The moat stupendous tnsk of naval his tory was completed when President Koosovelt rovlowed the licet of 1C battleships as thoy filed Into Hampton Honds to drop anchor at tho port from which thoy sailed ono year and two months before.

And with the rattle of chains and tho splash of anchors, as tho great ships whooled into their berths, tho journey of 42,227 miles not in cluding the sldo trips In tho Mediter ranean and other waters from zono to zone, over tho world's oceana and through foreign seaB, was at an end. Marks Epoch In History. Tho event marks an epoch In tho naval and diplomatic history of tho United States. As a more physical achievement It Ik a thing of enormous proportions. As a test of naval effi ciency It has shown tho sailing value of tho fleet and demonstrated to many peoples tho power of tho United States and its equipment for war. It has been a sort of gymnastic exercise with tho big stick. It has given tho navy department tho results of an experience that will bo Invaluable In the upbuilding of future lleetB and brought out defects that must bo over- como. as a diplomatic messenger it has dissipated International misunder standings nnd brought closer In friend ly relations tho United Stntcs and many of tho world's countries. The successful completion of tho crulso without noteworthy accident or untoward Incident, from either a naval or political point of view, is regarded by all nations as history making from several points of view. Never before bus any battlo command mado such a long, continuous voyage. Never be fore has any battlo command circum navigated tho globe, whether In ono or separate voyagos. Never heforo has any fleet or armndn of any of the countries of tho world visited so many ports, so many countries, under so many flags. And nover was any naval command received with such wldo and universal acclaim and enthusiasm of friendly feeling and spirit of welcome as marked tho progress of tho Ameri can battlo lleot nt every one of Us twoscoro or moro stops on tho crulso around the world. Few Desertions Reported. A romarkablo feature of tho crulso has been tho oxcollont discipline. Whllo thoro liavo been a few deser tions, tho number has been far loss in proportion than It usually is in homo ports. The extent of tho drink- Ing on tho part of tho men and offi cers at receptions and while on liber ty In strange nnd peculiarly Interest ing places has been far less than was expected. From thepolnt ofvlew of tho trained mariner, bringing a ship around tho world is no extraordinary task. Uut bringing 1G battleships, with 15.000 men, around the world Is a most gi gantic naval undertaking. Unlike tho merchant ships, they nro things of masslvo and Intricate mechanism. They moved In battle formation, ma neuvering at sea, to slmulato, us far as possible, war conditions. At two stops in tholr Journey, Magdalena bay and tho Philippines, tho great batteries wero brought into piny for target prac tice, without preparation, to provo tho fitness of the ships for fighting at tho end of a long crulBO. Many Countries Visited. Tho fleet vlBlted 20 countries nnd anchored In 2G foreign ports. Tho 1G ships passed through tho Straits of Magellan, made tho Journey through tho Suez canal without mishap nnd coaled at Port Said in record tlmo to bo off to help tho Italian earthquake suitorcrs, all without mishap. Two passed through tho Dardanelles, tho first foreign warships to do so without grave conferences between tho vig ilant powers, to pick up the young Turkish officers who were to come to the United States. Two saluted tho new Bultnn of Morocco. Ono division dropped anchor at Amoy to do honor to China. Tho whole fleet flow their colors in tho ports of Japan. The Hags of nearly all tho world wero un furled in welcome to thorn. To drive tho ships 410,000 tons of coal were used. Practically all of this camo from America, in order that there bo no variations in quality which would interfere with tho elaborate steaming tests to determine tho maxi mum power to bo obtnlned from tho quantity of fuel consumed. In thiB re spect alono tho experience gained Is lnvnluabK Nearly 100,000 gallons of oil wero consumed in lubricating tho engines nnd machinery. All Nationn Impressed. It is as a naval test that tho cruise of the fleet takes rank as tho most interesting and greatest achievement of modern times. Naval experts of foreign nations waited with cynical patlenco for the fleet to arrive in Mag dalena bay, bnttcred and disablod aft er tho llrst log of tho rigorous journey. When tho ships went through target practice without any preparation thoy hastened to report to their govern ments. Later, when tho samo ships continued on their way around tho world and did tho samo thing at Mn- nila bay, the fighting efficiency of tho American navy waB unquestioned. Foreign nuval exports also waited confidently until tho ships should reach Californiu, to boo tho bluejnck ets desert in shoals as soon us they set foot on their own soil again. On tho contrary tho men kopt to their posts moro faithfully than oven tho department Itself anticipated. This Is tho ono problem of tho American navy that lias been a source of con stant difficulty. He-cnllstmcnts be come moro common than before and for tho men who left tho fleet aftor tho long crulso around South Ameri ca there woro moro men to take tho places when thoy wero ready to leave San Francisco. Hut there wero some things, somo very simple things, brought out by tho fleet's voyago which seem to havo escaped tho critics of tho navy. If naval operations aro to bo carried by the United States at long range, and that will probably bo tho case, so far as tho Pacific Is concerned, thoro must he colliers to fill tho bunkers of tho battleships, supply ships to fill tho store rooms, and ammunition ships to fill tho magazines. In their last re ports tho chief of tho bureau of ord nanco said that a navy without am munition was holploss, the chief of the bureau of supplies nnd accounts said that a navy without food for tho men was helpless. Tho colliorB arc being built now and It is only a matter of time before each of tho bureau chiefs will got what he wants. NEBRASKA NEWS AND NOTES.

DIET AN HEALT By DR. J. T. ALLEN Food Speclalitt Author of "Bating for a I'arpojc. ' j he Jcu Gospel of Health." Etc. (Copyright, by Joseph 11. Uowlcs.) "THE DIET CURE" While 1 believe diet to be the most Important factor In life, after thought, and therefore tho most important fac tor (after thought) In maintaining nnd restoring health, yet diet is not u cure-all. As there is no single means by which life is maintained, so there is no single means of maintaining health or of restoring it when It lias boon lost. 1 often hoar people say, "1 havo tried drugs, nnd osteopathy, Christian Scienco (or suggestion) and electric ity, the movement cure and tho water cure, and none of them has done me any good, and now I am going to seo what there Is in dieting." Such a speech Indicates a narrow view of tho work of the physician and a gravo misunderstanding of the na ture of health and healing. I havo a largo acquaintance among physicians and I don't know one who proscribes drugs and Ignores dieting, though I know some who do not agree with the old saw In Marcus Ward's copybook, "Diet cures more than doctors." 1 hnow physicians who practice sugges tion very skilfully, by intuition, but givo the credit for their mental cures to their medicine, oven when they pro scribe brend pills; and 1 am sorry to say I know some good physicians who have not yet recognized tho good In osteopathy and mechanotherapy in general; hut the average medical doc tor believes In using all means or cure, and especially diet, as supplemental to medicine. No sane, liberally educated physl lan who is successful In the practice of a specialty, finds It necessary to overestimate the relative Importance of his specialty. It is tho Imperfectly informed person who claims lor some ono method of treatment, valuable In ertaln cases, the impossible virtue of . cure-all. Tho only way In which almost any therapeutic agent can cure almost any sickness is by becoming a means of suggestion. But. let tho men tal condition bo perfect yet withhold tho right food and tho patient must ultimately die. And suggestion need not he made tho basis ot a cult to bo i means of faith cure. Dr. Yorko DavicB of London, ono of the few eminent physicians who have nado a specialty of dietetics, said after HO years' practice: "The devia tions fropi health aro moro correctly remedied by dietetic means than by medicines. Diet may bo a pcrnianent cure, drugs are but palliatives. . . . Diet In tho hands of an expert is moro Dowerful than drugs. Medicine is seldom a remedy for constitutional all ments, whereas a system of diet, air and other menus that lead to Bound health Is of permanent benefit. 1 speak from a very largo oxporlencu In both systems." ("Diet nnd Condition,' 1892.) Tho general practitioner knows that ho cannot givo his patients tho benefit of nn expert knowlcdgo of a dozen specialties. Ho realizes this hotter than tho specialist realizes tho danger of being too ready to treat every case that comes to him by his special euro Tho(surgcon who Is so devoted to his science anil nis an uuu no wouki lather operate than eat," as ono good man puts It, Is likely to bo skillful; but thoro aro patlentB who need to cat moro than they need to bo operated on; nnd 11 might bo woll to tako the advico of a faithful general practltlon or in conjunction with that of tho spe clalist beforo acceding to tho wish of tho Burgeon who glorifies his profos sion by crediting It with impossible powors. In no enso Is diet the only remedy to be considered; but itnllko surgery drugB, electricity, and other means of euro which are often of vital Impor tance, diet (which .Includes fasting) like suggestion, Is always "Indicated. And whatever danger there may bo in misapplied surgery or drugs, food can do no harm when taken moderately, except In a few cascB, as diabetes, where export knowledge is required. Osteopathy, suggestion, massage, wa ter cure, applied with ordinary judg ment, can do no hnrin,. except as they may excludo other necessary treat mcnt, as drug or surgical treatment may also fall to Include other boned clal trentment. Slnco the days ot the prophet who prescribed washing in Jordan, thoro havo been many cures, each moro mys terious, if possible, than tho other, but nature Iiub continued to uso tho samo moans of restoring health, In splto of tho cures or by their aid. A young man who has boon reading those articles writes mo about his In teresting cuse, which will servo to Il lustrate the difficulty and tho Impor tance of distinguishing health from disease. At tho ago of 20 ho quit tho farm, Into In tho siding, and wont to work as a street car conductor in a largo city. Ho was In excellent health, with a good appetite. A fow months later ho began to havo dull headacho mid an almost constant sour stomach, with bolchlng. Everybody knows that an alkali will neutralize an acid nnd a frlond nil vised him to take a llttlo com mon baking soda In hot wntor occasion ally. Perhaps sonn- physicians would have ' cured'' this case In the same way, The average person who goes to a physician does not go for his valua ble advice on the prevention of sick ness, or even for a radlcnl euro of his ailment. Whnt he wants Is a quick cure. In the easiest way possible; bonce the temptation to treat mp toiiis Is strong. The acid condition of the stomach whs, or course, neutralized by the al kali, but tho cause remained rather worse. There was no cure. Should the acid condition in the stomach bo corrected by nn alkali, a carbonate of soda, or does nature know what she Is about In producing the acid condi tion? Another gentleman who has been reading these nrtlcleB writes mo about his very Interesting nnd peculiar case, also resulting In an extreme acid con dition, ills work for yenrs has been with chemicals. Ills system has be come poisoned, as In common cases of poisoning by mercury, arsenic, etc. The acid condition and an extreme lia bility to cold nro Incidents of nuturo'n efforts to bring about conditions In which the system can expel these poi sons. The diet of meat, which this niiui has been living on exclusively for somo time, an alkaline food, contains much waste to bo excreted, thus ad ding to the burden of the system, and It works against, Instond of with, na ture. Ho asks for specific advice, along the lines of a recent article. 1 am not prejudiced In favor of homeopathy nor against any other school of medicine, for they nil have something Kood, nnd my own plan is o go back to nature, to first princi ples, no matter what the schools say, but alining to take advantage of nil known facts. My experiments In do- erinlnlng the curative values of foods lead to a conclusion slmllnr to that of he Illustrious founder of homeopathy, Slmllla Hlinlllbus curantur" (Like mres like). 1 do not think that ono disease can cure another, like or un like, lint wo should work to bring about the same result that nature Is trying to produce, oven when that seems to be Irritating or destructive. Nature Is producing tho acid condi tion In the case ot tho worker In hemlcnlH for the purpnso of bringing about a change that will Improve the conditions of nutrition. Instead of an tagonizing that effort by taking car bonate of soda or by taking only alka line food, let this man eat only acid fruits In tho morning, an apple, an or ange, nnd a little pineapple, and drink plenty of lemonade without sugar, a llttlo dry graham and corn broad at noon, never fresh, and at six all tho buttermilk he can drink, slowly. Ho should lake a spoonful of olive or pea nut oil, morning and evening. If lie doesn't, feel Inclined to drink butter milk, let. Ill in tako only a sip and In crease tho amount gradually. With plenty of that alone on hand, ho will not suffer. Every third day ho should tako nothing but hot lemonade, nnd bo careful not to overeat, the next day. He Is unable to work, so he can In dulge tho Inclination to recline, which ho mentions as a symptom in tho case a symptom which should not bo sup pressed by a tonic: It Is significant. Every morning, or evening, ho should have a vigorous rubbing for live or ton minutes with a dry and then a wot Turkish towel, and at night batho tho feet In hot water. He should apply an electric vibrator, generally, and to the extretnltles after tho morning bath, for a fow minutes. For tho gen eral treatment the vibrating chnlr is best, made by attaching an electric vi brator to a light rocking chair. But to return to tho street car con ductor's case, which has some polntB In common with this; he has been pol soned Willi superfluous food. This cannot be corrected by tnklng an al kali to neutralize tho acid and n tonic to increase his appetite. A tonic Is a whip. Exorclso and air and wator Is a whip. Exorcise and air and water and hope and sunshine aro nature's tonics. Tho nppotito they produce Is normal, not In excess of tho actual needs of tho system. Excess of food 1b always a Bourco of disease Hhcumatlsm would result from tho suppression of these symptoms, in tlmo, If tho caiiBo persisted. Uric acid would be deposited In tho joints, prob ably. Examination of tho urine In UiIb case would show an oxcosb of waste matter. Thnt mentis an undue strain upon tho kidneys, which, In tlmo, would lead to rheumatism, dlabotoa or Blight's disease, If the causo Is not removed. Examination of tho excreta would also show an excess of waste and of bacteria, especially If much meat Is eaten. (There should bo llttlo apparent odor from tho excreta if tho feeding Is right.) This young ninn should cat very slowly, masticating thoroughly. Lot him reduce his food, especially flosh meal, one-half, and oat twice ub long mid he will soon seo an Improvement. Let him he suro he Is gottlng In his diet everything tho system needs, and without undue work In digestion. He should walk five miles dally. Tho young man road an advertisement of a well-known tonic, which ho began using, hoping It would do as much for him as' tho soda had done. Whllo ho was taking the tonlo ho felt bettor and gained In weight, but whon ho stopped using It ho soon wna worso than be foreof course. What shall ho do? First, let li I m understand the causo of ills troublo fas far as that Is possi ble), then apply tho remedies and look for a return of health with tho samo confidence that ho oxpoctB his car to move whon tho brake Is raised and tho current turned on. An electric car runs with no greater regularity than tho human machine when properly cared for, but tho body Is a very dollcato organism nnd it must not bo nbused. Tho relation between the mind and the body Is Just as lntlmato, Just an Important, us tho relation between the current and tho car. You havo scon a car off tho track. No uso to turn on tho current then. To expect tho mind to set right all abnormal conditions In tho body without complying with the Inws of Its physical organisation, Is manifestly ubsurd. A farmer needs at lenst twice as much niuscular-onergy-glvlng food ns a street car conductor, varying with tho physical work or exercise of ench, but this young man continued to oat about tho sumo amount und kinds ot food that he had eaten In the country. Now the system manufactures gastric Julco to digest as much food ns tho system requlros, not always enough for tho food eaten. Perhnps wo enn nil re member ti tlmo when wo wero qulto familiar with sour stomach. Whon wo wero youngor nnd more vigorous, na turo responded moro promptly, defend Ing herself nnd warning us of abnor mal conditions, so that wo Should ro move tho cause. How much moro quickly a child or a dog will vomit If it eats the wrong food or too much of the right food than an adult. Is tho sour stomach In tho child or tho readi ness to vomit an Indication of health or of disease? Does not n farmer change a horse's food ns his work chnnges? I have quoted theso two cases sub mitted by Interested readers ot thoso articles to exemplify an Important fun ilaniontul principle that It Is often difficult to distinguish between health nnd disease. So Important Is thiB principle, and so fatal aro tho effects of Ignornnco or It, that I wish to make It still clearer, by examples. A few weeks ago I met on tho streot a minister with whose work In a small town, near Chicago, 1 was Inti mately acquainted last year. Ho had a now charge now, a larger, moro pros perous and moro harmonious congre gation. "You aro looking much better than when 1 saw you last," 1 said (which happened to bo true It never helps a man to tell him ho looks sick, even If It Is true). "Well," ho said, "I mil fooling hot tor In every way, excopt thnt I have one troublo that Is really becoming serious; for dayB I havo had constant diarrhoea, and nothing seems to stop it." "That's well," I said, for 1 was fa miliar with his ciiro preceding his change of surroundings, and 1 took a hasty Inventory of his condition. Ho had been much depressed tho preced ing year (mental depression often In duces constipation) and his nutritive powers, mental nnd physical, woro ac cordingly reduced, nnd ho had lost In ilesh and accumulated wosto In tho tis sues). Now thoro waB a revival; all the tissues woro expanding and wimto was being eliminated tlnough tho bowels; but moro thnn that, tho sys tem wns adjusting Itself, rapidly, to more wholesome ' mental conditions, and there was, as tho engineer says, somo exhaust steam. Should ho take a standnrd remedy to stop tho dlnr hoen? A woman who had Buffered for yoam from dyspepsia, accompanied by con stipation, went to a largo snnltnrlum where iiho had every opportunity for mire. For a whllo sho Improved, thon sho began to grow Btcadlly worso. Sho quit tho place, dlsBatlsllod, and wont to a private sanitarium In Chicago. Tho physician thoro understood that painful healing efforts of uaturo aro often mistaken for signs of disease. Sho grow "worso," bocamo vory Blck, and got woll. What would havo boon tho effect of "curing" that sickneBB? A gentleman past middle life was advised to mako somo matorlal changes In bis diet, which ho did with decided benefit for sovoral months. Then ho "began to go steadily down hill," ns ho thought. Ho consulted nn other physician, who saw In his simple diet tho causo of his entire troublo, gavo him a tonic and advised him to return to his old "liberal" diet, includ ing meat, and now ho feels hotter; a result duo, chiefly, to improved mental conditions induced by his friends, who rejoice with him In tho return of his sanity! The best diet in tho world, with continual worry, will kill any body, nnd tho prison rccordB of Polnnd show thnt a man can llvo for 60 years on brend nnd water. "How, thon, shall I know whether I am sick or well?" asks tho bowlldor'od render. You nro always woll, If you really think so. Thoro 1b moro truth In this statement thnn I have spaco to ex plain horo, for I am dealing now with diet, not with suggestion. But lot mo briefly state tho bcBt courso to follow undor all circumstances: Follow nature. If naturo Is work ing In u certain direction to bring about normal conditions of health, co operate with her, especially In thought. Bo caroful that you do not misinterpret her efforts and nntagonlzo her. Don't bo In too great hasto to stop pain by tho quickest means, for you may stop tho healing process. Better do nothing thnn do wrong. It 1b tho business of tho educated physician, ono not merely skilled In dosngo or in tho uso of tho knife, to study your caso and ndvlso wisely, cnutlously nnd honorably, und you should givo him time to do It nnd pay him cheerfully and liberally, but ob servo that tho thing of real value Is his wlso counsol, which comes only of long study and experience. To follow our Inclinations would bo tho wisest courso In all cases It wo had ulwuyB lived naturally, but ovon If wo have, our ancestors did not. Tho most valuable knowledge tho scientific physician possosses Is his elaborate knowledge of tho normal conditions of all tho physical functions und tho means by which thoso conditions are maintained or rostorod. Whatovor tho condition, hope Is a prime factor In the euro; tho will and faith aro to bo exercised. If theso right mental conditions aro supplied, with tho right food and tho proper caro of tho body, all lu woll,
