Attorney General in both of the Monroe
administrations and in the cabinet also Of
John Quincy Adams.
He was a candidate for the presidency In
1882 on the anti-Masonic ticket, Amos ELL
maker of Pennsylvania being the candidate
for Vice President. His ticket received seven
electoral votes, Andrew Jackson, a past grand
master of Masons of Tennessee, being elected
over all others with an electoral vote Of 189.

When Royalty WEEDS

When Z young man and . young

friends-and. if they happen to be

The engagement between young

Of Italy, though, Is something else
again. It is = marriage Of state, and
it may drag In its wake momentuous
consequences for a large part Of Eu-
rope.
Otto wants to regain the throne Of
Austria. Since royal houses do not
give the hands Of their daughters to
obvious losers, It may be taken for
granted that his ambition Is going to
get q good deal Of support from the
government Of italy. And since there
are other governments which are
firmly determined that no Hapsburg
shall ever return to Vienna, a head
ON collision Of rival interests seems
to be In prospect.
This engagement of Otto and Maria
may yet rank with the most impor-
tant European news items Of 1894.

FOR GENERATION TRY ONE
BALANCED MEAL A DAY

All Of the old reducing diets, from
Karell and Banting down to the latest
freak system purporting to emanate
from Hollywood, were based on what
we now know was = limited knowledge
Of nutrition. II in exceptional cases
one Of these unscientific methods
brought about the desired reduction
without gravely injuring health or
actually sending the victim to hospital
or sanatarium, it was because the
lucky individual had cheated or had
broken the diet often enough to In
dulge in some food that happened to
supply minerals or vitamins the body
demands.
But now that we have fairly COM
prehensive understanding Of the es-
sentials Of human nutrition. it appears
that these old-fashioned reducing
diets are neither safe nor necessary.
Indeed, when scientific knowledge is
applied in the prescription Of . re.
ducing regimen We find that the most
satisfactory results are achieved II the
patient has one well balanced meal
day. Perhaps not such rapid re-
duction as might be brought about by
= starvation regimen, but q steadier
reduction. q plan to which the pa
tient will stick long after the average
human being would break away from
= starvation diet.
II, as has been stated, an individual
can reduce twenty pounds in . year
BY emitting that one extra slice Of
bread and butter he ordinarily takes
daily. then it Is reasonable, and in
deed an everyday observation that one
can lose two or three pounds 4 week
by emitting one Of the lesser meals
he ordinarily takes daily-say going
without lunch.
But aside from ones natural sense
OF well being and comfort, there are
other good reasons why it Is not ad-
visable to try to carry on an ordi-
narily active life for many hours in
the day without food. We cannot 60
into the physiological objections here
but suffice to mention one-the &C.
currence Of hypoglycemia. or exhaus-
ton Of the blood sugar. When the
glyoogen or sugar In the blood Is used
up and no replenishment Of the sup
ply Is made, the results are often IN
pleasant and sometimes grave.
So It Is wise plan in any case t.
take some food 1t least three times In
the day. One good practice. where q
reduction regimen Is desirable, Is t.
substitute for lunch or for breakfast
an orange or some orange Juice, or 8

I'm to the Farmers

Chester c. Davis, administrator for
the AAA, says that future crop con-
troll schemes will depend on the
wishes Of the farmers themselves.
Corn belt farmers Win be asked to
take part In . referendum, to say
what they want to do about their 1885
corn crop. Similar referenda win be
taken among other farmers regard
ing other phases Of the AAA pro-
gram; and II the farmers wish to
give up the whole crop control plan,
they will be able to say 80, and the
government will listen to them.
It Is doubtful II any man is wise
enough to predict, at present, just
how the farmers will vote: and that
Is precisely what makes the taking
Of these referenda = wise move. In
the long run, no agricultural plan
can succeed II 1t does not have the
support Of . majority Of the farmers,
TO find out exactly how the farmers
feel about the present program is a
very sensible move.

Strikers Law
New York TimeS)

For years there has been q great
flow OF passionate oratory In Congress
and out Of it about the arrogance and
lawlessness Of capital. The country Is
now privileged to witness the modera-
ton, the attachment to law and re-
spect for the right Of others, mani
tested by the leaders OF great labor
organization. Mr.. German, chairman
Of the special strike committee Of the
United Textile Workers Of America,
will not consent to arbitration, should
that be recommended by Mr.. Rooee-
velt's mediation board. until after we
have closed al the mills" His respect
for law Is demonstrated by the flying
sQuadrons engaged In shutting up
mills and bulldosing operatives who
want to work.
Mr.. German Is deeply concerned"
about violence when It is resorted to
by the State or the National Guard.
To execute the law and try to prevent
or control disorder Is violence. To
break the law is among the rights Of
labor. Lest the public should be de-
ceived by appearances and its think
Ing confused, Mr. German has been
good enough to make this magnani-
nous offer:
II the President will bring about
agreement among the Governors
that our members shall be depu-
tized to enforce law. there will be
law enforcement. There will not
b another single episode of vio-
lence. because we will see to 1t
that those officials who have been
guilty oe Killings are kept in
bounds and under control.
The lawful officers Of the law are to
b superseded by representatives Of
breakers Of the law. These are to en-
force against them the higher law, the
law that transcends the statute books,
law" made BY strikers for strikers.
How pleasant 1t would be for mere
burglars and murderers II they could
possess such right" or preroga-
tive. In the way Of megalomaniac
folly It would be hard to 60 further
than Mr.. German goes. His proposal
would be comic II It were not made
tragic By the spectacle Of voluntary
and forced unemployment. accompa-
MED With riot aud local civil wars.
These are the contributions OF Mr..
German and his associates to national
recovery.
4 What do temperate labor leaders
and organised labor in general think
u these prepoSterous theories? Never
yet have invitations to disorder failed
to injure labor.
