\ Kansas City doctor yesterday
told the following to Journal re-
porter as some of the rules for hot
weather to enable one to escape inter-
nal explosions of "a serious nature.
They are just as good here:
Don't drink ice water. 1t eXcites
the stomach and sweats way out too
soon.
Don't drink whiskey it is too hot.
Don't drink too much soda.
Don't swear off on ices and
ice cream. They are cooling.
Don't forget that a lemon and a
pineapple positively the best friends
man has this weather.
Don't forget that peach, not too
ripe, is second choice for cooling
effect.
Don't eat candies.
Don't eat the lean meat; fat is not so
bad,
Don't forget the bowels. They are
easily headed OIL either way

ing. Last Sunday five laboring men
died because they had nothing to do
but think.
Don't bother about the little debts;
let the other fellow sweat.
Don't neglect the bath.
Don't rub the flesh hard with towels.
Mop rather than rub
Don't go in for beer.
Don't forget cracked Ice creates n
thirst.
Don't go in for patent medicines too
heavily.
Don't drink water unless it is
boiled.
Don't give the baby so much sugar
in its milk. Sugar ferments in the
stomach.
Don't think filter is the whole
thing. Boil the water.
Don't eat much meat. Go in for

The back aches at times with dull
indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; shooting pains
across the region of the kidneys, and
again the loins are so lame to stoop

plaster to the back in this condition.
You cannot reach the crush. Ex-
change the bad back for q new and
stronge one; follow the example of
this lola citizen:
Mrs. Susan T.. Post, of 520 No.

aching seated itself in my back and

Gas City Depot Robbed.

Some man with "a champagne taste
and beer income who has wearied of
hot weather and desires to go to a
summer resort entered the depot at
Gas City Sunday night and helped
himself to what he could find. He
was so unlucky as to seeure not cent
of money, but with laudable desire
to do the best he could he helped him
self two TO suits of clothes, two razors
and a revolver, all the property of the
operator. The razor deal would seem
to indicate gentleman of color as the
busy party. There is no clue and little
chance that the thief will be appre-
hended.

Fire in Northrup Building.

There was Il small blaze in the big
Northrup Bank building Tuesday
that few people knew about. Mrs.
Officer and daughters have their mill
inery parlors on the second floor and
do light housekeeping in one OF the
rooms. Yesterday they were prepar-
ing meal and had attached u small
stove to the gas jet, A stray breeze
wandered in at the window, grabbed a
lace curtain and threw itinto the flames
where it caught fire and was quickly
consumed. The ladies were naturally
excited and tore down the curtain and
tramped out the fire. This process
aroused considerable wonder on the
floor below where the unusual tramp
of feet was not understood.

Grubbs children set fire to the vacant

PEOPLE. NOT PAPERS.

A written constitution is the only
safe guard of the liberties of the peo-
ple.-W. j. Bryan.
1t is the people themselves and not
any written document who are the
safeguard of liberty. If the constitu-
tion of the United States were ex.
plunged from all the records, and even
the memory that there had ever been
such a document blotted out Of the
minds of men, this would yet be fire c
country. 1t is not because ii Is writ
ten in the bill of rights that we have
trial by jury, religious freedom,
equality before the law, free speech,
the right of petition and peaceable as
sembly, the right to keep and bear
arms; but because it is written in the
hearts of the people.
Mexico has written constitution,
as liberal in most provision as our
own. And yet man, ansAmerican
too, who was arrested there two years
ago charged with Il crime has never
yet been brought to trial, but has lain
in prison. apparently forgotten. And
incarcerated with him has been an
other American who has been held
simply as a witness all these two
years. That is what happens in Mex
leo, in spite of written constitution.
Such thing as that could not happen
in this country If we had never heard
OF constitution.

Lawrence Journal: The Topeka
Capital quotes w. c. Lansdon as say
ing that he has decided not to run
for congress in this district. Which

also quotes Tom Kelly as saying there

sock; all OF which the Capital seems to
regard as news" The Kansas City
Journal also puts in its oar and says
that while Mr.. Bowersock will no
doubt get a unanimous nomination,
yet he may conclude to pass II up in
order to make the fight for United
States Senator. Which is another

second district man. Mr.. Bowersock

any other man in the State, and keep
them all at the right temperature, and
you can bet your newest shirt waist
that il he does enter the race for the
United States senate, he will not for
moment let the congressional office get
in the way of the other job, nor will
he permit any hopes he may have of a
senatorship interfere with his holding
a frm grip on the Office he has al

disciple of Abraham Lincoln to per-
nit himself to undertake to swap
horses in the middle of the river.
