 At last. by dfnt of perseverance and by keeping everlastingly at 1t, Senator Teasley got the bill up in committee where 1t was adversed by tie vote.
 Senator Teasley carried his fight to the floor of the Senate and on Friday he gave the regular notice that an eff fort would be made to get the bill from the adverse calendar on the next Legislative day. So the motion came up yesterday at noon. And as 1t came up Senator Miller. Chairman. of the Committee on Finance and Taxation took the floor to beat it.
 ''The committee does not take the position that the appropriation asked for is not meritorious appropriation" said Senator Miller. But the State is doing all the building Just now that it can afford to do. We have made erecting buildings to the extent of $1.16O.000. running over a period of four years The committee is of the opinion that the State has contracted to do all the building 1t can afford to do in the next four years
 We would like to see the Capitol improved as proposed. I want to say for the Committee that 1t has been greatly pleased with the new wing. The architecture Is excellent. the work was splendidlv done. It is an addi- ton to the Capitol that must please all citizens of the State. But We think further Improvement can wait for four years.
 At that time we will carry forward all the plans of identification. w." can build the new wing, we can con struct the new entrance to the Capitol on the east side. We can furnish the Governor with mansion. But We

The Capitol Improvement bill was yesterday taken from the adverse calendar of the Senate by a short and The bill, which was thought to be dead by some, Is very much alive and has a flattering prospect of passage.
 The original appropriation figures will, however be ruthlessly slashed. No $250.00O will be given, no provision will be made for a Governors mansion. and no provision will be made for These are things that wait upon the future.
 But a way will be made for the building of a wing on the North side of the Capitol. similar to that con- structed on the South side and just completed. The bill after. 1t has been amended will provide simply for neW wing and $75.0O0 will be set aside for that purpose. It will relieve the state of the reproach of having a iop- sided capitol for four years. And to do th!s the Senators yesterday indicated that they would vote for the bill

But that was before the big appropriation bills had been passed.
 The measure went over to the Senate Committee on Finance and Taxation. Then 1t was pigeon holed and many Q thing was said and many a thing was done and many an appropriation was made before the bill again saw the light, of day. If economizing had to

me to find great changes and differences in
endurance" says Prof. Fisher. "The spe-
cial result of the present experiment is to
show that diet is an important factor in
producing such alterations.
The practical value of the experiment
consists in the fact that any layman can
apply it, with or without a knowledge of
food values, though with more advantage
II he possesses than if he lacks such knowl-
edge.
IF the dietetic rules OF the experiment
are followed no self-denial as to foods is
required. 1t is however, absolutely neces-
sary that there should be self control
enough to break up the habit Of hurried
eating to which modern civilization has
brought us. habituating us, as 1t does, to
eat against time
The rules followed in this experiment. and
which embody Prof. Fishers own statement
OF the method formulated by Horace
Fletcher, are as follows:
Swallows Istelf.
I. Mastication.-Thorou mastication of
all food up to the point of involuntary swal-
lowing, with the attention directed how
ever, not on the mechanical act of chewing,
but on the tasting and enjoyment Of the
food; liquid foods to be slipped and tasted
not drunk down like water. There should
be no artificial holding of food in the mouth
beyond the time of natural swallowing.
even II, as is to be expected at the start.
that swallowing is premature. 1t is not
Intended to count the chews," or hold the
food forcibly in the front OF the mouth. or
allow the tongue muscles to become ia
tigued by any unnatural effort or position
or In any other way to make eating bore
On the contrary, every such effort distract
one from the natural enjoyment of food.
Pawlow has shown that without such at
tention and enjoyment of the taste o. food,
the secretion of gastric juice is lessened.
The point of Involuntary swallowing is thus
a variable point, gradually coming later and
later as the practice Of thorough mastica-
ton proceeds, until the result is reached
that the food remains in the mouth without
effort and becomes practically taste
less. Thus the food, SO to speak, swallows
itself, and the person eats without thought
either of swallowing or of not swallowing
1t: swallowing is put into the same category
of physiological functions as breathing
which ordinarily is involuntary.
Discriminating Appetite.
2. Following Instinct-Never to eat when
not hungry, even If meal Tor more than
one, for that matter is skipped. And when
meal is taken, not to be guided by the
quantity of food offered, or by past habit. or
by any theories as to the amount Of food
needed. The natural taste or appetite is
alone consulted, and the subject selects,
from the food available only those kinds
and amounts which are actually craved by
the appetite After practice the appetite
gra dually becomes more definite and dis
terminating in its indications.
1t remains to be seen whether the army
authorities will emulate the Yale students
and cut down their accustomed consumption
of that which hitherto has been thought the
bulwark of the military strength and the
reservoir of its courage-rare roast beef,
with other things on the side.
