also gained many seats in the legisls-

that the Democrats will have a major /

Democrats had a majority Of 72 on

Religious Doctrine Versus the Un-

Paris, like Athens of old, "ever seek

over a most extraordinary controversy
in the newspapers. 1t is the old an.
tagonism Of science and religion, but
this time it is religion turning the ta-

asking the world to believe the ''un.

DIET AFTER AGE OF FORTY.
An English Authority Lays Down
Rules 20 Lenathen Life.

DR.. Cohen, a noted London physieian
has furnished diet that people ma,
eat after middle age to keep from
growing old too rapidly. Among the
foods most likely to have the effect q
keeping the body youthful, as stated by
him, are the following, which any one
past forty should use in preference to
the heavier and richer articles and
which all city people will probably find
most suitable from the age Of twenty
eight or thirty onward:
MuttOn.--It is better than beef for
sedentary people. The leg is the best.
/ according to DR.. Burney Yeo. Young
and tender fowl and game; eggs light
ly cooked. cooked in every form or
beaten up with milk and little sherry.
Milk.-It is better always to boil it.
1t is as good in puddings, cocoa, coffee,
etc, as alone.
Potted meats and game, If genuine
and unadulterated, are nutritious and
digestible
Fish, particularly white fish, such as
sole, whiting, cod, founders, smelts,
etc. Fish is better boiled than fried.
Grilled bacon.
Sound, pure bread. 1t Is best when
homemade.
Porridge of rice, tapioca, sago, arrow
root. macaroni, made with milk and
eggs.
Vegetable purees Of all kinds.
Stewed celery, stewed onions, spin
ach, artichOkes and nearly all vegeta-
bles.
Stewed or baked fruits Of every kind
and raw, we'll ripened apples, pears,
grapes, oranges, strawberries, etc.
What is to be drunk? If wine or beer
be taken, it should be light; if spir-
its, they should be diluted. No alco-
hOllc drink should be taken except i'm
very small amount.
Tea, coffee. chocolate, are all good.
Tea and coffee, however, should be
light and quickly made.
Hard water is probably an active
agent in aging the body. 1t is said to
produce calculus and may harden the
arteries. With hardened arteries one
,annOt be young. Use soft water for
These are only some of the foods that
nay be used. It is a mistake to restrict
he dietary too much. Moderation is
he thing to keep always in mind.
With attention to food, air, exercise
md the hygiene of the mind, most peo-
lie might be ten or twenty years
-ounger than they really are. The
'reat scientist Dr. MetchnikOff thinks
Ve ought to live ten times as long as
he period we take to develop-that is,
rom 230 to 250 years. There is no
eason, therefore, why we should not
emain youthful until we pass seventy

of the school at Nolan's Run, near
Lumberport. suddenly left this sec
ton of country. and his actions in
this are unaccounted for as yet.
Boggs has been missing over a week

that he Is now in Oklahoma He
went from his school a week ago last
Friday evening to Lumberport, where
he remained all night with friends
and Saturday morning he was up and
away before breakfast. He did not
tell any of his friends there that he
was going away. and his sudden dis
appearance caused them much appre-
hension until few days later one of
them received letter postmarked st.
Louis. Mo. which proved to be from
Boggs. 1t requested that his resigna-
ton as teacher of the Nolan's Run
school be handed in. Nothing more
was heard from him directly. al
though inquiry resulted in the in
formation that he was on the way to
Oklahoma.
So far as is known he was in no
trouble at the school, and. hence. none
can assign any reason for his sudden
departure.

SUFFERERS HELP
Asks Them TO Make Their
Wants Known to the Com
pany at Once. q

MoNoNGAH. Dec. 1o.-PreSident
c. w. Watson issued the following
singned statement last night at 10
o'clock:
Realizing that the number OF rel
atives and friends of those who lost
their lives in the recent terrible ca
lamity is too great for personal in
terviews with all OF them at this
time, the company takes this means
to express its most sincere sympathy
with each and all of them in this
common misfortune. Whatever the
company can do to alleviate suffer
ing and lessen distress it is Its earn
est desire to do it and trusts that
all of those concerned Will present TO
it their necessities and desires.
The work is now in progress and
1t is too important to be neglected
for moment, but the company
wishes no one to feel that the living
are forgotten. All that can be
reasonably expected of the company
it hopes to perform and it invites a
personal conference with all who
feel in any way the burden of this
loss.
Let US all remember that time and
patience will be required but that
much can be done by friendly CO.
operation.

EDWARDS GREAT DIAMOND.
S75O,OOO Stone Given Him BY The
Transvaal.

London (By Cable) Every loyal
Englishman Saturday celebrated the
birthday of King Edward, who was
born November 8, 1S41. 1t is a GUS
tom of long standing and its observ-
ance has at times been somewhat
prefunctory, but there is a genuine
ness in the English sentiment today
which is highly complimentary to
Edward VII He is very nearly the
ideal English monarch - one who
reigns, but does not govern, save by
the beneficent influence he eNerts
for the benefit of the kingdom. He
has surpassed the hopes of friends
and discounted the forebodings of
enemies, IL he really has any. The
King celebrated the event at Sand
ringham, where the King and Queen
of Spain and the Queen of Norway,
in addition to many other members
of the British royal family, are stay
ing,
The morning was occupied in re-
ceiying an immense number of con-
gratulatory kilograms, letters and
presents from almost all parts of the
world, one of the most notable events
being the presentation to the King
of the Cullinan diamond, the largest
