ART OF KEEPING COOL.
Sensible Suggestions to Follow Dur
ing the Conircc SIMMER.

Sensible Suggestions to Follow Dur
ing the Coming Summer.
When the hot summer days are upon
us and it is impossible to change our
environment the best help toward keep
ing cool is to learn to adapt ourselves
to it. But with all of us habit is 50
strong that few Of us think Of adapta-
ton, and as consequence we suffer
from way of living which is suited
only to the cold winter months.
The cultivation of peace of mind Is
the first requisite. A cool bath taken
on rising is the best tonic to prepare
one for the days labor and exposure.
A tepid. cool bath or a short hot bath
may be taken in the evening, and if
greatly fatigued it is one of the most
effective means Of bringing refreshing
sleep. Another necessity to keeping
cool is not only in the exercise of body,
but in the matter of diet rs well. All
bodily heat arises from the oxidation
or burning of the food we eat. So
when the temperature rises the body
needs less fuel A warm weather
breakfast should be n very light meal.
AS four-fifths Of our food is used for
fuel it is easily seen that in summer
we need only a small quantity to sup
ply vitality for bodily and mental
work The ideal breakfast would be
whole wheat bread or Zwieback. with
some wholesome ripe fruit, such as
strawberries. plums, melons or apples.
BY giving ourselves the benefit of
our store of common sense many of
us would go forth to the trials of a
day in the heat prepared for 1t by q
diet conducive to health. How many
a man prepares for such day with a
breakfast made up of griddlecakes
soda biscuit, fried eggs and bacon, sau-
sages, worcestershire sauce and strong
coffee, BY noon he feels the heat to
such an extent that he feels compelled
to drink large quantities of ice water
beer or other cooling beverages. Con

ACCUSES HOME COMPANY

Robert Cline, superintendent of con-
struction of the Central Union Tele-
phone Company, in an interview last
evening, stated why his company
would refuse to accept a contract
which contained a rate clause.
Il am anxious that the public will
not think that my action before the
council committee and the board of
public works this afternoon was arbi-
trary. The Central Union Telephone
Company has never accepted fran
chise or a contract that contained a
rate clause and the company will not
make an exception to this rule in the
case of the City of Richmond" said
Mr.. Cline. THE contract we submit
ted to this city was fair in every par
ticular, but Mr.. Gardner saw, fit to
strike out the clause concerning rates
that we had embodied in the contract
and substitute one that set a maxi,
mum rate.
You can state" continued Mr..
| Cline, that the amended contract sub
mitted to us yesterday by Mr.. Gard
ner will never be accepted. If the
board of public works signs the origi-
nal contract, signed by the president
of our company, which was offered to
them, we will build underground.
This contract must be signed within
the next thirty days, for at the end of
that period we will start to rebuild
our lines overhead, as we have right
| to do under the franchise which we
now operate. We intend to spend
$150,0 in Richmond and the contract
we have offered the board of public
works, asks nothing of the city, but
the right to spend this amount of
money in Richmond. We offered the
same contract to the board of public
works at Muncie last Monday and
they promptly signed it and the city
council ratified it that same evening
as they were only too glad of the op.
portunity of getting some of the. wires
underground" ..-~.... H. ..
Mr.. Cline stated that he thought
that the Home Telephone Company
had something to do with the stand
taken by the city officials. Il think
the Home Telephone people used
their influence to have the contract
we submitted, turned down Some
one who was next" must have told
the city officials that our company
never accepted contracts which con
tanned rate clauses" said Mr.. Cline
Il suppose the Home Telephone PEG
pie thought that if we were allowed tt
build our lines underground that i
would spoil their chance of selling
out to the Central Union. can as
sure them that it will not. Only las
week we bought out 8 Independent
line in Shelbyville under exactly thu
same conditions
The clause in the originaE contrac
to which Mr.. Gardner objecFd, stated
that the people of Richmon( would b,
furnished telephones at rAes preva
lent in other cities of th& same siz,
and under the same condit bns that ey
listed here. This was q the refer
ence made to rates.

A Dog and a TeIcph hone.

An up to date dog is one that an
swers the telephone. The senior part
ner of an influential London firm has
taught his dog not only to guard the
Office during his absence. but also to
report "All's well' during the time the
premises are closed at week ends. One
Of the old fashioned telephones. which
does not require that the receiver
should be taken off its holder, Is fixed
up in the Office, and under this the
dog stands. His master rings up the
Office and then calls until the attention
of the dog is aroused. when the canine
caretaker barks loudly to show that all
is well with him and with the Office.

PetrineG SCHOOL,.

New England, n. D.. possesses what
is probably the most remarkable
schoolhouse in the country. The struc-
ture is twentyfour feet square, one
story in height and built entirely of
petritied wood except the roof, which
is shingled. The wood of the ancient
forests which covered the prairies of
Hettinger county has become agatized.
and in the absence of other building
material the people OF this place deter
mined to erect their primitive educa-
tional institution Of this beautiful pet
rification. Great care has been exer-
cised in the construction Of the school
house. so that the material shows off
to the best advantage. and when the
sun shines the building glistens like
crystal.

The idea that the toad Is poisonous
has a foundation of fact. The skin
secretes an acrid fluid and just behind

"We had just finished dinner at

from the house. Every one made
a rush for their rifles, but all were

two spring cubs. No one thought
she would have the courage to
come back after some forty odd
shots had been sent in her direc-
ton by a number of excited tie
men. On the contrary, however.
she came back in about two hours
and she and her cubs filled up on

w. L. Kuykendall
Tells Of Bright Pros
poets for Saratoga and
the Valley in the Near
Future.

Judge W. L. Kuykendall of
Saratoga returned last night from
Douglas, where he was elected
secretary of the Masonic Grand
Lodge of Wyoming for about the
fifteenth time, and this morning
went to Denver. Judge Kuyken-
dali was seen at the depot by a
Tribune reporter and spoke en-
Enthusiastically of the bright pros
poets for the future of his home
town.
"We are just beginning to awake
from a long, long Sleep" Judge
K~uykendall said, ''~necessitated by
the absence of railroad facilities,
and now, refreshed by our long
nap, we will prove a lusty young
giant and a n important factor in
the upbuilding of southern Wyo-
ming. The construction of a rail.
road is at last assured and is now
building towards Saratoga at a
rapid rate, and the completion of
the road means the construction
at Saratoga of one of the finest
sanitariums in the west.
at is not generally known at
present, but soon will be, that
the Saratoga hot springs are the
most wonderful, in curative quail
ties, in the world. People resid-
ing right in southern Wyoming
make long trips back to Missouri
and other places to take the water
of springs for medicinal purposes
when right at their doors are
springs equally as good. Saratoga
realizes this, but has been 10th to
invite people to her springs on &C.
count of the lack of railroad facil-
tiles, but now it will be an enthus-
iastic bidder for the patronage of
people from all over the United
States, and Saratoga mineral water
will become an important product
on the American market.
eve have not only the finest
mineral springs in the world, but
the finest climate as we'll, some
thing the eastern health resorts
cannot boast, and combining the
curative qualities of the water
