MAN IS WHAT
FOOD MAKES HIM
Wife Who Provides Vegetables
DiSCreetIy Can Have Happy
Home


WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Plainly the
savants Of the Agricultural Department
have been studying the aesthetic who lives
on the odor Of a lily, have been observ-
ing the sweet young creature who nibbles
candid yiolets.
From this study and observation the
learned agrlculturists have come to the
conclusion that man IS what his food
makes him. They assert this Is true OF
a woman. too. II a man chews gun
powder he Is converted olto very Tar
tarin OF Tarascon, dealing death and
destruction II woman d,votes herself
to mush becomes-weli, mushy.
The truly rural scientists In Washing
ton have evolved what they call "legu-
minotherapy." Few but themselves
know what this means. II may be de-
fined. more or less exactly. as the ply
siology Of vegetarianism. DO you catch
that? or perhaps It may be called the
sublimation Of diatetics. Is that perfect
ly plain?
Anyhow the learned agriculturists lay
down certain rules.
Casein in carrots affects character.
spuds spell sluggishness.
Beans build brains.
Proteid in peas promotes the tender
passion.
/ Albominold aids ambition.
Nourishing nitrogen nests In walnuts.
Spinach spurs to supremacy
Caulihower and cabbage are nourish-
ing. but they cause vulgarity Of charsc-
ter and check quick perception.
So the savants strongly advise that veg
etables be taken into ones midst in quail
tiles ard variety to suit the person that
eats them. We'll boiled carrots are pre-
scribed for bad temper; green peas
should be denied 20 girls with a tendency
TO hirt: overindulgence in potatoes Is
apt to produce apathy and isziness; spin
ach should be taken, particularly by the
young. because It induces energy and
develops constancy; French string beans
are said to constitute an ideal diet fol
poets and artists; white haricot beans
should be eaten by intellectual workers
because they restore the nervous system
and should. the science holds. be pre-
ferred as a strengthening food TO anl
sort OF meat. and especially beef, Dis
raeii, Carlyle. Daudet and 1bsen fed OF
haricot beans.
II the scientists are TO be believed

creetly can have a happy home and saw
money on meat and eggs.

FUSES MAKE
TRAVEL SAFE

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has a system Of fuses and torpedoes that
is believed to be far ahead of all others
for safety. When a train is delayed on
the road at night and its crew has reason
to believe there is another approaching,
# is the flagman's duty to throw a fuse
onto the track. This fuse burns for ten
minutes and an approaching train must
come to an absolute stop until II burns
out and then proceed cautiously. They
burn big red light. In the daytime cars
are used on the rails. The approaching
train running over two caps slows UP
and proceeds cautiously. One cap is a
signal for an instant stop until the cause
is aseertained.

TALL FEATHER WINS.
Takes First and Third Falls from Young Jenkins in Finish Match Fast Wrestling Seen.

The best card that has been put on this season by the Windham Athletic club was the one Friday evening and the good, sized audience more than got full value for it's money. It comprised two three-round preliminaries, a box ing and sparring exhibition, and a finish wrestling match. The first pre- liminary was between Kid Bowers and Young Sullivan, with Frank Mclean as referee. Bowers showed himself gritty, but Young Sullivan was a trifie more scientific. The second was be- tween Block Harris and Frank Mo- Lean, purely an exhibition of sparring but convulsed the crowd with laughter. Harry Denman was referee The main event of the evening, the finish match, best two out of three falls, between Tall Feather, the Manitoba Indian, and Young Jenkins of Worcester, Mass, was easily the most fiercely contested wrestling match seen in this city in recent years It was a constant round of action full of surprises. Jenkins appeared to have about everything in the line of tricks and the Indian dis played many of the wiles for which his race is famed. The latter's greater strength and weight alone saved him from being w6rsted- Each contestant received good measure of applause. The first fall was obtained by Tall Feather in A minutes and s seconds on Young Jenkins secured the second in IA minutes 10 seconds on body scis- SOrS ana a half nelson. The third went to Tall Feather in minutes seconds on an armlock and front chancery.
 Frank Mclean was referee and T. F. Connolly tfmekeeper. Announcer l.. N. Dondero stated that Charles Rogers of Fall River. Mass. and Smiling Living stone of Hartford were matched for this city next Thursday evening.
 Young Jenkins and Collins are also matched for some time in the future each having won one match apiece, it is said.
 After the match Young Jenkins told the audience he would like another chance at the Indian and that he would bet any amount that he could throw him at any time and that he would waive weight. A forfeit was posted and the. club will get them together for another finish match at no distant

top of the hill they again sent the bus against a telephone pole with ter rife force, throwing Harold Copeland, who had alone remained with the run away to this time, as if he had been shot from a catapult. Cleared from the wrecked vehicle, the horses raced around the corner into Franklin street, over the Franklin street crossing and into Furnace street. Here "Buckey Boulias dashed at the flying pair and managed to catch a piece of the har- ness, but he was struck in the legs by the swinging pole of the bus and given a tumble in the mud for his pains, the horses getting away. They ran up Furnace street and into School street where they were finally captur- ed and taken to Kennedy's stable. The horses, which are owned, as is the bus, by Frank Spaulding of Brooklyn, were not injured.
 Of the boys thrown out. Nathaniel Greenleaf probably received the worst bump. His head struck the ground with much force and he was consider ably dazed. but was able to go to the office of Dr. F. P. Todd for treatment Young Copeland did not seem much the worse for his thrilling experience. All of the boys were plastered with mud and one or two oVercoats were torn and ruined. Those in the bus at the time the runaway started were George Pearl, Lester Williams. Ethan Baker Carol Allen, Walter Lathrop, Harold Copeland, Nathaniel Green1eaf and AL bert Bernier, the last named having intended riding only as far as the West Side.
 The young women students from Brooklyn who usually ride back and forth in the bus were busy at the school with their mid winter examine tions; otherwise there might have beer a more serious story to relate. Then would be considerably less than those of the boys
