Of fish; to give up coffee and drink
weak China tea. Those who wish to go
further should reflect. first. that man is
neither carnivorous nor herbivOrous.
For long scientists have obscured the
view by useless arguments as to wheth-
er or not a man was meant to live like
cow.
There are other species than the flesh
and grass-eating animals; all students
of comparative anatomy know now
that the teeth of human beings are
identical with those of the frugivorous
apes who live on fruits and nuts. Not
only SO, but the proportion Of bowel
length, to body length in man CORE
spends exactly with that in the same
species, in marked contrast to what
obtains in all carnivorous animals,
where the bowel is proportionally short.
A study Of anatomy, therefore, sug-
gests a fruit diet as the most suitable |;
further confirmation is afforded by the
obvious prediction Of nearly all chill
dren for such food. The best fruits for

dates, raisinS and figs.
Nuts are especially valuable, owing
to the large amount of fat they con-
tain; the old-fashioned idea that they
are indigestible is due partly to the
error in taking them at the end of an
already more than ample meat meal,
and partly to insufficient mastication.
Chestnuts are the easiest to digest and
make an excellent food. Many other
fruits may be taken, always remember
ing that stone fruits sometimes dis
agree, and that acid fruits should be
taken in moderation. Strawberries con-
tain a considerable amount Of purins,
and should be avoided by all with a
equity or rheumatic tendency. Among
fruits, we include those Of the cereals,
such as wheat and rice. White bread
is free from purin, but brown contains
varying amount derived from the
husk. The most wholesome form Of
bread is unleavened.

Husband Finally Convinced.

Husband Finally Convinced.
Some men are wise enough to try new
foods and beverages and then generous
enough to give others the benefit of
their experience.
A very conservative" Ills. man, how
ever, let his good wife find out for her
self what blessing Postum Is to those
who are distressed in many ways, by
drinking coffee. The wife writes:
mo slave in chains, it seemed to me,
was more helpless than l, coffee cap
tive. Yet there were innumerable warn
ings-waking from a troubled sleep
with a feeling of suffocation, at times
dizzy and out of breath, attacks OF pal
pitation Of the heart that frightened
ME.
Common sense, reason, and ny bet
ter judgment told me that coffee drink
ing was the trouble. At last my ner-
vous system was so disarranged that
my physician ordered mo more coffee.
HE knew he was right and he knew
to this our family had tried Postum but
d1Sliked it, because, as we learned later,
it was not made right.
Determined this time to give Postum
fair trial, 1 prepared it according to
directions on the pkg.-that is, boiled it
10 minutes after boiling commenced,
obtaining a dark brown liquid with a
rich snappy flavor similar to coffee.
When cream and sugar were added, it
was not only good but delicious.
Noting it's beneficial effects in me
The rest of the family adopted it-al
except my husband, who would not ad
NIT that coffee hurt him. Several weeks
elapsed during which l drank Postum
two or three times a day, when, to my
surprise, my husband said: I have
decided to drink Postum. Your i'm
provement is so apparent-you have
such fine color-that 1 propose to give
credit where credit is due And now
we are coffee-slaves no longer"

1t is easy enough to be pleasant,
When life flows by like a song,
But the man worth while is one who will
smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth the praises Of
earth
Is the smile that shines through tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray,
When without or within no voice of sin
Is Turing your soul away;
But it's only a negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire,
And the life that is worth the honor on
earth
Is the. one that resists desire.
BY the cynic, the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered to-day,
They make up the sum of life.
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides in a smile !;
It is these that are worth the homage on
earth,
For we find them but once in while.
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

June.

And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days,
Then Heaven tries the earth if it be in
tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays;
Whether we look or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur or see it glisten;
Every clod feels a stir of might,
An instinct within it that reaches and
towers,
And, grasping blindly above it for light,
Climbs to soul for grass and flowers !;
The flush of life may we'll be seen
Thrilling back over hills and valleys;
The cowslip startles in meadow green,
The buttercup catches the sun in its
chalice,
And there's never a leaf nor blade too
mean
To be some happy creatures palace.

DOCTOR SAID "usE cUr1cURA"

In Bad Case of Eczema on Child

when l was small I was troubled
with eczema for about three months
1t was all over my face and covered
nearly all Of my head. 1t reached
such a state that it was just large
scab all over, and the pain and itching
were terrible. I dictored with an able
physician for some time and was then
advised by him to use the Cuticura
Remedies, which I did, and l was en-
tirely cured / have not been bothered
with it since. 1 used Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment but do not
know exactly how much was used to
complete the cure. l can safely say
that Cuticura did a lot for me. Miss

The residents of the north edge of
Adams county and the south edge of
Hall county participated in a wolf
hunt recently in which twenty-three
wolves were captured out Of twenty
five rounded up, says the Hastings
(Neb.) Tribune 1t is claimed that
this is a record breaker for the state.
Wolf hunts are all the go, but as a
rule Br'er Wolf shows a clean pair of
heels and gets away. In roundup in
Farmers township an unfortunate was
caught mapping; the others slipped
through the line. A hundred or more
men and boys organized a hunt on the
river bottom directly east of town. One
wolf was killed, one at least and pos
sibly more escaped by hiding in the
grass.
Their hair is the color of the dead
grass, and a wolf will lie fiat and not
be seen by a hunter only rod or so
away, and when the line passes he
makes for his life.
A hunt announced for Sumner town
ship came off lately, when one wolf
was killed and four got away. The
hunts afford considerable SPORT even
though they get few wolves. Usually at
the end Of a roundup there will be a lot
Of jack rabbits and cottontails in the
ring, and when the shOtguns are turn
ed loose it is a reminder of skirmish
line in action.

WHEN MEN ARE sHIPwREcKED

That's the Time They Really Can
Eat Their Boots.
Shipwrecked persons have been kept
alive on the most repugnant and I'M
wholesome Of foods. Probably the hard
est fare that six strong men and boy
Of Is ever kept alive on was the daily
menu of the Windover's survivors, who
were cast up on the Irish coast near
Kilsegg. They lived sixteen days on
stewed rope yarn.
When they took the ships small boat
they had water enough for month, but
only small amount of provisions.
These lasted four days. After having
nothing at all to eat for the following
two days they tried boiling lengths of
tarred hemp rope into pulp and swal-
lowing it.
They had keg Of paraffin wax,
which they boiled to add to the nourish-
ment. The sickness they experienced
as o result of the diet, says What to
Eat, was only temporary, and they land
ed in comparatively good health.
Capt. Maboly Of the foundered steam
er GwaIlor and his second officer Gre
ated a record by living for seventeen
days on boot leather and a pint Of
water a day each.
Of course, no teeth can tear cowhide
boots; they have to be cut up and
shredded with knife and the shreds
chewed and swallowed. Boiling, even
when possible, it is said, does no good,
but takes from the nourishment of the
boots A few ounces of leather, being
very hadd to dikest, stays in the stom-
ach for fifteen or twenty hours.
A diet Of boots and shoes is one of
the commonest of last resource foods,
and though it is hard for well-fed
person to imagine that any one could
masticate and digest the leather, pair
of long sea boots will keep a man alive
for fortnight If he has little water.
Two men who went to small island
off the Irish coast not long ago kept
themselves going for ten days on diet
probably worse than this. They landed
in boat which was smashed by wave
on their trying to relaunch her, and
they were kept on the bare, rocky island
without food.
Fortunately there was a spring on
the island, but nothing in the way Of
sea gulls which they could catch, and
nothing with which to make a fire as a
distress signal. There were not even
any shellfish, as there was no beach,
and the pair had to subsist for ten days
on cold, raw seaweed washed up by the
tide.
The best known and most useful Of
starvation diets for wrecked or cast
away people, however, is that Of barna-
cIes. Three Englishmen and crew
of Lascars who had been forced to
abandon the sailing vessel North Star
a few months ago kept themselves go
ing for more than week on barnacles,
and only two of the crew died.
The worst of this diet is that the
barnacles give one internal cramps and
cause an insufferable thirst, but they
do nourish the frame. You have TO
reach under the vessels side and pull
them off, taking care not to leave the
best half of them sticking to the
blanks.

SAILS THROUGH AIR
FOR 81 MINUTES
Oelagrange Breaks Own
Record With Aeroplane
Today in France.

PARIS, Sept. IN. Leon Delagrange,
the noted French aeronaut, sailed his
aeroplane for thiTty-One minutes to
day. breaking the worlds record which
he established yesterday, when he kept
his machine in the air twenty-nine min
utes and hfty-fve seconds.
In today flight, Deiagrange rounded
the parade grounds at Issy seventeen
times, a distance Of sixteen miles AS
in yesterdays flight. the aviator had
his machine under perfect control and
announced that he could have contin-
uel the fight but did not care 10 sub
ject the motor 10 too great strain
Delagrange's new mark is eleven min
utes better than the record established
by Henri FaTman and eleven minutes
ard twelve seconds ahead OF the long
est flight yet made IN europe by VII
bar c. Wright. the American aeTOnaut.
The feat of sailing an aercplans an
hour is now the goal sought by Della
grange, and he said after alighting to-
day that ne expected to do so within
the next month
The success OF Delagrange was warm
ly praised by Wright He has Won
derful machine, and he certainly un-
derstands the theory OF aeronautiCs."
Wright said. But I expect 20 beat
him TO the hour mark"
While DelagTanEe's flight today
stands as the official record, the Wright
brothers claim 10 have sailed for thir-
ty-fiVc minutes in 1905, ana the success
of Wilbur Wright at AUyours has been
such that this claim is easily accepted.
DeLagrauge flew at an average
height OF twenty feet. He descended as
low as twelve feet, and went as high
as thirty feet although most of the time
he sailed at the same height. He made
numerous turns in the course as grace
fully as bird, and IN none OF the ma
neuvers did the huge aeroplane fail to
respond promptly and accurately TO his
manipulation.
A large crowd witnessed the flight.
and the fact that DeL.agrange was
bringing new aeronautic laurels TO
France aroused the spectators TO
frenzy of enthusiasm. The aerOnaut
had difficulty IN escaping the crowd,
and his machine was treated with al
most r5VeTential awe.
