HEALTH FADS SEEM FOOLISH
After All, Their Devotees as hule
lie Down and "Die Like
Anybody Else"

Twenty years ago / knew q man
called Jiggins, who had the health
habit, observes Stephen Leacock in
the Dallas News.
He used to take q cold plunge every
morning. He said 1t opened his pores.
After this he took hot sponge he
said 1t closed the pores. He got SO
that he could open and shut his pores
at win.
Higgins used to stand and breathe
at an open window for half an hour
before dressing. He said 1t expanded
his lungs. He might OF course have
had II done In a shoe shop with
boot stretcher, but, after all, 1t cost
him nothing this way. And what Is
half an hourf
After he had got his vest on jig
gins used to hitch himself up ike a
dog in harness and do shadow exer-
cises. He did them forward, back
ward and hindside DIP.
He could have got job as a dog
anywhere. He spent all his time at
| this kind Of thing. In his spare time
| at the Office he used to lie on his stom-
ach on the floor and see If he could
| lift himself ND with his knuckles. II
| he could then he tried some other way
| until he found one that he couldn't
do. Then he would spend the rest OF
his lunch hour on his stomach, per-
fectly happy.
In the evenings in his room he used
| to lift iron bars, cannon balls, heavy
| dumb bells and haul himself up to the
| ceiling with his teeth.
He Liked IL.
ffs spent half the night singing
himself around the room. He saM II
made his brain clear. When he got
his brain perfectly clear he went te
bed and slept As soon as he woke
he began clearing it again.
Higgins Is dead. He was, Of course

age does not prevent whole genera

SEVENTEEN members OF the Boston
Fish Trust have been sentenced to Jail
and to the payment OF fines of $500 OF
1900. They were convicted of con-
spifacy to raise the prices of fish in
war time and creating monopoly OF
the fish business in New England.
Five OF the members OF the trust are to
be imprisoned for q year and pay a
fine Of 81, 900 each, and the other twelve
are to 60 to jail for six months and nav
$500 each.
AT the trial the fact was brought out
that in consequence of the dominating
position Of the port of Boston, the
price of fish fixed there determines the
price throughout the country 1t will
be remembered that New JERSEY
passed law creating State Board
OF Fisheries, whose principal business
was to take measure to conserve the
saltwater fish supply Of the State,
other than shell-fish in order that
reasonable prices for fish may be main
tanned to the consumers thereof
throughout the State"
Governor Edge appointed at the
head OF the board that statesman,
publicist and economist, former Sem
ator Ace" Francis, OF Monmouth coun
ty, who is reported to be interested in
several fish pounds: alongshore. Pres
tdsnt Francis last year reported that
ne was unable todiscover any evidence
OF the existence of a fish trust, and
that nothing had been done to carry
out the purpose of the law. And that
was exactly the kind OF a report the
public expected to get.
Ii Governor Edge was deceived, he
never made confession. and there is
q strong suspicion that he did not
choose ACE" blindly. The United
States Senator and President Francis
should not overlook the revelations
just made In the Massachusetts court.
There il. or was, fish trust that not
only controlled the New England coast
fisheries. but the field south OF New
England.-Iresaton Times.
Since the above item made its an
psarancs Governor Runyon has accept.
ed the designations OF the members of
the New Jersey State Board of Fisher
les Whether they had read of the
Boston incident is not disclosed, but
reason published for the designations
Is that the members of the Board
asked to be relieved of their official
duties on the ground that there was
no further need for the Board. As
stated aboveths Commission was form.
cd to maintain reasonable prices for
fish but 30 far as the consumers around
here have been able to see nothing
along that line ever happened and the
Board acted wisely when it decided
that there was no further need of its
existence.

Two bills have been introduced IL
Congress which apparently have fo'
their purpose the controlling of tn.
meat market. They are entitled "a
bill to stimulate the production, sal,

II the object of these bills is to stimu-
late the production of live stock 80 tina,
consumers can get meats at lower
rates and can get them without tn.
delay that has been noticed recent,
nobody will complain. But the bill
says land for other purposes. In the
latter phrase appears to be the ''joker. ="
It looks as II it is the intention of this
bill to give the government control OF
all cars that belong to private corpora
tons and press them into general SER
vice. II this is the fact the bill should
be killed. Take the Armour Company
~ an example. That corporation has
q branch at Mount Holly. AS matters
now stand it is hard work for the
agents here to get meat promptly.
Last Sunday week carload came in
and that was all that was received
until the following Saturday. That
was expected to last a week, when as a
fact II hardly sufficed for a day. The
Armour Company has its own refr;Ser-

JUDGE Marshall, of Mercer county.
had before him on Friday student Ct
Princeton preparatory school, who WAS
to be sentenced on two charges OF
granddaughter and one for atrocious as
sault and battery, growing out OF the
killing four persons by running over
them with his automobile. The Judge
said he did not think prison sentence
would serve good end SO he imposed
fines aggregating $500. Leniency
was asked for the defendant but the
court could not see any good reason for
such q move. Burlington county had
two cases some time ago where two
children were killed but the jury in
each case decided that the drivers II
the automobiles were not guilty, a.
though public opinion was that some
sort Of punishment should have been
inflicted. But two innocent lives were
nnuffed out and those responsible fCI
she act were allowed to 60 free. Theirs
are too many instances of careless oil
reckless driving at the expense of life
escaping even censure and it is pleas
ing to note that at least one Judge
does not lean toward that view of such
occurrences.

No one in the Nolan household was

No clew as to who was responsible
for the dynamiting has been uncover

the anarchistic element.
Officials of the two organizations Of

action taken i'm the last week by Rich
ard X. Campbell. commissioner of nat

The local result of Mr.. Campbell's
action was the preparation at the local

Beekman street, of 300 petitions to
revoke declarations Of intention filed
In the local district, which includes all
the federal judicial districts of New
York. except the western district at
Buffalo and also includes Hudson coun-

The petitions presented by Chief
Naturalization Examiner NJ. A. Sturges
are all entitled "in the matter Of the
cancellation of the declaration of in
tention." The names of the declarants
involved in the cancellation applica-
lions are sent to each local naturaliza-

law, received them from draft boards
throughout the country. This law re-
cited that persons making claims for
exemption on the ground that they had
filed only their first papers and did not
intend to proceed further, would have
their first papers revoked and would
be debarred from citizenship in the
future. The draft boards were in
structed to send to the naturalization
bureau at Washington the names of all
persons claiming such exemption, with
an affidavit by the declarant to that
effect and a copy of his first papers.

ARM|ST|CE TERMS
ACCEPTED BY HUNS
GERMANS COMPLAIN At ALLEGED
SEVERITY, BUT SIGN JUST
THE SAME.
New Terms Expected to Avert What
Promised to Be Critical Situation
German Operations Against Pc
land to Be Restricted.

Paris.-The German government, al
though complaining of the alleged Sc
verify Of the terms, has accepted the
allied terms for the extension of the
armistice, according to an announce
ment made by Marshal FOch to the SUI
preme council on February II.
The signing took place at 9 o'clock
Sunday evening on board Marshal
foch's private car at Treves.
This averts what promised to be a
rather critical situation, as it had been
reported that the Germans might per-
sist in carrying out their intimations
Of refusal to sign.
The new terms. while still withheld,
are understood to restrict German OBJ
erations against Poland within certain
fxed lines, thus removing the danger
Of a military clash, and at the same
time opening access between the inte-
riOr Of Poland and the Baltic sea.
The more important results will take
form shortly, when Marshal Foch re-
turns to Treves for submission of the
oCtuiiS VI Tic ulSttTludIueII anu ueInOD-
flization of the German forces, when
are being formulated by the militory,
naval and economic advisers of r Jcn.
These are of nature amounting, IN
TACT, to preliminary peace agree

ciude both the naval and military
branches, and the naval authorities OK
pect the ultimate naval terms will pro-
vide for the dismantlng of the fortifi-
cations of HelgOland and the Kiel ca
nal, the canal being opened for COM
mercial navigation.
While the blockade is not raised by
the present terms, yet it is expected
that the disarmament under later and
more complete terms will obviate the
necessity Of a further blockade and
permit such economic and food -elief
