THE FOOLISH FLIES.

There was once an old fly who
had very large family. She loved
them very much.
: Every morning when they were
about to take their daily journey
I'm search of food she would call
them together and say:
"Now. children, ! cannot watch
you all. Do not tread upon dan
gerous ground, All the housewives
hate " and lay plans to destroy

ful," they answered hastily, anxious

They found AZ fine saucer OF
honey. How delicious It looked!
They decided they would go just
TO the edge OF the dish. Surely nc
harm could befall them there!
After they had had n fine meal
= they tried to get away. But OH
their feet stuck fast. Vainly they
tusged and pulled to free them
selves. They buzzed loudly, and
mother came flying to see what the
trouble was.
She told them to jerk away. Al
last they We're completely exhaust
I'D from their many vain efforts
and died before the very eyes OF
their mother.

make total of 800. And there re-
mains $3.50 to be used for insur-
ance. amusements. educational pur-
poses and savings.
The minimum food account is
fixed; it can be reduced no further
to accommodate smaller income.
Since more than half of the
15,000,000 families of the country
are living on less than $500 "A year,
it follows that they are spending 80
per cent of their wages for food
alone.
And even the schedule makers
cannot make the remaining 80 per
cent bulge sufficiently to include
amusements and insurance and
savings.

FAMlL Y EXPENSE WORKED :

II is not always easy to get a
pile of receipted bills into the

The bills have a way of sticking

So we see that the man or wo-
man who overfeeds Is not only
poisoned but starved. Often the
body of such person is very thin,
He eats so much it makes him
poor to carry it," Is a sound scien-
tific fact. The reason for such thin
ness is simply that the food taken
is not digested: and so passes
through the food tube without feed
ing the body.
The rational cure in such cases
is, of course, to eat less, so that
the overworked organs shall be re-
lieved. They will then digest more;
and the body will gradually, very
gradually sometimes, increase in
weight, strength and general well
being.
Just at this point someone will
ask: We'll, what is too much?"
To answer that question is not
easy, since the amount 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 more food
than the bOokkeeper. We all need
more food in winter than in sum-
mer. And so on.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the rseuIt, and unless the m- flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but an in famed condition of the mucous sur faces.

Barton's Lecture Course,

The outline of Barton's lecture
course has been arranged, although all
of the dates have not been definitely
decided upon. Our dates are to har-
monize with those of Orleans as far as
possible as their talent is nearly the
same, although we have one more num-
Der than they. The Eastern Concert
company will open the course the
very first of December the evening of
the second or third. This is a high
grade company consisting of instru-
mental and vocal numbers and read
ings by Miss Bass, reader who is
spoken of very highly by the press
everywhere. Among the numbers
later will be Victor and his Venetian
band of 26 men, famous band and
one of the highest priced entertain
ments ever brought by the course.
Byron c. Piatt, lecturer of great re-
source and power and highly popular
wherever heard will also be one of
the numbers. Watch for further an
nouncement.

Steel Penstock at Plunkett.

A gang of men are at work on the
dam of Barton Electric plant at
Plunkett, putting in some concrete
work and getting the steel penstock
ready to replace the wooden one now
in use. AS announced in this paper
some time ago it is expected the viii
lage will be lighted from the Island
Pond plant during the time when the
new penstock is being put in place.
When this is completed the plant will
be as permanent as such things are,
and by doing away with the leak of
the wooden penstock now in use more
power will be developed and less
trouble experienced at the station.

Two Successful Irasburg BOYS.

It was in June 1884, that Arthur D.
Holman, now contractor and builder
went to Ellis, Kansas. On the follow
ing Thanksgiving his elder brother
Bion also went, and for three years
they worked for the Union Pacific
railroad Company at So per dag,
building bridges and depots. During
the time, they took up claims, holding
them until they became owners, dis
posing of them later at good price.
Bion has worked for the Union Pacific
Railroad Company for Is years. and
has been back east three times but
still resides in Ellis with his wife and
son and is now able to take life easy
and comfortable.
Arthur, after the three years spent
in Ellis, journeyed on to Cotton, Cal. !,
working for the Cotton Marble Com
pany IS craftsman at 81. per day.
After two years spent there, he
JouTneyed home on visit. After the
expiration of eight months he went to
Colorado Springs, COL, where he has
resided for the past twenty years with
the exception of two years, with his
wife and two sons he spent at Los
Angeles and Long beach. Cal.
Some of the finest residences in that
rich and beautiful city, Colorado
Springs COL, were built by him. He
with his estimable wife are among
the most popular people in the city,
free and generous, ready to lend a
helping hand to any who are in need.
A trip east this fall was brought about
by his being sent as official delegate
to the great National Convention of
the Disciples of Christ. Boys who do
their best and live clean lives will pros
per East or West, the above story
being examples of such lives, and
should be an inspiration to all boys.
