active disease, impaired vigcr, and shortened
life, arises from erroneous habits in eating
than from the occasional use Of alcoholic
drink, great as he knows the evil Of 1t to be.
Sir Henry does not think II q bad sign that
the appetite should diminish as age increases;
and he deprecates any attempts by stimu-
lants or tones or concentrated foods TO ''im-
prove" the appetite in such cases. As NO in
crease in age we put forth less energy and
activity, and as a consequence We have less
power to eliminate excess OF food Tho
scientific view Of the case Is simple enough
to be popularity Compensated The over
supply Of nutrition must be thrown of or
absorbed into the system. With the young
the surplus is got rid Of by active work or
exercise, but even in tender years it makes
its presence felt In occasional sickness. From
about middle life onward tt is packed away
In the form Of fat; and Il may make its
presence known by interfering with the
action of the liver, by rheumatic attacks and
obscure and troublesome diseases
While condemning excess generally, Sir
Henry Thompson holds, with C@naro, that
from middle life onward persons who would
have health and long life go together must
conform to nature and reduce the daily sup
ply of food When 70 is reached it b more
than ever necessary, be tells u, that this
Should be done; and in the same way. At 50
With less activity, there must be less support.
Il this course be followed. g right goo,l and
happy and even useful old ase may te en-
joyed; providing Of course, there is Ed in
herited faint to be combated and accidents
do not come in the way. The difficulty in
such q case Is that man wants to be saved
from friends and relatives who are apt +, re-
gard q lessening appetite with alarm, and
seek by endearments. and when these faillby
threats and also by supersdtious means, to
force the palate beyond It's natural require
ments. Plain and frugal fare, then, would
seem to be the essential condition not only Of
prolonged but Of happy existence; and the
ancient maxim remains q guiding principle
to the race, that imam must eat to live, not
live to eat "-Leeds Mercury.

From Saturdays Echo:

Turn Them Loose.

Not long ago the city council passed
an ordinance providing for board of
health for the city. The need of such
a board is seen every year, and along
about this time their aid is becoming
necessary. The warm, summer-sun
nurses to life many nests of death
giving pestilence. and Great Bend is
not such an awfully nice, clean town to
be perfectly free from such things.
Such a board has been authorized by
action of the council but as yet no board
has been appointed. We would like
to see the board appointed, equipped
with lung protectors, and respirators,
and armed with the authority of the
law, and then turned loose in our streets
and alleys, our back lots-and some of
our front lots.

ready made is anticipated nearly forty
days of the time when it becomes due.
Harry Barnett, an employee of this
office, says there are emo flies on his
family" HIs wife Tuesday prepared
him a COED dinner at IL o'clock. and
at half past one she presented
him with fine, nine and a half pound
boy. Harry says its a democrat.
The case which was brought against
Andrew Langham by one whom he
forcibly elected from his shoe store
some time ago, was brought up again
Monday. The suit resulted in the
case being dismissed and the plaintiff
taxed up with the costs of the suit
amounting to something over $50.
Mr.. Chas M. Hanna of this city
and Miss Mamie McCafry of Richfeld,
were joined in the holy bands of mat
rimony Thursday May IL, at the resi-
dence of the brides parents. Both
parties are well known here, and liked
by all who knew them, and who all
wish them happy journey through
life. -Ellinwood advocate.
Tuesday a reporter took trip
through Liberty and Buffalo townships
and reports.everything in fourishing
condition Persons cannot imagine
how good the wheat, rye and oat fields
leok, until they see for themselves.
Wheat, oats and rye all over these
townships are up high and very thrifty.
Corn is also coming along in fine shape.
The late warm rain has made it take a
start, that will soon make the tender
shoots form waving fields of green.
Taking all in all, we did not see one
planted field yesterday in which there
was what one could call, in poor
condition. Horses, cattle and sheep
were fat and sleek and in fact every
thing seemed prosperous. If the
other farm lands throughout the
county are like Liberty and Buffalo
townships, Barton county farmers
will have little to complain over, and
may look for a gigantic harvest the
coming season.

THE cRRS T.

This unique entertainment, cons
sisting of cake and ice cream served
on coal shovels and wash pans, sand
wiches on dust pans, and lemonade
drank from pop corn peppers, tea
served in oyster cans by young ladies
dressed in paper wings and winning
smiles, was enc of the events of the
season, and reflects credit upon the
ladies of the Congregational church.
The costumes of the laiies were anus
ing, and the crazy ideas seemed to
possess the whole gathering to such an
extent that salt was put where sugar
ought to be, and one printer so far
forgot himself as to pay for what he
ate.

PARNEE ROCKETS.

From Saturday Leader
The May flowers are rather late this
season, but for all of that young Amer
lea has turned his feet out to pasture.
Henry Linn and Oscar Scott drove to
Great Bend Tuesday. Mr.. Scott being
an Iowan, was astonished at the wheat
field en- route.
C. E. Hamilton, of Mcpherson, has
sold the Pawnee Rock Roller Mills to
Ingold s. Wright Of Mcpherson. We
did not learn any particulars.
There is one question the people Of
Pawnee Rock should decide at an
early date, and that is, shall We have a
celebration on the Fourth Of July? 1t
is to our interest that We do so.
Frank Belt is marketing his wheat
this week at 20 cents. Being a sue
cessful wheat raiser and having excel
lent graiReries, Mr.. Belt sells his wheat
about when he pleases. Would that
all could de SO.
In fourteen years experience in the
newspaper business, we never knew a
liberal advertiser who was not liberal
man to deal with, and the reverse is
equally true. The moral to this is:
Scan the columns of your local news
paper, and if you want the worth of
your money and courteous treatment,
deal with those who advertise.
John Lindas has this week had a
kitchen addition put on his residence.
and is also experimenting on soft
water deep well. At Great Bend q
vein of pure, soft water is encountered
at a depth of from so TO 50 feet, i'll
what is known as the second gravel"
No one has heretofore tried to obtain
this water, but we see no reason why
it should not be here. Our water in gen.
eral use is excellent, and plenty good
for all practical purposes, being entire
ly free from alkaloids. but this soft
water at Great Bend is luxurious, be-
ing equal to the finest saltwater.
