ordered and he is more prone to lawless acts.
A mans actions are governed by his own mind-his brain. We in
herit from our parents certain traits and characteristics, but they are
;nfnitsimal in comparison to the influence and the daily effect wrought
upon our brains by our physical condition. Inheritance an be nodded
and changed, but the influence of the body is fixed and everpresent.
Food has a vital effect upon our bodies. The scope of its influence
upon our brains, the extent to which it governs our actions and its re-
sponsibihty for crimes and mental disorders form a subject of extreme
Importance. This relates not merely to acts of violence which we arr
now experiencing, but to economic conditions wherein one mar preys
upon his fenow-man.
In the flesh of animals there are three poaons-carbondyoxde toxin
and uric acd-that are constantly being produced in the system and
given off. When the animal is killed the process of passing off the
poisons instantly ceases and the amount on hand remains in the flesh.
There must be considered also the effect of the animals mental and nerv-
GUS condition. 1t may have been racing about with others of its kind,
excited or panc-strcken in chase. 1t may have been carried on long rail-
road journeys. 1t may have been quivering with rage, hatred or fear in
the slaughterhouse. At all events it was not in a composed normal state
at the time of death.
This condition of the animals mind and passions reacts on the flesh,
produces a chemical change and stamps its mark in the tissues. People
eat this meat. Unquestionably they absorb with it the posons and the
animalism from whence it came, and their minds and their actions must
be affected by it.
I do not wonder that waves of crime occur more frequently in the
when such habits and customs prevail. Vegetarians assert that
no follower of their regime ever committed a violent crime. Unfortunate
ly there are no statistics on the subject. 1t would be interesting to know
what was the customary diet of noted criminals. What, for example, did
Harry Thaw eat and drink before killing Stanford White? I think it
would be found that most murderers have been heavy flesh eaters.
Suppose you knew two men, one of whom ate large quantities of
meat and drank alcohol in summer; The other dined temporarily on pro-
told nuts, unfred crackers, salad and fruits. Which man would you
trust with your money?
many of them looking into a mans record inquire about his diet? Yet
that is a most important factor governing his course of life.
We are making progress in finding out the effect of different kinds
of food on the body and are learning how to eat properly in order to keep
well. But the question of foods effect on the mind and the responsible
iy Of fesheating for crime are fields too Little explored.

economical spending. One who lives from hand to mouth does not learn
perspective. We shall, therefore, often find the most thrifty housewives
in the homes of the rich. Yet we all know that many a maj Of limited
means pays the bills for provisions at the end of the month, knowing
that the cost of the materials provided has never been considered. The
wife has ordered by telephone, without inquiry as to cost, and quantity
and price have been left to the dealer. When the cook asked for more
she ordered again.
"My mother does not need to know arithmetic" said a young girl in
the grammar school, "te MAJ who sells to her knows arithmetic" So
he does; and until her knowledge of arithmetic, and the values with
waste in the kitchen.
Again the most anxious buyer, unframed as to the values of the
materials which she is buying may fail because she buys without regard
to the nutritive value of foods. She may buy something because it is
cheap, when the more expensive and more nutritious food would be more
economical. Or she buys the high-priced steak because she thinks her
family needs it when a cheaper piece of meat, properly cooked, would
prove of equal value. The purpose of food is obviously to feed the
family. Her problem should be to feed them best at the least cost.
She must provide the essential materials, in attractive and paatabe
forms, and at the least possible price.
Of course, then. she must understand cooking a well as marketing.
Otherwise her wisdom in buying is brought to naught over the kitchen
fire. The French housewife buys exactly enough of the suitable ma
terias for each meal and combines the materials with rare daintness and
skill. The American usually buys abundance, serves the quantity in
clumsy fashion, becomes tired of the repeated appearance of the roast,
throws the spoiled remnant away and buys a fresh stock to be served in
the same way. Here is great waste. Expensive materials, in large guam
titles, ignorantly treated, swell the bills for food. Thrift buys just
enough, at the right season and serves it in the most attractive manner.
Economy and intelligence in the kitchen double the workingman's
income and maintain the health of the family. The lesson il needed in the
home of the rich and poor alike. We shall learn by and by to expect such
intelligence and ability to be one pro-
duct of our muchlauded system of
education.

IL waste that is preventable is Of course unnecessary. The
chief agent of prevention is intelligence, since the chief cause
of the waste is ignorance. At present, in our American kitch-
ems, we must confess that there is an extreme amount Of
waste, which will probably continue until American women
are taught to spend wisely, and are trained in the intelligent
management of household affairs.
In the homes of the "well-to-do' we are likely to find
more careful expenditures than in many families where the

SUSPECT UNDER ARREST
Police Find One Whom They Believe
to Be Assailant and Robber
of Mike Musiia.

In searching the old smelters at Muir
ray last night in the hope of finding
Joe Sullivan and Garcia, the Mexican,
who are wanted for the murder of Pc
hceman Ford, Policemen Kast and
Harris found an Austrian hidden in the
abandoned Silver Horn smelter whom
they believe to be Priza, the Austrian
bandit, wanted for stabbing and rob-
bling Mike Musija. an emplOye of the
Garfield smelter. last Thursday night,
near the Washington saloon, 12l South
Third West street.
The man gave another name and de-
MED that he was the much-wanted
PriZa. but the policemen say that he
answers the description of the Austrian
ruffian. He was taken To the Murray
jail ana an effort will be made today
TO have him identified.
While the policemen were walking
through the Silver Horn smelter. their
attention was attracted by a light. 1t
led them to where some steps descend
ed TO a secluded retreat in which a fire
had been kindIed. There close to the
fire. lay the Austrian. He had a
weeks growth of beard upon his face
and had the appearance of one who
had been for some days in hiding.
If he turns out to be Priza, he will
be brought to Salt Lake and charged
with TObbing and attempting 10 muir
der Musija. 1t is possible that the pO-
licemen we're mistaken and that the
man was some poor wayfsrer who
crept into the old smelter for shelter.
