work. Of course, there is now a well-defned
theory that everybody eats too much. and that we
all would be very much better off if we ate consid-
erably less than we do Very naturally, the first
person to turn to in discussion Of this character
would be DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, the governments
food expert. DR.. Wiley is himself very rotund,
round-faced sort of gentleman. He looks as
though he likes good food and eats great deal of
it. DR.. Wiley in talk which he gave several
reporters said that man can live on one per cent
OF his weight in dry food per day, and speaking of
DR.. Cook he said that the same thing
would hold good with the dogs he had with him.
DR.. Wiley further said that man who weighs $50
pounds and is doing light work and takes little
exercise every day requires 5000 calories. He
then explains that calory is unit of measure
ment of heat and is so distributed as to consist of
one-fourth of protein, one-fourth of fat and the
remaining one-half of starch or sugar. man
employed at hard labor requires 5000 calories,
while the man of sedentary habits needs but 1000
to $500 calories day. For instance, man who
works indoors does not have to withstand the cold
and naturally needs less food than the one fighting
cold and in the same way man in the tropics
needs less than man in very cold climate. He
then explained that the common sense way of
expressing it is that a man needs one per cent of
MS weight per day.
Five members of the supreme court majority
of the BENCH will have to seek reelection next
year. This is the first time since statehood that
majority of the bench has gone out of office at the
same time, and the circumstance is due to the fact
that the last legislature increased the membership
from seven to nine providing two extra justices to
be maintained next year when three, in the ordi-
nary course of events would go out. The five men
whose terms expire at the end of next year are:
Chief justice Frank H. Rudkin, Associate justices
Mark A. Fullerton M. F. Gose, George Morris and
Emmett N. Parker.

How much man is like old shoes!
For instance, both soul may lose
Both have been tanned both are made tight
By cobblers, both get left and right,
Both need mate tobe complete,
And both are made to go on feet,
They both need heeling, oft are sold,
And both in time turn all to mold
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be the last; and when
The shoes wear out they are mended new,
When men wear out they are men-dead, too.
They both are trod upon, and both
Will tread on others, nothing 10th;
Both have their ties and both incline,
When polished, in the world to shine
And both peg out-now, would you choose
To be man or be his shoes?
