not be arcrpted. In the eyes of her Eskimo lover for A girl to accept
an offer of marriage would be to ghaino herself beyond redemption. It

flfl Eating
and Drinking
to Promote Health
By Additoa Hkkos. Springfield, m.
The writer has for many
years past made a study of
eating and drinking to pro
mote health. My experi
menting has lcen carried on
solely for my own benefit
and not with a view to pub
lication. 1 am assuming that practically everyone realizes the value of
exercise, rest and fresh air, so that the lack of these is not the cause
when we have ailments. Therefore there must be sony other cause, as
the rule of nature is health and any deviation from it is an indication (hat
we have lived unwisely in some way and I believe that in nine cases out
of ten it is the diet thst is at fault.
Tor about fifteen years I have not taken medicines of any kind
except in the form of food and water and at the same time 1 haw indulged
to a limited extent in drinking and smoking for the sociability and
pleasure of it.
During all this time I have not had a severe cold and when I have
had any at all I have believed it di.e either to overeating or improper
elimination of waste or both. In my opinion the cause has been over
eating. I have gone without a meal, clmnk considerable water and eaten
an orange and the cold has gone away. Yet as all ailments run their
course 1 am not so sure whether the cold would have disappeared without
the treatment. If I have thought the told due to incllic;cnt elimination I
have eaten fruits with seeds in them, such a raisins and figs, and green
vegetables raw, without any spices -a.' any kind, such as lettuce and cucum
bers, and also drunk considerable water.
Recently I was annoyed by a sore nose and reasoned that this was due
to impure blood. I am of the belief that onions are of great value as
blood purifiers on account of the sulphur they contain. I do not believe
that sulphur in its mineral form is of much value, as the human f-ystem
cannot readily assimilate anything outside of vegetable or animal food.
JSo I ate about six raw onions in two days and my trouble disappeared.

I Forest Service
Does Good Work
Although the United States forest
service seems to have been unsuc
cessful in getting large numbers of
trees to grow successfully in the
;OO,000 acre tract -which was reserv
ed as a fores reserve In the Rand
hill country east of Alliance, and
which will be thrown open to home
Mead entry this fall, It is more suc
cessful in other places.
An agricultural colony In Palestine
's Just applied to the forest ser
vice for help In planting trees to
bind the drifting sands of the Med
iterranean. The colony is near Jaf
fa, or Yafa, the ancient Joppa of
the Bible, and there Is being devel
oped In connection with it a sea
side resort, with hotel, villas, bath
houses, and gardens.
The experts of the service point
out thait the reclamation of sand
dunes is not a serious problem in
'.he eastern United States because
the prevailing winds are from the
land and the sand Is blown into the
sea. On the vest coast the situa
tion Is more serious. The most not
nblr example of reclaimed sand ar
eas there Js furnished by Golden
(late Park, San Francisco, where
grasses, acacias, and, later, trees
and shrubs have converted sand
wastes into plcnsure grounds of
?re:.t beauty.
The attention of the Palestine
colony Is called to the wonderful re
clamation of the Landes, France,
where a wealth-producing forest of
maritime pine, the source of the
French turpentine, has been grown
to take the place of shifting dunes.
The American foresters also give
;he address c.f the French seedsman
who furnished this government with
the maritime pine seed which has
been used in planting experiments
on the Florida national forest, near

ffl Many Troubles Man
Lauses Lowly lailor
By J. B. GEHRING. New Yk
Men tailors have trouble
with shoulders, waistbands
and legs, but legs are the
worst. There isn't one man
in ten w ho can make an affi
davit that he is neither
knock-kneed nor bow-longed.
Perfectly straight legs are rare. It's un art to shape fabrics over bow-legs
6o thiit they will not nhow, and no joke to hide the bends of knock-knees.
I When a man begins to take on weight it shows first at the belt line,
thi n on the ?houKlcn and upper arms. Later it gets down to the legs.
In the meantime the tailor has his troubles in keeping his customer from
looking top-heavy. The tailor is supposed to take an imperfect anatomy
and shape garments over it with such nicety as to produce a fcupcrb figure.
It's a trying job.
Legs that are over-long are a source of some complaint. The waist-
oat has to be dropped an inch or to in cases like this. There arc knee's
which are fifly per cent, larger than they ought to be-pgreat knuckles of
lone that are hard to hide. Then there's the thigh, three times larger at
il e u) per end than at I he other. Men created on this model ought to be
permitted to wear full-catcd knickerbockers.
