Our bodies require a certain amount of mineral matter "or nourishing salts for health; Chalk, iron, phosphorus, natron, are all needed, and they are found In the best form to fresh vege tables and fruits. Lettuce Is one of the most important of. all, for it aids the cleansing of the blood and . refreshes the entire organism?" It should not be used with too much vinegar to Obtain the greatest benefit. Sorrel and spin ach are to be highly recommended for enriching the blood, especially la cases of anaemia. It should be noted that sorrel and spinach ought not to be cov ered while cooking, as otherwise the poisonous matter in the leaves cannot escape. vThe value of asparagus i ns blood purllier and agent acting on the kidneys Is well known. ; Beans should be eaten only when young, as when they are old they are dlfiicult o di gest. ..The Importance c mixing vege tables with the meat eaten Is not the least important part In the use of the latter. They aid the digestion even of the meat. Apples are very rich in iron, as are all of the fruits and vegetables that have any ; red coloring 'matter.

The allies, resum ing aggressive operations, have taken the district west of Pekin.' This state ment, based on Chinese authority, is cabled from Shanghai. From the same Elace comes the further ' statement that .1 Hung Chang has wired the empress dowager at Hsian Fu, requesting the ar rest of Prince Tuan and thedisarmament of the Boxers, in order to give him an opening for negotiations with the pow ers. The illuminations projected at Shanghai in celebration .of. the relief of Pekia have been abandoned, lest they should cause a native outbreak. ,'; 'Evidence has been received : here," says the Shanghai correspondent" of The Standard, "going to show' that Gen. Yung Lu was the real author of the anti foreign outbreak, the empress dowager, Prince Tuan and the others all having been persuaded by him to take an ex treme attitude, while be stood aside and awaited developments."

Shanghai advices to The Dfcily News says that consular opinion there looks upon Japanese action in the linding of troops at Amoy, despite the i ftjtests . of the consuls, as eifeiiiar to Bussai, at New Chwang, the whole indicating a tendency to partition of the empire. "' "Russian' journals agree,' says the Moscow correspondent of The Standard, "that it is impossible to deal witi China in the spirit of revenge, as suggested by Emperor William.

A t a meeting of the People's party national committee todav, the declination of Charles A. Towne as th vice presidential nominee of the party, after a long debate, was accepted, and the name of Adlai E; Stevenson was put in his place. In the beginninr'there were three courses advocated by ri, Jerent members of the committee, viz: To nom inate a Populist, to - leave the 'place Lblank, or, lastly, to endorse Mr. Steven son. Senator Marion JJutJer, chairman of the committee, in a warm speech of some length, advocated leaving the place blank, contending that Bryan and Stevenson would receive more Populist votes than if a candidate for vice presi dent was cot named but on this no vote was taken. A motion was made to endorse Mr. Stevenson. For this motion Mr. Wash burn, of Massachusetts, moved as a sub stitute that a Popolift be laced on the ticket. The substitute was lost on a call of the roll by a vote of 21 ayes to 71 nays. The original motion was then adopted l y a vira voce vote.

Democratic State Chairman Simmons today issuedthe following: ' v' :- .. " "To the Democratic voters of North Carolina: More than a year ago, in re ply to a letter written to me by the edi tor of the Asheville Citizen inquiring whether I would be a candidate, for United States senator to succeed Marion Butler, I stated I was a candidate and would be profoundly grateful to the vot ers of my party if they should see fit to elect" me to that exalted position. My reply to The Citizen was not only pub lished in that paper, but generally copied by the press throughout the State. This declaration together, with th general understanding that I was a candidate, I had supposed would preclude the neces sity of any further announcement of my candidacy,' but letters of inquiry upon this subject recently received would seem to make it proper for me to again maks the announcement of my candidacy be fore the primaries to be held Nov. 8. . "As eh airman of the Democratic execu tive committer my first duty will be to the party, and from now until the elec tion in November I shall devote my time almost exel i vely to the work of aiding the election of Bryan and Stevenson and the Democratic nominees for Congress. I shall therefore have little, time to de vote to the promotion of my own inter ests. After the campaign is thoroughly organized I may be able to make a few speeches, but they will be made for the party , and its nominees. Under these circumstances I commit my cause to my friends .and supporters in the different counties and precincts with entire confi dence that they will not permit it to suf fer from neglect, either in canvass or at th polls. II their efforts are in vain I shall be none the less . appreciative. . If they are rewarded with success I cannot better attest my gratitude than by bringing to the discharge of the duties that will devolve upon ms all the virtues of bead and heart that I may possess."
