The Simple Life

Man riseth up in the morning and
starteth to his Office. He lodges au-
tomobiles and street cars, starts back
just in time to miss connection with
live wire, sees an open coal hole
just in time, unknowingly walks I'M

story, enters his Office in a building
built in violation of the building
laws, collides with book agents, has
narrow escape from eleven insur-
ance agents, is mistaken by bill col
lector for some other man, works
like slave to pay tribute to trusts
that have collared everything in
sight, breathes impure air and has
to drink water from a water system

tai and having it's source of supply in
sewer contaminated stream, and re-
peats the lodging tactics on his way
home.
This is the simple life that the
average city man lives.

The Reason

"Why is it." growled the nagging
husband, that you can not bake pies
and cakes and such things like mother
used to maker"
Because" retorted the long-suffer-
ing but now desperate wife, because
you do not provide the ingredients
that father used to provide; you do
not provide the fuel that father used
to provide, you haven't even the tenn
per that your father used to have,
and you have different appetite
since you learned to chew tobacco,
drink liquor, keep late hours and
dose your stomach with patent medi-
cines. Now you eat what's set before
you without any more grumbling, or
else look for another boarding
house."

Special Dispatch to The Star.
July 1.-For the first time In the history of

smart set in the club house foyer stalls
We're prevented from induging in gambling

Only women accompanied by escorts were
admitted to speculate, and then only
through assistance of their husbands
brothers or male friends, who conveyed
feminine wagers to the betting ring
The hundreds of smartly attired women
who come to the exclusive preserves just off
ing gentlemen on every Saturday afternoon
and big stake day, but fortified with as
much money and inside information as the
verest professional race follower, were un-
able to call Here, boy" to a nearby com
missioner. and so arrange for laying of a
flyer on their choice.
Early today the club house commissioners
were warned 10 have nothing to do with
the women.
Take no bets and hold no race pools for
any woman. was the edict read to the few
messengers allowed to circulate through
the foyer promenade, where members of
GothamS smart set retline in Swayng
wicker rockers while the struggling horses
out on the track settle tie luck of their
hazard.
The commissioners obeyed, for the track
police We're there 10 watch them.
The women who came to the track with
a man. of course. found him useful and
wagered freely ever. but for the first
time the lonesome una ttached,' ladies had
to look on the sport without having a bet
down.

The best way to protect an army against
typhoid fever, that terrible enemy which 1t
must face in both peace and war, is doubt

that method successfully during the stress
Of war requires a veritable genius for the
saving of life which no nation, except the
Japanese, has ever yet shown. Another
method from which much is hoped, and
which can be applied In time of peace so
that its good results can be reaped later on
in time of war, is by incubation. Germany
has recently had commission composed of
some of the nations greatest medical stu
dents, at work upon the subject. and the
findings have just been made public
Part of this report deals with the best

Traffic in Fraudulent Food.

From the New York Journal OF Commerce.
Gratifying evidence comes from time TO
time. in reports of food and dairy com
missioners and bulletins of boards of health
in various states, of the increasing interest
in the adulteration, sophstication and false
labelling of articles OF food, drink and
medicine and of growing efforts to sup
press the infamous traffic In these dele
terious or fraudulent compounds. The in
jury and the infamy of it are coming to be
more and more realized by the people, and
sentiment is becoming concentrated in sup
port of remedial legislation and vigorous
execution of salutary laws. but the public
mind is still in need of enlightenment on
the subject until a public opinion shall be
formed which will no longer tolerate u
system of deception and fraud by which
consumers are cheated and the general
health undermined. This business has
grown up in the most insidious fashion
with the increased use OF prepared and pre-
served foods until the alarming cry of the
might be transferred to the can, the jar
and the bottle. with their flamboyant labels
that attract the eye and deceive the mind.
The adulteration and Misrepresentation
of food products has grown mainly from
three motives desire to attain heapness
of cost, a desire to make the articles at
tractive to the eye and the taste, and an
effort to preserve the articles from degen-
Grafton and decay. If an article of food or
is no excuse for Disgusting II or pretending
that 1t is something else. and the principal
reason for doing so Is that 1t may be sold
under false pretenses for more than II Is
worth as an article of nutrition or of grail
fication to the palate.

WOULD PROTECT NATIVES.
Archbishop Opposed to Liquor for
Western Africa.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence CT The Star.
LONDON, June II, 1906
The Archbishop of Canterbury Is making
a strenuous fight upon the introduction of
intoxicating liquor into West Africa, espe-
cially in Lagos and Nigeria. He claims
that In Lagos and Nigeria there is prac-
tically no restriction upon the sale of
liquor. There are indeed certain rules and
regulations. but as regards retail sale there
WAS almost absolute freedom. so much
that liquor has become a kind of cur
rent coin.
In northern Nigeria the sale was abso-
lutely prohibited under the guidance of S.r
F. Lugard, but the railway approached
the frontier danger became immense, so that
by smuggling and in other ways liquor
might be introduced into that region IS
well. From the very first in this region 1t
has been recognized that one of the great
perils which would attend larger CONNER
cial intercourse with Europe would be the
introduction of liquor in manner dele
ferrous to the health of the individual ma
tives and the prosperity therefore or their
community as whole.
In 1899 a deputa ton was introduced to
Mr. Chamberlain upon this subject. They
found him enthusiastic supporter of the
cause. He declared that the liquor traffic
as carried on in West Africa was not only
discreditable to the British name, deroga-
tory to true Imperialism, but also disas-
trous to British trade.
The late Lord Salisbury ten years ago
spoke in the strongest terms about the ex-
treme character of the evil which the un-
restricted traffic caused among the natives
Sir F. Lugard wrote an article which was
an argument In favor of the strongest pos
sible restriction, while Sir G. Goldie had de-
clared that he could not believe the con-
science of Europe would allow a vast popu-
lation to be used as ceSspool for aicohol.
