Fletcllerisi,l.

Prof, Fletcher, the noted dietetic
specialist, Is also numbered among
those who believe an increase in the
cost of living is due to other causes
than the tariff law. He declares we
can live more cheaply and be more
healthy if we moderate our diets and
masticate our food more thoroughly
BY so doing the average person can
live on about half the food ordinarily
eaten to sustain life.
Meat is not eaten by this distin-
guished professor and he does away
with breakfast altogether. For
luncheon he eats baked potatoe,
tomatoes, bread and butter and
drinks glass OF cream. For even
ing dinner, he has soup, potatoes,
nuts and bread and butter. On this
diet and by complete chewing the
professor, who is past 60 years OF
age. can perform difficult athletic
feats with ease.
Naturally some persons require a
larger amount of nutrition than
Others and any objections to fixed
and rigid rules as. laid down by prof
Fletcher should involve the consid-
Grafton OF such differences. In the
absence of sufficient data along that
line it may >be presumed that the
Fletcheristic doctrine provides for
some such reasonable allowance
Most people will believe that they
ought to eat until their hunger is sat
istled and it will probably he a long
long time before this idea is disre.
garded, perhaps never, yet Fletcher
ism emphasizes one point that ought
to appeal to everybody. That is mod.
Grafton in eating. This may be done
more acceptably than by the method
of reducing the food supply as sug-
gested by Prof. Fletcher. Some per-
sons are continually eating. They
cat their breakfast and throughout
the day they munich and crunch this
thing and that until one sometimes
marvels at the powers of gastrono-
mic endurance and expresses surprise
that the army of dyspeptics is not
largr than it is. A saner regula-
ton OF eating, or the application of
the doctrine OF temperance in food,
would no doubt, he the means OF pro.
longing many a life and OF causing
much less stomach suffering.

Not Dead Yet.

Leaders in the late crusade against
the common houseny are criticized
by the Engineering News as indulg-
ing in "a repetitious babble of senti-
ment," with the intimatlon that talk
OF the terrible danger from The small
but pestiterous insect is highly en-
aggerated, yet the Pittsburg Dispatch
believes the fly ought TO be done to
death on general principles and be-
walls the fact that it is still with us.
Says the Dispatch:
I'VE are not concerned much over
the question whether the accusation
against the fly of spreading typhoid,
smallpox, consumption or various
other diseases is we'll founded.
While it is quite possible that he is
not guilty of all these things, he is
such a nuisance that he can be con-
demned 10 death on general princi-
pies. Our criticism of the sanitary
retormers is that they do not carry
one crusade of determination TO its
logical end before beginning new
one.
With the discovery of the yellow
fever and misunderstanding anepholes
sanitary science summoned human
ity to the determination of the mos
quito and the eradication Of those
diseases. Mankind agreed on the
principle that in addition to getting
rid of the pestilencce the mosquito
was pest at the best But before
the mosquitoes were finally relegated
to the list of extinct forms OF life
public attention was called to the
case of the rat as a spreader OF bu-
homie plague and many othed things,
Society cheerfully agreed TO the ex.
termination of the rat because
whether he was guilty as charged Or
not, he is unquestionably an unde
siraDle citizen. But before the ex.
termination was wrought We were
again diverted to the perversity and
wickedness of the flies. Yet the sum.
mer is ended and flies, rats and mos,
quitos are still alive and will be pres.
ent in full force next year.
1T certainly seems that II the in
seccrs and rodents do all that is
charged against them, the wonder is
that humanity is not already extinct
Nevertheless the extinction of the
pests is carried by unanimous con-
sent. Neither flies. mosquitoes nor
rats. have any friends among the hui

More Red Gross stamps.


The sale of Red Cross stamps for
the benefit of the fight against the
Great White Plague was SO sue
cessful last year that another sale
has been decided upon for this year
and supplies will doubtless soon be
received in this city and placed in
local stores for distribution.
Much progress has been ac-
complished in the war against this
disease. and already the death rate
has decreased. In the fight agains.
this disease the thing needed most
is an educational campaign TO teach
the principles of immunity and cure,
such as those OF proper ventilation,
inyigorating diet and exercise. In
the work of the Red Cross Society
1t las been found that in a large per
centage of instances effective home
treatment was all that was needed
without the necessity OF sending
patients TO high-priced specialists O.
special climates.
At present 400 sanitariums and
hospitals have been established, with
Accommodations for nearly $4,000 pa
tents; 900 special dispensarfes have
been establishedin the work. Tuber-
cculosis, which was first called by
Oliver Wendall Holmes tho "ereo /
white plague" is superaueus
Iseourge, and with the agencies com
batting it, indications are that in the
future it will be as rare as smallpox
has become. The latter disease has
decreased in Sweden, for example
from mortality of 1000 to s per
million of the inhabitants. But be-
fore the extinction of the disease of
consumption great campaign OF
enightment and repression must he
waged.
Nearly every one knows OF the
work OF the Society and the stamps
will doubtless receive a hearty well
come when placed on sale. With the
proceeds, which will probably be
much greater than those OF last year.
the work of the societ! will he placed
on tirmer foundation, and further
progress made in the checking of
this deadly disease.

son Saturday.

A Trust Question.

The Connellsville Courier has the
following to say about trusts:
The threatened dissolution Of
numerous so-called trusts raises a
question of far-reaching Importance.
not only to capital, but also to la
Dor
The principle upon which it is
proposed to dissolve the Trusts and
resolve them back into their original
elements is the ancient and honor
able rule that combinations in re-
straint of trade are unlawful.
The question arises, When is a
Trust not Trust?
The modern trust is merely a big
corporation. usually built up by
combination and absorption. How
big must corporation or combina-
ton of capital become to be classified
as a trust? Where shall the line be
drawn?
In answering these questions we
are confronted with a process of rea-
soning which logically followed
proves that all corporations and
partnerships are trusts differing
merely in size and not principle.
Without the large combinations of
capital which Went to make up large
corporations, this nation would have
remained poor and provincial in
stead of becoming a World Power.
The Indians and the buffaloes would
have been roaming over the west
ern plains and the development of
our rich natural resources would
have been confined chiefly to sections
reached by navigable waters.
