street parade will probably prove
the most potent OF all the at
fractions. Many costly floats of
unique design are already under con-
struction, and it is expected that the
Turner organizations Of Chicago,
Louisville, indianapolis, Fort Wayne
and South Bead will be represented
in the parade in creditable manner.
Mayor BENJAMIN Bosse, noted for
his agressiveness and systematic
handling Of big affairs, is chairman
of the executive committee and is de-
voting much of his personal time and
attention to the details Of this cele-
bratiOn. He is enthusiastic over the
prospects Of success and confidently
predicts the largest number Of visitors
ever in the city. The merchants and
manufacturers are responding liber-
ally with financial assistance, and
those situated along the line of parade
will decorate their places profusely.

Medical journal Also Advises the Do
Ing Away With Breakfast, Which

sary Meal.

Were thesentire food supply OF the
world equitably distributed the labors
Of surgeons and physicians alike would
be sensibly reduced, but in the mean
time those who eat too much are as
frequently the care Of medical men
as are those who eat too little. - =
The victims Of excess or,-of depriva-
ton can be relieved by treatment, but
the. advice must be carefully followed;
and neither patient necessarily does
this. In the case OF the man
who eats too much, and equally in
the case Of the man who cannot obtain
more than two meals day, It is sug-
gested, we have read recently, that the
meal to be sacrificed should be break
fast. The reason offered for this be-
lief Is that after the nights sleep the
bodily strength, nervous and muscu-
lar, Is at its highest, and work can be
carried on without food. The machine
Is running strongly and no fuel is re-
quired for the time being There
would appear to be good foundation
for such belief, says the London Ian
Get. and yet, in this country at any
rate, we believe very few people act
upon it.
How many men are In the habit cI
doing any work before they bave
breakfast? Very few, we imagine.
Yet, as the evidence of some literary
men proves, there is no time Of the
day more fitted for the production of
intellectual or imaginative work than
the early morning hours, which, quiet
and refreshing, are friendly to brain
work, breakfast or no breakfast For
manual labor the no breakfast plan
is not SO suitable. A little fresh air
exercise to start the day, following
the habit Of some athletes in training,
is a thing that many Q professional or
business man might cultivate with ad-
vantage.
There is a great deal to be said in
favor of the coffee and rolls" plan,
and for men whose day is spent in
work which taxes the brain and nerv.
Gus system generally more than the
muscles the wise course is to relegate
anything approaching a hearty meal
to the period of relaxation, the eve-
ming. But that part of the continental
system which involves the eating of
@ heavy lunch is as Objectionable as
our own heavy breakfast plan. 1t can
be excused only IL adequate time is
given after the meal for the digestion
thereof, and most professional and
business men cannot spare the hours
ease which should follow a hearty mid
day meal. In most continental cities,
where the midday meal is a heavy one,
an hour or so is commonly spent in
smoking and chatting afterward. This
leisurely proceeding, however, is not
possible with the more strenuous
business habits of England and Amer
lea, as the quick lunch. institution
testifies. Nor need the quick lunch
he severely deprecated If the quanti-
ty of food ingested is reduced in ac-
cordance with the time taken for It's
consumption.

STRANGE BIRD OF DESERT
chapparaI Cock Said by cattIemen to
Build Spike Fence Around
Rattlesnako.

Does the road runner or Chapparal
cock snare the rattlesnake by build
ing fence of cholla spikes around
him and then dispatch the reptile at
leisure? The story. received with
skepticism, has often been told about
this bird Of the southwest Mr.. John
Feeney Of Elmira recently went to
Arizona to learn the truth. He learned
from some OF the pioneers that they
were ready to make afidavits that
they had Witnessed the capture and
death Of rattlesnakes in the aforesaid
fashion. Mr.. Sidney de Lone Of Bis
bee affirmed that he had seen q pair
OF road runners, evidently mates, do
the trick: Cattlemen were prolific In
experiences Of the kind, but the Ari-
zona Historical society had no data.
The road runner is such a strange
bird that anything told about 1t is
believed. DR.. William T. Hornaday, In
his American Natural History" is
credulous himself. The bird, he says,
"is remarkably odd in form and also
In its habits" He thus describes 1t:
1T Is about the size of a small
crow, with tail as long as it's entire
body and head, and legs that are SO
long and strong they seem like those
of a grouse, save that the toes. are
longer. The body is slender, but the
neck and head are large and the head
has conspicuous crest The beak
Is large. Although the bird has wings
1t seldom uses them, and they must
constantly be growing smaller through
disuba."
Mice, lizards, snakes, centipedes.
and insects are proyender. The doctor
testif1es that it is the most nervous Of
birds, abnormally suspicious and phe-
nomenally quick in its movements. 1t
flies little, but leaps far and high with
closed wings. He estimates that IL
the road runner goes on 10000 years
in its present habits" it will cease to
fly at all and will be able to leap 20
feet In the air. This remarkable de-
scription Of the uneasy and elusive
bird Of the Arizona desert prepares
one for "the many strange yarns" that
have been told about 1t, including the
story Of how 1t traps the somnolent
rattler. In the interests of veracious
natural history Mr.. Frank M. Chap
man should visit Arizona and write
a. monograph about Geococcyx cali
fornianus.

He departed nervously on his err

have 1t, at the wrong door.
How. long has your poor husband
been dead, my good woman? What
number Of children have you? Are
any Of them working? II SO, what
amount of money are they earning to-
gether?" were the questions he fired,
like shots from a revolver, at the slat-
ternly woman who answered his sum-

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS or CONDITIONS As
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Dec. Especial: If
any marked successes have been at
tanned on any of The various fields of
battle the war chancellories of the
belligerent powers have %refrained
from making known this fact TO the
public through their usual official
communications.
Except that fighting continues
briskly in Poland and that there has
been another resultless attack on Ar
ras in the west, there is scarcity Of
news from the front.
Unofficial advices from ~Petrograd
assert that the Russians in Poland
have captured ten miles of German
trenches between Glovno and Sobota,
near the coast of LODI, and in add
ton 600 prisoners, seven guns and
many wounded. The capture of
these trenches, it is asserted,
strengthens the Russian right wing,
which, it is declared, already has
outhanked the German left and
brought the Russian advance nearer
Strykow, where a battle is raging.
Berlin declares there is nothing
important to report from Poland. A
wireless dispatch from the German
capital, however, quotes military crit
les as saying that the time is ripe for
a resumption of active operations
against the Russians which were
temporarily hindered by the advance
of Russian achievements. 1t adds
that the Austrians are cooperating
with the Germans, and that there
have been Austrian advances in
Servia.
King George has gone to France to
visit the headquarters of the British
expeditionary forces.
The French government in a yell
low book again outlines, but more
completely than previously the
causes of the European co~nlagration.
1t deals with events from the Aus
trian ultimatum to Seryia to the
actual commencement of hostilities
by all the states of the triple entente
and the Teutonic allies.
In another official statement issued
at Paris the French government re-
views the general situation in the
western arena from Nov. 81 to Nov.
81 and describes the German attack
OF Ypres.
The cathedral, the belfry and the
market buildings, says the French
account, were destroyed and the
main square of the city was trans
ferred into a heap of ruins.
This report announces that from a
