patient at the delay and suspicious of
every move of the government. They
are convinced that if victory comes
the bureaucracy. 10 which the realiza-
ton of reforms has been consigned
by the emperor, will be able, despite
the clamor throughout the country. to
keep the execution of these reforms in
their OWL hands, which of course in
their opinion would mean their even

TO MEASURE FERTILITY.
French Scientists Move to Place Ag-
riculture Among the Exact
Sciences.

To place agriculture among the exact
sciences is the hope of certain French
enthusiasts, and as a first step il is pro-
posed TO establish a system of exact
measurements of the fertility of the soil.
says a recent report. A pioneer in his
art of ''euphorimetry, as it is called. has
been M. Varembey. He has made many
experiments. and has recommended a
euphorimetric scale ranging from one
10 ten degrees, each degree to represent
the fertility produced by 1 900 Kilograms
of farm-yard manure on one hectare of
land. He has shown that every degree
of fertility in the soil yields 80 litersA
of wheat per hectare. or 35 liters of rye, l
or AZ liters of barley. or So liters Of oats. !
The effects of other can bel
determined according to this standard.
the present fertility of any soil can bel
estimated from the last crop and the ex-
haustion experience has shown to bel
caused by such crop. and the ~probabley
yield of any one of the cereals can be
calculated from the present fertility +,
While Irregularities of temperature and
moisture must affect crops. il is believed
that theoretical results for normal CON
ditions can be worked out with much
accuracy.

While newspapers are giving facts
about the long-lived and prescriptionsl
for a long life. a scientific journal re.
ports that the ages of four of the Cis-
tercian Trappist monks at the Abbey
of Sept-Fons (Allier), France, amount
to 332 years. or an average life of 80
lears. The lengths of their religious
lives are respectively 81, 6S. 48 and 81
years. The lengths Of their religious
abstinence and fasting tend. as doctors
say, to shorten life. The writer infers
from the above and other facts that
Cistercian Trappists live, on the whole.
to an advanced age. An international
commission of doctors was recently
surprised at the serene joy and health
Of the Trappists, Notwithstanding their
early rising, long studies, chants and
agricultural work. A great number of
maladies are unknown at Sept.Fons.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.

Also q Few Facts om the Same Subject We hear much nowadays about health Foods and hygientc living. about vege- tartanism and many other fads along
 Restaurants may be found in the large cities where no mean, pastry O. coffee Is served and the food crank is in his glory, and arguments and theories galore advanced to prove that meat was never intended for human stomachs, and almost make us believe that our sturdy ancestors who lived four score years Tn robust health on roast beef. pork and mutton must have been grossly Ignorant of the laws of health.
 Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was extended to any kind from bacon to acornS.
 A healthy appetite and common sense are excellent guides to follow In mat ters of diet, and a mixed diet of grains, fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best.
 As compared with grains and vege- tables, meat furnishes the most nutFi- ment in a highly concentrated form and is dlgested and assimilated more quick ly than vegetables and grains.
 Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject says: Nervous persons, people run down in health and Of low vitality, should eat meat and plenty of 1t. If the QlBeBblOn IS LOO k5SOlG at nFSl 1t may be easily corrected by the regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal Two of these excellent tab- lets taken after dinner will digest sey- eral thousand grains of meat, eggs or other animal food in three hours, and no matter how weak the stomach may be, no trouble will be experienced if a regular practice is made of using Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply the pepsin and diastase neces- aarv nerfect diRaEttON unA form of indigestion will be overcome i by their use.
 That large class of people wlio come under the head of nervous dyspeptlcs should eat plenty of meat and insure it's proper digestion, by the daily use of a safe, harmless digestive medicine like Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets com posed of the natural digestion princi- ples, pepsln, diastase, fruit acids. and salts. which actually perform the work of digestion. Cheap cathartic medi- cines. masquerading under the name OE dyspepsia cures are useless for lndiges- tion as they have absolutely no effect upon the actual digestion of food Dyspepsia In all its forms Is simply a failure of the stomach to digest food and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to make daily use at meal time of 2 preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which IS endorsed by the medical profession and known to contain active digestive prin- ciples.
