''The realization Of the importance
of the use of the proper food for chill
dren is only just beginning to bel felt, +"
said physician. ''.Too often the
child's food is almost exactly that of
the parents, including tea and coffee.
So much dosing with medicines would
be unnecessary if parents were intel
ligent enough to know the use of the
proper foods ut the proper times. 1t
is 10 be hol ed that there will come a
time when it will be necessary for
girls to take at least six months
course in the chemistry Of foods and
the correct treatment OF the stomach.
1.-THE foundation Of digestion, good
or bad, is laid in the ehrliest years,
and many OF the ills of later life might
almost be directly traced to improper
food in childhood's days.
''As basis for ehild's food, whole
wheat bread and milk and cream are
best; the bread homemade. Oeca-
sionally white bread toasted may be
used, or light milk biscuit rs change.
Milk and eggs may be used in alum
dance, but meat should be omitted al
together until the child has the prop
er teeth for grinding it.
''Ihere are many good cereal break
fast foods 10 be used with milk, but
one should be economical with the SUI
gar; too much of it is harmful, and
produces fermentation in the child s
stomach, causing cramps, collie and
dysentery. Rye meal porridge is
/ good, and will overcome constipation,
but oatmeal should not be used too
lavishly, as constant use sometimes
produces skin trouble. One of these
foods, with thin slices OF graham,
whole-wheat or rye bread, moistened
with little butter or cream, some hot
water and milk or weak cocoa, makes
a good breakfast. New York Trib-

The county of Herefordshire. Eng
land, possesses a remarkable freak Of
nature-two trees have Joined together
about ten feet from the ground by
what appears to be a single branch. A
closer examination shows, however,
that tho connection has been formed
by branches growing from both trees;
these two branches having met, and
in the course of time. grown together.
1t is probable that these twin trees are
unique in England; at any rate, from
the manner in which the curiosity has
been grown they must be very rare.

It is not known who did the shooting and no arrests have been made yet. No one seems to know just how the shooting was brought about
 Some 20 or 9. shots were fired. They seemed mostly to have come from the court house, but some came from other directions. The man fell at The Regis ter's office, and near him lay Win chester rifle. The windows of the office were shattered by several bullet holes, and where they entered the woodwork showed that they came from the direc- ton of the cour5 house.
 The physician who examined the body sad there were two wounds on the body, one in the leg and one through the neck.
 There had been some trouble on the street a short while before this, but was quelled by Sheriff Rich, and 1t was thought the matter was settled when the shooting of Adams occurred.
 Hope Adams, the man killed, was the leader and instigator of the independent movement against the White Mans Union and has been very industrious in his efforts to break t up, and this was beginning to cause some friction between khe races.
