HOW MUCH FOOD TO EAT.
Smallest Amount, According to Thin
Rule, That Will Preserve Health.

ndIOg nav ~ tSSaS's
The Century: How shall one deter
mine, then, how much food to eat? Too
much mystery has been thrown about
this subject. Let your sensations de-
eide. 1t must be kept In mind that the
entire function of digestion and assimi-
lation is carried on without conscious
supervision or concurrence. II should
be entirely unfelt and unknown, except
Ing by the feeling of bien-etre which &C
companies and follows It's normal &C
complishment. Safety Is bad. 1t i'm
plies a sensation Of fullness In the re-
gion Of the stomach, and that means
that too much food has been taken. The
exact correspondence, in a healthy
animal, between the appetite and the
amount of food required Is extraor-
binary. AS a rule, the meal, unless eat
en- very slowly, should cease before the
appetite Is entirely satisfied. Because q
little time is required for the outlying
organs and tissues to feel the effects OF
the food that has been ingested. II too
little has been taken 1t is easy enough
to make 1t up at the next meal, and the
appetite will be only the better n the
food more grateful.
No one was very sorry for having
voluntarily eaten too little, while mil
lions every day repent having eaten too
much. 1t has been said that the great
lesson homeopathy taught the world
was this: That, whereas physicians had
been in the habit Of giving the patient
the largest dose he could stand, they
had been led to see that their purpose
was better subserved by giving him the
smallest dose that would produce the
desired effect. And so 1t Is with food.
Instead OF eating, as most people I'M
fortunately do, as much as they can,
they should eat the smallest amount
that will keep them in good health.

a Physicfan's Advice.

Yorktown, Ark, March 7th.-Dodd's
Kidney Pills must not be confounded
with the ordinary patent medicine.
They are q new discovery, a specinc
for all diseases Of the Kidneys and
have been accepted by physicians only
after careful tests In extreme cases.
DR.. Leland Williamson, OF this place,
heartily endorses Dodd's Kidney Pills
ms a remedy for the various forms OF
tie diseases Of the Kidneys, pains In
the back, soreness In the region OF the
Kidneys, foul smelling urine and
cloudy or thickened conditions OF the
urine, discharges Of pus or corruption,
Govt, Rheumatism, Inflammation and
Congestion Of the Kidneys and all kin
dred complaints" Continuing he says:
Il could mention many cases IN
which I have prescribed Dodd's Kidney
Pills with success. For instance, Mr..
Robert Weeks, farmer, malaria haema'
turia or swamp fever three times, kid
e weakened, continual pain and
soreness in back, which made him very
nervous, had a little fever and some
times chilly. Urine c~hangeable, but
generally very ~high-colored, an OLD
chronic case who had taken much med
lcine with little effect. After taking
Dodd's Kidney Pills about six weeks
he was entirely cured and had gained
fifteen pounds in weight. The last
time I saw him he was the picture OIL
perfect manhood"

Spearfish, g. d., March 4s-Miss ..
Henrietta Carlisle Kent, one OF the
strongest and most unique feminine
characters OF Wyoming, who has for
many years held a ranch near the Dew
rs Tower. died during the past week
Of blood poisoning resulting from the
bite OF a pet dog. She left an estate
valued at from $780, 900 to $4,000. her
principal heir being a niece, Miss Han
cock, who has been summoned from
ireland. Twenty years ago she located
IN Wyoming and at one time endeav-
bred TO hold a quarter section or n
sbmracing the Devils Tower. one or
the greatest wonders of the northwest,
an immense column OF igneous rock
over 500 feet high, measured from It's
base. Her application was rejected,
and the DEVILS Tower was included In
A national reservation by which several
sections were withdrawn from entry.
The lady owned several hundr head
Of horses and cattle and had for years
kept scores OF dogs OF all breeds about
her house. Several weeks g one or
the animals playfully bit her in the
face, removing the end OF the nose.
Blood poison followed and resulted in
her death. Her funeral was held at
5undance, the county seat Of Crook
county, Wyoming. The lady's eccen-
tricities are betrayed In her will
whereby she directs that all her pet
dogs and several OF her choice horses
be chloroformed to prevent their fall
ing into the hands OF strangers.

Heavy Forces Being Landed on Main
land for 40 preaching Conflict.

land for Approaching Conflict.
London. March Little change In
the far eastern situation Is reported
this morning. 1t is apparent that the
Japanese are busily engaged In trans
porting their forces into Korea, n
this work is being facilitated by the
enforced inactivity of the navy.
According 10 the Sebastopol CORE
spondent OF the Daily Graphic, Ad-
miral Skrydloff has learned privately
from Port Arthur that the Russian
battleship Retvizan lies in such a po-
sition as to block effectually the exit
Of the battleships from the haroor, the
passage being practicable only for
cruisers.
The correspondent adds that Rus
sia's new battleships now on the Baitc
will be ready for active commission
before the end Of August.
The Japanes official who has charge
of Japan's financial and commercial
interests in England declares that his
government foresaw the possibility or
coal being contraband Of war, n that
II has being collecting large stores or
WEIGH steam coal for years, so that
today 1t has a supply sufficient for the
needs Of the navy for years to come.
The recent Japanese elections re-
suited rather favorably to the minis
terialists, without greatly altering the
strength Of political parties there.
According to the Toxic correspond
ent of the Standard the mikado has
sent a personal message to the emperor
of Korea assuring him that wal was
declared solely with the view OF secur-
ing permanent peace, and expressing
the sincere wish that the recently con-
/ Guided Japanese-Korean protocol
should increase the intimacy of the
,wo countries.
