 The letter, then, is from certain foreign potentate who has been ruff fled by some recent Colonial develop ments of this county. It has been written hurriedly and upon his own responsibility entirely. Inquiries have shown that his Ministers know noth- ing of the matter. At the same time il is couched in so unfortunate a manner. and certain phrases in it are of so provocative a character. that it's publication would undoubtedly lead to a most dangerous state of feeling in this country.

 pr. Kellogg, of Battle Creek, visit ed several religious orders in Europe, comprising several thousand mem bers, generally vegatarians, among all of whom a case of appendicitis has never occurred. A well-known sur geon, Dr. G. K. Dickinson, of Jersey City, declared that physicians practic- ing in China, where red meat is sell dom eaten, have rarely met cases of appendicitis among many thousands of patients.
 Man is the only animal that has ever been known to suffer from ap- pendicItis. He is the only animal that makes eating a pleasure. who
 gourmandizes and overfills his intes- tinal tract with highly nitrogenous
 proteid foods (meats), and who eats more than can bed igeSted-the un-
 digested portions proceeding to pois-
 onous decomposition Red meat in
 the intestinal tract is poison. There
 is some connection between GIuttonY
 and appendicitis; but there is a stronger connection between red
 meats and appendicitis.

ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
In Doubt About Tove
By BEATRICE TARTAN.


 l am almost twenty-five and en- gagged to a man thirteen years my se- nlor This man is kind and consid- crate and would do anything to please me. At times I feel that Iove, him dearly; and, again, I am doubtful. W4ll you kindly tell me what love really is? Is one when in love hap py always or do they at times feel as do-doubtfuI and undecide ed {? Does person pick their mate among the characteristics they prefer. and, liking these preferences, love the per son so endowed or is a person in love so afflicted that they care for noth- ing but the company of the loved one :?
 VIVIANA.
 Love is never an "affEction.' But those who love most sincerely and deeply realize that life to be full rounded thing requires more than a single interest and stimulation. Of course. you'll have interests outside those your lover brings to you. Of course. you'n see the world as a, large place in which you two are but atoms. As you write of your contemplated marriage Eou seem to lack only the basic attraction without which two are not perfectly mated.

 In the sketch today you see one used on a four post bed, and in the foreground of the picture a portion of an oval rag rug shows. At the windows hang straight scrim cur tains. The entire scheme is in keep ing. Such a room is suitable to a colonial house, or to a simple in formal home.
 It is delightful to know that pat terms for these quilts come stamped and with them printed directions for the making. The work is not hard and will make delightful sewing for the summer months. The small squares are made separately and when completed sewn together. If one is happy in the possession of a real antique quilt she will find great pleasure in copying the design in different colorings.

Declaring Prices Show Little
Effect on Their Finan-

Declining prices in food, and clothing
have had little effect on the financial sta
tus of the students IN Columbia. The
situation, which was critical LAST term.
has not recently improved; in fact, in
dicaiions are that students are daily grow
ing poorer.
The amount Of wooden" checks is a
fairly accurate thermometer on such con-
diIions. Bankers and merchants all de
clare that despite the movement against
bad checks, students are still careless.
One merchant said today that he never
makes trip to the bank without bring
ing back with him handful Of worthless
checks tOialing from $50 TO $500.
A teller in one of the banks said that
formerly there were Just certain num-
Der Of students who inevitably would
Overdraw every month. But today a big
per cent Of their student customers let
their accounts get in the red, he said.
Another merchant said that at least
thirty men came to him to borrow mon
ey to pay their laboratory fees. That
was just week after vacations time
when students should have money il ever.
