An eminent medical nan says that a
great deal OF harm is constantly done to
the health of this and other communities
from excessive use of sweets. 1t produ-
ces too much fat for the health. 1t caus-
es indigestion, produces sour stomach,
causes headaches and chronic congestion
of the liver, is a great source of boils and
pimples. Fat is not indicative of health.
1t is a concomitant of a congested liver.
Sweets become sour between the teeth
and decay them.

The smallest and meanest piece OF
vandalism perpetrated around here for a
long time, was the saving off at the root
the wild grape vine that made such q
beautiful and pleasant harbor in front OF
Judge Chambers residence and business
room. The person who done the act
could be hired to fire the home of his
mother-in-law for a five cent drink OF
whisky! Mr.. Chambers would not have
lost the vine for $50. Its pleasant shade
will be very much missed this summer.

Mr.. Lakes bondsmen are "kicking''
and will make an effort to skin out paying
the amount of his embezzlement. They
have employed counsel for the fight.
Of course the sum spread all over the

payer, but if the bond of Mr.. Lake for
the honest and faithful discharge of his
official trust was only straw, what about
our other County officials? We some
times think that it is not just the fair
thing for communities to ask individuals
to stand good for the men they put into
places of honor and trust.

Men who go around whining over the
prospect of West Alexandria getting the
Mackinaw railway, and declaring that
"Eaton is dead and ought to be fenced
in" are simply idiots, and should pack
their grip sacks and git out! Suppose
