POSITION THAT Is HARMFUL
Habit of Sitting Cross-Leqged Is De-
cIared TO Be Dangerous to the
Health of the Body.

Full so per cent of the men and
women who travel in the trains and
street cars sit cross-legged, and this
habit is responsible for many ills, ac
cording to a prominent London physi-
clan. The prime objection against
this habit, he says, is that the return
flow Of blood from the leg is stopped
at the knee, the result being that the
veins in the leg swell up. All the
weight is thrown on one side of the
body, and the under leg goes to
sleep, owing to the pressure put on
the sciatic nerve The body should
be equally balanced Then there is
another danger. Too much cross
ms of the legs is sure to bring lop-
sidedness Let the legs rest Imply.
In that way the muscles become eased
while the flow into and the return of
blood from the legs is naturally done
and the body is equally balanced.

Walnuts as Food.

A London medical journal recently
published some interesting facts con
corning walnuts as foods. According
to this authority thirty large walnut
kernels contain as much food value
as two and three-quarters pounds of
lean beef" With beef worth approx
mately 20 cents a pound, this means
that each walnut is worth about two
cents as a food product as compared
with beef. That these facts will great
ly encourage tire production and con-
sumption of wanuts is hardly to be
expected. There is some consolation,
however. in the thought that when
meat has become luxury to be in
dulged only by the rich, the general
consumer can keep his dinner very
well-somewhat like Peter Pumpkin

RECENT Lincoln Day observances
have recalled the following wise and pa
triotic sayings from one Of his addresses:
Let reverence for the law be breathed
by every American mother to the babe
that prattles on her lap; let it be taught
in schools and colleges; let it be
preached from the pulpit proclaimed
in legislative halls and enforced in
courts Of justice And, in short, let it
become the political religion Of the ma
ton, and let the old and young, the
rich and the poor, the grave and the
gay, of all sexes and tongues and colors
and conditions, sacrifice increasingly
upon it's affairs.
There are men in the halls Of legisla-
ton who would do well to heed the
spirit Of this utterance Of the martyr
president, who never advocated the re-
call of judicial decisions.

were 125 courses, and he tasted them
all. Mr.. Ward, the American envoy to
view with the Emperor Heing-Fung in
1859, tells how he was entertained at
a dinner that lasted from noon one
day until o'clock on the evening OF
the day following. The total number of
courses is not given, but Ward men

taking of 1873 different dishes. where

Hundreds Removed from Steamer.

San Francisco, CAL, Jan. 15.-
Special: The Northwestern Pacific
steamer Tiburon ran ashore on the
rocks near Fort Mcdowell, on Angel
island, shortly after s o'clock to-
night. 1t is crowded with passen-
gers and dense fog covers the bay.
It's captain communicated with shore
reporting its bottom unchanged and
hope of lifting it off at flood tide.
The Fort Point life savers, the Uni
ted States tug Golden Gate and other
craft have gone to it's assistance.
The pilot boat Pathfinder, inbound
through the gale, ran ashore near
Fort Point shortly after the Tiburon
struck. Two Key Route ferry steam
ers, the Yuerbabuena and Fernwood,
crowded with passengers, narrowly es
capped serious collision earlier in the
evening off Yuerbabuena island. The
pilots saw each other coming headon
and reversed full speed on time, the
boats just grazing. The only dam
age done was to the Yuerbabuena,
whose starboard forward railing was
smashed. Mariners say the fog is
the thickest in the history Of the
bay. The passengers of the Tiburon,
numbering hundreds. were taken to
Sausalito, a suburb, in every form of
craft that could be impressed into
service. Notice of their predicament
coupled with reassurances as to their
safety. had been flashed to Sausalito,
Mill Valley, San Dafael and other
Marin county towns by the govern
ment wireless station at the Angel

DIVORCE A HOME PRODUCT.

Increase of divorce in the United
States cannot be attributed to the in
fuence OF aliens. 1: must be recognized
as one of the developments of nation
al life for which the native-born
American must accept responsibility,
if statistics are to be believed. Charles
A. Ellwood, professor of sociology, Uni
versity of Missouri, says:
Divorce it not an evil which the
foreign born and the negro have
brought to us, for it especially char
acterizes the native white, that is,
the prominently American element in
the population. 1t is about twice as
high among the native whites as
among the foreign-born. This leads
one to suspect that divorce has some
thing to do with the individualism of
the American people, the tendency
among us for each one to do as he
pleases, to be law unto himself.
This is borne out by the fact that in
those sections of the country in which
individualism is most highly devel-
oped, the divorce rate is highest,
namely, in New England and the
Western States. 1t is borne out also by
the fact that divorce is more than
four times as common among Pro-
testants as among Catholics. The Pro-
testant element in the population is
the element in which individualism is
more highly developed; besides, the
Roman Catholic Church refuses to
sanction absolute divorce upon any
ground. ....'s
Finally, two-thirds of all divorces
are granted upon demand of the wife.
This suggests that the standards of
morality of the male element of the
population are not what they should
be, and that husbands too often give
ground for divorce by immoral con-
duct. Higher standards of morality
are necessary as civilization advances,
and conduct which the wife over
looked in the husband half-century
ago, or bore in silence, now becomes
a ground for divorce.
This last statement suggests an
other cause for increasing divorce in
this country, and that is the emanci-
patton of woman. Woman has now al
most equal rights with man, and has
achieved her economic. intellectual
and moral as well as legal indepen-
dence of man. This has been good
thing in itself, but many women have
used their freedom to emphasize their
rights rather than their duties, and
consequently have rendered the family
life less stable. In so far as the move
ment for "woman's rights" has been
simply an expression Of growing in
dividualism or selflshness on the part
of our women, it has tended, like all
individualism, to destroy the home.
