The Eattes st Race.

How is 1t that the Danes as a race
are fat? Professor Lyde states that
from one end OF Denmark to the
other you will not find a really thin
man" And he gives rather a quaint
reason for It The growth of dairy
farming in Denmark tends TO make
men lazy. The private houses adjoin
the byres, which are kept at uni
formly warm temperature, and the
people are employed in warm build
ings, living chiefly on milk and cereals.
The men get so lazy that they will not
take the trouble to cut up their food -
And then comes this delightful con
clusion: This state of things has pro
duced q nation of housewives who ex-
eel all others in varieties of sand
witches, which can be munched all day
long" And thus Is produced the latest
race in Europe. and we get hint for
real rest cure. -Manchester Guardian

When first the long series of reports of
Middlebury people who have been re-
lieved by Doan's Kidney Pills were pub
lished in the local press, great enthu
siasm and interest were aroused. But
Middlebury is now inquiring, How are
these people keeping today? How has
the benefit they received withstood the
test of time" For that, after all, is the
essential test of a cure. On this point
doubt can no longer exist, for after
many years those who have been cured
emphatically declare their cures to be
lasting.
w. w. Counter. "a N. Pleasant St.,
Middlebury, says: Nothing has changed
my high opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills.
They still have my Endorsement. While

Mexican policy given In recenA
statement is as follows and shows the
ex-president has lost none of hrs
power Of speech: 1.-THE present ad-
ministration, with regard to Mexico,
pursued course wavering between
war and peace, exquisitely designed
to combine the disadvantages OF both
and feebly tending first toward one
and then toward the other. Usually
1t has permitted the free ingress of
arms into Mexico, both from 1nls
country and from others. Occasional.
ly, however. it has undergone spasms
of understanding that these arms
might ultimately be used against our
troops. 1t has then prohibited the land
ing of arms, sometimes wabbling back
again to its original position, as when
1t took Vera Cruz to prevent the
landing of weapons and munitions or
war and shortly afterward permitted
the very same arms and munitions to
be landed"

The expression "Our Soldier Boys"
is literally true, says the Dallas Re-
view and then goes on to give Stats
tics proving the case. The Review
says: When one thinks of our army
he is apt to think of big, able-bodied
matured men, SCARED and bronzed
veterans. The fact is the nation is
indebted to the boys for its power
and defense. OF the 100000 who en-.
listed during the civil war 100000
that is four-fifths of them were min
ors under II, and 100000 still young
ar, 100000 of them were under 10.
When it is remembered that these
boys would give their ages as high
as possible in order to pass muster,
the chances are that the average was
really not more than II or Is years.
The expression, Our Soldier Boys"
IL literal and not a figure of speech.

AN IMMENSE ELEVATOR.

The Pennsylvania railroad will on
July 1, place into full operation its
new 100000 bushel elevator at Cir
ard Point, Philadelphia.
The new elevator was built at .
cost Of s1.2o0,000. 1t is made entire
ly of concrete and steel, and the ia
cilities it affords represent the last
word in scientific practice. 1t II ex-
pected to prove the most rapid plant
ever built for transferring grain from
rail to water.
The new elevator is located at the
mouth of the Schuylkill river within
few hundred yards of the main
channel of the Delaware river. Tow
ering high above the flat lands which
surround it, it is the first sign Of
Philadelphia's industry which pre-
sents itself to voyagers coming up
the Delaware. The elevator proper
sits back 500 feet from pier 900 feet
long. on both sides of which vessels
can dock. Grain will be delivered to
ships for export by the conveying gal
lery, which extends out to the end OF
the pier.
Inc elevator has an unloading ca
pacity of 240 cars per day of ten
hours. 1t has sufficient trackage to
accommodate 400 cars. The capacity
and flexibility Of the receiving and
shipping plant is further increased by
siX-track concrete shed, two cars
long, permitting the unloading of
twelve cars at once The shipping
gallery has capacity for loading
ocean steamers of $50 feet length. at
the rate OF 10000 bushels per hour.

JUDGE M'PHERsoN's GOOD SENSE.
Federal Judge Smith Mcpherson in

and Judge John c. Pollock. declared
the Iowa vasectomy law invalid. AS q
sample of 'tbone-headed,' bigoted and
Utterly foolish and futile legislation
this law, passed by the last general
assembly. takes the palm, says the
Burlington Gazette. It is not necess-
airy to enter into q discussion Of The
law and its effects. Thanks to Judge
Mcpherson and his fellow jurists, the
statute has been killed and buried and
SO effectively that 1t will not be resur-
rected, in this generation, at least.
The SNUG and complacent lawmakers
at Des Moines who barked back to the
dark ages to burden the Iowa code
should read every line Of Judge Mc
Pherson's opinion. II the rebuke
therein contained does not pierce some
OF their hypocritical armor, their case
is hopeless. The Gazette does not be-
lieve in mollycoddling convic.s. It be-
lieves that men who have declared
themselves enemies to society time
without number and for whom the
word reform has no significance
should be severely restrained. But
there is limit to all punishments. It's
a good thing there are courts in the
land to restrain such reckless and out
