Sigsbee if the popular version of
Anthony's speech was correct. He said
it was, but that Anthony did not
salute him as was generally told, nor
preface his speech with "J beg to re
port, sir." We bumped into each other
in the dark, Sigsbee said, and if he
had saluted and spoken with that
formality, he would have been think
ing ot himself and of making an effect,
and not cf his duty. What he really
said and did is better without any of
the advantages which came later.

most often left-handed. The right
hand Is controlled from the left side of

right side. Speech is controlled by
the right side of the brain. The over
davelopment of one hand or th) other
is thought in this, way to affect

ADVOCATES RAW FOOD.
Will Establish Restaurants Where
No
Cooked Food Is Served.
Prof. Byron Tyler, the raw-food ad
vocate, is going to establish a number
of restaurants in Chicago.
"I do not expect to make any money
out of these eating nlaces,"said the
professor, "but hope the novelty of the
meals will attract people who, after
thev have learned the value of food
as it is prepared by nature, will eat
none but raw food in their own homes.
Raw food is a sure cure for dyspepsia.
My first restaurant is to be located in
La Salle street near the board of
trade. I chose that location because
the men in that vicinitv, owing, to the
exciting life they lead, usually are
dyspeptic and nervous. I know that
it l can persuade them to eat
food ' they will forget they
stomachs and nerves."
Here is a dinner bill:
Oysters on the Shell.
Celery. Radishes. Olives.
Clam Juice.
Steak a la Tyler.
Cold Slaw. Waldorf Salad.'
Cheese. Nuts. Raisins.
Pressed Wheat Crackers.
Figs. Oranges.
Nothing on this bill is Hnnknd.
raw
have
The
steak is prepared like Hamburger, be
ing chopped fane and mixed with
minced celery and onions. The
crackers are made of cracked wheat,
mixed with a little milk and pressed
hard.
One of Prof. Tyler's favorite dishes
is made of cracked wheat, mixed with
chopped almonds and walnuts. This
may be eaten with cream, and in this
form is either a breakfast food or a
pudding. Eggs are broken into a cup,
well beaten and seasoned to suit taste.
Prof. Tyler eats no meat himself, but
believes it is beneficial to some per
sons. ,
Prof. Tyler was a physical wreck
when he began eating raw food. Now
he has robust health. His theory is
that if a seed cannot grow after being
boiled or baked it is valueless for
food..
Another Cure for Consmption.
Professor Weinzirt, of the university
of New Mexico.conducting experiments
under the university biological depart
ment," has devolved what he pronounces
a complete cure for consumption. By
careful testing, he announces, he has
determined that the transitory effects
upon the blood corpuscles of a person
passing from a lowe? to a higher alti
tude are renewed by irequent changes
of altitude. By occasional visits to
the sea level, the system can be
reinvigorated, even when the effects of
the higher altitudes have been worn
off.

"I havn't got either knife or gun on
me."
