tor Vordale of the Dodgeville Sun-Re-

friend Howell Evans of that place. 1t

white caps, marble halls, bum farms,

country for a high old time if you have
so many cart wheels you can't spend

practical demonstrations to farmers
and roadmasters in surfacing, grading
and leveling roads every day of fair
week.
Remember that the coolest foods
are not necessarily the most cooling
foods. Ice cream, unless it is of the
poorest factory variety has high per
cent of fat, the most heating of all the
food principles. A cup of hot water
starts the perspiration. This tends to
cool the body and what is better still,
it adds ON fuel to the flre within. To
perspire may be inconvenient, but it is
cooling.

sell money orders, stamps, and collect
for registered mail, etc, etc, for $1,000

carriers do and get. You wouldn't do
it, no? There are intelligent men who
do it. They have been doing it for less
till now.
