Judge Kimball sent for one of the en-

officers to pay his fine, 1t was later testi-

DON'T CHEW YOUR MEAT
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley Advises to
Swallow il Whole.

Washington. June 13.-"Don't I
chew your meat; bolt it," Is the
startling advice of DIR. Harvey w.
Wiley, chief chemist of the
United States government. This
statement WAS amplified by the
following explanation:
"Flesh eating animals never
chew their food; they bolt it.
Man by chewing his meat. makes
1t indigestible. The saliva mixed
with the meat forms an alkaline.
Before the meat can be digested
that alkaline must be neutralIzed.
Chewing mechanically is good
thing, for it breaks up the meat;
but practically it is a bad thing
for it makes it hard to digest. OF
course, chewing is beneficial when
eating starchy substances"
DR.. Wiley, laying down for
mula for a century of life, said:
Eat plenty of good, whole
some food. Sleep the sleep of
innocence; that is, eight hours of
peaceful, restful sleep in every
twenty-four hours.
"Take plenty of exercise. Do
not make it too violent.
"Don't be afraid to fight.
Fight with all your energy when
fighting, but the moment the
fight is over forget it. The man
who carries envy and hatred to
bed is bound to die young"

A Good Catch.

1t was a pleasant afternoon
in western Nevada. A group of
young men were playing a rough
game of ball in the middle of the
wide, sandy street, but the side
walks were almost deserted.
This rendered every paser-by con-
spicuous to the motley crowds of
Indians, Cinnamon, cowboys,
miners and other adventures
that lounged in front of the shops
and barrooms of. the main thor
oughfare.
A tall young man and dainty,
sweet-faced girl came out of the
hotel and took their way along
the sidewalk, their dress and
manner plainly procIaiming them
to be Fasteners and "tender-
foots," for the young fellow wore
a silk hat and a long "Prince
Albert" coat with all the inno-
cence imaginable, and his very
small mustache was distinctly
curled up at the ends.
The nair walked unconcernedly
along the street, the target of
every eye, but all unconscious of
creating a sensation, for the
crowd, on account of the sweet
faced girl, endeavored to sup
press somewhst its deep and
heartfelt disapproval of her COM
panion's dress and appearance.
Suddenly one of the players In

gave the ball q tremendous SWING,
it accidentally slipped from his
grasp and went straight for the
pretty girls face.
The player gave q cry of hor-
ror, the crowd gasped and caught
its breath. In an instant all
would be over with the pretty
girl. But quick as thought her
escort sprang forward. threw out
bis left hand, deftIy caught the
sred-hot" ball not q foot from
her face, and lightly tossed it
back to the player.
There was q moment of dazed
silence; then from every motley
group all up and down the street
came q burst of hearty, spon-
taneous applause. Loud and
long 1t continued. The young
man lifted bis hat. the pretty
girl, the color rushing back to-
her cheeks, smiled and waved her
handkerchief and as they dlsap-
peare& from view down the dusty
roadway. the tall hat and the
Iong-tailed coat were freely for

A NEW SYSTEM.
Scientific, Accurate and Dependable
Results Obtain Where all
Others Fail.

After years spent in study prac
tice and experiments l have
developed and perfected the most
accurate, scientific and dependable
system of correcting imperfect
vision known, and the further
interesting fact has developed
that thousands everywhere are
wearing glasses which increase,
rather than relieve eye strain, As
nearly every one whose eyes are
corrected by the old system are
weakened after a few years and
require freqvent changes to
stronger lenses. Nothing ages
eyes quicker than wrong glasses.
Another interesting fact is that
many young people are using
glasses who do not need them.
Muscular asthenopla or painful
eyes and slight blurring of vision
is not always a sign that glasses
are needed, but in such cases
where glasses are needed it is
unsafe to give them until the eye
muscles are thoroughly exercised,
disciplined and developed. BY
this system and no other, can the
real strength of an eye be
determined and corrected.
Many head symptoms such as
headaches, eyeaches, dizziness,
blurnng of print and small
objects are relieved by this
system without the use of
glasses. and the relief Is perman-
ent. The work is accomplished
by means of special lenses design
ed for the purpose and the results
are most wonderful, as by this
system and no other, red inflamed.

If you are interested on your

never before the opportunity is
to get relief to your

wise surgery. The work is safe,
