FOOD IN SUMMER.
How Most People Worry Their Digestive
Organs In Hot Weather.

How Most People Worry Their Digestive
Organs In Hot Weather.
Many of us eat too much. We envy
the people who have large appetites,
but they are mistaken objects of envy.
They are the happier individuals whose
desires call for plain food and little
of it Had my own way would cut
up almost all the cookbooks, light the
fire with the pages that give recipes
for all manner of rich repasts, and re-
duce the culinary department to the
utmost possible simplicity. L would
send the frying-pan to the parlOr as an
ornament.
Growth and waste and repair go on
in nearly uniform way the whole
year through. But the amount of food
necessary for these operations of pur-
poses is surprisingly small. The gen.
Grafton of bodily heat requires most
variable quantity of food. In winter.
with the temperature of the external
air at zero, the temperature of the
blood in healthy persons. is 983';
and when the heat of summer
drives the mercury of the thermom-
eter near to or above that mark,
the blood still registers $3.50. The
marvellous mechanism by which this
uniform blood temperature is main
tanned at all seasons it is not necessary
to consider, but it must be evident to
every one that the force needed to
raise the temperature of the whole
body to nearly one hundred degrees in
winter is no longer needed in summer
The total amount OF food needed for
repair. for growth and for heating,
physiology teaches US. is much less
than is generally imagined, and it inn
presses us with the truth of the great
surgeon Abernethy's saying, that
''one-fourth of what we eat keeps US,
the other three-Eourths we keep at the
peril of our lives" In winter we burn
up the surplus food with a limited
amount of extra exertion. In summer
we get rid of it literally at some extra
risk to health and, of course. to life.
We can not burn it Our vital fur
naces are banked, and we worry thu
most important working organs. with
the extra exertion of removing what
would better never have been taken
into the stomach. Philadelphia Ledger.

CORN AND STOCK

Yankton Prcss-We do not need to 90
back much beyond the opening year Of
the sos to reach the time when the farm
ing populace of this section of Dakota,
discouraged and impoverish through
long series of seasons as gros ers Of wheat,
began 10 iurn their attention and efforts
to corn, hogs aud cattle Year after year
they had sown wheat and grown wheat.
Yet farmers became poorer and the mort
cages larger. BY the sweat of their brows
these sturdy delivers did not even earn
their bread. Business OF all kinds SYM
pathized with the failing condition of the
agriculturist and everything was at a low
ebb. II became evident that nature had
designed these fat lands for something
else than the production of the so-called
staff of life. Already the first experiments
IN corn growing had brought success be-
yond expectation and to corn they gave
their time and labor. After the intrsduc.
tion OF the new product came gradually
the development of the stock industry
and though progress w,s SLOW, because Of
the poverty OF the producers, each year
and its results demonstrated the wisdom
Of the change. Herds increased with
wonderful rapidity, and in time the hog
and steer asserted their dominion. Corn.
fields became numerous, the farmers herds
grew and multiplied on the native grasses
and fattened on the products of their
fields, and slwavs found ready market at
large profits. The once poverty stricken
farmer experienced the ease which plenty
Of cash brings and the mortgage diminish
ed as IL had increased under the old
regime. Improvements followed in build
ings, in fences, in methods of farming
and IN mode of life. Business revived
under the impulse and the full tide OF
prosperity came. Thus. in ten years, un-
der the dispensstion OF King Corn. has
prosperity come where poverty and dis
ceuragem.nt once reigned. 1t is enough
to say in behalf of the adapt.bility OF
climatic and soil conditions to the pro-
duction Of corn in this region that in the
ten years devoted to it's culture, in yearly
increasing ratio, there has not been q sin.
gle failure in the crop, or anything ap-
preaching q failure. Each season has
brought an abundant yield. Through
dry seasons and in vet seasons there has
been little variation in quantity and quail
ty. So We 20 on year by year raising corn
and cattle and hogs and becoming richer
as time gathers its fragments into the
past. For this section the period Of ex-
pertinent is over.

"Old Hickory's" Tender Heart.

Let me tell you a fact TO make you sensi-
bic OF the deep rooted, affectionate at
tachment of which the rough bosom OF a
war worn veteran is susceptible. Earl
n few days ago received from the Hermit
age Mrs Jackson's portrait. He did not
intend that the president should see IL,
but he stepped in by accident when Earl
was copying from IL. He stood and gazed
ut 1t for few moments with some forti-
tude until, as the association arose In his
mind, he began to weep, and his sobs be-
came so deep that Earl carried the picture
away to relieve him.
He has Bible In which q great many
favorite passages were marked by his
wife One Of these he reads every morn
ing religionsly.
This is devotion, but whether it be Of
the right kind leave you to Judge.
He and were sitting one day
alone on the sofa, and l alluded In some
way to his attachment for the little
Rachel He said she was the solace Of
his waning life, and that the father (his
adopted son, had been nursed on the
bosom Of Mrs. jackson. She felt for him
all the tenderness Of q mother, that she
parted with him, even to 90 TO Nashville
to school, with reluctance, and looked for
the returning Saturday with more anxiety
than the boy himself.
He paused q few minutes, Illuminating,
and with his eyes suffused in tears said
'Mr. Blair, she was one Of the best OF
women, and IL Is gratifying TO me that II

objects which, II she lived, would have

The Farmers Alliance is having
wonderful growth in Dakota and at their
recent convention is developed that they
are accomplishing some practical results
that are beneficial to the farmer. Here
tofore all kindred organizations have
fallen into disrepute because Of allowing
their affairs to fall into the hands Of poll
tieians. judging from the personnel of
some Of those who took, apparently,
very jealous part in the late Huron AL
nance convention. poii icians are already
in the fold and if the Alliance does not
use curb bit on them they will be riding
to political preferment on the old 'friend-
of-the. farmer chestnut. Among other
business accomplishments In legitimate
alliance work aside from those already
