A SAFE DIET RULE.
Eat the Smallest Amount of Food
That Will Preserve Health.

Eat the Smallest Amount of Food
That Will Preserve Health.
How shall one determine how much
food to eat? Too much mystery has
been thrown about this subject. Let
your sensations decide. 1t must be kept
in mind that the entire function Of di-
gestion and assimilation is carried on
without conscious supervision or con-
currence. It should be entirely unfelt
and unknown, excepting by the'feeling
of bien etre which accompanies and
follows its normal accomplishment.
Safety is bad 1t implies a sensation
Of fullness in the region Of the stom-
ach, and that means that too much
food has been taken. The exact cor
respondence in a healthy animal be-
tween the appetite and the amount of
food required is extraordinary. AS
rule, the meal, unless eaten very slow
", should cease before the appetite Is
entirely satisfied, because little time
d required for the outlying organs and
tissues to feel the effects of the food
that has been ingested. If too little has
1t up at the next meal, and the appe-
tite will be only the better and the food
more grateful.
No one was ever sorry for having
voluntarily eaten too little, while mil
Mons every day repent having eaten too
much. 1t Has been said that the great
lesson homeopathy taught the world
was this-that whereas physicians had
been in the habit Of giving the patient
the largest dose he could stand, they
have been led to see that their purpose
was better subserved by giving him
the smallest dose that would produce
the desired effect. And so it is with
food. Instead Of eating, as most peo-
pie unfortunately do, as much as they
can, they should eat the smallest
amount that will keep them in good
health Roger S. Tracy in Century.

Fooled Them to Save Them.

Rochester, N. Y, Feb. 24.-Fire
which broke out about last evening
in the observation-disclosures furniture fac
tory, on South Water street, led the
manager Of the Cook opera house, the
stage entrance of which was in close
proximity, to dismiss the audience. He
announced that 1t was necessary to
suspend the performance, as the light
ing apparatus was out Of order. The
audience did not know the location of
the fire till they got out.

Korea Will Not Exhibit,

st. Louis, Feb. 2S.-Korea has with
drawn from participation in the Louis
lana Purchase exposition and has Off
cially notified the management of the
exposition to that effect. Official no
LITIGATION was received on Feb. II, but
was not made public until last night.
Director Of Exhibits Skiff stated that
he was not acquainted with the rea-
sons for Korea's withdrawal, but it is
assumed that the action of Russia and
Japan in making Korea the theater of
land operations in the present war is
largely responsible for Korea's de-
cision to abandon the exhibit.

THE LIGHT BRIGADE.
A Russian View of the Ride Into the
jaws of Death.


That the charge of the Light brigade
seemed to onlookers piece of magniil-
cent folly is evident from all reminls-
cences OF that day. First came the at
tack of the heavy brigade upon 5000
Russian cavalry. Then later in the day
the attempt to recapture seven guns
taken from the Turks by the Russians
in their first advance upon the re-
doubts led to the charge Of the Light
brigade.
"When we saw the English coming
at u.s." says Russian soldier. there
was but one thought What fools! we
said. We never dreamed they would
charge.
Ivan Ivanovitch, Russian survivor
of the day, says in his "Recollections:"
"We were so sorry for them. They
were fine soldiers and had such fine
horses. But the charge-it was the
maddest thing ever done We could
not understand it, 1 had been in the
charge of the heavy brigade in the
morning and was wounded. We had
all unsaddled and were tired. Sudden
ly there was cry, The English are
coming!
"Our colonel was angry and ordered
the men to give no quarter.
II was lying down, with my wound
bandaged, when / saw them coming.
We thought they were drunk from the
way they held their lances. Instead Of
carrying them under their armpits they
waved them in the air. OF course they
were easier to guard against like that.
"Those men were mad and never
seemed to think Of the tremendous
numbers against them nor of the fear
full slaughter that had taken place in
their ranks during that desperate ride.
Then they neared us and dashed in
among us, shouting, cheering and ours
ing. 1 never saw anything like it.
They were irresistible, and our men
were quite demoralized."

A singular Creature.

One of the most singular looking crea-
lures that ever walked the earth or
SWAN the waters under the earth" is
the world famous man faced crab Of
Japan. Its body is hardly an inch in
length, yet the head Is fitted with a
face which is the exact counterpart Of
a Chinese cooly-a veritable missing
link, with eyes, nose and mouth all
clearly defined. This curious and I'M
canny creature, besides the great like
ness it bears to human being in the
face, is provided with two legs, which
seem to grow from the top Of its head
and hang down over the side Of its
face

Prussia was said to have insulted at

are worth recalling. "Alas," she said,
now there is no one left who will dare

The country is Indebted to the repub-
lican party for the discovery of new
moral code as related to the offense of
bribery. y 1t is now held, we un-
derstand, that all the republican members
elect of the coming legislature may, if
they please, dispose of their services for
a consideration; and If this is done be-
fore the legislature assemblies and they
take their seats, they will be held guilt
less Of bribery-St. Paul Globe.
Will the Globe kindly inform an anxious
public as to the politics of County Attor-
ney Kane Of Ramsey county, who has
made the ruling referred to? The impress
sion prevails that he is democrat. How
ever, that proves nothing, except that the
bribery issue is not partizan affair. II
there is no law to punish an act of bri.
berry before member takes his oath Of
office, then our laws are singularly de-
fective. Whether the statute covers the
point explicitly or not, bribery is bribery
whether it is committed before or afte1

however, to call for discussion in his
report he fully. believes, and he gives
it attention because it seems to him that
not only the physical health of the chill
dren, but their intellectual training and
advancement are directly affected.
Another phase of this matter to which
he calls attention, but which may not
receive as much consideration, altho it
is very important, is the financial bur-
den which these too numerous social
requirements impose, the inability of
some parents to meet them and the un-
fortunate social distinctions which are
thus defined. This DR.. Jordan deplores
and right-minded people generally will
sympathizo with him. The common
schools are supposed to discourage finan-
cial and social distinctions during school
life, and one argument in favor of them
is the democratic spirit which they are
supposed to inculcate. When other in
tluences are at work to destroy that
spirit, the essential character of the sys-
tenn is lost and one Of the most ,impor-
tant purposes Of the public school sys-
tenn is defeated. Manifestly what the
young people in the higher grades of the
public schools are in need of just now
is little more Of "The Simple Life. -

TRIED TO AVOID DEATH
EVIDENCE THAT Girl. WHO WAS
AsPHYxIATED ATTEMPTED TO
SHUT OUT GAS tf@.a:s!1aE IL

Caroline Ryland, domestic in the
employ Of DIR. H. A. Knight, 1926 Girard
avenue S, was found dead in her bed
yesterday forenoon and an examination
showed that death was caused by as
phyxiation by gas.
. Miss Ryland did not arise at the usual
hour yesterday and when Mrs. knight
knocked at her door there was no re-
sponse. She then went into the room,
which was strong with the odor of gas.
She found the girl dead, with the bed
clothing drawn tightly over her face,
as tho she had attempted to avoid the
gas.
Deputy Coroner Irvine was immedi-
|ately summoned and found that the
small gas heater in the room was partly
turned and, altho it made but a small
leak, the young woman had inhaled the
gas for several hours, weakening her
heart.
Miss Ryland came from Norway but
short time ago and had been in the
employ Of DR.. Knight for about three
months. She came to Minneapolis from
De Smet, S. D., where she has relatives.
The body will be taken there for burial.

nearly four thousand? more than in the

& Now, II there are any hindrances in
the way of our city fathers on account Of
lack of power conferred in the charter.
or on account of the far more potent
lack of power conferred on them by. the
influences to which they are sometimes
supposed to owe their seats in the cOun-
Gil, why not appeal to the legisla ture for
some relief from this disgraceful and
bloody situation? Why not ask for a
law that shall make any grade crossing,
in any city of $4,000 or more, illegal
within radius, say, Of four miles from
the postoffice? And, sif any city fails
| to enforce this act, let the city be liable
to the sufferer for twice the damages
that might be collected from railroad
company. Some wiser head than mine
can, work out the details. But, as ou1
city seems to be helpless to protect the
lives of its citizens from these daily
dangers, let the authority come from the
STATE. and let the duty of its enforcement
be laid upon the governor. Our railroad
| officials are supposed to be law-abiding
men, and they would comply with the
law, They are now liable for damages
in every case, and it would be a positive
relief to them to afford better protec-
ton to the lives Of our citizens, and tc
| their own treasures. ...
OF course, the man who is always or
hand with the difficulties in the way o1
fany reform will Immediately rise to his
feet and begin to point them out by the
score; but other cities larger than we are
have abolished grade crossings, and i
there is any town in this country tha
can outstrip Minneapolis when it once
wakes up I would like to see it.

Fight, Is Stabbed Policeman Shoots
to Keep Prisoner.

The police Of st. Paul had a busy
Christmas Day.
Percy Young of that city was shot
and instantly killed last night by Har-
~ Cannon in a lodginghouse at 24S
East Seventh street. The shooting, ac-
cording to Cannon, was accidental, al
tho there had been trouble between the
two. -.E
Cannon, William Countryman and
young man named Dack were in the
room when Young entered. They were
all sober, SO they say, and Young be-
gan to abuse Cannon Cannon became
angry and, picking up revolver,
which 'l;ltI ! ne e says he thought was empty,
en- him: The revolver was discharged.
He replaced the revolver in the drawer
and few minutes later was arrested
by the police, who had been notified
by other roomers.
Cannon sticks to his statement that
he thought the gun was not loaded,
him and Young was trivial.
Coroner Miller and the police are in
vestigating.
Stabbed in Fight.
While attempting to protect his
son, 695 jenkins street, St. Paul, was
| stabbed by AL Miller yesterday morn
ing and will probably die as a result Of
his injuries.
The affair occurred at Case and Ar
cade streets. John and Fred johnson
and Miller had been drinking in sa-
loon near by, and when they went out
a quarrel ensued between Fred and
Miller. Words were followed by blows
and John interfered on behalf of his
brother. Miller drew a knife and
stabbed the elder johnson until he fell
down exhausted. The police stopped
further trouble and the wounded man
was taken to the city hospital.
Miller escaped when he saw the Of
fcers coming, and after getting few
of his belongings from his room, went
away and the police have been unable
to find him.
Policeman Forced to Shoot.

station Saturday night. Hoefer caught
w. McDonnough, brother Of the
wounded man, in the act of breaking a
window i'll Henry O'Connor's s saloon
and arrested him.
McDonnough appeared and explained
that the prisoner had been sent after
can Of beer and that he had broken
the window in an effort to attract the
attention of the proprietor, who had
closed. the saloon.
Hoefer refused to release the pris
oner, and when 'McDonnough attempted
to take him by force, fred. at him, in.
