DIET AND HEALTH

CHANGING DRINKING WATER

Or. w. {. Evans says that In
furious effects following changes
In drinking water are not due to
difference In the chemical COM
position Of the water, as was
formerly supposed, but to the
fact that we become adapted to
antldoting certain germs that
abound In water, as In food, and
that the system cannot readily
antldote a different class Of
germs found In different water.
II Is for the same reason, no
doubt, that germs residing In
our own bodies may cause US no
harm, while we may be unable
to Withstand the attacks of
those conveyed from others.
And the same applies tosfood
and hence the Injurious effect OF
an extravagantly mixed and con-
stantly varying diet, and hence,
also, the benefit derived from
the monodiet, especially In sick
ness.

Junction City-Thursday-. Last
evening out at the boy scout camp
the evening was known as Indian
night. Sergt. Hale, one of the vet
Grams of a number of Indian cam
paigns, visited the camp, the guest
of Rev. Mr.. Hart, and after the
stars and stripes were taken down
from the staff the boys gathered In
a circle around Sergt. Hale who
was seated on camp stool and he
told of several of the Indian fights
he was in. He told of the campaign
with Custer and the other plains
men, then of the battle of Wounded
Knee, up in the Dakotas, and then
told of the Cuba campaign. At the
darkness came on the stories of the
fights with the Indians became more
vivid. Many of the boys got pretty
close to the old scout and he had
most attractive audience. Even the
old folks were interested and the
boys will long remember the stories
told them by the old scout who
spent many nights on the plans with
the sky as his covering.

Junction City-Thursday-The
oy scouts at the camp on the Wallie
Clark farm are having a good time
in spite of the hot weather. This
morning the boys all went in swim
ming, and had good time splash
ing around in the water. No def
mite program was arranged for this
afternoon, because of the heat.
There has been no sickness at the
camp although several Of the boys
became slightly indisposed through
drinking too much water.
John Lind, who is the cook in
charge of the meals at the camp,
has given the boys a fine bill of fare
this week and he knows how to
provide for a camp of boys. In the
camp are SO boys and they have
fair appetites at every meal. The
boys each have their tin plate, knife,
fork and spoon and cup, and they
march up to the cook with their
pan and get their meal. Mr. Lind
has been an army cook, has cooked
for a number of camping parties
and knows what is good to eat when
out in the woods.

may be disposed of. AS there are
more than 300 cases on what is known

both governments have agreed shall

Is to wipe out all claims between the
