It is mest extraordinary, And more’s the pity! . Tt may be doubted if one person in a hundred remembers when such action was taken before or even knows that it is law But most interminable delay of al the what everybody does readily recall is dozens of cases in the courts, in attempts to wear plaintiffs out; and what everybody knows is that incaloulable in justice is thus done. The great corporations “buy their law by the year” and can af ford to exhaust the almost Infinite possibilities of delay, not only in , hope of exhausting the patience and the resources of plaintiffs, but also in hop as possible.

Not very many people know how to eat. In pioneer American days it was not necessary to know. Frontieramen, after chopping ‘wood or shooting Indians all day, had an appetite and power of di- gestion which could trifle with anything capable of being swal- lewed. The second generation, the children of these frontiersmen, igherited a splendid internal mechanism, But now we are getting fgto the third and fourth generations, and it is really time we Jearned the gentle art of eating, not only for the sake of enjoyment, bat for tolerable health, From bad digestion comes an endless train ta Hh \) of iis.

It is not necessary to deprive any- @me of the joys of the table. The whole secret is to win the Amer- @an people away the honored _—_roast-beef-and-mashed-potato Superstition, and to tell them that the world also produces things which may and should be eaten. Variety in food is the enomy of indigestion. No man or woman should ever think of eating either lunch or dinner without at least four things upon the table, one of which should always be fruit or talad. If beet is one of the dishes there should be just so much more glad or fruit to balance It. Applies and oranges are the best of the common fruits; any fresh green stuff, with oll and vinegar, good nalad. Just as a cat or dog will eat grass to cure distemper, so do hu- man being require green things and acida to offset the heavy stuff which the average table offers. More than this, the man who always at home or tn a restaurant Sticks to beef.and potatoes shows poverty of ideas aa well as missing one of the real and legitimate joys of life, Let him search the markets and menus for new things to eat, so that he may properly supply ALL the needed elements, and not just a few of them, for the chem- istry of digestion. And he will escape the doctors and arrive at a merry and well-nourished old age. other makes A Large Sized Wedding That wedding in which Miss Alice Roosevelt proposes ticipate in company with Nicholas Longworth, promises to be a most bulky affalr. Baker City, Ore., has threatened to start an $800, 888 subscription to buy the bride a wedding present, which, judging from its cost, might be of stupendous size, while miners in Ponnsy! vania have already announced that they propose to ship an entire ¢arload of coal to the wedding, as a gift of esteem. It is more than Mkely that carloads of stuft from Oh{o, the home of Nicholas, will ar- rive, and possibly Texan will contribute wild bronchos and long- horned cattle, out of admiration for the daughter of a most popular father. When all of the states and territories of the union have poured their gifts into cars and the long trains arrive in Washington, tt will be up to the parents of the bride to provide adequate storage facilities for the presents, so that there will be space somewhere for tho happy couple to stand and get married, to par- or twenty-five gents per month, | wh Re i WITH STAR READERS ace To the Editor: 1 am quite inter- FORA tATTLE STAR—SATURDAY, D KER BILL CREATES 14 LION RY.

With this feeling predominant, it was naturally inclined to prance around and kick up showers of dirt and grass with its iron shod heels.
