Social Purity

| The second lecture of the course on Social
| Purity was given by Mrs. Drake in the
chapel of State street church yesterday after
noon.
The subject for the afternoon was "Phy-
steal Culture" The lecturer began by re-
ferring to the inter-relations of body, mind
and spirit, saying that the study of these
inter-relations is modern. AT one time in
the ancient world the highest ideal was the
warrior. A step in advance Of this was a
sound mind in a sound body. In the earlier
ages of Christianity, some of its leaders in
stead OF relating spirit to mind and body, set
off spirit against mind and body. As Chris
tianity comes to be better understood it has
changed Ideals, and the demand now is fol-
symmetrical development of body, mind and
spirit. This makes the mothers work
harder. She must watch and develop the
weakest part The form which civilization
takes in America demands that we adjust
ourselves to it. 10 do this we must under
stand our environment. What is the physi-
cal condition Of our nation today? Those
who come to us from other lands say we are
nation of invalids. The truth is, we en-
dure strain which would kill the Indian.
iet the fact remains that our civilization
makes too much demand upon nerve power.
NouoS UP nOAfOuo hCiSy iaotCl tidu VIC
can generate it. We are living beyond our
means physically. and that means physical
bankruptcy. How shall the nation be
brought back to living within its means !?
The strain of business is intense and the
effect OF business ambition is to take men
more and more away from home. The home
life must be strengthened, and spirit of
contentment be cultivated to balance the
spirit of ambition.
How shall women meet the demand of our
civilization in its increased nervous strains Z?
By saving force rather than wasting it, And
the speaker here gave three suggestions.
Select, simplify, systematic. Don't try to
DO everything. Simplify in diet, dress
Plan, do, succeed, and the effect will be har-
mony, tone and nervous strength
How shall children be prepared to meet
the demands of the age? Keep them chill.
dren as long as possible. Make them under
stand the value of health, and that il is as
really wrong to violate physical law as
spiritual law. ~
Mrs. Drake referred to the fact that high
ly cultivated nervous organism throws off
the old diseases. while it fails victim to
new diseases related to the exhausted ner-
vous condition of the nation, and after brief
reference to Christian science and faith cure
concluded by saying that one living in a
spiritual atmosphere will often rise above
disease.
The remaining lectures of the course will
begin at four p. m. instead of three as here
tofore, and single tickets can be obtained at
the door each afternoon.

mr.. McAIpIne makes an Exclamation

To the Editor Of the Press:
have no wish to discuss school-board
matters in the public prints, but must de
cline to occupy the ridiculous position ar
ranged for me in the following paragraph,
from your issue of yesterday:
Discussion ensued on the question of punish.
iaent foT hardness, involving loss q reeitations
IN the High School. Mr.. McAlpine said seven
teen girls had been sent home for three minutes
hardness. Principal Chase said the rule came
down TO him from his predecessors and when he
asked MT McAlpine for instructions, when that
gentleman was chairman Of the High School. he
told him to go on as before. No action was taken.
The matter referred to above, as under
discussion. is proposed order by the school
board to change rule in the High School.
which seems to me more honored i the
breach, than In the observance" The case
OF the seventeen young ladies was stated by
me, at the request Of other members of the
board, as illustrating the working of the
rule. The rule itself was the matter under
discussion, and not individual cases. This
l stated plainly and definitely at the time.

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this "nervous trouble" with which so
many seem now to be afflicted? Ii you will re-
member a few years ago the word Malaria was
comparatively unknown, to-day 1t is as common
as any word in The English language yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in time past. SO 1t is with nervous
Diseases as they and Malaria are intended to COW

all are caused by troubles that arise from a dis

its functions finding it cannot dispose of the bile

les, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are suf-
