Half the kissing done In the world to a pleasureless duty. > Down with the food trust, and let appetites be unconfined! The ratio of one divorce to every twelve marriages is the It to 1 issue of American morals. King Edward has knighted Lieut. Bhackelton for getting farthest south— Without a controversy, we presume. The Ohio desperado who murdered half a dosen before killing himself was out of prison under a “suspended "sentence.” ’.--Lp—.'ffi ; ' ' ' lijii ,„i u lia Jfcli II ' A St. Louis woman is very angry because by mistake she married a cook Instead, of a count. Some women never know when they are in luck. It looks as if the public might have to fall back on the theory that the north pole was not discovered until the spring of the year 1909. Mr. Rockefeller think* it is fine to struggle, and the United States courts appear to be determined to furnish him as much struggling as they can. John Mitchell says he doesn’t care for the liberty to do things that nobody wants to do. John talks as though .he wanted to climb somebody's apple tree. The latest in millinery is the tocfue. And we suppose they’ll soque the toque, and poque it and Joque it, and the old man will go broque paying for IL Speaker Cannon doesn’t know of any law In this country against snoring. Even the Oklahoma constitution inadvertently neglected to give the matter any attention. ' Prof. Shailer Mathews says the modern minister “inserts religion surreptitiously into his sermons.” Well, did not the Apostle Paul himself craftily catch the Corinthians "wltlr guile?” According to Sir Thomas Lipton, it ie an excellent thing to be born poor, while Andrew Carnegie proclaims the felicity of dying poor. And people continue to do both, with no realization •f the blessedness of their lot. Education in agricultural methods seems to be In demand. Within eleven years the number of students in the agricultural colleges has Increased from 4,000 to more than 14,000. The days when the farmer held “book-learn-ing" in contempt have evidently passed. The president of the Phenix Insurance Company believed In Insurance so thoroughly that he thought his organisation would run along all right even if he took $1,000,000 of its funds for his own use. He does not claim that he was giving the company a business administration. =■ The race of Amazons has never wholly died out. In England to-day, where young men and boys are training in troops of “scouts” to act as a defensive militia In case of war, their sisters have, in some places, formed brigades of girls. These modern Amaxons ride bicycles on hospital service and cook their own meals. How much the annual increase of national wealth is due to saving and how much to other causes It is Impossible to calculate. Equally uncertain Is the evidence of the amounts expended in new houses in and about cities and towns, new buildings for business purposes, new mills and factories and the construction of railroads and other works of one kind or another. The statistics of these expenditures are very imperfect, and such as we have are largely estimates. The weather man Is the standing Joke of the paragraphers who fill space by holding him responsible for the different brands of weather that are turned loose on an unoffending community, but the paragraphers know, and everyone else knows, that the weather man is the greatest life saver and property saver in the whole world. He cannot control the elements, but he can give warning, and men can seek safety. We cannot speak with certainty, but we believe there are hundreds of men alive to-day who owe their lives to the weather bureau; and the warnings the bureau sends out save more lives at sea than on land. The adult, man who ventures into matrimony always does so with his eyes open. Ho has heard the heartbreaking stories of his married friends, be has been favored with the solemn warnings of widowers, sod and grasp, and his bachelor well-wishers have exhorted him eloquently. When, despite all these efforts to save him. he yields to hypnotic advances of some scheming widow or match-making mamma and permits himself to be lured up the AlslebfSlghi,~lbTbs cacophonous music of “Lohengrin" and with a high collar around his neck and tight shoes upon his feet ■—in such event all sympathy for the fellow becomes a hissing and a mock lag. As well pity the winebibber who complains of the morrow’s malaise •r ths soldier who complains of

wounds, or the yokel who raises a cry of treachery when the adroit thim-ble-rigger rakes in his, hoard. One of the most cheerful of modern medical iconoclasts is Dr. Woods Hutchinson, who combines in bls own person wide experience, scientific learning, refreshing common sense and a gift for writing entertaining! yon health topics. The doctor-authpr’s latest exploit is an article defending the human appetite. In all ages the favorite way of “mortifying the flesh” has been to thwart the appetite. Sometimes it has been a matter of religion, sometimes a purely health measure. The apostles of a slender regimen like to assert that "man digs his grave with his teeth," and that ’most of the Ills that flesh is heir to come from over-eating. The doctor lays on right lustily In behalf of the normal human appetite. It is, he says, "to be treated with the greatest respect, la to bo thwarted only for the beet of reasons and In special emergencies, and Is, all things considered, the most reliable, Indeed, almost the only guide that we have In matters of diet.” Thia, he declares, is the overwhelming consensus of the laboratory, the hospital, the family physician, the sanatorium and the diet kitchen. Comparing the deaths due to diseases following over-eating with deaths due to under-feeding, he pushes his point farther. Of the forty-two principal causes of death In the United States, but three are related In any direct way to over-eating—diseases of the stomach, diseases of the liver and diabetes. The list of those due to under-feeding, or In which the mortality Is highest among - those who are poorly fed and lowest among those abundantly fed, accounts for 250,000 victims, or nearly thirty per cent of the whole annual number. In this list are consumption, pneumonia, typhoid, Inanition (the polite, scientific term for starvation) and diarrheal diseases.-- Other facts he marshals, such as that “the blameless and frugal poor have the highest death rate, the highest disease rate and the lowest longevity rate of any class In the community,” and that practically every prolonged famine is followed by the outbreak Of some epidemic." Dr. Hutchinson makes out a good case for the appetite. He does fiot mean, of course, that it is to be Indulged without discretion. But when a man Is hungry, it is fairly conclusive evidence that the human engine he is operating needs fuel. Some men crave and, therefore, need “three squares” a day. Others get along better on one hearty meal and "two lighter ones. Modern medical science is disposed to approve the principle that every man intuitively knows his own needs better than anyone can tell him. •
