Lack of Country Population

MEAT BOYCOTT DISCUSSION
Mrs. Henderson Considers Flesh No
Pure Food.
SEE BLESSING IN DISGUISE
Anti-Food Trust League Has Letter
Telling It 70 Extend
It's Activities.

Two radically different views Of the
food problem-one baAed upon the claim
that the raising Of more cattle by the
farmers would reduce the price of meat.
and the other offering the hypothesis that
the people eat too much anyhow, and
that vegetables. cereals and nuts would
form a beneficial substitute for meat
were the outcome yesterday of the con-
finued discussion in Washington of the
question of high prices for the necessities
OF nfe
Secretary Wilson Of the Department of
Agriculture advanced the theory that the
production OF more meat would be neces-
sary to meet the constantly increasing de-
fnand. Entirely too many people are
coming to the cities to be fed. in his opin-
ion, while altogether too few are remain
ing on the farms TO produce foodstuffs.
Mrs. Henderson's Views.
Mrs John B. Henderson gave an in
terview In which she outlined a dietary
system which excluded meat and offered
in its stead various compounds OF vege-
,tDIes and nuts and fruits. She con-
.lGers the meat boycott a. benefit In dis
suiSe-
incidentally Mrs. Henderson took q
prominent place in the local fight against
high prices when she accepted the posi-
tion of state director for the District of
Columbia Of the National Anti-Food
Trust League.
As president Of the league DIR. E. l.
Scharf is receiving letters from prom
inent men and women all over the coun-
try and the writer's are practically q
uni i'll urging the speedy extension OF
the league to nationwide dimensions.
None of DIR. Scharf's correspondents
are opposed to the boycotts which are in
force. Many of them declare that the
abstinence from meat in certain COM
muIities will not procure a permanent
relief from high prices.
il has been pointed out that the beef
trust" so-called. has a national organiza-
ton and even though the abstainers
from meat may secure reductions in
prices in some localities there is nothing
TO prevent the trust from increasing Its
income at the expense of other communi-
ties so that the general result will be
the same.
For this reason the rapid extension OF
the Anti-Food Trust League Is urged. sc
that its sphere of influence will equal
that of the packing interests.
DR.. Scharf stated yesterday that he has
received communications from severa
senator's. giving the names of desirable
persons In their home states to DE state
directors for the league. Similar nom
nations are expected to be received from
other senators in Congress
AS soon the league has it's lines ir
hand for state organization steps will be
taken to secure from members of the
House of Representatives the names OF
men or women to lead the movement ir
their districts.

Secretary Wilson's Opinion.

In his comment on the boycott against
meat products, Secretary Wilson said:
Undoubtedly if the farmers were rails
ing more meat the price would be reduc-
ed There are not enough people on me
farms raising food and too many peo-
pie are going to the towns TO be fed.
..Three-quarters of a million of people,"
said Secretary Wilson, ARE coming to
the United States annually from abroad.
They do not go to the farms, where they
might help raise food for the nation.
Farmers cannot get help. They go
to the cities and they have to be fed.
The cities produce nothing TO eat al
though they do produce something to
drink.
Have you any plan for inducing peo-
pie 10 go to the farms. where they may
help 10 raise foods?" the Secretary was
asked.
Jim Hill says they will go there when
they get hungry" said the Secretary,
after shaking his head in reply to the
question.

Labor Men Deliberate.

Members of organized labor in the Dts
trict are inclined to give more consider
alton TO all phases of the matter before
they actively participate in a meat boy
colt. Several labor leaders last night
stated that their unions would not take
the initiative in such movement. az
trades bodies In other cities have done.
The Central Labor Union has designated

Practical Benefits Derived.

Former Secretary of State Foster de-
clared one of the very practical benefits
to be derived from the study of the old
classics was the training they gave to be
concise In expression and thought and
the selection of words and phrases. He
regretted, he said, the so-called reform
in the American college curriculum and
the gradual elimination of the old classics
from the study room. first for the reason
of the high quality of mind training they
gave, and secondly from the standpoin,
of sentiment.
II firmly believe the change has come
from what are known as the optional
courses in our schools and universities
he said. What boy Of sixteen. seven
teen or eighteen has the right to choose
his studies? 1t Is vastly better that some
one select his courses for him-the
courses which have stood tho mental
training tests of years-and II he must
specialize in latter-day subjects, let 1t
come when his mind is in At condition
to absorb them to the best possible ad.
vantage"
DR.. Wiley and Mr.. Scott dwelt on the
advisability Of pursuing the old classics
first for the training of the mind, second
ly as a basis for future study in many of
the modern languages and lastly as the
base Of modern literature and from phil
osophical and psychological values they
possess.

George Washington Univer-
sity Classical Students.
ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES
Addresses by Ambassador Bryce,
John w. Foster and Others.
CLASSICAL STUDIES AS THEME
Tendency to Pursue Courses Of In
struction Which Bring Worldly
Benefits the Quickest.

The tenth anniversary of the Classical
Club of George Washington University
was celebrated with appropriate exercises
yesterday afternoon. With large attend
ance of members, their friends. and per-
sons prominent in educational circles of
the National Capital. The anniversary
meeting was presided over by Prof
Mitchell Carroll. the founder Of the club
and it's president since the organization,
in January, 1900.
The feature of the meeting was sym
postum on Classical Studies as a Train
ing for Men of Affairs" Those invited te
discuss the question were James Bryce
the British ambassador; former Secretary
of State John w. Foster. DR.. Harvey w
Wiley of the bureau of chemistry and
James Scott Brown. The several speak.
ers were introduced after short addresses
by Prof. Carroll. who reviewed the his
tory of the club for the past ten years
and Dean Monroe. who extended birth
day" congratulations to the club in the
name of the university.
Ambassador Gives a Warning.
Ambassador Bryce prefaced his remarks
by telling his audience that 1t was time
Americans were bestirring themselves In
the pursuit of classical studies, In view
of the tendency among the majority OF
American universities to desert them fol-
intellectual la.bors which brought practical
worldly benefits at the earliest possible
moment.
And this tendency is not only con.
fined to America he said. ut has beer

until 1t is gradually obtaining a firm hoId
In all the universities. 1t Is gaining favor
classics. 1t is matter of grave regret
and one which will require no little
thought on the part Of educators to ar
rest Its progress.
Among the great values of the Latir
and Greek languages the speaker de.
clared. "in the training of men Of af
fairs for after life was the fact that Their
| literature was the basis of all modern
literature. and as such common door
way Of the nations of the world to q
common comprehension of their respec
tive literatures.
II may say that Latin and Greek are
the very roots of modern Hterature-that
literature which began about the twelfth
or thirteenth century," said Ambassador
Bryce. AN educated man Of the present
day may not be familiar with more than
one or two modern tongues outside
of his native language. If he turns t
the classics of Rome and Athens he finds
there key to the modern literature OF
the tongues he Is not familiar with.
Latin and Greek are the more valu-
able because they gave us a graphic in.
sight into human nature-the most pro.
found and grandest study of all-and
from 1t we are able to trace inceptions
and progress in art, politics, the older
seiences-in fact. the history Of civiliza
ton from the Ionians and the Dorians to
the conquests Of the Gauls. They are
base stones in the worlds history Of hui
man advancement"

MILLIONS OF
LIVES LOST.
An Awful Toll Collected by Con-
sumption. Many Unnecessary
Deaths From This Disease.

If people could only understand
that systemic catarrh is an internal
disease that external applications
cannot cure, they would not need to
be warned so often about this mala-
dy, which, when neglected, paves
the way for consumption, at the cost
of millions of lives every year. Yet
catarrh may be cured, if the right
treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by a general
diseased state of the system which
leads commonly to annoying and per-
may prove fertile breeding ground
for germs of consumption External
remedies give but temporary case.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by
the blood to all parts of the system,
SO that the mucous membrane or
internal lining of the body is toned
and made capable OF resisting the
infection of consumption and other
diseases.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of q physician who
for thirty years studied and made
catarfh specially, and whose record
was patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment
was followed as prescribed. That
remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone We
are SO positive that it will COM
pletely overcome catarrh in all its
forms, whether acute or chronic, that
we promise to return every penny
paid us for the medicine in every
case where it fails or for any reason
does not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu.
Tone on our recommendation and
| guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract
any obligation and risk when yor
try Rexall MucuTone on our guaran
tee. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone il
two sizes, SO cents and $1.00. Very
often the taking Of one 50-cent bot
tie is sufficient to make a marked
impression upon the case. Of course
in chronic cases a longer treatmen
is necessary. The average in sucl
instances is three $1.00 bottles. Re
member you can obtain Rexall rem
edies in Leon only at our store-Th,
