The don'ts:
Don't eit indiscriminately.
Don't
et too much. Make your diet fit the
weather. There is alo wMorn in an
occasional fat.
Don't drink too much. Unless you
perspire freely you need no more '
water than is neces-ary to flush the
sytem Two quarts a day Is about '
right, ay the doctors. Taboo Ice,
water. Drink only distilled water if
you can get it.
Ce no intoxicants whatever.
Don't sit up until midnight to "cool
off." Loss of sleep will deplete the!
system especially in hot weather !
huh uiars recovery siovr. nieep IS
nature's best restorer.
Dou't worry. 'Serenity of mind is
necessary, if you would kep your
blool cool. Fretfiiluevs causes heat
Don't con-ult the thermometer. It
will cause you to think you are hotter
than you really are.
The doings:
Get busy. One who has nothing to
do thinks of his discomfort aud in
i r-as.-s it thereby. Keep your mind
ofl yourself as much a- jossibIe.
l'e temperate. Temperance I- good
at all times. In hot weather it is vi
tally necessary.
K-ep regular hours. Irregularity of
any sort is a species of intemperance.
It may amount to dissipation.
Take things; easy. You will do moie
and feel better.
Above all, keep your brain cool by
cutting out fuming t.ud fretting. Get
down off your high hoise. When you
find tljat your task worries you, drop
It n few minute if possible aud re
sume on a lower aud cooler level.
Keep your head cool; not by cold
baudages, but by philosophy.

A couple (d weeks ago there dropped
into Ked Cioud a tall, nice looking
young nan, who n-gigteiid at the
Hollnud house under the name of J.
F Midican, claiming to hail from the
state of Colorado. Ill story wan that
his father would be along in a few days
with three car loads of C dorado

upon the hussion of the slate board of

Mrs. Orenderf Mured.
M's. Jerry Orendorf, who dves eight
tui:c-s northwest of Bed Cloud, met
with a very painful accident in this
city la't Saturday afternoon. Mrs.
Orendort had been doing some trad
ing in B"rt Cloud, and as she was jet
ting into her buzgy, which was stand
ing near Miner Bros.' store, her foot
slipped between the spokes of the
wheel. The horses started forward and
Mre. Orendnrf'sjfool got caught in the
axle, wrenching her leg so badly that
it was broken in two places. She was
taken to the home of her sister, Mrs.
M. S Marsh, at the Boyal hotel. Dr.
Cook was called and attended to the
tally's injuries. Mrs. Orendorf is about
CO years of age, and it is probable her
injuries will confine her to her bed for
a long time. At this writing she wa
reported to be resting easily.
Cit the Weeds.
A stranger visiting our city at this
particular time would be shocked by
the appearance of our streets. The
grass and weeds along Webster street
in some places almost conceal the
building', and other streets are just as
bad. Along every block paper and
trash are allowed to collect and no at
tempt to clean up is apparent Our
stnet.s present a sorrowful sight. Has
the city no pride Have the property
owners no pride? One look at the rub
bud) Is usually suflicieut to show that
Bed Cloud is the least i lean of any
town along the valley. Tun Cimkk be
lieves that Bed Cloud needs an awnk
ening Clean uu. A very little atten
tion would make a different looking
city, aixl it would mean so much.
