Umbrella Morals.

Not long ago at tea said man
who frequents such decadent diver
easements, somebody walked off with
a new umbrella of mine. What | got
in return was not fit for publication.
81 spoke to the host about 1.-THE
tea was at bachelor apartment-and
he gave me a list of all those present
with their addresses, about twenty-five
persons, suggesting that l write and
ask who had new umbrella In place
Of an old one
Il took it with some degree Of hope
which he at once crushed by telling
me that on one occasion he had lost
new silk hat at social function
and the hostess had given him list
Of sixty-four men who had been among
those present. He wrote to the entire
lot and received four replies in the
negative. The others simply ignored
his notes of inquiry.
"Thereupon l concluded to let some.
body have my new umbrella. But
stealing's stealing just the same, in
my opinion"

FRUIT A HEALTHFUL FOOD
Fact Is, Mankind Does Not Eat
Enough of II, Is Opinion
of Expert.

Food can be conveniently divided
into seven classes-fruits, nuts, vege
tables, grains, legumes, miscellaneous
and meat. Fruits, the least known,
says an article in Health Culture, are
the most important. They include
tree products, berries and melons.
Only A per cent of the food we con-
sumo in this country is fruit. Man
'is anatomically, physically. historic
ally, deductively, additionally and
morally a fruit eater" Yet we not
only eat little of it, but are restrained
from it by superstition that 1t causes
ailments. When ripened fruit is
dropped by the plant it is a mass OF
living cells that form society of In.
dividuals, each Independent of the 9TH
er. When eaten they give life to the
consumer In animal foods putrefac-
ton begins its work Immediately on
the death of the animal. There is
fermentation in fruits, but no rot
tenness" until the organized ferments
enter through a break in the skin
The subject is a large one and runs
to technical analysis that is OF little
help for everyday use. But, generally
speaking, one can stand by the axiom
that fruit is a healthful food, one that
if fresh and clean should be beneficial
and not harmful. Waste products
which cause the peristaltic action of
the digestive tract form an important
part of the diet and one that is usual.
ly overlooked. Crude fiber is the best
waste product. Fruits produce an
ideal crude fiber

Fireman William Hughes, also of Free

FIVE ARE HURT IN WRECK
Broken Wheel Causes DeraiIment of
Seven Cars on Fast Train Near
Milwaukee.

Milwaukee.-Seven cars were de-
rallied and five persons injured when
front wheel on the baggage car on
the Milwaukee road Chicago to Mil
waukee flyer, No 5, broke near the
lakewood station.
Although going sixty miles an
hour when the wreck occurred the
train was brought to stop miracu-
lousy quick The baggage car turn
ed half over and across the tracks
and the steel coaches, all clear of the
tracks, were at an angle OF about
sixty degrees. One car turned over
and one remained upright. 1t was
in the car that turned over that the
injuries occurred.
Steel coaches and hard, frozen
ground, were responsible for the
minor number of injuries and the
fact that no lives were lost.

to appreciate without having our at.
tention called especially to them.
But we must remember. The mail
order houses have the merchants in
the small towns by the throat. They
are waging a fierce battle for the su-
premacy. II the mail order houses
win out 1t will mean the elimination
of practically all of the country deal
ers and small town merchants.
And when this happens you will find
conditions much different. You will
then, when it is too late. discover the
great value to you and the inestimable
convenience of having merchant near
by who can supply your wants without
delay.
But the mail order house sweeps
on and on. 1t is grabbing up the dol
lars with increasing voracity. 1t Is
grinding the country merchant down
and down until he can hardly make
vigorous struggle for existence.
l believe that these conditions can
be helped, even II not wholly removed
and done away with.
believe that there is remedy for
these conditions-a remedy that can
be applied in every community, with
success.
1t would mean a fight-a struggle
that would cost some time and some
work, but it would bring back the
dollars to the country store.
That it would be success l am
confident. That it would win the bat
tie for the country merchants, against
the mail order houses, l feel sure,
The fact is, right now, that the
big city is growing bigger and bigger
year by year, while the small town
is growing less prosperous.
It's the work of the mail order con-
Germs. They are milking the dollars
away from home all the time
Stop it-that's the only way. Keep
your money at home.
That's the only remedy.
Think it over
