Intended for all who wish by proper eating to increase their brain power, health and energy, It is a complete explanation of the new theories In nu- triton with practical suggestions as to their application In daily ifo."
 The author presents no new theory but offers in concise form and in lan- guage free from technicallties, popu- lar summary of tho information neces- sary for the practical application of the new principles of nutrition advanced by Messrs. Fletcher, Chittenden, Fisher and others He Is a pioneer only in that he presents the subject 'as private person who has tested tho merits of the system in his own life and found 1t good" He appears therefore as disciple of the noted men named and to bear testimony to the soundness of their theories on the subject in question The author says of his personal experience and test of these theories:
 Tn his flfty-fourth year. he felt that he was ageing rapidly. going painfully | down the wrong side of the hill of life and giving up one by one all the pleas ures that had made life attractive to him. He had lost his power to work, his enjoyment of social pleasures and all his interest in intellectual pursuits He suffered from intense pain which ! he took to be muscular rheumatism, and at times from a mild form of aphasia. Ills one object was to get done with his necessary work as rapid ly as possible and 30 to bed Some times he was 80 overcome with weak ness, dizziness and fatigue In the mid de of the day that he was forced to go to his club and lie down for an hour or SO before he could go on with his work
 ." "Today he is in better health than he has enjoyed since a boy and feels at-barring accidents-he should live to be hundred"
 For this gratifying change the au- thor adds. he has 10 thank the new system of diet described in this book. All of this method of reform, requires no consultation of specialists, no change of climate, no release from daily work; it Is a mere matter Of get ting and applying certain easily un- derstood information"
 The author proceeds with this salu- Itatory and introduction, to prevent lin simplihed form gathered from the sources mentioned the needed informa- ton and hopes" that the work will prove a boon to many. rhe princl- Iples advanced are certainly wise. sound and hygienic and the book ought to be a help to many who need the reforms in question

to the teeth. Great herds of cattle, renegade cattle stealers, horse stealers and other outlaws. lynching scene with the wretch, Sin Killer Jones, a rascally exhorter, awaiting his doom at the hands of maddened mob, and other stirring scenes, while through the current of the tale runs a story of true love of "The Cowboy Cavalier" re- warded at last. The heroine is a north ern girl, daughter of "the leading law yer of New York" and she comes to the Lone Star state to make visit with her Uncle Dan, a wealthy and jolly ranch owner and his lively family.
 Now, Marian Luce Is q strikingly comedy, refined and fascinating. young lady and her advent into Texan life fifty miles away from the nearest city creates big sensation among the cowboys, who with one accord admire her and wonder who will be the man lucky enough to win her.
 The house of the Luces (Unele Dans) covered nearly as much ground space as a New York block and 1t was very delightful to see this wide rambling domicle. It was surrounded by broad fields upon which grazed innumerable cattle, and in the distance could be seen the winding Colorado river, bor- dered by many trees and the fragrant Algeria bushes. A large pecan tree in front of the house gave most grate- ful shade"
 It was here and hereabouts that Marian spent many weeks, mostly hap py ones. but varied by trying and per ilous situations which befell her The Cowboy Cavalier" appears to great advantage in rescuing Marian from danger and it Is later on seen that though the course of true love did not run smooth there was joy at last for the gallant and patient lover and again the old adage came true, this time in Marian's case, that if one drinks but lrop of the water of the Colorado river, no matter how far one wanders, he must return to Texas, there to stay.
 This, the authors first book, though lacking in unity and originality of plot, will nevertheless grip and hold the readers attention throughout. The author does well also in selecting her own land as the scene of her first novel instead of scenes in foreign lands familiar to her in her extended travels in the old world The book has many striking and apt illustrations, mum Der of which are by her brother, Capt. Sammy Morse, of Yale football fame, who is the authors brother.

PEOPLE AND PROBLEMS. A collec-
 tion of addresses and editorials. By
 Fabian Franklin, New York Pub
 lished by Henry Holt & Co.,, New
 York, 1908.
 MT. Franklin was editor of the Bal timore News from 1895 until the pres ent year, when the paper came under the control of Frank Munsey He was formerly professor of mathematics at John Hopkins. This Collection of Ad- dresses and Editorials embraces wide range of topics. The editorial arti- cles are selected from his work in the columns of the News, and are all upon subjects that were of more than pass ing consequence In the political, social, or economic history of the country. Though editarial comment dpon past events and issues usually lose their edge and interest as time wings its way onward these are for the most part not of that transient type. They treat of events and issues In the main that are historical like the late Grover Cleve- lands Venezuela message, the outcome of the Dreyfus affair, or the temper ance campaign which is with us, espe- cially in the south today more than ever. President Roosevet's message sent to congress last February is one of the subjects and the great Balti- more fire another The Ballamy Uto- pia and "Ibsenism and Truth" are also In the list. Moreover the editorials are conspicuously characterized by cer- tainty and clearness of expression and a wholesome fearlessness that are re- freshing and worthy of writer With a mathematical training who has achieved prominence as a present day star in the mathematical field of en- quiry. The articles "Why Some Hon est People Are Not Prohibtionsts," t" England and the Boer War" Gov ernment by Crusade" "Bryans Run for the Presidency in 1896, are all of unusual excellence. There are also several addresses delivered before the students and alumni of Johns Hopkins. The book therefore has a permanent value and the more so as the com ments are wise sane, level-headed and temperate The editorials are worthy of comparison with the best found in our leading journals and as the work of an able exponent of journalism and for their intrinsic merit is so well that this readable volume has been brought out

Pemberton. Published by Harper x
 Brothers, New York. S1.50; at Judd's.
 This is charming and really fas- cinating tale of the eighteenth cen tury, and, as the author we'll describes 1t on his title page, is Some pages from the life story of Sir Richard Escombe, Bart, particularly concern ing his relations with the notorious Society of St Francis, as founded at Medmenham Abbey, on the River Thames, by Sir Francis Dashwood and John Wilkes; of the manner in which he brought that society to an end; also of his relations with Kitty Dulcimore, of Sherbourne, in the county of Warwickshire; of the mis- fortune which befell him when he drew her name in the lottery; of his subsequent service at Windsor castle --the whole giving true account of certain social practices In the reign of George II. and of a club but ill., remembered in the present day, though entitled to perpetual oboquy."
 Among the members of this society were William Whitehead, poet laure- ate, and Frederick Lord Harborne, q rascally voluptuary. One of the rules of these burlesque Franciscans was that man must die or marry any woman whose good name he de- tended. Inasmuch as only women of notorious character were ever named here, the marriage demanded was merely mock ritual, celebrated with burlesque of religious ceremonial.
 Sir Richard Escombe, a brilliant and daredevil Irish baronet, during his absence in France has had price set upon his head as suspected Ja- cobte. He boldly returns, partly to clear his name, partly to see Kitty Dulcimore Blundering into the Dull cimore country house, he finds it oc- cupied by some of Lord Harbornes s officers, who, in drunken jest, have put Kitty's name in lottery. Who- ever draws it Is pledged to marry her. The winning ticket Is cunningly thrust into Dicks unwilling hand just at the moment that Kitty enters. She demands an explanation, which he cannot give and the lovers part in anger, LICK rlueS to NlHuSoT, dHu, vindicating himself, is made captain of the guards by George Il. Three months later Honor Marwood, a dis carded mistress of Harbornes and still in his pay, informs him that Kitty is to be married next day to Harborne. Forgetting his duty, Dick flies to Harborne's London residence, Nnrthl1n nbarlnnd House On the way he is piled with liquor by two of Har- borne's hirelings, and on reaching Northumberland House he drinks 6
