RATIONAL FOOD

DIR. Henri de Rothschild has offered
two prizes, one of five thousand francs
and the other of three thousand francs.
to a French scientific society to be
awarded for the best paper on rational
food for man. 1t should not be a diff
cult paper to write. The only attrac-
tive way of presenting rational food
seems to be in the form of literature
If the prizes were offered for the best
paper on how to persuade modern man
to live on a rational food diet, that
would be different matter. Also a far
more difficult one.
Nuts. cereals and fruit, neither under
nor over ripe-these form the nucleus
of all rational food diets. Just recently
somebody has included oysters. but
oysters are gastronomically attractive
TO many and doubtless the ultra ration
alists will hasten to mark them off
the menu as soon as they find they
have been placed there. Two or three
Eastern advanced ones have, it is said,
taken to feeding on grass as one Ne
buchadnezzar did in his old age. but
grass is not mentioned prominently as
rational food.
The contention is made by dietetists
that primitive man lived and thrived
on the simple diet. Undoubtedly he
did, and he also lived and thrived with
out the aid of clothes. The daily tub
and the toothbrush, the fork and the
serviette are modern luxuries about
which he knew nothing, and the lack
never affected his comfort. But for
modern man they are necessities. And
he cannot initiate his primitive an
cestor by eating nuts when he is hun
cry any more than he can initiate him
by going without clothes.
In every theory advanced by extrem-
lists there is generally some good sense
to be found. While it is not possible
for modern folk to dispense with cooks,
1t is possible for them (and it would be
a very good thing for them, too) to
simplify their diet. Civilized people
that is, the well to do-eat too much
and too highly seasoned food. Could
these be persuaded to give up their
highly seasoned and highly spiced
viands, the extremists might fiatter
themselves that they were accomplish
ing some good in the world. And they

for they will never make rigidly ra-
tional diet popular.

EDWARD The coNcILIAroR

The news that the king of England is
casting coy glances at Miss Columbia
will surprise no one who has followed
with any degree of attention the career
of Edward since he succeeded Victoria
on the throne. Nor will the most bitter
Anglophobiacs have any ground for the
hope that the Lady of the Stars and
Stripes will hold out against his blan-
dishments. They will remember that
he fiirted with France and wheedled
from her the Anglo-French treaty, that
he made eyes at Italy and she became
so much his friend that she lost the
remnant of affection she retained for
the triple alliance, and that in every
instance where he has screwed his
glass in his eye and looked critically
over one of the lesser powers they
have preened themselves like pea
cocks.
1t may be diplomacy and it may be
merely the ruling passion triumphins
I'm old age. Edward always had a way
with him. only now he employs it for
the conquest of nations. The lords OF

about coast defenses and the need OF
new battleships. Not so the king He

vantage of the tight little isle. He
caressingly links arms with a historic
foe and she becomes a hysterical
friend.
There was a time when nobody,
probably not even his mother, thought
very highly of the present king OF
England. His very nickname, Ed
ward the Caresser," was a term of re-
proach. Today it still clings to him,
but he has redeemed it from all oppro-
brium. He still flirts, but he flirts with
nations, and to some purpose. More
over, he is making the monarchy pop

INTEREST IN LIFE

For a. man of intelligence to claim
that he is tired of life shows that
things must have gone very wrong
with him indeed. For life in the alb
stract is interesting. even if ones fate
seems somewhat untoward. The in
creasing number of suicides would ap-
pear to argue that each day finds some
persons in this country unable longer
to bear the burden of living. The man
who kills himself is not only from his
own point of view a failure, but he
must have lost interest in life. The
latter process is almost a sign of fail
ing brain. That man should lose in
terest in this great busy world, with
its wonders, its Intricate cross currents
of human action, its daily promise of
even greater discovery and invention,
is almost beyond belief. 1t is an a priori
argument that the mind which would
find nothing worth living for never
really took an intelligent interest in
life.
For let our fate be what 1t will. i'm
the mind of the rational man there is
an interest in people and things that is
entirely aside. from an individual one.
The thinking man finds human nature

what his position in life, or how linn
tied his resources, this study is open
to him. Then there is the world of

giving him summary of the news of
the world. Just the happenings of one
day give a man food for thought and
keep life from being dull. Taken al
together it cannot be said, save by the
densely stupid, that life is wearisome,
even if our individual effort comes to
naught. The suicide and the man who
becomes bored as soon as his own pet
ty affairs do not go straight is fur
nishing to the world a certificate of his
own utter selfishness.

THE ScHINDELDEcKER MYSTERY

The pail of mystery that still en-
velops the killing of Schindeldecker
makes more dreadful a crime which in
itself contained all the horrors conjured
by the fevered Imagination of De
Quincy or Poe. In spite of the cease
less efforts of police system admitted
to be the equal of any on the conti-
nent, not a clew has been discovered
that might lead to the apprehension Of
the assassin. The certainty of large
reward has brought forward none but
asperated because of the utter disap-
pearance of the murderer.
The audacity of the criminal is what
battles the police. Here was a crime
committed in broad daylight, in shop
frequently entered by customers and
from which the murdered mans as
sistant was absent only long enough
to permit the commission of the afro
cious deed. That the crime was pre-
the choice of the time and the incident
of robbery when there was assurance
that the criminal would get the largest
possible amount of booty. These two
features may have been purely Incl
dental. Granting this, the police have
to cope with criminal who killed for
Cll of Lii
lost because he made no effort to hide
his tracks.
No common thief living by plunder
killed Schindeldecker. Had the crime
been committed by such an outlaw the
police would have been on his trail in
stanter, for the sleuth of today is not
likely to be at fault when he is follow
Ing the track Of a professional thief. 1t
may not always be possible to arrest
the particular professional criminal who
is responsible for grave crime, but the
work Of a gang or individual is almost
certain to be recognized and the laws

A4dlufe Oh the crime prec1udeS the
probability of professional having
committed it. Your thief kills only in
self-defense. And he adds nothing of
the horrible detail that marked the
killing of Schindeldecker to his crime.
The Seventh street murder was the
work of monster-one of that dread
,ful class of whom we get an occasional
glimpse in crimes where the mutilation
of the victim follows killing. An in

cunning and audacity of a madman.
might defy the police unless he over
reach himself by his own cunning.
There is evidence that the killing of
Schindeldecker may be ascribed to
such criminal. No urging is neces-
sary to impel the police to the utmost
effort for the apprehension of such
monster. The work on this case has
been ceaseless but fruitless, but it will
be continued. The sense of horror that
settled down on the community when
the crime was made known will nor he
dissipated until the mystery is solved.

Sentimental Views of tn. ProbI.,,

The South, too. is affording the COL
ored people opportunity to secure en-
pioyment in many lines of industry. The
time mas not yet come, however, when
the South will invest the negro with
the power to levy taxes and to decide
now those taxes shall be expended. The
disastrous experiments of the past are
still too vividly recalled. 1t is fully in
accord with the temperament of the
president to find him sympathizing al
ways with the man who is handicapped
ana struggling, and he has the courage
TO make his conviction known. He
views the problem sentimentally; the
South must regard it from the stand
point OF contiguity and experience. AS

THE FUTURE OF THE FRENCH
DUEL

The present tendency of the world
seems to be toward the revival of
those forms of cruelty that stimulated
the jaded senses of the people of more
barbarous days. There comes the re-
port from Paris, for instance, that the
latest affair of honor" was settled i'm
the presence of a large and fashion
able gathering. There were no women
present, to be sure, but this doubtless
will be remedied in the near future
and the public will grow reconciled to
the thought of delicate, gentle-minded
women regarding unmoved one of the
most emotional spectacles of modern
times.
1t is the inevitable future of the
French duel. And those optimistic in
dividuals who persist in looking upon
the bright side of everything may as
well reconcile themselves to the
thought that instead of decreasing in
the future. these duels will multiply.

300 years. The affair established a
precedent that must noticeabIy in

honor that will be fought in the fu-

of historic ladies whose eccentricities
are still apt to provoke the unhatter-

he will have to admit that the chival-
rous Gaul has plenty of work cut out
for him.
But he will wish that it were in the
nature of the Frenchman to settle
these delicate matters in the strictest
privacy. A public calIoused to suffer-
ing is a menace to civilization. And
does anybody think that the Partisan

French duel in which passion is torn

sensibilities fatally wounded can. be
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-02-26

the better for it? A little reflection
will convince him to the contrary.
And so it would seem that a general
protest against the French duel as
fashionable spectacle would seem par
ucularly apropos at this time. The
vanity that would not waste a brilliant
sartorial. display on sylvan scenery
merely, is understandable. But put to
him in the right light it is more than
probable. that the. Frenchman will see
the wisdom of not gratifying personal
vanity at the expense of public NOR
ais. He will refrain from increasing

frightful barbarism of the French duel.

COLOR IN THE STREET

Whenever 1 wear a bit of vivid
green or Of crimson on the street feel
like a philanthropist," says the hero
Inc of modern novel; "our streets are
so hopeiessly drab, don't you think ?"
The remark deserves to be taken more
seriously than the sociologist to whom
1T was addressed was disposed to re-
gard it. For while the condition of the
worthy poor would perhaps not be ma
terially improved if more of the well
to do women wore green wells and car
ried red parasols, as this heroine in
sisted, at least more general display
of color in the streets would generate
cheerfulness and cause the passerby
to take more hopeful view of life.
The business streets of Northern
American cities offer in their rows of
drab and dingy brick red buildings lit
tie that attracts the eye. Occasionally
merchant is moved TO hang out a
red sign or display red awnings, but
not sufficient number of either are to
be seen to really vary the monotony of
dull tones. Doubtless the festive posters
on the billboards would lose the slight
attraction they represent for some peo-
pie If they ceased to represent the only
splash OF color on the street. But after
the pedestrian has walked the length
of a block in the shadow of gray sky
scrapers he finds a poster maiden i'm a
crimson gown, violet hat, yellow hair
and pale blue shoes a positive relief.
In Southern countries, though the
buildings may be dull in tint, the peo-
pie are brilliantly clad. EVERYWHERE
there is color and life and motion, with
the result that even the beggars are a
cheerful lot. 1t is true enough that
the gay attire is the natural expression
OF the Southern temperament: that
they wear it because they are cheerful.
But should an edict compel them to
don somber hues, it is quite possible
that the change would react on their
spirits.
Perhaps when this part of the coun-
try outgrows all Puritan influence. the
people will insist on more color in the
street. The Northern woman is con-
servative in her taste in dress, and it
is not probable that she will ever imi-
tate her Southern sister in her choice
of colors for street attire. But i'm the
matter of the hues of buildings and
street signs more latitude could with
propriety be exercised and the result
would add to the cheerfulness if not to
the gayety of the nation or at least the
Northern portion of it.
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-02-26

in the matter; they are rather disposed
to do some experimenting themselves.
To these we have but one word OF
advice to offer: Don't.
The experience of the experimental
lists having all facilities for testing the
rusted wheat for seed is conclusive.
The conditions under which the tests
were made were. as nearly as possible,
identical with the natural and nor
NAL conditions-artificia created, of
course. The results were positive. 1t
certain standard of weight would not
yield a profitable crop. Dean Liggett
did not hesitate in designating the use
less grain and the proofs offered by
him through T h e Globe-supplement
ed in later publications by an official
bulletin-constitute the last word in
the circumstances.
There appears to have been a wide
spread impression that rusted wheat
men who had become SO convinced are
giving up this cherished idea reluctant
ly. But they must give it up wholly.
No farmer can afford to take a chance
on a crop failure because his seed is
unhealthy or undeveloped. 1t is un-
derstandable that the purchase of new.
sound seed at high price will be
great hardship to many farmers, but to
take chance with bad seed would be
foolish. The thing for the farmer to
do at this juncture is to make up his
mind that he will abide by the advice
of the experiment station experts and
make the sacrifice necessary in obtain
ing the best seed.
