DIET AND HEALTH.
Use Foods That Will Give the System
tho QiLlt Demands.


Every. person requires certain
amount Of oil; In his food in order to be
healthy. Our ancestors lived to n large
extent on olives, tilberts, chestnuts
and other nuts containing oil. The
present generation uses too little oil In
its diet. This can be taken In the
shape Of the pure expressed olive OF,
as an emulsified salad dressing or by
eating nuts, olives, etc. 1t may be q
matter Of choice how the system gets
its oil, but n certain amount is essen
tial to the enjoyment Of good health.
The good results OF the habitual use Of
the above articles IN the diet are soon
shown, especially when persons. are in
clined to colickY Indigestion and con
stipation. Doctors will do we'll to in
struct their patients to use pure olive
oil in moderate doses. also as dressing
for salads. Various kinds of nuts have
high dietetic value because Of the
oils which they contain and can be
used to advantaget When patients in
cline to consumption, pure cod liver
oil ranks at the, head Of oily sub
stances, but the lesser oils also can be
taken in moderation. Y
Nature furnishesmany cures for the
successful treatmefSt, Of diseases If we
will but study her methods instead Of
following fads. TIE result will jbe a
greater progress in building up resist
ance and immunity from disease

An Honest Quaker.

A sheriff was once asked to execute
writ against Quaker On arriving
at his house he saw the Quaker's wife,
who in reply to the inquiry whether
her husband was at home said he was,
at the same time requesting him to be
seated, and her husband would speedi-
tiently for some time, when, the fair
Quakeress coming into the room, he
reminded her Of her promise that he
might see her husband. NAY, friend,
[ promised that he would see thee.
He has seen thee. He did not like thy
looks. Therefore he avoided thee and
hath departed from the house by an
other path ......

The BANK .%CJerk

1t is the duty Of the clerk to be zeal
Gus. The low spirited has no place in
bank. Neither has the frivolous.
The man who works for a bank is re-
spected IN his community because it is
known that the character of his work
Is important and particular. He, must
not only be direct and speedy in what
he does, he must not only be faithful
and constant IN all that he does, but
ne must go step further and do what
he does with a will, and good will
at that Zeal requires interest and en-.
thusiasm. One Of the, troubles with
the bank clerk is that his senses and
his buoyancy are apt to be dulled by
the endless repetition Of details. There
Is no way to sh;rk 1t. No bank clerk
can go home at night with his work

brunswick on the William Camp-
bell, magnificent sidewheeler,
which with It's tremendous load of
freight and nearly 1000 PASSENGERS
drew about five feet of water. The
voyage was full Of incident. At St.,
Louis as far as the eye could reach
were steamboats, with tall feathered
stacks, some driving, some leaving
and most Of them receiving cargoes.
The levee was black with trucks,
drays, cabs and passengers,
That was in the spring of 1857
and a large part of the passenger
list comprised pro-slavery men and
free Standardization sts--going to
Kansas to vote at the next election
for their respective political faiths.
They would get into some warm dis
customs in their attempts to settle
the matter before the election.
I'VE met boats almost every hour
OF the day. The river then was the
great artery Of trade and all the
towns mentioned were important
shipping points. On the wharves for
midable stacks Of freight we're al
ways awaiting the first boat that
came which was bound for the des-
ttnation to which the goods were
marked.
mot only did the boat stop at the
towns but it would answer halls
from various points along the river
where the landing was good. We

.RABIE|.!s'IAI /
Several Well Defined
:! Cases 'as on South Side
ANIMALS. ARE SLAIN

Quite number. OF we'll defined
cases OF rabies In cows which have
been bitten by dogs have developed
on the South Side recently, and 1t la
advised by those who have kept in
touch with the situation that close
watch be kept not only upon the cat
tie which have been actually bitten,
but upon those which may have come
In contact with them, between the,
period of incubation and the Edevel-
opment Of the disease. ~
In a conversation with Veterinary
Surgeon Hershey yesterday he In
formed representative Of the Mail
Of case where two cows had been
bitten by "a rabid dog on the same
day, one Of them developing rabies
In twenty-eight days, while the other
showed no signs OF the disorder until
sixty-three days had elapsed, 81. 49,.
DR.. Hershey was called to see the
latter case, and advised the destruc-
ton Of the animal, which was q val
liable one. Another party who was
called In pronounced the disease to
be simply a case Of black tongue and
the COW was turned loose to associate
with a number Of others, exposing
not only the herd, but every human
being In the neighborhood~ to the in
lection. 49,.
On second visit, DR.. Hershey
found the animal at large with the
disease so thoroughly developed that
he ordered her destruction, and she
was accordingly slaughtered, the
doctor removing the brain and for
Ward1ng it to the bureau OF animal
industry at Washington, who made
a microscopic examination, and for
Warded him letter, which the rep
resentative of the Mail was permitted
to read, fully confirming his dag.
nosis of the case. e. r,.
There have been several we'll de-
fined cases of rabies among the cat
tie on the South Side during the past
few months. and DR.. Hershey antic-
ipates that there will be still others
among those COWS which have been,
exposed to the Infection. Some OF
these, he says, may not develop for
sixty Or ninety days, or even longer,
whole on the other hand they may
develop almost Immediately, = the
disease being peculiar In that there
is no specified time in whtch,'it may ,
be reasonably expected to develop
after exposure to the contagion.
In view Of these facts 1t is highly
important that close watch should
be kept upon all cattle which have
been oXnOSod IN tho inPacttrn ond

ton and destruction Of those show

ing the only method whereby its
eradication can be accomplished.
There has been more or less effort
to deny theSexistence of this disease
among the cattle in this section, but
1t Is far better to look the situation
in the face and to apply The only
known remedy than to attempt to
conceal 1t from the public. 1t is one
Of those situations where publicity
Will be Of benefit to the entire COM
munity, particularly at this stage,
when the disease has not yet become
