificant debt from a weak and M
potent South American state.
