Regarding Food.

Sailed fish and meats are hard on the
stomach.
Apples not only are good, but contain
medicinal juices.
Rice forms the food of one-third of
the human race.
Persons of Dhlegmatic constitutions
should eat onions, garlic and parsley.
Eggs furnish wholesome and simple
food. The eggs of the turkey are best
of all.
Oatmeal is a strong food and builds
up the muscle. 1t should be eaten to-
gether with bread.
Plums should not be touched unless
wholly ripe. and apricots are richer
than peaches.
Cheese, if partaken of sparingly, will
not hurt one. If toasted it is rendered
rather indigestible
Butter, If eaten moderately will not
prove hurtful. The system needs oils
and pure butter furnishes these
Potatoes as food vary in value, ac-
cording to the way they are cooked.
Roasted they are in the best form for
eating. Peasants eat potatoes together
with milk, and ARE correct in princi-
pie, as the milk furnishes the elements
lacking in the tubers.

mates here, and attorneys attending that
court are compelled to travel 800 miles

pared and forwarded to Washington,
providing for term of federal court in
TINS city, but some of the members Of
the bar are in favor Of taking a bigger
bite while they are at it. 1t is suggest
ed that should Judge Bum of the federal
court retire soon, it would be in line to
pave a Northern man appointed to take

inquired that it would not be a hard mat

CHEEKY 'Howdy do?"
The girl had ridden from Eau Claire,

the train. "Cold? Well, yes, little, -
she said in answer to a dozen queries,
''but l had to come. I had no money
and knew | would be put off if / entered
a car, SO | just staid outside and here

The girl boarded the train in the night
and chung to the rafting platform until
Madison was reached. Here she was
discovered by one of the brakemen, who
ordered her off and accompanied her back
to the conductor to explain her action.
To the latter she said she could not pay
her way and was anxious to reach this
city, where she had relatives. The train
men escorted her from the train and then
quickly pulled out Of the station without
the girl presumably. She proved too
clever for them, however, and when the

she was with it. She refused to give
her name, and, bidding a curious throng

EushWhacking Insurgents will be
Summarily Death with by
the Government.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 15.-Isolated
bands of bushwhacking insurgents who
are caught by our forces in the Philip
pines are likely to be summarily dealt
with. At the cabinet meeting today the
matter was discussed at some length and
it was the general sentiment that the sit
uation demanded vigorous treatment. AS
long as the insurgents keep up show of
an army under semblance of discipline,
they will be treated as prisoners OF war
when captured but when they degener-
ate into isolated bands of marauders, har-
assing our forces by cold-blooded as
sassinatiOns, it is the judgment Of the
officers in command in the Philippines
and of the President and of the members
Of the cabinet that the situation demands
summary action.
