down. Seigler was badly burned about
the hands and arms. John DOnnelly, a

Health in Travel.

Arrange to start quietly after a plentiful
meal Take overshoes and waterproof in
your handbag. This is important. Avoid
railroad food by carrying chicken. beef. hard
boiled eggs, bread, fruit and salt Drink
little or none of the railroad ice water II
obliged to eat at stations, choose simple food
Eat slowly. Better less food than much
haste. Bread and fruit. OF chocolate, make
an excellent lunch. Attend to the daily
functions, else travel will derange them On
warm DAYS, ride backward bv an open win
dow, thus avoiding cinders and draughts
Engage sunny rooms up two flights in ad-
vance. Unsunned rooms are unsafe. If the
weather be only chilly, still have small fire.
Avoid nearness to water closets. Be sure of
dry bed linen and clean blankets. 1t is bet
ter to use your shawls than to be exposed to
dsmpness. Throw back the bed clothing two
hours before retiring. See that your gas
burner does not leak. Move bed steads way
from windows. Old hotels are draughty
Retire early. If wskeful. eat simple food
Start with warm feet. In winter provide
them with soapstone, fur shoes. or wrap
them in a shawl. Carry bottle CT paregoric
and cardamon mixture, half each, for diar-
rh9a. Wait twelve hours, then take one
teaspoonful in hot water every two hours till
better. Eat hot boiled milk, saited to taste,
and crackers, also cracked ice freely. The
safest place in car is the centre opposite the
side taken by passing trains. At night, il
fstigued, drink cup of tea, with bit OF
bread, and rest 80 minutes before dining. A
tired stomach cannot digest easily. Hence
the frequency of diarrh9a during travel
For ocean trips take abundance of outer
garments and flannel bedgowns. Walk the
deck for exercise, else first days ashore will
be tatiguing. But rest the first two DAYS at
sea. Final days ashore are exhausting. II
seasick. keep the deck: lie upon the back
near the centre of the ship; eat in spite of
nausea. If vomiting follows, eat again at
once. This is the only remedy. Drink hot
beet tea with plenty OF red pepper. Eat ship
crackers. raw beet. finely chopped, sslted and
(red) peppered and mixed with bread crumbs
If not seasick control II e appetite or prepare
for dyspepsia. -Congreodfionaitst
