C. I* EXCESSIVE EATING. mse of High Price of Food Credited to Our Appetite. We knew it would come; somebody as sure to discover the fact and immer our heads with it. Prof, ilton Whitney, chief of the bureau J--1 XI X X suns, utJCiartw mat uie mtretioeu st of living is due simply to the ct that Americans are eating far ore than they did fifty years ago. is reasoning is, we gather, that ough our production of food is very eat, yet our national appetite has own faster still; because it tastes >od in the back of our mouths, we t at table, and eat and eat, and >rge and gorge and gorge. Thus, the supply is drained, and ) goes the price. The ultimate conimer should think more, work hard , and eat less. Only so shall he main fit to survive, and hence, to insume. But what about the man ho sells food products to the coniming appetite? He gets enough ofit so that he does not have to se hungry from the table; he is en able to accumulate enough in;sted capital to enable him to have ngerbread twice a week all the rest ' his life, if he choose. It is the Dn-selling, hard-eating, hard-work or brain-worker not employed in rectly commercial pursuits who inritably pays the freight. He eats io much; we have suspected it all ong; now Prof. Whitney has told 3, flatly. Well, it is worth something to have slodged the truth from its hiding? >t it into the open where it can be At And thfit old wheelhorse. the Itimate consumer, will have to pay, p doubt. Good enough for him, of >urse. His lack of worthy attributes as pointed out some time ago by lat eminent and ingenious econolist, Mr. Whidden Graham. He lid: "The ultimate consumer! Why louldn't he pay? What consideraon does he deserve? Nobody ever ade his living by being an ultimate pnsumer."?New York Sun. Are we a nation of gourmands? ; would seem so from the above, or every effect there is a cause, idigestion seems to be a national >mplaint. It is not confined to the rown-ups either; our young men id young ladies and even the tots >mplain of it. Let us put on our linking caps, and try to find out the tuse. In the olden times people lived mply and were not afflicted in this ay. Nowadays we twentieth-century >lks with our up-to-dateness must nprove upon the ways of our others and fathers; we must have a iriety of dishes each of which consts of many differen t ingredients, an we wonder that the stomach patient and long-suffering though it ) revolts at the herculean tasks im>sed upon it? Nature teaches us to ?e things in moderation if we wish ? live long and happily. We should 5 temperate in all things, not only i drinking but in dressing and eatg as well. Then and then only will e be a healthy, happy people, atti, the great singer, when asked le secret of her youthful looks and jelings even in old age, replied, By being temperate in all things." Let us consider another cause of igh priced meat: For several years ist the South has lost thousand of pilars of meat. The weather has sen acting in a most peculiar mansr, for three or four days it would 5 very cold, then it would turn quite arm almost deluding you into the 3lief that summer had returned, his year we have had steady cold, ?gular old-fashioned winter weath , and as natural consequence there no spoilt meat. Do we appreciate lis? Does it draw us nearer to the river of all these blessings? Let 5 not forget that "every perfect gift jmeth from above." Another cause: For many years ame has been plentiful. As the )untry becomes more densely popuited, game gradually becomes more :arce. Still another cause: Mr. Editor, 1. 1_ T VavA ur peopie ciriiiK, or i buuuiu u.??<lid, have been drinking a lot of hiskey. Usually this creates an bnormal appetite for meat. Whisey drinkers cannot eat sweets and sually make up for it by an inreased amount of meat. So this, robably, has had some effect in raislg the price of meat. Let our men ?e the mistake they have been makig, and for the sake of economy, if ot for the sake of decency, let this rink habit become a relic of the ast. I notice not only our women, ut even the men have great respect >r the fashion. Let drinking be unishionable and it will soon become bsolete.

The whole project < calls for $350,000 to be expended in ] three years, but the rivers and har- ] bors committee in making up its bill j has adopted the principle of appro- : priating only enough on each of the projects to carry on the work for one year. Their idea is to force congress to pass a rivers and harbors bill at each session. Mr. Ellerbe, who is a member of the committee, wrote Mr. Rhett to learn the least amount ac- ' tually required for one year. Both Mr. Legare and Mr. Ellerbe will put forward their best efforts to get the , $150,000 in the bill. i SPECIAL NOTICES. ! Advertisements Under This Head 25c. 1 For 25 Words or Less.

When the steamer Phyllis recenty arrived at the Panama canal zone. ler cargo is said to have received . ^ iven more respectful attention than hat of the steamer that shortly be* ' 0 ore arrived in Colon loaded to the ail with American congressmen. The Phyllis had aboafd 1,032,000 pounds it dynamite. Each of the 20,640 rases of fifty pounds each was picked " -rtjS lp from the hold by a man who pass* ~fM id it u"p on deck to another man, who, n turn, passed it up to a third by ivhom it was sent on a long skid and illowed to slide towards the dock. No ' ittempt was made at pitching the rases from one man to the other. Every wide-awake man was stationed it the end of the slide to prevent any ' \ rase coming his way from rendering v vjj him and the water front unrecog- fern aizable as a result of a hard bump \ against the dock. A portion was > ^ placed on a lighter for shipment to . *;; Porto Bello. The remainder was load* ^ ?d on a train of seventeen cars to be taken to various points along the .Iwi* Ine. Unlike the construction traina that run within sight of one another, the dynamite train entered naf block an the railway that was not free of trains and while it was in a block no Dther train could enter. The itineriry was so planned that the train of ^xplosiyes entered the Culebra cut at aoon, -When the laborers were at dinaer and the construction tracks nosatiated with the greatest care.
