should come before the Chamber after
the vote has been decided not for pur-

themselves may have the opportunity to

of those who oppose the proposed site,

a nearly Appetite.

"Be careful what you eat" say our health
advisers. This is all right enough, for the
animal diet in warm weather heats the blood,
tends to headaches, and is generally un-
wholesome, unless sparingly used. On the
other hand, fresh vegetables, berries, fruit
and bread are cooling, corrective, and what
the palate most Graves. Do not be afraid to-
60 without meat for month Or SO, and, if
you like, live on purely vegetable regimen.
You will lose no more strength than is COM
mon to the time, and you will not suffer
from protracted heat, as when dining on the
regulation roast. Many persons regard
hearty desire for food as something unrefned,
indelicate, and to be constantly discouraged.
But that is all nonsense. 1t is just as neces-
sary for the man who works only with his
brain to eat beef and mutton, as for the man
who labors solely with his hands. The
stomach and the brain are twins, the former
being the elder and having prior right to-,
care. Let that be well provided for, and it;
will sustain its brother. The people who,
strive to check wholesome and natural ap-
petite are the people who regard dinner
merely as feed, and not the centre of an
agreeable social custom, and as the domestic
event Of the day. We are sorry for thern :,
as they must regard eating as prosaic duty
obligatory on them because they have bias
in favor of living. We all know that we
must eat to live; but by no means live to
eat simply because we enjoy what we eat
We are not gourmands because we relish
chops, nor are we inraids because we want
strawberries. A good appetite is good
thing, but not if it is to be worried by urg-
ing or neglect.

RECONCILE ED.

Tonight my darling said to me,
Her blight eyes glancing shyly down,
"Forgive me, dear, that DER reach,
Or even seem to pass the bound
OF perfect trrst-but tell me true,
IT," placing both her hands in mine,
'Some dire ntsVap should chance to mar
This face you ofttimes call divine
"Some stroke Of harm sharp smite and spoil
This girlsh form, these lightsome ways;
Or sickness rob my checks of bloom,
Or blindness blot The passing days.
II all were gone-e'en youth and strength"
Deep grew the shadow on her brow
"Answer from out your heart of hearts,
Say, would you love Inc then as now?"
With gentle force gravely laid
The sunny head upon my breast
Noting, meanwhile, the sigh that gave
Sure token of her sad unrest.
"Strange questioning this, sweet" l cried;
"Wrong, wrong to thus perplex and dim
The finer feelings of the mind
To jar by such an idle whim
Cloves confidence" This my reply
The pale face lit with eager glow
"a soul that in another finds
Each hope, each purpose blend and flow
Responsive, ne'er, though ill betide,
Proves false. Affiction's bitter blast
But firmer binds, charm creates
Unfading to the very last"
I ceased-then sudden felt the clasp
OF two white arms my neck about
While two lips murmured, faint and low,
"Pardon-forget my foolish doubt"
Dear child Dear, loving little pet!
How could choose but kiss, and say,
"My own God grant thus easy we
May end all griefs through life's brief dayp

THE report of the Board of Public
Works and Sinking Fund Investigating
Committee on the Southern Railroad
expenditures, published in the Enquirer
this morning, is an interesting document
to the tax payers of this city. 1t shows
that an error of the Trustees in single
item of interest cost $2,255,764 So, and
that SO, 321, , 1926 80 were paid on contracts
above the original estimate. These are
but two of the many costly errors of the
Trustees, and many Others of less amounts
are shown. The report is signed by Jas.
P. Kilbreth, Frederick J. Mayer and
Chas. w. Rowland. 1t is the result of
nearly years work, but it will prove a
good years work for the tax payers Of

ed. But if the members of the Chamber
sail decide to ratify the action of the
Beard and place the new building on the
corner of Fourth and Elm streets there
should be no quibbling, but each one
should go to work and lend a helping
hand towards pushing the work along. We

A GENERAL strike of the employees of
the Midland (England) Railway has been
in progress for some time, and has at
tracted considerable attention. The
London Times has careful review of
the trouble between the men and the
company, and put the blame mainly on
the latter. Some queer statements are
made in the article, one of which is that
the strike was purposely brought on by
officers of the road for stock jobbing pur-
poses. In this connection the article
says: "1t can not be doubted that there
is a considerable amount of gambling
speculation at the bottom of the present
movement, but it is hard on the men that
they should be made the victims of stale
Stock Exchange maneuvres."
