Of the diplomatic corps in Washington.

lization and review of the Asiatic fleet

Food Faddists.

Thanks to the scientific writers in the
magazines-says the Journal of the
American Medical Association = and
their dogmatism, the public will be-
come educated regarding dietetics,
while the layman has settled in his mind
many questions that among the profes;
sion are still under discussion. 1t is
the faddists-the raw food eaters, &c
who are to blame for popularity accept
ed theories on questions of nutrition.
To prove its contention the Journal
cites the controversy between the vege-
tarians and the meat eaters. When
some years ago Yale professor told
the world that it was probably eating
too much meat, the vegetarians were
greatly elated, and at once proceeded
to use the professors experiments, with
the aid of popular writers, into an argu-
ment in favor of vegetarianism. On
the other hand, when a major of 'the
Indian Medical Service published the
results of his study of some vegetable
eating races in India of inferior ply
sique and bad character generally, the
meat eaters declared joyfully that the
Yale professors theories had been dis
proved.
Both conclusions. of course, were
wrong. and the middle-of-the-road man
gets nearest to the truth. Just as too
much meat is harmful to the body, so
is lack of any meat in the diet The
digestive machinery of man seems to
work better with mixed than with any
single type of fuel. And as for the
faddists and their cocksure opinions on
diet, it would seem that it requires
certain amount of scientific training to
avoid forming an opinion when one
has. no basic knowledge

Smaller Sized Paper Money.

The Secretary of the Treasury short
ly will be able to give the people new
bills to take the place of old ones for
the same amount; but for the present
he intends to confIne this reform to
notes only that were issued by the gov
eminent, leaving national bank notes to
the future.
These new notes will be considerably
smaller in size than those in use at
present, so that artistic effect will be
subordinated to convenience in usage.
Each denomination will have distinct
i've style, which will be a great improve
ment, as it will facilitate the labor of
counting. thing that no doubt will be
highly appreciated by bank tellers, CASH

over big piles of money with rapidity
This will be a great deal better than

values were not nearly so plain as the

RECRUIT JOINS

James U. Kelley Speaks at the
PEOPLES Forum" on Re-
eovery of Liberty.
PETWORTH CITIZENS ACT

James L. Kelley addressed the
Peoples Forum last night, at Pennsyl-

recovery of liberty by the citizens Of the
District of Columbia. Mr. Kelley IS

espoused the cause OF the District OF

close resemblance TO the late Mark
Twain. He was listened to last evening
with great interest by those who heard
him.
MIR. Kelley depIored present conditions
in the District. describing the people as
one devoid of liberty and enslayed by
tyranny as oppressive and unreasonable
as any that ever kindled the fires or
revolution in the history Of mankind. He
said the District of Columbia lost its
liberty through no fault of its own after
seventy years Of self-rule. The change
was effected secretly without consulting
the people or allowing them a voice n
the matter. and in helplessness and :.
dazed condition OF mind citizens have
been waiting. working and hoping for =
return Of liberty since 1s7a
Favors HaIf-and-haIf Plan
Mr.. Kelley likened the condition of the
District 20 that OF Ireland. shorn OF its
rights in 1soO by the overthrow of its par
lament. and the usurpation which has
brought almost serfdom to its people and
had fed the fires of political friction and
strife for home rule for a century Again
Mr.. Kelley likened the District to Poland.
crushed by outside powers and its terri
tory partitioned between Austria. Russia
ard Prussia. The speaker also said the
condition OF the District reminded him
OF Mexico under the Diaz regime. when
its liberties were crushed by a dictator
under the name Of the republic OF Mex
iC.
Mr.. Kelley touched upon the half and
half principle of the payment of eX-
pc nses. declaring II TO be right in equity.
and that it should be maintained. but
he saw in II no reason why the Fed
eral government, because II pays half
the expenses. should usurp all the func-
tions Of rule. He declared that in fact
the people OF the District paid their
half OF the municipal expenses by tax
alton. and a proportionate share of the
other half through Federal taxation.
Therefore. II anybody should ruls the
District. it should be its own people.
and not the States
Mr.. KeeleyS argument was an appeal
for justice in the light OF modern civiliza-
ton, as he termed II. as distinguished
from European monarchism and tyranny.

"Ihe Third Degree

Following is the story of the Third De- gree at the Bijou this week:
 Robert Underwood, d prohigate artist and dishonest man. loved the woman who tilted him and married Howard Jeffres, sr.. who gave her both wealth and social position. One day he wrote her letter telling her that if she did not come and see him at his studio he would commit suicide and leave letters charging the affair to her. stating that she drove him to it.
 Fearing the disgrace which would come to her by the publication of this she went to see him. After she left, with a sud- den fit of determination, Underwood did what he had threatened to do-commit suicide. He was found dead by the au- thorties and young Jeffries was found there and charged with the crime He was made to confess by use of the third degree by Captain Clinton, a detective, who had him under hypnotic power.
 The wife of young Jeffries did not be- lieve him guilty and set about to employ counsel for her husband. The entire story of the play centers about the fidelity of AHN SOdiiB NiiN tp iiti po9 HHuoDduuf Sle finally succeeding in proving his inno- eence and freeing him from prison
 The part of Howard Jeffries, Sr., a snob of the first water. Is excellently portrayed by Edmond Sprague, while that of lhe son is played fairly well by Jack Walters. But so far 8 the run of the play is con cerned young Jeffres is almost an un- known quantity, being only in the first and last acts. He does not have ample opportunity to display his histrionic abili- ties. Raymond Wells succeeds in i'm pressing the audience with hs dignity as constitutional lawyer and an authori.y on international law. Charles T. DelYel- chic shows just how mean police de- tectiye can be when he tries. Miss Marion Sherwood plays the part of Mrs. Howard Jeffries, Sr., and acquits herself credit ably
 But the cream of the entire performance is ip the acting of Miss Grace Lord fs Mrs. Howard Jeffries. Jr.. who shows the depth of wifes devotion by her untirine fidelity to her young husband A failure in this part would mean an utter failure in the show But the show is not a faIlure. if is great success
 The minor parts of the play were well rendered Taken as whole the play this week is clean, with just enough pathos. just enough drama and just enough comedy.
