The mayor aid city council thought
yesterday u good day on which to try
out tile new pumping plant to see
whether everything was in good work
.ng order in view of the poss.ble en
try of the country into war. All the
city fathois being present an alarm \
was turned in from the box opposite
tlie Catholic church. The hose sled |
arrived in two and a half minutes ac- |
cording to the oilicial time and the
water wa3 runn.ng from the hydrant

was used and the pressure Was so j
great that it took three of the husky
litemen to hold it and they had thejr
1 lands full to prevent giving the by
staidns a perfectly good limitation
of some of the movlrg p eture 3 tints
which never fail to make the audience
laugh. The result of the tryout was
EAT MORE APPLES!!.
WHAT IT MEAN& TO EAT AN APPLE
! "Do you know what you are
eating?" sold the doctor to the
little girl.
"An upple of course."
•You are rating." said the
doctor, "albumen sugar, gum,
malic acid, gall.c acid, liber, wa
ter and phosphorus.”
"I hope those things are good,
they sound alarming?”
"Nothing could tie better. You
ate, I observed, rather loo much
meat foi d naer. The malic acid
oa apples neutralizes the excess
of choky matter caU3ed by eat
ing too much meat, and thereby
helps to keep you 3ound. Apples
are good lor your complexion.
ii.cn- acids drive out the noxi
ous matt' is which cause skin
eruptions. They are good for
your brain, which those same
noxious matters, If retained,
render sluggish. Moreover, the
acids of he apple diminish the
acidity of the stomach that
conies with some forms of in
d.gestiun.
Then, too, the phosphorus, of
which the apple contains u l.irg
er pi rentage than any other
fruit or vegelahe, renews *he.
essential nervous matter of the
Drain and the spinal column.
"Oh, the ancients were not
wrong when they esteemed the
apple the food of the Gods— the
magic renewer of youth! to
which the Gods have resorted
than they felt themselves old
and fertile.
“I think I'll have an apple,”
concluded the doctor.

pushing on to Pritz Welter's roud

was advised against making the jour

approach of darkness und the strain
