HORACE FLETCHER, 63 TODAY,
 INVENTED ART OF CHEWING

Horace Fletcher, author. lecturer. traveller, sociologist and .chewologist, was born sixty-three years ago today in Lawrence, Mass, and has attained international fame as the inventor of the art Or science of mastication. Be- fore MT Fletcher made his epochal discovery, chewing was. practically un- known, except among tobacco "chaw- ens'' and COWS, and those addicted to the gum habit What was called mas tication of food was merely bolting, and. this practice led to multitude of ills, which pills and powders could not cure Men blamed their troubles on their food, and sought relief in a change of diet. They were wrong. as MT. Fletcher will tell you, and as he found by bitter experience. His health wrecked by too close attention to bus mess, he tried every known remedial method for restoring his stomach and nerves to a normal condition All failed until it occurred to him that possibly imperfect mastication had something to do with causing his faul- ty nutrition. He experimented with his theory, chewing every mouthful of food until it was reduced to the con- dition of muSh and was carried down his throat by the attraction of gravi- tation. or something. without any con- scious effort of swallowing. In a little while his condition began to improve and soon he was jerked from the jaws of jeopardy to perfect health and phy- sical and mental well being It all sounds very much like patent med icine ad, but the system has the ad- vantage of costing nothing to try, and tens of thousands have testified that they have found the science of chew ology a cure for what ailed them, from corns to insanity.
 Mir Fletcher was educated at Dart
 mouth College, and for nearly half a century has been chronic globe-trot- ter. He has lived and traveled in all parts of the world, and has engaged in numerous occupations, winning a fortune that has enabled him to spend his later years in spreading the glad gospel of chewing among suffering humans. and at the same time dis proving the ancient adage that roll- ing stone gathers no moss. His sci ence of nutrition, now generally known as "Fletcheriem' has attracted the favorable attention of physicians in all countries, and is now generally recommended by all schools of medi- cine. Mr. Fletcher is not a faddist and has never attacked or. antagonized

REVIEWS
 FROM Our Exchanges
SAFETY ON RAILROADS.
(Hartford Times.)


 In the past twenty years, so we learn from the Louisville Courier Journal, the Queen and Crescent rail- road has not killed single passen- ger but during the twelve months ending July it's records showed 16 employees killed and 974 injured. For this the road paid in damages SIPS. 600.
 The roads record as to passengers is unusually admirable. In the mat ter of accidents to employees it's fig ures are probably those of most sim liar corporations, but it seeks to re- duce them even lower. Therefore 1t is holding meetings of employees and officials on all it's various divisions. The result is the format ton of safety committees, from the activities of which it is hoped much benefit may arise.
 Many steps looking toward the safe ty of passengers have been taken these past few years; indeed objec- ton to. being killed while travelling by rail has of late become almost as pronounced on the part of Americans as it has long been among Germans and other continental peoples, where the close relation between railroads and governments has at least resulted in making the factor of safety very high. Less has been done for the safety of employees and railroad em- pIoyeeS nave gwen many examples as to the truth of the adage that fla miliarity breeds contempt. They will take chances.
 Damage charges are among the best things to inspire thought on the part of remote and minimizing stockholders concerning the value of safety appli- ances They also inspire thought on the advisability of limiting train speeds, for although railroads must run to schedule and although the crack trains get the gilt edge travel. not to mention the advertising they bring in, certain recent mishaps have suggested to those high in authority the unwisdom of carrying the thing too far. And back of it all, as far as the employees are concerned, we still have to reckon with the indivfd- ual temperaments of experienced rail- road men who will take those chances.
 Bringing official and operatives to- gether in the common cause of safety, as the Queen and Crescent has done, seems to be good thing. The ele- ment of danger must be always pres ent in railroading. It should not be increased by needless risk And when railroad operatives can be induced or compelled to avoid that risk they will greatly reduce the mortality in their ranks.

HOLDING zOAR BRIDGE. fMeriden JournaiA

On Saturday the local military com panies will leave to take part in the mimic war which, in an imaginary way, is to devastate portions of our fair commonwealth next week. The first work cut out for the Meriden soldiers is to seize Zoar bridge on the Housatonic and hold it until rein forced by a Maine regiment.
 The whole campaign is one which will give the local military a taste of conditions as near real warfare as possible and that they will come home better and wiser warriors is what is being aimed at. That they can be depended on making an excellent showing is a matter about which we feel so certain that we hereby dare anyone to come on and try to take Zoar bridge away with them after Captain DeCantillion and Captain Proudnn4n get there Saturday.

and censures for the legitimate prop agation of the human family, and every nation that has any sense of loyalty and patriotism whatsoever is desirous of seeing it's children increase in numbers. There is no spectacle more delightful to the eye than the contemplation of a mother surround ed by her children. She is compared in Scripture to vine laden with grapes. It is bad enough to see na- tion's sons depleted by the fierce rav- ages of war, but it is much more mel ancholy to contemplate a nation vol untarily destroying it's own progeny"

 "Yes, it is.'' replied the cardinal "and I admire him very much for that along with some of his other pr;nci- pies. I compare race suicide to the murder of the. innocents perpetrated by King Herod."

CT by retailers, it still says the profits of the latter are not abnormal-as is constantly in evidence in business re- suits among them. The most serious element of waste, it thinks, is in de- fective transportation and distribution about the city and lack of properly placed room for cold storage. In a city of 5000, 900 people, like New York. this easily becomes an enormous fac tor with perishable products. From what is known of cold storage opera tions, it is certainly likely enough that they are used too generally for speculative purposes in long time stor- age, like that of eggs, while storage for short periods that would prevent needless waste in current trade is neglected.
 The committee thinks the substitu- tion of large unit retail stores capable of supplying 25,0O0 to 50,000 people each with cold and general storage fa- cilities, would cut down this waste and needless cost by about half Such large retail establishments would probably prove impracticable among people welded to the neighborhood market But as distributing centers and points of storage there would seem to be a. place for them of econo- my and usefulness.

BATTLE OF BULL MOOSE RUN. IA A

(New York Hera1d.)
 The Third Termer does not appear to be able to get away from Arma- geddon. He thought the regular re- publican national convention held in Chicago last June was Arnageddon, and shouted at the end of the first of many speeches he made there, We stand at Armageddon and battle for the Lord'' But it proved to be not Arma geddon, but Waterloo
 Now again he cries at the end of his new, confession of faith, we stand at Armageddon and battle for the Lord.''
 Therefore let 1t be the battle cry.
 But soon or late, perhaps not until the cold gray dawn of the morning after election, they will all know that 1t isn't the battle of Armageddon that they are fighting but the battle of Bull Moose Run
