COLD WEATHER IS a coon TONIC.
Repairs Injuries Done to the System
by the Heat of Summer.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Many persons regard the winter season
as an unfortunate visitation. II Is cons.d-
cred both uncomfortable to the body and
harmful to health. This is an error. Cold
is a most potent agent for the restoration
and preservation Of normal activity on the
part of the organs of the human body. IT
is a vice plan of Providence which gives
US a change OF seasons. The winter cold
comes as a tonic to repair the injuries
done by the enervating heat Of summer.
Summer Ii is true, has many wise uses I'm
the matter of health. II induces outdoor
life, rids the system OF poisons through
copious perspiraton and through the
scorching rays Of The sun destroys germ
life.
Winter Is the great bracer Of the sys-
TEN. 1t stimulates activity in every or
gan. When cold attacks the surface of the
body the blood Is set into more free circu-
iation as a means of bodily warmth. II is
through the circulation Of the blood that
the human anatomy is kept In state Of
repair. When The food has been digested
and converted into liquid form II Is taken
UP by the blood and carried the rounds Of
the system for The purpose Of repairing the
waste places. When the cold causes In
creased circulation it also brings about
more perfect nutrition. Through increased

CHEWING COCA LEAVES.


Sucre (Bolivia) Letter to the Chicago Rec
ord
The Indians regard the coca with ex-
treme reverence. Won Tschudi, the Aus
TRAN scientist, who made a most thorough
study of the ancient customs of the Incas,
says: During divine worship the priests
chewed coca leaves. and unless they were
supplied with them Il was believed that tho
favor of the gods could not be gained IL
was also deemed necessary that the sup
plicator for divine grace should approach
the priests with an acullico IN his mouth
II was believed that any business under
taken without the benedicti0n OF coca
leaves could not prosper, and to the shrub
itself worship was rendered. During an
interval Of more than three hundred Years
Christianity has not been able to subdue
this deep rooted idolatry. for everywhere
we find traces Of belief In the mysterious
powers OF this plant. The excavators in
the mines Of Cerro del Pasco throw chew
ed coca upon the hard veins of metal in
the belief that it softens the ore and rem
ders Il more easy to work. The Indians
even at the present time put coca leaves
in the mouths of dead persons IN order to
secure them a favorable reception on their
entrance into another world, and when q
Peruvian on a journey falls In with a

USED DIAMONDS IN A MUD PIE.
Extraordinary Freak of "A Young
ster With an Eye to the Artistic.


From the Indianapolis Journal.
1t was the mad, sweet thrill of the cake
walk and the making of mud pies which
led Johnny Downing Johnson, aged 8
years, and Otto Walter Lieber, aged 5, of
Woodruff place, to do a thing in the last
week that led to great anxiety in the
breasts of the older folk. Johnny Down
ing johnson and Otto Walter Lieber made
their way to the back lots one day and
proceeded to the manufacture of mud pies
After an artistic batch of this pastry had
been prepared Johnny Downing Johnson
and Otto Walter Lieber mutually agreed
on cake walk which should be graced
with an exceptionally beautiful prize. OF
to Walter Lieber went to his back porch
and distracted quantity of plaster of
paris, while Johnny Downing Johnson
procured from his mothers dressing room
a handsome brooch set with twenty-four
diamonds and four pearls. It was incOn-
venient for him to speak to his mother
about the matter and he did not take the
time to do so.
How the. cake walk proceeded, IT, in
deed, it was not forgotten In the press of
emergencies which are constantly arising
in such businesses as those in which
Johnny Downing johnson and Otto Walker
boys having dismissed 1t as a mere Incl
dent in tense careers. When Johnny
Downing Johnson's mother discovered the
loss of her brooch which was after John
ny Downing johnson and Otto Walker
Lieber had passed into innocent slumbes
to refresh themselves for the labors of
the morrow, she Immediately made inquiry
at the home of Otto Walker Lieber. No
more satisfaction could be obtained from
the sleepy Otto Walker Lieber than from
the sonnolent Johnny Downing Johnson.
The next morning the neighbor women
gathered and the boys were subjected to a
questioning which combined the logical Sc
quence of Sherlock Holmes method and
the Vivacity and insistence of the procedure
of French courtmartial. Something about
mud pies and a cake walk was finally
ELECTED, and this information, coupled with
observation of plaster of paris tracks on
the carpets in both homes, led to the fear
that the diamonds might have been -four
ed for the purpose of sugaring a plaster
Of paris cake.
Search parties were organized, and the
plaster of paris cake was found. 1t was
carefully broken into pieces, but the
brooch was not found. The trail was not
given up, and the result was that num-
Der of mud pies were revealed one of
which when open gave up the brooch.
Johnny Downing Johnson and Otto Wal
ter Lieber received the startling news Of
the find with great nonchalance.
