York headquarters conceded that
Roosevelt had carried Illinois.
Governor Deneen apparently is de-
feated for governor by his Democratic
rival Edward F. Dunno, who ran like
wild in Chicago. He carried Cook
county by 10000 Frank H. Funk,
Progressive entrant against Deneen,
ran surprisingly strong and disap-
pointed the Deneen managers in this.
Democratic Senators Probable.
Illinois may sent two Democratic
senators to Washington next year.
The Democrats have captured con-
troll of the house of representatives
of the Illinois legislature, it is
thought, and have increased their rep
resentation in the senate. Control
of the latter chamber still is in doubt,
but the big lead in the house gives as
surance that the party will have a
plurality of the joint ballot of the two
houses and be able to dictate the
choice of the two United States sena-
tors to be elected in January
James Hamilton Lewis is the Demo-
cratic candidate to succeed Senator
Shelby M. Cullom, Mr.. Lewis having
received the Endorsement of his par
ty for the choice without opposition
at the April primary.
In filling the vacancy caused by the
expulsion of William Lorimer from
the senate the legislature will be free
to make it's own selection, inasmuch
as the voters have had no opportunity
to express themselves in the matter
of a primary election.

THE REFEREE BOARD
REPORT ON sAccHARlN


The Referee Board Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture has reported that
saccharin in small quantities added
to food is without harmful or poison
GUS action, and is not injurious to the
health Of normal adults, so far as is
ascertainable by available methods of
study but that in large quantities
taken for considerable periods Of
time, it is liable to induce disturb
ances Of digestion. It concludes that
the addition Of saccharin to food as a
substitute for sugar reduces the food
value OF the sweetened product and
hence reduces its quality. The deci-
sion Of the government to exclude
saccharin from commercial use in
foods must appeal to everyone as cor
rect and inevitable, says The Journal
Of the American. Medical Association
in a recent editorial. No intelligent
Individual tan have supposed that a
few milNgrams Of saccharfn are the
nutritiYe equivalent Of the sugar, the
absence. Of which it conceals.

wATER-DkINkINe WITH MEALS

Pursuant to a tradition OF long
standing, it is common custom to
forbid the drinking Of water at meal
time. There was a 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 influence
Of Water-drinking with meals was ex-
amined by direct experiment on man
the alleged direful consequences were
found missing. There were no appar-
emit i'll effects. On the contrary, the
general conclusion from ali the find
ings was that if water is taken with
meals there is better digestion and
a more complete utilization Of food.
A pronounced Improvement is the
digestibiltiy of fat was also observed.
Since there is a constant tendency,
at least among persons whose knowl-
edge Of the given subject is slight, to
carry to exertmes conclusions derived
from experiments, it seems worth
while to add a warning against the
indiscriminate and excessive use Of
large quantities Of water. Further
more. nothing that has been said Is
intended to 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 larger body Of observers. In
the meantime, says The Journal of the
American Medical Association. we
may allow water more freely with
meals, subject to the individual ex-
ceptions which experience brings out.
