at will. In that case an army on
the march would never have to
trouble itself about it's wagon
trains. When we went for a day in
the country we should not need to
load ourselves with lunch baskets.
We could dispense with our broad
fields of wheat and corn, our gar
dens full of vegetables, our or
chards of fruit trees. We could
abolish forever the nuisance of the
stock yards, checkmate, once for
all, the cornerers of foodstuffs and
put an immediate end to the high
price of living
But science has tried in vain to
manufacture protoplasm. Never
theless, something has recently
been done in Germany which seems
to offer the promise that, if we
can not actually make protoplasm,
we may be able to turn the corner
by making food which will do it's
work. DR.. Abderhalden has sue
ceeded in manufacturing in his lab
oratory a chemical food on which
young dogs have been brought up
strong, healthy and lively-appar-
emily just as good dogs as if they
had been nourished upon their nat
ural food.
DR.. Abderhalden has arrived at
this result by first studying the
transformations that take place in
the course of digestion. Finding
that, during this process, certain
peculiar acids are formed, which
act a controlling part in the subse-
quent transformations. he set to
work to make these acids artifi-
cially, and he says that he has sue
ceeded, and proves his assertion
by the evidence of his dogs. |

tried his chemical food upon man.
but that would naturally be the
next step, 1t would not be worth
while to strain all the resources of
chemistry simply for the benefit of
dogs.
In fact, animals would if they
could comprehend the subject, very
gladly lend themselves to such ex-
periments, the ultimate result of
which is to free them from the fate
of being killed and eaten by their
masters. Who knows but that
when chemical foods have been
perfected they may be delicious
and so easily digested that any
guormand would turn up his nose
at the most succulent turkey or the
most skillfully cooked lobster?
Seriously, this is a very impor-
tant matter Man, who has so
amazingly emancipated himself
from natures limitations in the
field of mechanical energy. owes
it to himself to attain similar
emancipation in regard to the
maintenance of his vital energies.
And, sooner or later HE WILL DO
1T.

On a Diet
BY N. P. BABCoCK.

tn INES were when we were
stricken
With an ailment or a pain,
They gave us drugs that sicken,
BY the teaspoon or the grain.
They all were somewhat nasty
When prescribed for any case,
And the taste was very Tasty,
And it made you make a face
But twas nothing to the portion
OF the woes you now must bear,
Since the docs have added caution
To your other stomach care.
You seek some pang to quiet
That you've never felt since birth,
Whereupon they order diet
Which is simply hell on earth.
All meats they call the red ones,
And all pastry cakes and sweets,
Are appetizing dead ones"
In the schedule of your eats"
The frying pans aroma
May no more your sense delight;
A gustatory coma
Is the only state that's right
Did any vegetable
Hold a special JOY for you
You must declare you're able
Just that one now TO eschew.
All sauces that are pleasant
Are a sort of DEVILS broth;
You stare like starving peasant
AT foodless table cloth.
And misery completing
Is the rule that's understood:
"5e regular in eating,
But eat nothing that tastes good"

The Loophole.

Their theory is that perhaps she
didn't do it. and if she did do it she
probably had good reasons for do
ing it, and the other party ought
TO have been killed anyway, and.
anyhow, they are not going to send
woman to the electric chair or to
prison for life, especially if she is
good looking.
An American jury dealing with a
woman criminal is gallantry gone
to seed but it doesn't make for
justice, and it does make it per-
fectly safe for any lady with golden
hair and a willowy figure to go out
and shoot any man against whom
she gets peeved. Also, it makes it
profitable for other tender young
creatures with blackmailine tend

advantages.
Certainly the cases that come up
IN the children's court, in which the
relation between parents and chill

must be settled, should be tried be-

mothers, with a mothers knowl-

Also, it is nothing but fair that
all divorce cases, and cases that IN
volve the relations Of men and
women, should be tried before
mixed jur1es. No woman is capable
of understanding men any more
than man is capable Of under
standing a woman, and 1t needs the
combined wisdom of both to strike
the just mean in such cases.
Another good reason why women
should be on juries is that they
have both time and inclination for
1t, whereas men seldom have either,
1t is notorious that men will 60

evade jury duty, whereas women
would like it.
In every community there are
numbers of women of intelligence

n FTER a recent very fragrant
N miscarriage of justice in a
murder trial in which a
woman was the defendant, the trial
judge expressed the opinion that it
would be necessary to have women
juries to try women criminals, be-
cause if a woman was young and
good looking it was practically i'm
possible to get men to convict her,
no matter how strong the evidence
was against her.
Judge Mary Bartelme, the first
woman ever honored with a call to
the bench in Illinois, who will sit
as associate judge with Judge Mer-
rift c. Pinckney in the Juvenile
court, takes the same view of the
necessity for woman jurors. She
believes in mixed juries, and Gays;
The Metamorphosis.
Women on juries will change
lots of things for the better. You
will find that lawyers must depend
on the legitimate facts If they hope
to impress mixed juries. Women
will puncture a good many bal
looms that prove good for dizzy
flights in the courts nowadays"
Undoubtedly both of these dis
tinguished jurists are right. There
is not only room fer women in the
jury box, but there is crying need
for them there. Our greatest two
pieces Of national humor have been
that in a democracy one-half of the
people had no voice in government,
and that in a trial by jury, which
guarantees to every one a trial by
his peers women were tried by
men.
And this latter joke Is given a
further point by the fact that men
frankly admit that they don't I'M
derstand women and are not up to
the tricks and manners Of even the
smallest girl child.
1t has been said that the strang-
est thing on earth is how twelve
intelligent men can get together
and act like one old woman. Thee
next strange thing is how twelve
hard-headed, practical business
men dissolve into a sentimental
mush when they get in a jury box.
Apparently they don't weigh evil
dence, nor take probabilities into
account. nor Use any common sense
in judging character and motives if
they are trying a woman. All that
the defense has to do is to talk
platitudinously about home and
mother" little children and angel
wings and wronged innocence, and
the jury will file solemnly out and
bring in a verdict of mot guilty"
no matter how clearly it has been
proven that the murderess had
committed a cold blooded and de-

Jorge Bielenberg Dead.

Jorge Bielenberg, for many years
vice consul at Matamoros, died early
on Saturday morning. and the funeral
took place from Hinkley's undertake
ing rooms in the afternoon.
Mr.. Bielenberg was well known to
both the old and newer residents
of Brownsville, and had many
friends here.
He was born in Holstein. Ger
many in 1919, and came to Mata-
moros, in 1874, which city al his
residence until his death. He was a
matchmaker by trade, and for many
years followed that calling, being
an expert in the business.
A nephew resides at Deer Lodge.
Montana, and is the only known
relative on this sled of the Atlantic.
Mr.. Bielenberg had a suite of
room overlooking the Plaza de Hi
dalgo and usually dined at Der
roselts' French restaurant, and was
a familiar figure to all its patrons.
He was interested in several Next
can real estate projects, but II Is
not known in just what shape hi:
interests were.
Mr.. Bielenberg was apparently in
good health until recently, when his
mind commenced failing. and his
actions became so strange that he
was adjudged insane and ordered tC
be taken to the asylum. The opin-
ion of the examining physicians was
that he was suffering from paresis
and that death would only be a mat
ter Of time, although his demise was
not expected so quickly.
Mr.. %Bielenberg was always genial
and took delight in showing visitor:
the various haciendas around Mata-
moros and explaining to them Mexi-
can life and customs. He was al
ways ready to go out of his way tC
do a kindly act, and the news of his
death is learned with sorrow by {
large circle of acquaintances.

Train Of Refrigerator Cars from
Lower Valley Comes to Grief in
Houston, in Freight Smash-up.

A broken flange on the VII OF
a freight car Is responsible FOR the
donation OF a lot of valuable Lower
Rio Grande Valley produce to the
fishes of Buffalo Bayou at Houston
last Friday. BY lof those strange
accidents, which only a railroad man
can explain satisfactorily, a train of
refrigerator cars which were being
handled by a terminal company went
down into the stream carrying with
them a portion Of the bridge over
which they had been passing. The
Post says:
The train OF refrigerator cars was
a portion of the present large ship
ments coming from the Lower Rio
Grande Valley and Brownsville
country. Curiously, this bridge was
second on the trip OF the cars that
gave trouble. The train was detour-
ed from the Brownsville railroad
into Houston over the San Antonio
and Arkansas Pass railroad on account
OF a defective or burned bridge at
Port Lavaca river.
