WASHINGTON, Dec. o.-The hearing Of
the petition Of the State Of New York for
certain changes in the official diet ordered
by the National %Sumptuary Commission
was resumed to-day. Counse for the petit
TONERS averred that the commission had
erred by not consulting sufficiently local
demands Inc habits. Goldfish cakes. for
instance. while doubtless excellent and
stimulating. were unsuited to the New
York taste; and all-wheat bread and pemi-
can were m~onotonous TO the descendants
OF men accustomed TO lobster and cham
payne. The national restriction Of meals
to three a day was severe to New
Workers. From four to six meals q day
had been their habit. The prohibition Of
beer was an actual hardship. Even babies
had been known to cry for IL. There was
much murmuring against the new rule
making the population go to bed at IL 80
p. NJ. Several of the Bed Wardens and
Closing Squad had been assaulted and
public feeling was high. The rule prescrib-
ing a uniform dress rave much dissstisfac-
ton. especially among the women, and
ought TO be modified.
The Chief Commissioners said that he was
astounded to hear such antiq uated, afro
cious sentiments uttered in that tribunal.
In the old days people ate and drank for
pleasure. They gorged themselves. Now
they ate and drank for health. This plea
for a diet calculated for the local taste was
a strange survival Of TIE loathsome doc
trine Of States rights. The sovereign Fed
eral Government had taken upon itself the
regulation OF the diet. the clothes and the
habits Of the people. No exceptions would
be made. He hoped that it would not be
necessary for the President to send Fed
eral troops to New York for the purpose
of maintaining order and orders. As for
beer. its place had been taken by butter
milk as early as President Fairbanks's
Administration. Petition dismissed.

conveyed to the dock.
