Diet VS.. Drugs
People Are Finding that
Proper Food is Better
Than Medicine.

A distinguished physician in a re-
cent lecture before class in an
Eastern Medical College said: ''It
is my settled conviction that ninety
per cent of all human ailments arise
primarily from the stomach. Prop
er diet would nearly put the physi-
clan out of business"
If you desire a clear head and
strong body, the moral is plain that
you must eat only the most nutri-
tious and healthful foods.
All physicians and food experts
agree that faxed wheat properly
manufactured is an ideal food.
Egg-O-See is the purest, daintiest
and the most wholesome of all
faxed wheat foods. 1t is the whole
grain of the best white wheat thor

Hammond has quite history. A Vermont

river. He had a contract with the confeder-
ate governmental supply shoes to the army
and was getting SO pair for them In
confederate money when party of federal
raiders came over this way and vaii him
a visit. They refused to take the shoes

certain to go lame; but they burned the
tannery, the sawmill and everything else

reason or another, escaped the flames and

Revival of the Place.
Mr.. Cate rebuilt his plant and resumed
business after the war in q quiet little
settlement, composed only of his employees
and their families and a few farmers who
were grubbing around. For twenty years
these conditions existed, until one day sby
accident Parker Earl of Golden, ILL.,, hap
pened to get off a train at this station. He
saw that the land was exhausted with cot
ton and improper cultivation. and that
the farmers were abandoning 1t ana going
to Texas. They told him they could not
raise enough to pay for fertilizers. He ex-
amined the SOIL decided that it was good
for tomatoes, furnished tools and seed to
every farmer who would accept them and
agreed to pay them a dollar a bushel for all
they raised And that is the way the busi-
ness began. A few years later, when Capt.
Merry came down here with one Of his ex-
cursions Of farmers from Illinois and Iowa.

Mr.. Earl was doing. Capt. Merry went

Be Earnest.

You may talk about your people
who're begrudging you your
bread,
And are pulling back and kicking
VIXEN you try to get ahead;
] do not deny you'll meet them as you
travel on in life
That they constitute portion Of Its
struggle and its strife
But wish I could convince you OF
the truth that's in my mind
II you're earnest in your purpose you
will find most people kind.
There's lot of sadness, somehow, in
the thought that men are
mean;
That but few folks can be trusted
Then the worst Of life ia
While its beauty fades unheeded.
Take a clearer, purer view.
Find life's noblemen and heroes;
don't Judge all by one or
two.
Strive to rise--to be successful. Let
the world know you are
here.
Don't be baked by incidentals, who
refuse to help and cheer.
Travel on little further; there's a
truer man to meet
Who will gladly give assistance; help
TO put you on your feet.
And the rest who meet you daily,
tho they never help a bit,
When they see your hard.fought bat
ties, must admire you for
your grit.
If my words do not convince you, try
yourself. and You will find
When you're earnest in your purpose,
that most people VIII be
kind.

CHINA, LAND OF ODD
IDEAS AND CUSTOMS
ESSENTIALLY A COUNTRY OF
HoMEsTEAos - INTERIOR
ECONOMY OF THE
HOUSE. \

"China is essentially land OF
itomesteads, for the sons, contrary to
the general rule In western countries,
always live with their fathers" said
missionary who had just returned
from China. Sometimes as many as
four generations will be found in one
habitation. and as many as so human
beings. In order to accommodate the
eyer-increasing family additions are
built on to the rear OF the houses,
and sometimes the houses attain a
length of 100 feet. The majority OF
the houses of China are built around
an open court and have no windows
in the outside walls, for. according to
the Chinese way OF thinking, to put
an aperture In an outside wall is to
invite the depredations of thieves and
robbers. In Kucheng. in which the
Methodist mission OF which have
charge is located, the houses OF the
poorer classes among whom I work
are made OF mud, The very poor of
the city are huddled together in n
couple of rooms. while the better
classes have houses composed OF a
succession of rooms built about open
courts. says the Chicago Chronicle. .
Whenever a son marries he always
brings his bride to the house OF his
father. and If there should be no &C.
commodation for the new family In
the old house an addition is erected
in the rear. This addition will be an
exact replica Of the original portion
of the house, as will be any others
that may be built In the future to &C.
commodate the sons of sons. In Chi.
ma everything seems to us to 60 by
contrary. and the front part Of the
house Is devoted to the kitchen. Up.
on entering the house at the front
door one Is introduced into the Gull
nary department, and so important
an adjunct to household is the
kitchen that the population OF town
and cities throughout the empire is
reckoned by the number OF kitchens
within the walls. Brick chimneys in
China are a thing unheard of, and
the smoke from the fire is allowed to
roll lazily along the ceiling out iato
the court or through an aperture made
in the roof. The kitchen fire is usu-
ally built in mud stove. for any 9th.
er kind of stove is unheard of among
the poor classes.
"The dining room is usually in the
center of the open court. Rice is the
principal article of diet. with perhaps
a couple of side dishes Of vegetables.
