WHAT TO EAT-WILEY.
Government Expert Says 1t De-
pends On The Individual.

What person must eat 10 he healthy
and happy is answered by DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley, the Government food expert, who
says it all depends upon the individual.
Here is what the Doctor says upon the
proper feeding Of the nation:
''For theSinfant there is no better diet
than mothers milk. II that is not 10 be
had, pure, wholesome cows milk will do.
"The growing child needs generous
diet Of fruit, Hiead and moderate amount
Of msat But all pure stimuli such as
tea, coffee. cocoa and artificial drinks con
tanning caffeine and allied drugs should
be excluded. While the diet for the
child should he generous. great care
must be taken that it is not excessive.
For the grown man weighing $50
pounds the diet should be varied as pos.
sible, in order that he may not become
satiated with any one kind of food. This
does not include bread, meat, butter. eggs
and other staples. which can be eaten
every day. Fruit is not to be omitted
because it is not only nutritious but very
whole
THE man at hard labor must have
starch. sugar and fats. for the burning of
these furnishes energy for work. For in
stance, man who labors with his hands
thrives on covnbread. potatoes and ia,
meat. For potatoes. syrups- good. pure
syrups-can be substituted.
THE man with the sedentary position
should avoid too much cornbread, starch
potatoes and fats.
"There are persons who thrive on fad
foods. but in my opinion the average
man is omniverously and should eat a
wholesome mixture of foods.
IF the girls were taught proper meth
DDS of cooking eggs and meats they might
be spared the necessity of making cakes
and puddings. Good cooking and nutri-
tion do much to restrict the evils of
divorce, add much to this happiness of in
diViduals and strengthen the power of
the nation. They will make happy and
efficient lives, lead to contented old age
and make ieath speedy and painless
when it does come.

The Grand Jury that has been invisti-
eating the primary election frauds in
Baltimore for the month past completed
the work of recounting the vote cast on
Monday, and made their report
Such wholesale corruption and fraud
were found that 23S persons were pre-
sented as being implicated, including
both democratic and republican election
judges and clerks.
The democratic organization machine
crooks in their desire to force men on
the ticket not wanted by the people, in
one instance, that of the candidate for
Sheriff, stole over 500 votes that had been
cast for Thoms F. McNulty, and counted
them for their own hireling, ]. Albert
Hughes, and yet this man Hughes is SO
greedy for the emoluments of Office as to
accept nomination obtained by fraud,
remain on the ticket and ask the support
of the people at the polls.
This is sample of the work of the
organization crooks who control the
politics of Baltimore city. and, as is
proven by the Grand Jury's revelations,
manipulate elections as they please. re-
gardless of how the vote is cast.
It isn't any wonder damper has been
put upon the campaign, that has made
itself felt throughout the entire State,
and that small interest is manifested by
the voters, even though the election is
within two weeks time.

Thomas McNulty, who was defeated
for the democratic nomination Of Sheriff
in the Baltimore city primaries on August
2o, by the grossest sort of fraud, practiced
by the organization crooks, has announced
that he will run. as an independent can
didate for the Office, stating that in view
of the actual revelations he is convinced
it is his duty, in order to afford the
people an opportunity to rebuke an
evident effort to subvert their will.

Uncle Sam p VS. about fifty-6ve million
dollars year to the railroads for the
transportation of the mails. OF this huge
sum fve million dollars is the annual
rental for the use of the mail cars. And
yet the post-office department has no
official figures showing the actual value oil
the service rendered by the railroads.
The railroads charge the government
more than twice as much as they charge
to express companies for carrying similar
matter. often in the same car Post
master General Hitchcock estimates that
il costs little over nine cents to trans
port pound of mail But the express
companies will haul pound of second
class mail for about 600 miles for less than
one cent. How is this done? The an
swer is evident: The express companies
pay less than one cent pound to the
railroads. while the government is taxed
nine cents.
Is it any wonder the people are clam
oring that little, more than '.investi-
gatingn be done to the railroads and ex-
press companies that have heen practic-
ing this bold up game for so long. and
do you wonder why the railroads believe
in leaving well enough alone''?
What with system Of high rates for
the transportation of mails, end fraud
in weighing. the government IL charged
about fonr thousand dollars a i, ear, it is
estimated, for each postal car that carries
the mail already paid for, A pretty easy
game for the railroad and express COM

Probability that the Wilmington

privilege OF riding ON the lines Of tho
company between certain hours. at a
reduction Of the five-cent straight fare
rate. is being objected TO. particularly
by commercial people. The latter
seem to think that to allow the work
ingman to ride cheaper than anybody
else would be discriminating against
a class OF riders who are source Of
much revenue 10 the company. No
objection is made TO the workingman
getting a cheaper fare than five cents,
but there is objection to the granting
of a cheaper rate to one class Of peo-
pie to the exclusion of others.
These men point out that il costs
more to carry the workingman than

DECLARES FOR EARLE

BY The United Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.-The ac-
tion of United States Senator Penrose,
who has inherited the mantle Of the
late Senator Quay as leader of the
Pennsylvania Republican machine, in
breaking with machine leaders in this
city has astOunded the rank and file
of the party II is admitted today that
it means that the fight of the Progress
sives against the "Old Guard" in the
state and city at last seems certain to
be crowned with success and also
means that the reform element mas
won a struggle lasting over ten years.
Penrose positively endorses George
IL Earle, Jr., as his and the State or
ganization's candidate for Mayor,
turning down Recorder Ware, the can
didate of ths local machine and May 1r
Reyburn. The senator characterizes
Ware as the personification of an indie
fensible contractor system and says
the machine is absolutely responsible
for party revolt IN Philadelphia.
That the most bitter fight in the po-
litical history Of Philadelphia is inn
pending is shown by Penroses state
ment which constitutes an ultimatum
to Reyburn.
Fraud or coercion of office holders
will be promptly and vigorously -e-
sisted regardless Of who is hurt" de-
clares Penrose.
Tho machine leaders today refused
TO discuss the Penross change of front,
but intimated that they thought IL was
made for effect because of the coming
presidential campaign. They insisted
they would control the Republican
convention and would nominate Ware
for Mayor despite Penrose.

Mr.. Moore had retired before the
storm last evening and at 1920 O'Clock
there was a binding flash of light

The heavy rains of the past few
days had caused the lake to become

way were opened yesterday afternoon
to relieve the pressure. These proved
to be too small to carry off the water,
however. and while the storm was at
its heighth several feet OF the bank,
near the gates, broke. Persons at the
scenic railway building heard the
rushing waters. which soon covered
the floor Of the building and the

tinued to run across The roadway as

several hundred men at work clearing
up the place. and it IS thought that
everything will be in working order
by this evening.
