Some people may be disposed to
laugh at the Boston clergyman who
asserts that the world is becoming
hopelessly wicked because we have too
many good things to eat. The Boston
dominic, however, is merely the
evolved product Of that dietetic phil
osophy, fashionable Just now, which
teaches that you cannot possibly find
anything wholesome to eat-that one
thing will destroy your stomach, an
other will annihiIate your liver and
still another will ruin your kidneys.
A consensus Of the experts in this line
would undoubtedly show that our only
resource is to starve to death, since
there Is nothing fit to eat or drink.
The Boston preacher has not got quite
that far along, but he Is in q fair way
to arrive. A reaction from this food
phobIa Is about due. Indeed, It Is al
ready in progress, since a great many
people who undertook to follow the
instructions OF the food sharps have
given 1t up IN despair, going back TO
the old principle of eating what they
like and in quantities to satisfy them.
We hear less about people digging
their graves with their teeth and SINH
lar wise saws. There Is not now so
much solemn, didactic humbug on the
subject. People will shortly realize
that the average adult has pretty
good tdea-gained through experience
~ a IA TaIv 0d ho
he is a better Judge of his needs and
limitations in that direction than any
body else can poss-ly be. That Is, if
he finds that certain things agree"
with him and other things disagree"
with him he would be very foolish to
ignore this self-attained knowledge
and accept the dictum Of some self
constituted oracle who lays down
diet for mankind without regard to in
dtyiduaI tdiosyncras Man IS, after
all, an animal, and he retains some
thing Of the instinct which warns the
lower animals against unwhoiesome
food. Where his instinct is at fault,
moreover, his reason, basing It's deduc-
lions Upon his experience, will guide
him safely in matters dietetic. AS a
general proposition it Is safe to say
that man will be best off as regards
his stomach If he eats what his fancy
calls for. If he finds that his appetite
is misleading him then it will be time
to take counsel Of the food sharps-
who will promptly advise him to quit
eating altogether.

Grandmother Knew.

The lore of grandmothers exceeds
even that Of mothers, for they have
the experience of two generations in
stead of one. A certain Massachusetts
grandmother has grandchildren In
Honolulu, and last winter, musing over
their daily life, she said to her daugh-
ter at home:
Il must knit those children some
mittens.'
"Mittens, mother cried the young
er woman. "Mittens for that climate?
When are they going to wear them ?''
Il can't help the climate" said the
grandmother, placidly. Climate has
nothing to do with it, All children like
mittens, and all children should have
them. I shall take them up to-mor-
row."
She did take them up, knit and
bound them off, and sent them TO Hon
olulu.
She was justified by the event. For
the children's mother wrote her on
the hottest day Of the year: Il must
tell you, though in this heat I have
hardly the energy to hold my pen, that,
although we grown people are torpid
under the infection Of the weather, the
children have demanded their mittens.
and are parading up and down, wear
Ing them and very little besides. No
matter how high the mercury climbs,
1t is evident that those mittens are
bound to be an unfailing JOY"

HAVE SOME FUN OUT OF THE SNOW.

Every boy and girl knows that it is
great fun to make formations out of
snow. Why not be a little artistic?
Instead Of making a common old ball,
why not make figures? 1t will result
in lots Of fun, and is just as easy.
Take, for instance, Uncle Ned's
suggestion Of a snow lion. Here is a
picture Of one made of snow.
Roll up one big ball for the head
and place it in position. Then bigger

Battle as a school for manners has
not stood high. The Japanese have
taught Us many things, and among
them the possibility Of combining
agreeable demeanor with war. We
look upon Grants treatment of Lee
as an exception, and so it was, but the
Japanese leaders have not once failed
IN courtesy since the war began; in
courtesy, or in that modesty which is
equally necessary to politeness. The
Japanese may be the best soldiers in
the world. They are certainly the most
gracefully polite Of races.

as a table knife With this and your
hands it will not be very difficult to
construct the snow lion as shown II
the picture.
If you wish to make the lion look
more real, stick some hay or straw
on him for a name. Two pieces OF coal
will serve very we'll for eyes, and
pieces of wood with sharp points will
do finely for fangs and teeth.

1t is often pointed out that there
would be fewer divorces If there were
fewer hasty, careless and ill-consid-
cred marriages. That Is true enough,
but 1t Is q poor truth which will not
work two ways. If it were harder to
get divorced there would be fewer of
these ul-considered and idiotic mar
riages to begin with. If the people

Chicago, April 25-A Washington
special to the Tribune says: -.
The isthmian canal commission, ap
pointed on April 8 by President Roose-
welt, has had it's first difference of suf-
fcient Importance to warrant it's pres
entation to the secretary Of war. Four
members of the commission have pre-
sented to Secretary Taft a dignifed
protest against serving in positions
of the executive commi ttee, but as
subordinate to Chief Engineer Wallace
"Secretary Taft has called upon the
members of the executive committee for
their views, and it Is understood they
have agreed to change the status of
the protesting commissioners so they
will officially and otherwise occupy the
same plane as Mr.. Wallace.
This is the explanation of the visit
which Messrs. HaIrod, Haines, Enid
missioners, paid to Secretary Taft.
There is another reason, it is report
ed, but which, apparently, has not been
laid before Secretary Taft-that the
men named desired to 60 ahead and
formulate plans for the construction Of
the cananal, but were opposed by the
executive committee, composed of the
chairman and two members.
When President Roosevelt disbanded
the old commission mad appointed its
present personnel, the main idea under
lying his action was to minimize fric-
ton, and thus to have complete harmo-
ny in the construction of the canal.
| The men were selected not only for
their ability but for their personal
qualities as WE'LL What was wanted
