ANOTHER FAppIsT.

Hardly a day passes that some pro- lessor or doctor or other wise guy doesn't hit all of us in a tender spot, dearest beliefs and habits are to be left us in the near future. As is we'll known some of them have long made war on the great American solace and delicacy, pie. Eating pie, they would have us believe, Is only a shade less deadly than taking strychnine. It matters little what the pic is made of. nor how fault less its construction, it is an enemy to humanity and those who indulge in it arc committing suicide. And yet, the great body of Americans will continue to eat pie. regardless of scientific icon oclasts.
 It has been but a short while since some preacher took a fall out of an other favorite American delicacy and tried to make all the world believe that the succulent and toothsome apple dumping is an invention Of the evil one and a deadly menace to humanity. Here again the man with a fad is up against experience, common sense and human appetites. We have no means of knowing who invented apple dump lings. It may have been Eve, as she was somewhat partial to apples, but at any rate their beginning and starting point must have been long before hiss tory began. They are good, and when properly made they are wholesome, and all the critics on earth can't make good and sensible people believe any harm of them.
 The latest attempt to starve human ity comes from a Chicago medico who makes a vicious and mean assault on pancakes. A pancake, he tells us, fried in lard and saturated with syrup, makes a good poultice to be applied outward iy. and that is all they are good for. This. is outrageous, that's what it is. IL may be possible that this doctor has eaten a pancake made of cheap flour, fried in Chicago butter, and sopped in glucose, and in that case there is noth- ing surprising in his opinion. Accord ing to The Kansas City Journals idea of modern medical ethics. i've must nave no LiQuiuS, no sweets, no SaIaQSs no fried meats, no hot breads, no pastry, no narcotics. and now not even any pancakes. The misguided individual who indulges in ham and egs. pancakes and coffee for breakfast is defying death on three separate counts. Then he goes to lunch and consumes an aI- lotment of fried beefsteak, Boston baked beans, mince pie and hot tea, and four more spikes are driven in his cofiin. And when he goes home to dim ner and faces an embattled array of hot breads, seasoned meats, salads. pud- dings, wines and ices. he may not re- alize il, but he is shattering a vital law of health with every bend of his elbow"
 Well. perhaps such a program as that would upset any man or woman, but the pancakes would have precious lit- tie to do with it. man who follows such a course of diet as that indicated above may not live to be more than 80 or 90 years old, but if he will eat largely of good pies, dumplings and fiapjacks he will have to hire some one to end his life. These faddists make us weary at times.

Mir. WiIey's Hill as to Federal Liquor License.

I1ODlt6 fteSiSleI-
 Mir. Wiley. representative from the second Alabama district./has introduce ed a bill of much importance. and which will cause some discussion. It is to prevent the United States from is suing a license to any person to sell spirituous, vinous or malt liquors or other intoxicating beverages in any community where the sale thereof is prohibited by State or local laws.
 This bill is designed to answer the frequently heard complaint that in pro- hibition States and counties the federal government practically encourages the sale of liquor by issuing a license that protects the holder from federal prose cution, leaving the enforcement of pro- hibition entirely to the State. The fed eral government is by this bill requir- ed to aid the State. The State will en- force its law against the sale of liquor. and will indict and punish as many violators of law as it can find evidence against. and the federal government will indict and punish as many as 1t finds have not a license for the sale of liquor Between the two 1t is reason able to expect that more sellers of liquor will be prevented from doing business than are prevented under the existing federal license system.

How to Keep Well.

Courier Journal
 In his lecture to a Louisville audi ence, pr. Knopf gave some advice which is obviously wise, and which ought to be easy to follow. Pure food, fresh air and care--these are the main things needful in preventing tuberculosis They are valuable also in checking the disease. once it has gained Judgement If progress is 10 be made in combating must work together Tne poor who are not subject to the disease. must live in more sunlight and have bet ter houses Tho rich must look after their own physiral condition and pay greater heed to the houses which they rent to the poor The fight on con sumption IS Just beginning. Let it be kept up vigorously all over the world.

HWWIHVIIIG IIlDWW6,
 Hon A. A. Wiley Congressmen from Alabama has offered a bill in Congress to prevent the United States from is- suing a license to any person to sell spirituous, vinous or malt liquors in any community where the sale thereof is prohibited by State or local laws.
 This measure is a very splendid sup plement for in many Instances where people were violating local laws, they Srotected themselves from United States prosecution by holding license. We hope Mir. Wiley's bill will be en- acted into a law.

When we read of the continuous war going on between Morgan. Hartman and others of the great railroad mag mates we sometimes wonder what good their wealth does them. It is a never ending fight for advantage or supre- macy and we wonder if a poor man doesn't really get more out of life than they do. However. we have not tried the other side of it.

The Chattanooga News tells of two Tennessee farmers who shipped to New York at one time 1.aoo bronze turkeys, averaging twenty-six pounds each. for which they received twelve cents per pound. This was a total of over four thousand dollars in a lump for turkeys. and the News very properly concludes that turkey farming in Ten nessee Is profitable business.

Water. such as it is. is much cheaper in Paris than in most cities in this country, at least for the poor people who consume comparatively little and wish to pay for only what they use. For sS.S6 per annum they are allowed to use nearly twenty-cIght gallons a day, which for all domestic uses ex- cept bathing is ample for a small fami- ly. The proportion is about the same for larger quantities, but the advau- tage over our system here is that they pay for and use a large or small quan- tity as they prefer and do not have to pay a fixed price for a supply of which they use one-fourth or less. It is quite true that water in this city is much cheaper than in Paris, provided each consumer uses all that is allowed him, but 1t is equally true that under our fixed charges many families pay for at least four times as much as they use. This is not fair deal. as anybody can see.
