There are two points in regard TO
the diet in health which should al

rich or poor. One is efficiency OF nu'
triton and the other palatability.
These are two things which are most
important from the mere point OF nu-
triton. A food should be OF a char
acter TO nourlsh the body and at the
same time do 1t efficiently. Efficiency
also indicates economy.
Terrapin is probably as nutritious
as turkey but II would be poor econ

ed. the greatest economy in food Is
found in that diet which consists chief
" OF cereals, but man, being by ma
ture an omniverous animal, at least
this Is the opinion of the great major
ity of investigators, cannot have his
dietetic activities confined to one class
of substances as this would not be
in harmony with the principles OF gen.
eral nutrition.
Wheat for instance is an efficient
and economic diet and to a certain
extent palatable, but If one were fed
wheat alone, although he would not
need any. additional nutritive ele-
ments, he certainly would get tired
of his diet.
On the other hand il Is well known
that certain kinds OF game, such as
quail. cannot be eaten great many
DAYS in succession without produc-
ing sn apparent distaste therefor.
Hence palatability is OF as great I'M
portance as economy and efficiency
of nutrition.

Palatability has much to do with
digestion because the palatable foods
are those which best excite the secre-
tons of the digestive ferments and
thus favor dissolution and absorption
OF the food materials. At the same
time science and experience should
not be without effect in modifying the
diet of mere choice and in this way
one will learn perhaps to eat less
meat and more vegetables than other
wise would be the case.
Meat, being a quickly digested sub
stance and extremely palatable, when
properly prepared, would naturally
form a large part of the diet to the
exclusion of materials more slowly
digested and less palatable, but sci
ence and experience have shown that
by combining these two classes OF
Ioodc in proper proportion the avail

SITUATION AYR A GLANCE.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, March 2S.-
Seven large coal companies with 125
similar corporations OF lesser guam
tity and about 10000 miners, COM
prise the two principal elements in
the anthracite controversy on the eve
OF a threatened disastrous strike.
or the nine demands formulated by
the miners, negotiations for adjust
ment are expected on only one or
them Schedule s, which calls for an
advance of 20 per cent on the present
rate OF wages, will be the pivotal
will return.
Ii Is not possible TO give the exact
amount the miners demands would
add to the companies payrolls. The
minimum wage scale mentioned in
demand six is now variable guam
tity. depending on the company and
character OF work.
Demand four has for its object the
abolition of the Cancellation board, a
council created by the anthracite
strike commission in 1902. II will
not be important. Demand six Will
be waived by the men on n general
percentage increase over the rates
now paid for this class of work.
The first demand, fixing the term
OF the contemplated agreement, will
not be significant and may be elm
mated.
The third demand, having for its
object the check off system whereby
the union dues are stopped from the
pay OF the members at the mine will
not be tolerated BY the companies.
ON this point they are positive. On
the other hand, it is an important
schedule for the men, as is the de-
mand for an increase in pay.
The controversy will be fought on
the 90 per cent raise in rates now
paid and the recognition of the union.
The union officials insist that recog-
milton Of the union will be one OF the
concessions OF the companies. This
would mean practically closed
shop" and be powerful weapon in
times or further disputes.
Regardless OF how the officials feel
toward this demand thorough can
yass among the men themselves by a
United Press correspondent reveals
the impression that the rank and file
OF the employees will not hold out for
strike on this question.
From a close investigation among
the miners the conclusion follows that
upon a referendum vote, the men will
go back to work for a 10 per cent in
crease. Anything less than this, how
ever, will find them stubborn and de-
termined.
