wonder upon the infantine sport Of the
Dolls and Teddy bears dance" The
Scotch dancers do not tell yet whether
they are from the famed highlands or
forgotten lowlands. There is a Scotch
dance, however, and even a Marsovian

tarantella.
The kirmess will be held during four
evenings and one matinee beginning
on the evening Of February II at the

SOME IDEAS FOR HOT WEATHER

| DIX uletdTy rules suggested Ill tile
columns of the New York Times by
Winnifred S. Gibbs, dietitian and
teacher of cooking of the New York
Association for Improving the Con-
dition of the Poor, are worthy OF
geneial notice, because they are
simple and can be observed without
discomfort by anybody. They are
as follows:
/. Eat what experience proves
to be best for any individual lido
syncracy.
2. Eat meat once a day and
alternate this with fish, if it can lie
procured absolutely fresh.
3 Use crisp breads instead OF
fresh ones or pastry cereals.
4. Use green vegetable salads
freely. Dress these salads with
plenty of oil and a dash of vinegar.
5. For desserts use perfectly ripe
fruits, water ices favored with fruit
! juices or custard buildings.
6. Use tea and coffee as seems
best for the individual. A sudden
cutting of either of these beverages
is not advisable, according to most
physicians.
1t is further advised that appe-
tite be ignored if it refuses to re-
spond to offerings of food, and that
thirst should be satisfied by system
, attic drinking of cool milk-a glass
at 10 O'Clock in the morning, and
another at 2 O'Clock in the after
noon, and third two hours later.
The don 'ts'' are of more i'm
portance than directions as to diet
| in general during extremely hot
These advise against keeping tho
somach in state of turmoil by
drinking charged and sweetened
beverages and eating made
dishes of rich sauces and general
striving for variety in cooking such
as is provided in winter. They al
so warn the overheated against the
drinking of large quantities of cold
water.
In addition to care as to diet, in
dividuals should endeavor, as much
as possible, to cultivate serenity and
resting. So ial activities should
be reduced to a minimum with the
quantity of solids taken into the
stomach, and worry should be ex-
orcised. The hot weather of this
latitude is of bri f duration and
people generally can withstand it if
they exercise care as to their daily
life. Those who are compelled to
work without regard for weather or
temperature must guard themselves
solely on dietary rules, and by alb
stention from all activities after
their daily work is done.

future. This will double the capacity
and will not make any particular
difference in the supply of ore, which
is practically inexhaustible. So far
only low grade of ore is being run
through the mill and when the mine
is in shape for handling the high
grade along with the low the returns
will run up to high mark. All work
is being laid out Systematically and
within few weeks everything will
he in such shape that there will be no
delays and the company will be run
ming at a better advantage. For the
benefit of the Gold Belt Company, as
well as himself, Mr.. Backstein has
made arrangements to keep perfect
record of each 12-hOurs run.
Of the first years operation the
company is to receive 40 per &c Mt. of
the profits and after that date the
royalty to the company increases !,
which will greatly enhance the value
of the stock of the company.
One of the latest mining companies
to be organized for the purpose of de-
veloping mines in the Clifton Morenci
district is the Clifton-Morenci
copper company. 1t is capitalized at
81 900, 900, divided into 100000 shares
of the par value of $500 each. This
is the company which has. recently
purchased the VIM. Heating group of
mining claims about two miles from
Metcalf, located in what is considered
portion of the best mineraliZed zone
of that section. 1t has been rumored
that this property was purchased by
the G. & A. company, but it is now
stated that the only connection that
the new company has with that com
pany is that some of the Michigan
stockholders in the G. & A. are inter
ested in this new company. The new
company is now doing development
work on its property, which work is
in charge of E. E. Mccormick. The
Heating group contains several ex-
cellent copper showings which have
been developed by the expenditure of
small amount of money, hence with
the expenditure of a large amount of
money, which it is understood the
new company has already raised,
there is little doubt of success.
