Food Minimum.

The irreducible minimum for living
expenses seems to have been attained
by Roger Crab, the hermit, who lived
at Icckenham, near Uxbridge. About
1641 he began to restrict himself to q
vegetarian diet, avoiding even butter
and cheese. From roots he got diet
consisting chiefly of broth made from
turnip leaves and thickened with bran,
and he finally resorted to dock leaves
and grass, with a bran pudding as an
occasional delicacy. He drank moth.

Parrot That Talked Egyptian.

In regard to the birds OF the Ba-
hamas, lady of my acquaintance
reaped this valuable information from
the lips of one of the Intelligent hack
drivers Of Nassau. She had noticed
a bird looking something like black
parrot, and had asked the driver if it
actually was parrot. Oh, yes, it was
parrot, all right, he said. (By the
way, it wasn't. } Did it talk, the lady
asked. Oh, yes, it talked, but-and
this was the really interesting infor-
mation-it only talked Egyptian"
Egyptian" exclaimed the lady. Yes!
all the birds of the island talked Egyp-
tian. Could he understand them?
Well, just a little-butPN. in
short, he confessed that his own
Egyptian was rusty; but the birds
talked It all right for sure.-Richard

SOLVES A FOOT PROBLEM

Dancing is hard on the feet. After one
stepping and tangoing, your feet ache and
burn, they are tender and inflamed, and
good nights sleep is generally out OF the
question, no matter how tired you may be.
A society girl who is confirmed lover of
dancing has found a way to enjoy all the
dancing she wants without the attendant
foot troubles. Here Is her secret: She buys
package of Wa-Ne-Ta at the drug
for a quarter. When she gets home she
err in which have been dissolved two or three
tablets OF this wonderful preparation. Then
she goes to bed and sleeps like a healthy
baby. Wa-Ne-Ta takes all the soreness,
burning, sweaty unpleasantness from the
feet and leaves them cool and comfortable
Wa-Ne-Ta added to the bath water Is
cleansing and purifying, removing impurities
and banishing body odors. II your druggist
hasn't Wa-Ne-Ta, send us 10 cents to cover
packing and shipping charges and we will
send you a sample package to your address

Youth Held on Charge
Of Burning PostoffiCe

Burwell, Neb., Aug. lO.-(Special.)
Tuesday afternoon the Blake post
office, located about twenty miles
north of Burwell, was burned to the
ground and all mail and other con-
tents completely destroyed.
The postmistress was temporarily
away from the house to take dinner
to the haying hands i'll the field a
few miles away, who were hurrying
to get their haying done, and while
away someone broke into the house
and set fire to it from the inside.
Suspicion led to a young lad who
had recently been working in that
neighborhood and who held grudge
against the owner of the house.
Search was made for him and he was
caught and brought to Burwell and
has made full confession to County
Attorney Laverty, and is now in jail
awaiting the action of the court.
