Tho railroad company will put the ditch
under the track and the county dads
will then mako the connection with the
old ditch south of the track.
The new ditch has plenty OF fall and
when completed will he n big improve
ment to the eastern part OF town. 1t
will be fonr feet wide OH tho bottom and
one foot deep, with the dirt thrown on
the lower side, and will carry all the
water that comes from the foothills. IT
runs down grade instead OF uphill as
the old one does. II also follows the
street instead ~ running diggonally
through peoples property.
Tho new ditch is the direct result OF
the stand taken by Mr.. Shirley when he
began building his new house. The
Old ditch crorscd his lot4 and he filed
1t up. This brought tue Itch question
t0 II head.
AZ n result Of his work thc owners OF
property, through which the old ditch
runs, have been groatly benefited and
they should give Mr.. Shirley Il gold
medal us II token Of their appreciation.
Tho cost Of the ditch in $50. OF this
amount Mr.. Shirley, John Henderson
aud Mr.. Gutridgc pa! go each, leaving
only 800 for the country to pay.

Wanted-An Appetite.

Don't be without one. Why so to

try to buy appetite at a dollar bot
tie. Earn it. One should enjoy eating
and he will. if he has natural appe'

The outdoor life creates appetite,
and cold morning bath awakens the
brain. lungs, heart. liver. stomach and
the appetite. An ice bag over the
stomach for halt an hour before meals
is a good natural appetizer for Il bed
ridden invalid.
Another method Is hot application
over the abdomen for five minutes, fol.
lowed by an ice rub over the same
parts for one or two minutes. This
not only produces an appetite but
stimulates the flow of the digestive
juices and thus furnishes the ability
to digest.

Diet for tuberculosis.

The tubercuar patient needs pro-
teids. or tissue-building foods, but only
just the amount which can be assimi-
lated and utilized by the body. Any
excess must be treated like pOisons.
and hence must be burden TO both
liver and kidneys, and a waste of vital
energy.
Proteds must be taken. not only in
moderate quantity. but in the purest
form possible. The vegetable kingdom
presents proteids in combination with
fats in great abundance. and in nuts,
which can be made easily digcstible
by thorough chewing or by proper
preparation.
The yolks of eggs afford also com
bination of fats and proteds which is
admirably suited to the tubercular pa.
tient. Milk, especially rich milk, is
another food adapted to this class OF
patients when IL does not produce
"biliousncss" through Indigestion
Many tubercuar patients have dila
tation of the stomach. Such cases
must avoid milk. Nearly all can take
nuts II the right kind is selected and
great care is taken with the mastica
tion. Pccans, hickory nuts, almonds
ard flbcrts. pinons. or pine nuts arc
the best varieties. Half pound oi
nuts may be taken daily by the con
sumptivc. not only without harm, but
with great beneflty if combined witt
| other foods. A diet consisting Of nuts
well-toasted bread and fruits is per
feet dietary for the tubercular patient
The yolks of a dozen eggs may bt
! used in place of nuts.

ButtermiIk for Consumptives.

Buttermilk is an excellent food for
tubercuar patients. II may be taken
in the quantity of one to three quarts
a day, according to the amount OF
other food taken. The patient may
take two meals, three meals. or four
meals day, according to the quantity
of food taken at each meal, and the
kind of food. A safe rule is never TO
allow consumptiye to go hungry. He
should eat whenever he has appetite.
so that the full digestive power of the
stomach may be utilized in furnishing
the body with constructive material,

Early in October there was held in
ST. Louis, at the Hall of Congresses,
in connection with the Worlds Fair,
the American International Congress
Of tuberculosis, which consisted of
representatives gathered from all
parts of the American continent, TO
discuss the best means of preventing
and curing this dreadful disease. Spe-
cial attention was given to the subject
of prevention. The congress was in
session three days. Many important
questions were discussed and commit
tees were appointed for the purpose
of carrying forward an active cam
paign against this most terrible of all
the foes of human life. The commit
tee of publicity was charged with the
duty of organizing a proper educa-
tional campaign in connection with
Chautauquas, conventions, asSocia-
tions and fraternitieS of various sorts,
for the purpose of placing in the
hands of the public information re-
lating to the best means of preventing
and combating this scourge. Those
who are especially interested in this
phase of the question should address
for further information the American

Danger in Alcohol in Cold Weather.

When the skin is warm it is red or
pink in color. The cold air of winter
causes the skin to become winter in
color. This is due to the contraction
of the blood vessels of the skin. The
amount of blood passing through the
skin is decreased. and the amount of
heat thrown off into the cold air 10
likewise decreased. If a glass of wine
or brandy is taken the skin becomes
red. The sensation of warmth pro-
duCcd is delsive. The victim i'm
agines himself warmer. Indeed, the
skin is warmer, but at the same time
a great increase is observed in the
heat thrown off from the skin. The
result is an enormous loss of heat TO
the inside of the body.
DIR. Parkes, the eminent English
sanitarian, says: "All observers con
denim the use of spirits, and even OF
wine or beer, as a preventive against
cold" The names of DIR. King, DR..
Kane, Capt. Kennedy and DIR. Hayes
may also he cited as holding to this
opinion. In the last expedition in
search of Sir John Franklin the whole
crew were tectotalers.
