The Trading Stamp.

Manager Gsmble of the Trading Stamps Company has not yet returned to Selma in response to e telegram sent him by
 Major J. C. Crompton his attorney, de- vising him of the strong fight being made against the company by the city. It Is understood from reliable persons that the Trading Stamps Company will carry the struggle as far as possible, and it believes that 1t will win in tho courts.
 The matter is attracting much atten- ton and a question of interest arises as to the interpretation of the section of the criminal code which Is alleged to cover the case. This is section 4s08 and Is di- rected against lotteries and enterprises of like nature. The city authorities con- tend that the phrase, gift enterprise" in this statute is directed against busi- ness like the one which the Trading Stamps Company is conducting in Selma. and that a stamp trade business is in con travention of this statute, whether or not an element of hazard enters into it. The Trading Stamps Company. on the other hand, contends that the words quoted mean a gift enterprise into which chance enters, and that its business is, therefore, legal.

The Lem Om.

The lemon contains various acids,
citric acid among them, with citrate Of
potash, and these acids oxidize In the
blood into carb0nates of potash and
carbonic acid. AS scurvy is believed to
be due to lack Of potash salts in the
blood. we see how substances like lem
ons. potatoes and fresh vegetables gen.
orally act as preventives of the all
ment. Also in rheumatism, in which
1t is desirable to maintain the alkaline
character of the blood. lemons arc of
service. Beyond this l do not think
anybody can vaunt the properties of
the fruit. A healthy person has no
more need of lemons than of. say. tea.
for his ordinary food will supply him
with all that Is necessary for the
maintenance of sound body. People
who talk about lemons rs good for the

"One of the queerest facts about the

Turned on the Gas.

Here IS story of the late Paui
Rainey, the coke magnatc, ana MS
friend the late Charles Latimcr emil
nent engineer. Mr.. l.atimer was
firm believer in the peculiar virtues OF
the divining rod. He used 1t with SIN
gular success. He wrote pamphiTt
about 1t. He was widely known as
supporter Of the claims that were
made for it, Consequently when his
friend Rainey Went ahead ana bored
for natural gas without consulting Mr..
I.atimcr and his divining rod the cnGi-
ncer felt hurt and n little provoked.
"Why, man." he said, "hcre you've
gone ahead and let blind chance guide

Rainey.

struck You'll see. 1t can't last, / tell
you. Youee made one Of the biggest
mistakes of your life"
And thereafter every tlmc ME-. l'atl-
mer met Mr.. Rainey he berated him
for scorning the dvining rod and
warned him that his gas supply would
soon be exhausted.
Mr. Ralney began to expect this at
tack every time Mr.. Latimer came In

teract 1t by saying, But the gas still

The Atlas, n London newspaper, pub
ushed on Jan. 10. 1880. the following
paragraph under the head of "lnstan-
taneous Light: Among the different
methods invented for obtaining light
instantaneously ought certainly to be
recorded that of Mr.. Walker. chemist,

chaser with prepared matches, which

paws small heed to the claims OF health.
He eats anything. anyhow, anywhen,
and anywhere. He doesn't eat crusts
by any means nor spare his purse to hll
his stomach. The mistake he makes IS
In thinking that when a man has hlled
his stomach, that is the end of the bust
ness of feeding. Instead of being the
end of feeding it's only the beginning.
There is no value in food unless 1t Is
digested, converted into nutrition and
assimilated. These processes depend
upon the healthfulness Of the stomach
and the other organs of digestion and
nutrition. When these organs are dis
eased they cannot extract the nutrition
from the food received into the stomach
and the body becomes weak through
LACY of nourishment. One day this
wweakness" begins to find special de-
yelopment In some chief organ, heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys. etc, to which the
man succunbs. The doctors certificate
reads uheart disease, )" ckidney disease"
as the case may be.
But the real reading Of the certificate
should be:
STARVED TO DEATH.
The truth of this statement is appar-
ent. The body is sustained by food
digested and assimilated. But the body
Is made up of its parts and organs, and
when the stomach is vweak," digestion
imperfect, and the nutrition extracted
from food inadequate to the needs OF the
body, the result is shared by every part
and organ of the body. For this reason
no man is stronger than his stomach.
and no organ sustained by the stomach
can be stronger than the stomach.
Therefore when we hear OF "weak" "
stomach we are pretty sure we are going
TO hear in time Of wweak heart, "weak"
lungs, wweak kidneys, or weakness OF
some other organ of the body dependent
on the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition.
Now these things being true when
man has heart utrouble," liver "trouble,"
