THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.

Also Few Facts on the Same Subject.
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living. about vege-
tariauism and many other fads along the
same line
Restaurants may be found in the
larger cities where no meat, pastry OF
coffee is served. and the food crank is
in his glory. and arguments and theories
galore advanced TO prove that meat was
never intended for human stomachs.
and almost make US believe that our
sturdy ancestors who lived four score
years in robust health on roast beef
pork. and mutton must have been gross
Iy ignorant Of me laws OF health
Our forefathers had other things TO do
than formulate theories about the food

are excellent guides to follow in matters

and meats is undoubtedly the best
Is compared with grains and vege-

Kestion is too feeble at first il may be

animal food in three hours. and no mat

PROTECTIVE POLICY.
Farmers Favor Organization Asains'

Canton, $. D., Nov. THE farmers
of northwestern Iowa and southeastern
South Dakota are agitated over the
horse and cattle thieves h a have be-
come a pest in the land during h past
year, and they are talking strongly OF
forming an organization to protect
themselves. The feeling is running 80
high in this sectfOn ugHinst tfffeSFes-es
this kind thai it will go hard with any
of them tina may be caught. The
amount of these depredations that have
been committed during h past year
Is surprising. Thousands of dollars
worth OF cattle, hogs and horses have
been stolen in almost every county,
and In South Dakota alone not less
than $4,000 worth Of such property
has been stolen in less than a single
year. The owners of live stock are
beginning TO realize that something
more vigorous than the ordinary cham
nels of justice must be adopted to pro-
tect property. and 1t Is no doubt prob
able that some action will be aiken at
an early day.

Has He Found It2

Polk, Ark, Nov. o. remedy that
will absolutely cure rheumatism has
been discovered by Mr.. George Hiland
Of this place. Mr.. Hiland is satisfied
that the remedy he has used is Il sure
cure, for it cured him of a very serious
case of Acute rheumatism when he
was so bad that he could not move.
This is what he says:
II was troubled with what is called
Acute Rheumatism in 1900. l was in
such shape that l could not move with
put help. l was treated by a physi-
clan, who helped me some. but l was
still in great pain when my wife saw
Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised as a
cure for rheumatism. She insisted ON
my trying them, and l felt better after
taking the first box. l continued. and
now l am well and able to work all
the time. l have found Dodd's Kidney
Pills to be just what they are claimed
to he. a perfect cure for rheumatism"
Mr.. Hiland's very positive statement
seems to settle all doubt as to wheth.
ar or not rheumatism can be cured.

Then he drew nearer. bowed himself
in %salutation and started in with Il
long speech. He did not get very far.
David cut him short with the question
that VAS uppermost i'm his own mind
and heart. is it we'll with the young
man." The messenger hesitated and
evaded an answer. He had plenty to
say about the battle. but he had not
courage to tell the father of the death
of his beloved son. So he was hidden
to stand aside as the other messenger,
the Cushite. or Ethiopian, was drawing
near. The only news that David want
ed "a news of Absalom.
This man, too. had a speech pre-
pared. He. also, was interrupted with
the question that had disconnected

messenger had no fine scruples he
promptly and exultantly blurted out

the gate, where the bitterness of his
grief broke forth unrestrained h
weeping king is a picture of sorrow, a
picture that has had its counterpart a
thousand times since, as parents have
mourned the death of children. The
individuality and poignancy of this be-
reavement are in Longfellow's lines:
THAT tits a common grief
Bringeth but slight relief;
Ours is the bittereSt loss
Ours Is the heaviest cross:
And forever the cry will be,
Would Coo l had died for thee,
o, Absalom, my SON."
1t was unmerited owe that David
poured forth so lavishly; but when is
love ever truly merited? Absalom's
worthlessness but made the kings sor-
row all the more noble n Godlike.
For in this picture we see a prototype
of great David's greater son as he
weeps over erring and lost men, and
offers his own life for theirs. We hear
the note of divine low for humanity
sounding through David's cry of hui
man love-perhaps the most intense in
language-"O, my son Absalom, my
son, my son, Absalom! Would l had
died for thee, o Absalom, my son, my
