Plain Talk on Familiar sub
fecaa-

A bad taste in the mouth or q desire
to spit are unerring indications of dys-
pepsia. A person whose digestive or
Rans are In a healthful condition has q
clean taste In the mouth at all times,
with q perfectly sweet breath, and at
ter eating a meal of wholesome food
has no inclination to hawk and spit,
nor disposition 70 drink or chew some
thing for the purpose of getting rid of
the sour saliva which fills the throat
and mouth of the victim of in
digestion. Hundreds of people
who george themselves with
pancakes and molasses every
morning for breakfast, or feel aggrieV-
ed II they can't, every noon, cram q
chunk of pie atop of their dinners,
vauntingly boast of their freedom
from dyspepsia yet each and every
one of the deluded mortals Is anxious
after eating to get hold, as soon as
possible, of a cigar, a chew or tobacco,
II piece of candy, glass of water, a
nut, q bit of stick, or anything else
that will promote q flow OF saliva, and
partially counterfeit the unpleasant eff
fects of indigestion, by removing the
nasty, sour taste arising from the food
that lies indigested and fermentinR In
the stomachs.
Much of the drunkenness with which
our country is cursed has its origin In
the kitchen. The messes concocted
by the average American housewife,
and by courtesy called food, are enough
to derange any decent digestive appa-
ratus and q demoFalized stomach is
a much greater toe TO good intentions
and virtuous conduct than carnai and
unregenerate heart. In my Judgment,
the only temperance crusade that will
ever be permanent success must be
inaugurated and supported by high
er order of cooking. So long as our
wives, mothers and sisters are content
TO remain ignorant OF the best meth
DDS of making bread, cooking meat
and Vegetables, and preparing tea and
coffee, while Bridget runs the culinary
department., and endeavors TO deiraud
our stOmachs with badly prepared food
heavily veneered with cake, pie, pud-
ding, etc., shall not look very hope
FULLY for n decrease of intemperance.
A stomach free from indigestion,
which supplied with wholesome, we'll
cooked food at regular intervals, two or
three times day, demands nothing
between meals. IL performs its func-
lions properly after each meal, without
pain or trouble, and then like u tired in
tanL rests serenely till recuperated, or
until the system needs more nourish-
ment; while on the other hand, the
dyspeptic stomach Is In q morbid con-
di ion and continually Graves some
thing to appease the uncomtorta BILE
feeling that is indispensable. And
from candy, chewing gum, tobacco,
etc., the descent to ale, Iager-beer, and
whiskey, especially tor the male sex,
is not very difficult. Let US begin at
the rightend of the matter, and re-
move intemperance by removing the
cause that leads to it-badly prepared
food and It's Inevitable hand-ma aid dys-
pepsia.-Kansas Pioneer.

While girls unquestionably have

with young men, the studies which
constitute the curriculum of every re-

OF getting the janitor's COW into the
fourth story OF the dormitory. This
can be readily mastered by any young
man of good abilities and habits of in
dustry and perseverance; but between
girls and cows there Is great gulf FIX

suppose that the natural feminine fear
OF cows can be eredicated By the mere

that one of the very easiest OF college
