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.

Money Needed for Charleston. <
Washington, January 24.?Repre- 1
sentative Ellerbe to-day received a 1
dispatch from Mayor Rbett of \
Charleston stating that, in the opin- t
ion of army engineer, $150,000 would \
he necessary to carrv on for one year <
the work of giving Charleston harbor i
30 feet of water. 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

rWO NEGRO CHILDREN PERISH.
Iome of Colored Farmer in Florence
Reduced to Ashes.
Florence, January 24.?The dwellng
house of James Richardson, aa
ndustrious colored farmer, who livee
n the plantation of Mr. R. E. Curin,
about three miles North of the

tichardson's children, both boys, on#
our and the other five years, were
>urned to death In the building.
tichardson, his wife and two of the
- - -
leighbors were sitting in the front
>art of the house'and heard one of
he children crying that the house
vas on fire. When he investigated
he matter he found the back portion
>f the house in flames. He made a
lesperate attempt to save the chiliren
and was badly burned about
he head and face in doing so, but his j i
:fforts were of no avail.
In addition to the loss of his two
jhildren, dwelling and household
jffects, Richardson lost $125 in cold

Shipload of Dynamite.
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.
