A COW FELL ON HIM.

Mr. Pritchett, who lives across the road from the Monitor school, two miles west of town, was badly hurt by a cow falling on him Thursday.

A Webb City man had bought a fractious, muley cow in the neighborhood and was having trouble in getting her home. On coming to Mr. Pritchett’s house the man asked to leave the cow in his stable for a while until he could get help for handling her. As Mr. Pritchett approached to help get her in the stable the cow made a lunge at him and butted him down into a ditch, and getting tangled in the rope, fell on the prostrate man.

The cow was helpless in her position and had to be lifted off of Mr. Pritchett before he could move at all. Mr. Pritchett is seventy years old and ill able to bear such treatment. He is badly bruised and strained, and it will be some time before he will recover.

MGA AUCTION A SUCCESS. By Lee Ann Sours, artCentral The Midwest Gathering of Artists was held last weekend and congratulations are in order for artCentral’s award winners Bob Tommey, Bill Snow, and Andy Thomas. The auction was well attended. Danny Hensley and his crew worked hard (entertainingly) to get as many bids out of people as possible. At times, cheering broke forth from the crowd. In addition to the above mentioned award winners, Debbie Reed was in the top five high sellers. Bob Tommey made sure all the artists were well fed. A barbeque was held at his home. It’s always a pleasure to look around in his Chuck Wagon Gallery. Now showing at the artCentral gallery, Hyde House, is "Soul Food to Go" by Tom Edwards. This exhibit continues through September 27. Come by and get some food for your soul. Showing next will be an exhibit of watercolors and mixed media by Verneil Roper, owner of "BYTHEWAY" Gallery near Sarcoxie. Again, thanks to all the people whose work and support made MGA a big success for another year. And if you haven’t been to artCentral yet, we are located next to Fairview Greenhouse on East 13th Street.

Sponsored by Oak Street health & herb	Weekly Column Natural Nutrition by Mari An Willis Good Fats, Bad Fats ... simple.You must have the good ones and do without the bad one!!! Now, which are which? We will focus on the good ones ... this time, specifically the omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids and more specifically the ones contained in plants such as evening primrose oil, borage oil, black current seed oil and flax seed oil and cold water fish oils. I don’t mean catfish oil in the winter!!!! I mean halibut or salmon of the like. Tuna is not included. In a recent letter from Dr. Kruse, D.C., she states that some of the benefits of flax seed oil include: • contain the world’s highest percentage of essential Omega-3 fatty acids. • significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. • over 60 health conditions can benefit from essential fatty acid supplement. • essential fatty acids are important for normal growth, especially of the blood vessels and nerves and to keep the skin and other tissues youthful and supple. • low levels in the body have been seen in such conditions as prostate enlargement, psoriasis, anorexia nervosa, hyperactivity and obesity. Deficiency problems of EFA’s may include acne, diarrhea, dry skin, eczema, alopecia (hair loss), gallstones, slow growth and wound healing. A nice thing about flax seed oil is that it can be used in cold dressing mixes, on cottage cheese, coleslaw, etc. Never heat it. It is also available in handy softgel form. Keep refrigerated.
