Heavy Dining and what Comen of I

Heavy Dining and What Comes of It.
 It is announced that a number of of-
 fical society ladies in Washington
 with Mrs. Roosevelt as an active pat
 roness, have instituted a cookery re-
 form.
 To make their good work complete
 the ladies should likewise institute an
 eatry reform.
 If we hark back to the deaths of
 statesmen in Washington of recent
 years we shall find they outnumber ten
 to one those of generals killed and fat
 ally wounded in Anfegicah wars from the civil contest down. Fact first Fact
 second If we inquire into the cause of the going out of these great men we shall find medical authority for the statement that they died of Washington dinners. Man is before all an elimina- tive animal If he takes into his stom- ach more than he can eliminate he stuffs himself up and dies If he does not pass off the earth immediately he drags out a miserable, grunting, limp ing, burdened existence like that of one who walks carrying great weight The brisk, Timber existence, full of the l joy of life, has long since left the heavy eater of either sex. At time when she l ought still to be able skip rope like
 girl of sixteen, the overfed woman puffs and turns purple in the face when { she with the utmost difficulty stoops to pick up handkerchief she has
 dropped. It is disgraceful
 The poisoned trace of the late, heavy dinner is unmstakably evident in the faces of the pulpy, puffy male and fe- male citizens of Washington and New York where the human stomach is most direfullv abused. We call our l selves civilized. yet we have not yet gone beyond the idea that social en- [ iovment consists in stuffing the stom- | acb as if if were that of a fattening eooea Aces ago when mankind were cave dwelIers and the rood supply was nraca rious they used to eat all they could hold when they could get enough | 10 filI Themselves The habit has ap- narentl, survived the Outgrown condi- | tions of that day and IS indulged still | to tbo infinite hurt of the race, es- neciaIIy among the statesmen and so- ctaty women of the national capital We somehow seem STOW to learn that inc race has become civilized to the noint where it can no longer gorge like boa constrictor.
 Society dinner giving and eating in Wa asbington are certainly responsible for tbe snuffing out or many brilliant intellect. also for the passing of many had or silly law in congress The Hon. | T Jefferson PodunksN hurries from 1 heated discussion in the house to the dinner of Mrs Senator Squebus.

A meeting or the clt- izens was held last night at the Coun- ell Chamber to discuss plans and means by which large modern brick school building could be erected. Mayor Mc- Caskey presided over the meeting and after some discussion of the situation a committee of ten prominent business men were appointed to study the sit few days. The committee of ten inn mediately appointed two sub-commit- tees one on subscription and the other to make temporary arrangements for the school. S3 00O and S4.O00 was subscribed to the csuse The insurance money, amount inS 10 s5 600, with the subscription that bas heen and will be raised by the cit i1ens will go far toward, erecting the new building, one that will be a credit to thestown and the district,

nuying Revenue License.


 It was announced at the, Probate Court office today that the payment of revenue license so far this year has been three times as great as against the same period last year. Up to 2 o'clock this afternoon no less than 119 persons had paid license for conducting various lines of business that require special State and county taxes. Dur- ing the first week of last year only sixty-one persons had taken out reve- nue licenses.
 Next week the real rush will be on. Owing to the fact that many have al- ready paid, it Is not expected that the rush will be as great as the closing days of last year. It Is possible, though. for the reason that the number of business houses have increased.
 Both divisions of the City Court were busy today, the judges hearing plead ings in various cases that are to be tried during the next three months. The Circuit Court disposed of a volume of business and the clerks were all busy getting ready for Monday.
 The Chief of Police of Ensley, F. D. Sugg, has been made defendant to a suit brought in the Circuit Court by Felton Stagg, who claims $5,000 as all legged damages. It Is claimed that the plaintiff was arrested and imprisoned without cause.
