 Food is taken into the human body for the purpose of producing heat. The standard of its value is the man ner of heat units it contains. If too little fuel is taken into the human body an insufficient number of heat units to operate it are received and it works inefficiently. If, on the other hand, too great an amount of food is taken. the body becomes clogged and works just as ineficiently as if it had received too small an amount. The most important thing Is to remove promptly all of the waste materials remaining after the food has given up it's heat units. The elimination of these materials is one of the func- tioNS of the intestinal canal. One of the requisites of good health is an educated intestinal apparatus.
 Man in our present state of civiliza- ton is oblibed to pay particular at tention to functions which in a state of nature took care of themselves. A robust man engaged in active exercise in the open air may commit deitary indiscretions which would be exceed ingly harmful to a Sedentary worker. Exercse as a part of the daily life is, however, absolutely necessary for both. Plain, wholesome food is just as necessary for the brain worker as for him who labors with his hands. Above all, both must keep the human furnace we'll shaken down and with out accumulation of ashes and debris in order that the fires of life may burn brightly and steadily.

PRENIEDlTATED

Indications are that another week or even less may bring us into war with Germany.
 Their rulers have weighed the cost and figured that war by which they would be able to sink as many of the ships enroute to England with food and destroy as many munition factor ieS as possible is preferable to peace.
 Efforts to get us involved with Mexico, so that our munition factories would have to stop making ammuni- tion to sell to the allies and make it for ourselves, failed.
 Germany knows that pressed to the limit the United States will fight quicker to protect her rights at sea than for &ny other cause. For this reason the Eagle screamed at Tripoh, when We were mere baby among nations, and taught that bunch of Mediterranian pirates where to head in. Then We fought a second war with England and raised TOW with France, although the French had been of material aid in beating off the British, all because they wouldn't leave our ships alone And after the Civil war we made England pay an indemnity of $l5.OOO,OOO for helping the ConfederateS ruin American com merce with their privateerS.
 Germany cannot buy from us and get it delivered, so with continued peace all the advantages lay with the allies. If she could by ruthless sub marine war" cut off England she has a chance to force favorable terms of peace.
 It's war to the end in Europe and the German military chiefs being all ready opposed by as many men and as much ammunition aS can be hand led along all the fronts have nothing to fear from more soldiers even if the United States could send an army right away. And she probably figures that at the end she could get better terms of peace with the U s. in, for We are a generous foe.
 Hence, ruthless submarine war fare" regardless.

REP. HE'D IS
 DEAD, CAME TO
 ALASKA IN '95
Counsel in Forestry Fund Cases and Old Timer
 Dies at Frisco

JUNEAU. - (SpeciaD - Attorney John G. Held, republican representa- tive elect, died on the morning of January 25th at San Francisco after a short illness. He was one of the old residents of Juneau, coming north in 1885.
 During the past thirty odd years, in addition to the duties devolving up on him as a lawyer he was engaged in sundry mining enterprises.
 Held was national committeeman of the Republican party, from Alaska, for eight years and was delegate to the Philadelphia convention in 1900 when Mckinley was nominated for president, for his second term. He also attended the Republican Nation al Convention in Chicago in 1904 when Theodore Roosevelt was nomi- mated for the presidency.
 John G. Held was married to Miss. Henrietta Jensen, who had been a government teacher in Juneau, in July, 1888. Besides the widow there survive three grown daughters, Mrs. V. N. Dupuy, and Misses Gertrude and Elizabeth all of whom now reside in the city.
 At the time of his death he was in San Francisco to argue on behalf of the members of the Territorial legis- lature of AlaskS the case involving the distribution of the forest funds. He left Juneau for this purpose early this month with the intention of re- turning to Alaska about two weeks before the next legislature meets to which he had been elected a member of the lower house from the First dl- vision, by the largest plurality re- ceived by any candidate. He also served as a member of the previous legislature.

TOO MUCH LAW

The lieutenant governor of Penn sylvania has been looking into the legislative product of the various states and of congress for the past five years and finds that more than 6O.OO0 laws have been enacted in that period, by their very bulk menace to the business of the nation and the welfare and peace of mind of its peo- ple. The United States and the vari- ous states are now so overburdened with law, and much of it useless law, that it amounts to national handicap
 Not only is the business of the country bound with useless chains, but it Is bi-anuually threatened with a new stock of letters, imposing a constant sense of insecurity and business incertitude.
 Legislators now attending to their duties can render no greater service to their constituencies than by holding down new laws to actual necessities. Much revolutionary legislation was enacted in the various states two ,cars ago. Some of the radical changes in policies have not yet been fuliy tried out. The past two years nave been years of readjustment and of experiment with the conditions of new legislation, and we are now not
