DIET FOR NERVOUS PERSONS.

Mrs. Rorer, in a diet suggested for
nervous persons, does not veto coffee
altogether. Once q day, at breakfast,
without sugar, it appears IN the list.
White bread dried out in the oven,
and lean roast beef, steak, or broiled
chops three timesa day are permitted.
Fruit she advises to be used sparingly,
and never in the latter part of the day.
The surprises in the list are that COT
fee should be allowed at all, that meat
should be provided in abundance, and
fruit sparingly. Finally, plenty OF
green salad, with all the salad oil, in
q French dressing made with lemon,
that can be taken. Fat around the
nerves, she says, smooths them out
very quickly. New York Post.

SEED POTATOES

The tests of the Ohio Experiment
station indicate that home grown seed
potatoes will give as good crops rs any
northern grown seed Of the same
varieties, provided thu seed potatoes
ere we'll kept, but the yield is materi.
ally lessened and the I. pening retarded
if the seed potatsas are allowed tn
sprout and the sprouts are broken #,
as usually happens when the pota. bes
are kept in G. dark ce1'4E
Many potato growers sctp their
potatoes successfully especially in the
northern part of the State, by burying
the potatoes in pits, covering to a sinai.
low depth at first and adding layers
OF straw and earth as the weather be-
comes colder.
The ideal method of keeping seed
potatoes is in cold storage. Potatoes
thus kept at Ohio station have come
out sound and fresh, with no indica-
ton of sprouting and the vitality un-
impaired, even SO late as the first Of
June. It is important, however, that
the temperature Of the cold storage
room should not fall below thirty-fve
degrees, nor should it rise much above
forty degrees.
When cold storage is not available,
sprouting may be in some measure
prevented by shoyeling the potatoes
over frequently.
While the %sprouting Of potatoes IN.
der ordinary conditions is very ob-
jectionable, they may be SO ~sprouted
as to materially advance their earli-
ness. This is done by placing them,
stem end down, in single layers in
shallow trays on the floor, in a light
and moderately warm room. Thus
placed they will send out short, stubby,
green sprouts which will remain in
that condition for weeks. Such pota-
toes, planted without breaking the
sprouts, will grow Immediately and
produce an early crop.

Narrow Escape OF a Cowboy.

Presence of mind and cool nerve
are what H. Fersten, u cowboy, pos
sesses 10 a marked degree. To these
he owes his. life, which seems to have
hung On a slender thread one day last
week.. writes a Butte Mont CORE
spondent of the Philadelphia Times.
He left Billings early one cold morn
ing, riding a horse and leading three
bronchos. He crossed the river to go
to the Crow reservation, where there
is no settlement, when his horse
slipped and fell. This caused the lead
horses to jerk back, throwing him
from the saddle and entangling his
legs in the rope. The frightened
horses then ran, dragging Fersten,
who realized at n his awful danger
and lay on his back.
It was necessary to act quickly. So
with rare presence of mind and con.
summete GOODNESS he reached for his
knife. opened it with his teeth, but in
slashing at the rope had it knocked
from his hand. He then reached
around to his hip and drew his revol-
yer. Suffering severely from contact
with the hard, frozen ground, he man
aged to fire, but he did not hit the
nearest horse fatally. Then he fred
again, this time bringing down the
horse, to which he clung in such a
manner as to relieve him from further
bruises and the strain of the rope.
which had already broken a small
bone in his leg. The horses soon
stopped, when he was able to extricate
himself from the danger Of his situa-
ton. He Immediately mounted a
horse and returned to Billings for
medical aid. This instance deserves
to be put down as n in which rare
presence Of mind and nerve were dis.
played under the most trying circum-
stances. But the hardy cowboy only
smiled and seemed to regard it more
of a joke than anything else. He
blamed himself for being caught of
his guard and in such a position as to
be dragged by wild horses.
