ment lacks. It was said on behalf OF
the administration when Boyd and
Won Papen were sent home that moth
ing specific was known against them.
Their dismissal was on general
grounds, while Ambassador Dumba
was asked to leave the United States
because he had some hand in the at
tempt to stir up strikes, but no act
of incendiarism or mountaineering
was charged against him. II Colonel
Roosevelt has evidence that will con-
meet the German ambassador with the
plots that he denounces, 1t certainly
is his duty to make that evidence
available to the government. Con-
gress should appoint another investi-
eating committee to interview the
colonel and get the facts. OF course,
If 1t should prove that he is merely
talking through his sombrero again,
as before, In an effort to throw a
monkey wrench into the delicate ma
chinery Of our foreign relations and
discredit the administration, he will
experience no more uneasiness in the
process Of eating crow than he did
when he declined to meet a former
committee. The colonel disavows his
own statements, when in a tight pinch,
just as easily and with the same
charming grace that he calls other
men liars.

0vereating and How 1t Works.

To have a good appetite and be a
competent "table-cleaner" is the pop
ular sign of good health. Yet overeat-
ing is a grand thing for us doctors.
One who eats more than he can
metabolize or burn up is likely to ex-
perience one or more of the following
effects: Constipation, autointoxica-
ton, biliousness, stomach trouble,
gas" fiatulency, that tired feeling,
drowsiess,. laziness, gradual develop
ment of obesity, liver complaint, irri-
liability and divorce. Nobody loves a
fat man; even his own wife just toll
crates him.
Along toward thirty-five or forty
oVereating begins to get in its work
on the body. BY this time ones habits
are becoming fixed, ones opinions are
becoming set, and it is hard to change
ones mind about anything so vital as
the daily bread. One eats, say, one slice
of bread more than one really needs
| each day, and on this system gains
about twenty pounds in weight each
year. One feels mean and out of sorts a
few hours after the indulgence, and
attributes the indisposition to hunger:
| so one tackles big dinner, and sure
enough one feels fine for an hour or
two after eating. Food in excess is
i somewhat stimulating, or should we
say narcotic, in effect; very much like
alcohol or tobacco in the light smoker
! or the moderate drinker. Over-induI-
gence Temporarily stimulates one out
OF his lassitude and stupidity.
This tired out all the time" feel
ing, this so-called "neurasthenia." so
frequently charged to over-work and
business worry, is usually a mere ex-
preston of autointoxication from
overeating. There is nothing about
work or business to hurt any ordi-
narily sound mans nerves. But il is an
easy thing to poison the nerve cells
as well as all the other cells of the
body with an excess of nutriment.
The Bread and Milk club Is now
crowded. The only way we see to
create vacancies is by killing off a
rev old members, but they seem to
hold on with the utmost determine
/ ton once they have weathered the
first two or three blue Mondays. Per-
maps the victims of overeating can
start little auxiliaries of their own
without formally applying for mem
bafship 1t takes only one memher n

Live Wire Fence Marks Border.

continuous wire fence, charged
with electricity at high tension, marks
the border line between Belgium and
Holland. To touch the wire means in
slant death, and it is seemingly impos-
sible for even a cat to crawl through
unscathed. AS a matter of fact
electrocuted dogs, cats and chickens
are often found enmeshed in the
wires. Resolute smugglers, however,
are undismayed and constantly devise
new tricks to circumvent the Zine of
death"
In the field near Baarle- Naussau
close to the frontier, a whole set OF
contrivances has been discovered
which enable man to cross the line
unharmed. The principal object was
a nat oblong piece of wood, provided
with a rubber located groove length
wise down the center. Then, by means
OF hinged and jointed side-supports,
the wire is pushed upwards and a
tuhnel-like opening appears, through
which an ordinary-s sized man, lying on
MS back, may safely wriggle without
coming into contact with the fatal

HEALTH INSURANCE.

The first American bill to establish
compulsory health insurance for work
ers has just been introduced into the
Massachusetts legislature.
Modelled after the systems now in
use in Germany and Great Britain the
Massachusetts plan will cover any
sickness, accident or death not covered
by the workmens compensation act OF
the state, and it applies TO all workers
earning less than 500 month.
Benefits to insured members will
include medical, surgical and nursing
attendance, medicine and surgical sup
plies, cash benefit for a maximum OF
26 weeks in a year and limited fu-
neral benefit.
The cost is divided into three parts,
20 per cent to be assumed by the state,
while the remaining so per cent is to
divided equally between employers
and insured employees.
The figures quoted in the following
statement by Representative Chandler,
sponsor of the bill, drive home, better
than words, the need of this sort of
legislation.
Sickness is the principal cause OF
beth restitution and poverty. All
workers have on an average at least
nine days of sickness in the year. Ac-
cording to statistics 43.5 per cent of
93,571 industrial workers of Massa-
chusetts receive less than SO per
week On this wage, it is easily seen
that the worker himself cannot ade-
quateIy provide for the eXigencies OF
sickness"

CALL THE COLONEL.

When Colonel Roosevelt some time
ago, in pursuance of his declared in
tention TO tear Wilson to pieces,
charged that the president and others
had proposed a shipping bill at the
first session of the present congress
for the purpose Of helping foreign
ship owners to sell their informed
ships to the United States, he was
promptly asked to come to Washing
ton and tell congress under oath all
about this wicked conspiracy against
the government. He declined the in
Nitation, admitting that he knew moth
ing about the matter except some ru-
mors that he had heard. And some
time later the congressional commit
tee appointed TO investigate the
charge reported that it had no foun-
dation whatever. History does not
record that the colonel ever apologized
for his slanderous statement or con-
signed himself to his own Ananias
club.
In a recent speech, the colonel
made some more charges. This time
it is not the president who has been
betraying the country. The colonel
does not even intimate that he has
had a direct hand in the plot-a
strange omission from the Roosevelt
ian statement. But the colonel de-
clares that the German and Aus
trian government, through their &C
credited representatives in the en-
bassies here, have carried on cam
paign Of the bomb and the torch
against our industries. The action
our government should have taken in
view of this campaign was not mere
ly action against Dumba, Won Papen
and Boyd. but the holding of the
German and Austrian governments
p themselves responsible for every mu-
milton plant that was blown up OF
damaged"
II would seem from this that the
colonel Is in possession OF some au-
thentics information that the govern

Unmasking the Interests

HON, CLYDE H. TAVENNER
OF ILLINOIS,
In the House of Representatives
Wednesday, December Is. 1915

believe that il congress should de-
eide to manufacture all of it's battle
ships, submarines, armor, guns, and
munitions and place the burden of the
cost of the army and navy upon in
comes and inheritances, where it
should be placed, the Navy league
would forthwith close the doors Of its
lobby in the national capital and its
hackers would be the loudest to pro-
test against an annual expenditure Of
$250,000,000 for war in time of peace
/ am not contending that our great
financiers who own stock in war-traf-
ticking firms and cry out to heaven
through the Navy league for prepara-
ton for war have no patriotism, but
| do assert that it is very difficult
matter to figure out what proportion
Of their preparedness agitation is due
TO love of country and what proportion
to love of dividends.
Morgan and business associates Of
Morgan appear to have always been
in control of the Navy league, al
though there have been at all times
numbered among the officers, di-
rectors and honorary vice presidents
men whose disinterested patriotism is
beyond question. And the members of
the league as whole can at the very
faint, as it is probable that for the
most part they joined the organization
in the belief its hackers were prompt
ed by considerations wholly and pure
ly patriotic and that the inspirations
of its founders were not in any sense
directly or remotely associated with
the business Of making and selling ar
NOR and cannon
There are but three firms in the
United States that manufacture armor
plate-Midvale, Bethlehem, and Car
negie companies and each of them is
represented in the list of 10 men who,
according to the official journal of the
Navy league, were the founders of the
organization.
Az LllS llluS IllS pdi tlIuluI liSt VI
10 founders of the Navy league was
published there were some S0,000,000
or 9O,000,000 ordinary individuals and
thousands of directors of corporations
in the United States.
Is it not rather peculiar coinci-
dence that among those 10 patriots
who stepped forth from all the mil
lions of American citizens to save the
republic by advocating larger appro-
| priations for battleships, every armor-
making concern in the United States
should be represented? And that the
greater half of the 10 patriots were
connected with firms that would di-
rectly profit from such propaganda?
! And that most of those who were not
directly concerned with such firms
were connected in some manner with
! individuals or firms that would profit?
/ To expect the intelligent men and wo-
men of this country to agree with the
/ Navy league officials that this was nor
a peculiar coincidence is to assume
