EAT SOUR MILK AND LIVE LONG.

Doctors Dwell ON the Merits of Fog
hurt, q Bulgarian Food.
The latest producer of long life dis
covered by European psychologists is
zoghurt, a preparation of sour milk,
says the Washington Star. Prof. Elias
Metchnikow of the Pasteur Institute,
was the first to direct attention to it.
but no sooner had he lone so than
Prof. Reinhardt of Vienna announced
that he had known all about it for
years and that it was a food in general
use in country parts of Bulgaria.
Prof. Metchnikow's theory is that the
ferment contained in the milk attacks
certain bacteria which develop in the
human system n have poisonous eff,
fecta. He has proved by experiment.
he says, that the Zoghurt has an absO-
Autely disinfecting influence and that
by destroying the poisonons germs 1T,
not only prevents actual disease, but
also arrests the process Of aging.
In a paper published in the Austrian
Review DR.. Reinhardt tells how the
Bulgarians prepare the zoghurt. Cows
OF goats milk is boiled in an open veg
sn5 until it is reduced to about half It's
original volume.
Then 1t is cooled and when it reaches
a temperature of about lis degrees
some zoghurt already prepared is
stirred into it and it is left to ferment
The germ, which the doctor calls maya
fungus, acts quickly and the zoghurt
is ready for use in a day.
DR.. Reoinhardt thinks the health
giving qualities of the preparation are
amply proved by the fact that Bull
garia, in a population of 100000, has

the entire list. Now, these manifold duties kept him out
nights-although, in itself, there's no particular harm
in that. It's only a question of what a man does when
he's out, and whether there isn't some better reason for
him to stay at home.
As it happened, this man was married. He loved his
wife, too. Sometimes he said he thought he'd have to
give up a few of his lodges, they kept him out SO much.
But he took 1t out In thinking. He didn't do it. Now,
the little woman at home, she began to do some think

One morning he spied a queer kind of pin on her

At the commencement of the Spantsh-Amerlcan WAL
when the army was increased to war strength, inteni-

various vacancies with greater pay. What was the re-
suit? The old soldiers who could hardly write thelr

increase. In a great many cases where good sense IL
intelligent discipline once ruled, arrogance, ignorance
and pretense now hold full sway. organization com

at $7,412, 100000, more than 10 per cent higher than the
valuation of the 1906 crops in 1905, And 1906 was a
mountaineering year.
The troubles of the banker and the fear of a financial
stringency disappear in contemplation of these figures.
What need to worry when the tillers of the soil are per-
forming such wonders?
During the last nine years, says the secretary, the
American farmer has added So, OOO,OOO,OO O to the wealth
of the nation.
OF course corn is king, yitk ( valuation Of $780,

Mr.. Wilson kindly volunteers the information that thir.
teen such crops would replace the banking power of the
United States, its capital, surplus, deposits and circula-
ton, and that seventeen such crops would be equal to
all the money in the world.
And Uncle Sam appreciates the efforts of those who
make two blades Of grass grow where only one grew be-
fore. Through the Department of Agriculture he is
lending cooperation and encouragement to the farmer,
educating him to employ scientific methods In the treat
ment Of the soil and intelligence In the rotation of crops.

came up with little warning. The six
thousand soldiers in the company

their tent fastenings when the wind
tore across the plains from the east

was level1ed.

The Rock Island line to st. Joseph was

The Union Pacific tracks west OF
Topeka are out OF service. and the
trains are running to Manhattan over
the Rock Island. A big washout took
place just this side of Manhattan
where the Blue broke over the right

days before the road will be repaired
and the trains running over this line.
None OF the roads will venture any
opinion as to when regular service
will be re-established. AS soon as the
water goes down at Kansas CITY the
roads will be about ready. The
Union Pacific is working on their
tracks between here and kansas CITY

OF these is just above the tie treating

is near the Updegraff farm which is
just east of the road which led to the
old brick plant bridge, which was
wrecked by the 1903 food. This is
where the river bends southeast to-

the river now flows through cuts out
the bend entirely and reaches Soldier

Whether this is deep enough to divert
