FASTING AT KEoKUK.

lkeOkuk Gate CHy1.
1t is not generally known, but it is
a fact nevertheless, that a number Of
Keokuk people of both sexes have
adopted Upton Sinclair's fasting fad as
q, remedy for all sorts of bodily ills,
real and imagined. The practice was
begun Immediately following the ap-
pearance of Sinclairs article on the
subject in one of the popular maya
zines Of the day, and it's votaries are
now numbered by the dozen in this
community. For the most part the
fasting is done unknown to friends and
the public. In one instance a husband
tasted unknown to his wife who was
away from home for time, and in
another case a wife followed Sinclair's
advice during the temporary absence
of her husband. 1t is a question IL
either absent marital partner yet
knows of the experience undergone by
the other half Of the firm"
There is nothing disgraceful or in
any way censurable in voluntary absti-
nence from food for a time in suitable
cases. Most people eat too much and
would enjoy better health if they ate
less or RETAINED from eating at all at
occasional intervals Fasting permits
the overworked digestive organs to OBJ
tain needed rest and recover their tone
and efficiency. In some forms of
stomach trouble, particularly in such
as are attended with too free secretion
as the result of long-continued irrita-
ton and debility. reduction of food to
the minimum, or still better in severe
cases entire abstinence from food is
necessary to a cure. "A stomach in this
condition will get we'll of itself if al
lowed sufficient period of rest. Prop
err medication will hasten recovery, but
medicine is powerless in the absence of
restricted diet.
Those who have practiced fasting for
periods Of varying lengths report that
very little discomfort is felt in conse-
quence. For the first few days there
is a sense of "goneness' but this can
readily be relieved by copous draughts
Of water. AS one experimenter ex-
planned, he found 1t easy to deceive
his stomach. When it demanded food
he filed it with water and it didn't
seem to know the difference Most
ness after fasting a week, ten days or
two weeks in different cases, but We're
surprised that it was no greater. In
few cases the experimenters claim to
be as strong at the end Of the fast as
at the beginning. OF course, too long
fast would inevitably be followed by
serious results. But within reasonable
limits fasting is a capital expedient for
keeping down the grocery and meat
bills!

THE DIFFERENCE.

There is considerable complaint
these days about the drinking in this
city. It is believed by many that
there is considerable of elicit dealing in
and drinking of beer and booze, and 1t
is evident that there is considerable in
difference to public sentiment against
the practice. 1t is reported frequent
ly that men are seen stepping into all
leys or around corners and taking good
long swigs from long brown bottles,
and it seems rather an audacious thing
to do to say the least. There is No
law against a man taking drink if he
comes by the liquor in a legitimate
manner, but there is such thing as a
mans making nuisance of himself
and this should not be permitted.

REGULATION OF DANCE HALLS.
[Cedar RanidS Ranuhlicanl

[Cedar Rapids Republican,.
During the past week Cedar Rapids
has had a somewhat unsavory revela-
ton of the evils of the public dance.
resulting in somewhat we'll and wide
defined desire for certain regulations
to be applied to such places of assem-
bly, There are some who go SO far as
TO believe the whole institution ought
10 be abolished. BY the public dance
we mean the dance that is merely for
hire, for so much head, or per coup
lie and to which all can come, or all
that can pay the price. In such places
many undesirable influences are bound
10 be eNerted, influences that right
thinking children should not come in
to contract with. Young people go to
such places and come out contaminat-
ed
But at the least it would seem that
regulations should be imposed as to
age. No mere children should be all
lowed to enter them. Minors are now
excluded from the saloons and even
from the pool halls, but pool halls are
Sunday schools compared with public
dancing halls. Boys and girls under
age should be prohibited and the con-
ductors OF such places should be made
10 bear the responsibility. when it
comes to age. If such a regulation is
enforced it will go far toward thinning
out the crowds in such places.

Senator Burtcn's dissent to the
rivers and harbors bill, carrying an
appropriation OF S52,OOO,OOO, is not in
our opinion to be ascribed TO %unfriend-
lisess TO the waterway improvements,
but on the contrary to a determination
to get started right and avoid errors in
preliminary legislation sure to prove
costly in the future.
The one great defect in the whole
plan thus far is that It contemplates a
gigantic construction work without
first organizing a construction de
partment to lay out the details in such
a way as 10 insure permanent bene-
fits and which, as Senator Newlands
says. will result in the coordination
OF the various scientific services Of the
government in the study and elabor-
alton Of plans and the cooperation Of
the states with the nation, each within
its jurisdiction, in carrying out those
plans" 1t is essential that haphazard
methods be avoided as much al grab
bag appropriations, and piecemeal
work.
Senator Burton's minority report re-
fleets a careful study of this question
in which the Ohio senator has become
a recognized expert and contains pro-
visions which must be adopted to
make the enterprise successful. For
instance the suggestion Of greater dis
elimination in making appropriations
for improvement work, emitting pro-
jects already condemned by experts,
the general policy OF improving main
streams first, an adjustment Of rela-
tons between railways and water
ways-entirely possible now-with a
view to securing greater cooperation
ali these things are not only desir-
able, but essential to the largest sue
cess Of the movement,
But when the senator comes 90 his
proposition to make adjoining states
