What To Eat

There is a proverb to the effect
that what is one mans meat is
another mans poison.
One must bear this in mind in
deciding what to eat. There is no
greater mistake than that of blindly
following the diet of others.
The Chinaman thrives on rice.
The white man cannot live on it
exclusively. There is a marked
difference even among people of
the same race.
Because our neighbor thrives on
vegetables and bread is no reason
why we should adopt the same
diet. There is no general rule for
eating.
Every person must find out what
food suits them best. Keep to those
foods and avoid those which dis
agree with you.
Rich highly seasoned foods are
of course bad for everyone. There
are certain kinds of plain articles
of food which some people cannot
eat. And whole lot depends up
on the cooking,
Bacon and eggs and toast are on
the breakfast menu in many homes.
But if the eggs are badly fried, the
bacon swimming in grease and
toast hot and soaked in butter, the
meal is going to be mighty hard
one to digest. 1t make one feel
miserable for the rest of the day.
Most people eat too much. A
whole lot also depends upon the
way the food is chewed. If the
food is not chewed sufficiently it
is swallowed in too solid a form to
be acted upon by the gastric juices
of the stomach. Indigestion fol-
lows.

Need Not Concern Us

How far may we live from God,
and yet escape hell? Why should
this question concern us? There
is nothing good in sin. There is
nothing in it that will benefit man.
There is nothing in it in any degree
tbat-will not positively do him in

makes it sin; it is out of harmony
with his true life, and every in.
dulgence is to his owu hurt, even
though he should escape an eternal
hell. Our one ambition should be
to live as close to God as we can,
even if there we're no hell to es.
cape. 1t is only thus that we can
ever come to our highest good.

the streak will become larger and

concentrator to make proper sep
aration. The ores in this noun
tain usually carry high silver
values with a small percent in
gold, SO it is safe to predict that
another mine will be added to the
list of shippers during the year.

health for more than year the an
nouncement Of the death Of Mr.. Man.
chester comes as severe shock to
his many friends in this city and
throughout the state Several months
ago Mr.. Manchester became aware
that his condition was critical and
he went East in the hope that a
change of climate, rest from his
many business cares and treatment by
a specialist would be of benefit to his
health, but after being away for some
time he realized that his condition
was hopeless and he was brought
back to this city to spend the last
few months of his life.
Mr.. Manchester was born in South
Westport, Mass, on January l, 1859,
and was therefore 5S years of age. He
came to Maysville about twenty years
ago and started in the poultry busi-
ness, being a member Of the firm Of
Brightman & Manchester. In August,
1902, he assumed the management Of
the Maysville branch of the Keystone
Commercial Company, Of Pittsburg,
Pa, which bought out the business Of
tha Henderson, Johnson Company In
this city. AS manager of the Mays
vile branch he had charge Of the en-
tire business of the company for the
state and large share of the pheno-
menal success of the the company's
business in this section was due to
his efforts, sagacity and general busi-
ness ability About six years ago a
stock company was formed by Mr..
Manchester, which purchased the in

Company in this city and since that
time the firm has been operating un-

Produce Company, Mr.. Manchester
being the president Of the concern. He
was also vice president of the Inde-
pendent-Central Warehouse Company,
a. well as being interested in various
other Maysville enterprises. His in
fiuence and business ability will be
raissed in the financial interests of the
city. his advice about business mat
ters being always most acceptable.
As a husband and father he was
loved and revered, as friend his
memory will ever be held sacred and
as q good citizen he will long be re-
membered. His close touch with the
farmers and business men Of this Sec
ton made his acquaintance so wide
that he had friends without number

letter on peace is not the first instance.
1t may be possible to analyze the
letter and make it, mean the same
thing as President Wilson's declara-
tion Of our policy: but at this time,
when a Hobenzollern is regnant, it is
a distinct help to a premature, tenn
porary and inconclusive peace.
''No greater danger in this war
confronts US and our allies than such
a peace. This is the hope of the
military dynasties of the Central
Powers. This is the poison which
has destroyed Russian strength and
betrayed her to the manipulation of
German propagandists. The pacifists,
socialists and traitorous elements of
the English public seize upon Lans-
downe's letter as new encouragement.
"As we do not realize the strain
upon English patriotism, sacrifice,
courage and tenacity to continue this
War, we cannot measure the injury
by this letter of an old sick statesman
of reactionaTy traditions out of SYM

eminent and hopeless in his forecast
of the domestic and world future.
Coming from an English social quarter
supposed to be stanch for fight to
finish, its effect is bad. German
parliamentary leaders delight in the
letter to show their restless people
that the English are divided and that
demand for immediate peace is grow
ing among them.
"Whatever the letter may mean,
therefore. American public opinion in
its expression and comment should be
clear that we can have no peace to

RED AND WHITE HAS
MANY TODRAW ON
ASPlRANTS FOR TEAM PRACTICE
DAILY; GRADES ARE TAX
ING UP WORK.

Two score of huskies have thus far
enrolled under Red and White colors
this year and Coach Ralph E, West OF
0ttumwa High school has hopes of
turning out real battling array Of
gridiron men. He is being ably sec
onded by Glenn Grant, principal OF the
Emergency high school as assistant
coach. Together they are giving the
lads workout nightly and the. boys
are working zealously for a place on
the team.
Preliminary Practice.
The Adams school yardis the scene
OF the daily workout and the coach is
being given strict attention in his d.
rections by the lads Thus far signal
practice has not been INDUCED In but
within short time the coach expects
to drill the squad in this work. New
suits have been ordered for the team
but the lack of fine raiment is not pei
mitted 70 stop the lads from practice
CARRIED mostly in the sweaters worn
BY former team members. but with an
odd coIored one here and there, the
boys may be seen, running around the
Adams school yard nearly every eve
ming after school.
Football In Grades Now.
Principal Rice is believer in thor
oughness and has had the idea that IL
the boys are trained when real young.
they will be better able to make good
on the team when they reach high
school. With this in view he intro
duced football in the grades few
years ago and last year the boys OF the
Adams school were given suits. This
year the Douglas boys are to get suits
an dthe younger lads will be developed
in the art Of the game before they en-
ter high school.
Tried In Basket Ball.
II has proved wise plan as regards
basket ball for many OF the youngsters
while in the grades are found playing
basket ball at the Y. M. c. A.. and as
a result when they enter high school
there is always an abundance OF mate
rial with which to make a good school
team. The idea will be worked out in
football and thus it.is expected to de-
yelop a source from which good grid
iron material will always be available
for the O. H. s.
The boys in the grades will have
high school men as coaches. f. J.
Schwartz. history teacher at the high
school. will have charge of the younger
lads this year,
