WHAT FOOD GIVES YOU ENERGY.
Bread" says the Scientist Who Has
1t all Figured Out.

How many units of energy are stored
up in your breakfast-your dinner
your supper?
How many pounds will that light
little, white little biscuit, melting a
half ounce spread of golden butter, put
into your hammer blow the next time
you strike nail-or your thumb?
You can know to certainty. 1t has
all been figured out for you.
The next time you square yourself be-
fore stack of hot wheat cakes armed
with the maple syrup, or reflect on the
delectable qualities of generous slice
Of cake like mother used to bake you
can say to yourself. This means ump-
teen thousand units of good strong
right arm for that garden hoeing, or
furnace cleaning. It's lots of satisfac-
tion.
Figures collected by some inquiring
statistician Of the Bowersock Mills &
Power Company Of Lawrence, Kansas,
put the information right in your hands
in convenient form. Being based on
Government reports they are eminently
trustworthy.

Cruelty to Horses.

The abuse of animals is an otfense
against the law which only needs be in
formed against to insure the punish
ment of those indulging in the same.
If some of the cruel teamsters of the
town do not wish to be fined for abuse
Of horses by overlooking teams with
coal and then beating the poor animals
for not pulling more than they are able,
as has been witnessed the past week.
They would do we'll to respect the law
and practice more humane principles.
The writer of these lines saw a. driver
beat his horses till one fell in the har-
ness and both were quite winded, be-
cause they could not haul an overload
ed wagon of coal up steep embank-
ment. Had he not refrained when
ordered to do so an arrest would surely
have followed and would have taught
one driver lesson. Next time an e1-
ample will surely be made of such a
driver. A WITNESS.

Recovered His Watch.

AS Joe Barrett was passing through
an orchard on a farm belonging to Otis
Deisher in Woodland township one day
last week and looking among the
branches for apples as boys are won't to
do, he thought he had discovered veg
etable Christmas tree, as hanging to
one of the branches we'll up in the tree
was bright and shining watch with a
fob and seal attached. He secured
the watch and soon heard it belonged
to rural mail carrier, Joe Forster, who
about two months before had also been
tempted by the shining red apples on
the tree and leaving his team in the
road scaled the fence and climbed the
tree to secure some Of the fruit. He
afterwards missed his watch, but after
repeatedly searching under and about
the tree for it he concluded chat his
watch was lost for good. 1t was re-
turned to him by the finder and was in
good running order notwithstanding it's
exposure to the weather for two
months.-Lineville Tribune.
