the operation was a failure. The meth

PROPER FOOD AND FEEDING.

The amount of advice we have haS
concerning what to eat and what not ia
eat, would fill a book. If we eat bolted
flour we may expect. dyspepsia; if We
eat meat look out for lithemia; in porL
trichiniosis may be in hiding, and in
richest milk the feverish bacilli is
doubtless sporting.
And there is much in what we eat
much that concerns our health and
strength, but there is much in the wav
we eat it. 1t is well to look out for
germs, but the most virulent cannon
stand a bath in good, healthy gastric
Juice. 1t is necessary that germs come
one way or another. but let it be N,oe
unto them when they strike the gastric
membrane
Children nowadays are trained to do
most everything that is useless and ey-
'pensive. Let us train them to chew, To
eat and drink slowly.
A glass of milk swallowed at a guln
is TO revert to the way of the ostrich.
and to invite indigestion and feed bac.
terra, but to sip it slowly and leisureIy
lis to make the warm, rich blood and
THE strong, throbbing heart.

people never eat, properly speaking,
they simply fill up. The delicate nerves
of the stomach, which would tell us of
hunger appeased, are overwhelmed and
stunned by the deluge of drink and the
rain of half-masticated food So they
lie silent, and the nerves of ordinary
sensation give the signal when we be-

are loaded and another mouthful might

1t has been shown eXperimentally
that it is very hard to infect a healthy

the title OF the townsite of Gregory,

Proof to the townsite already has
been made by Edwin NJ. Starcher,
county judge OF Gregory county, and
has been accepted by the commissioner
of the general lane office. The point
at issue in the contest is as to whether
the receipt for the townsite shall be
issued TO the county Judge, who made
the proof, or TO the town trustees OF
Gregory. The proof made at the Cham
berlain land Office nearly w years
ago would have been approved by the
commissioner of the general land Of

protests by individuals.

this time at the Mitchell land office,

board Of trustees OF Gregory, again
protested the proof. The Mitchell land
office decided against Mr.. Ziebach, de-
MED all his protests, rejected his APP
plication TO make proof for the town
site, and this action has now been af-
firmed by the commissioner of the gen
eral land Office.
The case will now be appealed to
the secretary of the interior, who will
be required to decide whether the re-
