Food Specialist
SUGGESTION TO DR. SAR
GENT.
Dr. Sargent of Harvard Uni
versity, finding that the young
man who lived on the simpler
diet, excluding meat, etoadily
gained over hla brother who
lived on the mixed diet, doee not
admit that this teat la conclu
sive. He believe* that one can
have greater energy and aggres
siveness on a diet Including
fresh meat. Yet all such tests
have shown that the exclusion
of meat from the diet gives
greater physical endurance. It
would be instructive as well as
Interesting if Dr. Sargent would
arrange for such an experiment
to test the comparative value
of the simple diet in a trial of
both physical and mental endur
ance. I can furnish a man who
will undertake a strenuous In
tellectual and physical contest
for 30 days or longer, on a sln
fle article of food with water
only, If he will furnish one who
will eat what Is commonly re
garded as the best furnished by

1914 Pensions To
Be Paid Later
In checking the pension rolls up
for 1914,-it has been developed,
that the appropriation made for
the year 1014 is insufficient to pay
those pensioners heretofore paid,
now in life, and the new out-s ad
ded for 1014, all at the same time; !
Therefore, after biking the matter |
under advisement w ith the (Int er j
nor, it has been determined- that
those pensioners heretofore paid,
that are now in life, should be paid j
first out of the funds in hand, and j
those new ones approved and ad
ded re the rolls for 1914, must be j
omitted from the pay rolls for the
present, and held over until the
General assembly, to convene in
June next, can make the necessary
appropriation to pay them. The
only other recourse would be to
pro-rate all pensions, and for this
there is no law, and this would do
injustice to the most needy on the
rolls. Therefore, say Li all such
residing in your County, to be
patient and abide the time when
the appropiution can be make and
the money in hand to pay them;
For their pensions for 1011 will
surely lx: paid. They can rely
iijm.ii the honor of the .State* as a
isure guarantee for this payment,
and t hat it will lx: dune, just as
siK>n as the money is in band.
With lx*st wistes, I am,
Your friend.
