WHAT DO YOU EAT FOR
MONDAY LUNCH?"

AID now the health reformers have
trained their guns on apple pie and
coffee that supposedly delicious. com
bination that finds its way into the
anatomy OF so many busy people at
noon every day Out in Chicago, where
II was never before suspected that
the people took enough. time TO grab
even a wedge OF pie IN the middle Of
the day, the edict has gone forth that
pastry and the amber fluid that
washes it down must 60 William a.
Evans, the live-wire city health officer,
says sO-and what Dr. Evans DEGREES
in Chicago l. pretty sure 10 be It
Dr. Evans hands out a neatly wrap
ped little chunk OF advice 10 the people
OF Chicago every week He calls It
the health departments press service.
It Is issued IN as many different Ian
guages as there are natiOnalities OF
newspapers IN the Windy City. It
reaches hundreds by mail and 1t Is
posted in conspicuous places wherever
large numbers of people gather, prin-
cipalIy in the public places or factories
and stores Thousands upon thousands
OF Chicsgoans read It, and a surprising
IL large number heed It.
4 recent health treatise dealt with
the monday lunch In It Dr. Evans
opines that If people would only
choose with discretion the food which
makes the needed energy for their
daily work, how many outraged stom-
aches would gratefully respond and do
their duty well instead OF making life
a burden TO the foolish ones who eat
whatever they think tastes good
There's wisdom IN Dr. Evans advice
anent the midday lunch Who can
dispute the truth OF the following:
Wholesome. nourishinE food IS what
is needed. Milk. eggs, rare beef.
soups. vegetables. and frultS-all take
their place in favor OF the worker,
coffee. worse tes- and the countless
other bakery lunches offered TO the
public
Another tip worth taking unto one
self Is DR.. Evans advice for the per
son who Is tired when meaI-time comes.
He urges a rest before eating, IN order
to avoid giving an already weary sys-
tenn more work 10 DO a warning
against eating rapidly completes the
weekly hint on how TO have good
health
Any rational person viii admit the
wisdom of following DIT. Evans sd-
vice. and viii concede that Il Is just
as good advice in Washington as it
IS IN Chicago. The trouble Is that we
are too apt TO accept such advice as
good when we read it and forget It
when we rush out for a bite to eat

WASHINGTON OAK

One OF the largest oak trees in West
Newton, planted in 1867 by Squire Seth
Davis was cut down yesterday It was
known as the Washington oak and was
situated on Washington street, near
HoughtOn's Corner.
On account of the traditions sur
rounding the tree. II had been saved
from removal many times in years gone

diameter A large store was built near

as YOU should be You are too prone
20 insist on having your rights in your
dealings with them and not willing
enough to make refunds and exchanges
These matters are not 70 be considered
from a standpoint Of right and wrong
but from a standpoint Of policy Hold
your trade at ali hazards Never let
man. woman. or child get ont OF your
store dissatisfied
This is particularly necessary in
dealing with women There is q pro-
lessor In Harvard with name which
looks in print like il has been speared

rath skeIler who SITTER a long series Of

Of psychological experiments and this
dsuction which he draws from them

for every merchant knows that women

EXPENSES AND
PUBLIC COMFORT.

The longitudinal seat issue Is really
not such a frightfulIy serious problem
after all. when It Is brought right
down to common sense. The traction
companies prefer cars with longitudinal
seats for three reasons.
First-They. cost less originally and
can be maintained at less expense
Second They permit a greater mum
Der of people to stand IN the aisles-
Third-They are more conveniently
handled in rush hours
The original cost and charge for up
keep are items worthy OF considera-
ton, because every one agrees that
the street car company should be per
mitted TO practice every possible
economy not inconsistent with good
service The question, then, Is wheth-
er the additional cost and additional
expense OF maintenance are sufficient
10 justify the discomfort that the
longitudinal seat imposes upon the
travelling public.
Certainly the increase over the cost
and maintenance Of cross seat cars is
not great Just how great 1t Is, the
District electric railway commission
is now trying to ascertain, but it is
extremely doubtful if the difference
viii be found sufficient to justify
forcing the long seat car upon a com
munity that doesn't ike It.
The second argument Of the com
panies IN behalf of longitudinal seats
is manifestly an argument for cross

VALUATION OF THE
RAILROADS.

The question of the physical valua-
ton of the railroads of the country
as a basis for determining what rates
they shall be entitled to charge con
tinUes to press for solution, ard 1t
found emphatic expression before the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
Chicago, where the protests of the
shippers against the proposed increase
IN freight rates are now being heard.
Attorneys for the railroads take the
position that this question has no
place IN the present in3oiry, but the
general trend of most OF the questions
asked by the attorneys for the ship
Pers Il in this direction. and it may
be stated that the shippers conten-
tons are as follows:
That determination OF whether
the railroads are earning as much
money as they are entitled 20 should
not De reached until the present value
Of the properties is ascertained.
That IN determining the present
value OF the railroads properties the
"unearned increment in the value Of
real estate should be excluded
That the percentage of earnings OF
railroads should not be greater than
the average earnings Of principal in
dustrtes IN the territory supplied by
each
The commission itself gave no indi-
cation OF its attitude toward these
contentious It permitted one of them
TO be read into the record and re
CURED another to be fled, unread,
chiefly because of It's length
But the attitude of the shippers
and the determination with which they
have taken up this issue viii strength
en- the hands Of those who believe that
the question OF railroad regulation
cannot be definitely and finally settled
until the actual value OF the physical
properties OF the railroads has been
determined

OUR RIGHT TO FORTIFY THE
PANAMA CANAL.

Even among those who oppose the
fertilization Of the Panama canal
there are few who contend that the
United States has not the moral right
20 install fortiheations. 1t IS quite
generally conceded that the fact that
We are digging the canal and that 1t
Is our property gives US a broad, gen
eral right TO adopt whatever means
We deem bet 70 protect It. Differences
Of opinion as TO fortifcation are based
almost exclusively on the question OF
our treaty privileges
Our undertaking IN Panama Is pro
vided for by three treaties, two Of
which are with Great Britain and one
with Panama The first is the CLAW
n-Bulwer treaty Of 1850, the second
Is the Hay-Pauncefote treaty Of 1902,
and the third Is the Hay Bunau-VariIla
treaty OF 1908.
The ay-Pauncefote treaty was ne
gotiated for the purpose of permitting
the United States 10 build the canal
uT4aided by England. The Clayton BuI-
yer treaty pledged each nation never
tosobtaiu or maintain for itself ship
canal across the isthmus- It was made
because each power was fearful that
the other would build a canal. or con
trol a canal built by private capital,
70 It's own advantage. subsequently,.
the sentiment Of both nations changed
Distrust faded, the United States de
velOPed a desire TO dig the ditch, and
Great Britain came 10 see that the
United States should dig II and con
troll it. Accordingly, It was neees-
sary TO set aside the Clayton BUlwer
treaty and negotiate a new one
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty was the
result. 1t did not sbrogate the Clay
ton Bulwer treaty, but superseded It
The points OF difference in the two
conventions are important. showing the
change in the British viewpoint con
eeTning the canal In these points OF
difference, also, lies part Of Tie argu-
nent IN favor OF the contention that
the United States has the right. under
It's treaties, 10 erect Notifications on
the isthmus-
The Clayton Bulwer treaty provided
that neither the United States nor
Great Britain VIII ever obtain OF main
tain for itself exclusive control over
the said ship canal The Hay aunce-
fote treaty provides that ~the canal
nav be constructed under the auspices
d the United States. which shall en-
