HEALTH HINTS
By DIR. H. Llewellyn Harris, Jr.

For |, the Lord thy God am a
jealous God, visiting the iniquities of
the fathers up on the children of the
third and fourth generations of them
that hate me, and sowing no mercy
and loving kindness to thousands of
them that love me and keep my COM
mandments."
If in the foregoing we understand
health commandments, we have sit
uation which daily faces physicians
ad which will make a study of the
laws of health, the most important
study of the coming years. Begin
ming with birth there are certain
laws which must be obeyed if we are
to have normal growth and devel-
opment. Natural instincts tell the
lower animals wha tbs good and what
is bad in the way of food. The nee
essities of gaining a living make nee
essary active exercise. Life in the
open gives the sunshine and fresh
air without which healthy animal life
is impossible. Before man enjoyed
the blessings or probably the curse
of modern civilized life, he lived in
the open, hunted, worked and slept
exposed to air and sunshine. His
skin was unclothed and his food hard
fruits, nuts, roots and raw fruits,
Vegetables and meats. Due to the abb
sence of houses and crows diseases
of the lungs, nose and throat were
unknown. Consumption, pneumonia
and bronchial diseases are the results
of attempting to fit man to houses
rather than to fit houses to the uses
of man.
Mans habits have entirely changed
he no longer eats hard fruits, nuts.
roots, herbs and grasses. His diet
now consists of highly seasoned,
easily prepared soft dishes which
make no demand upon his weak jaws,
teeth, stomach and muscles.
Before a fireman begins to run a
furnace, he learns what fuel is fit
ted to do the work which is required
Men are more and more learning that
the food which they eat must be fit
ted to their individual requirements.
What is one mans meat is often an
other mans poison. As result there
has grown up in the medical profes-
sion distince speciality devoted to
the study Of finding out what foods,
exercises and living conditions are
required to meet the need of each

in 1892, then there was the "Shev-
lins's notorious gang of pickpockets
to say nothing of the safe blowers
and "yeg" who lived in rooming hous-
es on Green, Peoria, and Morgan
Streets. Prejudice did not exist then
as it does now and white and colored
mingled freely with each other and
police officers both white and colored
worked in harmony. A colored po-
liceman or detective was not con-
fined to doing police work among col
ored people only-and. in many in
stances colored police worked solely
in white districts and never came in
contact with their own people only
when off duty; so it was with Martin
French.
Officer French, was not the first
coloi.ed man appointed but out-ranks
all others through longevity and CON
tinous service-Jas. Shelton, was the
first colored man appointed to the de-
partment-he was appointed in 1873
by Mayor Heath, but no record of
his appointment can be found in the
files of the Secretary of Police; John
Fletcher, Sr., also antidates Officer
French but his service covered only
a few years.
Officer French comes out Ola fam
lily of prominent men. His brother
John French, is caterer who in the
$50" bought out the Eckhart Cater
ing Company and operated the same
for great many years under the
name of French and Shaw, Seward
French of the Chicago Health Depart
ment is another brother, also d. P.
French, one of the Chicago's pioneer
business men. The French family
lived over on the West side until
about 1900, when thy moved to the
South side; Martin French purchased
two story fiat building 5711 Wa
bash Avenue, and lived at his address
until his wife died in 1905, since
the death of his wife he has resided
in the Second Ward
Officer French, travels out of the
Cottage Grove Avenue Station, and
is as active as he was twenty years
ago, and bears reputation for eff
cheney second to none; he constantly
refuses to travel in plain clothes"
as he says that there is nothing to it
but extra work and no credit, and the
man who travels a post gets the same
salary as the man who does detective
work. His maip objection being
that the politician who placed him in
"plain clothes" can take him out
disregardless of the fact that he
has done efficient service.

Martin Van Buren, French.


Martin Van Buren, French, born
Winchester, Kentucky, January "a,
1853, bears the distinction of being
the oldest living police officer of
color-connected with the Chicago
Police Department. Officer French
was appointed a patrolman February
IL, 1883, and has served continuously
since his appointment and has never
missed days work other than those
of his vacation period. He is an offic-
er of the old school and graduated
from under the tutorship of such
men as Inspector of Police John
Shea, Inspector Wheeler, and Chief
of Detectives Andy Rohan.
Inspector Shea, was reputed to be
one of the greatest police officers in
the world, and Andy Rohan, was
known as the man of the iron nerve /;
it was he who single handed captured
the desperate "Bill" Allen, who had
killed several men during the day
and the entire police department had
surrounded his hiding place which
was a chicken coop laying on the
loading platform of the Chicago, Mil.

Martin French has served in the
majority of the many police stations
throughout Chicago, both as "plain

Inspector Shea was in command of
the West Division he appointed Mar

being the most efficient officers on

more especially so over on the "West
Side" which had the reputation of
hargoring more desperate criminals
than any one spot in the United

had not been perfected and Chicago
was little more than a large Border

A DOG IMMORTALrzED

London.-King Edward Vlls famous deg. Caesar, is immortallzed in the new tomb of that sovereign in St. Georges chaNsl, Windsor, which has not yet been unveiled. At the foot of the recumbent figure of the King lies the little dog, in marble, coiled up in sleep
 That this association would have been approved by King Edward there is little doubt, for he was devoted to his Irish terrier, which accompanied him wherever he went. Caesar in con- sequence, became a national character and was the subject of endless news paper paragraphs and at least ona book. On the plate on his collar was inscribed, T am Caesar. the Kings Dog" After King Edwards death his widow, Queen Alexandra, took charge of Caesar, who soon followed his mas ter.
 He Is the first dog belonging to an English monarch of whose name there is any record. None of King Edwards predecessors since the days of the Stu arts appears to have been a great lover Of dogs, though Queen Victoria is said to have had one near her when she died. Charles II once advertised for lost pet, "a black dog. between a greyhound and a spaniel. It is His Matestie's own dog, and doubtless was stolen, for the dog was not born nor bred in England and would never for leave robbing His Majestic? Must he not keep dog? This dogs place dhough better than some imagine} is the only place which nobody offers to beg"
 The dogs name was not given.

IS HIGHLY PAID

New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch. 2
 Within the next few weeks one of the highest paid workmen in the United States will retire and take life easy" He is a little withered, foreign born, foreign speaking man, who works day after day in his cheerless little dwell inG at the end of the Coney Island ele- vated line in Brooklyn. Yet he makes on an average s1.S0o a week making thermometers. He has average this amount for years, but his wealth hasn't bothered him to any considerable ex- tent. His wife and one child live in the cheerless little dwelling and they do not intend to move, says the hus- band. after the days of work are over.
 Of Russian birth, this thermometers maker learned his trade when a boy. Like our own lamented Uncle John Brashear. he perfected himself until the products of his labor came to be sought after in every land. He says he long ago set a limit on the amount of money he intended making. That goal is close now and soon the days of toll will be over for him.

 You should not knock matrimony. If 1t were not for wives, husbands would not change their socks as often as they do
 One kind of woman can make the worry and work of married life seem a pleas ure to man. And the other kind of woman can make alimony seem good investment to man.

Biggest Factor

The thing which at the present time is the biggest factor Tn the fu- ture development of Birmingham and Jefferson county is our terminal on the Warrior river, Brmingport." says Charles F. Henderson.
 We have come to a point in the country where we have outgrown our railroads. The amount of freight that is being shipped monthly is far in ex- cess of the carrying power of the rail- way systems. The answer to the prob- lem is to utilize water facilities as much as possible. The Birmingport Company saw the advantages of plac- ing river terminal and immediately began construction.
 The very name of Birmingport is suggestive of prosperity. The part, 'Birming,' seems to hint of industrial supremacy. From the city of Birming- ham, England, this name has been con- nected with bustling manufacturing center. Port is suggestive of com merce. ships and foreign trade. The word was happily chosen and should spell future greatness for our city"

THE BJSHOP,S "JrNBREILA.

From the World Outlook.
 The Bishop" is like no other African He has acquired the graces of the court of St. James and surprising gift of re- partee, using smiles and grunts chiefly. He is taller and older than any native ir the neighborhood, which is the To- cality suburban to Vavati, Portuguese East. For years he has trekked with m1s- sionaries. He has carried their packs. over miles of trail. His name was chosen by himself in memory of Bishop Hartzell, with whom he travelled.
 Yet The Bishop Is still heather, and proud of it. Among the other Africans in any given travelling party he is as conscious of his heather distinction as Tom Sawyers friend Jim was of his reputation for having seen evil spirits.
 On a recent expedition a missionary saw The Bishop for the first time, and was particularly struck with The Bish- ops pride in his loin cloth, a well-tailored trifle fashioned from monkey skin and built around large brass ring. It De- gan to rain The Bishop looked solicit- ously at the garment-much as lady caught umbrellaless will look at her pew spring suit when rain comes. The Bishop had no umbrella, but from somewhere he produced a Prince Albert coat and buttoned 1t tightly about him. It served its purpose The new loin cloth escaped unscatched.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL INVASION

From the New York Times.
 True to his gracious mission of nro- noting democratic harmony, MT. Bry2n Invaded Alabama for the purpose of preventing the denomination of Sena- ter Underwood, who when a represen- tative in Congress refused to accept or ders from him. It Is an old erudre which MT. Bryan has fattened. This year MT. Underwoods crime was his rebellion against the sacred commands cf the Anti-Saloon League. So it's ar- genuine orator marched into the bowels of MT. Underwood's state to discinlina and defeat him. Unfortunately. the Alabama democrats are a stiff-necked generation. MT. Underwood has been renominated in the democratic prf- nlaries. MT. Bryan, suasive as ba ,s and stern as is his resolution to over throw the ungodly mutineers against him and virtue in geneeal. could hardly hope Tor the success in Alabama that re achieved in his own state.
 Alabama is yegrettably backward state It doesn't flet republicans vote lr democratic primaries. To this m. happy advantage Mr Bryan can ar- trloute this slight and doubtless. trivial anG local resistance to Jhis beneficent alms and his radiant progress toward san francisco and the Temple of cok- cord.

 The auditorium is an immediate necessity. The people are crying for it now. They want it just as soon as it can be built.
 If mental horoscopes of civic cen ters tend to delay, they should be ais carded so far as the auditorium is concerned.
 The more the city grows the more valuable and necessary will park spaces become. That should be borne in mind.
 But, to reiterate, all things should be subservient to having the audi torium built as soon as possible, as economically as possible.
 Not one, but a dozen, sites are available. The committee is wise in extending it's vision to all.
