A YANKEE
CRITICISM

fried ham are too greasy for Northern di-
pestions, and citing cases of Yankees made
i'll by eating these delectable, tho heavy,
dishes
We suspect that the trouble with the
damnvankces who come South and get SICK
on our fried chicken and country ham, IS
that they gorge themselves and overtax their
digestion once they get taste OF these IA
nous dishes Never having eaten anything
so delicious before, they eat too much.
Not even a SOutherner, fetched up on fried
chicken. country ham, red gravy and clab-
Der biscuit could eat his fill of these delicious
vittles two or three meals in succession with
out getting sick.
A Southern country ham steak with red
gravy and eggs fried in the ham grease is
dish for he-men who rise early, do chores,
push lawn mower or ride horse before
breakfast. Your Yankee whose morning eX-
ercscs are limited to the bathroom, should
never breakfast on fried ham.
And, speaking of ham, all of us could very
well take lessons from the Virginians to the
north of us. I'm all traditional Virginia homes
one finds well aged Virginia peanut favored
and hickory smoked ham on the table at
most meals; but it is sliced wafcr-thn and
served mostly as a relish, or a garnish for
other dishes, never as the main dish.

Codifiers
Five young government lawyers
shortly will begin the monumen-
tai task of codifying all admin
istrative orders issued by federal
agencies. The research will go
back to the days of George Wash
ington.
Congress ordered the job done
last June, in an amendment to
the Archives Act, for the purpose
Of assembling the administrative
orrerS in a single, readily acces-
sible collection. This is the first
time this has been attempted in
the history of the country.
The work is scheduled for
completion by July /, 1888. Ex-
pertS estimate that the collection
will fill ten large volumns. The
compilers will be known as the
Board of Codifiers and will be un-
der the direction of Major B. r.
Kennedy, head of the Federal
Register, the daily publication
that prints all new administrative
orders.
Personnel Of the Board will be
chosen jointly by Attorney Cen
eral Homer Cummings and Ar
chivist R. D. w. Connor from the
legal staffs of various government
departments.

Surface and air craft of the U. S. Navy
covered 100000 square miles of the Pacific

We are not inclined TO join the chorus of

What is the normal maintenance cost of

would they have been engaged in any better
activity if they had not undertaken that

We should like to have the answer to that

about the cost of great humanitarian en-
terprise that reflects credit upon people
who place sentiment above utilitarianism.
We spend millions daily in times of peace
for an army and navy to be in readiness i'll

would cost millions if it never engaged i'll

wonder when our turn will come! Why

still time to correct it.
A bad heart diseased kidneys, pulmonary
disorders, dabetic condition and most
other disorders to which we succamb when
we neglect them, can be discovered in their
incipiency in plenty of time for them to be
corrected if we abandon the harmful habits
of living that caused them.
But most men neglect themselves and
avoid seeing a doctor until too late, thru
senseless fear of knowing the truth about
their physical condition.
See YOUR doctor and your dentist once or
