WILL LEAD TO VEGETABLE
DIET, SAYS PROF. FISHER

New Haven, Feb. 6--Prof. Irving Fish
er. who told his class in Yale the past
week that the chief cause for the present
rise in prices was the increase in gold,
is out to-day with another statement. He
says:
"One Of the curious incidents Of the
situation is the meat boycott. especially
as meat, though the most expensive and,
perhaps. one of the least wholesome parts
Of our diet. has not risen as far as other
prices The temporary going without
meat will, of course. effect no permanent
drop in prices.
But It viii not he surprising II those
who now find il so hard TO give meat I'D.
should conclude, as have so many people
already, that abstinence from it leaves
them better off-at any rate. that they
are better off without as much meat as
Americans ordinarily use. In other
words. an Incidental consequence Of the
rise in prices may be a permanent re-
duction in the quantity of meat con-
sumed.
THE statistics Of the Department of
agriculture 90 III IACNr SHoW tndt there
has been a falling OF in the consumption
Of meat for years. Or. Wiley is quoted
as saying this will result in making
'mOllycoddIes' Of US. But no such danger
seems likely. II IS true a sudden or
complete abstinence is often hurtful.
But a reduction in its use and a substi-
tuition of cheese, nuts. peas. and beans.

have been found greatly to improve
health. as well as decrease the cost of
living"

AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN VERSE.
Bavarian Princess Put Her Own
story Into Poem

There has just been issued by a
Munich publisher a book Of verses which
has proved the sensation OF the German
season. It is really the anonymous au-
photography Of princess, and is en-
titled Poems Of One Who Died Young,
says the New York World
In Il the princess describes her birth
and her unhappy attachment to a ptince
OF the royal house whose physical in
i-mites prevented her marrying him.
Finally, she gives a description OF her
own funeral services in a vast cathedral.
telling that she IS buried IN the wedding
dress she never used.
The mention OF a troop of heavy dra-
goons gives color TO the belief that the
princess belonged TO the nobility Of Ba-
varia. in which state alone heavy dra-
goons are TO be found. She describes
with great detail how her beloved came
to her while she was at an Alpine-like
lake. which is generally believed must
be the Bavarian lake resort Of Hohen-
schangau. Then she tells with much
pathos how the lovers were obliged to
part.
She relates how the imperioUs de-
mands of her family compelled her 10
marry another. After the birth Of her
child the heroine gradually sinks into her
grave. The end comes to her while she
is visiting on the Riviera.
The problem Of identity is az present
unsolved.

TEN FAMILIES MOVE
FROM Ky. TO W. VA
Don't Like Big Sandy Valley and
Move Into the euyan Country.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va. April 10
There were ten families who came
down over the Ohio and Big Sandy
branch of the B. and o. Railroad yes
terday, who were moving up the
Guyan Valley. where the men are to
be employed at some of the coal
mines along the road. Most of them
came from the neighborhood of White
house.
During the spring there has been
great exodus from the Sandy Valley
of farmers who have gone to other
counties of the State, that they claim
are better adapted to their business
than the counties along the Sandy
river.
