Food Combinations.

Mr.. F.--Attributing future break
downs to wrong food combinations, such
as your friend claims, is, to me, Spe-
flcious form of reasoning. Breakdowns
may be due to a dozen different factors.
I know of no acknowledged scientific
food research worker, such as Steen-
book, Eddy, McCollum or Sherman, who
claims that foods must be eaten in GER
tain combinations for health. There Is
no doubt that some stomachs are upset
by certain combinations, but the healthy
one is not. The chief thing to remem-
Der is to get the proper amount OF all
the necessary elements in the days diet.
You say you now eat every conbina-
Ton. So can every normal person.
Most foods are mixtures OF different
food principles. You eat bread alone
and you get carbohydrates, protein and
fat; and eating a different protein, for
instance, with this, would not necessi-
tate any different type of gastric diges-
ton. Food faddists and cultistS are
strong on food combination ideas. They
get results, chiefly, / think, because by
following their instructions many who
have habitually overeaten stop the
habit I repeat, the chief point to re-
member about combinations of food is
to get all the needed elements every
day, and you may take them in any
way you like that agrees with you.
Regarding your question about spin
acll: Spinach does have some oxalic
acid, which may be harmful If there is
a condition of acidosis. For the average

able vitamins and iron and other min

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

May Is, 1851. T. Edd of Alexan-
dria, was arrested here this afternoon
by Officer D. w. Westerfield upon
information that he was attempting to
tamper with troops of the Federal Gov
eminent and to persuade them to desert
and join the Southern Army. He was
taken to the guardhouse and a pre-
liminary examination was held before
Justice Dom in the presence of Col.
Stone of the District Volunteers and
Capt. Allen of New Jersey.
Daniel Cox, a barkeeper at Werner
Restaurant, testified that Edd was in
that restaurant and made propositions
to two Union soldiers of the New Jersey
brigade, one of whom was George
Haney, a private in Capt. Aliens COM
pany of the Sd Regiment. He said Edd
proposed to Haney that he desert and
as an inducement offered to give him
money and extra clothing, send him to
Alexandria in a hack and thence to
Richmond. where he was told he would
get better pay than from the Federal
Government and serve under better
man" John Kerwin corroborated this
testimony.
Thomas E. Williams, another witness,
said he had heard portion of the
conversation of Edd with Haney, and
heard Haney speak of going Into jeff
Davis army" He said the two men left
the restaurant together and had pro-
ceeded as far as the Seventh strut
bridge when he caused Edd'S arrest.
William j. Donohoo, former tax COLI
lector, was arrested tonight by squad
of the Metropolitan Rifles and taken to
the guardhouSe to await the orders of
Gen. Mansfield. The Metropolitan
Rifles have been on the lookout for him
since his return from Virginia. The
charge against him is understood to
be taking up arms against the United
States.
1t is rumored that search is being
made for other suspected persons who
have been in disunion camps. aiding
and abetting the Confederate cause with
and advice.
Every day the Pennsylvania troops
quartered in the vicinity of the City
Hall and the assembly rooms appear
in drill on the grounds adjoining their
quarters. Under the instruction of
West Point graduates, on duty with
them, the men are making rapid
progress and are daily complimented by
hundreds of persons who have watched
them since their arrival in this city.
