BACON AND SAUSAGE

Thin people are apt to lose weight
in summer because IL ey eat unwisely.
while those already too stout are prone
to increase for the same reason. es-
pecially if they take no exercise. A
body under weight should be particu-
larry careful not to decrease the foods
easily converted into fat and energy.
The usual custom of reducing meat
in the hot weather dietary is wise I'M
less this means Il too marked increase
in the starchy foods, such as potatoes,
corn, rice, brea., etc. Tho carbohy-
drates are more difficult Of digestion
and assimilation than the proteid Of
meat which is quickly turned into en-
ergy, and an excess of them in warm
weather will often disturb the diges-
tive system, or cause an undue flesh
accumulation.

FORTUNATE CITY IS BOISE
Natural Supply Of Hot Water Used to
Furnish Heat for Houses and
Public Buildings.

Boise, the capital of Idaho, Is the
only city in the world to use natural
hot water to supply heat to houses.
public buildings and business blocks,
the Youths Companion observes. Wa
ter at temperature of III degrees
Fahrenheit comes from wells In the
low foothills of the Boise mountains
just outside of the city. and for %
years 1t has all been used for heating
purposes.
There are two wells. each 10 inches
in diameter and 400 feet deep. The
natural flow is 100000 gallons a day.
Centrifugal pumps have increased the
supply to 100000 gallons every day.
The water is pumped into tank or
reservoir thence distributed to the
users in the city. One hundred ana
thirty-nine buildings use it for all pur.
poses including heat, and 100 other
buildings use it for bathing, washing
and cooking purposes.
Engineers have tried to increase the
flow of water, and they think that II
they could tap the main subterranean
stream they would get enough hot wa
ter to supply all the needs Of the city.
The heat is so intense that men can
work only IS feet below the surface.
and then only in ten-minute shifts.
These hot springs were we'll known
by the Indians and they made the spot
where Boise now stands sort of win
ter resort for the Snake and Bannock
tribes.

First Potato Kino.

John Pounds, an English cobbler:
was the original potato king. He cob.
bled shoes for sailors in Portsmouth
and was grieved by the sight of the
ragged boys who ran wild about the
quays. He set himself the task of
rescuing them. Finally, he hit upon
the right scheme.
A hot potato was wonderful deli
cacy for these youngsters. John
Pounds set his bait. He offered hot po-
tatoes to boys who would come to him
and be taught to read and write. Often
he was seen pursuing a boy along the
wharves. holding out a potato like
farmer trying to catch colt with a
feeding Of oats. Usually John Pounds
and the hot potatoes won. He crowd
ed his narrow wOrllroom with his
charges. When he died it was report
ed of him that he saved five hundred
children to useful citizenship.-Toledo

WHISKY IN FENCE POSTS
Georgia Moonshiners Find New and
Novel Way Of coneeaIing "6Ioek-
ade Corn"

The versatility of the dispenser Of
moonshine whisky in Atlanta, Ca, is
shown by recent exposure when Is
pints Of BLOCKADE corn" were dis
covered in hollow fence posts in the
rear Of a barber shop. The posts were
standing about IL feet above the
ground. They were so big and square
that they aroused the suspicion Of
the detectives. One Of them tapped
a post with his leather billy. 1t gave
forth hollow sound and the investi-
cations we're pushed further.
Ten holes, each large enough to hide
and each hiding two pint bottles Of
liquor, were found in the posts. The
originator of the ingenious storing
place had taken an auger and after
boring the holes large enough to hold
two pints, had covered the posts with
fence planks in regular high board
fence manner.

PLANT OF PECULIAR SHAPE
Strange Vegetable That Grows In Peru
Bears Close Resemblance to
Sheep.

A curious plant growing In Peru Is
known to the natives as "Yareta" or
vegetable Sheep" 1t grows Abundant
ly among rocks at high attitudes along
the Andes of Bolivia and Peru, where
it constitutes conspicuous feature In
the landscape because of its peculiar
manner of developing the so-called
"polster" or cushion formation.
The ''yareta" forms hillocks or small
mounds often three feet high and
sometimes several feet in diameter.
Moreover, the entire mound Is made up
of a single plant, not of colony of
individuals, and 1t attains this enor-
nous size and extreme compactness by
a process of repeated branching. so
that the ultimate branches are closely
crowded and the outer surface is con-
tinuous.
The flowers of the "yareta" are very
thin, only about one-eighth of an inch
long, and are borne in small clusters
near the tips q. the branches. The
fruit resembles a mini: ture caraway
seed. The natives use the plant as
fuel.-Popular Science Monthly.
