with the Only Body You Have.
People dislike to look unpleasant facts
in the face, and yet we must do this in
order to avoid the habits which the body
shows are killing. A man or woman may
have warning. from stomach. nerves or
liver trouble, that cofsee-drinking is stead
lily undermining their constitution, the
illness day after day showing absolutely
that there is some serious disturbances,
and their com on sense tells them that it
gets worse instead OF better.
They know coffee is the cause, but try
and deceive themselves with assurance
that it is some temporary disorder OF the
stomach ana will go away of itself. So
the drug (coffee) is swallowed zach day
and the dismal war gees on. Ii would
seem the part of common sense to look

NEED NOT BE INSPECTED.

Supervisors Eliminate Certain Specif1-
cations in Contracts for Supplies of
Public Institutions.
The Health and Police Committee OF
the Supervisors took a step yesterday that
may cause conflict of authority between
the board and the Health Department.
1t was decided to recon- mend that the
clause in the contracts for iood supplies
for public institutions requiring con-
tractors 20 exhibit and submit the goods
for examination at food inspection sta
tions before delivering them be elimina-
ted.
This action was taken on the ground
that the officials of puplIc institutions are
supposed to inspect goods delivered to
them and reject all that are not up to
specifications.
The com mittee also decided to recon-
mend that the board repeal the ordinance
requiring the materials mentioned to be
take n 10 the stations.

1t will be remembered that the cele-
brated ti,Z-immOns-Maher fight was
held just across the river in Mexico, and
only few hundred yards from Lang
try. This fight was a great event in
Beams life. He was master of cere-
monies in making the arrangements for
the fight and superintended the build
ing of the pontoon bridge a:ross the
Rio Grande and the putting up of the
arena in which the fight took place.
1t was disappointment to him, how
ever, that the crowd was so small, for
he had laid in a great supply of all
kinds of liquor. However, he sold
large quantity and made considerable
money from the event. He was right
at the ring side during the fight and
saw the terrific blow which knocked
out Maher. He wanted Fitzsimmons
to stay with him a month after the
fight. but the pugilist declined the in
vitatiOn, and it adOrns the walls of the

Afraid Of Nothing.

The most vicious and fearless of the
brute creation is the peccary or wild
hog of Mexico. This animal seems ut
terly devoid of the emotion of fear. 1
have never seen it turn hairs breadth
out of its path for any living thing,
says writer. Man is its special bette
noire. 1t displays an intelligence in
fighting the human strangely at vari-
ance with its apparently complete lack
of any mental attributes, save the very
lowest order of instinct. They are
rarely found singly, but go in droves of
a hundred to thousands. Their ability
to scent men is particularly marked. L
have known drove of them to scent
man a mile off and strike as straight
for him as the arrow flies. There is no
use to try to brighten them with guns.
The cannonading of full battery
would have no more effect on them
than the popping of fire cracker. The
only thing TO do when they get after
you is to run away from them as fast as
horse can carry you. And then there
is no certainty that they won't catch
you. They are nearly as swift as a
horse, and their endurance is as great
as tt cir viciousness.
A friend OF mine encountered a drove
of them in wild part of Mexico few
years age, and his escape wa. miracu-
lous. He very foclishly shot and
wounded a number of them. Then he
took refuge in tree. The peccaries
kept him in the tree all that day and
through the night. They circled around
the tree, grunting and squealing their
delight at the prospect of feast. He
soon exhausted his ammunition, and
brought down a peccary at each fire.
But this had no terrors for the beasts.
Along toward morning the brutes be-
gan to eat the ones he had killed, and
when they thus satisfied the cravings
of their stomachs they formed in line
and trotted off. If they had not had
some of their own number to devour,
they would have guarded that tree I'M
til my friend, through sheer exhaustion,
dropped from his perch and allowed
them to make meal of him. The wild
cats and tigers that infest the Mexican
wilds, flee from the peccaries with in
stinctive fear, and even rattlesnakes
keep out of their path.-Exchange.
