What to Eat to Keep Warm

!, the baked potato, for instance. When
taken into the mouth it is moistened
by the saliva and should be thor
oughly mixed with it, because saliva
is most important digestive juice.
AS a result of the chemical action in
the stomach of saliva and other
juices, the starch of the potato is
finally broken up into a simple sugar,
similar to the sugar found in fruits,
and this is absorbed through the
walls of the intestine. 1t is then car
ried by the blood to the liver, where
it is made up again into a kind of
starch called "glycogen" and stored
for future use.
When the body grows cold, or the
muscles begin to work, the blood car
ries some of the glycogen-store to the
muscles, and there it is burned by
coming in contact with oxygen
brought by the blood from the lungs.
The burning of fats and carbohy-
drates in the muscles is exactly SINH
lar to that of wood in the fireplace.
The carbon molecules of the fuel and
the oxygen molecules OF the air jump
together, and in SO doing give off
energy. The resultant blaze produces
waste ma terials which correspond to
wood ashes, and are carried off by
the DlOOu 10 De eliminated through
the kidneys and lungs.
When we remember these important
facts about digestion, we realize that
plenty of fresh air, to supply the oxy-
gen, and plenty of exercise, to keep
the muscles at work and the blood
circulating, are just as important to
the human heating apparatus as a
draught of air and proper stocking are
to the furnace.
And unless we do exercise in the
air 1t is useless to increase the fuel
foods that we eat, for in so doing
we simply clog the system with ma
terials which cannot be burned be-
cause of lack of oxygen
Moderation in eating is thus the
first requisite for keeping warm this
winter, and should be depended on
more than the steam radiator In
fact, the man who stokes the fur
mace down cellar is much less i'm
portant than the lady of the larder,
for it is she, who, by feeding her
husband and children rightly, enables
them to go out daily into the coolest
winter weather with a glow of
warmth that shows they carry their
own heating plant within them, and
need not be burdened with heavy, I'M
sanitary fannels.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
One Reason for Tom PIatt's Political Success

While ] was chatting with him
there came into the office a burly
New York city politician. He was a
perfect type of the politician of the
east side of New York Of a generation
ago. He was a Republican and 1T was
through his influence in great meas
ure that one of the legislative dis
tricts in that densely- populated and
overwhelmingly Democratic region of
the city was able almost always to
elect q Republican member of the
Legislature, and sometimes a Repub-
lican congressman.
He looked as though his vocation
was that of a man who kept butch
ers stall in one of the city mark tS,
as, in fact, it had been In his early
days, before he became a ward poll
tician.
He took seat by Senator Platt's
side The senator, with customary
movement of his hand, began patting
the extended hand of this big-framed
politician with a gentle and cordial
tapping, as though to Indicate that
there was perfect confidence between
them. The conversation lasted only a
few moments and then the big poll
clan went away, on his countenance
a look of extreme content.
After the door was closed behind
him a young friend Of the senator's
who was in the room during the in
terview, said: 81 don't see how you
can tie up to such man as that
politician He looks as though he had
just come from a butchers shop. He
, is a very coarse man. When he
laughs, he yells and he sits there
with his hat on. He looks like a
butcher with his apron off, and yet
you sat there patting his hand as
though you were very fond of him
You must know really what kind OF
man he is"
MY son." said the senator, speak
ing gently and with Characteristic
smile playing upon his lips. "wher

his eyes to where the fire burned and
watched the flames leap in opalescent

The ID. q II. Strike.

From the Washington Star.
In the face of two successful fed
eral mediations to prevent railroad
strikes, the walk-out of 5000 opera
tives of the Delaware and Hudson
lines illustrates the need of COM
pulsory method of arbitration Which
will prevent the disruption of trans
port systems upon which the pubic
depend. This strike was caused by
the dismissal of two men for DISC
bedience of orders and the refusal of
the company to reinstate thain on
the demand of the union. Offers Of
federal mediation were rejeU.eo )
representatives of the operatives. who
declared that nothing short of the
immediate restoration of the dis
charged men would satisfy them. The
trouble dates from last summer. when
the company discharged the engineer,
conductor and trainman of freight
train, one of the cars of which
jumped the track and dragged for
three miles and a half. The company
insisted that the operatives were neg
ligent in not having noticed that the
car was off the track. while the men
argued that the morning was foggy
and as the train was light they had
no way of telling that anything had
company took back one of the three
men. but refused to reinstate the
others.
This is an issue that is susceptible
of easy adjudication by an unpreju-
diced arbitrator. 1t seems nonStrous
to tie up whole railroad system, and
impose suffering upon thousands of
people and Inconvenience and loss
upon a multitude whose interests are
dependent upon the operation of the
railroad, simply because the justice
of an administrative action in the en-
forcement of discipline Is questioned
/ The railroad company is naturally de-
sirous of securing the highest degree
of efficiency and trustworthiness on
the part of the operatives. The men
on their part naturally resent what
they conceive to be an injustice. II
there ever was field for effectual
arbitration, on the theory that the
operatives are entitled to question the
acts of the company, 1t is presented
here, and failure to bring about a set
Element by direct means in this case
should serve as an urgent argument
for speeding up national legislation
along the line of compulsory arbitra-
ton.

New York Cheers Up.
From the st. Louis Republic.


Prophets of panic and hard times
have an advantage over seers who
specialize in other lines because their
predictions are likely to be causes
of the thing they predict Viewing
the future with alarm has been a
favorite diversion for the last six or
eight months. Most of this talk has
come from the East, and New York
has been the headquarters for bust
ness pessimism. There is reason to
think that New York is changing its
mind. For a long while the stock
market in New York was dull and
prices showed a tendency to sag. No
body can blame the New York broker
for feeling a little downcast when his
commissions are too small to pay
office rent, and since he has not been
very busy he has had a great deal
of time in which to brood over his
troubles and share his misery with
his fellow sufferers. This had a ten
dency to tinge the whole city with
blue and to give current discussion of
business conditions a gloomy tone.
But recently the market has been
growing active. The volume OF bust
ness is larger and prices are proving
attractive to investors. That means
money for the gentlemen who have
been worrying themselves into a be-
lief that a business tragedy was i'm
pending. There is little rose in the
azure of the New Workers. outlook,
and he must be about ready to quit
inviting panic by predicting 1t.

Electrifying Railroad Terminals.

Electrifying Railroad Terminals.
From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
To substitute electricity for steam
on railroads within the city limits
does not seem as impractical to
Chicago as to st. Louis railroad man
ayers. Forty companies in that city
are cooperating on Joint plan for
electrifying all terminals within the
Chicago industrial district. This city
passed a similar ordinance five years
ago for eliminating smoke, dust and
noise. but so far the legislation has
been fruitless. The 100000 horse
power which now is not utilized at
the Keokuk dam would simplify the
problem for st. Louis railroads, and
if made available at Il reasonable
price would add economy of operation
to other benefits. Does Chicago figure
on beating st. Louis to it in contract
ing for that excess of possible over
utilized hydro-electric current?
