0VER-I INDULGENCE.
To Eat Too Much Is as Bad as Eating
Too Little.

In southern California several ages ago
the oil escaping from small spring
formed in depression of the earth a
little pool. The lighter portions of the
oil evaporated leaving the sticky asphalt.
From time to time the rains covered the
surface of the pool with water, animals
and birds came down TO drink, sank into
the asphalt and We're imprisoned in this
gigantic animal trap. The hungry wolves
saw there before their eyes fresh animal
food of every sort, from the enormous
mastodon to the smallest bird. They
too were drawn into the trap, as were
also the large saber-toothed tigers which
then roamed that vicinity. To-day sci
entists are engaged in excavating the
bones deposited there by indiscreet appe-
tite.
The aim of civilization is to create in
hibition, the quality which holds back
and directs to useful purposes the nat
ural appetites. preventing them from
leading man into the pitfalls which beset
over.indulgence. Hunger is the great
stimulus action. but when it is satisfied
to safety, sodden inactivity follows. II
the natural appetite is allowed to dom
mate. it leads TO over-indulgence and
the unwary victim suddenly finds him
self in a trap from which he cannot
escape.
One of the great elements in maintain
ing health is the regulation of the bodily
intake to meet the appetite. The man
who works with his hands requires more
food than the brain worker. The man
who labors in the open air needs more
nourishment than he who sits cooped in
an Office all day long. Give the seden-
tary worker the appetite of the day la
borer and if that appetite be uncon-
trolled the body will become clogged with
the poisonous products of its own man
ufacture and physical deterioration will
surely follow. 1t is just as bad to eat
too much as it is to eat too little. To
indulge the appetite to too great an ex-
tent is equally as pernicious as its con-
slant repression. The best is to be found
in an average course. neither over nor
observation-disclosures, neither the following
of the inelastic dietary nor the promis-
cuous and ill-consdered use OF foods.
Many so-called case Of dyspepsia Is
nothing in the world but the rebellion of
an over worked stomach, the remon-
STRANGE OF body which has been stuffed
to repletion A great deal has been ac-
complished in the reduction of infant
mortality because we are able to control
what infants may eat Adults must for
themselves exercise this rs self-control.
II this Is done there will be a decline in
our adult mortality rates and an in
crease in health and efficiency.

pictures has been sent to the Sportsmen's
Magazine.
The pckerel had about half of the
bass in its mouth when the size proved
too great for the capacity of the pick
erel's mouth which is stretched to an
almost unbelievable size.
The pickerors condition shows that Il

LOOKSCOOD
TO OILERS
Showing al Cement and Other Indications
Lead 10 Belief that New Pool
Will Be Found

Although the quantity of oil in the
test well near Cement, but few
miles from the west line of Grady
county, remains undetermined, the
showing there has already attracted
attention Of oil men to this county and
the scramble for leases is said to be
lively.
"The fact that the oil sand in the Ce-
ment well was struck at 6S5 feet and
is near the west line Of Grady county"
said a man who has given much atten-
ton to this section as a possible oil
field, "and the fact that the r. M.
Conway gas well recently brought in
near Duncan is near the southwest
corner of the county and that the Dun
can gas field is near the southern line
while the big gas well at Fox is very
close to the southeast corner of the
county would lead to the belief that
the main pool of oil may be found
near the center of Grady county"
One of the most important tests now
drilling in this section is that of the
Unity Oil Co., of Kansas City near
Alex This test is being watched with
interest by oil men all over the state
The well is now 625 feet deep. Drill
ing has been long delayed by failure
to get an under-reamer but it is stat
ed the latter win be shipped from Tul-
sa tomorrow and it is expected that
drilling viii be resumed at once. The
company already has 1000 feet of 10
inch casing on the ground.
