BEEF As AN INTOXICANT.

We find it difficult to believe the
cable report that Liver. ool physicians
are very much exercised over the
case of the travelling salesman with
delirum tremens induced by too
much beef tea. Food analyses and
nutrition experts nave long been
aware of the high stimulating power
of meat p%roteins. which DIR. Chitten
den says are Appropriated by but one
sort of protein from the vegetable
kingdom. that of oatmeal. The vege-
tarians, in fact. base their most eff
fective arguments on the fact that
the stimulation from meat is in q
way like that from alcohol, effecting
tissue change OIL metabolism rather
than affording nutriment. Beef tea
Is the highest stimulant among the
meat juices. Physicians have long
since abandoned the notion that it Is
a food capable of repairing tissue,
for laboratory tests have proved that
ii causes more rapid wasting of the
body than no food at all.
Indeed. dogs fed entirely on con-
centrated beef juice are so overstimu-
lated that they die within a few days.
Experiments conducted by the United
States department of agriculture on
Losses in cooking meat showed that
beef which has been used for the
preparation of tea or broth had lost
practically none of its nutritive val
ne. while most of the '~fiavoring ma
terial"-the toxic and stimulating
ait of the beef-had gone into the
extract.
Ii is doubtful If the medical men
of Liverpool are greatly surprised at
the drummer's discovery of the
hilarious consequences to be derived
from beef juices. Beef tea has been
regarded by those who know as an
innocuous beverage; those who don't
know and who have been experiment
ing in their own kitchens for their
own eonvalescents. may we'll take
warning from the sad case of the
salesman in Liverpool.-New York

WHY TURKS IOsE POWER.
They Lack the Inspiration of Woman,
Says Turkish Gentleman.

The Turks. who are losing power
each year. have given to the world
no great scientist. explorer, painter,
conposer-indeed. no great leader in
any branch of action or of art-saye
only hat OF war.
Why Is 1t? The Turks have been
Europeans for centuries-their Gina
tic conditions and their environment
are western. How Is 1t to be account
ed for, then, that they have given no
great men to the world-saye only
soldiers?
II was a question put to a Turkish
gentleman. diplomatist. soldier and
scholar. And his answer anne
straight and pat. without any pause
FOR consideration or limitation.
"Mahometans have not given a
leader to the world OF thought or
deed he said. for one reason, and
one reason only. Why is it, Our
brains weigh as much as yours. there
is no difference in kind between us.
What We lack is the inspiration OF
the woman"
The reply came swift and sure, GER
tain and emphatic. II cracked like a
whip.
Everything that has been done by
the Christian European he went on
has been done for the sake of o
woman. The exceptions are so few
as not to be worth talking about. For
the sake of wife, mistress. or mother.
The woman has been the cause of
every effort-to shine in her eyes, TO
win her praise. that she should be
proud OF her man.
THAT is denied To us Mahometans
Our women are not our helpmates
our equal or our comrades. They are
our recreation, and, of course. the,
are ionored as the mothers of oul
children. But they are not u IN
spiration.
1T Is true that the majority oil
Turks are not now polygamists. but
the aftermath OF polygamy remains

A SAFE AND SANE VIEW.

From San Francisco Chronicle.)
Big business may be wicked. but
II gives employment at good wages.
When we break do n big business,
whether it be right Or wrong, the
sufferers are those whom big bust
ness employs or would employ.
In all other countries big business
is encouraged and protected. Our
notions Of public policy are unlike
those of any other nation. and 1t may
be that the rest of the world is right
and We are wrong.
At n rate il is only by big business
that we can compete with big bust
ness OF other countries and We may
as we'll make up our minds that We
must give encouragement to capital
and ability or prepare to make soup
houses a permanent American insti-
tuition. We are seeing a little of II
here. They are seeing much more OF
IL elsewhere.
Unemployment will cease and bust
ness Will resume when state and ma
tional governments cease to run
amuck among our business institu'
lions and not before. Not one of ths
most successful raids has lowered
the price of a single commodit,
which any one buys. but in the ag
gregate they are depriving hundreds
of thousands of employment.

HOWEVER. THE TREMENDOUS
OUTPUT Is NOT EXPECTED TO
REDUCE THE HIGH COST OF

Ten billion dollars worth of pro-
ducts, $4,000. 900. 600 of cash income
"A bumper year in spite of droughts
and other setbacks-is the 1913 re-
cord of 5000, 900 American farms.
The most successful year of hus-
bandry in the United States brought
forth 5000, 000. 600 worth of rops,
of which $2,S96, 600. 900 we're re-
presented by cereals, and $500
000. 900 worth of animals sold and
slaughtered and animal products.
The value of the 1913 crop is twice
as great as that of 1899; more than
a billion dollars over 1909 and sub
stantially greater than 1912. OF
all the crops. however, 1t is estimated
that 81 per ZEN Will remain on farms
where they were produced, and that
20 per cent of the animal production
will remain. On that basis the cash
income Is estimated by the depart
ment of agriculture at $5,847.O 00,-
900.
But despite a record year OF crop

dnction has failen-and the fact that
the number of farms has increased

are estimated to be $500, 900 farms
In the country. the department In a
discussion of the subject made public
does not take the view that a lower
cost OF living will follow as a con
sequence.
However desirable increased pro-
duetion on farms may appear TO be
from the consumers standpoint. IL
does not follow that such increased
production would result In any in
crease in the cash income per farm
or per capita of farm population. or
that prices paid by consume would
be any lower" a y the report. Had
the total production In 1918 equaled
or exceeded the 1912 production IT
seem probable that the cash income
per farm would not have been great
er and might have been less than In
1912. but IL is extremely doubtful
whether the cost TO the consume
would have been any less. because
retail prices are promptly raised on
a prospect OF underproduction. but

Is plenty Of room for lowering the
eos of farm products TO consumers
and at the same time largely in
ereasing the cash income per farm
without increasing the farm produc-
ton.
