FLETcHERlsM NONSENSE.

In an address delivered the other
day before an interested audience in
Philadelphia DR.. Alonzo Taylor, pro-
lessor of physiological, chemistry in
the University of Pennsylvania, show
ed that many of the oftenest express
ed and most heartily endorsed views
on the question of food values were
the result Of personal prejudice or
downright ignorance In speaking of
Fletcherism he said:
"The greater part of Fletcherism is
downright nonsense. It implies, for
instance, that chewing helps to digest
food. That is not true. Mastication
merely prepares food for digestion.
Anything beyond reasonable amount
of chewing is mere waste Of time
and energy. The best point of Fetch
erism is that 1t checks the tendency
to gulp down food, but on the whole,
unless prevented by imperfect teeth
or lack OF time, the majority of men
masticate quite enough"
Another fallacy, Professor Taylor
said, is that an unrestricted use of
sugar Is bad:
I'm still waiting for some dentist
to explain to me why the use Of
sugar affects the teeth in any way
No one has been able to tell me yet
| The accusation that it causes decay
of teeth seems to me perfectly I'M
justified. AS for it's effect on the
digestion, popular ideas there are
wrong, too.
Sugar is one of the most easily d.
gested foods in the world, and the
only reason it is at all harmful Is be-
cause it is so easily digested that
there is danger of overlooking. Sugar
should not be looked upon as mere
/ seasoning, like pepper or salt It is
food for the body, and a cheap food
at that, and deserves chief place on
our bills of fare. We might take pat
/ tern from the Russian government
which furnishes after many of the
| experiments had been tried and have
! failed. pure sugar to its soldiers or
| forced marches"
The idea that We eat too much
meat is result Of economic condi
/ tons, Professor Taylor said It's use
is largely condemned by popular con
sent because it happens to be one o
the most expensive staples. Tn
prejudice against red meats, HI
said, is the outcome of a misconcep
ton of a group of English doctor
who promulgated a theory that ha
never been proved that there are per
ceptible differences between tn
corpuscles of red and white meats
Concerning the cold storage o
meats, Professor Taylor said Their
was good word to be said of the sys
tenn Meats, he explained, store
!, away undergo self-digestive process
, that makes them more tender and in
. proves their texture. From two +
! eight weeks of storage, he said, coul
not in any way harm the meats, an
would undoubtedly improve them TO
eating. He heartily condemned, how
!, ever, the keeping of undressed fow
, for any length of time. It Is not tn
} cold storage. or even the length O

HISTORY IN VERSE.

ItuQs IA VI IAipAihS, oha " H. H. n lttCu-
er have jointly produced an unique
school history that is certain to com.
mand wide attention. Mr.. Fletcher
states facts in prose and Mr.. Kipling
supplements them with characteristic
verse in which they are presented in
graphic form. Admirers OF the British
poet will recall his lines in Mean
drew's Hymn in protest against the
idea that steam has spoiled romance
at sea:
Romance. Those first-class passen-
gers they like it very we'll,
Printed an bound in little books; but
why don't poets tell?
I'm sick of all their quirks an turns
the loves and doves they dream
Lord, send a man like Robbie Burns
to sing the Song of Steam.
In line with this thought Kipling
makes Industrial conditions subserv-
lent to his muse He heads chapter
on the modern industrial development
OF England with the following verse
entitled THE Secret of the Machines: !"
We were taken from the ore-bed and
the mine,
We were melted in the furnace and
the pit
We were cast and wrought and ham,
mered to design,
We we're cut and filed and fooled
and guaged to fit.
Some water, COAL and oil is all We
ask,
And a thousandth of an inch to give
us play,
And now if you will set us to our task,
We will serve you four and twenty
hours a day.
We can pull and haul and push and
lift and drive,
We can print and plough and weave
and heat and light
We can run and jump and swim and
fly and dive,
We can see and hear and count and
read and write!

What the Books Cost Him.

When Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll
was living in Peoria he was called
upon one day by General John 4. Lo-
gan. The colonel was upstairs at the
time. and General Logan was ushered
into the library. where on table were
three volumes Of Voltaire'S works. an
edition de luxe representing all that
was best in the bookbindcr's art. Cen
eral Logan picked them up one at a
time. absorbed in his admiration Of
their beauties. While so engaged
Colonel lngersoll entered the room.

HIS BRIGHT IDEA.
He Worked II Successfully, and Vet
He Wasn't Satisfied.

Dawn was breaking over the CITY
when MIR. North Side anblcd into an
all night restaurant. 1t was still
breaking when he finished his humble
meal and placed what he supposed
was IL dime on the cashiers desk.
Gould almost tie knots in this one"
remarked the cashier as she showed
the coin back. Lead" she explained.
North Side took the piece. looked at
it critically. dropped it back into his
pocket and tished for the price"
Two cents and a nickel rewarded his
search.
The cashier had lien on the nickel
and forecloscd the lien. Mr.. North
Side wondered how he would get home
on the . cents and Il lead dime.
Walking was not to his liking. but It
WAS either that or go begging. he con-
GUIDED. as he emerged to the sidewalk.
AS he was standing there debating
which alternative to follow profess
sional tramp shutilcd up and asked for
the price of breakfast.
Nortl, Side waved the man aside.
The bc-gar. however was insistcnt.
In order to get rid of him North Side
remarked:
Don't you see I'm in the same
graft: You're on my beat"
Quit kidding.' returned the beggar.
eff YOU don't feel like giving u quar-
ter give Il dime or Il nickel"
This gave North Side an idea "Have
you got Il nickcI:" he asked. Yes?
Then give it TO me and III give YOU Il
dime. You deserve something for per-
sevcring So
The bcggar dug up Il nickel from his
trousers pocket. ana the exchange was
made. North Side waited to see the
tramp quickstep around the corner
and chuckled as he thought of the
beggars surprise when he tried to
convert his dime into food. He darted
up the elevated stairs There was OK
altation in his manner as he pushed
the nickel over to the ticket agent.
She pushed it back with one comment:

WILLKELPDESTROYW WEEDS
Sheep Are Very Valuable for That Pur.
pose Upon the Farm or
Ranch

The statement has been made that
sheep will eat anything but mullen
plant and thistle. That remark con
veys a wealth OF meaning, and is liter
ally true. Sheep are the best scavan
gers that We can have upon farm or
ranch when it comes to cleaning the
place Of weeds. Sheep have been
known to cat thistles. The writer has
noticed the lambs and older sheep as
we'll pick the thistle out Of the good
hay and eat them with apparent relish
How to rid the place of obnoxious
weeds is an ever increasing problem,
especially in the irrigated districts.
However, if diversified farming is prac.
ticed the weed question will be much
easier settled. The Master has estab
lished a sclt Of equilibrium for all ma
t'lre and Just as soon as man destroys
TINS equilibrium Just that soon must
more stringent means he employed for
controlling Cur operations. The farm
er on ranch,nan who raises but one
crop on one kind Of live stock is sure
to get into all kinds Of trouble Weeds
and insects will destroy his crop. and
disease is apt to overtake his live
stock. Besides when farmer pro.
duces only one kind Of grain and only
one type OF live stock the market is
very apt t influence his prosperity;
whereas if he produces all kinds OF
live stock ald different kinds of grain
he is sure OF better prices, for the mar.
kets are seldom alike on all classes
OF stock and upon all types of grain
Therefore the weed problem resolves
itself into something like this: The
very best kind of farming for farmer
to follow is the kind that will destroy
the most weeds and bring in the larg
est returns, as we'll as maintain the
fertility OF the soil That means a
good rotation and different classes of
live stock 10 which the feed or grains
are fed. This last includes sheep.
They will destroy more weeds and
bring in more money than any other
type OF animals.
1t must not be concluded from this.
however. that the way to kill weeds
is to simply buy sheep and turn them
in the fields. In that event nine times
out OF ten the large weeds will not be
touched. Sheep do not like rank

stroy weeds, must be handled with
skill. 1t will be remembered by sheep.
men that The young shoots of weeds in
many eases are preferred to grass.
Therefore to insure the best work the
