WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician. Of Portland. Oregon.
has views about food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty Of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that VIC
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
with such feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure In saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation l have
and that find there is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases of sick
ness and convalescence.
ut is my experience that no physi.
cal condition forbids the use Of Grape
Nuts. To persons In health there is
nothing SO nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach. especially at break.
fast, to start the machinery Of the hui
man system on the days work.
"In cases of Indigestion / know that
a complete breakfast can be made OF
Grape-Nu and cream and l think 1t is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. l also know the
great value of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach Is too weak to digest other
food.
This is written after an experience
of more than 20 years, treating all
manner of chronic and acute diseases,
and the letter is written voluntarily
on my part without any request for it.

Denver.-S. Poulterer Morris, execu-

for the prevention and control of tu-

aration for the Christmas campaign.
This year 1t is hoped that the asso-

to cover the cost of getteing them
out. The rest of the money will go
toward the work OF the association in
Colorado.

the chamber tonight asks that che
quarantine regulation at this port be
so changed as to abolish state IN
spection for all vessels inspected or
admitted by the federal station at
Old Point. As all vessels coming In
TO the Roads are either admitted or
inspected. such change would mean
Ipracticslly the abolition of the State
service. It will be argued by some OF
those who favor an efficient State
quarantine and the withdrawal ofthe
federal station, that this step ought
not TO be taken. at least. until an ef-
fort has been made TO induce the leg
stature TO provide for an effective
State service. In other words. we
should go on paying fees and allow
ing our commerce to be Handicapped
until the legislature meets. at least.
When the legislature has indicated
that there is a prospect of estab-
fishing and maintaining a real State
service. then it will be time enough
TO talk about Withdrawing the United
States station. In the meantime let
us remove the useless burden The
advocates of an efficient state service
cen present their claims when the
legislature meets again, regardless OF
the cutting of Of fees paid for far

Naval Gun Power.

There is tendency TO judge the
power of ship by the amount of
metal which can be thrown If all
tine guns were fired simultaneously
and without regard to whether they
could be brought to bear upon an
enemy or could be fired as fast in
war as they could be fired in theory
ON paper. This method OF judging
ship of war is somewhat analogous
to the cannibal's idea of effective
music. To an untutored savage the
most effective piano would be one in
which the loud pedal was always on.
and the player in order to produce
the greatest volume of sound struck
all the notes at once. To the prac-
ticed ear the result would not be
music. In the same way TO the ex-
pert gunnery officer the idea of
mounting as many guns as possible in
ship-it may be crowding them to-
gether 50 closely as to become a dan
ger to the crew rather than the
enemy-and firing them all at once
