The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1910-01-27

The editor and family return
ed this week from a weeks visit
with relatives in Seminole,
Gaines county. We found that
section of country rapidly set
Ting up with farmers and ranch
land is being changed from its
natural state to a state of culti-
walton. There is an immense
amount of rich country in the
vicinity of Seminole and the way
it is being transformed to the
agricultural needs it will not be
many years till that entire sec
ton of the South Plains will be a
continuous farm. The soil is
well adapted to farming. We
believe in years to come that
section will be noted for its pro-
ductiveness IN all lines OF farm
produce and fruits, that soil be-
ing well adapted to the growth
of fruit trees as well as farm
produce.
The town Of Seminole has not
developed a great deal in the
past eighteen months, though
what buildings that have been
erected are substantial and every
thing indicates an eye to the
future, which is seemingly very
bright. That town is very hope
full for the early securing of rail
road facilities, which would put
il in frst-class shape for city
building.

At The 0rpheum Theatre

Manager w. r. Payne has with
him this week at the Orphium
Theatre, Sampson & Walworth.
This troupe without a doubt is
one OF the very best Vaudeville
troups that has ever filled the
dates at this popular playhouse.
The Simpsons are the strongest
people that we ever saw on the
stage in this kind OF a perform
ance. Mrs. Sampson lifting in all
kinds of conceivable shapes rod
with weights on each end that
amounts to 500 pounds, and to
lift this and twirl around with a
man on each end, is only play for
Mr.. Sampson. And besides this,
there is the Walworth family,
who does stunts of several diff
ferent kinds. Walworth per-
forms some wonderful feats on
the roller skates, which is well
worth the price of admission. If
you fail to see this band of Vaude.
vile Comedians, you fail to take
opportunity to see one of the best
that ever made the west.

A Correction

In last weeks issue we made
mention that Mrs. w. Z. Hud-
speth had left for Caldwell in
response to a telegram that her
father Cyrus Hope was not ex-
pected to live. We should have
stated that it was Mrs. w. Z.
Carroll, in place of Mrs. Hud-
speth. In conversation with Mr..
Carroll this morning he says that
at last reports from his wife she
did not look for her father to
live. We hope however that this
will prove wrong and that he will
recover.

New Mill At Stamford

Stamford, Texas, Jan. "a
Manufacturing enterprises are
springing up in Stamford almost
every week. The latest enter
prise to be fostered and put into
the world by Stamford people is
a hay press manufacturing es-
adjustment. The company will
put in machinery for the manu-
facture of hay presses in SIAM
ford, and the concern is to begin
business at an early date.
The company has been capital
lied for $500, 900, most of the
capital being paid in, and a
charter of the company has been
secured. The Offices of the COM
pany are in the Citizens National
bank building. 7. l.. Pennell is
president and DR.. T. f. Jones,
inventor of the press, is secerta-
ry. DR.. Jones claims that the
press will do twice the amount of
work of any other, turning out
on average of two bales per min
ute.
John Callicoat who formerly
lived in Lubbock is interested in
this Press. In fact Mr.. CALI
coat is one Of the mechanics who
built the first press and showed
it TO be what it was.

Where's The Needle

A pretty Ohio school teacher
made the mistake of pinning her
belt three years ago with a need
lie; the needle ran into her back
and could not be found. Just
the other day it was discovered
working out Of the arm Of one
of the trustees Of that same
school, who kept her steady
company about the time the
needle was lost. II was recog
nized as being the same needle
by the expression Of its eye.

that he will be able when he re-

bacteria present in the atmosphere. the
microbe III the food. In fact the
germs are like the poor, ever with us.
until we are not only puzzled what to
eat, but what to breathe or which way
to turn to avoid contact with them.
But microbes and bacteria have
been present in the atmosphere and in
matter ever since time began. They
are part OF the natural surround
ings, and the body if kept in perfect
condition has sufficient resistive power
to enable us to live among them and
remain untouched by them
The danger lies in allowing the sys-
TEN to ruin down and the vital forces
to ebb. SO the BODY becomes an easy
Frey to them. Only pure food should
be used and in these days OF pure food
laws, this is not difficult
The u. S. has established expert
mental and analytical food departments
and is publishing its knowledge freel.
and widely This is an important step
towards the health and strength OF
the nation.
Cherish your body, ior God made it

An interesting contest, which gives
all the boys and girls chance to
show their town spirit. win for their
library and at the same time provide
for themselves some hours of pleasure
is now in progress. In the library,
displayed on a bulletin board, is a
large card on which are pictured the
characters with which the reader be-
comes acquainted by reading "'rhe
Childrens' Hour" collection Of ten
books which has been recently p,i.-
chased by the library. Houehton, Milf
film Company. the publishers Of these
books, has offered 155 ,,i:lzes aggregat-

The first prtze given for the best list
OF Characters which have been recog-

books.
Some Of Newark's latest genera

guessing.
Last Friday, one of these little
citizens" walked into the library, spied
the picture, asked all about it, i'm
mediately fell in with the proposition,
drew up chair and got to work.
With many exclamatio.ls of delight
he discovered one old friend after an
other, being lost in the mysteries OF
the puzzle, until parental authority
drew him homeward.
His reluctant Goodnight was ac-
companied with the statement that he
would be back in the morning.

A HEALTHY BODY
PRICELESS POSSESSION
Written for NEWARK POST.)

Scientific research along the lines
OF electricity, metaphysics, medicine
and art has been tenaciously pursued
for centuries; yet the scientific study
OF the natural means OF keeping the
body in health, that the individual
may be in perfect condit;o mentally
and morally has been OF recent date.
The body is very marvellous ma
chine, seli-building, self-reparing and
to a much greater degree than is us
ually supposed, seliregu,ating a care
full study must be made of the fuel to
be used to keep this wonderful ma
chine in perfect order.
The food we eat is the fuel and the
entire body-bone, muscle, blood
brain and nerve, heat and energy and
consequently activity OF the brain and
body are all formed from the food
assimilated. Every particle of the
bodily substance is constantly chang
ing, and the tearing down and re-
building must be replaced by proper
food
The whole problem OF perfect health
and efficient activity is in keeping the
supply equal to the demand A great
many of the ills of the body can be
traced almost directly to improper
food and improper eating.
Improper food retards the growth,
both spiritual and mental Food taken
into the bod yat the wrong time acts
as poison instead OF nourishment In
cases OF great bodily or mental fatigue
great care must be used in diet or the
reverse from the result desired will be
attained The simple laws OF nature,
III the care OF the body, are plain and
easy to follow. "The Simple Life" so
much talked about, embraces eating
and the care OF the body, as we'll as
the habits of doing and thinking" 7"
Upon the wife and mother OF the
family usually depends the duty of pre-
rebuilding and repairing the waste OF
the body. She should therefore make
careful dietary study to provide the
largest amount OF nourishment, giving
due attention to variety and palatabil
ity. And she has no light task.
The man doing hard, physical labor
needs different diet from the man sit
ting all day at mental occupation. The
school children need the greatest at
tention paid to their eating and to the
elimination of the waste products, or
the child will be dull, heavy, sleepy
and make poor progress in his studies.
The diet should be mixed one and
varied from day to day and from sea.
son to season Much is said about the
