Hot Weather Advice.

DIR. II. w. Wiley, chemist for the
department OF agriculture, who has
just concluded the first of the tests
relative to TODD personalities and
/ their effect on the human system. gives
/ his opinion on thu subject of summer
diet and the causes of hot weather sick
ness: One Of the most fragrant causes
OF sickness in summer is entirely oyer
/ looked by law, says be, and that is the
preparation of the soil for growing
vegetables for the market. | have on
several occasions called attention TO
eating vegetables grown on or under
ground which has been exposed to con-
taminatiOn from sewerage. city waste
or garbage. If poor people, especially
the very poor. would eat more cereals
physically and financially. For in
stance, wheat costs three cents pound
as against II cents for beef, that being
a fair average price for the cuts most
used. The pound OF wheat contains
ten per cent of moisture. while the
round of beef is more than half mois-
ture. You get more than twice the
nutriment from the three cents worth
of wheat than from the pound of beef
at fifteen cents. Summer drinks"
said DR.. Wiley, "are snares of the
devil, and the custom of constantly
dosing the stomach with ice-cold
drinks in summer is simply suicidal
and turns ones stomach into refrig-
orator. The extreme cold contracts
the pores through which the pepsin is
secreted and tend to congest the coats
of the stomach. When thirsty in hot
weather, one should drink water frou.
90 to 90 degrees. II good water, and |
all water should be sterilized before |
using, even large quantity of it will |
do no harm"

HOW 1T HAPPENED.

The weather man went on spree
one day in early June,
And while upon his jamborec
Went daily as "a loon.
He put the rain machine in gear
And threw away the key,
And then he drank a keg of beer
And laughed in booty glee.
And smashed the cyclone cock,
And then the safety valve he took
And put it up in hook.
He bought barrel of Jersey jack
The very worst of booze
And then crept underneath his shacL
And curled up lor a snooZe.
Upon the fourth night of July
He woke up with a start.
And saw fierce dragons in the sky
And fiery scrpents dart.
Just then a dcvil-chascr slowed
And scurried round his bed,
The while flower pot miscucd
And showered on his head
OF course he thought he had 'cm sure,
And straightway went and took
y mighty swig of Kelley cure
And drink fore'er forsOok.
SO now we'll have the weather right
At least for quite a spell,
Until again the chief gets tight
And raises Il merry school.

! OLD-TIME SKETCHES
1IIIItI nm
GIIIIitIttIr

We had a man in our California gold
brigade by the name OF Jack Mathews.
He had deserted and crossed the Rio
Grande at Fl Paso. but wandered back
on the American side and was arrested.
After many months he was tried
and sentenced to be shot, but kind old
Abe Lincoln held back his execution.
He was a prisoner with a ball and
chain at Fort Cummings, near Cooks
Peak. The fort had a camp OF wood
cutters out few miles. One day Jack
asked the privilege OF accompanying
the wood wagons. and the command
ing officer gave MS consent. but gave
strict orders for the guard to keep
close watch on Mathews and see that
he did not get away. Sergeant Brady
had charge of the camp and he put
Jack to cooking. Jack would take
hold of the chain and lift the great
iron ball up and walk around with it.
Just at daylight one morning as the
soldiers were getting up. the Apaches
attacked the camp. killing two soldiers
and wounding Sergeant Brady. Jack
was not hurt, but took a gun and belt
OF cartrides from one of the dead sol
diers. and made a great fight. Brady's
/ leg was broken, but he, too, did some
good shooting. They got behind a
stone fence built for their protection
and for hours kept the sayages at bay,
| in fact the Indians finally drew off.
Jack took Brady on his back and tied
/ up the iron ball and with their two
/ guns they started for Fort Cummings.
Soon after they left their shelter the
Indians again attacked them and kept
it up all the way to the fort, the boys
doing the best they could under the
circumstances. When they got in
sight of the fort the soldiers came out
and drove the Indians away. After
burying the dead letter was sent to
Washington telling the story. and as
a result he was returned to the service
with back pay. Now he had to return
to California for his discharge. When
they arrived in Frisco Captain Gre
mony wrote up Jack and Brady's fight,
aud the theatre gave them a benefit.
| As Mathews came on the stage leading
Brady, the house rang with cheers.
Captain Ceremony introduced them
and asked the audience to excuse them
from speaking, stating that they were
too modest to address such a kind
audience Amidst yells and screams
they left the theatre to fill up or
booze. They both came to grief within
a month through whisky. They were
both good sandy men, but strong
drink will knock out king. My adj
vice is to let it alone. CHS.
