-.I7 J -. - V i '. v .', CONCENTRATED FOOD, It Would Prove ( Poor Diat and DIt- ; aatroue to Humanity. ' , "It ie ft notion fondly cherished by some persona," writes' a prorai ' nent English physician in a London ;f , (medical journal, "that the day will , V come when the human race will r'tt:j eubsist : entirely on highly concent jjrated food. The time occupied in f y: v' '(gating the daily meals will bo. eared ' t ;' ty swallowing a tablet of concen-'V?-pirated essence, and all questions of fastidiousness for food will be bau .'i Vished, while the .dyspepsia arising ! . from an overbulky ana hastily swal '; -K; Wed tncal will finally disappear. i'jV.'V, ' ."The idea is - of course utterly fallacious ' and plainly opposed to ' V sound physiological teaching. Such . V: a dietetic consummation thus icno ' '.' cently entertained would probably end in the extinction of the race by C ' disease as' a, sequence of inanition. ; I V 1 The fact is -that the volume of food serves a definite purpose in the body. "Highly concentrated foods art' prone to be very irritating to the digestive organs, and they also tend to exhaust the secretory powers of the stomach, the digestive juices be ing poured out in a quantity far in excess of the requirements of that food, and thus secretory energy, : which is the key to assimilation, is uselessly spent. ; "Concentrated meat essences con taining merely the extractives of meat are, for example, the most powerful exciters of gastric secre tion that we possess, but when par taken of exclusively they avail noth ing in the direction of real nutri tion and lead most likely to serious waste of tissue in a word, to star vation. "They serve admirably, however, 'as a kind of condiment or adjuvant ' "to food, preparing the ground for its reception and digestion; hence soup is the first item in the physio logically well designed meal. When kept within reasonable limits the "bulkiness of food excites a healthy stimulus to the muscular action of the stomach and the bowels, and al together the indications are plain that the digestive organs are not 1 adapted for dealing with highly "' f concentrated food. , , ' Tood must have, so to speak, a yypfcysiological ballast before it is ac- ..y ipepttiDie to me digestive processes, Eight pounds of mutton or beef would thus be reduced to two pounds of dry substance, but the water must be replaced to a large extent before tlie meat can be cook ed or eaten. "There are, of course, particular cases, as, for example, in illness, in which it is necessary that the diet should be sparing in quantity and yet highly nutritious in quality, but in health the use of coicentrated foods is physiologically absurd, if not mischievous. The time when men will take for their meals and be satisfied with as much concen trated food as will .cover a three penny piece can never be eo long as the human mechanism is as it is and physiological laws are inexora ble." Man's Bast Aga. At what age is a man at his best and most likely to achieve his life work? The Rev. F. B. Meyer once put the age at forty-six. Thai seemed late to a critic, but Dr. Leonard Guthrie at the Royal Col lege of Physicians supported the statement. He quoted Jastro's ta ble dealing with specially precocious people, which showed that the aver age age at which great artists did their first work was 13.8; their first great work, 28; their greatest work, 46.7, and that the average age at death was 60.1. For poets the fig ures in the same order were 15.6, 27.8, 43.9 and 61.6; for philoso phers, 17.6, 32.1, 47.7 and 00.3. Here is comfort for those who think of middle life as flat prose. Sun day School Chronicle. Hia Buaineca. "You say the officer arrested you while you were quietly minding your own business?' "Yes, your worship. He caught me suddenly by the coat collar and threatened to strike me with his truncheon unless I accompanied him to the station." "You were quietly attending to your business making no noise or disturbance of any kind ?" "None whatever." r "It seems very strange. What is your business?" i . "He's a burglar, your worship' eaid the constable. London Globe. A Proposal. .

' COURTROOM COMEDY, , ., , . i, . A Little' Pasaass Oatwaan tha Lawyer ' and tha Landlady. Tho woman was iu the box, and she was a very nice mannered,' re spectablo woman, who kept a cheap boarding house, and it was the dc 6ite of one of her guests to be dis honest that had brought her to tho court to make him pay his board bin. . v : . ' '"How old did you say you were, madam?" inquired the lawyer, with no reason on earth, for an elderly landlady is no more unxios to lose a board" bill than a young one. "I did not say, sir," she respond ed, flushing to the roots of her hair. "Will you be kind enough to say, madam ?" "It's none of your business!" "Objection sustained," smiled the judge. "Um," said the lawyer, rubbing his chin. "How much did you say the amount was the defendant owed you?" "Three pounds." "And for how long was that ?" "Three weeks." "That's 1 a week, isn't it ?" "Yes, sir." "Three weeks, at 1 a week is 3. I believe vou said Y" "Yes, sir." The witness was patient, but her temper was not improved under the strain. "Isn't that an extravagant price to pay for board in your locality, madam?" inquired the lawyer se verely. "He didn't pay it, sir," answered the worm, beginning to turn. The lawyer gave a little start of surprise, then became indignant at the very thought of a witness talk ing like that. "Don't be facetious, madam," he said, assuming a tone of warning. "This is a serious matter. I have asked if your prices were not ex orbitant, and you have seen fit to answer lightly, madam. Now, madam, I ask you in all earnestness if you mean to tell this court that your prices are moderate and that if I should come to your house to board you would charge me 1 a week? Answer directly, madam," and the barrister squared his shoul ders and assumed an imperial man ner. The witness was not at all abash ed. "No, sir," she 6aid simply, "I would" "J thought not, I thought not,'' interrupted the lawyer, bending over and rubbing his hands. "No. sir," continued the witness, "I should not charge you at all. I should make you pay in advance." London Tit-Bits. Putting Your Foot In It. Mr. George Russell in his book "Collections and Recollections" tells the following 6tory: "A friend of mine in the diplo matic service visiting Rome in the old days f the temporal power had the honor of an interview with Pio Nono. The pope graciously offered him a cigar. 'I am told vou will find this very line!' The FJnglish man made that stupidest of all an swers, 'Thanks, your holiness, but 1 have no vices.' This isn't a vice. If it was, you would have it.' " Playgoers will remember the fol lowing passage in Bulwer's "Lady of Lyons" and draw their own con clusions: Claude (offering snuff box) M. Beauseunt, will you honor me? Beauseant No, your highness. I have no small vices. Claude Why, if it were a vice you'd be sure to have it, M. Beau- scant. Peraietancy. Persistency is characteristic of all men who have accomplished any thing great. They may lack in some particular, may have many weaknesses and eccentricities, but the quality of persistence is never absent in a successful man. No matter what opposition he meet? or what discouragements overtake him, he is always persistent. Drudgery cannot disgust him. Labor cannot weary him. He will persist, no mat ter what comes or goes. It i9 a part of his nature, lie could al most cs easily stop breathing. It is not 60 much brilliancy of intellect or fertility of resource as persist ency of effort, constancy of purpose, that gives success. Rad Haired Charmers. "There are no red haired old maids.'' The speaker, a red haired actress, went on : "The red haired have an excess of iron in their blood. This causes them to overflow with vitality, ani mal spirits, gayety, wit, charm but I must not boast, must I?" She smiled, and smoothing her ruddy locks with a slim white hand,' she added: "At any rate it is a palpable fact that the red haired girl never gets left As a ralo she it married at twenty. A red haired old maid is a tariff." New York' Prose; , LAND ENTRY NO. eiW8. North" Carolina' J ' Caldwell County. J t ' , T, S.
