Sunshine and Digestion.

Very intimate are the relations between
sunshine and digestion.
Mr.. p, one of our merchants, came to sec
me about his stomach. Dyspepsia was writ
ten all over his face, seen in his movements
heard in his voice.
Doctor am played out. I can't digest,
I can't work, must give up"
"Tell me about your Diet
"Thet is all right. have studied the
subject, and l know my food is all right"
"How about your exercse?'
II haye little gymnasium in my store,
and exercise an hour every day"
How about your seep?"
"Why, doctor, 60 to bed every night with
the chickens; at any rate, | am always in
bed before nine O'clock I rise by six in the
morning, take bath, plain breakfast and
20 to my counting room. Once in the fore
noon and once in the afternoon l exercise
in my gymnasium half an hour, but am
getting worse and worse all the time. Isn't
it curious? My wife thinks must have a
cancer in the stomach. Nothing seems to
help me; live the most physiological life,
but my digestion grows worse and worse "
"About your counting room; is that light?
Is it sunny
"The store is light enough, but the count
ing room is so dark that we have to use
gas"
That's it, Mr.. P, that explains your can
GER"
"Of course you don't mean that; but
suppose it would be better if the counting
room were sunny"
"Mr. p, no vegetable thing, even, can ex.
ist in the dark. Try it. Plant a potato in a
dark cellar. Surround it with the best soil
and give it water. How slender and pale it
, is. Now open a window in another part OF
the cellar, and notice how the poor, hungry
thing will stretch that way.
"Mr. P, have you noticed where grain is
growing in an orchard, that the part under
the trees is smaller than that outside and
away from the trces9 And yet the soil nm
der the trees Is actually the richer. What is
the trouble? That part under the trees does
not receive as much sunshine as that away
from them.
Haven't you noticed that the only grapes
which become ripe and sweet, and the only
peaches that take on those beautiful red
cheeks are those on the outside, exposed tC
the sun?
The law is the same in the animal world
1t is just as true that the only girls with rec
checks and sweet breath, the only girls who
become fully ripe and sweet, are those who
baptize themselves freely in sunshine.
"You have seen those pale girls in tn,
stores girls with bloodless, hali.bakcl
sort of face, whose walk, whose voices
and whole expression, are so void of spirit
and force. These girls are in the greer
state Look at them! 1t gives you pair
and distress. You feel they can never bt
what nature intended, SO with you, my dear
man. Get into the sunshine! II is one o
the most powerful stimulants of all of TIT
functions of the body, we have; Il s,mulan
that leaves no trace Of evil, no toxic ctfcc
behind it like alcohol and many other drugs

AGRICULTURAL.
The Teams For Spring Work.

When the spring work opens it is essential
that the work horses be in u good, thrifty
condition. There is no necessity for their
being fat. In fact, too much fat is a cetri-
ment rather than q benefit. What is wanted
is muscle Fat will sweat off; muscle will
not. A fat horse is liable to indigestion, sun
stroke, tlatulcnce, collie and other ills that a
horse in coed, thrifty condition is exempt
from.
What is wanted in good work horse is
hard, elastic muscles which may be worked
without sweating the holse too much and
without exhaus,ing the vital forces
! Good care, proper feeding and good
grooming are the essentials necessary to
secure the proper condition to enable the
animal to do the necessary farm work with
out running down in condition. The ration
should be muscle forming rather than
fat producing one. When corp, as is so

The grooming should be done carefully,
keeping the skin clean, for this is essential to
good health. Foul matter is thrown off
through the pores Of the skin, and it these
are allowed to become closed this matter will
remain in the system to polson 1t.
Exercise tires the muscles brought into
use. The tired muscles need feeding and the
proper food for tired muscles is digested
food
TO secure proper digestion il is essential
that the animal have plenty Of time to masti.
cate and digest his food.
If compelled to bolt the food, or if put to
work before digestion is well under way,
more or less of the food will remain undi

Watering after feeding has tendency to
wash the food out OF the stomach and
into the ntcslincs before it has been prop
crly dlgcs,ed. The food supplied should al
ways be sound and Nutritious, and in guam
tity sufficient to keep the horse in thrifty
condition.

That the average man will know what to
do with himself when the millennium comes?
That our professions will help us much
if our lives do not come up to them,
That the troubles you worry over are half

That we can give money to the Lord &C.

SIX LIVES LOST
In the Wreck of the Schooner Susan
P. ThurlOW on the Maine Coast.

Portland, Me-, December 15.-SiX
lives were lost in the wreck OF the
schooner Susan P. Thurqow, on Cush-
ing Island, last night. She was bound
from Hillsboro, N. B., for Boston under
Captain L. .Helgersen, of New YORK,
and his crew: Mate F. Mclean, COOK,
John C. Nickels and seamen F. Lagadec,
Philip Mead, E. Reimann and George
Anderson. Reimann reached land with
news of the wreck, but the others, In
Guiding the captain, perlshed.
The Thurlow left Philadelphia No
vember II for Boston with a cargo OF
bituminous coal After discharging her
cargo she proceeded to Hillsboro, N. B.,
and took on cargo of plaster rock for
delivery at New York.
She was owned principally by Captain
Joseph Weldon, Of Brooklyn, who had
heretofore sailed the vessel with Hell
gersen as chief mate.
Remnants story was that when only
a few miles out from Portland, which
they were trying to make for shelter
from the storm, the rudder rope parted,
the vessel became disabled and was at
the mercy of a heavy sea. The captain
even while they were thus engaged the
schooner struck On the reef. All three
masts were carried away by the force
Of the impact, one OF the tOpmasts strik-
ing the captain and crushing one of his
legs. The captain and mate ordered
the men to jump for their lives.
Reimann was caught by huge wave
and hurled into the sea. He was wash
ed up on the beach of the island three
times but was unable to obtain a foot
hold and was swept back by the under
tow. He managed to get hold of one
of the ship and chung to it for G long
time, finally being carried upon the
beach by the waves. He lay on the
beach, benumbed with cold and ex-
hausted with his battle with the waves,
for some time. At length he dragged
himself to the hut of a fisherman,
where he was cared for. This morning
he was brought to this city and the sto-
ry of the disaster became known.
The bodies of the captain, mate and
three sailors were washed ashore on the
island during the night. Nothing was
left of the vessel this morning. The
beach is strewn with spars and other
wreckage.

THE LUETGERT CASE
Has Lost Interest for Morbid ChicagOans.
Court Room Only Half Filled.


Chicago, December 15.-Judging
from the small crowd in attendance at
the opening of the Luetgert trial to-
day public interest in the proceedings
has fallen off greatly. The court room
was not more than half filled when
Attorney Harmon resumed his opening
address for the defense. Immediately
after the conclusion of Mr.. Harmon's
speech the court adjourned for the day
and the members of the jury were
driven to the big sausage mandatory
at Diversey street and Hermitage ave-
nue., where they spent the afternoon
inspecting the gloomy cellars and the
sausage watts in one Of which Luetgert
is charged with having placed the dead
body of his wife and boiled it to pulp.
The defense, it is said will make a
strong effort to exclude all testimony
in the present trial that is not given IN
English. Many of the most important
witnesses for the prosecution in the
former trial required the services of an
Interpreter and Lawyer Harmon, it is
said, will fight hard to have this kind
of testimony ruled out.
