5000 by the Reporter.

The laUe George w. Childs, the pro-
prietor of the Philadelphia Ledger, was
a man who supported his subordinates
when they were in the right. During
a bitter congressional campaign one
of the candidates called upon Mr..
Childs and said:
MIR. Childs, | have always consid-
cred you my friend. Am | right in
that assumDtion:'
Yes" said Mr.. Childs in his quiet
way, wondering what was coming.
We'll. | come to complain about your
political reporter. His reports of my
campaign have done me much dam.
age"
81 understand said Mr.. Childs,
that our reporter has been printing
your own speeches. Is that trueT'
yes" was the hesitating reply.
''Then," said the publisher, you are
the guilty man. You are killing your
own candidacy, and the Ledger is sim
ply giving a faithful picture of the
performance. Blame yourself and not
the Ledger reporter"
And that was all the satisfaction this
influential politician could get from
the publisher.

CANAL HAS A USE
Illinois & Michigan Waterway Elk.
erts Influence in Reduc-
ing Freights.
HAS SAVED MILLIONS TO PEOPLE
Argument Made When ApproprtA'
ton Was Asked OF State
Legislature.

There are two sides TO the mainten-
ance of the Illinois & Michigan canal
that the Illinois supreme court has
practically ruled out of existence by
holding that the state has no right
to expend money in keeping it up.
While il may have furnished an eX-
cuse for a number of good offices with
nothing to do, and while the state
may be technically wrong in support
ing it there is little doubt, neverthe-
less, that the people of the western
and central part of Illinois and of the
states across the Mississippi river that
send their produce to Chicago have
been directly benefited by it, through
the effect it has had, even though use
less as highway, upon railway
freight rates.
When the proposed appropriation
for the canal was before the legisla-
ture last winter the Illinois Grain
Dealers association sent representa-
tives to Springfield to urge the APP
preparation In presenting the case
to the appropriation committee the
grain shippers emphasized the feature
of the situation above referred to in
the following statement:
"The committe before you is COM
posed of merchants, manufacturers
and farmers from the territory trav-
ersed by the Illinois & Michigan canal.
We are here to ask you to take steps
to protect the interests of the water
way and to convince you that it has
not passed its days of usefulness. that
it is not abandoned by the shipping
trade, that it is not pestilential
stream of disease breading filth; but
that it is of vast Importance not only
to our immediate section but to the
whole state.
I'VE come before you. therefore,
to urge your favorable action on the
bill, appropriating moneys for the
maintenance of the Illinois & Michigan
canal We. as business men. dislike
the necessity of asking for this APP
preparation. but we do not apologize
for our presence here for we are
aware that good and sufficient reasons
can be advanced in support of the
appropriation asked.

WHY Cut Apple. Turn Color.

The rapid change of color in cut APP
pies is due to chemical action on the
exposed surface of the apple after the
free admission of oxygen and not, as
was once supposed. to the presence of
micro-organisms. for if apple pulp is
sterilized and filtered the same thing
happens. The juice of an apple not
only contains water, sugar and various
acids. but a starch which ferments
when exposed to the air.
Lindet holds that the fermentinS
matter and the acids also are in diff
ferent cells in the uncut apple, but are
brought into contact as soon as it is
cut This is. however. not 10 the point.
as the fermenting matter can only at
tack the aromatic body in the presence
of oxygen. So long as the skin of the
apple is whole no change can take
place. but Immediately this is wound
ed the oxygen begins its work, carbon
dioxide is evolved, and the reddish
brown appearance sets in, especially
on unripe fruit

When to Eat II.
| VI you eat hearty dinner at the close
Of each days work, a dinner made ul
! of food elements which have a chance
( to build up the body during the nights
/ rest, then you should eat 4 light break.
I fast, so that your new energy may &c
/ into your mornings work instead OF
being all used up in digesting your
| morning meal.
But if you have not eaten the proper
| quantity and kind of food for dinner
you must eat hearty breakfast, or
else feel faint from undernourishment.
You should not eat meat for break
fast, for meat should only be eaten at
time when complete rest can be
taken. If you feel the need of meat
eat eggs instead or nuts
You should eat a well cooked cereal,
but know this: The cereals which can
be cooked in three minutes are hardly
worth the eating, because they have so
little nourishment in them. Oatmeal
that has been cooked several hours is
very good. Half cooked oatmeal is so
poor food that it is almost poison.
Cornmeal must also be we'll cooked, too,
If it is TO do its best work for the hui
man body-and soul.
And if you will eat bread for break
fast eat the German Zwieback, crisp
rolls or brown toast. Hot bread and
cakes clog your system and will make
you cross and uncomfortable before
noon.
Coffee could be a heaIthful drink if it
were properly made and not boiled I'M
til it is bitter with tannin. Clear cof-
fee. one cup of it, may have no i'll eff.
fects on your nerves. Coffee, with
cream. one cup or two cups, will make
you bilious.
But, whatever else you eat or drink,
eat fruit and a great deal of fruit. for
breakfast. If you want Il fruit tonic
drink the juice of an orange and half
a lemon. If you want fruit for food
eat apples or bananas. Or if these do
not agree with you eat apple sauce,
cooked prunes, cooked canned fruit.

charges from ice to &c per 100 lbs,
a low estimate. because as matter of
fact recent freight advances make the
average saving somewhat higher than

The &c saving. however, means over
