DO MEN EAT TOO MUCH,
Scientists Subjects Healthy or
 Half the Avera re Man,a Food

The chief paper read before the Na- tfonal Academy of Sciences in Washing ton the other day was a descriptiin of a series of experiments recently conducted by the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale to determine if the average human being is not eating too much.
 Prof. Russell H. Chittenden, the direc- tor of the school, who conducted the ex- periments, and who read the paper made the statement that the average healthy man eats from two, to three times as much as he needs to keep him in per- feet physical and mental health and vigor.
 Prof Crittenden said three classes ot men were experimented on, several pro- fessors at the school, including Prof. Crittenden himself. several students, and squad of United States soldiers. There was gradual reduction of meat and other proteid foods. with little it any increase in starch and other foods In nearly all the tests. No fixed regimen was required in any case, the endeavoI being to satisfy the appetite of each sli5- Ject. In only one case was meat entire ly eliminated from the diet
 At the end of the experiments. whici lasted from six months until nearly s year and were concluded only few days ago, the entire lot of men who had beer Prof. Crittenden's subjects were in thu best of health. Their weight in some cases was almost exactly the same al when the experiments were begun and 1T some slightly lower. Their bodily viCo, was greater and their strength wa. much greater, partially owing to tieil regular physical exercises during the ex Crittenden believes. to the smaller amount of food eaten.
 The daily consumption of food at tho close Of the experiments was much less than the recognized standard and from s man eats.

SOME DIFFICULTIES.
Tn the Way of Carrying Out the Fri
 mary Election Law,

mary Election Law.
 Troy, Ala, April P. 1904. Editor The Advertiser:
 I want to call your attention to what looks to me like an error in the instruc- tions to the voters in the primary. S furnished by the committee for the last primary.
 Section IS of the primary election law provides that the certificates of election or returns signed by the inspectors shall be delivered to the chairman of the Ex- ecutive Committee. lc does not require that same be sealed, but on the contrary requires one copy to be posted. Section 21 makes it a criminal offense for any person to break an envelope containing the poll list, Section p provides that be- fore beginning to count the ballots the two poll lists shall be placed in separate envelopes and sealed, and then the count shall be made and returns prepared. Said section also provides that if there Is no contest filed, these envelopes con- taining the poll lists shall be destroyed without opening them.
 Now the instructions provided for the two envelopes, but also provided for the certificates of the inspectors to be placed In one of them, which is an impossibil- ity If the law is complied with, for the envelopes are sealed before the returns are ascertained, And if the law is not complied with and these returns are placed in one of the envelopes with a poll list, 1t becomes criminal offense to break the envelope containing the poll list to get the returns and canvass the result. Am I right in this respect? If so, attention should now be called to the matter. so that in future 1t will be un- derstood. The Executive Committee in this County was embarrassed about the matter. 1 will not sey what they did. But In complying with the instructions of the State Executive Committee did not all the County Committees, and In. spectors of election. violate the law?
 Of course the purpose of the law Is to Insure private voting, if the poll lists are kept out of the sealed envelopes un- til the count is finished the poll lists may be compared with the numbers on the ballots. So, if the envelopes contain- ing the poll list and certificate of re- turns are broken to get the certificate of returns. the poll list is then subject to comparison with the ballots. I under stand that the provisions of the law were intended to prevent the very thing that was done in perhaps every County in the State in the last primary.
 Yours truly,
 A. B. Foster

By the easy process of elimination MT. Bryan is moving along in the way of get ting rid of undesirable Presidential candi- dates. It is something like the old time custom of the girls picking a flower to pieces to ascertain if their sweethearts love them. MT. Bryan selects a man, dissects him thoroughly and drops him. It is an easy way of getting them out of the way. We are curious to know what he will do when he gets down to w. in his alphabet. That will bring him to the two Williams and how will he eliminate one of them? That will be a puzzle, even to him.

A Strange Coincidence.


 A strange coincidence was the killing Of pr. Robson on Tuesday night at Wal lace on the Louisville and Nashville rail- road within fifteen feet of where on the night of March l. last Dr. s. c.

His injuries resulting in his death. -' Dr. Robson succeeded pr. Dillburn as the camp physician. Tuesday he went to Foshee to see patient and returned to Wallace on a freight train. In alightine from the train he fell beneath the whaels ana one or his legs was cut off, the other mangled. He died Wednesday and bis body was brought Wednesday night flo Thurman in Wilcox County where he formerly lived. ~

THE TRAINED NURSE
HER STRENGTH SOMETIMES
 TAXED BEYOND LIMIT.
A Graduate of the New York Train. n. ing School Tells How She Recu-
 perates After Heavv Strain

III.
 The trained nurse plays a very im- portant part In the modern treatment of disease greatly to the relief of both doe tor and patient. Because she is well d,e clpllned she is able to perform dif1cult | service and to endure fatigue in a man. ner that excites admiration and wonder.
 She is human. however and in trying cases the demands upon her strength prove excessive. She fulhlls her duty nobly to the last moment. but, as soon as she is relieved she is compelled to build up her own weakened powers. She na- turally wants the remedy that will re- store her efficiency in the shortest possible time. and as her knowledge of medicines is wide, her choice is likely to be a sensi- ble one and remarkably good guide for everybody else.
 Every word of the following careful statement of Mrs. Jessie M. F. Cummings, of 61 Whitmore Street, Hartford, Conn, 8 graduate of the New York Training School for Nurses, Is entitled to the weight which attaches to the utterance of an expert:
 Several months ago." said Mrs. Cum mings, T was completely worn out as the result of a very serious and trying case I had attended. I needed a tonic, and so I got six boxes of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and took them faithfully I obtained the good from them I expected to. and I can say with truth and pleasure that the remedy is a splen- did tonic for woman's nerves"
 The soundness of Mrs. Cummingss opin- ion is confirmed by the experience of numerous sufferers from nervous disor- ders of every kind and degree. from sim pie debility to partial paralysis. Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills have cured obstinate cases of neuralgia, prostration, sciatica and St. Vitus' dance; they have even conquered the most frlghtful of nervous | diseases. locomotor ataxia, after the pd- tient had been reduced to a state of help Iessness and had been told to prepare for death.
 They check waste and begin to minis ter a fresh and lasting vitality at once. They are sold by all druggists throughout the world A booklet giving information of great value in the treatment of ner- vous diseases will be sent free on appli- cation to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., l Schenectady.

PUNCHES FROM THE ENEMY

A eOOuI HdEu punCh rom pOltlcal enemy isn't bad thing for us Democrats occasionally. It may hurt our pride, but possibly will result fin causing us to do better. A recent example of 1t is found in The Hartford coutant, which thus holds the mirror up to the Democ- racy
 ago, having all the men who had dlstin- guished themselves in it's service to pick and chose from, it made William J. Bry- an its national leader; it named him for the highest office; 1t asked the voters to make him President of the United States. In 1S96 and again in 1900. hundreds on hundreds of editors and politicians who are now very weary of him and snappish when they speak of him were trying their hardest to persuade the voters that he was a much greater and better man than William Mckinley; that he was heaven sent Democratic statesman, second Jef- ferson.
 About the best reply we could make to that would be contained in the one word, 'Peccavi." We cannot deny the truth of the indictment, nor deny that 1t is a deserved epitome of our partys political history during the past eight years. Of course We had men, both North and South, who were better fitted and better qualified for the Presidency than he, and who were more deserving of the nomina- tion, but the party allowed him to throw 1t down and take the nomination bv force of brazen and almost unlimited cheek and insistence. and We have heen reaping humiliating crop ever since.
 What The Courant says about the editors, though intended as a censure, Is really more or less creditable to them now. It is to their credit that they have fully recovered from their tempora- ry hallucination and for that no one is entitled to more credit than Mir. Bryan himself. If he had been content to accept the verdict of the American people and retire gracefully as a defeated man should he would now have infinitely more friends than he has. This he refused to do, and those who were strongest in their regard and SUD- port are now sick of him and would gladly be rid of him and his blatant in sistence but he is still unable to see it. Apparently he is unable to see, what almost everybody else does. that he is back number and can no longer dictate

CANAL pREp1cr1oNs LONG Aeo.


 The fact that a canal across the Isthmus is now practically assured makes any forgotten allusions to 1t matters of interest It will doubtless be a matter of surprise to the reader to know of the predictions made on the subject nearly fourscore years ago by the great writer, Goethe. A German newspaper reviews the language used by the poet as early as 1927. in discussing Humboldt's travels. He said:
 of this kind it could be accomplished that vessels with all sorts of cargoes and of every size could go through such a canal from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, quite incalculable results would follow for the entire civilized and un- civilized human race. I, however, would be surprised if the United States would miss the chance to get such work that this young State. with its decided tendency toward the West, will in thirty to forty years have also taken possession, and will have populated the large areas of land on the other side of the Rocky Mountains. It is furthermore to be fore seen that in this entire coast Of the Pacific Ocean. where nature has already created the most roomy and safest har- bors in course of time very important commercial towns will carry on a large traffic between China and the East Indies with the United States. In such a case it would not only be desirable, but almost necessary, that merchant as well as war vessls should be able to have quicker con nection with the' western and eastern coasts of America. l therefore repeat that it is entirely indispensable for the United States to make a passage from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, and I that she will plish it.
 When we consider the date of this pre- diction. and the fact that his knowl- edge of the region mentioned was derived entirely from reading, we must admit that it is somewhat remarkable The United States at that time were compara- lively an insignificant power, but Goethe looked ahead with greater accuracy and a hotter knowledge of the American character and ambition than most Euro would come when the "cross cut would be a world necessity, and also foresaw that American energy and resources would do the work.
 How our government has spread itself across the continent, as he foresaw and predicted. and how that would bring on the desirability, if not the absolute neces- sity, of a canal across the Isthmus is plain enough now. but in all probability the prophecies of Goethe were laughed at by most of his contemporaries. For all that, he was a true prophet.
