THE EVILS OF INDIGEs-

IIhLE FOOD.
 Ella Wheeler Wilcox in an exchange expresses the opinion that more people die from indigestible food than from lack of enough to eat She writes as follows:
 Unfortunate as our industrial condi- ton is. and, despite the enormous in- crease in the cost of all foodstuffs since ted States. 1 do not believe 10000 children need suffer from hunger in any city in the world if people em- ployed themselves in studying this sim pie matter of nutritious diet
 The following interesting statement appeared recently in "The Path Find er:'
 "English and. other European papers, as we'll as many of the American pa pers. published the account of man in London named Roger Crabhe, who wagered 5000 with friend that he could live a whole year on the sum or eighty-four cents. He won his bet. and at the end of the year had four cents of the amount left. The mans diet consisted of nettle soup, thickened with corn meal; lentils, a pudding made or bran and turnip leaves. and similar things. At the end of the year he was several pounds heavier than at the outset of his remarkable undertaking, besides being $5,000 ahead in his bank account. The man claims that his physical condition was never better Tn his life
 More children. as well as adults, die from too much indigestiblo food than from lack of food.
 Bread is more frequently the sword of death than the s,aff of life.

out condiments will bui;.S tissue where fine Hours destroy 1t. Fried foods can only be digested by those who are much in the open air and engaged in physical labor. Hun dreds of invalids are seeking after health resorts in the land who need no change in climate and no physician if they would give up fried foods and mixtures of sweets and acids. solids and liquids, at every meal, and be sat- isfied with two or three simple things daily.
 We need more hygiene cooking | schools among the poor, rather than so many libraries. Nothing ails the world today but sell fishness and self indulgence. Selfishness. which grasps for more than 1t needs. and self indulgence, which consumes more than it re- quires.
 All the train of evils on earth comes from that pair.
 Selfishness caused monopoly to take the earth. the soil. from the people. who should enjoy the privilege of using 1t; selfishness cornered the oc- equations and took the profits from la- Dor.
 Then self indulgence caused rich and poor alike to misconstrue the meaning of life's necessities, and to imagine that the sustaining of life and health and strength was an expensive matter.
 Roger Crabbe proved to the contrary. and though none of us wants to adopt his menu for life, we must realize from his experiment how a similar diet would promote health and increase prosperity.
 I know 8 man who has for four years lived on three quarts of milk a day and nothing else, and from 1S0 pounds he has reached POT, which his height of more than six fet renders becoming.
 He performs ten and twelve hours of work daily and his muscles are like iron.
 This diet became a necessity, because he had over eaten rich, solid foods as a growing youth. His family subsisted on good old New England diet" which means, in addition to all kinds of meats, fish and fowl, doughnuts, fried cakes, pies and buildings and rich gra- vies washed down with tea and cof- fee three times day.
 Our Pilgrim fathers were wonderful men; but their descendants do not know how to retain health and youth to mature life.
 The middle aged New Englnad peo- pie are rarely well preserved and suf- fer much from indigestion and rheuma- tism.
 It is often attributed to the climate. but is purely a matter Of wrong diet.
 Keep your digestion and your mind in good condition, and you will be robust in any climate.

WOULD.BE INSPECTORS PLENTY.
Examinations for Meat Experts All Over
the Country

Washington, July 21-Applicants for places as
meat inspectors were examined to-day in 1913
cities of the country. The examination was pro-
vided for and conducted by the Civil Service
Commission and approximately three thousand
men struggled with problems of good meat and
bad. OF the whole number of men who took the
examination perhaps only five hundred will be
needed Immediately. 1t is expected by Secretary
Wilson that he will have serious difficulty in
securing from among these who were examined
to-day the requisite number of competent in
spectors. A considerable proportion of those
who took the examination probably will pass,
but the selections for immediate service will be
made from among those who have the highest
averages Others who pass will be placed on
the eligible list, and may be called into service
later. Secretary Wilson expects to have his
force of inspectors ready to begin work by
August I.
At the instance of the Secretary the examina-
ton was made essentially practical He wants
men who have experience in judging the quality
of freshly killed meat.
Those who passed to-day are men familiar
with veterinary surgery in practical sense. II
is expected that most of the inspectors will be
recruited from the ranks OF the slaughter house
workers themselves. Their work Will be 1rs the
tract dry sailing and sweet pickling rooms Of the
big packing houses.
The examinations were open to all males be-
tween the ages OF twenty and fifty years. Little
attention was given TO eruditlon. this phase or
the test covering only ID per cent Sixty per
cent covered practical experience, while the re-
naming 25 per cent covered practical questions
as to meat inspection. In short. the man who
will suit Uncle Sam Is he who can say plainly
and knowingly whether meat is good or bad
The rules governing the work of inspection
under the new law will probably be promulgated
Tuesday next.
