We call attention of our readers to an
advertisement of the Chicago Cottage
Organ Company in another column, and
we take pleasure in recommending to the
general public company whose organs
have attained popular reputation for
their superior musical qualities, artistic
beauty and general excellence. This
company ranks among the largest and
best in the United States, having a ca
pacity for manufacturing 800 organs per
month, and its organs are shipped into
nearly every inhabitable portion of the
globe. The members composed of the
firm of the Chicago Cottage Organ Com
pany are men of experience, integrity.
skilled in their line, conduct their bust
ness on an equitable basis, and their fu-
ture is destined to be bright one.
As we have previously announced, the
Dodge City TINES will issue an illustrat-
ed edition of $4,000 copies, about the
middle of February. Each copy will
contain 16 pages, covered with cololed
paper, and beautifully illustrated. All
we ask is that the merchants and real
estate men of Ford county and Dodge
City pay for the stock and labor, not to
exceed five cents per copy. We are anx-
ious to have brought before the people
of the east, the natural advantages of
Ford county which we candidly think
to be far superior to any other in the
state This is home enterprise, and we
ask the cooperation of all who are in
terested in the county, that we may make
it grand success Send us items of in

going to be big immigration to Kansas

Own Your Homes.

Every man, says the Building
News, whether he is a workingman
in the common occupation of the
word or not, feels deep interest in
the management Of the affairs of the
city, county, and State in which he
lives wherever he owns home. He
is more patriotic, and in many ways
is better citizen, than the man who
simply rents, and who has but little,
if any, assurance of how long it will
be before he can be ordered to move,
to which may be added in many
cases the saving of more money.
Of course it requires some economy
to layup a sufficient amount of money
to purchase and pay for home, but
this very fact, if properly carried out
after the home acquired, may be
the instrument of furnishing the
means to commence and prosecute a
business upon ones own RESPONSE
bility. True, in some cases it will
require more economy, perhaps, than
is now practiced, But the question
with every man, and especially if he
is the head of a family, is, can he
afford it? That is, can he afford to
live up his wages as fast as he earns
them, without laying up anything
for the future?
If he is the head of a family, he is
obliged to pay rent, and it does not
require very many years of rent pay
ing to make up an amount sufficient
to purchase and pay for comfortable
home. You have to pay rent. This
you say you cannot avoid and be
honest. Well you cannot be honest
with your family unless you make a
reasonable attempt to provide them
home of their own in case anything
should happen to you.
And the obligation to do this should
be as strong as the one to pay rent OF
provide the other necessaries for the
comfort of your family. When you
own a home, you will feel a direct
interest in public affairs that other
wise you might consider were Of
little interest.

Condensed Literature.

The tendency of the times, remarks
the Norwich Courier, is toward con-
densation. We have condensed beef,
small portion of which, Dissolved
in hot water, gives one a draught
containing as much nourishment as a
whole beefsteak. We also have con-
densed milk, and condensed food of
other kinds, which contain a maxi
mum amount of the essential quality
within minimum amount of space.
How far this tendency toward con-
densation will eventually carry men
in the matter of food, it is difficult to
predict. Perhaps the time will come
when the art of extracting and con-
densing the active principle or es-
sence of comestiples will be so adj
vanced that one may be able to OBJ
tain in small pellet as much refresh.
ment and nourishment as he now ob.
tains in whole meal. Then all the
time now consumed by the good
housewives in preparing breakfast
dinner, and supper, and by the bust
ness members of the family in going
tOand from and eating their meals
will be saved. There will be NJ
roasting over the kitchen stove, nj
trouble washing dishes, no worry
over varied bill of fare, no agitat
ing over broken china, etc. A per
son will carry few food pills in hi
pocket, and when he grows he ill will
take one and swallow his Who'll,
meal at once. Perhaps.

Our Tell Tale Eyes.

Black dark brown are a sign Of
passionate ardor in love.
Dark blue, or violet, denote great
affection and purity, but not much
intellectually.
Clear, light blue, with calm, stead
fast glance denote cheerfulness, good
temper, constancy.
Pale blue, or steel colored, with
shifting motion of eyelids and pu-
pills, denote deceitfulness and selfish
ness.
Russet brown without yellow de-
note an affectionate disposition, sweet
and gentle. The darker the brown,
the more ardent the passion.
Blue, with greenish tints, are not
sostrongly indicative of these traits,
but slight propensity to greenish
tints ineyes of any color is a sign of
wisdom and courage.
Gray or greenish gray, with orange
and blue shades and ever varying
tints, are the most intellectual, and
are indicative ftbe impulsive, i'm
pressional temperament the mixture
of the sanguine and bilious, which
produce poetic and artistic natures.

Airing Rooms.

1t is a great mistake that the whole
house, particularly the sleeping rooms
and the dining room, receives little
ventilating and purifying of the air,
when it can be done with so little
trouble and no expense. A pitcher
of cold water placed on a table or a
bureau will obsorb all the gases with
which room is filled from the respi-
ratiou of those eating or sleeping in
the apartment. Very few realize
how important such publication is
for the health of the family, or, in
deed, understand or realize that there
can be any impurity in the rooms,
yet in few hours a pitcher of cold
water-the colder the better and
more effective-will make the air of
the room pure, but the water will be
entirely unfit for use. In bedrooms a
bucket or pitcher of water should al
ways be kept and changed often if
any one stays in the room during
the day, and certainly be put in fresh
when the inmates retire. One should
never drink such water; if it is need
ed for drink, use closely covered
vessel Impure air, and for that rea-
son, before using water from a pump
or reservoir for drinking or cooking,
one should pump or draw out enough
to clear the pipes before using it, par
ticularly in the morning, after the
water has been standing in the pipes
all night.

Will This be a Hot Summer i?

The impression seems to prevail,
pretty generally, that we are to have
a hot summer throughout the
country.
The Indiana Pharmacist predicates
it upon the following theory, which
has been advanced by others: The
weather seems to run in cycles of
about seven years, that is, when we
have hot summer, it is always fol-
lowed by cold one, and it takes
about seven years to reach another
equally hot. 1t will be remembered
by many that the summer of 1867
was very hot, and so dry that during
August the grass crumbled under the
feet when trod upon. The summer
of 1868 was noted for its GOODNESS, the
thermometer very seldom getting
above $50, and we did not reach the
top wave of thermality again until
1874, when it was extremely hot
The following summer was cold to a
remarkable degree. From then on
the summers grew gradually warmer
until 1881, which was excessively
hot and very dry, no rain falling fol
over nine weeks, and there were
more sunstrokes that summer thar
there has been in all the summers
since.
The summer of 1889 was quite cold
a few flakes of snow fell on the
morning of July 1, followed by hal
in the afternoon, and during the res
of the month and through the month
of August the temperature was so low
that overcOats were necessary fol
comfort, particularly at night. The
summers since 1882 have grown
warmer and warmer, and last sum
mer was a moderately hot one, bu

Ice-Cold Drinks.

Death turks in the water-cooler. In
other words ice water is hurtful. The
normal temperature of the blood is
from 6S to l02 degrees Fahrenheit.
When it is raised still higher than
this by the heats of summer, it re-
quires no extended medical knowl-
edge to believe that the sudden pour
ing into the stomach of fluid seven
ty degrees colder must be detrimen-
tai in the highest degree. At meals
it is specially mischievous. Diges-
ton is combustion. Pouring ice
water into the stomach as this i'm
portant process begins is equivalent
to quenching a necessary fire. II
takes some time for the outraged or.
gan to recover, and, when it does,
dyspepsia comes as an avenger. Ii
ice-water drinkers at meals complain
of their stomachs, possibly they may
now know the reason why. We
haveno doubt that, more than the
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1888-06-23

heated atmosphere, quite a number
of cases of sudden death may be just
ly attributed toreckless drinking Of
cold drinks, especially those of an in
toXicating character. The blood
driven from the stomach rushes to
other parts where it is not needed,
and hence congestion of the brain.
Many PHYSICIANS trace to this source
nervous disorders that make men and
women hateful to themselves and
everybody else. 1t is hard, indeed,
at any time, to refrain from drinking
ice-water, ice-tea, ice-milk and the
refreshing julep; but disease and
death Turk in them, and we have
little doubt that to such indulgence,
more than to all other probably causes,
we must ascribe the death-roll's re-
cent increase.
