EATING TO LIVE

and physiology, the more firmly convinced
is he that he is right, and that you are wrong.
1t is almost impossible to get one who lives
on nuts and other squirrel food, fruit, cereals,
or vegetables exclusively, to understand that
a well rounded dietary is the only sensible
one; that in order to hold down his job, and
still have reserve force when he gets home
to entertain his wife and children, he must
eat sufficient of the three classes of food to
make up for loss of tissue waste, supply heat
and energy. and lay up a small quantity of
emergency fat.
AND right here 1t may be profitable to
remember that vegetarianism IS the diet
of enslaved, unprogressive, and conquered
races and diet rich in Il eat is that of the
progressive, the dominant, and the conquer
ing stocks. Nature knew what she was do
ing when she SO constructed man that he
would eat anything that didn't eat him first
If food satisfies the two great but neglected
senses of smell and taste, it IS usually good
to eat. Unfortunately somewhere on the
long road up to our present exalted position
we have abandoned those excellent and use
full customs of shifting and tasting. We
must now take the cooks word for it, even
though we get ptonaine poisoning as con-
sequence.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-07-20
Continued from page IL

Perhaps the best system of diet is to take
a little of everything, not too little, nor yet
too ch,-omitting all those foods which
experience has shown us to be harmful. And
almost everything has its use. Sometimes
it may be indispensable, as with fruit acids
or the alkalis of vegetables. Scurvy and
grave constitutional disorders result from
lack of them. Even our mild-eyed and mod
est potato may possess virtues for which we
have given it little credit. If the recent an
nouncement that cancer is due to a de-
fciency of potash salts is true, our reprehen-
sible practice of undressing this succulent
vegetable before plunging it into the pot has
been severely punished. For, if there is any
basis for the theory, we have been boiling
out the very elements that rendered us inn
mune to this dread disease. At any rate,
cancer is markedly on the increase-and
so is the practice of boiling undressed
potatoes.
1t is mooted question, this big subject of
diet. 1t concerns every man, woman, and
child on earth; for "men live without
churches, or creeds or books; but civilized
man cannot live without cooks"
But even though he can't, perhaps he has
achieved marvelously if he has learned that
not eating, but living, is the sine qua non OF
existence.

quietly out across the shady lawn.
Did she see anyone there, the doctor
wondered QUITO that bench perhaps, in the
little triangular park across the street,
Some sort of change that had come over her
sensitive face made the doctor think perhaps
she had. He'd have liked to go over to the
window again himself to see; but for some
reason he didn't.
Instead he went over to Hiram, and laid a
rough but not unfriendly hand on his Shout
der. "There's only one thing to do, Hiram"
he said. whatever you know, or whatever
you're afraid of, there's only one thing you
can do now She knows it, over there. We
don't know how much else she knows But
we both know that"

do what she likes and ask what she likes,
and make up any cock and bull sort of
story she likes about what Peter Darvel

"All right" said the doctor, turning to
Pamela. Hes willing we should make the

1t seemed to the doctor that she had

doctor opened the door. But on her way
to it Pamela hesitated.

telegraph instrument than with window
shade" she said, "if you knew where we
could get one"
Hasn't old Peter an outfit of his own?"
the doctor asked.
Hiram went to the door and called aloud
for Mrs. Harper. She wasn't far away, and
she answered the call with almost suspicious
alacrity. From where she stood in the door
way, peering into the dimness of the big
room, she didn't see Pamela.

ratus for sending telegrams-a brass key

"Yes," said the doctor.
She got down on her knees in front of it
and explored its recesses with practlsed
hand. Presently she drew out rather big,
old-fashioned telegraph key, mounted on a
cherry base, and with large wooden head,
instead of the modern vulcanite one.

to account for the look in her face now as

THAT HORRIBLE MOMENT

THAT horrible moment comes to every
man if he waits long enough, said rail-
road superintendent over the coffee cups at
the Transportation Club recently. And he
went on to tell about his Horrible moment"
1t was after big tunnel accident, in which
many lives were lost. To the railroad Of
ficials-of whom he was one-it was simply
case of an engineer disregarding signals.
To the Mortified public it was another case
of irresponsible directors, and Coroner
began the investigation with blood in his eye.
All the signals were set, swore the super
intendent. There was no excuse for the en-
gineer to run by them. In addition to the
signal lights and semaphores, there was a
torpedo as further warning. Yet the engi-
neer had run by even the torpedo, the ex-
plosion of which in the confines of narrow
tunnel is fairly deafening.
A torpedo never misses fire. The rim of
the locomotive wheel, with forty tons weight
behind it, touches it off. To give the Coro
ner and his jury an object lesson in the art
of railroading, the superintendent called out
his pony engine, fitted with an observation
cab, and invited them to see for themselves.
They all climbed into the cab, Coroner,
jury, reporters, assistant District Attorney.
As the engine swept along, the superin-
tendent pointed out the signals, which he
had ordered set as they had been at the time
of the accident.
"Even if we run by all of these" he said,
eve can't miss the torpedo. There it is, just
beyond that green light"
The company held its breath and waited
as the engine rolled forward. 1t rolled on to
the torpedo, rolled over it. Not a sound!
The torpedo might have been sawdust, for
all the evidence it gave.
"That was my horrible moment" said the
superintendent. at ought to have gone off
but it didn't, that was all there was to it.
The Coroner looked at me, the jury looked
at me, the reporters ditto, also the assistant
District Attorney. The flesh on the back of
my neck crawled.

cue. That pony engine was the trouble. 1t
