Smoke Means Wasted Fuel.

Smoke means waste. The science of smoke prevention and the science of perfect combustion are equivalent terms
 Once make a factory owner realize this and he is won over to the cause for if he has intelligence enough to manage a business he must know that perfect com bustion of fuel means no waste. Con- sider the analogy of coal oil lamp. Turn up the wick and the limp smokes. You are using too much oil-and getting

EATING TOO MICH.

Periodically or oftener some medico or other scientist comes forward with the announcement that human beings eat too much. We've no doubt that the same statements have been made and Ignored for thousands of years. When a doctor says people eat too much, we suppose he means humanity in the aggregate, and that statement may or may not be true. for if 1t were practicable to strike a general average of all humanity 1t might be found that there Isn't much gluttony after all
 Of course there are times when almost any individual will eat more than is needful, and more than is good for the health. and doubtless thcre are many who habitually eat too much. but what does tbat prove, and where Is the remedy? Because some are disposed to gluttony can any man.. or any set of men, fix metes and bounds beyond which none shall go? Advice is good, and experiment tation is all right but if people will not take the advice or pay heed to the ex- uerlments there is an end.
 Probably there has never been time since humanity departed from Eden that both men and women have not been guilty of the sin of gluttony. and we doubt If the time will ever come when all will eat just as much as is good for them, and no more. There are those who will say, with Montaigne: My arp, rctite comes to me while eatins." and the more they eat the better the appetite. The learned men may advise, and may condemn over-eating but those who have r.eEty and can enjoy it wVl go on as they have been doing. until the time comes that they can neither eat nor en- joy their food. Then they are ready to take advice and that is as soon as they will either take 1t or heed it.

We sympathize with the esteemed vir- girian- Pilot in its efforts to hold MT. Bryan down.

very many thanks for column
of pleasant things, but he
knows as surely comes the sea-

there is an uninteutional mis-

to do so, he must not expect to
be forgiven. The omissions
may have been from accident,

not. The simple fact remains
