TWO SECONDS FOR LUNCH.
One Meal Can BE Made of Tablets Of
Concentrated Food.

\ plausible notion cherished bv

The idea Of subsisting entirely on
nothing but tablets Of concentrated
food is Of course utterly fsHaeious. as
the London Lancet points out. and
plainly opposed to sound physiological
teaching. For breakfast and for the
evening meal we must content our
selves with food served i'm the good old

five minutes or SO.
There IS no danger that mankind viii
ever take entirely TO tabloid foods
Such a dietetc cOHsummatiou. the Lancet
says. would probably END in the extinc-
sion OF the human race by disease as p

HYpERBoLIc HEARST.

M R. WILLIAM r. HEARST, with the aid
4 of his doughty penmen who know how
to write has placed William Jennings Bryan in
the Shorter and uglier' class. 10 further his
idea that the only salvation for the country is a
party of his making, he has successfully planted
the metaphoric hooks into all of the aspirants for
four years tenure in the white mansion at
Washington
I'm 1904" Mr. Hearst says on the front page
OF his paper "one James Campbell, OF Pittsburg
a glass worker, was present at a meeting of
congressional committee who were hearing the
paints of the Window Glass Manufacturers AS
sociation AT this hearing Mr. Bryan, then
member of the Ways and Means Committee, is
alleged to have declared that manufacturers
were robbers" and "worlingmen were public
beggars" The other day story was sent out
that Taft had once declared that one dollar a day
was sufficient pay for worSingman, which, of
course, was absurd, as Taft had never made such
remark.
The new story is a slap at the labor leaders
who have promised their support to the Demo
cratic nominee. AS far as the Republican nomi-
nee is concerned, he appears to be getting 'hisn"
from the hyperbolic word wresters in Mr..
Hearsts employ.
Aside from the back page editorials of the
Hearst publication it would appear that the peo-
pie are considering not only the candidates of the
two great PARTIES but issues of more than ordi-
nary importance in the platforms behind them.
The Independence party, which is really the
result of the vauting ambition of man who
never plodded or earned his bread is not taken
seriously anywhere Mr. Hearst's "hred" ideas

ROBBERS IN SUBURBAN DISTRICTS

F OR months past the residents OF suburban
Il regions around Wilmington have been the
victims Of prowing thieves who have been doing
pretty much as they pleased. Robbery has fol-
lowed robbery; houses have been broken into,
chicken roosts looted of valuable fowls until
those who live in the outlying districts have be-
come thoroughly alarmed
The fact that there does not seem to be ade-
quate protection against thieves in these dis
tricts has been a serious drawback to suburban
life. The difficulty appears to be in applying
remedy Occasionally the authorities run down
some of the marauders but it is evident that the
present method of dealing with the trouble will
not bring about a satisfactory solution. If few
OF the offenders when caught were severely pun
ished it might lessen the thievery.
The residents themselves OF the suburban dis
tricts do not know how to suppress these crimes
Even rural police would not stop the stealing,
because of the large area that such police would
have 10 cover. Constables and State detectives
OF course, cannot break up the practice.
1t is safe to say that thousands of dollars
worth OF property of various kinds has been
stolen during the last six months from the
suburban residents Any suggestions as to how
TO apply adequate protection no doubt would be
gratefully received by the sufferers from these
marauders.
