Diet,

In much that Is written concerning
the matter of diet there are so many
sweeping statements, impossible rules
and foolish conclusions that it is no
wonder that many persons brush the
whole subject aside as being too COM
pick for them.
The trouble Is that there are too
many persons trying to enforce their
own personal ideas on this subject.
There are the "cranks" who must have.
something to be cranky about in any
case. and 'crank" who has picked
up little scientific jargon and thinks
he has cured himself of something is
very persistent person. Then there
are those who have really been cured
OF some ailment by diet that happens
to suit their own Individual cases. They
go about forever afterward finding the
same ailment in everyone they meet and
offering the same remedy. There are
also the onefood people. who go about
seeking what not to devour, and who
would reduce every one to whole wheat
or pecans.
Whole wheat and pecans are excel
Int foods and do much good, but so
do blaclheart cherries, Holsters and
corned beef and cabbage. If John dis
covers that he has n nightmare every
time he eats lobster he does well to
renounce that dish, but he need not re-
nounce it because Dick has the night
mare.
Again, one hears much Of the good
Judgment displayed by those persons
who rest for at least half an hour aft
err eating, and 1t would. undoubtedly,
that we could all do so, but unfortun-
ately the business Of the day rushes
along, and most persons, at least I'M
til they come to their evening meal,
must go to work as soon as they have
eaten.
1t Is true that this fact constitutes a
strong plea for light and easily digested
meals in the daytime, leaving the prin-
cipal one till the work Is finished.
1t Is absurd for persons who have
not made themselves somewhat famil-
lar with the chemistry of foods to try
to talk learnedly about their action on
the human economy, and 1t may be
taken as an axiom that within the in
dividual capacity (Which can he learned

indescrIbable quality, about these early
administrations of law and equity that

W0RLD.FAMOUS VOICE

1t is rare that 50 many fine things
are said about a. singer as have been
said about Herbert Witherspoon, whose
splendid bass voice will be heard at
the Clarence Eddy organ recital at the
Auditorium next Monday evening.
Mr. Wltherspoon spent portion of
last year in London and the British
provincial cities, and there his success
was as marked as it had been in his
own country. He commenced his Lon
don season with a recital that called
together a large audience Of the musical
elite. This recital consisted Of a great
variety Of songs from Irish ballod Dis to
English and American songs and
French chansons. The critics found his
voice so fine and effective, and his in
depreciation so satisfactory, that there
was but one result, unanimous and eff
fectual verdict of the highest encom-
iums. ...:~...s
Nothing seems too difficult for his
accomplishment. whether it be the pom
derous solos Of the Messiah, or the
most fanciful and delicate composition
of Nevins!! His voice is under perfect
control and is capable Of an extraordi-
nary volume as we'll as the tenderest
sentiment.
Mr.. Witherspoon' numbers in the
coming concert will give an adequate
idea of his powers. His selections range
from Verdi aria to a Handel solo, and
include groups Of German and English
songs.

|SPOONER CLASHES

Little Bob" Loses in Fight Over
Plum Intended for
Wilder.

Washington, March 2.-Senators
Spooner and La Toilette, both from
Wisconsin, have, presented the remark
able spectacle Of both appearing before
the same committee, but at different
times and making arguments for and
against a nominee for an appointive Of
fee. Such an incident has not oc-
CURED in recent years.
The committee on commerce yester-
day, by a unanimous vote, ordered a
favorable report on the denomination
Of Amos P. Wilder, editor of the State
Journal, at Madison, to be consul gen
eral to Shanghai. This paper is said
to be a rabid anti-La Toilette organ
and represents the stalwart faction in
Wisconsin politics. ..5.
Senator La Toilette first appeared
before the committee and entered a Wig
orous protest against favorable re-
port on Mr.. Wilder s. nomination. He
| informed the committee that Mr.. Wilder
| was personally Objectionable to him.
I He submitted number of editorials
| printed in Mr.. Wilder's paper severely
attacking and critieising him. In adj
dition Mr.. La Toilette argued that Mr..
Wilder was incompetent for such an
Important position. He made a strong
statement of his case and withdrew
with the hope that his. political enemy
had been defeated. -. ii
A few minutes after the argument
made by Senator La Toilette, his col
league, Senator Spooner, appeared be-
fore the committee and made an argu-
ment IN favor of Mr.. Wilder. It is
self evident that Mr.. spooner's argu>
ment, was weighty, for the committee
unanimously voted for favorable re-
port. .s- d. 1870.
| All the democrats reached the con-
clusion that the matter involved a fam
lily quarrel and they would have moth
ing to do with it and so voted for a
| favorable report.
It is not known whether Mr.. La Fol
| lette will seek to hold the nomination
up in the senate. He would be able to
do this for long time, as a matter of
senatorial courtesy. Senator Tillnan
was able to prevent the confirmation
OF Dr. Crum, negro, as collector of
customs at Charleston, for nearly four
years, altho he had the assistance of
the other democrats in doing SO.
This is the first important bump Sena-
tors Spooner and La Toilette have had
since the former governor came to the
senate. 1t is predicted that many SINH
lar family jars will follow.

weather bureau is going to. explore the
upper atmosphere. It is just a little
bit remarkable that we know SO little
about things over our head. Human
beings cannot live for any. length Of
time more than four miles above The sea
level, and no one has ever penetrated so
far as six miles, and beyond the fact
that the temperature falls at the rate of
II degrees Fahrenheit to the mile, and
that the density of the air is halved
for each three miles Of ascent, scientists
know nothing. The weather bureau
hopes to explore the upper air for many
miles beyond by means Of a number Of
little rubber balloons carrying with
them automatic instruments for regis
tering the temperature, density and
other facts as high up as the balloons
will carry them.
