DIET FOR NEPHRITIs.
Proper Food For Those Afflicted With
lnf1amed Kidneys.

Proper Food For Those Afflicted with
lnfiamed Kidneys.
In nephritis or inflammation Of the
kidneys diet is very important part
Of the treatment. The diet is planned
to reduce the tax on the kidney to the
lowest terms. Beverages and fluid foods
are limited, no salt is added to food,
certain vegetables which contain much
salt are avoided and meat is cut out
entirely.
DR.. Arthur f. Chace, professor of
medicine, and DR.. Anton r. Rose, as
sociate in pathological chemistry In the
New York Post Graduate Medical
School and hospital, give in the Jour-
nal of the American Medical associa-
ton study of diet for nephritic suf-
ferers.
The general plan of the dietary Is
as follows: "a warm cooked cereal, gen.
orally farina served with milk, is given
for breakfast This is sometimes re-
placed by oatmeal or a baked banana,
and toast and a citrus fruit are occa-
sionally added.
"The noon meal consists Of plain
soup made from milk, -four and butter,
given mainly to supply an agreeable
hot dish, though it is also utilized as
medium for introducing variety by
adding celery, asparagus or spinach;
a main dish consisting of baked pota-
to, now and then replaced by a baked
half ripe banana and steamed rice; a
liberal portion of green vegetable and a
lettuce salad with oil dressing, favored
with lemon or vinegar.
1.-THE evening meal is composed OF
such articles as ripe bananas, rice pud-
ding, cornstarch blancmange, steamed
rice with baked bananas aud stewed
fruit. Milk and cocoa in limited guam
titles are served as beverage"
From this general outline it is not
difficult to construct twenty different
menus that will contain great variety.

OUR LIBERTY BELL.
A Victim Of Old Age Disease and lie
Triple Meetings..

~ vlCti" OF Oio Age O1SoASO ana Sto
Triple Meetings.
Metals. just like people, are subject
to the wearing effects Of time. And
they also have diseases that destroy
their vitality. A combination Of both
is responsible for the great crack In
the famous Liberty bell, which recent.
~ has shown tendency to spread.
The bell was made in England by
one Thomas A. Lester and shipped to
Philadelphia in 1852. When tested
with hammer it cracked at the first
stroke. The metal was recast and 10
per cent Of copper added. This addi-
ton did not have good effects, seeming
to spoil the bells tone. So it was re-
melted second time and tin put in
with the copper to restore the sound.
Although details are somewhat hazy,
it is certain that facilities in the colo
MES for handling such a quantity OF
metal were not very good. The bell
weighs about 1900 pounds, and it is
estimated that twenty to twenty-five
of the largest crucibles In America
were required for the purpose.
At all events, the bell was finally cast
third time and accepted. But 1t did
not cool evenly and was Immediately
subject to shrinkage strain. These
strains had about the same effect as II
a piece Of cloth were gripped In a per-
sons two hands and torn down the
middle. This pressure ultimately
caused the big crack which is such a
familiar characteristic Of the bell and
which now promises to become even
larger.
Another point against the bell was
the triple MEETINGS. Metal loses some
thing of its vitality every time that 1t
goes through the crucible. Nothing that
undergoes the making over" process
is quite as good as before, and the
Liberty hell Lad been made and re-
made three times before it pealed forth
the message of freedom.-Los Angeles
Times.

We Label Everything as Pure.

The word pure is curious example
Of the striving Of people after perfec-
ton. We have pure olive oil. pure
candy and pure reading matter. Ey-
erything that we know is likely to be
adulterated we take pains to label
'pure." We never call pure the things
we know to be pure. but only those
things about which there is an element
Of doubt. Only In one particular do
we vary from this rule. II some kind
friend tells us the truth about our
selves we are very likely to refer to
that as pure nonsense. - Woman's

GOODNESS OF LOUIS B0THA.
His Nerve In Dealing With . Savage
Zulu Chieftain.

His Nerve In Dealing With . Savage
Zulu Chieftain.
A story of the cool daring OF General
Louis Botha, whose name is so ind-
mately associated with dramatic cpl
sodes In the history of South Africa,
appears In his biography written by
Harold Spender. 1t happened one win
ter when young Botha had taken sheep
for pasturage across the Drakensberg
mountains and down to the warmer
coast lands, which were still In the
grip Of the Zulus.
One tranquil day a young native
rushed into Botha's camp. he breath
lessly warned the young Boer to fly
and save his life. Mapelo was "out."
The most bloodthirsty Of all the ruff
fianly gangs that Were then ravaging
Zululand was the well. mounted and
well armed gang Of Mapelo. Only an
hour or two before, said the native, he
had cut the throat Of missionary at
the old mission station, about six miles
from Botha's camp. The native him
self had just left the body Of the I'M
happy man lying still and warm on his
own dining room table.
Botha had little time to make up his
mind, but one thing was clear-he
could not desert his sheep. Most OF
them belonged to his brothers So he
began to prepare to face the raider.
Looking at his bandoleer. he found to
his dismay that he had only one car
fridge left. Scarcely had he discovered
the fact when a troop Of Zulu horse
men appeared about a quarter Of a mile
away over rise Of ground In extended
order and charged toward the wagon,
waving their rifles over their heads
and shouting like demons possessed.
Louis Botha. rose and very deliber-
ately mounted the box seat OF his wag-
on. He laid his rife In a conspicuous
place. next him. Then he proceeded,
with an outward calm very foreign to
his own inner feelings, to light match
and apply it slowly to his pipe.
Throwing away the match and look
ing up. he found that the native horse
men had drawn rein i'm a cloud Of dust
within few yards Of the front OF the
wagon.
A few seconds Of dead silence follow
ed, the natives glancing at Botha and
Botha eying them with a steady gaze
Of surprise. Then Mapelo advanced
and said that his men were very hum
cry and wanted something to eat.
Botha gravely demurred at this stormy
way Of approach and coolly bargained
with the invader Of his peace. At last
he agreed to give them one sheep on
the strict condition that they should
withdraw some distance from his
camp and not disturb him again. The
condition was accepted, and so ended
an incident that Botha has always de-
scribed as one OF the most disturbing
in his whole life.

One Innino, Six Hits. No Runs.


Can six hits be made in half In.
ming without the. side making the hits
scoring a run?
This question was put to the Chicago
News, whose expert says Yes" and
explains:
The first man up triples and is
thrown out at the plate. The second
man triples and is also nailed at the
home pan. The third, fourth and fifth
batsmen single. filling the sacks. The
sixth man drives the ball between Sec
ond and third, and the leather hits the
runner coming from second. The man
hit is out. retiring the side. and the
man who hit him gets base rap.
This makes six consecutive safe raps
without one run being scored.
