this way that, that it sometimes fails to recog-
nize the truth when it is spoken. For instance,
number of years ago great western capitalist said
in an interview that the Almighty is working for

meant by that was that the crops were bountl-
full and that the railroad reaping large profits

Three Great States of Health

IN considering the lines of success therefore take
it for granted that the initial mistake of select
ing the wrong strategic line has been avoided. We
will now proceed to find those constants OF success
which the abiding elements of all efficient
action. Those constants are not so numerous
as some people would have US believe. They are
broad general, clear; and it is perhaps account
of their genuine simplicity that many people
are not of them with sufficient distinct
ness. To these constants belong, in the first
place the three great states of health There is
health of the body health of ones moral integrity,
and health of the finances. AS soon as anyone
of these species of health is unbalanced or re-
duced we get into condition of decentralization in
which the strenuous work needed for successful
activity is or less impossible. Let us now
briefly consider each of these essential constants.
With regard TO physical health, it cannot be too
theoretically stated that scientific knowledge
of the of welbeing and disease is as yet so
utterly poor so incipient and tentative, that any
person regulating his her diet and regime accord
ing to what is believed to be accepted theory
of medical science must in the majority of end
by injuring his or her health. Without fear of any
serious contradiction, one may assert that in the

SUCCESS AMONG MEN-By Emil Reich
~ III ~
Reich

Nature is distinctly British in that
she does not like to be interfered with,
or to be annoyed by questions. She
wants to be left alone, in splendid
isolation. She has an ugly knack of
hitting back hard; and the more we
listen to her, the more we shall have
reason to be thankful to her. For
reasons, into which this is not the
opportunity of entering, too many
people are desperately fond of brow
beating Nature, of despising the
grand. old lady, of sneering at her
1t never pays. We can no more jump
outside nature than over Our own
heads.
OF the health or integrity of honor it
may perhaps be said that it is, if pos
sible, even more important than physi-
cal health. By honor we here do not
mean only common moral integrity;
that is, that one must not steal nor lie
This is too self-evident. We mean that
healthy relation to ourselves and to
other people which does not admit of
that curse of modern life, of false
positions. A great French socialist
thinker used to say that property

it had real tangible commercial prospects whatso
ever But Blunt bribed cabinet officers, members
of Parliament and newspaper men; he hired clever
essaries to spread false reports of immense profits
to be made by the company; and he declared false
dividends and manipulated the money market, until
the public was crazy to take the stock which the
insiders were all the time distributing. Pope the
poet in describing the times, wrote:
Statesman and patriot ply alike the stocks;
Peer and butler share alike the box;
And Judges job, and bishops bite the town;
And mighty dukes pack cards for half crown.
As Medbury said years ago: England is scam
dalized at of the developments of Wall Streets
speculation; but there is trick scheme in the
entire history of New York stock jobbery that
not be illustrated by dozens of London examples.
Rothschild's Financial Ruse
MEYER ROTHSCHILD watched the Battle of
field with the interest of a fnancer who compre-
hended the stupendous issues at stake in the conflict
AS soon he that Napoleons defeat certain,
he left the field and after undergoing immense physi
cal eXertion he managed by liberal expenditures, to
get to London in advance of the news. Thus far,
what he had done was commendable piece of enter
prise. Most people, it is fair to say, will concede
that RothsCmld had right to profit by reason of his
superior information gained at such cost of bodily
exertion and actual money although strict moraists
will hold that be had right profit by the certain
loss of Others, or to the gambling phrase, by
betting on a sure thing But Rothschild not
content with this advantage for by clever ruse he
gave currency to a report that Wellington had been
defeated. This he did by of those half truths
which deceivng than whole lies. Of course,
he made great fortune.
In the same way powerful financial interests in
Wall Street to-day will employ every means, even

Beer Income and Champagne Tastes

A NY attempt to take half-neasures, to remain
in post which is half charity, alf-business,
to do what distinctly hates doing to aspire
beyond ones means, or, to the Yankee phrase,
to have beer income and champagne tastes any
protracted relation to a whom really
does not love-all this, and a thousand similar
situations, the death of all success. The prin-
cipal cause of the innumerable maids who have
failed to found a family is precisely in their having
let themselves slide into false position with regard
to a certain man, who not the one they really
needed For that is the horror of false positions,
that they fill the persons concerned with sort of
frantic obstinacy to persist in their false position,
in the teeth of all ordinary prudence There is
more uncompromising pride and concet than that
of the rate, the French call the man who is
failure in life. AS his pride, Dorgne lin reality,

The quicker gets out of such false posi-
tons, the better. There is no excuse in saying
that one was not aware of the position being
false one. No person is unaware of that. One

to undo it with the force of true a true

is THEFT. It was replied to him that in that case
honesty will steal longest" Honesty, by which
here we resolute rejecting of all temptations
to fall into a false position, is of the most
solid constants of success.

which nutrition by solids and liquids is going
in our bodies We neither understand fully the
nature and function of the liver and of the gas
trio juice, nor that of many another organ in
digestive apparatus.
Ignorance of Cause of Disease
THIS statement is borne out by the avowas of
many of the greatest modern men of research;
and it is perhaps no exaggeration to say that
are with regard to the real process by which nutri
ton is commenced continued, and completed as
much in darkness as we were with regard to the
action of the heart before Harvey in the first half
of the seventeenth century, discovered the circulation
of the blood This remark refers, it will be seem only
to normal physiology. When inquire
whether our knowledge of the causes of disease is
seriously as much in advance of that of the DOCTORS
say of the sixteenth century, is undoubtedly
knowledge of anatomy or surgery, then the answer
can be given only with great hesitation.
The causes OF disease are, 1t is to be feared, still
a topic on which our most advanced medical men
are still much in the dark. There is, it must
be admitted, more fashion in diseases than under
standing thereof At present, it is hardly facetous
to say that self-respecting man woman will
entertain the idea of making the acquaintance of a
person. unless that person has undergone at least
one operation for appendicitis.
But if seriously consider how immensely
difficult it is to unravel in that most complicated
body of ours what effects a certain food drink
mCrobe or drug may may not have when we
furthermore consider that the various schools of
medicine are, a rule, in hopeless contradiction
to one another, we cannot but come to the con-
Clusion that the safe way to lasting physical
health is a close observation of ones own nature
together with that of the nearest members of his
family.
TN order therefore, to health proper, that is
the first great constant of success, the probably
sanest advice is this, that ought not to accept
any general system of diet whether wholly carnivo-
wholly vegetarian mixed; ought one
to take it for granted that any general abstention
from this that article of food or drink has been
proved to be conducive to vigorous health No such
theory has as yet been proved that would hold
good generally. The average Turk never drinks
alcoholic drinks, and is strong man; the average
FrenChman never drinks water and yet has, of all
western nations, statistcally the best chance of
reaching, when once fortyour years old, the age of
seventy. Most peasants on the Continent practi-
caly vegetarians, and strong people, most English
meat-eaters, and also strong people,
Health is mostly a matter of common-sense.

III. = HEALTH OF BOD

THE line of success being a
I strategic line, and strategic
line taking its direction from
its angle at the very beginning, it is
evident that everyone DESTROYS of
success must first of all avoid COM
mitting any initial mistake. In fact,
it is clear that whatever precautions
a man may take, however carefully
one may prepare himself for the
career chosen, mistakes in the course
of ones work are inevitable, and
must be discounted in advance. Is it
not indeed IN conSOnance with true
religion to assume that if to make
mistakes is human, it is, as it were,
the business of the Divine Power to
correct our unavoidable mistakes?
But one class of mistakes, it would
appear, even the Divine Power is not
willing to forgive This is the initial
mistake. The most practical, and in
many ways most experienced, nation
of the world, the ancient Romans,
used to say that nothing that is
vitiated at the outset can ever be
mended in the course of time An

STENSLAND WENT
AWAY LOADED

Chicago, Aug. 15.-Testimony indi-
eating that extensive preparations for
flight were made by Paul 0. Stems,
land, president of the Milwaukee
Avenue State bank, and that woman
entered into the preparations was Sc
cured by Assistant States Attorney
Olson yesterday through cross-exam-
ination of Mrs. Ellen McC-acken,
housekeeper for Stensland. 1t was
learned that Stensland took with him
in trunks and boxes, bedding, towels,
window curtains, carpets, rugs and Il
silver dinner set. Some of this is
said to have been traced to Baraboo
Wis, but the big trunk said to have
been taken by Stensland, the detec-
tives have not been able to get
trace OF.
One large trunk is said to be three
feet high and bound with iron. A
box traced to Baraboo weighed .375
pounds when placed on an express
wagon at the Stensland home the
day of his flight. kilograms have
been sent all over the world to de-
tectives to look for the trunk.

PAUL o. STENSLAND WAS NOT IN
WESTPoRT.
SAW A TRAVELLING MAN
Detective Larson Returned to Bara-
boo to Seek an Interview With
Mrs. Leone Langdon Key, and Did
Not Return as He Expected at
Night.
Madison. Aug. Is


Paul o. Sensland, the defaulting
Chicago banker, was not in Westport
a week ago today, or at any other
time. Yesterday morning Captain
Shaughnessy and Detective Boyd
made another trip to Mendoza and
learned that the man seen by David
Lease and others was a travelling
salesman for a firm which sells
scales. He much resembled the
banker and Mr.. Lease took him for
the absconder. 1t was learned that
the man boarded the steamer Wis
consfn at 1880 and rode to Mendoza
station. After transacting his bust
ness there he went to the depot to
take a train south. The train had
already departed and he was compel
led to return to the city on the even
ing boat.
1t is believed by some authorities
that Stensland was never in this vi
entity since the closing of the bank.
The authorities also learned that
Mrs. Leone Langdon Keys visit to
Mendoza a week ago Monday had no
special significance, as she went there
on matters not connected with Stems
land.
Detective Larson went to Baraboo
yesterday noon, for the purpose of
attempting to get an interview with
Mrs. Key. Before leaving Madison
he loft word that he would return in
the evening. He did not come back,
however.
w. ]. Hogan, driver of the police
patrol, drove Stensland about the
city d few years ago in livery rig.
Stensland was a visitor here then.

Red Milk and Butter,

The department Of commerce and
labor has received a report from
Deputy Consul-General S. w. HanauF
from Frankfort Ger, stating that the
dairymen have been very much puz-
zled over the formation of the social
ed red butter and also of red milk
Butter covered in spots with such car
mine of scarlet-colored, formations,
he stated, is unwholesome for human
consumption. 1t is, therefore, useful
and interesting to learn the cause,
and thereby possibly find remedy of
this remarkable phenomenon. A Ger
man scientist, Dr. H. Stadlinger, chem
icaI expert and inspector at the Royal
Bavarian food inspecting laboratory
at the university Of Erlangen, after
lengthy researches has discovered that
the red butter excresence is caused
by very active bactria, which produce
the red pigment. The discoverer has
named this enemy of dairy production
'Bacterium butyri rubri." Dr. Stad-
fingers Investigations developed the
fact that the infection OF this "red but.
ter bacteria" is chiefly caused by the
prolific bacteria vegetation which ex-
lists in the water wells of the German
dairy farms, the germs coming in con-
tact with the dairying implements. In
the doctors opinion the best method
to fight this enemy of dairy production
is painstaking cleanliness in all dairy
ing processes and by pasteurizing of
the cream used for making butter

STRONG DRAGo DOCTRINE.
Contest Develops at the Rio Confer
ence.

Rio De Janeiro, AGg. 15.-A sub
committee of the international Amer
lean conference on the Drago doctrine
yesterday agreed on a resolution even
more general than the one on the pro-
gram. 1t recommended that each
American nation at it's discretion re-
quest the Hague tribunal to study the
questions of forcible collection of pub
lie debts and pecuniary claims of a.!
natures. The Argentine represent
atives alone opposed the resolution,
which was finally agreed upon. The
opinion is expressed that the resolu-
ton will be accepted unanimously and
adopted by the conference. Later it
was announced that the Uruguayan
representative had withdrawn from
the Drago doctrine agreement, which
resulted in a slight movement to
throw the whole resolution out of the
program by a two-third's vote. How
ever, it was still considered probable
that the resolution would be adopted.
