that the ever alert cartridges are not

occasion bear sprang suddenly from

them right before his eyes. Another

Many farms are not provided with

Bread Depends on Butter.

A physician who had made a special
study of dietetics once said that bread as
a food was chiefly valuable as vehicle
for butter. He regarded butter as one
of the best carbonaceous foods given to
man. Its condensed form and digest
ible quality furnished heat and energy
in pleasant and palatable form. Cheese
is a protein food. Milk is perfect food
for adult humans. as we'll as children
and calves. With good old cheese and
choice new butter, the staff of life is
mainly filling. We venture the state
ment that the much exploited modern
breakfast foods are chiefly valuable as
vehicle for cream.-Rural World.

Players Injured at San NIateo.

SAN MATEO, Dec. 13. - Neither
side scored in a game of football
played here to-day between the Ath-
letic Club eleven and Company t,
League of the Cross, Menlo Park.
Both teams played in fine form. san
Mateo was outweighted an average of
seven pounds. Walter de Mara, their
best player, was absent, and only their
grit saved them from defeet. The
grass was slippery and aided inter-
ference which kept the runs down.
But three kicks were made, one each
by the Dickie brothers of the Ath-
letics, in which twenty yards were
gained, and one by Menlo. in which
eight yards were lost. Neither goal
was ever in danger.
Goodhue of San Mateo and Doyle of
Menlo Park were injured. The latter
was so badly hurt about the head that
he is confined to his bed. Doyle re-
covered in time to return home with
his team.
