CHOICE In COLOR OF MEAT.
1t II a Fallacy to Suppose That White
II More Desirable
Than Dark.

In recent series of articles pub
lished in a German medical journal,
Drs. Offer and Roseenquist deal with
the opinion that has been accepted by
many that white meats are more suit
able for the sick, owing to greater di-
gestihility and the presence of less
uric acid and heterogeneous extractive.
This belief is shaken by the analyses
made by the medical men referred to-
which show that while white meats
such as poultry and fish, do in certain
cases. as fish and fresh venison, con-
tain less eXtractive and heterogeneous
derivatives, the average amount does
not appreciably differ in dark and
white meats such as poultry. veal, beef,
pork, mutton, etc., to make either pref
cradle.
They point out that the only way of
limiting the ingestion of these dele
ferrous extractive and heterogeneous SUBJ
stances is by diminishing the amount
ofmeat taken, ra Their than by forbidding
dark meats. They also assert that
among the eXtractive present in meat
the most important ones are by no
means harmful if taken in small guam
titles, as is ordinarily done. The same
holds good as regards the other or
ganlc extractives which are nitrogen

BIG INDIANS AT WAR.
Bloody Feud Now Raging In tho
Gage Nation Over the Cues
ton of Chfefship.

: A civil war is raging in the Usage
Indian nation, south of Wichita, Kan.
It is caused, says local exchange, by
the fact that Peter Bigheart and
Eagle Chief, two rich and influential
Indians, want to be chief of the tribe.
AS only one can be elected, the feud
that has been started threatens to
Guido the Kentucky struggle SO far
as bloodshed goes. Already 20 In
dams have been assassinated on &C
count of the bitterness between these
two factions, and the fight has just
commenced.
The fight commenced four years
ago. Eagle Chief and Bigheart were
then candidates for chief, and Big
heart won. Eagle Chief accused his
rival of fraud, and in the contest that
followed four or five Indians were
killed The defeated candidate repre-
sents the progressive element, and the
present chief is in favor Of running all
the white men out of the country and
going back to the first days of saw
agery. Notwithstanding his backward
ways, he is the richest man in the
tribe. and is said to be worth over
100000. He has made it all since
he has been chief. By securing the
passage of bills favorable to his oil
wells and the extensive mines he owns,
he has amassed a big fortune from
his Office. These facts are being
made good use of in the campaign
against him, and they are telling on
the influence of the big chieftain,
On the other hand, Eagle Chief is
accused of trying to play into the
hands OF the whites by favoring allot-
ment. Many campaign stories have
been spread, in which there is not a
grain of truth, and this has only
served to add fuel to the flames.
Each man has large following.

HOW PLANTS GAIN WEIGHT.
Their Growth in AvOrdupois Comes
Wholly from Gas in
the Air.

AS far as is known the first botanical
experiment ever performed was con-
Quoted by a Dutchman. He placed in
pot 200 pounds of dried earth, and in it
he planted willow branch which
weighed five pounds. He kept the VIII ole
covered up and daily watered the earth
with rain water. After five years
growth the willow was again weighed
and was found to have gained 1854
pounds. The earth in the pot was cried
and weighed and had lost only two
ounces.
Thee xperimentalist, therefore, looked
upon this experiment disappearing the
theory that plants required no food but
water. But he was wrong. Later it
was discovered that much of the in
crease in weight of plants was derived
from carbonic acid gas in the air.
Vegetable cells contain a LIQUID
known as cell sap" which is water
holding in solution various materials
which have been taken up from with
out by the roots and leaves. Thus it is
in the living cells of the plant that
those "digestive" processes are carried
on which were once believed to occur
in the soil

THE MESSENGERS DIVERSION.
A Bit of Comedy Between Trains at
New York Elevated Rail-
road Station.

A messenger boy, small, trim, reticent
and deliberate in his movements,
walked up the steps of Sixth avenue

New York Sun, went quietly along the
passageway between the ticket sellers
window and the ticket choppers box,
and there dropped his ticket. The tick
ct chopper being at that moment stand
ing, stretching his legs, the messen-
ger kept on around the ticket box and
dropped in the ticket choppers chair
without word or look for anybody.
81 guess you were born tired" said
the ticket chopper. No reply from the
messenger.
When the next passenger dropped a
ticket in the box the messenger boy
reached forward and grasped the ham
die of the lever and raised it up and
let the ticket fall down from the hop
per into the box below. throwing the
lever up through it's full sweep slowly.
but to the limit with a manner that
was at once languid and precise.
''There-that1l do" said the ticket
chopper. "Pll attend to that part
of it,
Still paying no attention to him, the
messenger got up and walked away,
He had chopped one ticket, that's all
he wanted to chop; and now he strolled

BROKEN BRIC-A-BRAS

! Mr. Major, the famous cement man, Of New

Gle know that it is many hundred per cent.
! better than other dement's for which similar
| claims are made but a great many do not
/ know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
| and other manufacturers do not use Them be-
| cause they are too expensive and do not allow
| large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that of
! the elements of his cement costs So. Is pound
! and another 81 IS gallon, while large share
| OF the so-called cements and liquid glue upon
the market is nothing more than 16-cent glue,
dissolved in water or citric acid, and in soma
cases, altered slightly in color and odor by the
| addition OF cheap and useless materials.
| Majors Cement retails at Is cents and 20
cents bottle, and when dealer tries to sell
substitute you can depend upon it that his
only object is to make larger profit
The profit on Majors Cement is as much
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr.. Ma

The Republicans of Dodge county
have, to say the least, an inequitable
basis of representation in their county
conventions. They allow three dele
gates to every voting precinct, no
matter how many or how few Republi-
4Ssan votes are cast. The Horizon Re-
porter calls attention to the fact that
under the existing basis ward in the
city of Horizon with fourteen Republi
can voters has just as large a represen-
tation as the town of RubicOn with
200 Republican voters. At the last
county convention S. r. Jones, of
Hustisford, endeavored to have passed
a resolution changing the basis to one
delegate for every thirty Republican
votes cast but it was tabled.
