For a Sunday Mail Service,

For some time it has been felt that
Elkader needed the advantages of a
Sunday mail service and this senti-
ment has been worked up SO that a
petition asking it from the Postoffice
Department was gotten up by ]. G..
Hempel yesterday afternoon and
already has seventy-fiye signers. The
petition will be sent to Congressman
Haugen and by him forwarded to the
department and will doubtless receive
his best attention which he always
gives to the wants Of his constituents.
The service proposed could connect
at Strawberry Point with the mail
service which has been in force since
August 18th, which by means OF a
star route connecting with the Great
Western at Dundee, gives them Sunday
mail about 10 a. IN. This service
would only give us daily papers on
Sunday, but facilitate the getting
out Of letter mail ON Monday. Ell

The women believe that every man
knows all about poker, but only a few
men do. 1t is true, however, that near
ly every man pretends to understand
the game thoroughly. When there is a
poker joke at theater all the men
smile and look at their women folks
with sort of pity, but the fellows who
smile know very little about the game
and are afraid to play it, for in almost
every little social affair connected with
chips and pairs there is actin horn
gambler industriously engaged in work
ing chumps. The few men who really
understand poker have habit of win
ming the money of the men who pre-
tend to understand it, SO the large ma
jority Of men know nothing about the
game further than that a good hand is
hard to get.-Atchison Globe.

large law practice recently to become u

ity, remember his first day on the curb
as one of the most exciting days in his

organized for his enlightenment and as
a species of initiation to the curb.
For two hours Mr. Siegel traded in
International mining stock with all the
enthusiasm that only youthful vOtary

got some of the brokers short of the
stock, and so mixed matters that ver-
liable corner was precipitated in the
phantom issue, and at one stage of the
speculation he stood to win 100000,

surrounded by a bowling mob of bz'ok-

in huge quantities of the stock. the price

smashed, his collar spattered with mud,
his clothing and hair disheveled, but he

FOOD AND WEATHER.
why People Eat More I'm Winter

why People Eat More I'm Winter
Than They DO In Summer.
It has been shown that the consump-
ton of food increases in direct proper
ton to the decrease in temperature.
We eat more in winter than in summer,
and the inhabitants of the temperate
regions require more food than those
of the tropic zone.
This is due to several causes. In the
first place air is denser in colder eli
mates and more oxygen is taken in
with each breath, SO that greater sup
ply of carbon-derived from foods
necessary in order that the two gases
may combine in their proper proper
tons for the maintenance of bodily
heat.t Again, the inhabitant of cold
climate usually has to work harder
than the more fortunate southerner
whose wants decrease as nature be-
comes more generous. The. harder the
daily labor the greater the amount of
food required.
Climate not only affects the quaint
ty but also the quality Of the food con-
sumed. The Eskimo could not live up
on the dainties of nature which load
the tables of the poorest in the tropics,
for the conditions of his existence re-
Quire the consumption of an enormous
amount of fatty matter, so that blub-
