We hear much nowadays about health and bygienic living, about vegeta- ranism and many other fads along the same line. Restaurants may be found in the larger cities where no meat. pasfry or coffee is served and the food crank is in his glory, and arguments and theorfes galore ad- vanced to prove that meat was never in- tended for human stomachs, and almost meake us belleve that our sturdy ancestors who lived four-scors years In robust health on roast beef, pork and mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health. Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was sxtended to any kind, from bacon to acorns.

As the Courthouse is situated a long distance from any house the chest could easily have been wrecked without artractirg any attention.
