o TO Keep Well.
Iall's Journal of HEALTH

Hail journal OF he2lth.l
The remedy for summer diseases,
by whatever name, is: Eat less.
We do not mean that you shall
starve yourself, or deny yourself
what you like best, for, as a general
rule, what you like best is best for
you; you need not abandon the use
Of tea, or coffee, or meat, or any
thing else you like, but simply eat
less Of them. Do net starye your
self, do not reduce the quantity of
food to an amount which would
scarcely keep a chicken alive, but
make a beginning by not going to
the table at all, unless you feel hun
CRY; for if you once get there, you
will begin to taste this and that and
the other, by virtue of mustard or
syrup, or cake, or something nice.
Thus a fictitious appetite is walked
up, and before you know it you have
eaten a hearty meal. The second
step toward the effectual prevention
Of all summer complaints, and the
like, is: Diminish the amount Of
food consumed at each meal by one
fourth Of each article. II You have
taken two cups OF coffee or tea at a
meal, take a cup and a half; if you
have taken two biscuits or slices of
bread, take one and a half; if YOU
have taken two spoonfuls of rice, or
hominy, or cracked wheat, or grits,
or farina, take one land a half; if
you have taken a certain or uncer.
tain quantity Of meat, diminish it
by aquarter, and keep on diminish.
ing in proportion as the weather
becomes warmer, until you have no
unpleasant feeling of any kind after
your meals, and until you have not
eaten so much at one meal but that
when the next comes, you shall feel
decidedly hungry. ~ I9h.ol

j. Pillow is an applicant for the

Judge, to fill the vacancy o~ccasioned
by the death of Judge Emmons.
Certain Radicals who did no fight
ing while the war was going on
denounce General Pillows as a traitor
and protestagainsthi appointment.
We don't care a six-pence whether
Mr.. Hayes gives him the place or
not. He might do so without any
discredit TO his administration. 1t
is true Pillow was a soldier and a
general and a Southern man in the
late war. 1t is also true that he
was a soldier and a general in the
Mexican war. He led the most
desperate and daring charge that
was made at Oerro GordO, and
stayed in the very front OF the red
hot battle until the American Eagle
was placed in triumph upon the
palace of the Montezumas. These
little yelping fellows who never

The grasshopper question is one Of
the active questions of the day. 1t is
well known that The HERALD has held
to the theory that no real danger need
be apprehended, The following from
the State Ga.ette has a bearing, and
brings an added sense of safety to the
farmers
A few days ago we extracted an inter
esting item from the Nayasota Tablet to
the effect that the grasshoppers were
dying in large quantities in Grimes
county. The same thing has been
noticed in Washington county as re,
ported by the BRENNAN Banner. 1t
says: This induced Capt. T. c. Clay
one OF our most intelligent planters, to
make an anti-mortem examination of a
hopper. Every one. so examined
showed the presence of worm or chry.
sails, in process of transformation OF o
worm. Capt, Clay brought several to
this Office, where they were scientikcal-
ly dissected, and every one was found
TO have live worm, preying upon his
inwards, or chrysalis." 1t seems that
this worm is Matched out of an egg de.
posted on the grasshopper by small
gray fly. What this fly is, we have not
been able to ascertain. II would be
worthy the attention of the Entomolog-
ical Commission to investigate this mat.
ter, and solve the problem on scien.
tific basis.
