Savaues In Civilization.

Civilization does not change pas
sion. The savage lives. Nothing
alters the elemental emotions. Love
changes to jealousy, jealousy to hate
and hate to murder as swiftly and
ruthlessly on some quiet little back
street of small homes or on some wide
and respectable thoroughfare as In the
Jungle. No savage land has more
murders than parts of our cities and
states.
The customs, the restraints and the
outer veneer of civilization perpetual
" deceive. Men and women, particu-
larry women, look on life as a mere
merry dance, in which partners can
be leased by a change and changed at
a whim. But man remains, even more
than woman, under the guise and dis
guises of civilization, the elemental
savage whose passions boil to love or
death at touch.-Philadelphia Press.

The first printing press in the
United States west OF the Missouri

last century. History does not dis
close the date of its origin or its own
ership, but there are extant printed
proclamations dated 1921 and having
the Santa Fe imprint antedating by
IA years the first newspaper Ell Gre.
pusculo, prophetically named the
Dawn, which was first published In
1885 at Taos and was in the main
periodical tract to make propaganda
for the peculiar religious and moral
ideas of Padre Martinez The first
English newspaper in New Mexico ap-
peared in 1S47, shortly after the occu-
ration of Santa Fe by Gen. Kearny.
They were the Santa Fe Republican
and the Santa Fe New Mexican, both

Il would seem that the obvious an
swer to the question. Why do you
eat? Is, because | am hungry" Yet
one who habltually eats too much can
not be hungry. The desire for food
arises frequently from that gnawing
sensation resulting from the fer
mentatlon OF superfluous food, pro-
ducing n condition OF auto-intoxica-
ton. In fasting there is an almost
irresistible desire for food the FIRST
two or three days; then the appetite
leaves one for several days; there Is q
gain in strength with loss In weight;
and when a distinct desire for food
returns II Is a natural hunger. eaSily
satisfied; but this natural appetite In
many cases. does not come for 30 days
or more, showing that the former ap-
petite was unnatural.

With all due allowance for the fact

II is true that there is a science OF

appetite should be to some extent
guided by reason. Certainly one
should eat because he enjoys 1t, but
also, whether he be an athlete. Ia

and because health depends upon food
more than upon anything else except
pure air, pure water, and right think
ing which is fundamental.

WHAT DO YOU
EAT AND WHY?

II eat what like" would be the
answer Of the average person scan
ming the bill Of fare in the average
restaurant. And to eat what you like
because you like II, is the best pos
sible reason. To eat what one doesn't
like Is good for nobody. II has been
shown In the laboratory that "appe-
lite Juice" Is the first requirement for
good digestion.
Animals in their natural state never
eat when they are not hungry, and
they never eat what they don't like;
and this together with abundance OF
fresh air, water, exercise and normal
mental conditions. inhibits sickness,
except by accident, while man is al.
ways ailing more or less. And the
chief cause Of all the ailments, not
mechanical or mental, to which flesh
is heir, is wrong eating.
1t is generally admitted that most
sickness. temporary and chronic,
originates in the arrangement Of the
digestive system; auto-intoxication,
that is, self-polsoning. induced by alb
sorbing into the blood the poisons
produced in the food tube by fermen.
tation resulting from eating too much,
from hurried eating, from eating too
many kinds Of food at the same meal.
Many of the most advanced students
Of the cause OF disease now believe
that the one cause is the retaining OF
waste matter in the system, which Is
0 necessary result OF wrong feeding
or course these abnormal conditions
nre traceable, in the last analysis, to
wrong thinking, and they can be set
right only by changing the thought.
And It is a happy sign Of the times
that the study of the food question Is
receiving so much attention.
II eat what l can Get" This would
be the answer of many an unfortun-
ate; but whether his case Is worse
than that of him who can get what he
wants to eat, is doubtful. Is the for
eigner who comes to America and
changes his diet from black bread, a
few vegetables, apples and grapes to
an abundance of highly-seasoned
foods, meat, fine white bread, pickles
and pie-is he fortunate, In the mat
ter OF diet? The statistics say, No.
II is q peculiarly interesting fact that
the mortality from cancer is much
higher among foreign-born Germans,
Irish and some other nationalities in
this country than among the Ameri'
can born of those races. Cancer, In
the opinion Of the late DR.. Nicholas
Sem and other eminent authorities,
Is q disease of over-indulgence, and,
we believe indulgence in flesh meat.
The Italians, Greeks, Bohemians and
others who continue to live on the
simple diet of their home countries
show low rate Of death from these
diseases. The foreign-born Irish and
German peasants sooner fall victims
to cancer and tuberculosis when they
adopt the extravagant mixed diet OF
the average American family, because
they are more susceptible than those
who have become habituated, to GER
tain degree, to the more extravagant
diet of the new country.
It has been said that we are ma
ton Of dyspeptics, and the cause is
easily found. Certainly, the natural
way Is to eat what one likes. But,
