May 31 —W Ear’ Flynn, who is lecturing in churches i on the subject of heal’*, says in his ■ 'alks that if the schools tanght more of good food values and the care c-: i the body and not sc much of the sciences that do net enter into the every day life, the people would be greatly henefitted. Man must iea-n ! by study what the animals know by -stinct about whs- is the best food to eat under certain conditions, he says I Tn the lectures he tells of the medical < value of some of the eommri fr and vegetables. Nothing is better, he says, for col’s I fevers, rheumatism, throat trouble, j t imples. livertronble. and a tired fe« l-| : :ng. than the juice of two <r three >t”- J Jons taken wftbotrt any snear daily Begar should he used as little as - sip-le. Pineapple ju’ra with no s nar :s the best remedy for indigestb-r while for a nervous onion*, cocked cr raw. are good. The i kidneys have a great friend in spina h i and asparagus An effective remedy ! ’or indigestion, nerrens dyspeps’a and -hermerism is to chew the gr“ ” j leaves ,-.f celery and also the r&ots : when boiled to a pulp. In summer, when the blood is hot. and you are troubled with iaaMnnfa, ■hew the green leaves of lettnee Beets and cranberries are rood for th’ I blood when eaten raw. Instead of taking calomel for the liver, eat a skinned tomato This will cure sick headache. Apples are good tor disordered Berres j sad gratres are good for malar?? | though the seeds and skin should t* discarded. Fresh, ripe peaches bar? a medicinal effect on the kidneys • Orange juice plays an important par- ! with the kidneys and liver. Blackberries will cure a case of dysentery in a few hours, while strawbe--ries aggravate a case cf rbeumat’s—or indizestion. Figs, dates, pr-rnrs j and raisins should be eaten for ro--j st-paticn. and also where candy or sugar have caused acidity or nervonsness. A fruit fast, that is, lirinz rn ! fruit alone for cn? day out of every week, will be of great value, dtirias the s-mmer. h--- says. IS NOW READY.

Uhl. tendered his resignation in order to accept a call from the First Lutheran church of Nokomis, 111. The Rev. Mr. Uhl came to Mansfield from Pennsylvaaaia about six years ago. “He is the first and only pastor of St. Mark’s Lutheran church located < on Spring Mill street of this city. On] the eleventh of November, after a I residence of about three months the church was organized with a membe’--ship of thirty-eight Under his able leadership within a period of little more than five years the membership i has increased to about two hundred, i A like number of scholars are also ; enrolled in the Sunday school. Soon ' after his c-?ming a lot was purchased at a cost of $2,300, on which the beau-char-el was erected, costing $lO. reO, which was dedicated cn May 23, 1909. Few churches within so brief a period have had so large a growth. , "or this the credit is largely due ’o the effort* of Rev. Uhl. It is understood that his resignation is to take effect the latter part of June, when h“ will turn his face to the west to which two of Mansfield’s Lutheran pastors have preceded him.
