AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE.

'Tis the day after Christ as; oh,
WOW, what din;
The kidlets are footing their trum-
pets of tin;
While others are handing the drum
head a blow,
For daddy has told 'em to beat iC,
you know.
The day after Christmas is nearly as
bad,
AS Christmas itself, but little more
sad,
For those who've devoured more del
icate dope
Than tummies could hold unless tied
with a rope.
Our mother is nervous and father is
broke,
And Bobbys so sick that we thought
he would croak;
And auntie's exhausted and sister
Lucille
Admits she is peeved and worn down
at the heel.
It's the day after Christmas, I'm
thankful it's here;
Thank fortune the doings come once
in the year.
Although it was merry, it's over,
Clarice,
So good will to all, and on earth
perfect peace.

An Old English Bible.

We had the pleasure this morning
of looking over a very old English
bible, the property of Mrs. Pearson
who lives on Washington street. The
bible bears the inscription: Jane
Wotton, her book. 1873" which
shows how aged It is. OF course
the print is in the peculiar old Eng
lish style of type, and this, added t.
it's extreme age, makes it very in
teresting book to peruse.

best dried apples was hauled by the
bride herself to he parsonage door

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS

WHOLE WHEAT FOODS.

All of the entire wheat prepa-
rations on the market, whether
cooked or not, have been more
or less injured by excessive
roasting or by steriIizing to pre-
vent them from spelling readily.
Many of these preparations are
better than fresh white bread,
especially for c rem, but none
of them has all the nutritive
value of the original wheat.
Wheat can be obtained from a
country mill cracked after pass
ing through the cleaning proc
ess. This grain prepared in the
fire!ess cooker contains all the
n"triGnent of the wheat, per-
feet food for the adult. The un-
broken grain will keep longer
and the finely ground whole
wheat flour, which is rarely
N)und In stores, keeps only a
short time. Most of the cat
flakes on the market have been
cooked, some being roasted so
much as to be much reduced in
nutritiVe value.

Power of Human Nature.

After all, whatever is an element Of
power, if it is properly extracted and
applied, is at his command, without
question, who can successfully use it.
But in trying to influence people, put
human nature under what you do. Re
membering what we, ourselves, like
and want is to foresee fairly well
what the great public will respond to.
And there can be little guesswork in
getting at this.

That He Is Safe.

return safely to this city, says the
Duluth News Tribune. Although no
word has been received from him or
the slightest clue found as to his
whereabouts. some of the friends OF
the man are confident that no harm
has come to the doctor
Several things inspire this belief.
The eccentric character of DR.. Jackola
is the principal one. and another Is
the rumor that Jackola once before
disappeared in the same way and af-
ter an absence of several weeks, re-
turned to his home This happened
before the doctor came to Duluth.
The local police. however hold to
their first belief. that DR.. Jackola Is

Jackola has been missing just two

caused by the salute from heavy guns

and the other from the burden OF a
