When n man eats too fast the food
is not chewed well enough. 1t is
passed into the stomach in such large
pieces that so much time is required
for the gastric Juice to dissolve it from
without tnwards that that 1t begins TO
rot, to turn sour, causing long list
of physical and mental maladies.
If meal is eaten with great de-
liberation, an expanding, heating,
liquefying process begins and keeps
pace with the meal, and the man
does not feel like a gorged anaconda.
That we all eat more than we can
assimilate is unquestionable. How
can we determine the right quantitvY
Instinct should guide US, but an alb
normal appetite often leads us astray.
Natures plans are perfect If her laws
are obeyed. Disease follows disobedf-

Be regular at meals. All functions
of life occur In regular cycles, and
are never performed well when these cy-
cles are disturbed. Whatever the In
terval or number of meals regularity
should be preserved

Although cheerfulness of disposition

While on the subject of politics, it is
necessary to make some mention of the
dOings of the Socialist convention in
New York. 1t wound up by nominating
Eugene " Debs for the presidency
which has grown into a habit-despite
the fact that Mr.. Debs is serving time
for violating the espionage act. In it's
earlier sessions the convention fought
over the radical declaration of princi-
pies submitted by the Illinois delega-
ton, providing for the dictatorship of
the proletarfat" and limitation of citi-
zenship. Morris HiIlquit and his CON
sentative" followers beat this plan by
a large majority. The same faction
compelled the eradication of an of
fensive reference to churches from the
party platform.

The vets in the ranks of the Demo

The French government astounded
the radicals of that country by sudden
ly ordering the dissolution of the Cen
eraI Federation of Labor, which has
been supporting the strike of railway
men by calling other strikes. The min
lister of justice issued judicial infor-
nation against the leaders of the Or
ganization, and the minister of war
distributed troops through the city to
prevent disorders. Premier MiIerand
emphaticaliy refused to compromise
with the labor leaders and the latter
declared the governments action
would not stop their activities.
In Italy the socialists, with the aid
of the popular party, succeeded in over
throwing the ministry, and Prime Min
lister Nitti and his colleagues resigned

but had been the object of lnnCmerable
bitter attacks from both the Catholics

Each party now has a candidate for
the presidential nomination who avow-
edly favors so liberal enforcement of
the prohibition amendment that the
sale and use of light wines and beers
will be permitted. Governor Edwards
campaign among the Democrats is well
under way and now Senator Joseph 1.
France of Maryland has made his en-
try into the Republican race. In his
announcement the senator says:
81 believe In referendum to the
people on the question of whether the
eighteenth amendment should be en-
forced In such way as TO prevent the
distribution of light wines and beer as
other commodities are distributed.
Such a referendum. whatever the out
come, would go far toward allaying
national unrest.

yention in Chicago in which there is a
deadlock and it is found necessary to
turn to some candidate whose name
has not heretofore been considered,

Not only Kiev, but also Odessa, the
Black sea port, fell into the possession
of the Poles and Ukrainians who are
fighting to free the Ukraine from the
Russian bolsheviki. The latter, how
ever, have organized strong lines of
resistance east of Kiev and assert that
they expect the war with Poland to
continue for years. 1t is understood
that the convention signed by Poland
and Ukrainia just before the present
drive opened provides for Polish out
let to the Black sea, which has been
one of Polands national ambitions for
centuries. Poland agrees to give
Ukrainia military support for ten

Moscow, and there were conjectures
that the cooperative societies might
have engineered a rising against the
bolsheviki.

charges against the navy department.
In the course of his testimony he re-
vealed the secret instructions given
naval officers by President Wilson
when they started for European wa
tiers. These were to the effect that they
must maintain the American tradition
of audacity ito the utmost point of
risk and daring" and he added that
the British had been too cautious to
make full use of their naval supremacy
against the Germans. This latter point
was emphasized in a confidential ca
blegram from the president to Sims,
which the secretary read. Mr.. Dan
iels contradicted many. of the asser-
tfons made by the admiral, and said
the latter aspired to become member
of the British admiralty and put his
personal ambition before his duty to
his country, his superiors and his as
sociates.
