THE LIMITATION" PIE

TUCSON, Ariz., June 20.-[Editor
Herald; In your issue of the 18th inst.
among the editorials, under the heading
of Digestive Degeneracy," you take
issue with Dr. Wiley, the government
chemist, on the (to people with good
appetites) interesting subject of pie.
Your argument is good, based on the
assumption that the pies made by New
England wives of other generations and
the pies of today are made of the same
kinds of material.
They are about as near alike as the
characters of the New England people
who helped to make this country and
the lack of character of class of the
present day who are trying to unmake
it, of which "ex""Mayor Schmitz is a
shinging example.
There are just as good pies made to-
day as ever, but strictly for "home use, "
and like the honest men are not used in
places where the public are served
What we eat today for pie at lunch
counters, quick lunch places, hotels,
boarding houses and in a great many
homes is a mixture of flour of cheap
grade, compound lard (the packers alone
know what it is composed" of, canned
milk, sometimes preserved with forma-
line, which is about as indigestible as
rubber, renovated or imitation butter
in the crust and the filling some kind
of canned fruit canned green, preserved
with various unwholesome drugs and
colored with coal tar dye or other in
furious coloring to give the fruit the
appearance of being ripe, and in some
kinds of pie where the recipe calls for
eggs either artificial or canned" eggs
are used.
For you to place the above described
indigestible mess in the same class with
the pies of the New England matrons
is enough to put crimp in the crust of
Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-23

a real respectable pie or cause it to emit
a protesting puff of steam through the
perforations which outline a letter or
floral design such as our mothers used
to put in the top crust.
II the author of the insult" to real
pie" can formulate a set of rules or
prescribe some kind of exercises or any
treatment or diet by which, faithfully
followed, one can become the possessor
of a stomach with the grinding power of
a sausage mill, the dissolving power of
concentrated lye, the expelling power of
machine for stuffing ''frankfurters"
and lining acid proof one might be
able to handle the modern imitation pie
as we'll as all the other imitation foods
which disorganize the digestive appara-
tus and produce an limitation" man.
The question whether the digestion,
with the assistance of predigested foods
and patent dmitation) remedies, or the
pie of today will finally triumph will no
doubt remain for time to solve, the
same as the question frequently dis
cussed, of whether water will ever come
into general use again for drinking pur-
poses. CHAS. ]. EASTMAN.

In his cold way finds that kissing Is not
necessary to maintain life, ergo, kiss
ing Is reprehensible, OF eeurse; It lH
a aastardly crime, Il breeds microbes
and Ii insanitar% A hes thu kissl
But will the dieta OF these scientists
be observed? Will the kiss be abol-
ished, and will we, to show our affee-
tion, rub noses, or squat and blow
smoke at one another, or slap one an
other on tho wrist? Hardly. We will
20 right on kissing, as before, till the
mythical crack o doom, and oil tho
scientists In the world may go hang,
For the kiss Is as sacred an institu-
tion to tho average person as Is any
thing he possesses, 0 n that palladium
Of our liberties, the constitution, No
one can recolleot the time when man
and woman did not kiss; hence, II the
world has survived the buss Of affection
this long, 1t is quite likely to go lum-
berlng along on Its way for uncounted
centuries, despite its awfulness.
What would life be worth, Pnyhow'
without the kiss?
What baby would be content to grow
UP with the consciousness that 1t had
never felt the touch Of maternal lips?
What boy or girl would trudge will
ingly to school II the farewell from
mother did not speed the way?
What lover would indite sonnets to
his sweetheart's eyebrows did he not
get a pressure of coral lips in returnY
What maiden would consider herself
duly engaged were she not saluted by
her lover for the first time, lips to lips?
What wedding would be complete
were not the kiss given as seal to all
the words and ceremonies and diamond
rings?
1t were as wise to talk OF abolishing
humanity as to abrogate the kiss, sani-
tary or insanitary though 1t be.
No, wise doctors; you are frittering
away time and words in condemning
this most natural Of all salutations. 1t
is an institution; it is SO permanent
part of the routine life that one even
kisses ones mother-in-law-desp the
proclamation that is. 1t is part ana
parcel of all Cupids codes; 1t is sign
manual and certificate of all marriage
vows. Eve kissed Adam in the garden
of Eden, taught there to do it by the
kiss of summer breeze upon the glowing
flowers, and the mating Of the birds
about her. and good old humanity has
been kissing ever since. And 1t VIII go
on kissing to the end of time, all the
Chicago condemnations to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Not kiss? Bah!

INCREASE IN SUICIDES

computations recently made have es-
70 hIished the fact that during the last
twentv-fiye years 100000 suicides nave
occurred in Europe, the frequency OF
this crime has increased in that coun-
try during sixty years, from lS40 10 lsOo
400 per cent, while the population mas
increased by go per cent. To similar
ma agnitude in America the evil or SELL
destruction has grown.
Rapid increase of. this crime concur
rently with increase of divorce proceed
ing and Juvenile crimes has aftorded
matter for widespread comment ana
speculation. By almost every lnVesIl-
gator rapid rise in the number or these
crimes has been attributed to lack OF
religious moral influence; universal
prevalence of free thought, conse-
ouences of it's acceptance, a phase OF
thought which has for many years
yaunted an influential following IN the
large cities both of Europe and Amer
lea. especially Paris, London and New
York One school of free-thinkerS
holds that suicide in many instances is
NOT only iustifiable, but by the laws OF
nature demanded.
"The modern tendency to suicide"
saws an authority on the subject, mas
it's true cause in the religious decad-
ence of our times. From this fact we
NAV Judge of the ignorance OF religion
as an element in the life of humanity.
A conception of the world which is
based on religion renders every con-
dition of life supportable, even the lou

life insupportable on even the slightest
reverse. ."-Dallas News.

PROSPERITY BY LEGAL ACT

For ten years the blessings-and
the profits-of prosperity have been
showered upon the people Of this coun-
try. They have grown accustomed TO
them. But they have also been indus
trious There has been no idly sitting
by in patience waiting for opportunity
to knock at the door. Confidence and
capital have been the twin contributors
to commercial growth, and While
neither has diminished, there is an
oddity in the present situation which
has grown out of them. For three
months or more some have been taking
of possible hard times to come. Inc
sensitive stock market has reHecteo
this feeling to certain extent. MIL
lionaire railroad men have openly
threatened business depression, as IL
it were a matter within their keeping.
The president is asked to restore or
revive confidence by outlining definitely
his program. 1t is now reported tnat
the railroads or the financiers behind
them have established bureau whose
work is to get men of all kinds to Write
letters to public officials in the nope OF
preventing hostile legislation.
At this time the one law that could be
tortured into meaning that something
In the way of legislation had been per-
formed that would diminish prosperity
is the rate regulation law, which, SO
far from having the effect prophesied
a year ago, is now most welcome to the
railroads, who ask an extension OF the
principle involved. But prosperity Is
not within the control of congress or OF
the state legislatures. There are times
when these law-making bodies may IN
terfere to retard or accelerate industry
not final. or we
should never have hard times or
periods of depression. We cannot,
therefore, conclude that there Is any
real trouble at this time which any
legislature or legislation may remedy

KISSES

And now comes a learned Chicago
scientist, who warns all men and wom-
en- not to kiss. He especially argues
against kisses between sweethearts;
he says they are dangerous-not to
arts, as might be supposed, but to
life. He wants salutations confined to
bows.
Another Chicago scientist wants a
person to disinfect the lips after every
fifth kiss; then, he says, fair degree
of sanitation will be insured. AS if
anyone cared, after the fifth kiss, what
happened!
These pseudo scientists are in bad
business. They are wasting their time.
And they are doing all they can to
discourage the god of Love, and to
make counting, which is the entryway
to marriage, disreputable practice in
stead of the most glowingly happy and
ecstatic period of life. They run clearly
afoul of the Roosevelt theor.' of large
families and plenty of them, and they
will, if they carry out their ideas
which they won't-make the dove of
love and the stork very passe old birds
indeed.
It may be, to the coldly scientific
mind, that kiss is something very in
sanitary. So is breathing; no one can
deny that with every inhalation we
take into the system microbes, bacilli
and various other minute monsters that
give enmity to existence. So is eating;
| especially in these days of come
backs" and timed atrocities. So is
drinking, whether one confine his thirst
ouenching to water or go in fol
stronger media, In fact, every actor
OF life is a process of absorption OF
death-dealing animalculae. And yet we
live and breathe and have our being
we dine and drink and sleep, and keeI
the average good health, through many
years.
Why, then, single out the kiss fol
animadversion? Is it any worse thar
the thousand of other acts we perform
daily? Is it any more fatal than tho
scores of other processes which not only
make life agreeable, but make 1t posi-
BILE?
Ay; there's the rub-it is agreeable!

The Modesto Herald, in fine burst

dition that is relatively far worse than

like a mighty slim chance here IN

cans apparently enjoy the serfdom of

smother any aspirations he may have.
California is owned, bossed and run by
the machine and will continue so to be
run until it is superseded by the Demo-
