POSSIBILITIES OF TIssUE-PAPER.

The other day / was awakened to the pos

cipie as like TO fancy have dare claim
a solid and permanent merit in behalf OF

And I had an instance before me.
There was 10 be a children's party, and a

the paper. Double over the edges by first
folding them over the rim OF the cup
(which makes an even and very visible
crease. take out the cup. and refold the

FRUIT IN DIET.
Fish and Dried Fruit When Eaten
Freely VIII Insure Health.


The approaching warm weather suggests
questions Of diet which control the general
health and make or mar personal com
fort to an enormous degree. What We
shall eat or drink and what to avoid TO
insure health, 10 increase the enjoyment
without adding 10 our usual expenses,
is question inviting enough to interest
us all.
The way Of life becomes very easy II
extravaganza and usage common to our
condition. The only effective way 10
modify habits IS 70 change them.
Although fruit as common article OF
diet is making great advances among us,
It's use Is BY no means as general as IL
might be. The reason why IL has made
such rapid strides Is due in no small de-
gres to our great need OF Il. The in
creased consumption of cereal foods con-
tanning starch In large quantities has pro-
NOTED ths use OF drugs, and less aperi-
ents to correct irregularity OF habit. Ripe
fruits provide US with form OF sugar
which taxes the digestive organs least.
and a series OF dilute acids OF decided
solvent action In the medium OF water OF
naturSs own d!stilling. No wonder so
many cures are claimed for food fruits
The common error OF regarding fruits
as too watery comes from q misconcep-
ton OF the use OF water In the animal
needs. Every one knows that the purity
OF water governs the degree of health we
enjoy. and that water OF suspicious or
less good quality does not serve us so
well. While water alone win not repair
the bodys waste, since IL contains no
food constituents for the formation OF
new bone and muscle. II can and does
make the food We eat more effective, be-
cause good water improves our digestions
and decreases the body OF It's effete mat
ter by taking II through the excretory
organs OF skin. kidneys. liver. lungs. and
bowels The vigor we possess comes from
our mode OF living. The more we can do
to feel nationally by the use OF as much
raw vegetable substance as fruits and
salads. the less concern We shall have for
health

This afternoon in the college Young
Mems Christian Association, State-Sec-
rotary IL. q. Williams met a number OF
students of Randolph Macon, and also
several ladies. members OF the assocla-
ton. His visit was to lay before those
present the necessity Of sending full
representation 10 the annual meeting OF
the southern summer school for coll
lege students. which takes place June
18th to oath at Knoxville. The president
of the College Association. Mr.. IL. IL.
Woolf introduced Secretary Williams.
and in his talk impressed very forcibly
the duty the college association owed to
the school convention. Those who heard
him were very greatly enthused, and 1t
is a foregone conclusion that Randolph
Macon Will be well represented.
Mr.. j. Stewart Hopkins. the young
tenor of Richmond, accompanied the State
Secretary, and during the exercises de-
lighted his hearers with his full. clear
voice.
Rev. r. r. Howison, minister OF Ash
land Presbyterian church. arrived here
last night direct from the East Han
over Presbytery. He told me this after
to say that his charge compared very
well with the other churches represented
at the meeting. and that the subscrp-
ton 10 foreign missions was exceedingly
fine.
The bazaar held on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings at the Ashland Hotel
for the benefit OF the fire company netted
about s2l7. The ladies in charge are In
high spirits over their success, and very
justly may they be. They will in day
or so acknowledge through the Dispatch
the liberal contributions received from
Richmond merchants. ...
Politics were lively here this afternoon
At one time II looked like every man on
the street wished TO submit his claims
for Office to the sovereigns. but the voter
was a scarce commodity. All were office
seekers.
