DREADED TO EAT
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hun
CRY nearly all the time,
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given thing called
appetite that should guide US as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal
into the furnace, and our sense of
appetite becomes unnatural and per-
verted. Then we eat the wrong kind
of food or eat too much, and there
You are-indigestion and its accom-
panying miseries.
A Phila. lady said the other day:
MY husband and I have been sick
and nervous for 10 or 20 years from

surprising results. We both liked 1t
and have not used any coffee since.
The dull feeling after meals has
left us and We feel better every way.

Surveyor and Panther,

A surveyor employed by the st.
Louis. Bartlesville q Pacific Railroad
company, which purposes to build q
line from Joplin Mo-, to Pond Creek.
Okla, saw a remarkable sight through
the glass of his transit instrument
while RUNNING a survey ON Sand
creek, Is or Is miles northeast of
Pawhuska. in the Usage Indian reser-
Walton, recently. The country at that
place Is broken and indented with
canyons.
The surveyor had turned his instru-
nfent to see the flagman behind him.
The fiagman was seen plainly, but be-
yond the flagman about 300 yards was
something that caused the, surveyor TO
gasp in astonishment. A large panther
at the edge of n small clearing was
gazing intently at the surveyors.
Through the glass the panther's every
movement could be clearly seen. The
surveyors shouted at the beast, which
quickly ran into the timber.
