Pure Food.

After reading the conclusions Of
The recent pure food congress and
listening TO scientists and vege.
tarians, one does not know what to
NUt uza a,,a~huagrr. in the good
old fashioned way, we do not know
whether it is best to dynamite cur
digestion or let the pangs of hunger
gnaw at our vitals.
If some conclusions we read are
correct, q persons stomach should
have been lined with copper instead
of the material used by nature.
The dried beef we pay 20 cents a
pound for, may be nothing but evap.
Grated horse.
With our beefsteak embalmed and
our ham and gravy saltpetered until
il is as tasteless as fried ashes, what
rs a man to do who is yearning for
one of those good old fashioned
meals like his mother used TO cook?
Bologna and pressed ham have
gone beyond the point to be contem.
plated by the naked eye, and fresh
pork is simply kindergarten for
trichina.
1t science continues TO cut down
eur bill of fare, what can we eat
with any assurance that our diges
lion won't balk and look around in
our face like horse that won't pull
an empty buggy down hill?
1t is almost impossible to con-
ceive of menu not menacing to the
public health.
Fresh bread lays as heavy on the |
stomach as brick, and hot biscuit
will make you stoop shouldered with |
pain before you reach the glad noon
day OF life.
If your -four is roller process and |
extra white it has been robbed of its
hood qualities.
Then the baking powders are
loaded with amonia and the average |
butter could back a man off of a |
bridge.
We no sooner resort to graham
bread than up hobs a scientist who
tells US that brown bread is no
better than sawdust.
Then nothing is left but corn
bread and crackers. The house eat
will leave home before II will eat the
sormer and the latter is eaten up by |
sHi.sode.
When we eat potates they tell US
they ars starchy, filing, but unprof. |
liable, and that dog will starve to |
death on them in twenty days.
Cucumbers are incubators for the |
colic' and the man who would in
dulge in green corn is no better than
. SUICIDE.
Tomatoes conduce TO cancer and
nobody who ever saw q cancer wants
tomatoes.
Radishes are nothing but wood
pulp and water and nothing is so
good 10 help along dyspepsia.
Strawberries sre little better than
poison on the stomach, and rasp-
berries are traught with thoughts of
appendicitis.
Milk is full of tuberculosis and
The man who patronizes the milk
man expects to die early of con-
sumption.
Eggs produce bihousness and fish

Sun ExpI0des Dynamite O..

Joplin, Nc, June pa strange
story of an explosion of dynamite
by the SUMS rays was brought in
to-day from the Turkey Tracks zinc
mines, near Aurora, Mo. Last Tues
day, while the miners of the Tur-
key Track mines were at work in
the ground they left half dozen
sticks of dynamite 10 an open box
net far from the shaft. The day
was very warm, and just before noon
the rays of the sun, becoming focus
ed on the dynamite, caused its ex-
plosion. Some of the holster men,
who witnessed the strange explosion
narrowly escaped.

Take care of the pennies and the

small things we are in effect taking care
OF the large things which the small

itself. But who takes care of such
