HOT WEATHER DIET.

Just as it is easy to lead horse to water, but impossible to make him drink unless he feels like it, just so it is easy to give good advice about what to eat in hot weather 1; but most people think they know all about it and will go on eating much the old way, says the New Haven Union. One thing that most persons will discover for themselves is that not nearly so much food is neces- sary in hot weather as in cool or cold. This is so well understood 1nstinctively that the scientific reasons need not be discussed.
 The wonder is that there is not more sickness and higher death rate when 1t is considered that most people eat and drink most carelessly in hot weather. If the quantity of food be decreased, the kind and quality receive too little atten- tion, and especially do the children in one way or another get too much unripe and diseased fruit. They, and their elders as well, drink too much ice water and other cold beverages, and the ten- dency is to indulge too freely ill all sorts of ices. Much of what is called thirst is imagination, and with the exercise of a little power most of the cold things taken into the stomach could be dis pensed with.
 Fat meats and oils are healing, and the system really needs very little meat of any kind. Sea food is good hot weather diet, if it be had fresh from the water. So eggs are excellent. provided they also are fresh from the nest as nearly as may be. Ripe fruit in moder- ate quantities is always good, but the skin should either be removed or thoroughly washed. as microbes find themselves very much at home on fruit.
 Above all, stimulating drinks add to the heat of the system, and if taken at all should be used with extreme modera. tion. Yet some scientists have asserted that ice water has slain more people than alcohol or at least more than malt liquors. But it is a good hot weather motto to be moderate i'll everything even in work.

Letters From the People
Forest Destruction,
To the Editor of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
 Governors of Western States are be- ing besought to order general prayers for rain. In Kansas it has also been suggested that ponds and pools be made so that another dry spell may find the country prepared. Dry. over-soil farm ing is receiving more scientific attention.
 But in all this time of personal suffer- ing and great financial loss. we. fail to find one intelligent suggestion that drought may be caused by the destruc- tion of the forests not the ightest re- fection that the erosion of the exposed soil of the water sheds of the country may shift or delay or forever lessen the normal precipitation.
 Any child may observe that moisture is preserved under every vegetable vine or plant in the garden. Any child can apply this simple fact to the conserving effect of forest of standing trees. But no grown person g1ves even the benefit of doubt to the connection between draught and forest destruction.
 We do not decry prayers for rail but we cry aloud the more tangible religious philosophy "Heaven helps those who help themselves Replant the forests. Replant by law whatever cutting Is done. xxx

An Invitation.

To the Editor of The News:
 When we read and learn about all the accidents and casualties all over the United States, by automobiles, motor cycles and such, it is enough to give one the shivers or shakes. 1t is neither just, reasonable or humane, that the crazy auto drivers be allowed to continue in their reckless way of daredevil driving on our public highways. It is not safe for any man to take his wife or children to town, church or any other place, these days, for they are all liable to be killed on the way, or he will have to drive across lots, through the fields. in order to get to hIs destination with any degree of safety. Pedestrians are in just as much danger. for they will have to jump fences or climb trees at the first sound or toot of these destructive buzz.wagons. There ought and surely will be state laws enacted for the safety of the general public.
 Now let me tell your readers about the constructions of a boulevard or wide drive-w way from Duluth to Two Harbors. 1 am informed that it will be wide enough for four vehicles to pass oyer. and foot-path at one side for pedestri- ans. There will be two tracks for autos and two for teams. so that they can pass each other going in opposite directions.
 Right here wish to suggest that this idea of road construction ought to be sent in by petition of the people to tho legis- lature of every state Tn the Union, for surely all rightful citizens of this country are entitled to some protection in going about in pursuit of their business, or the pleasures of life.
 Now this driveway that is to be con- struoted between Duluth and Two liar bors, and to cost $l 100000 will surely be continued up through Lake and Cook Counties. Lake County has done some work on this north shore driveway, and Cook County pledged herself to give $60, 900 for the completion of this route to the Canadian line.
 This beautiful road will command varied and pleasing as well as interest ing scenery and views of Lake Superior, with its many boats and barges plying all the time back and forth on this worlds greatest and most beautiful in- , land body of water, and this will make ! it one of the most Rleasing scenic drive ways in the west.
 So, MT. Editor, if you or any other Canaanite conclude to take a trip out this way for pleasure and to see the sights, come up to this favored country, where the people do things; where the boys are strong and brave, and the girls are pretty and good, and when you board the cars you will make no mls- take if your railway ticket reads Two Harbors, Minn. CHAs. A. HARRIS. Two Harbors, Minn. D.

The turf editor set his teeth firmly, stared hard at the wall in front of him few moments, and wrote the following reply: "In case a player snaggles his iron, it is permissible for him to fuzzle his put; but a better plan would be for him to drop his guppy into the pringle and snoodle it out with 8 niblick. ."-Ohicago Tribune.

The Home Town,


 Traced to the sources of most of life's blessings will be found to have their root that aggregation of human beings and human interests known as town. The town is the unit of modern civilization and is the channel through which civil ization confers it's benefits. There is scarcely 8 phase of civilization that does not find direct and specific expres- sion ill the life and organization of d town that is large enough to have 8 school, a courthouse, library, a bank, mill or factory, a church, a waterw orks, brass band, newspaper and a railroad station. Representing education, juris- prudence, literature, finance, industry. religion, hygiene, art, and the speedy distribution of intelligence and com modities, these institutions express all that is highest and pest in human achievement. Its civilization is good. then the home town is good, and the cit. izens should be proud and thankful of 1t. People seldom stop to consider how much their town means to them. They take 1t too much for granted, and in counting up their blessings make a superficial in ventory that fails to credit the source from which many of their dearest bene- fits now. It is easy to overlook the home town in summing up the sources of ones happiness because the town is such a large, allenveloping thing-so large, in fact, that it's hard to see-and the citi- zen blindly draws sustenance from it like an infant from it's mother. Instead of casting wondering and enyious glances at a distant New York, let us glow with pride for our own little town, realizing that the difference is only one of degree and not of kind.

FAITH IN PRAYER.

A good story is going the rounds. A Concord man of considerable wit, and much sense attended religious services Tn Boston one Sunday morning during a drouth. He heard the minister make an eloquent prayer for rain. The next morning the Concord layman started for Boston, carrying his umbrella under his arm. On the street he met the Boston minister who the day before had prayed 80 earnestly for rain. The Concord lay man stopped the minister and asked abruptly. +'Do you believe ill prayer, and that prayers are answered?" The min ister replied most emphatically that he did Then the layman hurled back at him this remark "Then where in thunder is your umbrella?''

 With the weaker we must share. Thus we'll find life's sweetest comfort From beginning to the end, If with faith and trust unbroken
 We minister, friend to friend.
