FOUND HE COULD Do BETTER
Story Of Man Who Turned From His
Wickedness Ended In Somewhat
Unexpected Manner.

The late John Philip Quinn. the re-
formed gambler, who for 20 years trav-
eled all over America exposing the cleo
trio roulette wheel and other cheating
devices had reform story that he
would tell while exhibiting his queer
paraphernalia in his private car.
"Don't be afraid of REFORM" he said.
Help every poor devil who wants to
reform. The way most people act,
you'd think they all believed religious
ly in the reform story.

asked you to?' was the question put

she asked you tor

ciety for the same reasOnY
"'Yep, yep, yep

her.

like that, l found I could do better"

BACON AND SAUSAGE

Thin people are apt to lose weight
in summer because tl-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-
larly 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 a too marked increase
in the starchy foods. such as potatoes,
corn, rice, brea., etc. The 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.
Workers. and most people are work.
ers in the warm months as we'll as in
the cold, need energy producing foods.
During the summer they should choose
food that provides energy in concen-
trated, easily digested form. and rely
on salads and fruit for bulk as well as
for the useful salts they contain.
Among the concentrated foods partic-
ularly adaptible to summer needs are
tacon and dry, or summer sausage.
Bacon is not only high in proteid, but

HER mILklNe-PAIL

When Doris took her milking-pail
To cross the dewy meadow;
The eastern sky was golden pale,
The valley lay in shadow;
I followed slowly, not too near.
And softly, lest the maid should hear.
The wet, white daisies bent to touch
Her slender foot, and kiss 1t;
I enyied them this pleasure much,
Since I'd been doomed to miss It;
And thought the flowers were treated
far
More kindly than some lovers are!
Behind thorn stood to watch
Her coax the COW, and chide her;
And humming at a merry catch.
Set the small stool beside her;
While freshly, as she could have
wished,
The milk through dimpled fingers
swished.
Thought /, "This chance 1 must not
miss!
Her milk-pail home I'll carry;
And in return, demand kiss,
For milkmaids are not chary;
The poets sing: If SWANS be brave,
Hence, my reward I'll boldly crave.
But when at length I would have slept
Toward the maid with fervor,
Young Stephen DER the hedge had
leapt
With like intent to serve her:
And lest his chance might later fail,
Took, first, a kiss, and then, the pail!
Unseen, sought shaded path.
And left the lovers cooling;
But now my verse moral hath:
Whatever's worth the doing
You'll find-each day the story tells
Is being done by some one else!

Fargo.-Rapid increase in drainage
projects in South Dakota, Minnesota
and North Dakota, all dumping water
from vast areas into the crooked and
uncared-for channel of the Red river,
Is creating flood menace of constant
ly growing seriousness, according to
the viewpoint of the Fargo Commercial
club and other civic bodies, as pre-
scented to H. S. McCrory, chief of the
drainage division of the United States
department of engineering.
Mr.. McCrory was impressed with the
statements to the extent that he spent
the day making a tour of inspection
of the Davenport district, the center
of spring foods in the past.
Drains Cause Floods.
That he will recommend to the de.
partment the dispatch of competent
engineer to make a study of the stu
alton, is the impression the visitor
left with local interests, although he
did not commit himself.
There have been floods along the
Red river this season, all caused, local
investigators declare, by the fact that
tremendous drains south Of this dis
trict are dumping vast quantities of
water into the stream more rapidly
than was the case prior to the estab-
lishlaent of the drains.
