LONG or SHORT ENLIST HENTP
The army reorganization bill intro
duced in the House of Representatives
by Mr.. Hay, Of Virginia, aims to Increase
the period Of enlistment for soldiers
from three years TO five. The plea is
made that such an extension would re-
duce the cost Of recruiting, hut the slight
economy thus effected would be more
than offset by the disadvantages msep-
arabic from longer enlistment term.

DIETS.

The test of the relative utility OF 4
vegetable and meat diet afforded by
| the walk across the country of two
brothers. one eating meat and the other
vegetables. proves nothing declsively, eN'
| cept as respects those two individuals
| Nothing is moro absurd than an attempt
/ TO standardiZe diet and say that any one
| form of it is universally adapted to the
needs of men and invariably preferable
| to any other form. StomachS show all
sorts Of idiosyncrasies. This is A mat
ter of common experience. The nearest
thing TO universal diet is milk for
babies under a year old: yet exceptions
are found even there, for medical prac'
titioners report cases of infants who can
not digest milk and who can he reared
only by the adoption Of some other Kind
of food. Cases of this sort are no doubt
rare. but they teach the danger of at
tempting to deny the old assertion that
what is one mans meat is another man
poison.
Doubtless a vegetable diet IS adapted
10 some individuals and even preferable
in the ease of some To meat diet. But
different men require different feeding
both as respects character and quantity
Every one knows of individuals who are
well nourished on an inconsiderable sup
ply of food and Of others who require
several times as much TO maintain the
same state of bodily repair. To the
brother who went across the country on
vegetables a vegetable diet was adapted.

formance shows that in accordance with
the received opinion Of mankind thriving
