Then is eminent medical authority for (ho assertion that the body can get all the sugar it needs from fruit and grain.

The attorney general is our greatest discoverer of plots and our poorest dis coverer of plotters.

Uxerj time they plot there is the vigilant attorney general right on their heels wilh an e.xposiue. Hut he never puts any of the plotters in .in II. Whether it is revolution that the at torney general discovers or simply wholesale murder of officials, he tells it all lo the papeis and lets it go at that.

Since he began keeping close watch on the Iteds aud exposing them there has been no revolution and no wholesale murder of officials. - The government nt Washington still lives. We go to bed calmly at night, know ing that whatever the revolutionists are doing we shall rend all about it in the papers next morning. It nmkes good reading.
