An Anpeal.

The extreme cold weather of the last
few DAYS have brought so many needy
ones to the attention OF the Cooperative
Charities Association that they find their
funds about exhaused, and as so many OF

TO our call in December, we are com
PEELED in behalf of the suffering to make

Virginia Burke, president, or Mrs. Jas.

No Elactric Lights.

Considerable adverse comment is made
mon the fact that for several nights no
electric lights have been burning in this
city. This has occurred at an lnotPp.or-
tune time, the streets and sidewalks be-
ing glazed with ice. Fortunately the
moon has in measure guided belated
pedestrians and those compelled to be
out after dark. There is some derange'
ment of the electric light works which
has produced these disagreeable condi'
tiOns.

The SCIENCE OF EATING.


T HE question Of how much to eat
has agitated all people at all times
since the world began. The mother of
US all made the mistake Of eating too
much fruit. Ever since her day there
has been more or less trouble of the
same character. But these DAYS scient-
lists are paying particular attention to
the subject. They say we eat very
much more than is good for US, that we
overload and overwork our stomacks
and wear OUT our digestive organs long
before their time. Then there are advo-
Gates of all sorts Of foods.
We are told that if we would live
long we must eat no meats, We must
eat only meat, we must eat only wheat
preparations, we must by no means eat
wheat preparations. In the multitude
OF counsel no safety is afforded. Every
one of US must eat for himself. But
nobody viii seriously dispute the as
sertion that the average human over
eats every day of his~fife. Advocates
of less food declare that If is possible
to subsist on one-half or one-third Of
the food we now eat. The Courier
Journal relates tie results of some re
cent experiments along this line. II
says:
AS the result of recent experiments
made with half the usual amount Of
food, = or less, it is claimed that
efficiency was Increased from 100 to 200
per cent A champion wrestler began
with 4 500 units of afHcfercx and in
creased them to 5000 IN general. the
smaller consumption Of food was at
tended with keenness, elasticity.
mental alertness and a surplusage Of
energy always at command, a capacity
to indulge in mental or physical exer-
else without fear of fatigue And,
what VIII attract more attention from
many, i is stated that there was no
diminution of gastronomie pleasure,
but, on the contrary, an enjoyment Of
eating never before experienced.
The main point In this pleasing pro-
gramme Is to eat less. but it is also
essential to eat with deIiberation and
10 see that mastication is thorough. No
abstinence from favorite dishes is re-
quired, but rather the reverse, as the
rule is TO eat what the appetite Graves.
This done, with complete mastication
and reduction Of one-half or two
thirds in the quantity consumed, the
result is happiness Tie general adop-
ton of these ideas would have a seriz
Gus effect on the prices Of provisions,
but the danger is not yet imminent

its various manufacturing plants
These views are the first ever taken for
the biograph in interiors and were
made with the aid Of the new Cooper
Hewitt mercury light. which the West
inghoUse company controls. There are
twenty-six different corporations en-
hraced in the Westinghouse company,
handling not only air brakes and rail-
road devices. bur several new forms Of
.incandeseent and arc lamps. This ex-
hibit is designed to interest merchants
and business men in new cheaper meth
DDS Of electric lighting, and has proved
an excellent advertisement.
A number OF other exhibitors use the
moving picture plan very successfully.
and the makers of machinery have
found that an engine in motion is
worth a dozen lying stin so far as at
tracing crowds is concerned. There Is
an idea in this lesson that might be
adopted here with success. In the
tourist season crowds would attend a
free entertainment of a pictorial kind
showing Utah's scenery. mines, farms
and other resources where a dozen
would read literature or Investigate for
themselves. The tabernacle organ re-
citals have been worth more as an adj
vertisement TO salt Lake than thou
sands OF dollars spent IN reading mat
ter, because they entertain the visitor:
and where entertainment is combined
with instruction. the ideal advertise
ment is at hand.

CHOOSING A SEAT.
Good Deal of a Lottery, Says the
Careful Man.


Picking out seat in carr said
the careful man, is good deal of :
lottery 1 always look along a car as
1 go IN, and l never sit down next q
drunken man, nor next a man who is
asleep, for either Of these may t0Dple

spread wide open, for he may spread
il Just the same III front Of YOU after

a man WHO is sitting slowed around
and with MS legs crossed. for / know
that the minute ! have taken my seat
he is likely TO throw his leg over again
this time in front of me. and to hem
me in uncOmfortably.
And then / never take a seat next
TO a fat man, for he not only occupies
his own seat, but makes the next one
narrower. I would think well of a seat
next 10 thin lady. but now that the
arms between the seats have been re-
moved. she IS likely TO move the other
way when some other lady comes in.
and 50 make room between you and her.
with the result that you get crowded
worse than ever.
I never choose seat next TO two
turned toward each other and so slowed
around more or less over the adjacent
seats; and, engrossed as they are in
themselves and their conversation. they
never move and give you All the space
you are entitled TO when YOU sit down.
I did once think that a small bow
sitting squarely in the center Of the
seat was the best passenger TO sit
next 10, he gave you as much added
space on the side Of your seat toward
him. anyway. But I long aso iiscov-
cred the fallacy of that idea, and now
l never sit next a small boy il I can

WAY EAIRRAnKs STICKS.

4 HAFdES ". FAIRBANKS has
y been scored for not resigning his
seat in the senate.s Reminders have
gone TO him from all parts Of the coun-
try that he IS violating political deceu-
cy by holding to the senatorship while
running for vice president. 1t has been
limited that II he possessed Judge Par
keT's nice sense Of honor he would have
been cut Of the senate long ago
In searching for the motive that inn
pels this Republican leader to hold TO
the one high Office while running for an
other. some have concluded that fear
of defeat must account for It; that the
senator intends TO have his old office
70 fail back upon in case his party goes
10 defeat in November. others have
animated that in spite of his great
wealth the salary Of the Office is too
seductive to permit the senator to sur
render il,
It now develops that all these eriti-
oisms are unfair and that Senator
Fairbanks is not responsible for the
Unpleasant position in which he finds
himself. he is holding 10 the senator
ship because he has been ordered to
DO so by the Republican committee.
Whether the order comes direct from
President Roosevelt does not appear on
the surface. On. this point people VIII
be compelled to draw their own con-
illusions. The reason for this course
is simple: Indiana is close state this
year. Every vote wiz be needed.
BY dangling Senator Fairbanks toEa
before the eyes Of hungry Republicans
in the state 1t is believed that work
can be secured that could not be Sc
cured in any other way. At least a
dozen ambitious would-be senators will
canvass the state with the intention
of demonstrating that Indiana would
be lost to the Democrats If not for their
efforts. After the election each Will
claim the reward. If there is a reward

IS elected vice president Charles W.

1t viii be seen from this that the
criticisms heaped upon Senator Fair
banks are unjust II he consulted only
his high sense of honor he would not
remain in this compromising position
for inmate, but would resign as
Judge Parker did. No doubt he is
CALLED by the order from his party to
play peanut politics while posing as
statesman. Be that as it may, his crit
les should take into consideration his
environment and be slow to reach def
mite conclusions.

AN EXPOSITION LESSON.

D R1MARILT AN EXPOSITION is
meant as al advertising emporium
ity Tor a nation. for its educational in
stituttons. its government and munich
pal systems. as well as for its mer-
chants and manufacturers. The St.
Louis exposition has shown most con-
clusively that EXHIBITS with movement
or Illustration, or both combined, at
tract thousands where the most splen-
did displays without motion are com
paratively valueless. The exposition
grounds are so large. the territory en-
braced and the number OF exhibits Of
fered 50 enormous. that the sightseer
cannot attempt TO see everything or
even a small proportion OF the aggCe-
gate Of exhibits The result has been
a concentration of interest in the more
attractive sights. offering a most in

paris0n Of the advertising lessons TO be
learned at The exposition. For Instance,

results THIN had been attained by
any other state. although its appro-
priati0n was by comparison very small
other states spent much more money

II see Nebraska's exhibit. II has a
moring picture entertainment showing
views Of Nebraska wheat fields. dairy
herds. sugar beet industry and other
sources of wealth. Having only SIS, 900
the state could not erect a building of
is own, bat the appropriation fell into
the hands OF commission that not
only serves without salary but has the
advertising instinct. The moving pic
ture entertainments are visited by fully
5o00 persons daily. and are the means
of interesting desirable shome-seekers
in the states free lands and industries.
In a little theatre seating something
over 100 people a different set Of views
Is shown every half-hOur. When spec
tators come out OF this theatre the adj
vertising booklets OF Nebraska have
some meaning for them. Yet the whole

had least to spend IS getting the best
advertising results.
Moving pictures are a certain attrac-
ton wherever they may be shown

tertainment OF this kind is that given
