CHAPTER vii.
The cofirn-shaped Box.

The coffin-shaped Boz.
After Capt. Tom Phinney rejoined
the two girls. he was not long in COM
pretending that his and their moods
had become reversed. In some unac-
countable way. during the few hours
Of their separation. Where he had
been nNweighted down by no very press
ing anxiety. and they unmistakably
had been. he was now taciturn under
stress Of an acute and growing men
tai perturbation, while his companions
apparently were care-free and happy.
The change was most noticeable in
Jessie Willard. for beneath Delia's gay
humor there still ran an undercurrent
Of gravity.
However, even Jessie remained more
or less distract; but that her thoughts
were not unpleasant her glowing coun-
tenance and an unfathomable light in
her eyes attested.
As the car drew up at the piazza
where Tom was waiting. Jessie ciapped
her hands and cried enthusiastically:
Let's combine breakfast and lunch
con here! We shall have the place all
to ourselves. There is nothing SO tire
some Is being cooped up In q yacht
that doesn't go anywhere"
The others agreed; but in spite of
the light-hearted chatter of the two
girls. Tom was constantly relapsing
into a state of gloomy. preoccupied ST.
lence.
On one occasion he detected Della
regarding him with a curious look.

HOT WEATHER DIET.

| Without protein or albumen Ire cam
| not continue. It can be got from nu-
merous sources more or less easily
| and in combinations of various de-
grees of digestibility. but it is we'll to
hold firmly in mind the fundamental
fact that every spark OF the energy
that twinkles in our eyes. that moves
our muscles and Quickens our imagi-
nation is sunlight first condenscd and
woven into the vegetable cell. And
the closer we keep to the origin OF
our life the less trouble are we likely
to experience.
For various reasons and as result
of the highly artificial conditions un-
der which the human animal is living
we have been forced from the source
OF our natural food supply, but never
with advantage, because the proteins
condensed In meat are mixed with the
poisonous waste products from the It's
sues of other animals.
II 1t were a question Of feeding
horses. cows or pigs all the necessary
information could be found In innu-
merable popular treatises. government
bulletins, magazines and agricultural
papers. Any one can learn in day
how and what to give to trotting
horse, or how much and what to feed
a working horse, and there 10 no dis
pute on the general proposition that
II the rations are reversed inevitable
disaster will result to both. But at
tempt to select the right Ingredients
and proportions of food for the nutri-
tion Of men and women and you are
confronted with mass Of contradic-
tions. fads and fancies. the only es-
cape from which is to wade through
abstruse and scientific treatises.
In warm weather 1t should be our
aim to diminish unnecessary heat pro-
duction as much as possible. at the
same time taking sufficient food to
maintain the body in at least approx
mate equilibrium. A brief study of
the tables given In bulletin No. 2s.
United States department OF agricul-
ture, The Chemical Composition of
American Food Materials" will show
that this may be advantaseously
achieved by the use Of fruits. vege-
meats are especially to be avoided in
hot weather. because not only is there
no specific need for them, but also be-
cause. on account Of the greater sensi-
tiveness OF the gastro-intestinal tract
during hot seasons, there Is greater
liability of disturbance from eating
undue quantities Of rich heterogeneous
foods
We have noted that the average
man of $50 pounds weight requires
about $500 calories to live with com
fort and without loss. Referring to.
our tables. we find the following a fair
average diet for day. and this may
very easily be varied to meet indi-
vidunl requirements.

CLIFTON ITEMS

Petitions are being circulated and
numerously signed urging the ap-
pointment of F. II. Meyers, the pres
ent incumbent as postmaster. to sue
coed himself. The fourth class Of
fices now are all to be placed under
civil service. and an examination will
be held in a short time for the local
office. Clifton patrons of the office
are almost unit in their support
of Mr.. Meyers for reappointment. for
he has made success of the local
office and assisted materially in
building it up to high state of eff
cheney.
Not long ago the Clifton office
was commended at a state convention
as being one OF the best conducted in
Colorado. and the rapid growth of
the local office has been due in a
large -a1er to the efficient methods
installed by Postmaster Meyers.
The only other applicant for the
office l. said to be ]. Z. Hornbaker.
who is n Democrat, while the pres
ent postmaster is a Republican.
The postmaster general has re-
Gently sent out q circular letter. in
which he declared that fourth class
postmasters would be appointed on
merit alone and that politics would

Six to eight hundred acres of al
falfa will be planted in the Clifton
section this spring. The land is now
being prepared for the crop, and by
next year 1t will not be necessary to
import a single car of alfalfa in this
section.
Local merchants have handled six
to eight thousand pounds of seed
this year, and several thousand
pounds have been shipped in by pri-
vate parties. The Cross orchards
will put in big acreage in alfalfa
and the Gardners are also planning
to plant a number of acres.
Most OF the alfalfa, however. is be-
ing planted In from one to five-acre
tracts, and the rancher who doesn't t
grow enough feed for his own stock
this season and hereafter will be a
rarity. instead of the usual thing.
incidentally quite n few of the ranch
ers in this section are figuring on
buying COWS, and in n year or two
will go into the business quite extern
sively.
