TOT thousand years the legend of

impulses OF the British heart; the
prlncely character of chivalry's unrest
Knight has been the mystic ideal of
the aspiring youth of England-be
Che great King who wore the white
mower OF blameless life and in his
character combined the courage Of
the lion with the purity of the
maiden.
But King Arthur of the Table
Round is hero Of romance and Of
poetry; he is not a real historical

line OF warriors and statesmen do we
nnd another man who better com
bined greatness and gentleness. no
man whose full-rOunded character is
more worthy of being held up as a
model for all the generations that
come after us, than that Of Robert
Edward Lee.
A hundred years have passed now
since his birth; and since his death
one generation of men and women
nave come into the world and lived
their day and died. We are able
then, to speak somewhat definitely
now OF the place that he shall hold i'm
hlstory-and the calm verdict of the
twentieth century, passion-cleared
and sober-minded, is voiced bv the
Chief Executive of the reunited Ma
ton in declaring Lee to be "the very
greatest of all the great captains that
the English-speaking people have
brought forth"
And yet there is no doubt but that
the great Confederate chieftain would
have cared less for this acknowledge
ment OF his geniuS-this RECOGNITION
OF him as the foremost military leader
In all the long centuries of Anglo
Saxon history-than for the now uni
Versal recognition of the moral
grandeur OF the man. And better
than. all, he is a Christian gentle
man, said Lee of Major Robert Stiles

self: Christian gentleman without
snow or pretense or cant or affecta-

tavern at Vermillion, Ill. Abraham Lin

recalled the stories which Lincoln used
to tell. and particularly his droll way
of talking.

Minneapolis, Feb. 3.-Coloraao may
be disappointed after all in the effort
to obtain custody of the person of
Frank Shercliffe, under sentence in
that state for murder. Just as the
Colorado sheriff and his deputy were
preparing to start west with their

refusal of the Minnesota officials to
surrender him. Governor johnson had
passed on the requisition of the Col

Sheriff Bonner, of Leadville, was pre-
pairing for the homeward trip, but 1t
was decided to refer the papers to the
attorney general of Minnesota, who
found flaws in the documents as drawn.
1t is said the Indictment and several
other instances in the progress of
Shercliffe's trial were not properly
cited.
There is rumor current that Col

tody of Shercliffe at ALL If not he will
be retired here again for the robbery

| Special to Times-Republican.
Clear Lake, Feb. S.-During the Sc
verely cold weather which followed last
weeks blizzard an interesting phe-
at varying intervals of several years,
ever since people first lived here, was
again in evidence. For a distance of
half a mile along the town shore, the
lake was open where the ice cutters
had been busy for several weeks. This
open strip was about one hundred
yards wide on an average. On the
morning after the blizzard the tenn
perature was many degrees below zero,
but the open strip was still open and
from it arose great clouds Of steam.
The water was a dark green color. and
entirely uninfluenced by cold hit
senoug.. to freeze it over in a very few
minutes under ordinary conditions. But
instead it rippled lightly in the breeze
and looked almost warm as compared
with the surrounding ice and snow
Many here hold the theory that the
warmer currents Of water held deep
near the bottom of the lake nearly all
winter and protected by the ice. were
at the time of the unusual atmospheric
disturbance of the storm sent shore
ward and to the open stretches, and
that these constantly renewed warm
currents of water therefore easily re-
sisted the frigid atmosphere. The phe
was one of unusual beauty
and strongly reminded the spectators
of a great boiling cauldon set in solid
ice and snow.

Dieting Is Harmful
Our Systems Demand Va
riety as Well as Quantity
of Food:
We MUST NOT S1ARyE STOMACH
Tells How Dieting Dries Up
Gastric Juice and Leads
Eventually to Chronic
Constipation

Inree reasons have recently been
advanced in support of the belief that
dieting is harmful.
First the digestive system employs
separate agent for the digestion
OF protelds, fats and starches While
normally these are all in constant
use, IN dieting some of them are nee
essar1ly idle. Nevertheless they are
secreted as usual for awhile and their
presence gives rising to that indetin-
able snaWing," or yearning for
something know not what.
rms gnaWing or empty stomach is
2 sign of partial starvation and should
pc appeased. If not stimulated the
glands which secret unused juices dry
up in the course of time; with the con-
sequence that it is difficult to get them
working properly again.
In the second place, after the food
mas been prepared for assimilation by
the digestive process and taken in
to the Emphatic system, the muscles,
thee bones the brain, the blood-each
demands its special nutriment. The
muscles demand proteids; the blood,
iron; the bones, lime; the brain,
phosphate-no one food or class of
! foods can supply them ALL 1t takes
a well-rounded diet to supply the hui
man body and keep it in normal con-
dftion, since an insufficiency of any
! one food element means starvation
for the bodily organs and functions
/. dependent upon it.
Again, for the third reason, dieting
causes constipation in this way. The
bowels are formed to respond to a
M ,S
accustomed to react to a given guam
tity of unassimilated matter. The
reason why graham bread often af-
fords relief from constipation is that
] it contains a large amount Of abrous
material which is not digested in the
stomach. but passes into the intestines
and in measure "irritates'' them to
activity. A person on a restricted
diet does not provide his intestines
, with a sufficient quantity of such
matter. Consequently the waste re-
mains in the intestines to ferment, pu-
trify and become genuinely poisonous. |
Variety of diet overcomes this, and
constitutes the only cure for chronic |
constipation.
On the other hand, for many peo-
/. pie it is impossible at times to eat a |
variety of food without great dis I
.dress. In such cases it is necessary I
to administer an alkaline elixir or neu
traliZing mixture to correct activity, I
stimulate the secretions, check the /
poisonSss.SSs fermentation and help the
stomach carry e,rssaa.sd duties
The following formula has been
suggested as providing a good neu-
Trailing cordial for the purpose: Half
ounce sodium phosphate, ounce es
sence of sealmint. half teaspoonful good
baking soda, enough water to make 8
ounces. Dose: Two teaspoonfuls be-
fore each meal.
This can be mixed up at home or
made up by any druggist. 1t ought
not to cost more than 60 or IS cents.
1T has been claimed that this mixture
will relieve gas Immediately and will
cure the worst case within two weeks,
by enabling the dyspeptic to give his
system the variety of food 1t demands

CORRECT oLEoMARGERINE LAW.
Bill is Introduced by Senator Penrose

of Pennsylvania.
Washington, Feb. 3-Senator Pen
rose of Pennsylvania has introduced
bill intended to correct alleged in
equalities of the present oleomargarine
law. 1t provides that butter shall not
be used in the manufacture of oleomar-
gerine, extends the penalty provided by
law to include partnerships and cor
porations and prohibits the treasury
department from compromising any vi
olations of the law
Oleomargerne manufacturers now
use small proportion of butter in
their products to give it color and un-
der the present law only individuals
can be prosecuted and the treasury
is permitted to compromise
cases at the discretion of the secretary.
The Penrose bill represents the attitude
of the friends Of the present law in
opposition to those who want the law
repealed. The attitude of the latter
is being represented in a bill introduced
by Representative Burleson last week.
