*' AN IMPOSTOn o rniCK. The Cheerful Liar That Mao* a Fool of the Grand Monaroh. Louis XIV. wua taken in once in a most humiliating way and by an imposter whose only art was lying. In ICC 7, just after he had returned from one of hia most dazzling mili tary successes against the Dutch, Louis le Grand received word that an embassy from Persia had just landed at Marseilles en route to the l-'rench court to bring salutation* and presents from the shah, l’leasdl that his fame should actually have run around the world, he sent word that all the towns on the way from Marseilles to Paris should fete the ambassador. Asa result the journey to Paris was a march of triumph. Children sang and flowers were strewn along the way. Arrived at Paris, several regiments of the Swiss guard met the shah’s representative and es corted him to a magnificent suit in the old palace of the Tuilcrie*. Louis sent no less a person than the I)uc do Richelieu to welcome the potentate and invite him out to Versailles to a special reception in the hall of mirrors. The ambassador presented him self as Riza Bey of the Persian court, and after showing his cre dentials advanced to hiss the hand of Louis le Grand and give him the bhaii's congratulations on his re cent victories. A caravan of pres ents from his imperial sovereign were on their way and would ar rive in Paris in a few days, said the ambassador. Festivals followed at Versailles. The bey received magnificent pres ents from Louis and royal enter tainment. lie lounged gracefully on divans at the French court and smoked in Persian languor. He gave the grand inonarque a few fragments of opal and turquoise, saying that they came from n Per sian district bordering on the Cas pian sea. The woods there were full of them, he explained, and ho offered to divide with France —had planted the French flag there al ready, ns it were I At last the day came for the formal presentation of the shah’s gifts, and on that morning early Riza Bey melted into space, lie was never seen or heard of agnin. lie had, as someone said, “gone glim mering through the dream of things that were.” The gems that he had left were worth, if anything, about 15 cents apiece, being glass. —New York Tribune. A Cruel Jest. Samuel Rogers, the poet, resided with Lady Holland and amused himself by exacerbating her fears of illness and death. During the cholera epidemic l>ady Holland was a prey to indescribable terrors. She could think of nothing but precau tionary measures and on one occa sion was describing to Rogers all that she had done. She enumerated the remedies she had placed in the next room —the baths, the appara tus for fumigation, the blankets, the mustard plasters, the drugs of every sort. “You have forgotten the only thing that would be of any use,” observed Mr. Rogers. “And what is that?” “A coffin,” replied the poet. Lady Holland fainted.—“ Memoirs of the Duchesse de Dino.” A Bad Example For Train*. “A train leaves New York,” sup posed the teacher, “traveling forty miles an hour. It is followed thirty minutes later by a train traveling eighty miles an hour. At what point will the second train run into the first ?” The class seemed at a loss—that is, all except Willie Green, who was standing in the aisle vigorously wagging his hand. “Well, Willie?” said the teacher. “At the hind end of the rear car, ma’am,” answered Willie. —Wom- an’s Home Companion.

The fedeial department yesterday issue*l over the country a bulletin, some ex tracts from .t following: The anx- iety that has Ireen expressed in several quarters in regard to the effect upon human health of the present utbreak of the foot-and mouth disease is regarded by gov eminent authorities as somewhat exaggerated. The most common fear is that the milk supply might become contaminated, but in view of the precautions that the local authorities in the infected areas are very generally taking there is comparatively little danger of this. Milk of infected farms is not permitted to lie shipped at all. The only danger is, therefore, that before the disease has manifest it self some infected milk might reach the market. For this reasons, ex pertain the U. 8. department of Agriculture recommend pasteur ization. Cows affected with the malignant form oi the disease lose prsctic illy all of their milk. In mild cases, however, the decrease may be from one third to one half of the usual yield. The appeararaue of the milk also changes. It becomes thinner, bluish, and poor in fat. Men who come in contract with diseased animals may also become infected. In adult human beings the contagion causes such sy rap toms as sore mouths, painful swallowing, fever, and occasional ruptionson the hands, fingertips, ets. While causing considerable discomfort, however, the disease is rarely serious. The disease in shoit, h danger because of the Io)-s tint it occa sions to property, and not because of its effects upon the health of mankind. At present all infected herds are being alaughteied as soon as they are discovereu, carcasses buried and the premises thor oughly disinfected. Untill all danger (.1 infection has been re moved in this way, the local auth orities quarantine the milk. Those who wish additional prt. cautions are recommended to ust pasteurized milk, but as ha j al ready been s lid, this recomeuda tion holds true whether or not there is any fear of the not and mouth disease. Atlanta Journal. DIET AND HEALTH HINTS By DR. T. J. ALLEN Food Specialist CANCER RELATED TO CON SUMPTION. Dr. Dixon, commissioner of • health for the state of Pennsyl vania, working under the Crocker bequest for the investi gation of cancer at the Colum bia university, announces the discovery that cancer is closely related to consumption. This was maintained by the writer In a book on cancer published about three years ago and In a pamphlet on “Consumption, and Its Relation to Cancer” two years ago. And in these hints It has been suggested that the treatment must be fci ught to a nutritional basts, as in consump tion, whatever palliative treat ment may be discovered for the treatment of the cancer tumor, the local manifestation of the disease, which, the writer main tains, Is essentially constitu tional. Neither consumption nor cancer can develop in a system that Is maintained in normal condition by good nutrition, al though there is an hereditary predisposition to both, and either may appear in childhood, as a consequence, although cancer is rare under thirty-five.

DIET AND HEALTH HINTS By DB. L. J. ALLEN Food .Specialist DIET INSTEAD OF DRUGS. More than fifty years ago, an English physician. Dr. Bennatt, wrote: “Of all tha means of cure at our disposal, attention to the quantity and quality of the ingesta is by far th* most Influential.” Th* Importance of diet In health and disease did not entirely escape the attention of the older physicians. Even Hippocrates, th* father of medi cine, laid great stress on diet, his prescription for consump tion, particularly, being now es pecially noteworthy, on account of It* close approximation to the modern treatment of that dis ease “Go to the hills and drink goats’ milk.” Dr. Wiley ha* been reported In the newspapers as saying that “tha physician of th* future will uae diet Instead of drugs.” Dr. Osier has, In his latest work on medicine, classed diabetes, rheumatism and sev eral other diseases in the class of nutritional diseases, requir ing diet as their principal means of treatment. Diet la indicated In the treatmeit of nutritional diseases because they are caused directly by errors in diet, and It must follow that they can be prevented by proper diet.
