HEALTH AND AoRsePowEe

In an article in the April American
Magazine DR.. Woods Hutchinson gives
a number of practical suggestions
about the health. He is radicallv on.
posed to the old idea that it is wrong
10 eat meat or other hearty food in
the summer time. On this subject he
says in part.
When you come to face the trials
OF the heated term and the stewings
or the summer time, make up vour
minds that you will meet them on
three square meals day. cutting
down a little. of course. upon meat.
and particularly fat or salt meat, but
making your intake match your out
put in the form of work.
The only notifications which
should be made in the diet in summer
time are such as will meet the lessen
ed amount of work and exercise then
taken. If this latter be increased in
stead of diminished. as is the case
with country jewellers, and should be
the case as far as possible with city
Gwellers. taking the exercise in the
cool of the evening. then the amount
eaten in summer time should be in
creased rather than diminished
Not a little of that sense of de-
preston or 'all-in' sort of feeling
which distresses us in hot weather is
due to actual hunger. from poor ap-
petite and lack of substantial things
to eat. That awful thirst and sense
of depression which has made over
indulgence in alcoholic drinks such a
scourge of colonists in the tropics and
sub-tropics may be. and often is, due
to an inadequate supply of food fuel.
One thing is certain and the rest is
lies as old Omar sings. that il you
have work to do you must put fuel to
correspond under your boiler, winter
or summer, or you will suffer in con-
sequence. Let the table be well sup
and fresh vegetables in their season.
and an abundance of ice creams, froz-
en- puddings, fruit ices, and sherbets,
but don't forget to mix with them
plenty OF fresh meat, of eggs, fish,
ham or bacon, cheese and good
bread and butter Food which is
taken within the needs of the body,
that is to say, which is used up in the
production of working power and
vfgor does not overload the body or
raise the temperature to any appre-
ciable degree. Even the so-called
heating effect of meat IN the summer
time occurs only when more of II is
taken than is needed to supply the
daily energy requirements and work
output of the body"

LAWS THAT HOLD.

One of the things that have come
tumbling down in recent years is the
popular superstition about safety in
breaking laws. 1t used to find express
sion in the constant repetition OF the
trite remark of famous member of
the bar that he could drive coach
and four through any law ever draft
ed. The New York Tribune truly
says that it has been long time since
any one last heard those words.
Since the Northern Securities decis-
ion and the series of decisions cul-
mfnating in the dissolution of the
Standard Oil Trust and the Tobacco
Trust belief in the ability of lawyers
to accomplish the supernatural has
been rudely shaken. These concerns
We're monuments to the extraordinary
cleverness of lawyers IF any one ex-
pressed doubt of their fate he was
sure to be reminded of the superhu-
man legal acumen of the lawyers who
had been consulted about their f,,rma-
ton and who would defend their
handiwork in court. These concerns
had all the high priced" lawyers and
their reputed fees We're whispered in
an awed voice. If, indeed. the courts
should declare that the lawyers had
failed to find the loop hole in the law
this time. what then? They had a doz-
en- schemes and stratagems in reserve
more ingenious than any yet disclos-
ed. Yet the wonderful contrivances
failed. The sleeves were opened.
moreover, and revealed nothing.
If the faith that lawyers can always
show the way to defeat the spirit of
the law and at the same time keep
their clients from falling into its
clutches is destroyed it will be a
wholesome thing.

MEETING AN ExleENcY.

A suffragist lady. addressing the
OF yotes-forwomen advo-
Gates in st. Louis last week, made
much ado over the fact that the state
of Illinois employs 154 janitors at
the state capitol TO take care of fifty
one rooms and fifteen clock winders
to wind ten eight-day clocks. The
lady innocently assumes that there
must be some pay roll politics in this
profusion OF jobs A writer in the
Peoria Herald Transcript suggests
that better acquaintance with the di-
vision of labor among state employees
would undeceive her. He goes ON to
explain
All Of these 1874 ianitors are not
janitors proper. There is the JAM

not janit in person: the first assist
