Economical Man.

The native pointed out to the stran-
ger an old man who was passing.
"That man." said the native,
"beats the world on close figuring"
Makes little money go long
ways, does he?'
"Well, rather. Last winter no put
revolving doors into big building
that he owns, and he neser took them
out again all summer"
"Pure matter of economy?"
Exactly"
Rather small and mean, I should
think. The cost Of taking out and
pudsing back the revolving door ought
not to be great, and he's giving his
tenants and their patrons lot Of un.
necessary labor.
'That's just it," explained the
native. "He's making them worl
for him for nothing. Why, he stores
up the power generated by those doors
and uses it to run the elevators. Why,
the man is 80 close that he doesen' t
get mad, because he thinks his anger
would cause him to give out heat that
he'll need in the winter. Chicago

Tho Sign Of the Three Balls.

The three gilded balls used by
pawnbrokers are the three gilded
pills which the Florentine banking
house of the Medici assumed as
their arms when they became
wealthy The founder Of the fam

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles
and still another for bones. A cor.
rect diet will not only nourish a par
ticular part of the body, but it will
sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, it's nut
riment is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses OF
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates
the liver to healthy action, purifes
the blood. and makes you feel buoy
ant and vigorous. You can get this
reliable remedy at Ksufmann's Drug
Store. Get Greeu's Spe cial Almanac.

BRAIN WORK..
Its Eject Upon the Body and the
Kind OF Food 1t Demands.

Its Eject Upon the Body and the
Kind of Food 1t Demands.
The changes of tissue in the brain
that take place during study and
thought are very important and very
rapid. It has been estimated that three
hours Of brain work cause as great an
exhaustion Of the forces Of the body as
an entire day of manual labor.
This waste must be replaced by
abundant food, but it's selection re-
uuires careful consideration and often
self denial, for many things which the
physical worker can eat with perfect
impunity are slow poison to the brain
worker, who exercises the brain at
the expense Of the body and rarely
gives the latter sufficient exercise to
counteract the mental strain and keep
it in condition to resist disease. Bear
in mind that, while the waste OF the
body is much more rapid, the depriva-
ton Of physical exercise encourages
torpidity Of the voluntary functions
and renders them sluggish in eliminat-
ing these wastes; therefore it is Of the
utmost Importance that the tasks i'm
posed upon them Should be light.
Brain workers require the most con-
centrated and easily digested foods.
They should eat fresh beef and NUT
ton, fish. eggs-cooked in many forms.
but never hard boiled or fried-oysters
and crisp Salads lettuce, chicory, toma-
toes, watercress, ETC., with mayonnalse
or French dressing. They should begin
the day with fruit and make it form
the principal part of luncheon and be
very sparing in their use of cereals,
eschewing entirely white bread and
oatmeal. Their ideal luncheon, which
must be light if they continue to work
in the afternoon, is glass of milk or
cup Of hot chocolate or, better still,
glass Of fresh buttermilk, with two or
three graham waters Oh bit of toast
and some fruit, an apple, figs or an or
ange.

he stepped inter that b'artrap. l used

the way that ghost hooted beat my

lit up and dressed myself and wasn't
in no great hurry either. The hootin'
