BEEF AS AN INTONCANT

We find it difficult to believe the
cable report that Liverpool physic-
ians are very much exercised over
the case of the travelling salesman
with delirium tremens induced by
too much beef tea. Food analyses
and nutrition experts have long
been aware of the high stimulating
pjwer of meat proteiDs. which DR..
Chittenden says are approXimatcd
by but one sort of protein from the
vegetable Kingdom, that of oatmeal.
The vegetarians, in fact, base their
most effective arguments on the
fact that the stimulation from meat
is in a way like that from alcohol,
afTecting tissue change or meta
bolism rather than affordin2 nutri-
mcnt. Beef tea is the highest
stimulant among the meat juices.
Physicians have long abandoned
the notion that il is a food capable
of repairing tissue. for laboratory
ests have proved that it causes
more rapid wasting of the body
than no food at all.
Indeed, dogs fed entirely on con-
centrated beef juice are so over
stimulated that they die within Il
few days. Experiments conducted
by the United States department
of agriculture on losses in cooking
meat showed that beef which has
been used for tn preparation of
tea or broth had lost practically
none OF its nutritive value, while
most Of the "~navoring matcrial''-
the toxic and stimulating part OF
the beef had gone into the extract
1t is doubtful if the medical mer
OF Liverpool are greatly surprised
at the drummcr's discovery of tn,
hilarious consequence to be derived
from beef juices. Beef tea ha
been regarded by those who know
as an i]nnocuous beverage; thusD
who don't know and who have becl
experimenting in their own kitch
ems for their own convalesccnts ma,

The HAPPY DAYS

The Philadelphia Record has
some interesting memories of the
happy republican days when it was
easy to get a free meal if you ap-
piled to the proper soup house.
The Record says:
Here is an item from the Kan
sas City Times which, distressing as
it is. will, we feel sure, bring joy
and comfort to many republican
contemporaries now IN a despond-
ent mood:
The matter Of furnishing work
for the many idle men in Kansas
City, which has been under a joint
committee of the board of tiade
and the city council, is yet to be
settled. The committee reported
yesterday that it could reach no
agreement covering a practical
plan
We had almost forgotten to say
that the heading over this bit Of
news is. In Kansas City 40 years

on December "a. 1879. That was

WHAT CONSTITUTES
BENEFICIAL USE or
WATER IN IRRIGATION

Under the laws of W ter rights,
as established by legislation and
court DEGREES in the arid States OF
the West, the final test of q right
to water for irrigation is that the
water claimed shall be put TO q
beneficial use. As expressed by the
laws Of several States beneficial
use is the basis, the measure and
the limit Of rights to water. These
laws, however, do not attempt t.
define beneficial use"
At a conference of the project
managers of the United States Re-
clamation Service and representa-
tives IF the Department Of Agri-
culture. held at Salt Lake City,
November 1915, a resolution at
tempting such a definition was
adopted. This definition is some
what long and detailed, but in
substance is as follows:
A water user is cntitlfd to that
amount of water that will render
him a reasonable maximum amount
Of good with a reasonable, eco
nomic handling of tho water. He
is entitled to the protection of the
State in this right, but in return
the state has a right to demand
that he use reasonable care and
Judgment in conveying and using
water and cultivating his crop The
conference adopted also a defni-
ton of Economical use" which
was in substance as follows.
Since the water supply available
for irrigation in the Western
States is adequate for Only a rela.
lively small percentage Of the en-.
tire irrigablc acreage, the funda-
mental standard OF economical use
must he the financial results ac-
complishcd per %acre-foot of water
applied rather than tho yield per
acre irrigated. In future Develop
ment the doctrine Of beneficial
use must in many "asus merge into
or be surplanted by that Of eco

the value of that property shrinks
visibly. When a debtnr is asked
how much property he has subject
to execution on judgment that
debtor becomes indeed a poor man.
When a BANKER is asked what will
be the result of a law that will take
away his power IF cornering money
and scalping the money market the
banker will invariably say it will
disrupt the country.
But the people are becoming
used TO such walls and they pay no
| heed to them. In Congress the OH
jections are gone over with minute
care lest a large and powerful
political interest may be antagoniZ-
cd but the people generally make
up their minds in advance of Con-
gress. 1t were pity if they did not.
This country has too much work
to do to be kept back by the So
called conservatism of bankers. So
far as taking investment tips from
bankers it. will be a long tice be-
fore those who hought Morgan re-
organization stocks on the recon-
m%endation of BANKERS will buy

A coon LAW

There is a law in some states
we believe by which the real own
ers Of white slave houses must afix
his name in big letters to the front
of the buildings. If there is a bet.
ter statute on the books we don't
know it. Ii is right that the COM
munity should know who is who,
and what men are fostering evil
and encouraging it by investment
of capital in the bodies and souls
Of men and women, some of whom
might be their " sisters and
brothers. There are cases all over
the country where owners of such
houses stand with their heads in
the highest offices in the commun-
ity and with their feet in mire of
the worst sort. a community is
either better or worse than these
men. II it was worse we want to
help its morals or get out; if it is
better it hould prove it by keep
ing out of its Offices of honor those
who give white slavery its greatest
aid houses in which to carry on
the traffic.

THE IMPOSSIBLE

Nobody will %begrudge a holiday
to a president of the United States
who has accomplished the imposs.
ible.
1t was impossible that the Demo
ratio party with its long record of
folly, foolishness ard faction. could
be transformed into an effective in
strumcnt of government.
IT was impossible that a president
who had no experience in national
politics and no personal acquaint-
ances with the leaders of the party
could work tremendously with con-
gress.
1t was Impossible that a narrow
majority such as. the Democrats
had in the house could be held to-
s gether.
It was impossible that a narrow
majority such as the Democrats
had in the senate could be prevent
ed from surrenderlng to privilege

1t was impossible that the Demo-
cratic party, in the light of its bis
tory for fifty years could carry cut
a sane, constructive policy of gov
eminent.
Yet all these things have come
about. Not since the civil war
has any administration written so
much history within so brief a per-
iod of time as the Wilson admins,
trativn has written since March 4,

much influence over congress al

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Commenting on the business con
dltions that have prevailed in the
country during the past year
Bradstreet's review for 1913. just
issued. points out that while the
disruption of business, in many
lines, was worldwide and while
there was Il keen disappointment
over the failure of trade and f.
name" to respond to the apparently
strong position Of this Cuuntry's
producing and consuming interests,
there was q distinctly better tone
toward the end Of the year and the
forecast is for a revival carly in
the current year that will offset
much of the disquict and depres-
sion Of 1913.
The statement takes the view,
held by many authorities in the e.
nancial world, that financial de-
preston such as tha. which marked
last years business in this country
is exceedingly likely to be followed
bv a reaction in the opposite d.
rectlon and that the country may
reasonably expect a period of sub
stantial business prosperity in the
near future. This revival, it is be-
lieved, a be prevented only by
the most unfavOrablG crop develop
ments and accompanying. unforeseen
tiRhtness of money, and the latter
contingency is regarded us remote.
Among the most potent factors
mentioned as having cXcrted an in
fluence upon American business,
pro or con, are the following:
The revelation brought abortssby
the Ralkan war. that ovcrborrow-
ing abroad had reached q danger
Gus point; that gold vas being
boarded in vast quantity in central
and eastern Europe as a direct re-
suit of the war; military prcpara-
lions throughout Europe; deptes-
sion Of American securities by for.
cign selling; the fact that we
were exporting gold instead of i'm
porting 1t; disquiet over Icgisla-
ton at Washington; early activity
in domestic trade and industry
showing q marked recession: tariff
changes and crop shortages; for
eign trade surprising in volume all
previous records; increased indus
trial outputs and gross raiIrOnd
earnings, coupled with high prices.
The prediction is madc that the
enactment of the currency measure
by congress will render money
cheaper and easier to obtain in
1914 than at any tirn1 last year. In
summing up the situation, the re-
port says: Time will perhaps be
