THE MUsH AND MILK CURE.
4 Sensible Remedy for stomach Coma
plants, Debility and Nervousness


a Sensible Remedy for stomach Conn
plants, Debility and Nervousness.
Professor Dan de guile, of the Vir-
ginia Enterprise, says a number of
persons in Virginia are eating mush
and milk-the diet of childhood
days-as a cure for nervousness, de-
bilIty and the like, and find 1t far su-
perior to beef tea. The Professor,
who is not an advocate of any par
ticular school of medicine. and relies
mainly on common II principles
for etiecting cures, states the follow
ing as The result of extended observa-
tons: Half those troubled with
sleeplessness will find that by making
a good square meal of mush and milk
before going to bed they will sleep
..like a top'' AT first they may only
be- able to eat a few s%poonfuls, but i'll
a few days they will be able and will
ing to stuff themselves as in the days
of childhood, and will suffer no incon-
v%enienee from so doing. An empty
stomach keeps more people awake
Ethan Il full one. Children, pigs, In
dams and nearly all animals and hui
man beings whose digestive organs
are unimpared are ready TO go to
sleep the moment they have eaten a
hearty meal. Some may have such
bad stomachs as not to be able to eat
even mush and milk on going to bed,
therefore, they must first eat il III the
morning. s'Crushed Indian is pre-
ferred by many 10 the common corn
meal, and it is equally good and
strengthening. The main thing is TO
properly cook the mush. Not one
cook in a dozen knows how, OF know
ing, will do it. When the meal is
stirred into the water it should be SO
spriukled that the water never stops
boiling, and it should be cooked from
two to three hours. In the start 1t
should not be much thinner than CRU
| ell. and should not be thick and stiff
when done. Some who were sick
and feeble have become SO fat and
hearty that their frieA Is are astonlsh-
ed, and all III the course of a few
weeks. Corn cakes for breakfast
will help out; also fried mush, and
now and then corn bread for dinner.
Half the people on the Pacific Coast
OF middle age were raised on mush
and corn bread in some of the Vest
err or Southern States. Here not
half as much corn is used by any one
as should beeeaten. Corn is the great
native bread grain of America, and the
climate r. qniIe That 1t should
be eaten. On the Pacific Coast are n

who do o know what ais them.
All they want is corn. They must
turn over u uietetic Leaf and go back
to the grub nf the days Of their
childhood. when. btfore climbing the
ladder to their beds, they stuffed with
mush TIL they were in moderate pain.

All. Doten writes from Austin to the
Virginia City Enterprise that it Is ru-
mored that ex. Congressman Wren, OF
Eureka, wants to be United States
Senator in place of John p. Jones, and

hike Cassidy's place in Congress; also
that Fred Hart, formerly ofthe Enter

along the railroad months ago, says
the Silver State.

Chronicle, used by every man, wom-

necessary to their comfort. See how
tenderly they are cared for by the
tariff. The wonder is that such "A sys-

to remain M day. The first three
articles on tho above list are wooden
fabrics, upon some Of which We pay,
as shown above 81 % for what would
only cost "A dollar without the protec

not yet high enough. The rich wool
growers of the country demand an i'll
crease, and the idiotic platform of the
Republican party OF Nevada loudly
declares in favor OF raising the wool
tariff.

1T is in the power given by law to

the General. The soil of Montana
produces threefold when properly
irrigated. Knowing this the Legisla-
ture, desiring to encourage agriculture,
enacted law with the preamble that
whoever made the soil more productive
was public benefactor. They then
proceeded to give the irrigators extra
ordinary powers, Any one desiring to
build an irrigating ditch can run it
through your house, if it suits him He
may exercise the right of eminent
domain over any one but the owner of
another ditch. He can't cross another
line. Added to this is the fact that the
charter runs forever and the charge
for irrigation thus becomes a purpetual
