question contained in your letter,
permit me to point out they do not
relate to matters concerning which
the American Commissioners stated
that the acceptance Of our proposals

Conferences. The American COM

to their proposal touching Gu

respect Of the other matters referred
to, they expressed their readiness to
"treat" !, in case the Spanish Commis
sioners should remove tbhe obstacle
to so doing by a definite and final
acceptance Of the proposal above
mentioned the refusal of which
would render the conferences in
continuance of the preferences in

"In Dowlais, South Wales, about fif-

affected.
"The doctors did their best, but
heir remedies were Of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried a drug

ais remarkable cures. People came

for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as a last resort
they were advised by a friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. / am glad to

In a thickly settled prairie district
not far from Moose Jaw, a few Cana

product OF Which they sold to the sur
rounding farmers. Settlers would
come in wagons and sleighs and load
their own winter fuel. which cost them
from 81 to 81 a ton, according to the
run: 1t was early winter when 1 first
made the acquaintance of this mine
and its remarkable ''superintendent.'

IS an error, unless we lived on them alone
Tor weeks and months, which no one Is
likely to do. But with the addition of
nuts, whole wheat bread, nut butter and
one or two other articles of diet, q person
can live indefinitely and maintain perfect
health and strength. In fact, whole colo
mics of people are actually doing so in CAL
ifornia. They live on uncooked fruit and
nuts alone. Professor Jaffa, of the Uni
versity of California, examined several Of
these families and found them to be in
good physical condition and remarkably
free from disease. His report is to be
found in the United States department of
agriculture bulletins. Fruits should form
at least the staple foods during the sum-
mer. On them we can keep cool, happy
and healthy.
Next to these we should eat salads with
some simple dressing, whole wheat bread,
nut putter and simple nonproteld Vege-
ables. Plenty of water should be taken,
but not at meals. lemonade is a splendid
drink and should he freely INDUCED in

In addition to this meals should not be

Hereward Darlington, in New York

.saia 5a4.t WOrlu.
1t is said that New York is as hot in
summer as Calcutta. only the humidity is
greater in one place than in the other.
That is makes Calcutta SO trying.
Still, new iork-or any great metropolis
is trying enough in the summer time: and
most people seem anxious enough to get
away from it. I believe it is quite possi-
BILE to live in the city in comparative COM
fort If the following plan be tried:
The chief reason for our feeling hot in
summer is that we eat the wrong kind of
food. These wrong foods make us hot.
Men who live in the tropics do one of two
things. They eat as they have been ac-
customed to (as most Englishmen do in
India), and in that case they break down
in health and are compelled to retire at
the end of a few years, or they adapt their
diet to the climate and continue to live in
comfort. The natives of the tropics do
not suffer m the same way; and this is
chiefly because of the fact that they live
on the foods proper for that climate. So
1t would be well for us to see what they
live upon and to follow their example
somewhat for a few months in the sum
mer time.
Fats, sugars, ~starches, etc, are said tic
be the chief heat forming substances In
the body. They create and maintain Its
heat. They are burnt up. like coal in a
stove. Assuming this true for the moment

most avoided in the summer time. II
eaten they should be eaten only sparing-
ly and in limited quantities.
Meat is known to be a particularly heat
forming food. Even in winter time it is
a dangerous article for diet; and in the
summer it should be eaten most sparingly
and carefully. Peas, beans, cheese and
kindred foods are also heat forming
Hence to be eaten with great care.

SEVENTY MILES AN HOUR.

Threw hlngs.
Automobile maniacs Of all sorts, from
the owner Of a runabout to the tiend with
the six-cylinder giant, will find great
pleasure in an article called 1.-The Speed
King" in Hampton's Magazine. 1t de-
tails all the experiences of the famous
contemporaneous racers, the
drivers and ~mechanicians, their peculiari-
ties and the risks they run.
OF George Robertson, the we'll known
driver, the following anecdote is told:
1t happened in the famous back
stretch of the Merrimac Valley course.
Robertson held the lead by a slight mar
gin and was pushing his engine to the
limit. Just as the car rushed into an UNI
f~requented and very rutty section of the
circuit, something happened. To quote
Robertson:
I'VE were making 70 miles an hour
when suddenly l heard a crack. The next
second 1 fell through to the floor Of the
car. The seat had broken under me.
There I lay with my hands on the wheel
and my feet sticking up in the air. l
could not see the road in front of me, and
did not know where the car was going.
Just before Glenn Ethr.dge, my mechani-
clan, grabbed me by the shoulders and
pulled me VI. the car tilted perceptibly.
1t almost tipped over. I tell you, I thought
we were goners!
mo, I haven't said anything about 1t.
Why should II"
Smiling George" they call him.. and his
sunny countenance certainly bears out
the nickname. Robertson is a big, solid,
good-looking youth, who gives the impress
sion that nothing could move him. He
fairly radiates vitality. In everyday life
he is an easy-going, merry, careless chap.
In a race he Is another man. AT times
he acts like a maniac. He has been known
to strike the men in the repair pits when
they did not work fast enough to suit
him. On the road he is absolutely fear
less. TIL other drivers turn OUT for
i'm. On more than one occasion, Robert
son has scraped the paint off a car that
was slow in giving him leeway.
A story is told of Robinson's behavior
during the Briarcliff race. It was said
that he had hurled a monkey wrench at
another driver who deliberately tried to
block HIM. When Robertson was asked
about this he appeared highly incensed.
Honestly, do you think I'd throw my
wrench at anyone? Why, it's absurd.
Suppose 1 should need that wrench during
the race. If 1 threw anything I threw
spare nuts"

how severe the illness the medical

call on a medical practitioner and
never hesitate to submit themselves
to a thorough physical examination.
