WATER DRINKING WITH MEALS.

Pursuant to a tradition Of long
standing, it is common custom 70
forbid the drinking OF water at meal
time. There was time when such
advice appeared most reasonable.
Professor Hawk and his pupils at
the University Of Illinois have been
investigating, during the past few
years, the correctness OF the current
attitude toward this question,
with results quite at variance with
the traditional idea. When the influ-
ence of waterdrmking with meals
was examined by direct experiment
Oh man the alleged direful consequenr
ces were found missing. There were
no apparent i'll effects. On the con-
trary, the general conclusion from all
rhe findings was that If water is TAX
en- with meals there is a better di-
geS: On and a more complete u'flza-
ton of food. A pronounced Improve
ment in the dtgest'bilty Of fat waB
also observed.
Since there is a cons ami tendency,
at least among persons whose know
ledge of the given subject is slight,
to carry to extremes conclusions de-
riv d from experiments, it seems
worth while to add warning against
The ind,scriminate and excessive use
Of large quantities Of wafer. Further
more. nothing that has been said Is
intended 10 lend any support to the
American custom Of drinking water
that is ice cold. The experiments OF
Hawk and his pupils indicate that our
ideas with regard TO the drinking Of
water must be revised, but we must
wait for reports Of observations from
a larger body Of observers. In the
meantime, says The Journal Of the
American Medical Association, We
may allow water more freely with
meals subject 10 the individual ex-
ceptSous which experience brings out.

 If MT. Flinn has his way, the third term party movement will come to nothing in Pennsylvania. If Col.

HONOR TO A
 SKILLFUL LUTHER

William L. Peters, dean of New England violin makers, has recently been the recipient of a very great honor.
 Bernhard Listemann, beloved of violinists the world over, and Presi- dent of the. Chicago Chapter of the American Guild of Violinists, has conferred upon the Hartford Luthier the prestige of membership in the or- fer.
 The greatest living violinists esteem Ass recognition above all other as a @aHrd for superior merit.
 George Eliot, in that wonderful tri- 5use to a craftsman, said, with su- perb audacity, that without Antonius Stradivarious, God could not have treated that most perfect of all inr struments-the violin.
 Perhaps it is in an unconscious ack- aowledgement of this fact that Lista- mann, the peerless teacher, has in.

BOSS vs. COLONEL.
(New York Times.)


 A conflict of Machiavellian political wits has broken out between Col. Roosevelt and Boss Finn of Pitts burgh Finn, having in full view the emoluments and advantages of being master of his party in Penn sylvania, devised subtle plan for taking care of himself, no matter what might happen to the colonel. He proposed naming one set of electors whose names should go on the regu- lar ticket, and also on the third par ty ticket, each e1ector being pledged to vote for MT. Taft if the regular ticket should have the highest num- Der of votes in November, for MT. Roosevelt if he should come out at the top of the poll. The effect of this arrangement would be to give thu 38 electoral votes Of the state oi Pennsylvania to MT. Taft. It is not to be supposed that the Democratic vote there will exceed the united vote of the regular Republicans and the third termers The state would remain in the control of the Repub- lican party, and MT. Finn would be in control of that.
 Col. Roosevelt will not have it SC. He is sure that the report abou

PROTECT WATER COURSES

at -5s4 1g . s' z z s
 The bulletin of the state board of health for July, contains a fine recem- mendation for typhoid serum. which is commented as an item of. the daily diet of the citizen. Some recent en- campments of soldiers have been all most, or quite free from typhoid. In these encampments enormous care was given to sanitation. but typhoid serum was also infected into the veins of the men.
 The doctors give all the glory to the serum, though the mere circum- stance of cleanliness has as effective ly given quietus to many another dis ease
 The. point bears upon the proposal to encamp soldiers in the neighbor- hood of Bridgeport's water supply This would be. dangerous thing to do.
 The State Board of Health believes it would be a dangerous thing to do. This conclusion is reached by deduc- tion. Since the State Board recom- mends serum treatment, it does not believe the doctors know how to pre- vent typhoid by sanitation. Therefore the presumption is strong that the sur- geons in charge of the camp will have plenty of typhoid about They will have so much they will ask the sol diers to be injected with typhoid germs. t
 If the soldiers need serum protec- tion against typhoid germs so, do the water courses, for. if the latter be- come infected. the people of Bridge port will get the diseases, and the peo- pie of Bridgeport haven't much choice between typhoid and typhoid serum, not being so certain as to all the pres ent and ultimate physical .conse- quences of taking quantities of dead germs into the circulatory system, which old dame nature has so care fully protected from everything but serum tterapy.

this company would, in the first place, be a moral injustice, and, in the sec ond place, would be reversal of the correct and advanced modern policy of the President in dealing with cor porate business.
 There clearly, we are on the trail of a principle To begin the suit would have been "a moral injustice" The moral quality is inherent in most principles, if they be really good and correct principles. The non-purSuit of the Harvester Trust may possibly, therefore, be accepted as one Of the principles of the progressive move menl Principles should have their practical side. too. This Harvester principle has one. Tt is a very prac- Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith to President Roosevelt, whether it is we'll to throw away now the great influence of the so-called Morgan irl- terests, which up to this time have supported the advanced policy of the Administration
 We have an impression, which it would require evidence to remove, that we have here struck one of the foun- dation principles of the Bull Moose Party-not to prosecute Perkins and the. Harvester Trust. MT. Smith says openly that he earnestly tried to fur ther'' the progressive principles. As to the Harvester case principle, his earnest efforts are of record. Presi- dent Roosevelt was in full accord with his Commissioner of Corporations, ap- parently, for on Aug. 22, a month be- fore -- received MT. smiths letter he wrote to Attorney General Bona-- parte. Twill you see MT. Perkins ana Commissioner Smith and go over the matter in full, and report to me there, on? Please do not file the suit until I hear from you.'' Thus the tie of moral principle binds in union sweet these accordant minds.

 Much has been said and done to create the impression that the Amer ican voter is a weak and helpless creature who must be cared for. The assumption is that he is powerless to accomplish anything.

CANAL BILL PROTEST.
 (Philadelphia Press


 The British protest against our Pan anna Canal legislation still before Con- gress doubtless has a Canadian in spirt1on. The bill at present excludes steamships owned by railroads from the use of the canal This is objec- clude the Pacific railroad, so a British protest is made against this feature.
 Another provision of the bill gives vessels in the. American coasting trade the free use of the canal. This is to make sure that the ships sailing from through the canal will be able to compete with the overland railroads. Great Britain protests against this, though British and Canadian vessels are excluded from the American coasting trade anyhow American vessels not coasters are in the same category as to canal tolls as foreign vessels.
 There is no equity in the British protest. This country has built the canal at an enormous expense It is. responsible for the interest on the a little advantage to its own coasting vessels it's superior rights as con- structor of the canal do not amount to much. The prohibition of rail- road-owned vessels from the canal is one of the doubtful merits and it down. It is blind attempt to in- sure competition, but if the American railroads build steamships for foreign trade they are doing a good service and ought to be encouraged, not pun ished
 The whole matter turns on the prop CT interpretation of the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty, and until the pending bill Is enacted nothing automatically can be- done about it. If Congress is in duced te consider the matter little more thoroughly, particularly the pro vision excluding from the canal rail- road-owned ships. the effect of the British protest may prove beneficial.
