DAILY DIET HINTS
BY DIR. T. j. ALI -N
Food Specialist,
DRINKING WITH EEALs.

The very general habit of
drinking at meals is, b. common
consent Of all hygien!-.s, injuri-
GUS. DiIuting the fooe causes it
to be sooner swallowed, thus i'm
posing upon the stomach work
which ought to be do=e in the
mouth, by thorough ne 1tication.
Diluting the stomach figid weak
ems it and retards the normal
flow. Cold drinks COO. .he stom-
ach and thus retard Digestion;
hot drinks, taken abitualIy,
lower the tone of the stomach
and thus cause undue retention
of the food. Drink should be
taken an hour before meals or
two hours after. Animals do
not drink while they eat. It is
difficult to overcome the habit,
especially in warm weather, but
1t can be done gradually. Drink
Ing Is far less Objectionable
after meal of fruit, vegetable,
rice or other food digesting in
the Intestine than after bread,
nuts, beans or meat, which
should remain longer In the
stomach.

WHY The SUITS
WERE DROPPED
Alfred |. DUPONT Says Letter
From Defendant Was Not
the Cause
SAYS HE ALREADY HAD
DIRECTED DISCONTINUANCE

Alfred /. DUPONT, who was plaintiff in
the suits brought against Mrs. Elizabeth
Bradford DUPONT and Mrs. Mary n. j.
Bush. which We're discontinued by j.
Harvey Whiteman, counsel for the plain
tim on Thursday last, says that the letter
sent by counsel for the defendants to Mr..
Whiteman on Monday last had nothing to
do with the dropping of the cases The let
ter to Mr. Whiteman signed by Sauls-
bury, Ponder and Morris and by Thomas
+ Bayard. stated that if declarations in
the suits were not filed within thirty
days the defendants would ask for judg-
ment FOR want Of dec arations. The letter
was sent on Monday and on Thursday Mr.
Wh,'eman discontinued the suits on the
prothonotarys books.
Mr. dupont says ne instructed Mr..
Whiteman TO discontinue the suit some
time before counsel for the defendants
wrote their lettor 10 Mr. Whiteman
Mr.. duPonts statement is as follows:
The reason given by THE EVENING
JOURNAL that the discontinuanoe Of the
suits was incidental to a letter written by
the attorneys for the defendants to my
counsel is absolutely Incorrect. If such a
letter was written TO Mr.. Whiteman, my
lawyer 1 am confident he did not receive
it until after he had fuhIed my insruc-
tions regarding the withdrawal, for he
made no mention of IT. to me.
These suits have been discontinued be-
cause several members Of the DUPONT FAM
ily have interceded in behalf of the de-
PENDANTS. but chiefly at the request of my
wife and on account Of her recent serious
illness. Mrs dupont has never been fully

would be largely governed By the conduct
Of the parties whom they represent. The

PROF. BERLIN TRIES TO
AVERT SCHOOL STRIKE
Talks Earnestly TO the Boys, But Heads Are Shaken
and No Vote is Taken---Commiffee 10 See Board
of Education Tonight

Tonight another appeal will be made
to the Board of Education by the
High School pupils to return to the
old ruling of a half-hour noon period
and as zoo pupils have signed an
agreement to strike at the afternoon
session tomorrow II the Board does
not reconsider the new law Of an hour
at noon. there is an atmosphere of eX-
citement and unrest around the High
School building The students one and
all evince a spirit Of loyalty TO the
school and thoroughly friendly rela-
tions with their teachers, but they
feel that there is so much Of justice
on their side Of the question. The
later dismissal of school in the after
noon entails so much real hardship,
they say and i'm addition the public
sentiment of the community is so
strongly with their side that they
think the Board of Education should
consider their point OF view.
At the morning exercises at the High
School this morning, the principal A.

would do anything TO break up their

TO have an end put TO the morning
exercises and the other social func-
tions that meant so much to them all
He did not believe that their common
sense would let them foolishly throw
away their standings and good record
and graduation marks for the sake
of a rash demonstration, which could
accomplish nothing.
He did not believe that the students

TWELVE NIGHT RIDERS
TO BE TRIED AT COVINGTON

WASHINGTON, April n.-Great interest
is being taken by the Department of JUS
tice i'm the trail of the twelve alleged night
riders, which will take place at Coving-

The facts I'm the case were discovered by
the departments agents during their in

Dry Ridge, KY. who was not member

that the most astonishing things had
been done. and were planned. He him
self had been accused Of losing "a
strilSe-leader his employment. although
he had no idea Of taking away any
mans Job. America was getting too
notorious for strikes. 1t was all that
was heard about from one end of the
country 70 the other. and it was an un-
enviable reputation to be IN a strike
and one that spoke little for common
sense and sound judgment.
Principal Berlin assured the school
that they would be represented at the
Board Of Education meeting tonight
as he would be present and plead their
cause fully. He said that the pres
ence of a student delegation would not
be agreeable TO the board and they
did not wish to see the students Ht
was sure that it would detract from
the strength of their cause with tn,
board if they were present. Profcs.
sor Berlin did not see what good they
could accomplish by IL. for they had
been at one board meeting already anC
presented all they had TO say then. and
they had made plenty of demonstra-
tion of the unpopularity of the new
rule. He said also that all had beer
done i'm perfectly dignided and gentle
manly manner. and he hoped the boys
would not depart from that STANDARD
now
Should Submit to the Board.
If the board did not agree TO re-
turn TO the old ruling. they must re-
member that 1t was the place OF the
board 70 make the regulations for the
school. and as loyal and law-abidinl
pupils they ought TO submit 10 the deci
sion Of the board. as the teachers i'm
tended doing He said the pupils ha,
done all that it was right for then
70 do, and that further complaints Il
the board should come from the par
ents. He thought the board would con
slider it more fitting that they shoul'
listen TO parents rather than 10 pupils
and that the students would only hur
their cause by continued demonstra
tions on their part. Professor Berlii
also said that he would take TO th
board assurance that the teachers o
the High School would abide by IN
laws OF the board made, and If n
could take the same assurance fror
the pupils. he would have muc
stronger chance of getting the boar
