Eat Too Much.

1.-The American workingmen
eats twice as much as his body
requires, and the American who
does not indulge in physical toll
our professional and office men
eat three or four times too much
said Thomas A. Edison, in an in'
terview recently.
Edison declared any man will
end his worries over the foo
problem when he gets to the
point where he neither gains nor
losses, while enjoying good
health. He favors a simple diet,
plenty of minor portions, and,
above all things, an end Of the
dinners with talk tests"
Il certainly would abolish, i
had my way, the dinner wit b
the long talks" he remarked.
Serve eight or nine portions,
Minute in size, and when the di.
ners would get up they'd feel
hungry. but comfortable.
George Washington Childs
had the idea of the public din.
ner. He'd,give one sardine, three
cherries or Strawberries, a tiny
fish, two tablespoonfuls of soup
and other simple diet.
"For the social feature of such
a gathering let the diners talk
among themselves. They would
enjoy the discourse far more
than to sit and listen to a windy
orator. all the while feeling un'
comfortable after eating hearty
portions of rich foods. Let's
stop making dinners talk tests
and social functions.
Edison said a person should
eat what be liked, but in the
smallest possible portions. He ia
vors a good breakfast as the
most essential meal.

Senator Penrose Voices His Opinion
Which is Well Worth Reading.

Much has been said and written
about taking the Tariff question
which still is the chief dividing line be-
tween the Republican and the Demo
cratic parties-out of politics by having
the Tariff regulated by non-partisan
commission. The American Economist
has been publishing views of Uuited
Estates Senators and leading members
.of the House of Representatives on
this subject. The concensus of opinion
as to non-partisan commission to regu-
late the Tariff schedules seems to be
There amt no such thing" nor can
there be.
Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania, upon whom seems TO have fallen
the mantle of the lamented William
Mckinley as the premier Protective
Tariff expert and exponent of the
present day, has contributed state
ment which is worthy Of careful perusal
as embodying the views Of a states
man who has probably given the tariff
question as much study as any man in

the case of the Dingley bill and the
Payne bill, and will promptly pass an
adequate Protective measure adjusted
to the needs of the country. Our country
will then no longer be at the mercy of
the cheap labor abroad, which will be
ready to dump its low price products
upon the American market after the
close of the war. Protection and pros
perity will be restored to the American
republic, and we will again have a
period of score of years or more of
prosperity and growth. The experience
in Cleveland's second administration
with the German Wilson bill and in
Wilson, administration with the Under
wood bill are merely in the nature of
episodes and cannot permanently inter
fere with the logical policy and destiny
of the American people. Yours truly,

that can be readily utilized This in
formation comes from experts attached
to the committees of Congress, from
the Treasury Department from the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor and
from other agencies of the Government,
not to mention the very full hearings
which are generally given the business
interests of the country who, in the
full light of publicity, have an oppor-
tunity to submit their views to the
Congressional committees. The war in
Europe has pointed out the necessity of
a strong Tariff law. adequately Pro-
tective, which will make this nation IN
dustrlally Independent of Europe The
best Illustration of this fact is in the
chemical schedule. That schedule al
ways has been weakened in our Tariff
laws at the request of the manufactur-
ers who wanted their materials free or
at very low duty. The consequence
is that no dyestnff is produced in this
country, and we have permitted our
selves to remain at the mercy of Ger
man syndicates and trusts, and now
we are deprived of European importa-
tions by war.
There is every indication that the
country is strongly Republican and
that we will elect Republican Presi-
dent and House of Representatives,
and l hope a Republican Senate. In
that case the Republicans will doubtless
meet in extra session Immediately after
the 4th of March, 1917, as was done in

America. Senator Penrose's statement
which was published in the American
Economist of August 18th, follows:
PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Aug. 5, 1915.
A tariff commission is all right to
investigate industrial conditions and
report in advance on costs and other
items involved in production here and
abroad. The ultimate determination
of Tariff schedules, however, must be
with the American Congress, which is
the only body authorized under the
Constitution to levy taxes. We have
in both branches of Congress men of
many years experience in Tariff legis-
lation, who are on the Finance Com
mittee on Ways and Means of the
House of Representatives. Much mis-
understanding seems to exist regard d.
ing non-partisan Tariff commission.
There always have been two kinds of
economic thought in the United States,
that of Free Trade and that of Pro-
lection. AS long as these two views
exist it is ridiculous to talk about a
non-partisan Tariff commission. Free
Leaders and Pretectionists can hardly
be expected to meet in harmony on a
Tariff bill. | believe in a Protective
Tariff, adequate to produce results
beneficial to American industry, framed
by the duly elected representatives of
the people and adjusted from time to
time to the changing needs of the
country. AS matter of fact, Con-
gress has at hand data and information

poultry lots of sunshine, and at the
same time the nesting boxes are placed
SO that they are well shaded. The
roof is constructed on the saw-tooth
principle, which insures plenty of sun
shine on the roosts and the back part
of the scratching floor. Dampness is
a dangerous condition to poultry, and
this is effectually prevented by hav-
ing plenty of sunshine in the back
part of the house.
The foundation of this building
should be Of concrete, as that is the
best kind of insurance against rats,

made, so as to eliminate all drafts.
Chickens stand the cold of winter very
well, but q slight draft III their houses
will often prove fatal. The walls of

placed drop siding. On the inside the
walls can be handled in various ways.

PROHIBITION PROGRESS.

(By JAMES MIDDLETON, in Worlds
About two years ago Mr.. William
Jennings Bryan gave a diplomatic din
ner in Washington, distinguished par
ticularly by the absence of wine. I'M
mediately the world burst into roar
of laughter; Europeans, especially,
hailed the proceeding as an amusing
illustration of American provincialism.
A few months ago the king of England
announced that he would himself abb
stain from alcoholic drinks for the rest
OF the war, and that wines would no
longer be served in any of the royal
households. Nine American states
have adopted prohibition in the last
eight months. France has legally for
bidden the manufacture and sale of
absinthe, and the Russian empire is
dryer at the present moment than
Kansas or Maine ever were. Facts
like these testify to the progress that
the cause of autialcoholism has made
In less than a year. When the leader
OF the most sophisticated society IN
Europe follows the example Of our
own somewhat homespun secretary OF
state, the cause of teetotalism has
ceased to be ridiculous.

EFFECTS OF BEER DRINKING.

ers. Whisky interests may. be better
organized than the brewers and inter.
fere more actively In politics, but
the votes which make possible the
sale of intoxicants are not furnished
by whisky drinkers, who do not al
ways vote as they drink. The beer
drinker generally will vote to protect
his habit, because he is far from con.
yinced of its malignancy.-From Edi.
torial in Chicago Tribune.
And that is why the w. c. T. U. and
other temperance organizations are
bringing to the masses the truth about
beer and its malignant effects upon
the human organism. Concerning
those effects the Life Extension insti.
tute says in published statement:
"One-half of one quart Of beer is
sufficient to distinctly impair memory,
lower intellectual power and retard
simple mental processes, such as the
addition of simple figures. This mar.
cotic or deadening influence is first
exerted ON the higher reasoning pow.
ers that control conduct, so that the
lower activities OF the mind and nerv.
GUS system are for time released.
The everyday, well-poised, selfcon.
trolled man goes to sleep, as it were,
and the primitive man temporarily
wakes up. Eventually, the nervous
system is narcotized, and the drinker
becomes sleepy. Muscular efficiency
is at first increased a little, and then
lowered, the total effect being a loss
of working power"

In the ordinary climate of this coun-
try it is not necessary to put any
kind of a wall inside the studding: the
building paper and the siding furnish
a wall that is sufficient protection
against the weather. The disadvantage
of rough wall is that it furnishes a
refuge for the various insects that
are found in poultry houses. 1t is
hard to paint rough wall with white
wash or crude oil SO as to reach all
the corners and cracks.
In high-grade poultry establish
ments the wall is finished with
matched ceiling. This gives a very
smooth surface that can be easily
cleaned and kept free from vermin.
Many people think that this is too

Il am glad of it," spoke Harley
Blake, and he looked as if in dead
earnest and relieved
He was seated before the cold and
empty fireplace of his cheerless room.
He made faint glow of heat and
warmth, however, by striking match
and igniting the letter he had just
received and read. He dropped it to
the hearth and watched it curl up
into fragile sheets of black and then
at breath go crumbling into frag-
ments
The last bridge burned" he mused,
trying to smile half-humorously, but
the situation was too serious. Il
have exhausted my friends and rela-
tives. The former gave me profuse
promises of influence and help and
failed me. My fathers own brother
writes me a homily on independence
and thrift, and would not even risk
giving me recommendation of capa-
bility and honesty. That letter is
the last straw that breaks the camel's
back. Good-by to the old life for
goodi"
But there Harley hesitated men,
tally. He was poor In pocket, thought
and expectancy, but love is rich and
he loved Helen Wendell. They had
been more than friendly, but that was
before she had gone away on a long
trip to the Panama canal with her
scientific father-before Harley had
tried to make his way in life in a
practical way, and had failed.
He had not heard from her since.
When poverty and lack of work had
fastened their disheartening grip upon
him, he had cut loose perforce from
