WOULD YOU THEN READ Dr. J. M. Thurston of this city, one of America's foremost medical scien tists,' an authority" on '.dietetics' and nervous and mental diseases, has compiled a pamphlet of "Co'-tery .Dont's" and "Eating Dont's," which he is now distributing to his, friends. 7 "If humans lived properly ate only what Is good for them, properly cooked, took the right kind of exercise, abstained from vices and retired early and slept in well ventilated rooms then man would only reach the' prime of life at the age of sixty, and, generally speaking, live to a ripe old age. I believe the average life of humans would be increased from seventy to at least one hundred years," said Dr. Thurston today. He added that he hoped to be still practicing his profession when he was ninety years old. He observed his seventy-fifth birthday on July 2, this year. Listed among Dr. Thurston's "Cooker: Dont's" are the following: Cookery Dont's. Don't cook vegetables with meat; saturating starchy foods (all vegetables are more or less starchy) with the grease of meats renders them indigestible and the food-values of each Incompatible loading the system with poisonous ptomalns and causing disease. . Don't cook fruit, green or dried, with , sugar. It spoils the 'fruit by toughening it, and spoils the food-value of the sugar; cooking' fruit without cane sugar develops the grape sugar inherent in all fruit, which is a tonic and laxative to liver, stomach and bowels. If the fruit is not sweet enough, 6weeten to taste as it is eaten, but always use cane sugar sparingly. Don't use the frying pan. Throw it in the alley if you are so unfortunate as to have one. Boil, stew, broil, bake, roast, but never fry. Don't cook everything in the kitchen and pantry too, into one countless potluck mess. Senseless, unbalanced, complex - mixture cooking and eating is the physically unpardonable sin of modern society. Plain unmixed diet is the touch-stone of good health, efficiency and the deepest joys of life: Don't cook a meal as you would crank an automobile. Cook all foods intended for cooking thoroughly done. Serving eggs only partly cooked is meaner than sucking a blind hen's eggs; and eating so-called "rare? meat cheats the dog out of his inalienable rights. ...... . - Found In his list of "Eating Dont's" are the following items: Eating Dont's. . Don't bolt food and drink, swallowing chunks a size larger than your shirt collar and swill down a gallon of red hot, or ice cold drink at one gulp. Chew, chew, chew the food and chew the drink all at very moderate temperature, warm or cool; insalivate thoroughly drink as well as solid food any kind of drink or any kind of liquid food such as soups, broths, etc., should be taken only a mouthful at a time, with the lips closed press the teeth forcibly together three or four times before swallowing. Don't wash a mouthful of food down with drink. If food is properly chewed and insalivated it will slip down the throat without any help; never take a drink with food in mouth, chew well and svallow before you drink; then you can chew the drink also. Don't cram the mouth with everything on the table and in the pantry too. 'Mix the food in the stomach, not in the mouth before swallowing it; the digestive apparatus must unmix if foods have been mixed in the mouth and more than half will spoil in the stomach: as in a garbage can before it can be unmixed, causing all kinds DAY NURSERY CASES FOR 423 CHILDREN Day Nursery has been filled to capacity most of August, according to the report made to the Domestic Science Association. In the twentyseven days when the nursery., was open, a total attendance of 423" was recorded. Thirty-two different children, representing nineteen families, were listed. The largest attendance for any one day was twenty three; the smallest, nine. The amount of money received from the families of the children in fees for keeping them at the nursery was $28. ' A large amount of donations was received during the month. Food, clothing, toilet articles, toys, and furniture were given to the nursery. The business session of the Domestic Science Association was held today. ' About 1,000 kinds of insects make their homes in the oak tree.

of indigestion. Eat one thing at a time, chew and swallow one thing at a time, as the child or an animal does who is guided only by organic wisdom, not palate-pleasing lusts of the flesh. Don't leave the meal feeling fuller than a tick. If you do you have made a garbage can of the stomach, eaten four times more than the system can possibly use, made worse than a hog of yourself, besides making a doctor's bill. Always save part of the appetite for the next meal. Don't eat meat, swill down beer, and other alcoholics, and all kinds of ice cold drinks, especially In summer time, unless you like to grumble at the beastly weather and pay doctor bills. For as ye sow that shall ye reap. "The Bible tells of people who lived to be over five hundred years of age. I believe this to be authentic. Many scientists also believe this to be authentic," said Dr. Thurston. "Perhaps some time we moderns will attain such

DIVERSE OPINIONS HELD ON FUND FOR HOSPITAL

It Was proposed that a sinking fund be created for the hospital like the one which has been in effect for soma time to raise the money for the South Side bridge.

ENTENTE ALLIES ARE MUCH AROUSED OVER YANKEE TRADE BILL WASHINGTON, Sept. . Europe's chancellories are deeply concerned over the drastic enactment contained in the administration shipping bill and in the revenue measure approved by the senate early today, placing retaliatory weapons in the hands of President Wilson. Through their diplomatic representatives here they are following closely this legislation which will permit the president to substitute for passive diplomacy a policy of reprisal against all nations discrimin ating against American trade. The action of this government is revo lutionary and entirely unexpected. It perm it 8 the president to retaliate for mail seizures and for boycott actions in a way that will prove distinctly em barrassing to the Entente Allies. While unofficial suggestions have been made by certain of the embas sies that these provisions violate ex isting trade agreements, they have not been received with any degree of warrant from the state department It has been pointed out that the powers given the president under the pro posed law are in every way discretion ary. He can utilize them if necessary and they can be put into effect in an emergency as recognized by Inter national law. The fact that these laws have been fathered by Senators Lewis and PheIon, both thick-and-thin supporters of the administration. Is accepted as in dicating that they have the approval of the president and Secretary Lan sing.

Very drunk and brandishing a longbarreled revolver in a terrorizing manner. Garnet Wright colored, newly arrived, ran amuck last evening along -North Third street and on North D street. He had the streets all to himself within a few seconds. "I'm a bad man from Kentucky," Wright would yell, then pull the trigger. "You're too bad for Richmond," shouted Officer Ylagling as he nabbed Wright just as the "bad man" tripped and fell across the C. & O. tracks. Wright Admits Drunk. In city court this morning Wright said he was drunk, but denied that he had a revolver. He drew a fine of $100 and costs, which will be served out at the state penal farm. "I am going to break up this practice of carrying guns in Richmond if the state has to buy a new penal farm to take care of the fellows sent from Richmond," Mayor. Robbins remarked.

"When the proposition was first taken up upon the suggestion of the Palladium the committee bad little hopes of it ever becoming as large a contest as it is. ' Our highest hopes were to get fifty babies registered and now there are over three times that number In the competition." Fond Mothers are Proud. Mother are all proud of the showing that their babies are making and in cases where their children do not measure up to the standard, they never fail to ask about the best methods to be taken whereby the defects may be remedied. Doctors are taking a lively interest in the contest and are gladly donating their time to the examinations. They claim that they derive much valuable knowledge themselves through the examinations. Few Cries are Heard. Babies are received in such a manner that they do not fear the strangers who receive them and it is seldom that a cry is heard coming from the Social Service rooms. The reception room Is gaily decorated in flowers today and a VIctrola furnishes music for the entertainment of the mothers while they are waiting for their turn. The mothers stay with the child while it is being examined.

PUSHING REVENUE Continued From Page On. ate marked time to await the action of the conference committee, working on miscellaneous routine legislation. As the bill went to the conference committee from the senate it would raise an estimated revenue of $208,000,000 in addition to the present gov ernment incowe. The Increase would be secured by doubling the basic Income tax rate, and raising the surtaxes on large incomes all along the line; by taxing. Inheritances and the net profits of munitions manufactur es, by a license tax on the stock of corporations; by Increased excise taxes on beer, wines and liquors, and by miscellaneous stamp taxes. Creates Tariff Commission. . In addition to the taxing provisions the bill would create a federal tariff commission, provide a protective tar iff on dyestuffs, and provide an anti dumping law to protect American manufacturers against foreign competition. The senate wrote into the bill a series of retaliator amendments, authorizing the president to use commercial weapons against nations dis criminating against American commerce. Opposition to legislation legalizing combinations of merchants and mau facturers for foreign trade, however forced administration leaders to abandon plans for adding this provision to the bill. With the end of the sessionln sight the legislative exodus from Washington began today. Scores of members of the house, confident that the last important vote had been taken, deserted the capital and started for home,, where political fences demand attention. House leaders had difficulty In keeping enough members in town to supply a quorum In case of an unexpected hitch In the adjournment plans The word "architest" Is said by the London Builder to have been used first in English in a book by John Shute, published In 1563.
