persons who are fond OF starchy foods are,
largely out OF proportion in the abdominal
regions.
Now you will observe that while my
face is full, and my arms large and muscu
lar, have no super1uous fat on me any
where. This is not a result produced by
exercise, nor are my muscular arms pro-
duced by manual work. Both are due to
a perfect diet, which gives me everything

There is no starch in nuts and raw fruits.
Many vegetables abound in starch.
Corn is about the least injurious. 1t is
largely composed of sugar. Vegetables
are not natural foods for man. but weeds
and roots cultivated by him. Most of them
suck up water and salts from the ground,
without their being refined, as they always
are in the fruits.
THE water, salt and sugar which nuts
and fruits contain are sucked up from the
ground by the roots Of the trees and then
ascend through the trunk. boughs, branches
and twigs, down the stem, and into the fruit
In this long filtering process they are
thoroughly distilled and refined and reach

a bit of both in our systems, and of iron,
copper and sulphur as well.
Different trees absorb different metals
and in the fruits these are drawn to the
surface by the sun and form the various
colors which we behold in the skins. Never
pare fruit, therefore. When you do so you
cut away the metals necessary to your
system.

though she is not a strict frugivor.
"You see. it is rather hard to keep to such
a restricted diet" she explained.
Il must say, however, that never felt

when lived entirely on nuts and fruits.
THE cost Of the diet Is about the same
as that Of ordinary fare. In s4hnmer it
is, perhaps, little cheaper; and then it
always saves in cooking, dishw ASKING and

which is to all farmers their greatest
horror.
This place close to Indianapolis is only
a sample OF what many of the large farms
are throughout the State, for the farmers
are quick TO see the advantage OF light and
power. which they can have at small
expense. The telephone is also great ad-
vantage TO them, for they can keep In
touch with the markets without having 70
come to town, and in this way they know
exactly when to sell their products to get
the highest figure.
The rural routes afford many advan-
tages to the country resident from the fact
that he can get his letters promptly and
he can also receive the daily papers the
same as the man in the city, and in this
way can keep abreast Of the times. he
knows, too. what is going on in the world
the same as the man who resides In town
The interurban roads take him 10 the city
whenever he wishes TO go, and as these
roads now extend to all parts OF the State,
farmers Of every region have about the
same advantage I'm regard TO them.
In many places in the State power plants
are springing up, which furnish electricity
TO number of farms, similar TO the power
companies in the city. These plants are
mostly located at points where waterways
are plentiful and especially where old mills
used 10 be located. The men who are
promoting these enterprises have, in many
instances, rebuilt the old dams and nave
had the old mill races dug out. IL Is said
that each dam and race will yield from
100 TO 200 horsepower and the electrical

economy.
So cheap is this power furnished that
farmers have applied it to pumping water
for the house and stock and abandoned the
old wind mills. II is said by experts upon
this subject that it will be a matter of only
a few years when threshing and a variety
of other farm work will be done by the
same power.
Already in many localities in Indiana
there is talk among the farmers of the ad-
vantage that would come of having the
country roads lighted by electricity. Some
of the old bridges. places where accidents
and night attacks might occur at most any
time are made as bright by night as by
day
The small electrical plants send power
and light to points from ten TO twenty
miles distant. Some of them are built with
auxiliary steam power. 1t is contended
that il will not be long until the lines of
these companies will be seen traversing re-
mote country roads. This mode of furnish
ing power to the farms will no doubt
prove popular and by the constant demand
all of the abandoned mill dams in the
State are likely again to be called into
use.

Many of the farms that surround Indian
apolis are owned by men engaged in some
other business, who hire men 10 the
farms while they come TO the city every
day and look after their other interests.
Many Of the men who live thus among
the wealthiest citizens. who also have large
and elegant town houses and only visit the
farms every day to look after their stock
and see how things getting along. The
men OF this class also enjoy the daily ride
through the country, for it is very invig
Grating.
The farms owned by these wealthy men
fitted I'D with all of the latest con-
veniences. and many OF the large farm
houses have the same appearance as the
modern houses OF the city, with running
water and electric light.
On one large stock farm In particular,
which is owned by a man who has large
interests in other lines OF business, but who
continues to live in the country, there are
the very latest improvements. The farm
Is located near Millersville, and is in a
very beautiful part of the country.
The principal thing raised on this farm
Is fine cattle, and the pastures cover a tract
acres Numerous men are employed about
the place to take care of the cattle, and
each one has his cottage. surrounded by
an acre or so of ground. In each of the
cottages is a telephone, so that the occu-
pant can be called at any time. and he can
also talk to the other men about the place.
There are number of deep wells scat
tered over the farm, and water from them
IS drawn by windmills. which are run by
electricity The wells, together with the
windmills, form a complete water system,

are hydrants everywhere, both for the use
OF the cattle and men. Ordinary garden
hose can be attached to these hydrants,
and no matter how dry the season may be,
plants and cattle do not suffer for water
on this farm.
The owner also has a power plant built
near his house and this as we'll as the
cottages of the men Is well lighted. All of
his barns are lighted in the same fashion,
so that the employees have given up the
dangerous and inconvenient lantern and
can go about the barnyard at night with
the utmost convenience and ease, for their
minds are free from the dread of fire.
