from the vicinity of Rocky Ford. The
goods kept by our merchants attract
trade from wide scope of country.
Both the merchants and the ladies will
long remember Saturday as kind Of

When the Farmers Institute COM
mittee was considering ordering pro-
grams for the late institute they proposed
that the Enterprise Office do the work,
without cost to the institute. securing
advertising from our business men to
compensate for the work. We dIscour-
aged the suggestion because asking bus.
mess men to advertise in n medium OF no
value would be an imposition on them.
Had we taken the job on the terms su9-
gested it would have paid very much
better than for the program alone, which
was furnished. When we ask business
men for orders for advertising in the En-.
terprise we can do SO with good grace,
for We know that they get value for their
expenditure. But cards on programs for
entertainments are worthless to adver-
tisers, many of whom, however, Roodna-
turedly give their orders with the idea
that they are aiding the entertainment
which, however, is not the largest bene-
ficiary.

"Chlmney climate" IL the latest for
the climate that Is to be found In all

Its characteristics, says man OF
learning, are mildnsss, absence OF rain
and frequency OF fog as compared with
surrounding rural districts. And he
gives a very clever explanation OF the
presence OF the fog. II Is actually man
ufactured right under our eyes You
know II you look crOsswise at a sun
beam you see In It a myriad OF very
small particles OF dust. 80 densely
crowded together that some scientists
even attribute to them the color OF the
sky. And there is also about us an in
visible vapOr and this combines with
the PARTICLES to give us fog. II may
be so. II sounds reasonable enough
when one takes into consideration the
fact that fogs are more frequent In
large manufacturing cities than else
where. But II It be 80. what are men
OF science about that they don't find
an antidots for the evil?

In paper recently published on the
value OF sugar as food as compared
with fat, M. Auguste Chauveau main
tains that Its nutritive value is consld-
erably higher than that deduced from
its heat OF combustion, and that the cal
culation that 0.756 pound OF the former
Is equal to ! pound OF the latter is In
many cases exceeded. The increase In
relative nuitritlve value Is due largely
to the fact that sugar promotes as
similation of the proteids and reduces
assimilation, and the value OF food
must necessarily depend not only upon
the energy II Is capable Of supplying
but also on tho indirect influence that
It Is capable OF exertlng In the renewal
and formation OF animal tissue. From
whatever point OF view the matter Ia
regarded. the superiority OF sugar over
fat az a food, whether for men at rest
or at work. is very distinct
