''Be careful how you eat oatmeal, -
said a doctor recently to reporter.
Oatmeal is very healthy food if taken

'How should it he eaten?"
IF oatmeal is eaten in excess of fhe
needs of the body for proper nutrition it
overloads and taxes the system. 1t must
not be eaten partially cooked. Flour,
corn meal. rice and other approved
articles of wholesome diet are not healthy
if half cooked If an excess of sugar or
other sweets is used it will disagree with
many people, causing indigestion. If
eaten with an excess of cream il will not
be healthy for some persons whose
stonacls are too delicate to stand rich

THE COW BOY BAND.

A brief reference to this organization
which has done so much to make Dodge
City famous, may well find a place in
this issue of the TINES The Cow Boy
band was organized in 1881, under the
leadership of Mr. c. NJ Becson 1t is
a chartered organization, comprising
twenty members, and has made for itself
a worldwide reputation. As musical
organization it is second to none in the
west, and their peculiar uniform and fine
music has rendered them objects of in
terest wherever they have appeared.
They have been overwhelmed with offers
for engagements in all quarters of the
country, but as the members are engaged
in other business they only accept such
as afford them pleasant vacations.
They have gone to St. Louis several
times; to Minneapolis, St. Paul and
Chicago. They played weeks engage
ment at the opening of the Kansas City
Exposition last fall, and attended the in
auguration of Gov. Adams at Denver.
Buffalo Bill made them very tempting
offer to accompany his Wild West show
in its present trip around the world, and
many other profitable engagements have
been offered them.
Their uniform is the regular monde
script cowboy dress including cartridge
belt and pistol. and in appearance they
resemble the veritable cowboy just off the
range. In fact some of them have spent
part of their lives in this manner.
Beeson's orchestra of nine pieces, is
drawn from the band, and is confesedly
one of the best Orchestras in the west.
