Supply in This Country Finest
in the World.
PLENTIFUL AND BALANCED
C. F. Langworthy, Chief of Nutrition
Investigations, Says Country's
Success Is Result.

That America has the finest food
supply of any country in the world,
and that the plentiful and we'll bal
anced ration is responsible for much
of the success of the United States
as nation. is the conclusion drawn
by c. F. Langworthy, chief of the nu-
tritior Investigations. in a pamphlet
just issued by the Department Of Ag-
riculture.
Mr.. Langworthy goes into the food
| supply of prehistoric man and of ma
tions of which we know but little ex
cept through popular writings, and
states that many of the impressions
that these writers give are erroneous
He says. for instance. that the idea
that the Chinese and Japanese are ma
tiOns Of rice eaters is false. 1t is
true that both these people eat large
quantities of rice. compared with west
ern nations. but that 1T is merely their
chief starchy food. and that it would
be just as accurate to refer to the
United States as nation of wheat
eaters or to say that beans and brown
bread were the exclusive diet In New
England. He says it is surprising to
see what well balanced ration is
common among all nations. though
some take their food in one form and
some in another.
The writer says that prehistoric man
it could be obtained, just as the modern
family is governed largely by circum-
stances and convenience in the makeup
Of its dietary. The early people who
lived close to the water ate largely Of
shellfish and other sea foods and those
farther inland lived on game animals,
birds and their eggs and such grains
and fruits as grew wild.

Havoc in Germantown.

In the fashionab Bile section Of German
town the storm also caused havoc: The
cupola Of ST. MichaePs Church, at High
and Boynton streets, was blown OF.
Jones' Hall, at Germantown avenue and
Sharpnack street, also lost its roof as
Wdid the factory of the American Metal
Company. at Herman street and German
town avenue. Telegraph and telephone
communication was also destroyed, but
up to late hour no lives had been re-
ported lost in this section.
So completely was the Pennsylvania
railroads line to New York tied up that
no trains were sent over the New York
division from this city. and no tickets
to Philadelphia were obtainable at the
New York end of the line.

Diets Suited to Climates,

Turning to the Eskimos. they are taken
as the nearest representatives Of glacial
man on the earth today, and their diet,
consisting largely Of meat, fat and heat
producing food, is suited to their environ
ment, as is the easily obtained vegetable
diet to the inhabitants of the tropics.
In speaking Of the peasants Of Europe
and Ireland, Mr.. Langworthy says that
popular writer's who speak of their al
most exclusive potato diet" fail, as a
rule to observe the SKINNED milk and
bacon that goes with the ration. In the
same way, while rice takes the place Of
wheat in the diet of the Japanese and
Chinesee. they do not perform severe
manual labor on a handful Of rice, as
has been frequently alleged. They always
use a large variety of vegetables, fresh
and preserved fruits. fish and beans and
other legumes. Both races use as large
amounts Of pork and poultry as their
means will allow.
Attention is called also to the fact that
the amount of energy and heat forming
food depends largely on the size Of the
person nourished. In this way studies Of
the dietary Of twenty American profess
sional men and a similar number Of Japa-
nese show that the Japanese get along
with much fewer Galleries" of energy
making material. The fact was, how
ever, that the Americans averaged 40
pounds in weight and the Japanese 1O1
pounds When this difference in size
was considered it brought the food fig
ures much closer together.

Impression of India Wrong.

The popular idea of the natives of In
dia never eating meat is also said to
be erroneous, as little account is taken
of the large quantities Of milk, butter
and "ghee" that enter into the dietary.
Some account is given Of the calorimi-
ter by which the department studies the
energy forming nature of foods, and COM
ment is made on the change since 1850
in the dietary Of some large public in
stitutions where the modern change has
been largely toward incorporating in the
food articles that would have been con-
sidered luXuries sixty years ago.
1t is pointed out that there Is much
greater chance for scientific balancing of
the ration in institutions where much
food is bought and large number fed.
but it is said also that with the spread of
scientific teaching in the public schools
it is possible for modern girls to take
advantage of the advance knowledge and
run households on more scientific, and,
therefore. more economical lines than
heretofore.

HEAVY STORM CAUSES
DEATH AND HEAVY LOSS
High Winds DemoIish Build
ings and Interrupt Train
Schedules in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, March 2S.-A severe
electrical storm. accompanied by a high
wind which at times blew with cyclonic
force, swept over the northern section OF
this city shortly after 6 o'clock last night,
leaving destruction and death in its wake.
Buildings were demolished, houses I'M
rooted and the New York division of the
Pennsylvania railroad was placed out Of
commission temporarily by the demoli-
ton Of its tower at Holmesburg and sta
ton at Tacony, cutting off all Geographic
communication. New York trains were
routed via the Trenton cutoff, which
branch of the Pennsylvania company was
not in the path Of the high winds.
Tacony Is Isolated.
Tacony, the section where the greatest
damage occurred, was completely cut Off
from the rest Of the city. Telegraph.
telephone and trolley wires were blown
to the ground. and 1t was hours before
the details of the catastrophe reached
the central section of the city, where the
storm did not appear. The police sta
ton at Tacony was demolished.
The evening squad Of policemen were
preparing to leave for their beats when
the roof Of the building was blown off
and every window broken by. a sudden
burst Of wind. At the Tacony station
of the Pennsylvania railroad an uniden-
titled man was killed when a portion of
the structure was blown away. Many
houses in this section were unroofed or
completely demolished.
Factories Destroyed.
In the manufacturing section of Ken
sington, in the northeast, toward Tacony,
several factories were destroyed, trolley
wires were blown down and roofs of
houses hurled to the center of the streets.
A corner section Of the three-story brick
factory Of John Blood & Brothers. man.
ufacturers Of woOlens, at Trenton and
Allegheny avenues, more than 100 feet in
width. was torn away, wrecking much
machinery. Three hundred and
fifty men who were employed here, it is
said will be out Of work for at least two
weeks. The factory Of the Enterprise
Cooperage Company. nearby, was struck
by lightning. but the flames were extin-
guished before much damage had been
done.

ADMIRAL TAYLOR
 COMMITS SUICIDE
Won Distinction in the Civil War-Was Medical In-
 spector of Navy

Washington, November 16-Rear Ad- miral John Yeatman Taylor. retired former medical director of the United State navy, and one of the most dis tinguished naval surgeons in the coun- try. ended his life here today by shoot ing himself in the head with a navy pistol, The officer was alone in his study at the time, but the butler, hear ing the report, found him unconscious. He died in a half hour.
 Admiral Taylor was S2 years old and had had notable career as a naval surgeon. His health had long been poor, and the death in an automobile accident at Wilmington, Del, two years ago, of his only son, Andrew Bryson Taylor, was a severe shock to the aged surgeon. He never left the house aft erward, and despondency over this sorrow and the hopeless condition of his health is believed to have prompt ed him to take his life.
 Born in East Nottingham. Pa. Ad- miral Taylor was graduated from Jef- ferson Medical college Tn Philadelphia. 1852, and was appointed assistant sur geon in the United States navy the following year. He was with Farrugui

PRESIDENT BAUCH
 BUYS LIE LEMON The Best Receiver in Texas
 Is Baron MANY OTHER DICKERS Louisville Wants Elliott, Chattanooga Also Is Anxious for Marcan and
 McGilvray-League Meet
OTHER DICKERS
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

San Antonio, Tex, November 16.-(Spe- cial.)-Over list of competitive bidders, President Baugh of Birmingham this aft ernoon bought Lee Lemon, the star catcher of the San Antonio club of the Texas league, for s1ooo Lemon was for merly with Indianapolis. Last season he played in more than 100 games and hit at gait of .299. He was ranked as the best catcher in this circuit and George Leidy, well known to Birmingham fans. declares that he will star in the Southern.
 Other than this Birmingham has made no deals in San Antonio. Louisville has offered s12O0 for Rowdy Elliott, but MT. Baugh has determined in case of sale of the catcher to let either Nashville, Mo- bile or Chattanooga have him. These three clubs. incidentally. are anxious to acquire McGilvray and Marcan also. There are free bidders for Mcbride, although deal is pending now between Baugh and President Clymer of the New York State league.
 Chattanooga, as stated yesterday, has disposed of Lejune to Grand Rapids. Pres ident Andrews has Sentell and Lister on the market. He is anxious to get Elliott to catch Covaleskie and McGlvray to take Listers place. President Baugh has offered him Elliott for Pitcher Carmichael and $10e0.
 Montgomery today bought from Brook lyn Pitcher Atchison. last season with Nashville, and Outfieder Stingle. who stared last year in Wisconsin. It Is un- derstood that Nashville expressed a willingness that Atchison be sold to Mont Gomery.
 Pitcher Somers, who made great repu- tation last season with Dayton, was turned over to Montgomery today by the Brooklyn club on optional agreement, and Manager Dobbs is rejoicing.
 Mike Finn, late scout of the New York Giants, announced today that he had ac- cepted terms to manage Mobile next sea- son. He and Secretary c. c. Collson have been endeavoring to turn a few tricks, but none of them have materialized.
 President Coleman of Memphis says that he has made no trades at all.
 As 1t is generally conceded that the next convention of minor leagues will be held in Hot Springs, Chattanooga and Mobile have determined not to press their invitation to the convention.
 It has been agreed by the Southern eaguers present to hold the annual meet ing of the league December 15 in Lit tie Rock, in compliment to Judge Kava- naugh.
 Considerable figuring has been done in reference to salary limit for next sea- son Several of the magnates have e. pressed themselves in favor of an agree ment whereby the limit shall be s3500 for | Is men, to be approximately reduced in | case less than 16 men are carried.

on the Oneida in the battle of Mobile Bay during the civil war. and in that encounter won distinction.
 Recognition came rapidly to Dr. Tay- Tor. He became medical inspector in 1872 and medical director in 1879, and was retired In 1891. He also served as fleet surgeon and was in charge of naval hospitals at Washington, Nor folk and New York. In recognition of his civil war service he was ad- vanced to the rank of rear admiral in 1898 Just before the outbreak of the civil war he left the naval service ten- porarily and went into the then ter ritory of Washington as an Indian, fighter. While there he made map of the country and the entire Pacific coast, submitting an exhaustive report to the war department, which, although never published. contained much val uable data.

This much may be said of if now when the fair is not half over It was opened Tuesday at 12 noon by Mayor Folmar. who gave an address of welcome to a number of people assembled on the fair ground. Since that time interest has been growing and there is no sign Of waning spirit today.
 The people of the rural sections of this county have shown loyal interest In the progress of this section by coming to the support of this new institution of Pike county. Farmers from every section of the county have come, are still coming, and do not come alone. but they priRg their wives and their children, the crown being estimated from 4O00 to 6c0o during the day, the night attendance excepted Every one was in an hilarious temper and rowdyism and bad conduct of any Klho was not openly manifested.
 School day was observed Wednesday, The Troy State Normal college, the Troy city schools, and all the rural schools ol pike county were allowed to suspend ex' ercise yesterday and attend the nrst tali of this county.
 An admirable feature of the exhibits or display is that they represent an average quality of what the county really pro duces without any tendency to exagger' ate. The selections were from the crops as thee grew on the farms and not iron a pet or prize patcn.
 The Pike county boys corn club marcn' cd out to the fair ground in body, cacf carrying his own little contribution te their exhibit. The best exhibit to DC seen was the Pike County Girls Cannine club There was a great variety of can ned goods, and all coming from ever, member of the club. The members o the club grew their own crops and ther canned specimens of what they grew showing their ability to produce and t' save. The live stock exhibit was also excel lent. Aside from many brought in Iron the country. town people took lively in tefest in this exhibit. and sent out snei best horses and mules and rnilch cows. The racing has been the chief attrac ton at the fair ground and has aroused much interest and enthusiasm from tn
 spectators.

Packers Criticised

upon the decision of United States su- preme court in the Standard oil case.
 Packers Criticised
 Attorney Sheehan criticised sharply a portion, of the packers petition, par ticularly referring to the following par agraph:
 "That the trial of your petitioners on said indictment will consume at least six months in the district court and will necessitate the hearing of many hundreds of witnesses and will your petitioners and will entail great and endless hardships upon them, all of which will be a complete loss and waste of the said act of Congress is unconstitutional and void as herein before set forth, that the bills herein have been determined by the supreme court and the case presents special cir cumstances and is one of exceptional importance"
 "Sifted down, what does this mean?'' asked the attorney Tt means simply that because of the cost to these de- fendants if this matter takes it's reg ular course they set up that the writ should be issued to provide short cut to the supreme court.
 "The mere charge that 1t Is expen- sive Is no reason for taking this case from the district court to the circuit court with the purpose of providing a short cut to the United States supreme court"
 Levy Mayer presented argument for defendants in reply to Attorney Shee- han. He took up the decision of Unit ed States District Judge Carpenter on May 12, 1911, in refusing to grant the application of the packers for de- murrer based on the decision of the federal supreme court in the Standard oil case.
 We desire to get quick, a short a decisive way of adjudicating the ques- tion of the constitutionality of this law" said Attorney Mayer. If that be an offense, we bow our heads and talk C che consequences.
 q wish to say that I believe the dispute over the validity Of the crim- inal clause of the Sherman antitrust act is the greatest handicap to bus mess in all lines since the free silver agitation"
