The Food of the Poor

The studies of the foods of people OF
the poorer classes, especially in the large
cities, are full of interest We have been
wont 10 say 1.-THE destruction Of the poor
is their poverty" but here 1t is rather
their improyidence. They suffer less
from lack Of economy in lis use. Often
this bad economy is due to pride and I'M
willingness to economic, and often it is
due only to ignorance.
a large number of the Investigations
just referred to were made by a lady phy-
sician, who has practiced for number OF
years among the poorest people in New
York. She lately remark: II think
know personally at least four hundred
families in the worst congested region OF
this city. have procticed my profession
among them, am familiar with their ways,
their family HISTORIES, and many of theI
family tragdaies. and many of their family
work done among them by religious org
anizations, and can bear mos, empheue
testimony to its usefulness But if were
to say where the philanthopist must begin
if he will improve their physical and hence
their intellectual and their moral condition,
1t would be at the table. There is no one
respect in which there is so great need OF
reform among them-no one way in the
improvement of their food and their uu-

There is great advantage in narrowing
potatoes before they come up 1t is best
done when they are covered with Gov

ridges which the harrow partially lev

er can again be used piling the earth
over the new shoots. When this is har

be nearly free from ridges, and the cul-

cutting the ridges down and making the
hills nearly level with the surface.

guides as to the best time to begin

blight appears with considerable regu-

spray about ten days before the period
in which the trouble is generally first
noticed Later applications may be
made at intervals Of one to three weeks,
depending upon the weather. Even in

The cows and other cattle as well,
should be given feed of hay each night,
Notwithstanding they may be running in
the pasture through the day. The new
grass is watery feed at this stage OF
growth, and in proportion to the water
contains but small measure of nutri-
teon. Hence dry food like hay is es-
pecially acceptable by the animal, and
therefore just what is needed. Give it as
long as they will take it, Hay is good
feed at any time.

4 Quality Most Desired,

Among the qualities most to be desired
in young girls character is high sense
of honor. | wish | could impress on
every reader the need of being always
above everything petty or small, so that
one would not for single moment ever
be tempted to do a mean or underhand
thing, to speak unkindy of friend, or to
repeat conversation which was confd
entail
1t may happen to you. for instance, to
be visiting 10 the home of a relative or
friend, where there may be little friction
at the table, or where some anxiety arises
abou: the course of member of the FAM
lily. No matter what YOU see or hear in
such circumstances YOU are bound, if you
are an honorable person, to be silent
about it, neither making comments nor
looking as if you could tell something if
you choose, nor in any way abiding to what
is unpleasant, at any future time. A
guest in home cannot be too careful to
guard the good name of those under its
roof. for il is an honor to be a guest, in
the first place, and honor is demanded in
return.
Again, nice sense of honor in matters
| connected with money is very import
ant. Polly is treasurer of a society, and
has the care of the funds. She must
never for an instant, or in an emergency,
lend these finds to other people, or borroy
them for her own use. knew a girl-
Poolly was her name, by-the-way- who
was induced, being treasure of a certain
guild, to lend her brother, for one day,
the money she had in her care. The
brother was older than Polly, and very
persuasive person. He said: why
should you hesitate? I'll bring it back to
you tonight, and it will oblige me very
much if can take that fifty dollars and
pay bill | owe before noon to-day,
Foolish Polly permitted her scruples
to be oyerruled. The money was not
brought back, and but for her fathers
kindness in making it good she would
have been disgraced as dishonest treas
urer. She told me long afterwards that
the lesson had been burned ip on her
mind never to take liberties with money
which she held in trust.-IIaybV'5HoHHd

THE TICKET.

The Republican ticket of avon
county was filed with the clerk yester-
day, and a more representative list of
nominees for county offices could not
be found. Those chosen to fill the va
rious offices are men of good moral
character, honest farmers and mer-
chants, who have never before held
public Office, and are not perpetual
office seekers.
The candidate for state senator, s. s.
Foote lives at Middleton, where his
ranch, one of the finest in the county is
situated. Mr.. FOOte is also miller
and his fair dealings between man and
man has won him the respect of the
people in our county. Should he be
elected, to the senate, the people will
have conferred an honor on one who
will fittingly uphold it.
For representatives, Geo. L. Alley, of
Caldwell, a gentleman whom every cit
izen respects for his honesty and integ-
rity, y. q. Van Houten, director Of the
Experimental station at Nampa, and
Willis R. Whipple, one of the promi
nent ranchers of Payette were nOmi-
mated. The gentlemen viii see to it
that the state and Canyon county is
ably represented in the lower house,
For sheriff, Jos. Wilson was nomi-
mated. Mr.. Wilson was at one time
u. S. marshal and sheriff of Ada coun-
ty. AS an officer Mr.. Wilson was with
out peer, and he can be relied on to
do his duty in an emergency. He Will
be terror to evil doors.
For treasurer, William Ireton, was
named. Bill IretOn, as he is familiarlT
called, has once previously held office,
and his record is such that it can be
held to the people as an example OF
what an officer should be. Mr.. IretOu
is well qualified to handle the money
of the taxpayers, and in his hands il
will be carefully guarded.

EADs IN MEDICINE.

There are fads in medicine as in
every thing else and new thing"
frequently sells for short time simply
because it is new. But in medicine, as
in nothing else, the people will be sat
isfied only with positive, absolute
merit. The fact that Hoods Sarsa-
parilla has stood the ground against all
competition, and its sales have never
wavered but have remained steadily at
the top, demonstrates, beyond doubt
the intrinsic virtues of this medicine.
The new things have come and gone
but Hoods Sarsaparilla rests upon the
solid foundation of absolute merit and
its power to cure, audit sales continue
to BIS the largest in the world
