The Value Of Vegetable

An exchange makes the fol-
lowing timely suggestions on
the subject of diet during warm
weather: "Do not eat too much
meat in the summer; a little
meat will go long way, and on
really hot days large quantities
of meat are decidedly injurious.
1t is not for nothing that nature
has been SO prodigal with vege-
table growth in the hot time of
the year. We are meant to eat
more fruit and vegetables in
summer than in winter, for they
are better for Our health. Meat
and fatty foods supply us with
heat as we'll as with actual nour-
ishnent, and we do not need to
have ouf temperature Increased
on a hot day. See, however, that
the fruit eaten is fresh and fully
ripe, and the vegetables wells
cleansed and freshened and in
good condition. Over ripe or
green fruit must never be eaten.
Do not be afraid of wasting fruit
which has begun to decay.

says: "Durham county is afflic-

one of the most 1nhuman in the

committed to Jail to await re-

the second offense-of the kind of

SAW THE VIRGIN MARY.
WEALTHY FARMER OF NEW JER-
SEY DESCRIBES THE VISION
THAT SURPRISED HIM.

The following story comes
from Belvidere, n. j.:
Moses Dcpue is known through
out this county and the adjoining
counties in Pennsylvania as the
wealthiest and most staid tlller
of the soil residing in Parhaquary
township. He is deacon in the
Lutheran Church, Superlnten-
dent Of the local Sunday school,
and comes from a good old Qua
ker family, his father having
been a colonel in the revolutions
airy war. He has been treasurer
of the township, a member OF
the County Board of Free Hold
ers, and until last week a prom
inent candidate for State Senator.
He is now looked upon with
suspicion by his neighbors, and
there are few who question his
veracity.
He was sitting on the front
| porch Of his fine old farm house
Sunday afternoon, when he told
the following strange story:
Last Thursday afternoon
about 5 o'clock, while fishing
for bass from a boat at the head
of Sabo Rift, in the Delaware
river, l was suddenly startled by
seeing a huge white cloud arise
from the stream near the Jersey
shore, from which there emerged
the strains of sweet music. It's
strange shape and the way in
which it arose, III the form of a
cross, riveted me to my seat. AS
the cloud reached a height Of
about fifty feet it parted in the
middle, and there, in the centre
was the form of a beautiful wo-
man.
"Her sweet face was radiant
with a strange light, her beaut:>
full golden hair fell in heavy rolls
over her shoulders, and d shining
crown of silver adorned her brow
The figure, which was of natur,
al size, was robed III 4 garment
of white which reached to her
feet. AS the apparition arose
and foated over the Delaware
heard sweet songs and music
from overhead.
THE figure bore a striking
resemblance of portraits of the
Virgin Mary, and was so daz-
cling III its brightness that
placed my hands before my eyes
When l recovered from my as,
constituent the vision had van
ished."
There is no question that Mr.
Depue is firm in his belief that
he saw the apparition described

VACATION TIME

Is at hand and is welcomed by all, es-
pecially those whose duties in life have
caused them to greatly run down their
system to meet the requirements, phys
ical and mental, forced upon them.
With these and others, it is important,
whether at home, at the seashore Or in
the country, but some thought be given
to diet, and as further assistance to
Nature, good building-up medicine
like Hoods Sarsaparilla had best be
resorted to. If the digestion is poor,
liver deranged and frequent headaches
seem to be the rule, Hood S will change
all this and enable everyone to return
