District Attorney Heney of San Francisco, a short time after his | wounding, discussed with a reporter at ! his bedside one of his statements j about the San Francisco boodlers. “They expect ms to retract that ; statement, do thty?" he said, grimly. "Weil, if I did retract it. my retraction would be like the Tombstone editor's. “He, you knew, printed a story to the effect that a rival editor's father had served i!7 years in jail. Pressure was brought to hear on him. and finally he agreed to retract that statement. In iiis retraction he said: “‘We find that we were mistaken when .we said in last week’s issue that the Clarion editor's papa had passed o7 summers in the penitentiary. All ef forts cf friends to have his sentence commuted to life imprisonment failed, and the old man, as a matter of fact, was hung.' ” AND THEY’VE GOT IT! “How do you like the new styles in neckwear, dear?” “A little ruff around the neck, love.” Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired s- iffness, it is usually neces sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the nppearance, but also affects the wear ing quality cf the goods. This trou ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Stanch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great er strength than other makes. Comparisons Necessary. "We find repeatedly how imperfectly figures convey to the ordinary mind the magnitude of objects,” says the Welt Spiegel, “and how much more readily they are comprehended by comparison.” To substantiate the as sertion a picture is produced of the cathedral at Cologne, which is 1G9 meters in height, and next to It Is placed a picture of the Zeppelin air ship. standing on end, reaching away beyond the middle of the highest sec tion of the steeple, and to within 26 meters of the apex. The picture also shows the Triumphal column at Ber lin, 61 meters in height, and next to it the airship Parsifal, 50 meters high, as it stands on ecd. Would Bar the Judiciary. Young ministers sometimes say tome very Irreverent things when first they get in harness, but seldom are so broadly condemnatory as the young clergyman who was called upon to act as chaplain at the opening of a recent term of court down in Maine. After covering everything he could think of as appropriate to say from re ligion to law, he closed his prayer with the supplication: “And, finally, may we all be gathered in the happy land where there are no courts, no lawyers and no judges.” Then they changed chaplains. The Sneeze Th3t Failed. A little maid of three has beeD taught to say “Excuse me” when she sneezes. The other day her mother had her attention attracted by a queer gasping noise, and, looking up quickly, saw the face of the little maid wrinkled up in a very distressing way. “You didn't say it,” said the mother “I didn’t do it,” responded the little maid.

Bowies.j ECONOMICS OF EATING Desire is the stimulus that nature ,ises to lead to obe’dience to her com mands. And so long as the desire is gratified naturally there i3 harmony, health and growth. But when the de are becomes depraved and its satis faction abnormal, there is inharmony, unhappiness, disease and death. “Hat what yeti like," is. therefore, as we have already concluded, the best rule, in spite of pure-food law, food reform er and prohibitionist—so long, that is, as you like what is good for" you. Certainly the average man eats what he likes, without considering whether it is good for him or whether ho is getting the most for his mon:y. Now is this wise? Would it not be very much better to have a system of eating—for at present we have none, especially in America, where we eat anything, any time, any way, almost. I was trying to show the members of a woman's club awhile ago that the Chinese system, living on rice (entire rice) almost exclusively, is better than curs, because it furnishes better nourishment, avoids sickness and saves dish-washing. To which one woman replied when the time came for questions and criticism: "I sup pose they live in that poverty-stricken way in that poverty-stricken country because they have to. For my part, I'm glad I don’t have to live on rice all the time. And if it is true that a man is what his food makes him, I think China is a good warning to the rest of the world.” I have not advised living on rice, not even on unbolted rice which dif fers from the rice we use. as whole wheat differs from fine white flour. Rice is a one-sided diet. The system of the Japanese, who eat also fresh fish and beans, is much better, be cause it supplies, besides heat and en ergy, an adequate proportion of flesh and nerve food. But the point is, the Chinese, like the Japanese, and most other nations, have a system, and any system is better than none, especially in eating. The Chinese is the opposite of our extreme, but I hesitate not to say that the average Chinaman is better fed than the av erage American, so far at least as the laborer, who needs the least brain food, is concerned. But why, l am asked, if tlie Chinese monodiet, is so good, has China been ior centuries a by-word for unprogressi veness?” The resources of the Chinese are not yet understood by the rest of the world. Food, moreover, is but the material factor in life; the mind is the fundamental factor, as I have en deavored constantly to show. The Chinese have had, from time immem orial, a mind-dwarfing system of edu cation that has effectually retarded their progress, but all that is being changed, which with the gradual abolition of the death-dealing opium habit will bring in a new China, an other light of Asia. In the course of an investigation into the relation between food and health, a few years ago, I discovered two interesting general facts, from the statistics of the state boards of health; Death from cancer, which, according to the late Dr. Nicholas Senn and other good authority, is a disease caused by indulgence in eating (especially, I think, in meat), in creases rapidly among Germans and Irish immigrants and their descend ants, the two races who most quickly adopt our habits of eating, while there is little increase among Italian, Greeks, Bohemians and others who continue, in the second generation, to live largely on their native simple diet. The average foreigner naturally thinks that the chief benefit of high er wages is not better schooling but greater variety of food, including meat every day, a thing possible only for the rich in his own country. Sureiy good is not always unmixed with evil! Herbert. Spencer says that the most valuable knowledge is that needed for self-preservation, which surely Includes knowledge of food, its first essential. We have already con sidered the constituents of various foods and the uses of each. Let us now consider some of the leading ar ticles of food not already dealt with and their comparative values. Apples contain but a small amount of solid matter, chiefly sugar, but their minerals, being perfectly assimil able, and their malic acid being bene ficial in most cases, they are to be regarded as a most valuable food. In a few peculiar conditions of the liver and in excessive acidity they may be injurious, but they are especially beneficial in torpidity of the liver and excessive alltaiine conditions (the op posite of acid). The peach differs lit tle from the apple, but it spoils easily while the apple keeps good for months. Then' Is more or less danger In spoiled or unripe fruit, and a bad speck indicates that the entire fruit is spoiling. Boiling of course coun teracts fermentation, but if perfectly sound an apple is best uncooked. Ap ples are best eaten in the morning, with other fruits, not with cereals, vegetables or meat. Beans contain 25 per cent, proteid for flesh building and 50 per cent, starch for muscular energy and heat. They are richer than any other food in minerals, except a few of t-he nuts, though the excessive roasting to which they are usually submitted to make them palatable and to make their starch digestible, largely precipi tates the mineral elements and co agulates the albumen in them. It would hardly be possible to find a better diet for hard physical or men tal work than beans. Few other foods, except brown bread, are com patible with them, and especially not fruit, milk or eggs. The addition of fat is an advantage, but olive or pea nut oil would be better than pork. Peas, beans and lentils, contain every element of food necessary for vigorous physical and mental life. It is no mere coincidence that they are used, commonly, as a staple in the logging camp and have come to be as sociated with the name of the Athens of America. The bean is especially rich in potash and phosphorus, two leading brain foods, besides having a larger percentage of iron than milk. I have had an opportunity to watch the physical and mental effects of an exclusive GO-davs' diet of beans, which clearly proved them a most complete and substantial diet for physical or mental worker, even though they are not included In the ideal dietary. Beau starch is much more easily digestible than wheat starch and is far less likely to cause such bowel troubles as appendicitis. An exclusive diet of beans, long continued is, how ever, liable to cause rheumatism and kidney troubles, owing to the excess of albumen they contain. Peas and lentils differ little from beans, the former being the richest of this class of foods. A few slices of toast or acid fruits only in the morning and uncooked cabbage. lettuce, cucum bers, etc., alternating with prunes, dates or figs, for the evening meal, would be an ideal dietary for a labor er eating beans with coarse bread for the principal meal, at noon. Bananas are the most nourishing of fruits, except raisins and currants. Properly ripened they are easily di gested. But as we ordinarily find them in our northern market they arc difficult of digestion and likely to cause constipation. Banana flour is superior to superfine wheat flour and could be produced more cheaply, if transportation facilities were ade quate. The ripened banana, with the peanut, form a perfect ration, on which the population of the world could be fed by the product of Texas and the other gulf states and the tropics. Only a suitable method of preserving the banana and an inex pensive method of transportation be ing necessary, to solve the food prob lem. Bacon is almost pure fat and is, therefore, a good source of heat, muscular energy and fat, but it is in ferior to olive or peanut oil, which are purer and more easily assimilated. It should be eaten only in winter, in cold climates, if at all. Pork products, in general, are the most objectionable of the flesh foods. The flesh of wild animals, the goat, sheep and fresh water fish, fresh are the best of ani mal foods. Fish spoils quickly and may become more poisonous than meat. Vegetable-cooking oils are pre ferable to lard. Oysters (the edible portjon, I mean, for it is as necessary to clean oysters as chicken or fish), are comparatively nutritious raw, but fried they are in digestible. They contain nothing that cannot be obtained from vegetable foods, eggs or fish. Often they are dangerous, causing .serious bowel trouble and even typhoid and typhus fever. Eggs, eaten in their natural state or only slightly cooked in water, not fried in fat, are very nutritious and easily digested. They are. however, stimulating and undesirable unless eaten sparingly. A whipped egg with zwieback is a suitable meal for an in valid: but the curative use of foods will be dealt with in subsequent arti cles. Figs, dates and prunes are the most substantial of the fruits, next to the banana. Either of these, or all, makes a suitable evening meal. The chief objection to them is, they are very liable to be spoiled, by fermentation and worms. Prunes can be obtained in cans free from contamination or the objectionable chemicals used in the dried fruit, and as they are chiefly sugar the injury done by cooking ts immaterial, as compared with the dan gerin fermentation in the spoiled fruits Cocoa is less objectionable than tea or coffee, being only slightly stimulat ing. It contains considerable fat, more than chocolate. Cereal coffee is harmless. Grapes are, next to the apple, for all general purposes, the best fruit. There should be a grape arbor in every garden. Unfermented grape juice is a delicious and highly-nutri tious drink, of which we shall have more to say in treating of the cura tive values of foods. Pine apple is a true fruit medicine, very valuable in some digestive disor ders. Potatoes are chiefly water and starch, but are rich in the mineral elements of food. They are best baked slowly, at a low temperature; they should not be fried in fat or boiled slowly. If they must be boiled, they should be dropped in boiling wa ter and when cooked allowed to dry on a hot fire after having the water drained off. Cheese, if fresh, is a rich proteid food, and an aid to digestion, but old cheese is dangerous and it should not be tasted. Cheese, like milk, is ex tremely incompatible with the small fruits, blackberries, strawberries, rasp berries, etc., which need not be eaten at all, except alone, in the morning, fresh, in summer. It is also incompatible with nuts. Full cream cheese, fresh, would make a ■ better combination with beans than pork. With bread It Is especially compatible. Brain work requires more fresh, easily assimilated protelds than man ual labor, but in either case the less craft made upon the stomach for di gestion the more vitality will be left for work, of whatever kind. This is the physiological side of the economy of eating, not forgetting the relative digestibility of foods and the great difficulty of excreting the waste of albuminous foods as compared with sugars, starches and fats. Weston's recent great walking feat, known to every newspaper reader, is a good example of the requirements of physical endurance. Mr. Weston’s diet was far from ideal, but the one great lesson, constantly taught was, that if a man is to do his best work he must eat only enough to furnish heat, energy and bodily waste. If he is to win in a contest, he must eat protelds sparingly and lose in weight. Digestion and elimination are work, of the severest kind, and the more he saves in that department, the more he will have to spend in muscular and mental work. A few months ago I published in one of the medical journals the re sult of some experiments made in "A Tramp’s Diet,” showing that the best walking was done when only enough food was taken to prevent actual hunger and that a gradual elimination of meat was found to steadily increase the mileage walked. This corresponds exactly with the results of the endur ance tests made by Profs. Chittenden and Fisher of Yale and with all the results in the great walking contests in Germany, England and America. No fallacy in regard to diet is more erroneous or more unfortunate than the common argument that the work ing man needs meat. The contrary is true. Dr. Wiley of our federal bu reau cf chemistry, an acknowledged authority on f6od, says: “A Japan ese coolie will carry you around town all day on a pound of rice; you can not do that on a pound of meat.” Mr. William Jennings Bryan says that the Japanese 'riskishaw man will wheel a man 75 miles in a day; and his food is rice (unmilled, of course, cor responding to our whole wheat), and possibly beans and fish. The Bedouin Arab, who will run all dav by the side of a magnificent Arab horse, lives on dates and figs, never eating meat. I have nothing to say of the ethical objections to meat-eating. I merely wish in dealing with the economic side of food, to impress, especially upon the working man. that the first step to economy in eating is to omit meat and fine white bread from the diet. The man who eats rye or whole wheat and a few nuts, needs no meat, no eggs, nor milk, though he will do well to drink a glass of buttermilk daily. Sugar is the cheapest food for one doing heavy physical work, because i* furnishes energy directly with little waste. Its best source is prunes, figs or dates. A spoonful or two of olive or pea nut oil should be taken daily. Butter is an expensive food compared with vegetable oils What the physical worker needs most is, just like the engine, ready, fuel and water. Its cheapest source is sugar and fat, rather than wheat, starch and meat, though rye is easily converted into glucose or cereal sugar. A tablespoonful or more of peanut oil may be taken with prunes, or separately. Fat interferes with the digestion of proteids in the stomach but not with sugar. A warm drink of weak cocoa or substitute coffee may follow a fruit meal, facilitating the passage to the intestine where such food is digested. The more liquid the sooner the stomach empties. The most economical of foods is sugar, and yet much harm is done by cane sugar, as it is eaten in candies, especially by young women who have little exercise, and in tea and coffee by men and women of sedentary oc cupation. The evil effects of cane sugar, including ordinary candies as compared with the natural sugar foods, dates, figs, prunes, currants and raisins (and perfectly ripe banan as), ipight be compared to the dif ference between fine white and coarse bread. Experiments made with men on a march showed that a quarter to three quarters of a pound daily of cane sugar was utilized readily and caused no distress, but it is a well-known fact that such an amount of sugar eaten in the way it is ordinarily taken by one not making the fullest use of lungs and muscles, requiring the con sumption of a large amount of avail able carbon—that sugar not quickly burned in the system for heat and energy causes catarrh of the stomach and bowels, unfitting them for natural digestion and at the same time over loading the liver and straining the kidneys. Similar results follow the excessive use of starch foods, espe cially in concentrated form. As we have already seen, the es sential food is albumen, a definite amount of which is necessary, under all circumstances, to support life, as well as to build new tissue in the growing child. But carbon, as sugar, starch or fat. can be much more quick ly utilized for maintaining heat and energy. If a sufficient amount of car bon in these forms is not furnished, heat and energy will be sustained by the consumption of albumen, and as the waste products from the consump tion of albumen, require many times more energy for elimination from the system through the kidneys, the con sumption of more albumen than is necessary, is a serious error in vital economy. Rheumatism, Bright's dis ease, and other diseases result from the inability of the system to eliminate the excessive waste of albuminous foods. STREET CARS IN SHANGHAI. Drivere Have to Be Watchful Indeed in Chinese City. js'o other city in the world presents such a conglomerate street traffic on a large scale as Shanghai, says Vice Consui-General Frederick D. Cloud, in a report on the completion of the Shanghai electric street railway sys tem. The mnin thoroughfare is choked with heavy handcarts, loaded with a ton or more of merchandise, each drawn by ten or twelve coolies; wheelbarrows, heavily laden with freight or passengers, sometimes a dozen persons riding on a single wheelbarrow, these vehicles dodging hither and thither in an effort to avoid collision with faster vehicles; num berless rickshas running pell-mell, bicycles and motorcycles with bells ringing and motor cars, and public and private carriages trying to pass everything on the streets. When to this surging mass is added a double-track street railway running down the middle of the street that in some places is less than 20 feet wide, the difficulties are obvious. The advent of the cars caused con siderable native hostility, but the pub lic is growing more accustomed, and native employes of the line more ex perienced. The notices on the car* are in English, French and Chinese. AS TO THE PROPER CARE OF THE FLOCK Lambing Time, Winter Shelter and(the Dog Nuisance Must Be Considered—By Walter J. Quick, M. S., Ph. D., Animal Husbandry, Virginia. According to the reports collected, (he most favorable time for lambs to drop, if intended for the June market, is between February 15 and March 1. In order to have lambs drop February 15, the ram should be turned with the ewes about September 15. Lambs dropped before this date suffer the hardships of the winter, and unless the ewes are very liberally fed, do not get sufficient milk to make them grow rapidly. These lambs become inure or less stunted and have not a plump and attractive appearance when marketed. There is also a greater possibility for loss with these lambs, and a much longer season for heavy feeding with the ewes, making an additional ex pense without a corresponding in crease in weight; while lambs dropped after February 15 are less liable to loss from the most severe winter weather. This tremendous loss would have been almost entirely prevented had pre caution been taken at the proper time, as the lambs were apparently strong when born, but afterward perished from starvation. It is an exceptional case when a ewe has not sufficient milk to at least keep her lamb alive, if she has been proper ly fed a month previous to lambing. The feed need not be expensive—it is Frequently a. lamb can be saved if an attendant is present at the proper time. The young ewes especially often require assistance in lambing. If a ewe does not drop her lamb within a reasonable length of time after labor pains are noticeable, there is a cause for the delay. Frequently a lamb is coming with its head bent back over its shoulder, or perhaps twins are com ing together, or some other unnatural position. A little manipulation of the foetus will frequently straighten out the difficulty, thereby saving the life of the lamb, and not infrequently that of the ewe. Some ey< s refuse to own their lambs, and otliei ewes refuse to let the lambs unite. Borne ewes will ac cept strange lauibs. When a ewe loses her lamb It is advisable to keep up her milk ilow by milking, as she will frequently accept a strange lamb if it is given to her soon after lambing. Frequently a ter. of triplets or twins are dropped by a ov/e and she has not sufllcient milk to nourish all. If the ewe that has lost her own lamb ie placed in a close pen and away from other sheep she will readily adopt one of the twins or triplets, thereby rais ing a good lamb instead of running idle and becoming too fat for breeding the following season. An orphan lamb Stagnant Pool—A Ereeding Place for Parasites, Especially the Stomach Worm—Supply Running Water. not necessarily succulent, although that is of great advantage—but it should be rich in protein, palatable, di gestible, and given in liberal amounts at regular intervals, twice a day. Clo ver, cowpea or soy bean hay, corn silage, turnips, sugar beets and some well-cured—not moldy—corn fodder may constitute the greater portion of the bulky ration, together with a grain ration of oats, corn, bran and a small per cent, of linseed oil meal or cotton seed meal. These grains are bitter mixed together; but in case it is de sired to feed any one alone, oats are may often be given a ewe that has just lost a iamb, if the dead lamb is rubbed over the strange lamb while wet. or the skin of the dead lamb tied on the orphan, since the ewe's affec tions are directed by the odor of her lamb. In many sections the dog nuisance is a great, detriment to the sheep in dustry. The direct loss from severe chasing and worrying is often not so great as the loss that follows. Breed ing ewes that have besn badly worried and frightened rarely, if ever, entirely recover. The result is usually weak Dog-Procf Fence—Cost 65 Cents Per Yard. most suitable. Corn alone is not very | satisfactory, as it lias a tendency to produce weakened lambs and a small milk flow. It is very important to have sufficient feeding room, as the danger from crowding and pushing when ewes are heavy in lamb is very great and likely to cause some cases of abortion. Ail rains should be separated from the breeding ewes as soon as the breeding season is over, as ubortions frequently occur from bunting by the ram at feeding time. Except in the extreme northern sec tions all that is necessary is sufficient shed room to accommodate the entire flock without crowding, and sheltering them from storms, wdnds and draughts. Too many have the idea that the wool of the sheep provides all the protection needed. In reality sheep are about the most tender of the vari ous kinds Of stock, and were it not for the liberal protection provided by na ture more protection would be neces sary than for any other stock. Sheep | never thrive if confined to either draughty or close, badly ventilated buildings. A shed with good protec tion on the north, east and west, and an open southern exposure is mo3t tie- | tillable, with an allowance of about 12 square feet of floor space per sheep. There should be a warmer arrange ment for ewes when they drop in bad weather and each ewe should be sep arated from the flock when she lambs. The location should be high and dry. The building should be liberally sup plied with bedding to prevent damp ness and insure cleanliness. A yard should be attached, having a dog-proof fence. I!oth shed and yard should be supplied with feeding troughs, allow . ing ample trough room for each 1 sheep. and inferior lambs at the nexl lambing season, with some abortions and many abnormal presentations of the foetus. In fact, many breeders of registered sheep consider their breeding flock al most ruined after having been severe ly chased by dogs. Frequently a large number of ewes will not breed for some time after being chased and badly frightened. The efficiency of any dog law' de pends largely on its enforcement; but too frequently it is never enforced, many worthless dogs being allowed to run at large that would be controlled or destroyed if a rigid dog law was en forced. One of our illustrations shows a dog proof fence on the Virginia experi ment station grounds, constructed as follows: The woven-wire fence con sists of 17 horizontal wires—the three lower wires 1% inches apart, the width between wires gradually in creasing to five inches at top. Tlfe vertical stays are six inches apart. The wire is fastened to posts set -5 feet apart, the bottom wire being three inches from the ground. One-barbed wire is set midway between the bot tom horizontal wire and the ground. One-barbed wire is fastened to the posts, three inches higher than the top wire. Two-barbed wires are at tached eight inches apart, to pieces of 2x6 scantling nailed to the posts above the wire with 20-penny nails. These pieces are set outward and upward with the posts. Cost of Materials. Red cedar posts .12% cents each. Woven wire fence .37% cents per rod. Four-barbed wire .15 cents per rod. Total .65 cents per rod. The 2x4 scantling costs about $1S per thousand and adds about one cent per rod to cost of the fence. HiS GOOD MONEY THROWN AWAY.
