Among the relics at the National
Museum is letter dated Washington,
Janury 20, 1929, and bearing j. q.
Adams signature. II Is addressed to
John Talisford. Adams tells him that
he can not, consistently with the duties
as President of the United States, inter-
fere and pardon a young mail-carrier
who has committed some fraud. He
holds that although young he was old
enough TO know better. and that 10 par
don him would be simply to give license
to such crimes by youths throughout
the country. Adams adds. however,
that not 10 appear too harsh, he will
leave IL to his successor 10 decide
whether the crime ought TO be pardoned
on the plea Of the youth Of the mail
carrier. r. Washington Post

Rules for Right Living.

/. Keep the Dody clean. The count
less pores OF the skin are so many little
drain-tiles for the refuse of the system,
II they become cloggcd and SO deadcned
in their action, we must expect to become
tie prey Of i'll health in some one of its
countless forms. Let us not be afraid of
a wet sponge and five minutes brisk ex-
e1clsc with a crash towel every night or
morning.
2. Devote eight hours of the twenty
four to sleep. If a mother is robbed of
Sleep by a wakeful baby, she must take a
nap some time during the day. Even ten
minutes Of repose strengthens and re-
freshes, and does good like a medicine"
Children should be allowed to sleep until
they wake of their own free will.
8. Never 90 out to work in early
morning in any locality sab cct to damps,
fogs and miasms, with an empty stomach.
If there IS not time Is wait for a cup Of
coffee, pour two-thirl' Of boiling water
on two t~easnoonfuls Of cream, or a beaten
egg, season it with salt and pepper, and
drink while hot before going out. This
will stimulate and comfort the stomach,
and aid the system in resisting a poison

4. Avoid overeating. To rise from the
table able to eat a little more is a proven
b.ally COOL rule for every one. There is
nothing more idiotic than forcing down a
few mouthfulS, because they happen to
remain on ones plate a'ter hunger is sat

:. Avoid food and drinks that plainly

outdoor workers should beware of heavy,
indigcstible suppcrs. Suppers should al
ways consist of light, easily digestcd
foods-being il the country, SO soon fol
lowed by sleep, and the stomach being
/ as much entitled as the head to profound
rest. The moral pluck and tirmness tc

The Great Question OF the Day.

The late DR.. Samuel d. Gro=s, the
father OF American surgery, used the
following words in an al dgess delivered
at the dcdigationfof the Mcdowell mon
umcHt:
"Young men Of America, listen to the
voice Of one who has grown old in his
lrol"ss.on, ard who viii probably never
address you again, as he utters a parting
Worl of advice.
TIL" great question of the day is not
this operation or that, which have re-
fcctcd so much glory upon American
medicine, but preventive medicine, the
hygiene Of our persons, our dwellings,,
I'll streets, III a word, u surroundings,
whatever or wherever they may be,
whether in city, town, hamlet or u
try, aud the establishment of efficient
town and state boards Of health, through
whose agency we shall b. morc able to
prevent the origin and fatal effects Of
what arc known as the Zymotic or pre-
vcntublc diseases which carry SO much
woe and sorrow into our famili's, and
often sweep like hurricanes over the
earth, destroying millions of human lives
in IN incredibly short time.

A Snowy hex.

In the Owl Mounta rs, Wyoming Ter
ritory, is seen ut long intervals a snow or
white ib@X. Ono Of these rare animals
was recently killed 10y an old trappcr and
hunter known rs Shoshone Jack. The
snow ibcX attains the size of the big-horn
or mountain sheep, has a coat of dazzling
white and is Of the true ibex breed. 1t is
both active and powerful, and when
driven To bay is "A most dangerous adver-
srry. ltS massive horns, with the back
ward sweep of two feet, are formidable
weapons and are formidahly used. Some

flying into the air, and when he struck
the ground the ram was ON top of him.,
And now the heavy, curved horns
Of the furious brute were dashed
again and again against the
anatomy<of the hunter. Every bone and
joint felt the fearful punishment. Finally
Antcn succeeded in grasping one of the
heavy horns, and dragging himself t.
his knees, confronted his furious a>sai!-

forced to the brink of a rough and steep

He made several Intellectual passes with
this weapon, and the closely c,asped foes
went down the wash. out together. The
lbex struck the bottom underneath, and
the keen and ready blade of the hunter
drank deep OF it iife-blood. Again and
again did the knife strike home, and the

Remedy for Painful Wounds.

Take a pan or shovel with burning
Goals and sprinkle upon them common
brown sug1r and hold the wounded part
in the smoke. In a few minutes the pain
will be allayed and recovery proceeds
rapidly. In my own case a rusty nail
had made a bad wound in the bottom of
my foot. The pain and nervous irritation
was severe. This was all removed by
holding it in the smoke for fifteen min
utes, and I was able to resume my read
ing in comfort. | have often recon-
>mended it to others with like results.
Last week one of my men had a finger
nail torn out by a pair of ice tongs. 1t
became very painful, as was to have been
expected. Held in sugar smoke for
twenty minutes, the pain ceased, and it
promises speedy recover Country Gen

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Large charity doth never soil, but only
whitcns soft. hands.
1t is not genius ST. much az ability that
carries one through the battle Of life.
He that calls a man ungratefnl sums
up al the evil that a man can DC guilty
No woman is educated who Is not
equal to the successful management OF a
family.
= Some reserve is a debt to prudence, as
freedom and simplicity Of conversation Is
adebt to good nature.
Hope without acton is q broken staff.
We should always hope for things that
arc possible and probable.
Dress, so far as respects ncatness and
Il anlincss, Is Of great importance to the
first impression VIC make upon others.
One Of the finest qualities in a human
beng is that nice sense of dc.icacy which
renders it impossible for him ever to be
al intruder or a bJrc.
Great works are performed, not By
strength, but by perseverance. You'd T
palace was raised by single stones, yet
you see its height and ~spaciousIess. He
that shall walk with vigor three hours a
day will pass in seven years a space
equal to the circumference Of the globe>
Learning, if rightly applied, makes a
Young man thinking, attentive, industrl-
"IlS. confident and wary; and an old man
cheerful AMI useful. 1t is an ornament
in prosperity, a refuge in adversely, an
entertainment at all times; 1t cheers in
solitude, and gives moderation and wis.
