.NE- FOURTH Of
. what we eat keeps

The rest we keep at
the risk of our lives, said crusty old Abernethy, Lon
don's most famous doctor. And in this day, as in
that, we all eat too much 1t is the prevalent sin
against the body.
day. as being the right thing; and few of us, even
when find ourselves becoming permanently old,
stiff, rheumatic, and ailing in other ways,-few of
us even then suspect that the principal if not the
only, of trouble, is just that three square
meals which is the common practice of our time
and country.
ness and disease, the most common is undoubtedly
overlooking Practically everybody eats too much.
why, then you ask, ARE there SO many men and
women with thin, undeveloped bodies?"
In answer to this may say that the feeding and
upbuilding of the body depend not SO much on the
quantity of food eaten, as on the quantity dgested
The digestive powers of the body of any man or
woman fixed quantity. If that man or that
woman is careless ignorant as to take more
than the quantity of food needed then little none
of that food will be digested the whole will
ferment and the body will not only be deprived Of
the nutrition which it needs but will be poisoned
poisoned because the fermentation of the undgested
food produces matter which, absorbed into the
blood, will disturb the operation OF every organ IN
the body.
Many SO called diseases merely organic dis
turbance resulting from poisoning of the body by
products of the rotting food in the stomach and
bowels. In fact, do not hesitate to say and feel
that l have proved that seven out of ten cases of
what is commonly called heart disease merely
disturbances of the heart muscle due to the
in the system of poisons formed from rotting food.
Most cases OF what are popularly known as heart
failure and apoplexy can be traced to the same
cause. Then there host of lesser evils-head-
ache, vertigo, dizziness insomnia, nervousness, If
ritabilty, and other discomforts- traceabe to the
same cause
Should anyone question the trustworthiness of
this statement, may remark that its truthfulness
is easily tested. Let him stop dosing himself for
week and reduce the quantity of food ken, first by
one-third, later by one-haf. In practically every
case the result will be marked relief of all distressing
symptoms
So we see that the man or woman who over
feeds is not only poisoned but starved. Often the

fashioned people about heavy eater. He eats so
much it makes him poor to carry 1T, has, then, a
sound scientific basis. The reason for such thnness
is simply that the food taken is not dgested. and
passes through the food tube without feeding the
body The rational cure in such cases IS of course
to eat less so that the overworked organs may be
relieved. They will then digest more, and the body
will gradualy-very gradually, sometimes increase
in weight, strength, and general well being;
lust at this point will ask, We'll, what
is too much?''
To answer that question is not easy, since the
quantity of food needed to keep the body in good
repair will depend upon many things. First of ALL
we must consider the amount of work done by the
body The blacksmith needs more food and can
digest food than the bookkeeper. We all
need food in winter than in summer. And
AS broad, general rule, however, it may be said
that the following represents the approximate guam
tty of food needed by person OF average physique
doing ordinary mental and physical work:
For BREAKFAsT-An apple, raw or baked, or an
equal quantity of some other fruit saucerful of some
good cereal. such boiled rice with cream; glass
of milk and two slices of graham or rye bread.
For LuNcHEoN-A simple salad dressed with
good olive Oil and lemon juice two or three slices
of brown bread.
For DlNNER.-Soup; small quantity of fresh
meat or beans, or pease; one or two cooked vege-
tables; fruit; brown bread.
Anyone who tries this plan of diet is likely to find
after few weeks that he needs still less food. In
most it is advisable gradually to reduce the
even this may be dropped. This means two meals
day divided by period of from eight to ten hours
and this plan has been found by hundreds who have
adopted it under my advice to be perfectly salts
factory method of diet
To many people it will seem that the dietary gwen
is light that it does not contain enough to sustain
the body. Frequently changing to such list the
patient will complain of sensation OF weakness
So does topper who suddenly stops drinking whisky,
and for the same reason. The patient misses the
usual stimulation of heavy foods.
At any rate. for each one the matter is easily
settled. trial of the foregoing dietary for tort
night will convince the most skeptcal of the ad-
vantages of simple feeding.

Death Reveals The Secret

Bozeman, Dec. 11.-After having
lived for 18 years in Manhattan
without the closely-gIarded secret
being even suspected, death has re-
vealed that Sammy" Williams was

the aged man." who died yester-
day, made known the facts to Pub
lie Administrator Nurket and to
Coroner Jump, who are conducting
an investigation.
The revelation has caused a sensa-
ton in the various parts of Gallatin
county where Williams worked as a
cook and lumberjack in many
camps. Always ''he" associated
with men, and so far as known there
was never hint or doubt expressed
that she" was other than che" was
supposed to be.
His" closest friends had no sus-
picion. Occasionally it was laugh
ingly commented upon that the old
imam" never developed signs of a
beard, and that his voice was
rather weak. Still the remarks
passed off without much attention
being paid them, and Williams ex-
pressed no resentment.
Twice while Williams was at the
camps she" was under the care of a
physician and neither time was the
true state of affairs disclosed. In an
accident This" arm was broken and
she" was badly bruised about the
body. Even then the secret was
maintained.
Williams was extremely popular
in the camps, although ''he" never
spoke much about "his" career or
about 'his" past life. 1t was I'M
derstcod, however, that .'he" came
from Oshkosh, Wis. He" worked

their whereabouts are not known.

MONEY HELD
FBOM COUNTIES.

Although under the law the counties
of the state are entitled to receive their
apportionment of railroad taxes from
the main stem sources by November 1,
the fact that these taxes have not all
been collected may make necessary the
passage by the coming legislature of
another enabling act before the State
treasurer can pay out the proportion of
moneys now in his hands.
The situation is similar to that which
existed last year over the. distribution
of the 1906 tax, which should have
been paid to the counties on November
1, 1907. The state comptroller then was
advised that owing to litigation large
amounts of tax moneys had not been
paid, and that he had no authority to
make partial payments to the counties.
Then the legislature passed an enabling
act directing him to pay out the partial
portions in. his possession, but this act
does!not apply to sums received since
Of the 1906 main stem taxes there re-
mains $500. O0C, --the Pennsylvania Rail-
road owing $19S, 900. of this amount.
The courts have recently decided against
the railroads. and they will have to
pay up. November has passed and
they have not done so. Of the 1907
taxes only about s25, 900 isrstill unpaid,
but this is sufficient to hold up the ap-
portionment of about 50, $50, 900 pend

Mr.. Bateman sold some lambs yester-
day and afterwards he turned his flock
of sheep out in the pasture field, or was
doing so, when a large ram, which had
before manifested surly disposition,
made for him, attempting to butt him.
Mr.. Bateman seized the sheep by the
horns and held him, the ram butting
at and pushing him all the time. A
colored man working there ran to Mr..
Bateman's assistance and separated
them, and drove the sheep away, and
locked it up. Mr.. Bateman was ex-
hausted and was carried to the house.
He said the ram did not butt him, but
he was suffering so much that DR..
