The Drinking Of Pure water.

Occasionally people are met who
say they never drink, statement
which we are apt to regard as an
exaggeration; but as a general
statement this is true. There are
people who never drink, in the
sense that they never use a cup or
glass, and there are a large number
of people who certainly drink very
little. These people are healthy, do
good work, and often with far
greater comfort than the person
who is constantly drinking. This
relates to pure water, which is not
generally considered harmful. To
the majority, drinking is to a large
extent matter of habit and self-in-
diligence, with the result that much
more fluid is taken than is wanted,
and leads to fabbiness and discom-
fort.
In considering the amount of fluid
one ought to drink one must bear
in mind the quantity Of water con-
tained in our ordinary food. Ae-
cording to good authorities we may
take it that we require for ordinary
work about three times as much
water as of food, while if we look at
table in which the amount Of
water in various kinds of food is
given we find many articles carry
with them more than the ordinary
proportion. If. however, we par
take Of fluid in moderation, say 40
or so ounces a day, we are the bet
ter for it.

Whore Women Vote.

Miss Minnie j. Reynolds of Dem
YER. Colorado, one of the speakers
at the National Suffrage conference
recently held in connection with the
Pan American exposition, gave a
careful survey of the results of
women suffrage in her state. Among
other things she said
Before women were enfranchised
in Colorado there was no discussion
of politics at home 1t was all
down town. Nowadays the woman's
club and the bosom of the family
are the chief arenas for political dis
cussion. Sometimes our good
friends and allies, the anti-suffrag-
lists, talk as if that priceless thing,
woman's indirect influence, was to
be lost when she received the ballot.
1t is not lost at ALL 1t is all there /;
only it is exerted in a new direction.
1t isn't so much the things women
do themselves as the things they
make their men folks do, that tells
in Colorado.
1.-THE corrupt politician in Colo
RADIO does not like woman suffrage,
the idea of these women sitting at
home and discussing these things
He can't influence them, he can't
bribe them, he can't get at them to
talk to them. He can fool them for
a time, but he can't do it perma-
nently. He has to cover up his
dirty work a little closer he has to
push it under cover he has to take
more care about it; it bothers him
more. When the tickets are made
up there is another element to con
slider, and along with the Irish vote
and the colored vote and the saloon
vote, politicians who wish to win
have to consider the woman vote
! also. "

Capture Of Miss Stone.

The missionaries of the American
board of Boston located in Turkey
and on the borders of Turkey have
been exposed to numerous perils
during the last few years. The
women missionaries are no excep-
tions. In the mountains Of Turkey
are brigands whose business is to
rob and TO take prisoners and hold
them for ransom. One of their
latest victims is Miss Ellen Stone, a
Congregationalist missionary. She
and a companion were seized be-
tween Banake and Djoumania and
are now being held for a ransom of
$4,000. An effort is being made
TO raise this sum by popular sub
scriptions. Over sixty thousand
dollars has already been contributed
and it is believed the entire ransom
can be raised within a week.

POLITICS IN PHILADELPHIA.
What Durham and Martin Think Of
the Campaign Which Is
Now About to Be
Opened.

Caroline Cameron has seen and
talked with Israel w. Durham ID
David Martin on the political out
look for 1901 and will present in next
Sundays Press a remarkably inter-
esting story Of the impressions con-
veyed by these to political leaders.
Mr.. Durham, in particular, has gone
in more or less detail concerning the
needs of organization, and his views
will not only be instructive to
those persons who have had no ex-
perience in the field of politics, but
will be decidedly interesting to those
who have felt, from long experience,
that they knew all about the work
that is necessary to roll up MAORI
ties. If you have not already order
ed your copy of next Sundays Press
you had better do so at once.

Value Of Potatoes as Food.

The prolific yield, good keeping
qualities and pleasant flavor of the
potato have long made it n popular
article of food. Potatoes are class.
ed as starch food and it is chiefly
on this account that potatoes are
eaten. Being starch the potato is
valuable as a source of muscular en-
ergy, but only in a small degree
does it serve to build or repair the
body tissue. For this reason pota-
toes are generally served with
foods rich IN tissue making proper
ties, as meats, etc. The country
people of Ireland and Germany who
live largely on potatoes are thus so
poorly nourished. Eaten alone po-
tatoes form very badly balanced
diet. Potatoes which have been
stored q long time and have begun
to sprout should not be eaten, as
they are apt to contain an undue
amount of solanin or poisonous sub
stance. There have been numerous
cases of poisoning from this cause.

Game suppers the Fashion Here.
The law abiding citizens of Mil
ford have been sorely tempted in
the last few days by having quail
and pheasant enter their homes
through open doors and windows,
either seeking protection or like the
buck of Blooming Grove fame that
walked up to the hunter, who was
so paralyzed when confronted with
the opportunity to shoot big game
that he forgot to pull the trigger Of
his gun. The buck seeing his dilem-
ma politely refrained from escaping
and requested that he be shot, only
stipulating that the most approved
painless method be used to render
the operation perfectly safe and the
sensation pleasant. So these guile
less quail entered our homes but
like the fly of Mother Goose lore,
the invitation to enter the parlor
was enticing, but who enters once
shall ne'er come forth again.

PRosPEAoUs FARMERS.
They are Getting Their Full Share
Of the Good Times.

Of ths Good Times.
Testimony given through the De-
troit Free Press from one of the larg-
est savings banks in Detroit that the
farmers Of the tributary country are
making exceptionally large deposits
and appear to be contended with the
way the world is using them is in
the nature Of cumulative evidence.
Like reports come from almost every
part of the country and they carry
the greater weight because of an ac-
cepted tradition that the farmer is
never satisfied. The charge may be
false and the suggestion Of the present
situation is that the promoters of sg-
ricultural interest have been slander-
ed, but the explanation is in the ex-
ceptional degree Of prosperity. The
weather conditions of the season
have not been all that could be asked,
and if there be anything in the world
that can throw the average farmer
into the tantrums it is the weather.
There was a wall over the prospect
for corn and wheat, but we have a
surplus of these commodities to ship.
Only few weeks ago there was u
dOleful announcement that there
would not be enough potatoes to go
around, but the later crop proved a
good one, providing plenty and to
spare. II was held as a sad certain
that the drOuth would produce a
fruit famine, yet tens of thousands
of bushels of it have gone to waste in
the orchards, been fed to the hogs
and given away. The country was
to wriggle along without enough to-
matoes to appease its appetite, but
the supply exceeds the demand. AS
a positive fact there was not to be
enough grain to fatten stock for the
market, but nothing is called for in
the meat line that is not provided
without regard to size of the orders.
And the farmer is getting all the
best Of these false scares. He is re-
ceiving top-nOtch prices for every
thing he has to sell. In some lines
the trusts are helping him because it
is their interest to maintain good
prices for commodities obtained
through him. Incidental to helping
themselves the speculators help him
in other lines, and the danger with
the farmer in this mortgage-raising
epoch is that he will become arrayed
against the mighty army Of consum-
ers who are really providing the
sinews Of all this prosperity. They
are paying more for the privilege of
living than they would have to pay
were there no manipulation Of the
law of supply and demand. There is
an artificial addition to the actual
worth Of nearly everything entering
into household supplies. But no di.
rect blame attaches to the farmer and
the fact that he is prosperous to con-
tentment is a source Of satisfaction
to the rest of the country,

j. II. VAN ETTEN,
Dear Sir Your letter duly re-
ceived and my answer has been dc.
layed by the desire upon my par
to thoroughly investigate the sub.
ject before attempting a reply.
now sny nr owner or holder of cap
ital stock in n corporation or associ-
alton in this state is not a real estate
owner because of such holding.
There is a long line of decisions to
the effect that capital stock is per-
sonal property for all purposes in
this state the holder, then, of such
stock in a corporation or association
for sporting purposes would not be
exempt from the payment of the
ten dollars imposed by the recent
act of our Legislature requiring
mon resident hunters, the same
not being owners of real estate in
this state, to pay q tax before hunt
ing in this commonwealth. This
office also holds that the son of a
farmer of this state, said son having
removed his residence to another
state, may not return to this state
and hunt game upon his own faith
er's property, and which will be his
by inheritance this upon the
ground that the game of the state
belongs to the state at large, and not
to any particular class, even though
that class may own the real estate
upon which said game may be
found, and that being so owned the
land owner can grant no privileges,
whatever, contrary to the general
laws of the state. Visitors, there
fore, to the club houses IN your Sec
ton can acquire no rights by grant
from said bodies. Respectfully
