An exchange gives the following
very appropriate advice:
On going to bed, change the
clothes, and if those taken off are to
be worn the next day, turn them
so that they may air and dry thor
oughly.-1n eating, especially in
warm weather, ego Slow" Do not
come in, hot from work, and at once
sit down to the table, but wait to
cool of, and at meals eat slowly.
Many look upon the time spent at
meals as wasted, while it is of great
Importance. Eat slowly, and chew
well. IT you can prolong the time at
meal by pleasant conversation, do
SO. Do not be in hurry to resume
work after meals in hot weather.
Take long nooning. Better Spir-
its, and increased vigor and strength
will far more than make up the time
to rest.
A general fault Of our sleeping
rooms is lack of ventilation. One
reason for this is the attempt to keep
out flies and mosquitoes by closing
the rooms during the day. Frames
upon which wire-cloth, or the cheap
er mosquito netting is stretched,
will keep out insects and allow of
needed dsventilation.
Farmers who work all day, are
not often troubled with sleeplessness
insomnia, as 1t Is called; yet it is in
some cases disease, and the more
fatigued one may be, the less he is
inclined to sleep. A brisk walk
before bedtime, and a sponging and
rubbing of the whole body, with a
wet towel around the bead, will
often break, up the very unpleasant
habit.
Farmers are very apt to neglect
their teeth. Every one should have
a tooth brush, not too hard, and
brush the teeth, using water freely,
on going to bed and again on rising.

A MINISTER'S ESCAPE.

From the Asylum to the Bosom of His Home
How it was Done.
A prominent minister residing at

ing prominently before the public,
but sense of the duty I owe hu-
manity and the world prompts me to
ask the opportunity for making a
brief statement in your paper.
Whether it be tru with others I
cannot say, but during my eEtire life
I have frequently been conscious
that something was slowly and silent
ly working to undermine my health
and life. What it was I could not
tell, but that some enemy of my be-
ing was devouring me within I was
certain. At times would seem
comparatively well and then I would
be attacked with the most distressing
symptoms. 1 would feel peculiar
pains in various parts of my body,
my head would seem heavy; my res
piration labored; my appetite would
be rsvenous one day and ! would
loathe food the day following. Then
again would lose all interest in life;
would feel weary without exertion;
would become sleepy at mid-day
and restless at night. Occasionally
my breathing would be labored and
nv heart almost motionless, while at
other times it would palpitate vio-
lently. I thought these troubles
were the result of malaria, and ! treat
ed them accordingly. but l got no
better. Shortly afterward my stom-
ach became deranged. my food failed
to digest, and the fluids I passed were
of peculiar odor and color. And
vet did not realize that these things
meant anything serious. Finally I
consulted number ofeminent ply

Mexico and her Possibilities on the Way OF
Commerce.

Commerce.
Says the San Francisco Journal OF
Commerce.: Our near neighbor is be-
ing subjected to the scrutiny and
close attention of the business men
of all nations in consequence of her
recent railroad development, and
books describing hes resources and
people are multiplying. One pub
lished by Thompson & Morena, New
York, and written hy Lorenzo Cas-
tro, IS both timely and important.
From 1887 20 1s21-during the
period of Spanish rule-the mines OF
Mexico produced an estimated
amount of s2,ose, ,2ee,7Os of silver,
and $6s, ,76s,411 in gold-the latter
forming comparatively small per
centage ofthe whole, in fact little
more than California has produced
in single year. From 1921 to 1880
the estimated amount of silver pro-
duced was s9oo,e5s;soe, and gold
$40, 9,413.7s6, in all nearly thousand
million dollars. The grand total is
s3,1o3,l ,l1o,21e, but computation
based on the output of the Mexican
Mint-probably more reliable, gives
1928, 3,1se,o7o. If we add to this
the product of the Pacific Coast of
the United States up to 1882, which
was about s2,2e7, ,246,lse, we have a
total of nearly seven thousand mill
lion of dollars produced on what was
formerly Mexican territory. The
world has witnessed nothing like
this.
The state of chihuahua is consid-
cred one of the richest in minerals in
the republic. 1t is divided into 20
cantons. where l2o mining districts
exist. In these districts SIS mines
have been worked since the Spanish
conquest. 1t is noteworthy that
mines yielding only l6 ounces of sill
yer to 800 pounds of ore have been
abandoned 6ecarse of their isolation
and want of laborers. The character
of this, the richest, Mexican mineral
district may, perhaps, be more fully
summarized by classifying the miner
al districts as follows: Gold, IA; silver
54l, copper, 4; lead, 4; mercury, i;
salt, 8, and coal 2.
The population of Mexico, consid-
ering that immigration is almost
nothing, is increasing with great
rapidity. 1t was 100000 in 1908,
100000 in 1856, and is now 12 ,ooo,-
900. 1t has doubled since the be-
ginning of the present century, and
increased more than SO per cent. in
26 years. With peace and industry
ruling it will not be long reaching
twenty millions. Its mines are still
thought to be the richest in the
world, and it is next door to us.
Importations from San Francisco
of very small value per head would
makea very large total. Reciprocity
with Mexico is desirable and shall be
obtained.

WAR.

One murder makes a villain;
Millions hero! Princes are privileged
To kill, and numbers sanctify the crime.
All! why will kings forget that they are menf
And men that they are brethern? Why delight
In human sacrifice? Why burst the ties
OF nature that should knit they souls together
In one soft bond of amity and love?
They yet still breathe destruction, still go on,
Inhumanly ingenious to find out
New pains for life; new terrors for the grave
Artificers of DEATH! Still monarchs dream
Of universal empire growing up
From universal ruin. Blast the design,
Great God of hostsi Nor let thy creatures fall,
Unpitied victims at Ambitions shrine.
