Yawning.

There can be little doubt that
one of the objects of yawning is the
exercise of muscles which have been
for a long time quiescent and the
acceleration of the blood and lymph
flow which has in consequence OF
this quiescence become sluggish;
hence its frequency after one has
remained for some time in the same
position-e. g., when waking in the
morning. Cooperating with this
cause is sleepiness and the shallow
breathing which it entails. This
factor as well as muscle quiescence
is apt to attend the sense of bore
dom which one experiences in lis
tening to a dull sermon; hence 1t is
that the bored individual is apt to
yawn. As in the case OF signing,
the deep breath which accompanies
the act of yawning compensates for
the shallow breathing which is so
ant to excite it.-"Therapeutie AS

CONCENTRATED FOOD.
II Would Prove a Poor Diet and Dis
Aatroua to Humanity.

astrous to Humanity.
at is a notion fondly cherished
by some persons" writes a promi-
nent English physician in London
medical journal, Chat the day will
come when the human race will
subsist entirely on highly concen-
trated food. The time occupied in
eating the daily meals will be saved
by swallowing a tablet of concen-
trated essence, and all questions OF
fastidiousness for food will be ban
ished, while the dyspepsia arising
from an overbulky and hastily swal-
lowed meal will finally disappear.
"The idea is of course utterly
fallacious and plainly opposed to
sound physiological teaching. Such
dietetic consummation thus inno-
Gently entertained would probably
end in the extinction of the race by
disease as a sequence Of inanition.
The fact is that the volume of food
serves a definite purpose in the
body.
"Highly concentrated foods are
prone to be very irritating to the
digestive organs, and they also tend
to exhaust the secretory powers OF
the stomach, the digestive juices be-
ing poured out in a quantity far in
excess of the requirements of that
food, and thus secretory energy,
which is the key to assimilation, is
uselessly spent.
concentrated meat essences con-
tanning merely the extractives Of
meat are, for example, the most
powerful exciters of gastric secre-
ton that we possess, but when par
taken of exclusively they avail moth
ing in the direction of real nutri-
ton and lead most likely to serious
waste of tissue-in a word, to star
vstion.
s"They serve admirably, however,
as a kind of condiment or adiuvant
to food, preparing the ground for
its reception and digestion; hence
soup is the first item in the physio-
logically well designed meal. When
kept within reasonable limits the
bulkiness of food excites a healthy
stimulus to the muscular action OF
the stomach and the bowels, and al;
together the indications are plain
that the digestive organs are not
adapted for dealing with highly
concentrated food.
'Tood must have, so to speak, a
physiological ballast before it is ac-
ceptable to the digestive processes
The simplest way of reducing the
bulk of most foods is by depriving
them of their natural moisture.
Eight pounds of mutton or beef
would thus be reduced 10 Two
pounds of dry substance, but the
water must be replaced to a large
extent before the meat can be cook
ed or eaten.
"There are, of course, particular
cases, as, for example, in illness, IN
which it is necessary that the diet
should be sparing in quantity and
yet highly nutritious in quality, but
in health the use of concentrated
foods is physiologically absurd, II
not mischieyous. The time when
men will take for their meals and
be satisfied with as much concen-
trated food as will cover a three
penny piece can never be SO long
as the human mechanism is as 1t is
and physiological laws are ine1ora-
ble."

No attempt is made by President
Roosevelt or his friends to refute the
charge that he favors the presidential
candidacy of Secretary Taft and is
doing what he can consistently to
aid it. He does not attempt to con-
troll the political actions of federal
Office holders beyond insisting that
they shall not use their official posi-
tions to aid in the propaganda of can
didates. He evidently has little
sympathy with the idea that a man
forfeits his rights as a citizen when
be enters the government service. IL

A BANKER CRITICIZED

The Seattle Trade Register of Feb
ruary /, says that "Robert Moran. of
Moran Bros. Co., last week issued q
long "open letter to r. r. Spencer.
of the National Bank of Commerce, -
of decidedly spicy nature. which was
widely circulated by mail, and the
press entirely overlooked the news.
The bank was charged with refusing
to pay over money ordered paid by
the United States Treasury from. the
government deposit; spies were aileg-
ed to be employed to see where the
money went when paid. and charge
of "spiteful tattle" was made because
of refusal to change the Moran Bros.
Co.'S. account of 26 years with an
other bank. - This is pretty scath-
ing arraignment but no one who
knows Mr.. Moran will doubt that 1t is
we'll founded. The bank in question
is the largest in the state in point of
capitalization and volume of business
done, but it is hardly likely to main
tain that position long if the policy
which characterized the management
during the panic is continued. The
bank was for years the principal re-
serve agent in Seattle of the San Juan
County bank, which had quite large
sum on deposit there when the f1nan-
cial lid went on and the city banks
adopted the certificate system. The
flat refusal OF Mr.. Spencer to let the
president of the bank here have more
than $25. 90 of the banks funds was
what compelled the adoption of the
certificate system here. Without hav-
ing had his attention called to the
matter by any Of the banks officers
the editor has noticed that since the
lid came of the Seattle drafts of the
bank have been drawn upon another
institution. Arrogance doesn't pay

element has been victorious in a ma
jority of the local option elections he
declares that ''There is no evidence to
show that as the result of those cleo
tions single drop less of liquor is
consumed in those communities, nor
that single voter has changed his

This is rather striking assertion but
still more striking is the statement
that "despite this tremendous cam

years. the consumption of liquors in
this country has steadily increased
year by year, and that this growth
of consumption has been greater ia
