THREE SENSIBLE MEALS.
sDr. Latson Suggests Diet for Average
Man I'm All walks Of Life.

There IS no ideal diet; and if there was.
Il would not fit the very unIdeal men and
women in the world to-day, says Dr. w.
RI c. LatsOn. The object of feeding is
TO give the body materials out Of which
TO build and sustain itself. This il will
do on vegetarian diet on raw diet, or
any diet if that diet-and here's the
point-if that diet be simple in selection,
moderate in quantity, and taken under
proper conditions.
A breakfast Of fruit. cereal with cream,
brown bread and butter. and a glass of
milk viii fulfill any requirement Or a
morning meal Of two raw eggs, beaten
up with milk, together with fruit and one
or two slices OF brown bread-such a meal
is equally nutritious and palatable.
For dinner, fresh meat. roast or boiled
baked potato, plain salad dressed with
olive oil and a few drops of lemon juice;
perhaps another cooked vegetable, such
as tuTnips. spinach or parsnips: fruit.
and brown bread viii prove in every
sense a wholesome and acceptable meal.
The third meal If such be taken. may
be similar TO breakfast. or it may consist
of merely fresh fruit and a glass of milk
with perhaps a cracker or d bit of bread
These meals are not all vegetarian or
all raw. or all fruit; but they are simple.
they are moderate, and if taken IN prop
er quantity. they win solve the question
Of diet. so far as it is ever likely to be
solved by erTing man.

SCHOOL AT SING SING.
i Liberal Education for Convicts at
Home.

Fror. Iesle's Weekly.
There are twelve classes from that IN
elementary English, for the benefit chief
ly Of foreigners, up to the highest class,
which studies history, civics, and science.
Among the other subjects treated are
spelling. writing, punctuation. geography.

Some Of the interesting subjects Of talks
and lectures are Ethics Of Success,
Achievement" and Patriotism"
Participation in The school work does
not relieve the men OF the hard labor
which goes with their sentences. The
school day lasts from 7:45 a. IN. to P. m,
and each class is in session for an
hour and a quarter. Each pupil. there
fore. is in the school room only one hour
and fifteen minutes a day. Some convicts
who care nothing about education, and
others who do not require the elementary
training given in the school. nevertheless
wish TO enter the classes IN order 10
avoid work. Such aspirants are quickly
detected and expelled from the classes.
There are sos enrolled pupils out of the
200 and more prisoners in Sing sing
and about 100 are on the waiting list 10
be admitted as soon as room can be made
for them. Nearly fC00 men have passed
through the school since il was started
some Of them taking the whole course Of
study. Some Of these men have left Sing
Sing with a good knowledge Of English
and arithmetic. and some acquaintance
with history and geography, who knew
nothing of any of these subjects when
they began to serve their sentences. The
result FOR which Mr. Helfer and the
warden strive IS 10 teach the foreigners,

never satisfied with the modern, and
especially the trivial modern of which the
current drama is so largely composed.
Il do not claim to know Shakespeare
intimately. These great works have never
appealed to me strongly for my own
uses. The modern appeals 10 me much
more strongly than the ancient or
medieval. There can be nothing so vital
to the people and to the thought Of the
present day rs the passions the tragedies,
and the beauties Of the life about us,
although the form of expression is re-
strained TO meet the conventionalities of
the times
1T IS my belief that the great roper
torres of the great players of the future
viii be the plays of Shakespeare and of
Ibsen- Surely, there win be the Ibsen
repertoire Just as there is now the
Shakespeare repertoire.
Actors viii not be able to escape from
the spell of the Ibsen characters. They
fascinate, they lure YOU TO study, they
bring YOU closer 90 life.
Il wish we had a great theater for
lbsen. Think of being able to bring to-
gether "a band of players of equal rank
with the singers of the New York Grand
Opera Company, Call it a national the
ater, il you like. I shouldn't care what
it was called so long as we could organize
such company. Think where it would
place the United States in the world Of

No Good Performances.
AS things are nowadays in the thea
ter We never see "a really good dramatic
performance. I mean by that that always
there are one or more PLAYERS that are
not thoroughly fitted for their part-they
are out Of tune. No good conductor would
think of leading an orchestra in which
there was a single instrument out of
tune; he must and does have trained mu-
sicians, capable of giving the precise
value of every note in the score But in
our casts of to-day there is always at
least one actor out of tune"

SE.N1TOR D4 TLS SPEECH.

Last week. in the United States Senate, in favor of his antitrust bill, Senator Davis, the Junior Senator from Arkan- sas, delivered one of the strong est pleas for liberty and the rights of the people ever made in that body. It was strong ar .raignment of the gigantic trusts and monopolies of the nation, and an earnest and fervent ap- peal to the Senate in behalf of the people, yet a Washington correspondent to the Arkansas Gazette attempts to ridicule the speech, and says not a member of the Senate approach ed him to offer congratulations
 1t is the only set speech ev- CT given in the Senate, after which some member did not come forward to congratulate. y
 If the correspondent is not ly- ing. the reflection is worse on the members of the Senate than 1t is upon Senator Davis, for. to tell the truth, 1t was one of the best speeches ever delivered in that body, and onc that any man, who favors the people, rather than the greedy corpora tions, might well be proud of.
 It was through the magnani- mity f?1 of the Gazette, after Senator Davis or some of his friends had paid for its publica- ton, we suppose, as it was marked (advt) that the people were permitted to read the speech i'll full, in Saturdays is sue of that paper, and form their own conclusions as to its merit.
