Used Another Mans Leqs.

In the hall OF the house of represent
atives there is painting Of George
Washington. He looks a most COM
handing person. with the stature of
a giant and a faultless physique. But
looking at the portrait recently a pub
lie man commented:
"That Is a good deal Of sham.
George Washington never looked like
that, though I've no doubt he would
have been proud to appear so magnifl-
cent.
Notice the legs" the speaker con-
tinued. ''They are perfect beauties,
but they are not Washington's. They
are the legs of General Smith Of New
Jersey. a soldier Of the Revolution.
1T happened this way" he explain
ed In conclusions: washington had
quite unimpressive legs, and the artist
who painted that picture was so dis
satisfied with their shape that he per-
suaded General Smith to lend his
faultlcss members as models. So,
while we have the face and torso Of
our great first president. the support
ing legs are those Of one Of his gen
erals. Long may they stand"-Wash-
ington Post.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Balancing tho Diet.

A balanced diet means one in
which heterogeneous and non-nitro-
genous or acid combining foods
are properly combined. and to
find this proper combination we
have only to turn to the guide
that nature has given us. For
the maintenance Of life Ii Is nee
essary that the air we breathe
should contain approximately 70
per cent nitrogen and 81 per cent
oxygen. Strangely enough. the
foods we eat should be gagged
In about the same ratio. There
should be 70 per cent of al
luminous or heterogeneous foods.
and there should be Fl per cent
Of foods that will tend to Offset
the i'll effects or prevent the ac-
emulation Of an overabundance
Of the heterogeneous elements.
Meats, poultry, corn, beans, peas,
cereals, cheese. potatoes. etc.. are
among the most commonly eaten
heterogeneous foods. To balance
the diet satisfactorily get good
work on floods" and find out not
only what the heterogeneous sub
stances are. but just how much
nitrogen each contains. These
facts once firmly impressed upon
the mind, 1t will be an easy mat
ter to adjust the diet to meet
the necessary conditions.

Prision Labor.

Jackson, August 2.-Warden
Simpson of Jackson prison, is not in
favor of the plan to hire convicts out
10 different counties in the state to
work on the roads. He said Mon
day that if the board of control de-
sired 1t he stood ready to handle the
matter to the best possible way, but
did not think it would be success.
I'm my opinion the plan is not
practical in Michigan" said the war
den in discussing the scheme.
81 know that in Oregon and Geor-
gia and other states the plan has
been a success, but there is too much
bad weather in Michigan to make 1t
pay.
1'rhe men would be let out to coun-
lies that asked for them and the
counties would have to pay their
board and lodgings. On stormy days
when they could not work the ex-
pense of their keep would go on just
the same and / think the county
O6icials would find they had made a
mad investment.
The question furnishing employ
mcnt for the prisoners is one that
is causing board of control a good
deal of concern just now. Most of
she prison contracts expire soon and
something must be found to keep the
men busy. Of The four contracts
now In force at the prison only one
has any great length of time yet to
run. Wilmington and Cooley's No.
contract expires January, 1912.
Their No. 2 contract is out July 1,
1912. They employ SO men on each
contract The c. w. Hills Granite
Works contract expires July 81, 1912
They employ 80 men. The contract
Of the Michigan Seating Co., employ
ing 80 men, however, runs till Nov. l.,
1915: The legislature at the last
session appropriated $62,50O to
be used in furnishing employment for
gtste prisoners"

State Encampmsnt.

Lansing, August General p. L..
Abbey has tentatively planned the
work of the Michigan National
Guard for the ten days tour of SER
vice at Port Huron, beginning Aug
gust 8. The program indicates the
volunteer soldiers will have an in
structive and interesting period,
with maneuvers and drills enough to
keep everyone busy.
The first two days will be devoted
to drills, by companies, battalions
and regiments and then will come the
first of the maneuvers in the form OF
outpost duty or advance guard oper-
atoms, with plenty of hiking and SER
vice which will test the previous
training of the guardsmen in scout
ing and reconnaissance. On Sunday
the regular field inspection will take
place in the morning, every camp
being visited and inspected as to
cleanliness, sanitary conditions and
the appearance of the men. In the
afternoon the big ceremonial event
of the week will take place, in the
form of a review of the entire COM
mand by Gov. Osborn. 1t will be
the first time all of the state troops
have been assembled for review in
four years and it is probable there
will be big crowds in Port Huron to
witness the ceremonies. Citizens
who used to visit the soldiers in the
old days at Island Lake will find con-
ditions radically changed in this
coming camp.
In those former camps each COM
pany maintained open house for
friends and big dinners were served
to a multitude. This form of enter
tainment is impossible nowadays ow-
ing to fact that there are no dishes
in camp for serving such meal, the
only utensils of that character being
the mess kits of tin plate which the
men carry. The chests of earthen
dishes were abolished at the time of
the Spanish war and have not been
put in use since, in consequence of
which visitors will have to rely on
hotels and restaurants for their
meals on that day.
On Monday the move from the per-
manent camp out to Boards hill will
be made. There will be a parade
through the city in the morning of
all troops and then the infantry will
entrain for 12-mile ride on board
cars out to the scene of the principal
maneuver, while the mounted troops
will make the trip across country.
The men will not return until Tues
day night or Wednesday morning.
Other maneuvers will take up the
time of the encampment
and in addition there will be the COM
pany shooting for the Post trophy on
the range of the Port Huron COM
pany. Water mains are being laid
on the camp site and the tentage will
be issued to the troops as fast as
they arrive at Port Huron.

GRANGE OF THE FUTURE.
Address by tho President of Massa.
chusetts Agricultural College.

Address by the President of Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College.
President Kenyon L. Butterfeld
gave some excellent suggestions as to
what the grange must do and be in the
future II 1t would attain the highest
success. He said the grange was orig
inally organized for the purpose Of aid
Ing the farmers to sell for more and
buy for less, but the Order had greatly
increased the field Of its labor since
then. : 1t had proved great benefit to
the, farmers and has given them q
much greater influence In their COM
munities.
Conditions are changing, and the
grange Of the future must face them.
The consumer is calling for better and
more varied products. The New Eng
land farmer must meet the competi-
ton Of the new land Of the great west.
He must practice intensive farming.
He must have better distribution Of
his products. The farmer and the
consumer must be brought nearer to-
gether. The grange of the future must
work less for the benefit Of the in
dividual and more for the benefit Of
the whole community. The grange
must become national rather than a
sectional organization. The grange
must stand for the farmer and fight
the farmers battle. 1t must be a
studying organization. 1t should be
careful to know what It is doing and
what the effect Of what 1t does will be.
The time Is coming when the true test
Of the grange will be what 1t does or
has done for the community. The
grange Of tomorrow must be agrees
sive and work outside Of the grange
for the reforms advocated In the
grange. 1t must also work out a bet
ter method Of cooperation.

ROAD TO BE COMPLETED.
Lien for $6,OOO,OOO Given to Secure
Bonds for Completion of Line to

Greenville, Jan. 26.-A $4,000, 900
mortgage has been recorded in Green
vile by the Greenville & Knoxville

line through to Knoxville from the
present terminus at RivervieN, 25

gate $4,000 per mile FOR construc-
ton. This is taken to mean that the
road will be built through to Knox
vile without further delay. The
mortgage is given to the Central Bank
and Trust company of Atlanta.
The distance to be traversed by the
road is about 200 miles, and it's COM
pletion will give Greenville a direct
line to the coal fields which has been
so long desired.
The mortgage is signed by w. H..
PATTERSON, president Of the Green
Vile & Knoxville, and d. c. Patterson,
secretary. The deed also bears the
signature of Asa G. Candier, president
Of the Atlanta Bank and Trust com
pany.
The road will touch Brevard, Hen

other towns between the latter point
and Knoxville.
