On Eating.

Leaving out of consideration the infec-
tions diseases, there is not the slightest
doubt that more OF the maladieS of man
are due to the food he takes than to any
other one cause.
Although it seems strange that anything
so essential to health as food should also
be so destructive both of health and OF
life, it is only an example of the great dif-
ference between use and abuse.
There are three ways in which food
can iniure the human organiSm,-in its
quality, in its quantity, and in the speed
with which il is eaten,-and most often
we permit il 10 do us harm in all three.
AS TO the quality or the kind OF food
that we eat, there is constant fight be-
tween the vegetarians and those who eat
animal as well as vegetable food. Argu-
ing from the assumed descent OF man
from an ancestor common to him and the
ape, the vegetarians hold that, since the
ape is avegetarian, man also mustorlglnally
have been one. But perhaps tits because
man differed in this respect from his cou-
sin, the ape, that he got ahead OF him IN
the race of development. That, of course,
is mere guessing, but the fact remains
that the teeth are adapted to chewing and
the digestive organs to digesting meat as
well as vegetables.
The sin is notin taking all kinds OF food,
but in taking too much of one kind-meat.
This is the food for which most persons
have the greatest liking. So it is easy to
take it too often and in too great quantity.
The second dietetic offense is in the
quantity of TODD that we take. We are
prone not only to eat too much meat, but
also to eat too much of all foods. Three
hearty meals day, whether they are OF
bread and pie or OF fish and meat, are too
much for the average adult. A So-called
"Continental' breakfast, that is, frlilt, a
roll or a slice of toast with butter, and
coffee; a light, meatless luncheon or sup
per, according to the dining-hour, and a
substantial dinner, with fish or meat it tde-
sired, is a dietetic program suitable for all
men and women. except perhaps those
who do the heaviest kind OF physical
labor.
AS to the manner of eating, little need
be said. II must be admitted that in his
digestive organs man is more like the
herbivora than the carnivora; consequent
ly his food needs to be well chewed be-
fore If is swallowed. But who, except
Mr.. Horace Fletcher, can say, with MS
hand on his. heart, that he eats slowly
and chews conscientiously ?

The First Cup And Saucer.

The cup and saucer is modern inven-
ton, unknown the days OF Bluff King Hal,
or even OF Good Queen Bess. Bowls Of
various sizes graced the banquet boards
OF those famous monarchs, but cups came
in only with the introduction of such
as tea or coffee.
The beverages of the sixteenth century
were water. mead, sack and ale. In the
middle OF the next century tea was intro
duced. and with il the Chinese or "chi-
ma" teacup. Strangely enough, the men
who imported il from the Orient did not
themselves understand the method Of its
use, or possibly the conservative Brit
isher preferred to invent a style OF his
own.
The Chinese put pinch OF tea into a
cup.-much larger than ours and without
handle,-filled il with boiling water, and
then inverted sau Ger over the recep-
tacle within whose rim il closely fitted.
The object was partly to retain the heat
but Chiefly TO prevent the escape OF the
fragrance of the herb which the Chinese
olfactorieS found most delicious. The
infusion was permitted TO stand for five
minutes, when il was decanted into a
second cup without saucer, and dain-
tily slipped therefrom.
John Bull, however, emphatically de-
clined to take his tea in Chinese fashion.
He liked the appearance OF the ornamen-
tai ware upon his table, but he insisted
on placing the cup in the saucer, like a
miniature flower-pot, preparing the bev-
erage in common instead OF an individ-
ual receptacle.
In course Of time, England began the
manufacture OF cups and saucers, and pic
lures which have been preserved from
the days OF the Stuarts show big, flaring
cups, four inches across the top, with
sancers less than three inches in diam
eter. BY degrees one dwindled and the
other expanded. until in the middle otthe
nin,eenlh century the opposite extreme
was reached, and foshionabeteas services
had cups only an inch and half in diam
eter accompanied by five-inch saucers.
The handle OF the teacup came from
Mediterranean lands. Originally !, was
made OF thick and strong eanhenware and
applied TO heavy jars and lamps. It's de-
corative possibilities popularzed II with
Greek and Roman potters, who extended
its use TO small amphors and flagons; but,
as the word "smphor" indicates, the
handle was double, like that OF the bouil-
lon-cup today. Single handles crept into
use by degrees, and were probably ap-
Piled 10 drinking-cups about the time
that coffee came into vogue in southern
Europe, the beverage being taken almost
at the boiling point, so that some device
for lifting the cup without burning the
fingers was found desirable.
Travelling slowly northward, the one
handled coffee cup finally reached Great
Britain, where its merits were immedi-
ately recognized. II was not long before
handles were applied to drinking utensils
of every description.

things to rights in that tired and dis
ordered stomach. 1t goes right at
the work of dlgesting the food 1t finds

forming, the breath is sweetened, the
coating on the tongue disappears and
you are no longer conscious that you
even have a stomach.
That Is one Of the chief recommen-
dations for Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets-that they don't take forever to
accomplish the purpose for which you
need them. II is just as If you put
an extra stomach or two to work

Washington, Jan. 10.--Andrew Car
negie appeared before the Stanley
steel investigating committee today
answering subpoena To tell his own
part in the growth of the iron and
steel industry. Last summer the
laird of Skibo wrote Chairman STAN
ley that he would be glad to testify
before the committee but he expert
enced a change OF mind later and in
order to make certain that he would
be on hand today, Stanley issued and
secured service by a subpoena on the
iron master.
Back in the early days Of what Wit
nesses before the committee have
termed "ruinous competition" Car
negie was known as the most ener-
getic figure In the iron and steel trade.
The late John w. Gates testifying be-
fore the committee, declared that the
Scotchman's business acumen forced
the steel trust to purchase his hold
ings for nearly 100000, 900 more than
the figure at which he had previously
offered them for sale.
When the diminutlVe, energetic
figure appeared the committee room
was crowded. For the first time since
the investigation began a sprinkling
of women appeared among the spec
tators. Carnegie looked clipper and
smart I'm his frock coat He took his
seat smiling and drew from an inside
