The Influence of Diet on
PRINCIPLES.

1t is not to be denied, however,
that the products of maize have
been losing popularity in this
country; they seem to be going
cut OF fashion; they are a little
too coarse for the tender throats
Of the generation that has come
and The one that is coming. The
tastes of the people are growing
somewhat different; patent med
.icines and predigested foods,
made OF nobody knows what,
seem to go together, aid with
these have come new forms OF
Indigestion, dyspepsia, nervous
diseases, aud new causes or wor~
ry. There is an idea in the minds
OF the new generation that corn,
and all the varieties OF tood-all
the toothsome dishes that are de-
rivable theretrom, are to be lett
to those whose tastes are com
mon, and whose associations
must be low. This, consciously
or unconsciously, is the view OF
a considerable number of those
who arc to take up the destinies
Of the Republic and carry them
ID little way on their long jour
ney; and this is curious, too,
when we think OF the nature OF
our political fabric. Are we to
change our principles and beliefs
by means of a change OF diet?-

Remus' Magazine for November.

Col. Bryan's illustrated Book
Of TraVeI.

The success of Col, Rryan's
new book, 1.-THE OLD WORLD AND
It's WAYS gives striking testi
mony to his hold on the popular
mind. 1t recounts and proluseiy
illustrates his recent journey
around the world. 1t has been
issued five months, and we are
advised that, in THAT short period,
tour large editions aggfegating
Al, 900 copies have been called
Tor. The reports of agents, which
have been submitted to US, would
indicate that the demand Tor it is
well nigh spontaneous and uni
versal-that it exceeds that tor
any other book published for the
subscription trade since the per
iod OF "Grant's Memoirs Col.
Bryan's book with like success
depends upon no sympathet c
element for its strength. But t
has IN the part OF the people the
enduring feeling Of personal con
tidence III the great moral and in
tellectual integrity Of its author.
It has an equally pronounced
admiration tor bis brilliant abili
ties, and the untlring energy that
enabled him to cover the world
in his noted tour-and to photos
graph and describe it in his inln-
table way. Without official
place Col. Bryan is everywhere
regarded, at home and abroad, as
a vital force in American affairs.
AS a student OF men and govern
ment, and OF governmental cons
ditions, his observations and con-
clusions profoundly interest the
people. Hence the great sale OF
his book, descriptive OF men and
things seen during his noted tour
around tie world and thrs ugh
tile Nations. 1t is vltal'zed by
2s1 artistic enc rawlings, from pho
tographs taken BY him or under
his super vision, representing
men, places and things that m
terested him and that specially
Interest every American reader.
It is a most unique presentation
Iof a wonderfully interesting Jour.
ney that has caught the attention
of the people, and met with great
demand. 1t Is sold only through
soliciting agents.

MOBILES IN FIGHT
ABOUT A CHECK
Earl and Countess of
Shrewsbury Air Troubles
in Court.

LONDON. Feb. 16.-Once more the
Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury have
brought their domestic disputes before
the courts.
Having separated from his wife 81
1896, the Earl agreed TO pay her an an
nual allowance OF $1,000 This allow
ance has been the subject Of many Iiti-
cations, and the latest suit was brought
by Lady Shrewsbury against the earl
for 1920 the quarterly payment due last
Christmas.
AS the countess was abroad at the
time she requested that the money
should be paid to her bankers, This
the earl refused 70 do, but sent a check
to her solicitors. with the request that
il should be Endorsed by the countess.
The solicitors refused TO accept The
payment IN that form. and Lady
Shrewsbury commenced legal action.
The judges decision was against the
earl, whose lawyer explained that as
Lady Shrewsbury's allowance was for
life only her husband wanted her in
dorsement on the check as a guarantee
that she was still alive
