In an article on the ' "Growth of Fletcherism" in the World's Work, Isaac F. Marcosson gives Horace Fletcher's following rules for eating which are given to all patients of the Harvard Dental school dispensary: 1. Eat only in response to an actual appetite, which will be satisfied with r.lain bread and butter. 2. Chew all solid food until it is liquid and practically swallows itself. 3. Sip and taste all liquids that have taste, such as soup and lemonade. Wa ter has no taste and can be swallowed immediately. 4. Never take food while angry or worried, and only when calm. Waiting for the mood in connection with tne appetite is a speedy cure for both an ger and worry. 5. Remember and practice these four rules and your teeth and health will be fine. Equally significant of the growth of Fletcherism are the efforts made by the proprietor of a chain of fifty dairy restaurants in New York and else where. It consists of the distribution of a nicely printed folder among the customers, containing a "dietetic code." It includes instructions on "How to Eat." Some of them are, "Eat slowly and masicate thoroughly;" "Never permit yourself to eat a meal in a condition of nervous worry;" "Eat what you find of benefit;" "Do not eat anything that disagrees with you." Commenting on the last rule, the fol der says: The following out of this rule will require self-denials, but some time in your life you must definitely decide whether you are to be master over your body or be its slave, and it is bet ter to make the decision at once, and after you have practiced correct habits of eating for a short time it will be surprising how soon your tvue appetite for things that are wholesome and good will assert itself, and you will in stinctively turn to the right foods. Here, then, is a "quick lunch" res taurant advising its patrons to slow-lunch methods. use Greatest Book Writers. , Washington Correspondent Brooklyn Eagle. According to Ainsworth R. Spofford, the aged and scholarly assistant li brarian of Congress, the people of Ger many are the greatest writers of books in the world. He brought out this fact today in a little discussion of books and authors., in which he said that the taste for history at the present time amounts almost to a passion. "Are history writers improving in ac curacy?" "Accuracy," replied Mr. Spofford laconically, "is still the rarest , of hu man virtues." "What is the tendency of writers nowadays as to topics?" "It runs to fiction as the sparks fly upward. In England alone last year 1000 books of fiction were brought out. Almost as many were brought out in this country. But many of them are books on the sciences I call them the dismal sciences. Authorship in Ger many is much more widely diffused than in any other country, and print ing costs less in Germany than else TTmnce prints about as many books every year as England books on science, literature and political economy. Italy, too, is a country where many books are written and printed. "Two hundred years ago," continued Mr Spofford,; "nine-tenths of the books published;-were on the subject of relig ion That 'was at the time of the'Puri tans Todav less tian one-tenth of the book's are. on-that -subject.

Harry Payne Whitney tells of a horse-owner of every luxurious tastes' who, wherever he may be, is satisfied with no less than the best. During the racing season in the west, this horseman once - invited a friend in humble circumstances to dine with him at a certain very expensive hostelry. ' The guest was much impressed by his surroundings, and made frequent inquiries touching the cost of the:va- rious luxuries there to be obtained. As the dinner neared its close, he asked! the horseman as to the amount of the . tip he usually gave the waiter.. "Well," said the horse-owner, "if he serves me well, I generally hand him a dollar. .If the service is badly, why, I give him a tip on the races."

Fourteen nun- time and perhaps permanently. The divorce records of Cook county show that between 2,200 and 2,300 di- vorces are granted each year within its wealth living in one of Chicago's aris- tocratic suburbs on the income of his property. He is a well educated, typi cal American, and while on a visit to London became acquainted with the woman who subsequently became his wife. She was considerably his junior in years, possessed a little money of her own and became his wife after a short courtship. The husband found jthat instead of acquiring a partner who would be a comfort to his declin ing years he had married a woman whose object wras to live separately from him on alimony which sue con fidently believed a Chicago court would award her merely on her own representations. What Experience Teaches. These are the declarations of the man, based on his experience with his European wife: European women are being spoiled morally by America's army of grass widows. Divorced and "separately maintain ed'' women ought to be segregated from other married women in board ing houses. European women1, believe all Ameri cans millionaires and think it is typi cally American to marry the first one of them who comes along and separate soon after with a "maintenance" in come. In relating his experience the grass widow victim declared that he believ ed it would be found hundreds of men are in the same predicament as him self and that something ought to be done to disabuse the minds of women from the idea that "marrying for ali mony" is a, reputable or defensible oc cupation. He , is a venerable looking man, with flowing white hair and beard, and in describing his experience spoke more in sorrow than in anger. "There is no doubt in my mind,' he ! said, "that the . prevailing opinion amons the women of Europe is that it i w is possible in this country for them to live separate from their husbands on alimony. "Take my own case as an illustra tion. My wife moved in a fairly good circle of society in .London before I married her. She had lived in Paris also, and when she met me I suppose where I owned considerable property. We had no sooner settled down in the boarding house than she began to evince signs of discontent which I could not acount for. I had given her her own way, which I thought was the best method to get along with her. I have since discovered my mistake, but we will let that pass. "In the boarding house was one of the typical grass widows which are overrunning Chicago. This woman was a gay and festive sort of person, and every month exhibited the good sized check which she said she was re ceiving as separate maintenance' from her husband. She also asserted she j was receiving alimony from, three oth- .ers. hut in this I believe she exaerge rated. But it only served to stir up my wife to carry out the plan she had conceived when she married me on the Continent. We hadn't been here a year rate maintenance. "The grass widow in a boarding house is an unsettling influence on'dll the other married women in it," con tinued the victim. "The woman my wife met when we settled down in Chicago here persuaded her that life with me was a dull, uneventful exist ence, and if she only succeeded in her alimony proposition she could live as she pleased, enjoy more liberties than she could as a married woman, and spend her time at card parties from morning to night," Attorneys in discussing the divorce law of the State admit that it is made to give the advantage to the woman, and that often women take undue ad vantage of its provisions in appealing for relief. They say, however, that if it were otherwise it would, in very many cases, work a great injustice up- nn the nmmm nrhn aa o rnle ara not. so well able to bear tae expense of lit- igation as are the men. .They say that the judges are disposed to give a wo- man every opportunity,-, and - will" noti jeven permit a man to showshe is ab- solutely , unworthy to receive relief, (holding that as long as she is his wife she is entitled to every , protection up j to the time the matrimonial ties are js n i - 1 ,3 . iorinany uissuiveu.

Mr. Roosevelt is an energetic man who can make his own future. as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri ous Ci objectionable natureand if at any time a remedial agent is required; to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used ; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, Because they know it is wholesome, simple and 'gentle in its action. We inform, all reputa ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome ' Californian blue figs are" used to promote .the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer, offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get ihc genuine-you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottlo oh hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. . I I Quite A Business, Nowadays.
