PENNY WALK AS A SPORT.
Now Why of killing Time Discovered
by "a Travelling Man While
in Boston.

"You might think that a travelling
mans time was fully occupied, but
there are occasions when he feels the
need of relaxation, and, although
theaters are well in their way, they
occasionally pail"
1t was suggested that the travelling
man might go to bed occasionally in
order to catch the morning train, but
this particular man would not listen
to that, says the Chicago Tribune.
''I was in Boston last week" said
he, land man put me onto some
thing new. The idea is like this. 1t
won't work in town where you're
acquainted, but say you are in a
strange place, it has its exciting ele-
ments. You go out of your hotel
in the evening, either alone or with
a man who is equally ignorant OF To-
calities, and you walk two blocks in
any direction. Then you halt and
toss a cent. Heads you turn to the
right; tails, you turn to the left
The next two blocks you repeat the
tossing up, and follow the indicator.
SO you keep on until you have twist
ed and turned all over the town. For
variety there is nothing " equal it;
it brings you into the strangest quar-
ters, and you see sights that you
would otherwise miss. Of course,
there Is a chance that you will dou--
BILE on your tracks, and come back
to where you started, but in that
case it is allowable to cheat, or take
another toss-up. Try it some time
when you are in a strange town and
you'll have more fun than a cat

ADVICE ON FRUIT EATING.
When 1t Causes Indigestion-some
of Its Curative Prop
critics.

The curative value of fruit is be-
coming more and more insisted upon
by those who make a study of diete-
tics. Grapes are recommended for
the dyspeptic, the consumptive, the
anaemic and for those with tenden-
cy to gout and liver troubles. Plums,
also, are said to be cure for equity
and rheumatic tendencies. The acid
fruits, especially lemons and oranges,
are particularly good for stomach
troubles and rheumatism.
1t is not sufficient, say the advo-
Gates of the fruit cure, to eat small
quantity at breakfast or dinner. One
should eat from two to eight pounds
of grapes asday, or, if oranges are the
curative agency, the number to be
eaten in a day may vary from three
to six.
a healthy condition of the body
depends upon perfect balance Of
foods taken. There are many other
factors entering into the question,
but this feature must not be forgot
ten, says the Syracuse Clinic. Few
people there are who can keep
healthy without fruit.
"How absurd" some one says, Ito
be told to eat fruit when everybody
eats it," Yes, but how do you eat
It? Do you take a definite amount Of
it, the same as you do of meat and
potatoes, or do you eat it as you do
candy?
If you suffer from an acute attack
of indigestion after dinner of soup,
meats, pickles, sauces, salad, cakes,
pastries with spices and condiments
enough to blister the skin, to say
nothing of the delicate lining Of the
stomach, pray do not aver that IN
digestion arises from the morsel of
fruit taken at the end.
Be honest with your stomach for
month. Eat no more than you need
of simple food, into which the true
luxuries of nature, such as apples,
oranges, pears or other fruit, shall
enter. Try, if only as an interesting
experiment, to eat sparingly of the
cruder articles of diet, and more of
those suited to your real needs, and
see to it that fruit forms a part OF
each meal.
"But there are so many fruits that
I cannot eat"
There it is again. Because you
cannot eat II kinds of food at one
meal ending with fruit, it of course,
was the apple, or the Strawberries
that did the harm.
"But doesn't fruit make the blood
thin?"
1t certainly does, and we are
mighty glad of it. Ask any doctor
who has practiced medicine for ten
years with his eyes open, and he will
tell you that the great majority of
grown up folks have blood too thick.
The minerals and natural acids of
the fruit are the very best conceiv-
able remedies for the thickened con-
dition of the blood. Fruit then be-
comes both food and a medicine
necessity and a most delightful

Twenty Ponnds OF Salt needed.

Although in treatises on dietetics
salt figures as a condiment, it is uni
versally recognized to be something
more; indeed, it is an indispensable
element of the food of man and ami
mails. A well known authority as
serts. says the Medical Press and
Circular, that whenever the annual
consumption Of salt falls below 20
pounds per head Of the population
the public health is likely to suffer.
The deprivation of salt does not pro-
duce a definite disease, but reduces
the vitality of the organism as a
whole, so that the victims of admin
istrative measures which restrict the
consumption of salt more readily fall
q prey to prevailing epidemics, as
well as to endemic maladies.-London

Advocate Lemley, which means, as far
as the department is concerned, that
further action on the Howison incident
will not be taken, that being left to the
court. In reply Schley says: in my let

opinion of the high personal character
of Howison and avoided any expression
of opinion as to the truth of the state
aents made in the newspaper clipping
which enclosed. 1t was with desire.
to avoid the necessity of asking for

statements he is alleged to have made.
and thus give him an opportunity to.
take such action as the sense ofIthe PRO-

therefore, respectfully state that the
department. has not placed the proper
construction upon my letter, when it
treated it in the nature of preliminary
