There was hardly a speech made In the house that did not call forth from him some bright remark. The other democrat came from an uptown district. He was more of a worker and less of a hand at the game of repartee. These two democrats hated each other for some: reason or other, probably because each was jealous of the others peculiar talents. One day Jack Robinson was making one of his usually vigorous speeches, and in the course of his marks, he wound up a sentence with 'Vox populi; vox Dei. As he uttered this familiar quotation the uptown democrat turned to his rival and exclaimed: Say, youre so blamed smart, I bet you $10 you dont know what Vox populi, voY Dei means. Oile take yez, was the answer. After the speech the quick two walked out together, and the said: Now, come, what did that quotation mean?

"We eat altogether too much meat, anyway, said Dr. Cyrus Edison, the health commissioner of New York the other day. I venture to say that most of the ills we are heir to come from labitual eating of too much beef. If he present era of high prices of beef will only compel people to choose other oods, such as fish or a greater variety of vegetables, the beef combine as it s called, will have been the unconscious instrument of doing a vast amount of good. Fish is much better food for city people than flesh raised on land. It does not contain as great ts proportion of those stimulative that do so much to produce nervousness, indigestion, constipation and ;he host of attendant disorders to the luman body for which the medical profession is so continually called upon to prescribe. Wage workers who earn their living by physical exertion farm aborers, shovelers, ditch diggers, etc. require solid foods hch as beef and ork, but men and women who take little exercise, whose employment is sedentary, calling lor no continual physical strain, fish Is eminently more satisfactory as a regular diet. Fish is he coming food. Long after our. land ias been denuded of those properties ;hat nourish animal life In the field, the waters of the deep will he teeming with fish. The scientific culture of carp ias shown conclusively that one acre of water will produce more edible and wholesome flesh 'than three- - acrc3of and, and 'some of these days we will awaken to the importance of preserving our land sustained animals by the systematic and methodical cultivation bf our fish. As to the quantity of meat kata man really needs the people seem to be ignorant. The United States government allows the soldiers but of a pound of meat a How day. many New Yorkers, do you suppose, get along with so small a ration of meat? The government, hrough its physicians, has learned that soldiers, even on the march, do better on that seemingly small allowance than if they were permitted to gorge themselves indiscriminately on ;he flesh of steers and sheep. New York city allows its hospital patients but one pound of meat a day, and that pound is untrimmed. When cooked and ready :o be eaten that pound represents really less tlan the army ration for able bodied men. The average energetic, well-fe- d New Yorker consumes from one and a half to three pounds of meat every day that he Is able to eat. It is altogether too much. No wonder that nature rebels frequently and Insists that the man live on gruel for whole days at a time. That Is natures own recourse. 'Thats when a man is sick when he cant eat meat. f DIDN'T THINK HE KNEW IT. ner note I Universal feed sewing mashoe. chine doe all it work Inside of Two door north of Union, Main St., LejhL Ma new style.
