JAMES eoRnoN RENNErr.

A figure long and prominently iden- tifed with newspaper activity on both sides of the Atlantic has passed away in the death of James Gordon Bennett. With the responsibility of carrying on Che of the big metropolitan journals, the New York Herald thrust upon him at an early age. he being only little over 30 when his father, who had built up the paper from small begin nings through persistent effort and the catering to the demands of the public, died and the task of carrying on the enterprise was thrown upon his shoulders.
 He didn't vince but showed that he possessed much the same qualities as his father and for nearly a half cen tury has been one of the leading and most active directors of such a busi- | ness. His resourcefuiness was dem | cnstrated in many ways, among which
 the sending of Stanley to Africa, the 1 fitting out of an expedition to dis cover the north pole and his partici- patton in the laying of the Atlantic cable stand out most prominently
 They represented departure in jour nalism which was epoch making. Mr
 Bennett had ideas regarding the con | duet of a newspaper which were | unique. He was persistent in his be- | lief and his methods and for the last | quarter century in spite of the diff

 that period was spent in New York i From his action he was seemingly {

There the information was gleaned from the German prisoners whom we took that they had received orders not to capture any more of our men, to kill them. Then our eyes opened to the real situation.

 Maytime is moving time. also the time to change from winter to sum mer garments and the time to change the diet.
 Common sense prescribes that we change the weight of our clothing to meet the changes of climate. Common sense, too, tells us to change our diet.
 Nature suggests this change to us by the sudden abundance of vegetables and fruits. Almost unConsciously we discard the heavy meat and potato diet of the winter and take natures little hint.
 And there is no better tonic under the sun than the tonic of right and proper food. Many people who think they need a spring tonic to start lag ging spirits into action, simply need change of food.
 The liver needs quickening, after a winters work with heavy foods. Spin ach. watercress, lettuce, celery and dandelion greens provide the best liver regulator on the market. Spinach alone contains ali the iron and nitre that the blood needs at this time. Get after spinach.
 Rhubarb is another tonic for the times, and it is so cheap that 1t is within the reach of all. Nothing under heaven is better for children at this time of year It cleanses and cools the system of the child, and puts the old fashioned doses of sulphur and 1 malasses in the shade. Look to the supply of rhubarb as well.-Bridgepor Telegram.
