PEOPLE cHoULD EAT MORE FAT.
So the Lancet Of London Says--Praise
for the Suet Pudding.

The London Lancet condemns the
modern tendency 1t discovers TO ex-
clude the, fatty portions OF animal
foods from the ordinary diet.
Every piece Of fat" says the
Lancet, rs carefully cut on slices OF
ham, mutton and beef. and only the
lean parts are eaten. Indeed. for
some unaccountable reason. the eat
ing of fat is regarded by not a few
people as positively vulgar.
"Such an attitude, of course, dis
plays ignorance Of physiological facts.
Many minor ills Of the body would
be avoided II only care was taken to
include sufficiency Of fat In the diet.
THE introduction Of the old-fash-
Toned suet pudding into the diet Is In
perfect accordance with scientific
teaching and, from dietetic point
Of view, especially In the feeding Of
young and growing people, it does a
really beneficial service to the coun
try"

II is related that one William Rider,
a London apprentice, happening to see
pair Of knit stockings at the house
Of an Italian merchant from Mantua.
made pair like them, the first made
In England, which he presented to the
earl of Pembroke, 1864. The art Of
weaving stockings In frame was In.
vented in England by the Rev. Mr..
Lee of Cambridge In 1889, Is years
after he had learned to knit them
with needles. Cotton stockings were
first made In 1880. The ancients wore
cloth about their feet and legs, and In
modern Europe cloth hose were In use
for generations before knit hose were
known.--N. Y. American.

WORLDS TRIBUTE 70 GENIUS,
Why All Nations Should Unite In Me-
por'aI to Shakespeare.

The towering obelisk by the Poto-
mac, the graceful arch at the foot OF
Fifth avenue and the innumerable
other memorials OF Washington all
over the land do not and cannot add
one jot or title to the fame OF Wash
ington. but they do impressively set
forth the mind Of the American people
toward him, declares the New York
Tribune. So this proposed memorial
to Shakespeare in London cannot IN
an infinitesimal degree enhance the
fame of the worlds supreme poetical
genius. 1t is not for a moment in
tended that 1t shall. But 1t will be Z
concrete and enduring reminder OF the
reverence with which the world re-
CARDS him-reflexively really a memo
rial OF the world rather than of Shake
-speare.
We hope that It will be built, that
It will be finished in time-there will
80 eight years from next month be-
fore the tercentenary Of his death
and that in mingled beauty and majes-
ty of design and In integrity OF con-
struction 1t will be as nearly worthy
OF its subject as the munilcence, the
genius, and the industry Of men can
make 1t. 1t is fitting that the move
ment should be organized. started and
directed In England, and 1t is newt
able that its chief promotion will
come from the English speaking ma
tons, but we should certainly hope
and confidently expect to see every
literate people on the face Of the globe
spontaneously contribute to a work
which is more universal In its appeal
than any other of the kind which the
world has known.

Dear Sir: Todd & Downing, con-

La, have painted Devoe for three or
four years. They say 1t takes less gal
Ions Devoe than Of any other paint
they have used. That means that a
Job costs less with Devoe; not only
for paint, for labor as well.
They paint nothing else, Devoe ex.
clusively.
They have said nothing about the
comparative wear Of Devee and others

for that. But Devoe Is the strongest

and his administration were earnestly
Endorsed ann upheld; the Taft and

unanimous enthusiasm Governor
Proctor and his record as governor of
Vermont came In for the biggest

pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water

effects following use Of liquor, wine or

cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest

AS an example Of the adaptability,
omnivorousncss and dcstructivcness
Of this pest DR.. Chalmcttc recitcs the
invasion Of an island in The estuary
Of the Humber, once green with grass
and up to fifteen years ago capable
or giving sustcnancc to 5000 head of
cattle. The island, which is half a
mile fom the nearest shore, has not
vcrdue enough today to feed rab-
bit, and is so honcycombed that it
has become irrcclaimablc by cultiva-
tion. On one Of the channel islands
where nothing grows but few ferns
and mosses it was found that the
rats infcsting it had taken to a diet
Of crabs. The crustaceans, when
caught, were made harmless and help
less by the amp,/ation Of their shears
and legs.
What s to be done with an animal
that can live anywhere and subsist on
anything. from chicken to chicory
roots? When driven from our homes
and warehouses the c.asc will have
to be taken up in sewers, wharvcs and
the holds OF ships. The migatory
raj will have to be pursued in field
and water up to the northern ice cup.
No outlying island nor rock in the
sea may be left unscarchcd, and.
when every nook and corner of the
civilized world shall have been clear
cd ct this vcrmln, who knows but an
other swarm from Persia may not re-
quirc Il beginning Of the hunt all
over again? But something must be
done lest the sewer rat be left the
sole mhcritor Of the earth, all other
animals, including the human race,
having been eaten out of house and
home. Seriously speaking, the migra-
tory rat is an expensive luxury as
we'll as a menace; and civilization
must rid itself of this parasite and
disease carrier at ouy price. The
cost of worldwide campaign against
it could not be greater than The mil
lions of wealth it annually steals and
consumes.
