Apart from their healthful influence upon the system, prunes and raisins are valuable for the en trgy stored in them. For the person who works, whether with brain or with body, the great value of prunes should be apparent, S8ys an article issued by the California promotion committee. Both possess greater fuel value than the oyster, which is properly considered one of the most valuable of foods. Fif teen analyses-of the edible portion of prunes (dried) gave an average fuel value per pound of 14(H) calor ies. The ingredients of these prunes were as fol lows: Water, 22.3 per cent, protein 2.1 per cent, total carbohyJrates including fibre 73.3 per cent, ash (mineral matters) 2,3 per cent, total 100 per cent. Thirty-four analyses of oysters (in shell) gave a fuel value per pound of 233 calories. These oysters were made up of the following percentage: Water 86.9 per cent, protein 6.2 per cent, total carbohydrates 3.T per cent, mineral matters 2 per cent, total 100 per cent. This comparison might seem unfair inas much as oysters (in shell) contain on the aver age 86.9 per cent of water as compared with dried prunes whieh contained 22.3 per cent of water. How ever, twenty-four alayses of fresh prunes (not dried or cured) showed that while they contained 79.6 per eent of water their fuel value per pound was 370 calories as against the 235 calories per pound of the ysters analyzed. The percentage of matter which made us these fresh prunes was as follows: Water 79.6 per cent, protein 9 per eent, total carbohydrates including fibre 18.9 per eent, mineral matters 6 per eent, total 100 per cent. . Raisins were found to contain greater fuel a!ue than dried prunes. Three analyses ot raisins gave an average of 1605 calories per pound. These an alyses showed the raisins to be made up of the follow ing percentages : Water 14.6 per cent, protein 2.6 per cent, fat 3.3 per cent, total carbohydrates includ ing fibre 76.1 per cent, ash or mineral matter 3.4 per cent, total 100 per cent. i Calories may be not incorrectly described as fuel units. These are units of heat which are furnished the body in the assimilation of the oysters, prunes and raisins mentioned, or of other foods. The tech nical definition of a calorie is the quantity of hen necessary to raise the temperature of one kiV-TMin of water of 0 to 1 degree centigrade. It will be noticed that prunes and raisins being a vegetable food are not as rich in proteids (called protein in the percentage analyses given above) as are oysters which are "animal" food, but their fuel value is far greater than that of oysters which have been select ed as a delicious dish and one highly esteemed for its nutritiousness. her 24. Dr. Robert E. Coughlin, of Brooklyn, N. Y comes to the following eonolushuis , "The prime object of athletics is iniproveint'Mt of the general health. One writer has sa!! that health, like happiness, does not exist Each lias a goal or limit, whieh, while Keemingly attainable eludes perfect pvssossion. He said the body consists of a number of mechanisms which have the closest and most exact relations, and as they are approxi mate to harmony there is health, but when disorder ed there is ill-health. To obtain good health, muscle building is not a necessity. One cannot judge of a person's health by the size and hardness of his muscles. We have seen that the converse may W true. To obtain health one must not be in a per fectly trained condition, owing to the effects of se vere training on the nervous system. There is no evidence to prove that athletics and muscle-building improve the constitution. One should always keep iu mind that built-up or hypertrophied muscle has tendency to degenerate. The heart, being a muscu lar organ, shares in this tendency. Although the evidence for and against athletics ia contradic tory, the whole subject may be summed by stating that athletics are beneficial when properly and ju diciously applied, and very injurious when the pre cautions above mentioned are ignored or carelessly regarded." 0000006)0S0O0$0OO00IO Swell Togs For Men.

He laid himself down and was buried alive. The general, who heard of it af terward, said to the soldiers: "lie must have suf fered terribly."

She has not yet caught the revolution habit a disease very prevalent among South American re publics. The Baltic fleet would be more anxious to reach Port Arthur if it were better informed as to the probable personnel of the reception committee. The price of wool is steadily advancing, and Wall street can probably figure it out as due to the re markable shortage of the lamb crop. VEGETABLE DIET AND THE CENSUS. The census shows that Americans are becoming addicted to less meat and more vegetable?, Ct.rvnls and products of the dairy. It is figured out that in 1850 a hundred Americans ate 94 sheep, 118 hogi and 25 beeves, whereas, in 1900, they consumed but 50 sheep, 43 hogs and 20 beeves. Cheese has declin ed, but if eggs and poultry are included with butter and milk as belonging to the dairy class, the cou aumption of that kind of food is three times win it was forty years ago. The total use of meat, nek lined by the price, is reduced by 36 per cent. In 1850 one hundred persons ate 430 bushels of wheat and 90 bushels of oats. In 1890 they ate 623 bushels of wheat and 386 bushels of oats, and in 1890 the break fast food movement was small to what it is today. Corn and potatoes have increased about like wheat. The general gain in vegetable expense is 80 per cent. 31eat still leads, however, although it apparently will not do so long. We spent in 1900 $1,625,000,000 for meat and $1,075,000,000 for vegetable diet. Among meats beef leads, by a long distance, with sheep second and eggs third. Americans have grown healthier in the half century which has seen this change, probably, however, on account of more air and exercise and better cooking and sanitation. The general question of the best relation of meat to vege table diet is one on which the medical world is far from concord. It is about time that a reward was offered for "the handmaiden of protection," who used to be so popular in campaign years. There is no use trying to convince the man out of employment that the money question was not an issue in the 'campaign. "What is the difference between Cuba and the Philippins?" recently asked a democratic orator. About 7000 miles. The world will have its eighth wonder when a negro is discovered marching in the other direction from a brass band.

Port Arthur would like it better if she could get provisions and men instead of encouraging words by wireless. ' The Poles can not understand why they should enlist to fight Russia's battles. Nor can others. USE AND ABUSE AF ATHLETICS.

It is believed the Russians are about to carry out their promise to evacuate Manchuria. The Baltic fleet is evidently trying to establish a reputation as a balky fleet. . The Russian Baltic fleet will get there just in time to pick up the survivors. THRICE HAPPY KANSAS. Ha Paid Her Debtt, 8la.pt W.ll and Gooi. Hangs High. Kansas la called excitable but he la aa calm aa a banket of chip this year. Not a wave of trouble rolls across her peaceful breast, anya the Emporia (Kaa.) Dinette. Eight years ago people were flocking Into ihe Oaiette, stopping the paper. T. O. Wlbley stopped It three times In that campaign. But this year he la raking the paper Insldes and topa and nil without so much as a yip of dUup proval. And when Wlbli. la satis fied the world Is soak1 In goos and la smootn all over. Elgnt year ago the populiats were going to reform the world at the next meeting of the legis lature and were carrying banners up and down the streets denouncing Wall street, waving flag at the octopus and shaking sticks at the goldbugs. These were hot happy and rambunctious days. A man could start a riot b reading the alphabet In a loud tore, produce a revolution by recklnf the multiplication table In a dramatic manner, and get six months In the hospital by declaring for either of the ten commandments against the Chi cago platform. 4 But now Kansas Is ns Idle as a painted turtle on a plaster parls log; placid as a hired man asleep under a hedge fence and happy a a big tun flower that nods In all the breezes. The reason It that Kansat hat paid her debtt, hat money In th. bank, a clear conscience, and "an organ in the parlor to give th. place a tone."
