Diet for Spring Fever.
From Public Opinion.

From Public Opinion.
A spring regimen calculated II followed
strictly, to reduce the mortality in the
warmer months to come has been published
by the Chicago department Of health in the
shape OF a pamphlet on the subject by Dr.
F. w. Reilly, a former assistant commits
sioner Of health. This pamphlet. sum-
married In the Keokuk Gate City, contains
advice. 1T Is said, tested by entirely salts
factory results during a third of a CEN
fury.
1t Is first pointed out that the amount Of
work done In the human body during the
winter In the mere maintenance Of our nor
NAL % to 80 degrees Of heat would Of itself
be sufficient to overload the system with
tissue waste by the return of spring. But
when to this Is added the special nerve
waste caused by the wear and tear of the
brain and nervous system In the whirl of
excitement and mental activity OF q city
winter. there should be no wonder that
March is accredited with bringing "humors"
and giving rise to pains" Attention is
also called to the fact that increased pro-
duction and reduced excretion of waste, of
refuse matter, of the ashes of the human
furnace. are the real causes, and not any
occult influence of the season. Knowing
this. 1t IS not difficult to understand why
roots and salads, green food and little
meat. are now craved by the natural appe-
tite, and to recognize the wise hygienic
principle in the observance of Lent, with its
meager diet and abstinence from worldly
gayety and excitement.
What we need physically In this milder
weather is to train DOWN and, mentally,
to get rid of brain flag and worry Alum
dance of exercise in the open air, free bath
Ing spare diet, should be the rule for the
coming month or two. To use the furnace
illustration again, the amount and quality
of fuel should be reduced and the flues and
pipes be cleaned. Exercise and bathing. by
favoring excretion and elimination, will do
the latter and rid the system of much peril
Gus stuff accumulated during the suspen-
sion of the outdoor exercise. AS to the fuel
fish. with its food for the brain and
nerves, but scantier supply for adipose and
muscle, should enter largely into the spring
dietary. Fruits. also, and vegetables favor
the cleaning process. The class Of agents
which retard tissue change-tea, coffee. to-
bacco and alcohol-should be used either
more sparngly or not at all. The spring
physic' so largely resorted to by many to
purify the blood may be dispensed with
by those who observe the above regimen
and with much OF gain to health as 1t
Is loss to the nostrum-vendor."

THE WILLOW TREE INN.
A 9Th Avenue Saloon Long Cabmen's
Retreat.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The last of the old buildings which have
for many years stood in humble contrast
with the splendors of modern 9Th avenue is
very nearly gone from 9TH avenue and 4ith
street. Workmen have been wrecking them
for month to make room for new tailor
ing establishment and for the all-night
bank
1t is sad blow to the cabbies who wait
outside Delmonico's and Sherry's. The
Willow Tree Inn, the bedraggled frame gin
mill which occupied the building in the mid
die OF the plot on the 9TH avenue boundary,
was life-Saving station for the cabbiss. 1t
was high stoop house, and moth-eaten
stub of a poplar grew in the space between
the stoop and the sidewalk. Hence the
Willow Tree designation. 1t was pointed
out as the only saloon in 9Th avenue; the
description was not VeraciouS, because
there a lot of shanty saloons above
Carnegie Hill, to say nothing of places like
the Waldorf-Astoria and the Holland House
lower down.
The property was formerly part of the
Paran Stevens estate. 1t for many
years the site of the stables of the 9TH ave-

Mr.. Tietzman, who ran the saloon for sew

larly heady variety of ale. which he mixed
10 the exact SATISFACTION OF the
Cables whose vehicles roasted in 44th
street on either side of the avenue. On cold
nights messengers from the restaurants
never wasted time looking up and down the
streets for a cabby. They made straight
for the bar of the Willow Tree.
The place was not one to attract the Gus
tom of persons who were on their way to or
from Delmonco's. Now and then a searcher
for quaintness and ancient charm found his
way in. The only reward was usually en-
barrassment. The cabbies always seemed
to regard the place as their own private re
treat from the surrounding atmosphere or
luxuriance, and resented any sign that the
Philistine rich were going to make the
place uncomfortable. The walls were satu-
rated with scandals regarding the conduct
of people whose names are always treated
with respect elsewhere. If Marse Henry
Watterson could only get hold of the strip
ped-off plaster and extract the yarns when
have been confided to 1t his paper would
have to print daily supplement to contain
his wrath.
There is tradition that the place was
once a famous road house; II probably mas
no better foundation than that the saloon
satisfied the hearts of the stage drivers
after the line was extended TO 44th street.

A Hint From Carolina.

From the Columbia State.
It Is to be hoped that one of the first
things done aboard the new battleship
South Carolina when it is completed will be
to organize a class in the pronunciation of
its name. Let the crew. from the captain
down. be trained to South Carolina"
The word Carolina is pleasing to the ear,
and is. in its American application, of his
toric significance. The early colony was
named from the Latin In honor of Charles
ii. who made the original grant to the
eight lords proprietors, in 1863. 1t Is, there
fore, part. cularly distaSteful to South Caro-
llnians to hear their state referred to as
South Ca'lna" and themselves of South
Ca leenians." Such corruptions of the two
words are totally inexcusable. Let the crew
of the South Carolina" be trained in the
proper pronunciation of the name, and per-
haps in time northerners who come in con-
tact with the men of the ship will catch the
habit. But, for heavens sake, do not have
a South Ca'lna" in the United States
navy.

Il had a curious experience at the Presi-
dents grounds last Monday" remarked a
visitor to a Star reporter yesterday. with
some friends, all adults, I wanted to see
the children in their Easter pastime of
egg-rolling. but when we reached the
grounds we were refused admission because
we were over age. Keenly disappointed,
we turned away, but had not gone far
when boy approached us and boldly Of
fered to get US into the grounds for 5
cents apiece 1t was cheap enough and
we made a bargain on the spot. The boy
kept his promise promptly and without any
trouble. All he did was to take one of us
in and then come out and take in another
until we were all inside the gates. The
explanation Is simple, as the prohibition
against adults did not apply to such when
accompanying children. That boy made
quarter out of our party and there were
undoubtedly other boys as well as victims"

The Buffalo,
From the Portland Oregonian.

From the Portland Oregonian.
Much has been written In reminiscent and
regTetful strain in the past twenty years
about the passing of the North American
bison The practical extinction. In a wild
or free state, of this ponderous beast. i'm
mense herds of which roamed the great
plateau of the continent until about the
time of the completion of the Northern
Pacific railway in 1880, is one OF the facts
of national history of that vast section
There is a reason for this extinction out
side Of the predatory instinct of the hunter
"a reason similar to that which took the
Indians off of the great plains and re-
stricted them to reservations. The country
was needed for purposes of civilization, and
civilization and the buffalo cannot dwell to-
gether A praiseworthy effort has, how
ever, been made in recent years to preserve
this animal from extinction. but again, like
the Indian, the buffalo deteriorates In con-
fnement and the defamation of his num-

Walnuts In Washington State.

FROM the Seattle Post lntell1gencer.
Ten prominent farmers of the Wen
atchee valley have decided to conduct a
series of experiments in the cultivation
of English walnuts. They have secured
sufficient seed to plant forty-five acres.
One man proposes to devote twenty acres
to nut trees. The promoters hope to DEM
onstrate that the soil and climatic condi-
lions of that section are adapted to sue
cessful nut culture. The market Is at
their doors, and success Is assured when
the crops are harvested. The new indus
try promises a profitable investment. and
will add much to advertising the country
as desirable location for diversified tree
culture. Walnut growing is comparatively
new to the orchardists of this state. 1t is
not in the experimental stage. One farm
In Chelan county has produced excellent
nuts The trees were grown from seed
and began bearing nuts when five years
old. Last season they gave better profits
than any fruits in that section. Similar
results have been attained in Clarke
county and other localities in the Puget
sound region. The only reason why home
grown nuts have not been placed on the
general market Is that no large areas
have been planted. Now that Wenatchee
has made a beginning 1t remains for
other districts to follow.
The use OF nuts as food Is increasing
every year throughout the United States.
Physicians recommend nut diet in many
instances as a meat substitute Scientists
claim that much of the sickness of the
people originates in the use of improper
foods that can be remedied by eating
more nuts. To supply the increasing de-
mand our country must import large
quantities of nuts from foreign lands
every year. The money sent to South
America and other places for these neces-
stiles could be used at home in building
up the farms and identifying the resi-
dences If the farmers produced the nuts.
Here. then, Is one of the opportunities.

which are the results of his scientific re-

through the wastes were many straight
