Reckless Eating.

Dietitians commenting on mooern
recklessness in eating quote the re-
mark OF Seneca. the Roman philoso-
pher, Man does not die; he kills him
self" Originally made to live 1000
years, man has fallen TO an average OF
only one-third Of a century. IL has
taken 6,Oo0 years, the authorities tell
us, 20 develop a race that viii live, by
hook or by crook. as long as thirty
three years, which is given as the pres
emit day average. The blame Is placed
upon our disregard OF pain honesty in
living. We scorn everything natural
and surrender 20 artificial gratifca-
tons and indulgence that tend 70 ruin
the natural health OF the body. Oar
discretion cannot be trusted to do the
common sense obvious thing. II q

Jeenng at America.

The London sketch, a British picture
paper with a large circulation, suggests
that the British press stop ieering At the
United States-that such jeering -
"poor policy, bad patriotism, and OF
questionable taste"
Some our British friends are afflicted
with the same fundamental error affict-
ing some German friends-namely, that
person whose ancestors came from
some country in Europe i guilty OF trea-
son II he does not support that country,
right OF wrong. The United States likes
this no better when expressed or I'M
piled in London than when expressed or
implied in Berlin.
Nor are the American people i'm
pressed by crude British attempts to
sick them into the war BY gibs ana
snecrs that reflect on the honor Of TINS

TRYING TO SAVE NEWMAN ERB.
Physicians Doing All That Is Possible
for the Financier.

New York, Sept. l7.-Newman Erb,
wealthy flnancier and railroad reorgan-
izer, who swallowed two poison tablets
by mistake, was yesterday confined to
his summer home at Deal, n. j. calmly
awaiting the outcome of the efforts made
by three specialists to save his life. He
spent comfortable night Wednesday,
was virtually free from pain and en-
tirely conscious. The physicians hope
that the prompt rejection OF the poison
by the stomach and the first aid rem
dered by Mr.. Erb's valet prevented all
but a small amount of the poison from
entering the finaneier's system. Wheth-
or this has been the case the physicians
in attendance have told Mr.. Erb and
his family, may not be determinsble for
four or five days. In the meantime
every possible effort is being made to
counteract the effects of any poison that
may be in his organs. The operation
Of scraping the kidneys, which has often
proved successful in similar cases of
poisoning. will not be resorted to in this
case, il was said, on account of Mr.. Erb's
age, 65 years.

LONE BANDIT GETS
$4,000 IN TRAIN HOLD-UP
Awes Express Messenger with Revolver,
Robs Safe, Gets Away
In Auto.

indianapolis, Sept l7.-Detectives are
searching for the lone bandit who held
no Lake Erie & Western passenger
train No. 25 Wednesday night at the
point of a revolver and robbed the ex-
press safe of packages containing jew
elry and about three thousand dollars in
cash.
The robbery occurred near Arcadia,
% miles northeast of indianapolis. The
robber, after holding up the express
messenger and obtaining the money
from the safe, jumped from the train at
Cicero, sprang into waiting automo-
bile said to have contained two other
men, and was whirled away. Not q
trace of the men has been found.
1t was remarkably bold robbery for
one man to commit As the train stopped
at Arcadia the robber sprang aboard the
express car and pointed revolver at
the head of the messenger, who was put
ting package of money in the safe at
the time.
Still covering the messenger with his
revolver, the bandit removed the con-
tents of the safe, which consisted of Ia
packages, and placed them in a sack.
The bandit then pulled the bell cord
and brought the train to stop at Ci-
cero, where he left with his plumber.

ty that the administration is not IN
the least averse to the publication OF

maintained, with tv-ofold object.
First, greater concessions from Ger

Secondly, added emphasis viii be given

government that the United States in

Vermont Fish Exhibit.

The fish exhibit made by the state fish
and game commission, Hon. John w. Tit
comb, is one of the most interesting ana
instructive that has ever been seen IN
the state. Nearly every kind OF fish
that inhabit Vermont waters are to be
seen in the tanks. There are the sew
eral kinds of trout, pike, pickercl, perch,
bulheads, shepherds and even sturgeon,
Fish fry are seen in the developing stage,
and from the moment one enters the
building until he has inspected every
tank interest increases. More can be
learned about the fish of Vermont waters
in a trip through this exhibit than in
any other way.
