DIETS AND THE DOCTORS.

What with the VeSetarians who eat
no meat and the rheumatic sufferers
who eat no fruit, and the equity who
takes no nitrogen IF they know ii. and
the dyspeptics who eat only foodless
foods. life stands to lose one of its chief
joys, square meal. And IT is not quite
true that instinct rises superior to the
CRY and that after all people eat what
is good for them. Readers and think
ers are deeply Influenced by chemical
symbols. and it is not rare for a pallid
dyspeptic of tuberculosis tendencies TO
endeavor TO practice the economies of
netabolism ingeniously set forth bv
some of the physiological chemists. 1t
Is high time somebody raised a voice In
protest, for surely no people stand in
so little need of this counsel as do ours
our husuing population requires a good
deal OF nutriment and is suffering from
lack rather than repletion.
As n race possibly we have not lived
long enough in America to be thorourb-
y acclimated. We speak of the effete
populations of Europe. but no one who
mad seen them would ever call the En-
ropean peoples effete. and the impress
sion Is ineffaceable that what we need
mere is better cooked food and more of

would certainly be difficult to construct
any scheme of diet on which the pro-
iesslon would agree.
There Is scarcely an article but finds
condemnation somewhere among us

nounced by the paediatrist as unwhole-

include pork and bacon, which DR.
Woods Hutchinson insists are the kew
stone Of our national greatness. Even
In the dtetetics of diSease-this rather
than health being our chosen realm
utter confusion and disagreement reign
Chemical formulas of horrifying elabor-
alton lead one to condemn red meat in

ment readily assimilable and easily dis
posed Of And the quarrels over food
stuffs permissible TO the rheumatic are
eQualed only by those over carbo-
hydrates in grave diabetes. II is a
crying need of the time that the profess
sion reaches q consensus of conviction

triton in health and disease before they
attack the more venial superstitions and
absurdities of a much beset laity First

ALFOUR'S NEPOTISM
F|ERCELYDENOUNCED
Former Premier Gave His
Brother a Fat Job.

Labor and Radical Members of Parlia-
ment Disturbed Over Intelligence
That Gerald Balfour Gets
$4,000 Annually.

LONDON. June I6.-The Labor and
Radical members of Parliament are
threatening TO expose the nepotism and
inconsistency Of Arthur Balfour. arlsto-
crat, late prime minister. and leader
OF the Tory party in parliament. Be
fore the people kicked him and his party
OUT or office. Balfour placed his brother
Gerald Balfour on the political pension
list. with a pension Of $4,000 a year for
life. A more scandalous political job
haSn been perpetrated in England for
decades. and II has aroused the Labor
and Radical members of the house Of
commons to Indignation.
What makes the scandal worse IS
that Gerald Balfour is rich and doesn't
need pension. Balfour's grandfather
made huge fortune as an army con-
tractor in India and with his wealth
married his children into the highest
circles Of the aristocracy.
Il Am England's Last King"
A curious story OF King Edwards

Believes in Pear-Shaped World.
A novel theory as TO the shape Of the
earth Is put forward By Prof w. !
SolIas. who has been lecturing in Lon
don on Man and the Glacial Period -
He contends that this planet Is not a
sphere but pear shaped. with the Pacific
ocean AT the broad end. and Africa
where the stalk is attached Prof SOL
las believes that the thickness OF the
geological formation OF the earth's crust
is about nifty miles, rejecting the ac-
cepted theory Of a twelve-niIe crust
ana his estimate OF the period neCes-
sary for the formation OF the stratified
rocks Is 100000 years. These rather

OIL KINGS PURSE

ShOpkeepers Feel Bitterly
Toward American.
ENJOYING HIS VACATION

PARIS. June 16.-To the intense
grievance of the shopkeepers Of Com
peigne, John D. Rockefeller. sthe richest
man in America. if not in the world,
buys nothing.
To add to the bitterness, the resi-
dents. rather than stand the eXtortion-
ate price scale set up when the Rookie
feIIer visit was announced. are sending
10 Paris for supplies. What tourists
were in Compeigne fed the first day the
price Increase came. and now the over
jealous merchants are sick at heart.
The tradesmen conceived the idea that
as Rockefeller had one hundred times
as much money as Charles NJ. Schwab.
James H Hyde. and other =penders OF
good American gold, he would naturally
spend a hundred times as much as they.
Even Raised Gasolene Price.
In order TO please Mr.. Rockefeller. the
shopmen even increased the price OF
gasolene until every autoist shuns Com
peigne. Funniest of all is the bitter
blow dealt the honest but pourboire TAX
ing peasantry.
From miles around the housewives
in all the picturesque toggery of their
districts troop in every morning to the
gates of the old chateau.
Mr.. Rockefeller appears all right. he
bows all right. and he smiles all right.
He even says bong jewer," but his
hand stays away from his pocket. and
the bowling Of the quaint head dresses is
all IN vain.

said,

Paris as a health resort is what the
doctors advised at the last meeting Of
the Academy of Medicine. They de-
clare that the City of Light is a good
deal wholesomer than many of the pop
ula- resorts to which people flock both
summer and winter.
The average mortality in Paris IN 1906
has been ia per loo inhabitants. There
have been no serious epidemics of con-
tagious diseases, such as measles. ty-
phoid. and scarlet fewer, etc. Even
isolated cases Of these diseases have
been very rare during the past year
On -he other hand deaths from liver
complaints due to the excessive use of
alcohol have greatly increased.

BOOK ON SPIRITS
Cardinals In CONSERVATION
at Liberal Views.
VATICAN PHYSICIAN AUTHOR
Pope Also Refuses. to Condemn Chris
tian Science, Saying There Is Much
Beauty in Teachings.

PARIS, June 1G.-As IL he had not al
ready done enough to shock his car
6inals, Pope Plus Y has created con-
sternation in the Vatican by indorsing
a book on spiritualism, written by his
physician, Prof DIR. Lopponi. The car
dinals who, without any exception. are
opposed to spiritualism as the work of
the devil, made the utmost efforts TO
have the book placed on the index ex-
pugatorius, but his holiness, who had
read part of DR.. Lopponfs manuscript.
insisted that the book contained many
valuable things and refused to listen.
In his work, the title of which is
'Ipnotisimo I SpiritisimO," Prof. LOp-
poni. who for many years has been en-
gagged in psychological researches. takes
the same stand as Lombroso. Schiap-
arelIi, and Crookes, and through many
wonderful stories of ghosts and spirits
endeavors to prove the connection be-
tween the material and the spirit world.
The book has created a sensation in
Rome and aroused a very strong inter-
est in spiritistic phenomena among
members of the high aristocracy who
have begun to experiment with med
iurns and several of whom declare that
they have been able to communicate
with their ancestors
Horrible dictui it is also declared
that the Pope has refused to condemn
Christian Science, saying that he is not
yet familiar enough with its teachings
TO express an opinion and that he even
sees much that is beautiful in It.

The vicissitudes of a Claude Monet
NO.
sof Montmartre-
The picture was treasured by an old
woman. who as a girl had sat for
Monet. who gave her the canvas as a
souvenir. She was compelled to offer
a picture TO her pastry cook. who press
ed her for money. The 'patissier" ac-
cepted this settlement. and although he
was ignorant of the real value of the
painting, he organized lottery for it.
The winner did not want the picture.
but she said he would take a meat pie
instead. So the despised picture was
cast aside as a worthless thing.
But the story came to the ears of an
art dealer, who, finding the picture was
a genuine Monet. gave the astonished
pastry cook s.. 400 for it.
Warned Against Tuberculomania.
'Tuberculomania" is the latest COM
plant which is almost exclusively re-
strIcted 70 young physicians. At a re
cent meeting Of the Academy of Medi-
cine the older members warned the
young men against what they called
'tuberculOmania-" They said that tuber-
culosis was a craze with young doc
tors: that they saw signs of consump-
tioE il every symptom their patients
had The slightest aenemia, or bron-
chial trouble, or neuralgia, or indi-
geStion was at once set down by young
practitioners as tuberculosis. So much
has been said about consumption of late
years that half OF the world believes
itself afflicted with the dread disease.
and they are encouraged in that belief
by many physicians, who are themselves
deceived.
