EXPERT OPINION ON A COMMON HABIT New and Old Plane Considered, with a Hint on the Risk of Rad ical Chances Fruit in High Favor. (Copyright, 1902, by Eustace Mile,.) How extremely hard It is for many, how extremely unpleasant, aometlmee almost heroic, to refuse meat or fowl or fish at an ordinary meal. A person may feel that hi, heaviness after a meal, and Indeed bis general unfitness at moat time,, I, due to mistake, in diet, but he ha, not the strength of mind, or it may aeem like the heartlasrnqa, toward hla family, to decide on giving up that which may be disagreeing with him. And, even If he doe, give It up. he I, very likely to go wrong by omitting that which would take the place of the nourishing flesh foods. la there any way out of tho difficulty? There are apparently two waya out of the difficulty, though personally I should urge that the trial of the fleshles, food, (with some proper subetltute for meat, which must never be forgotten) Is best worth an experiment In every case. Many readere will remember that Mr. Horace Fletcher urge, every one to eat everything slowly, and even to chew what he drinks, to awallow nothing voluntarily, a, we usually swallow things, so long as there Is any taate In them. One great advantage of this slow chewing plan la that it excite, a large amount of allva. Thl, will go down into the etomach and help to digest not only the starch, but probably also every article or food, tnougn we can not tell exactly what article, or to what extent The saliva will give a neces sary sense of fullness, which perhaps the same meal eaten fast would never give. Need of Alkalla Today The saliva is alkallna in Us tendency. As a rule, our blood Is acid under modern conditions. It is full of waste products. And generally acidity shows Itself, not only in the blood, but also In the faces and man ners of ordinary people. There Is some thing extremely vlnegar-llke in city life. The alkaline saliva will help to counteract this. Saliva Is much more wholesome than the "Inorganic" bicarbonate of soda. Slow eating will undoubtedly increase the self-control and Us effect will be good upon the manners generally (for surely slow eating is good breeding); it will also, undoubtedly, increase the sense of taste. Instead of mlssfng nine-tenths of the flavor of each food, we shall get full pleasure from It, and the taste will become to us a faithful sentinel. There are certain things which it will refuse to pass, and generally we shall get an instinct In our choice of foods which we may safely trust. Mr. Fletcher finds that he can trust his taste instinct absolutely. His lusllnct leads him to eat less than before, because he digest, practically all that he does eat. And thus he saves money and nervous energy, energy which otherwise would be wasted, to digest the nourishment and excrete the excess and the waste products, and he saves time also. Very few of us, I imagine, give up only thirty-five minutes a day to our meals, and are ready to work or take exercise im mediately after eating. Mr. Horace Fletcher can do this, although he is over 60 years of age, and in early life was by no means a healthy man. There Is another important point to which he called my attention at Cam bridge; he has no particular desire for stimulants. He can take them without ... preclable discomfort and even with some enjoyment. He takes them for their taate rather than for their effects. Confess: Which do you take them for chiefly T I should doubt there being many people who take alcohol for its taste rather than for its effects. He also says that the experi ence of those who have tried his plan has been that any tendency toward undesirable imaginations disappears. There comes an increasingly noticeable freedom from worry, fear, anger and the unwholesome feelings In general. He thinks that in bis plan lies one of the solutions of the great problem of Impurity. Dewey's No-Breakfast Plan. There Is another way In which It is possible to avoid the giving up of the flesh foods. That way has been called the no breakfast plan. It does not interfere with the social evening meal. Dr. Dewey, an American, may be called the Inventor of it among western peoples. He urges every one to adopt it, and he has hundreds of successful followers already. It is prob able that it is most likely to be successful if the last meal be taken somewhat late In the evening before. The theory, which we must carefully dis tinguish again from the results In any given case. Is that a long time is needed fo rtlgestlon and assimilation. Many tables of digestion are given, but they only tell how long It takes for the food to be digested within the stcmach. The stomach is not the only organ in which the food has to digest. Nor is the food assimilated at the moment whea it has been digested. It mlght-he- nearer to the mark to say that complete success will take nearer to Ave The Haste Are the experience, and methods of the man who began building his present fortune fifty years ago likely to be regarded by the youth of today as of any practical benefit: The question was propounded to the veteran William J. Onahan of Chicago by a representative of the Chicago Tribune. Mr. Onahan answered: "In their details and as affecting young men at large no. The sane, sober, careful methods of fifty years ago are as applicable today to the founding of fortune as ever they were In history. But they read too tamely for the young men of this strenuous age. The spirit of speculation has gone too far. The ex citement, of gaming, from the penny tossing by tbe newsboys to the 'margining' in the bucket shops, has led the young men of today to look upon the methods of found ing fortunes fifty years ago just as mey would look upon the methods used at that time In sending merchandise from New York to San Francisco. "You cant reach th masses of the young men of Chicago, for instance, by saying to them that the only way ta build a safe, desirable and lasting fortune Is by slow accretion and that this accretion should begin with the first salary that they draw. Tell a young man who may be tak ing up business Ufa that even on a salary of 10 a week he should be laying some of it aald and th chances are that be will laugh at you. WbyT Simply beoausa the temptation to spend never wsa so great as tt Is now. Yet this habit of saving la easier to acquire on 110 a week than It will be afterward at a week and you may b sure that It la tbe one dominant trait that must be at the foundation of fortune building. 1 "In th nervous eaergy of th present there U a general disposition abroad to shalv almost any philosophy of material ism fifty year old aa being out of data. It has bvea so easy to say, 'Tea. you could da hours than to two or three la the case of many srtlcles of food. Dr. Dewey says that If we allow between each meal and the next such an Interval that we may never be dealing with two sets of food at the same time, then two meals a day will be ample for us. We shall use np lees energy In digestion and absorbing ou food and In getting rid of waste. We shall therefore have moVe energy for muscular work or brain work or both. In the early morning, he says, we should do onr best work. The day la fresh, and we should be fresh also. We should have a store of energy ready after the night of rest, and that energy we should use for our regular occupation. Why should we use It for digestion, especially when we remember that none of the food may be ready for actual service in the body till hours after breakfast T It Is found that laborers can get through their morning's work without breakfast as well as seden tary business men, and be notes from the bible: "Urhappy art thou, oh, land, when thy princes eat In the morning." The Persians at their best used to eat no breakfast. The main meal, he holds, should be at 13 or 1. At that time some work baa already been done; we have more time to give up to a careful enjoyment of the luncheon, we have better appetite and we have saved some expense by lessening one meal. We will also have saved some expense by lessening the amount at each meal. "The result," says Dr. Dewey, "will be all around Improvement." He maintains that there Is no disease which cannot bo removed, or at least be benefited by the plan. Indlgeeton will disappear'; so will depression and heaviness; in fact all sorts of illnesses have been found to give way to this treatment. First Failure. I tried the no-breakftst plan twice with out much success, but at last, on the third attempt, I found that it suited me, though I was unable to go without food later than 12:30. On one day I tried to play racquets from 12:30 to 1:30, but the result wa, a failure; I felt quite slack. At first I had found It better to take breakfast at 10 or 1L It Is interesting to notice that with this plan also the desire for stimu lants disappears. It seems quite likely that one cause for the desire is that there still remains in the stomach a certain amount of undigested and perhaps fermenting ma terial, which creates a thirst or Hunger of a peculiar kind. But it should not be forgotten that indi viduals differ and that aa yet scarcely one single universal law about diet has emerged from masses and masses of statistics col lected from every country under the sun by myriads of careful and often painful re searches. It is not entirely a matter of science, for imagination goes a long way. A person Imagines that he will starve if he does not eat breakfast. That by Itself is enough to make failure possible. And there la In deed a real feeling of hunger. It has been compared to the feeling of thirst for alco hol. It has been a habit-hunger, which may disappear after the first few days, so that the person would rather not eat. But still at the time It Is a real sensation and is likely to make the person anxious. Besides this, customs are not altogether to be transgressed with Impunity. House holds have their laws, and to violate these laws may bring trouble. Again, to rely on any one habit of living makes a man some what of a slave. He who can live healthy anyhow is In some respects better off. And experiments have not always sue ceeded. I do not know that there have been any failures of the chewing plan, but one well known American physician gives a verdict against the no-breakfast plan. He draws his conclusions from many establishments scattered all over America. He prefers the two main meals, and he puts them at different times; be would have a morning and an evening meal. Small Meala Taken Often. Nor can we possibly dare to assert that there Is none whom several little meals at short Intervals would not suit better than the Dewey plan. Anyhow we have no right to state that bis plan is bound to succeed, still less that it is bound to succeed at once. But there is this favor of both the slow chewing and no-breakfast plans, they do not neglect pleasant taste, and the power that it has to attract pc le. This fact Is too much neglected. It is of no use to give people dull or nauseous masses of stuff sticky and glutinous, or watery, or fibrous even If we do give it a certain amount of prickllnes, and stimulus by means of peppers and condiments. Such stuff is better left alone. The food must bo pleasant; It must be more pleasant than the customary food; It must be far more pleasant. Mr. Flstcher and Mr. Dewey come In here. They say: "Choose your foods; choose those of which you like the taste." It Is Interesting to know that Mr. Fletcher has come down to the simple or fleshless foods, not from any human motives, but because his Instinct now prefers them. He has no desire for any other. He says; "Eat slowly; and It matters little what you eat." I think both of them minimize the importance of a careful choice of foods, especially until the right instinct shall have been developed. Then doubt less the taste and inclination will tell precisely what is the best food at any given time. Gradual Ckaag, Dealraale. One of the strongest objections brought to Get Rich so snd so once, but you cant do It now.' "But a truth is a truth and that perma nent fortune must be the product of sound, conservative building is truer today, al most, than It ever was before. Most of the wealthy men of today began fortune build ing from the ground up. They began whea habit, of thrift and frugality were far more general In both old and young than they are now and. while tbey worked longer hours for less pay, they aaved more money. "I hare looked to the civil war. always, as being th line of demarcation between th young man of yesterday and ths young man of today. I don't know but what war is productive of the spirit of extravagance. It represents wsate and ruin. It creates a feeling of unatableoess. Certainly th great civil war in this country changed the traits and characteristics of the people. Excitement took the place of repose. Spec ulation supplanted steady trade and this' has led to the spirit of gambling, which in on or another form has become dan gerously widespread. "Too many young men today have become infected with this paaalon. There Is a basts to grow rich. Conservative methods In business ar too slow. Ths hop of gain ing fortune without labor baa become widely alluring. "This is a fatal delusion. Kvsn wher wealth is thus galnad. It la more often a curse than a blessing. Tha fortune quiekly gained and without labor generally is a speedily dispatched. Yet just to th extent that w ss flattering opportunities held out to young man for th making of fortunes by some short eut. Just to that ex teat on may gus that the proposi tions ar aocepted. ' "No doubt thar Is now mora restless nargy displayed by young aaea 4a all pur suits than formerly, but taer were mora steadiness, greater erseveraae. and, aa a oooaequeno. mor lasting result Aft against ths Dewey plan is that It may lead to constipation. The Englishmen re lies on his breakfast. Now, though a break fast may be artificial means of securing the national object, yet It certainly does secure that object, and this prevents a great deal of depression. But, In the place of the breakfast, hot water ran be taken, and this may obviate the difficulty, There must be thoss in whose cases the no-breakfast plan Is as a dose of an un known tonic or "blood-purifier." In such cases, and In numerous others. It may be preferable to "go slew," In order that you may see that the change is In your di rection. Meanwhile all possible ouslde helps should be added; brlek and Interesting physical exercises, the In-breathing of pure air and the use of the atr-and-llght-bath It may be remarked that the body need Dot be bathed In the air all at once, any mors than tt need be bathed In cold water all at once; as one might sponge with cold water first one part and then another. o one might expose first one part and then another to the cold air, keeping the rest of the body warm. Warm cleansing baths should also be used and every aid should be brought to bear at the time of the crisis. You must have some hobby, whether it be carpentering or photography or ping-pong; you muet devote yourself to It more than usual. What halfway house Is there toward the no-breakfast plan? Obviously toward the chewing plan the halfway house would be Gladstone's method of thirty bites for each mouthful. A good stepping-stone would be tbe fruit breakfast plan. C. Arthur Pearson, the London news paper publisher, one of the busiest men of the day, finds the fruit breakfast plan wonderfully valuable. On the continent of Europe the breakfast consists of light things, such as coffee with roll and butter, This can hardly be reckoned as a meal. Many people take only a little tea or cocoa. Some take hot water. But a good advance toward the no-breakfast plan Is to eat one or more kinds of fruit. With the fruit carefully eaten there should be no consti pation at all, for the fruit provides us with bulk and fiber and water and salts. If possible it should be fresh. The skins should not be cut off, or else they should be boiled so that the valuable salts may be extracted. The boiled water should men oe a run. Apparently "the nearer the bone the sweeter the meat" is not ap plicable to fruits or grains. The nearer the skin the richer the salts is the proverb. Borne people cannot digest skins, but such people can easily put them out of their mouths after chewing. Stewed fruits are better than none, so long as their juices are preserved with them. HOW THEY DIE. When People Become Victims of a Volcanic Eruption. An Interesting question that arises In the medical mind, on reading the stories of the St. Pierre disaster, says the Philadelphia Medical Journal, Is aa to the exact cause of -death. The newspaper accounts suggest direct burning or overwhelming with the volcanic dust. This material is commonly called asnes. but It Is not correctly de scribed by that word; It is usually rocky matter finely divided by explosive action. A considerable proportion of the deaths might be due to suffocation by noxious gasss. Among such would be carbon dioxide, commonly called carbonic acid, and sulphurous acid. The former is not ac tively poisonous and would not be the cause of death unless present in considerable pro portion, but the latter gas is highly lrre splrable and even a small proportion will render air so irritating that suffocation must ensue. We have but meager reports from those who have been near enough to great volcanic eruptions to appreciate the actual conditions. One of the most famous eruptions In history, that of Mount Vesu vius, in A. D. 79, has been described byS the younger Pliny from notes left by bis uncle, who lost his life in an effort to rescue a friend. The narrator states that tb death of the elder Pliny was due to fumes.'' of sulphur. Even making allowance for thet imperfect identification of chemical eub. stances at that early period, we may safely assume that by such an expression sul phuroue acid was indicated, since thla gas was undoubtedly familiar; indeed, it Is mentioned in the Odyssey as a disinfectant. The Roman writer further adds that tbe body was untouched by fire. In some of tbe recent reports from Martinique specific mention is made of the same suffocating Influences. The steamship Koddam escsped through a shower of hot fragment a and lost some of its crew by the inhalation of sulphurous gases. It may be well to note that when disasters by lire occur in closed spaces suffocation by carbon monoxide and smoke Is likely to occur. In this way persons in the gallery of a theater may be killed without direct injury by fire or by falling timbers. It is probable that instances of this kind have given rise to the notion of death by "swallowing fire," a widespread popular belief. Credential, Are Deiay4, WASHINGTON, June 14. The State de partment has been advised that Mr. Hengle- muller will receive his credentials as am bassador from Austria to the United States some time next fall. Thus it will happen that Sir Michael Herbert, though more newly appointed as ambassador, probably will be presented before the Austrian am bassador. A Plea for the Old Reliable Methods of Saving. years ago. Then habits of life were sim pler, temptations were less common and extravagance of living comparatively un known. Now it requires great strength of character in the young man to stand out against the temptations of environment. No doubt there Is a certain fascination in these modern activities in the wbtrl and excitement of latter day trading and specu lation. Amusements, too, are more - com mon and costly and dissipations ar more alluring. "That there ar I2.SOO.000.000 In the sav ings banks of the United States and that tha totals are' increasing every year shows promise. At the same time, I am not sure that It would not be shown by analysis that adopted citizens from continental Europe lead as these depositors. To some extent It may be true of the direct deacendants of that old stock, but It has lost Its signifi cance when applied to the typical Ameri can. "In these observstlons It should not be lost to mind that in general a vie is mor apparent than a virtue. And on tbe surface w often see traits to b deplored lack of reverend and respect for parents and parentlal authority, loss of the deference due to age, and a falling off la ths chival rous respsct do to women. "But as for opportunity for young men today, it is greater than it was ever before, only it Is not to be sought In th bucket shops or on th race course. Steadiness, so briety, and perseverance will assuredly bring their reward to th young men rf today a la th past, and mor swiftly. The enormous activities of the present age; the universal expansion of American trade; which bow aa never befor. pushes Its gtaat ramification all over the country, point to tbe gates f boundless possibilities to th energy and capacity of American eaterprlaa. And th young snea of today hold the keya." CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Jobbers Eitrsmelj Well Pleased with Re sults Thus far. JUNE WILL BE A RECORD BREAKER Not Much Chnnce In Market Values, but Prices as n Rale Continue Firm Consuming; Demand Ex cellent for June. The excursion to be held on Thursday and Friday of this week has been the all sorblng topic in the Jobbing district during the last few (rays. No trouble or pains are being spared by those having the matter In charge to make It the banner excursion of the senKon. An Invitation to take purt In the excursion has been extended to the Live Stok exchange at South Omaha, and according to latest reports enough will go ftom there to till one car. Sentiment re gaining these excursions has changed very materially and Jobbers generally are tak ing greater Interest than ever before. It seems to be admitted on all sides Jhat per sonal acquaintance between the city and the country Is of great advantage to all parties and ought to be encouraged. As regards trade the situation could hardly be more encouraging. Reports from all sections of tributary territory Indicate crops In general as doing well and giving promise of an abundant harvest. Such damage as has resulted from a surplus of moisture Is limited to small areas and will not cut much rlgure In general results. One thir.r there Is plenty ot green feed -In the country, which means a large hay crop and n abundance oi feed for cattle. As cattle hive of lnte teen very protitahle for far mers money ought to be plentiful In the Gtock-growlnc sections of the west and trule In all line, correspondingly good. A knowledge of these facts produces a gen eral feeling o confidence In all depart ments r.no Jibbers seem Inclined to push out for trada harder than ever. Their ef forts along this line, together with the very large consuming demand in the coun try, accounts for the Increase that Is re ported In the volume of sales over previous years. Prospects for trade in tbe grazing s'ate.h wee of Nebraska are most en coureglng. In those states live stock has not commencer5 to move as yet, but it is predicted that shipments will be the heaviest in the history of the trade and that more money will be sent back from the big markets than ever before. Grocers Very Busy. As was the case last week all the grocery Jobbers In the city are reporting a very leavy business doing and it la about all that they can manage to keep abreast of the flood of orders arriving by every mail. The orders are ro. for any special line of goods, as Is the case sometimes, but cover the whole range of goods to be found In stock, showing that consumers are buying because they nave the money and are will ing to part with It. Nothing of any great Interest has hap- fiened as regards market prices during the ast few days. Shipments of the new pack of Columbia river salmon are reported on the way an', win bo on tbe market in tho near future. Drleii fruits are moving along w'lheut any very noteworthy changes in tha general situation. The new crop of Smyrna tig is said to be very backward, owing to cold weather and a lata spring ou mo otner siae. Ahead of Last Yenr. Etertlve building operations In all sec tion of tributary territory has created an active demand tor all kinds of builders' hardware and jobbers renort sales run ning considerably ahead of corresponding period last year. Nails, paints, oils, glass an J titmu' ot all kinds are selling freely. There !h also a very (rood demand for shelf huniwnie o all kinds and because of this dcirynd. whicl' Is common to the whole country ss well as to the west, prices gen erally tire nrni. rnHifc ai ine present rime would ptem to point to an excerjtion- ally good summer trade. Good Shoe Weather. Omaha la well suDDlled with shoe houses and when thev all renort a Kood business It means that something Is doing. The fact mm inert nas oeen an Kinds or weatner thU spring has been of Kreat help to re tailers in cleaning up their stocks. Job bers sny that an unusually large number of tiizini'-ur orders are coming to hand. which means that retailers are disposing of Ihilr stocks ranldly and that nromipota are good for a continuance of the demand. Tray ling n en on tne road are all send ing in the most encouraging reports and at the came time ere taking many fall orders. Merchants vlio were a little backward abo'ji placing orders a short time ago have eviaentiy cnangea tneir minds and are f illing into line with the balance of trade. Tne announcement made some time ago In UK's-, columns mat tnis would dp tne ban- r var sc lar as Jobbers of leather goods e cunceniod still promises to prove true. - Dry Goods Strong;. While no marked change has taken place in the dry goods market advices from eastern manufacturers all indicate that they have aold up very closely the output of cotton and woolen goods and that wie naiket la really in a strong position. Whtther that 1b true or not there fs cer tainly no great surplus of goods on hand, as evidenced by the difficulty met by job bers In getting some orders tilled. Local houses report a very large sale of fall goods of all kinds; in fact the total volume Is far in excess of the record of previous years at this season. Unless all nens fail this will be the best year in the h'lstrty of the Jobbing dry goods trade of thl4 tnaiket A good ninny buyers have been In during the week and current business lia been tuny aa sau-.iaciory aa tn lull business. Fruits and Produce. A tempting array of fruits and vegetables was to be found on the market all the week. Almost anything that one "ould de sire was to be found, and of good quullty. Prices, however, continue rather stiif, as has been the case all the season. Strawberries, which command more at tention than any other fruit at this season, are coming from a number of different souroea, bu; i.rioeu are high and there doe, pot seem to he any prospect of their being very low at any time during the sea son. People who have been In the habit of waiting ter cheap stock to put Into cans are more than likely to suffer disappoint ment. It 1h si! Id that early cherries will be scarco and high, but there is promise of a lamer ii n. oi lute varieties. Lemons are high, aa v.-lil be noted from the quotations In jinot.'ie column. In ihe way ct vegetables old potatoes are pretty well tolu out, only a limited quantity of northern stork icmalning in sight. Cotton Market. NEW YORK, June 14.
