Health and Wealth.

There is a great difference between
the two temporal blessings. health and

least enjoyed; health is frequently en-

superiority of the latter is still more
obvious that the poorest man would

Ii IL is only natural that in state Of
the enormous population and the fab
ulous wealth OF which New York can
boast all statistical figures are upon
a large scale. An example is furnished
by the figures concerning the number
of insane persons in the state of New
York and the cost OF the state of pro-
viding for their care and maintenance.
The latest statistics show that there
are 30,49O insane persons in the var
ious state hospitals of New York, not
including those in private hospitals
and the 1,127 inmates of the two hos
pitfalls for the criminal insane. The
twenty three private hospitals have in
all only 1,O49 patients. The total
amounts to a little more than 1880,
enough to populate a good sized city
of the third class The figures, al
though official, are by no means COM
plete, however, as there are many
thousands of lunatics in New York city
and in other parts Of the state who
are not confined in any public or pri-
vate hospital Only a year ago a GER
tain authority on diseases Of the mind
made the statement that in New York
City alone there were at least 1000
persons of unsound mind, who should
be placed under medical care. Cynics
are inclined TO consider this estimate
as altogether too conservative.

FASTING THE PROPER
THING TO PRACTICE
"No Food" Cure Recommended By
Upton Sinclair Creates a
Furore.

Especial Gable TO Herald Republican,
London, April 16.-Much discussion has
been arouse damong the medical profess
sion and general public by the mo food"
cure recommended by Upton Sinclair. the
American novelist.
Many well known medical experts ad-
nit that there are benefits to be derived
from fasting if it is discreetIy practiced.
Dr.. Wallace, editress Of a physical Gull
ture magazine, says:
Fasting is most efficacious as a cure.
! have known it to work remarkable
cures in my own experience.
The person undergoing the no food
cure should take nothing but distilled wa
ter, and should exercise caution. The
weight should be taken before starting
the Iast, and if it is below the normal
food should be taken in reasonable guam
titles until the patient is the right weight
and ready to undertake the complete
fast.
"A fast should not be started in cold
weather. for that takes away much Of the
heat and energy Of the organism, but in
warm weather there is not this disad-
vantage.
IN my own experience ] have known
a patient TO fast for fifteen days ans
derive only advantage from the ordeal.
The patient was young Spaniard living
In a London boarding house.
He had suffered from serious internal
trouble since bOyhOOd and he came to
me to ask advice about the fruit diet
recommended. He was very dark, and
this / al first put dOWI to his foreign
birth and he looked very i'll.
Il said TO him: The fasting cure would
do you good and ! explained 10 him.
When I saw him again many weeks laIel
hardly recognized him.
He was the picture of health. He
held himself upright, and his step was
alert and vigorous. His eyes were bTlnght'
hi stongue a good color, and his pulse
normal.
But the most surprising thing was that
his skin was much fairer, and he laugh
ingly said TO me: Perhaps all Spaniards
are not really dark if they only tasted.
"T iearned-tO my surprise, for I had
never intended he should go so long with
out solid foOd-that he had tasted for
fifteen days, taking only distilled water
during all that time. And 1T certainty
cured him. -

CONCOCT|NG A FAKE
Austrian Woman Gets Into Trouble
With the German War
Office.

Especial Gable to Herald Republican,
Berlin, April 16.-During a visit to Monte
Carlo, Baron Won Massenbach. lieuten-
ant in the German reserve. made the ac-
quaintance of a masseuse" Josephine
Bendel, an Austrian by birth. one day,
in the course OF conversation. she men
toned to him that she knew q gentle
man in a high military position in Prus-
STA who was reasonably exploiting his
opportunities in the interests of France.
The baron was naturally interested In
this communication and diligently fol-
lowed it up Finally Fraulein Bendel
agreed 10 be put on oath. and solemniy
sWore that she could, and If a suffi-
GENTLY pecuniary inducement were held
out to her, would supply the name and
address of the traitor. together with a
photograph OF the fortress plans of which
he had sold TO the war office in Paris
for $4,000. She added number of cor
roborative details which need not be re-
peated here.
Baron Massenbach transmitted what he
had heard to Berlin. The result was that
the first time Bendel was so imprudent
as to cross the German frontier she found
herself in the hands Of the police. she
did not recant her strange story, now
ever, but, on the contrary, made II all
the more astounding by asserting that
the reasonable individual was none other
than the chief of the ernperors military
cabinet, General Baron Won Lyncker.
Confronted with the general she at once
admitted that she had made mistake
as TO identity, but nevertheless stuck TO
it that what she had said was Otherwise
correct The police invest cation, how
ever, produced the impression that the
whole gtory was q conventional proceed
ing, and the authorities decided TO prose-
cute her for nbeling Baron Lyncker. and
she was put on trial at Berlin this morn
ing and sentenced to eight months i'm

furiously indignant at the cunning which
underlay his requests for flowers for pious
purposes. 1t appears that some poison
actually reached him thus, or in some

1t also appears that newspapers have
been smuggled into his cell. The au-

altered the course of his defense, having
