THE FUNERAL MONTH or
MARCH,.

An observant metropolitan barber
says that he can tell ones physical
condition by the state of the hair!
The Bible tells us that with his
hair gone Samson lost his strength.
The Romans considered badness
serious atiiiction and Julius Caesar
was never quite satisfied with himself
because his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open
book and one can readily trace in its
various expressions, lines, changes
and complexion the state of the
system.
The eye that is unusually bright
snd yet has pallid brightness, the
lace upon whose cheeks nature
paints rose of singular beauty and
6ush, more marked in contrast with
the alabaster appearance of the fore
head and nose and lower part of the
face, is one of those whom the skilled
physician will tell you will some day
dread the funereal month of March,
because it is then that consumption
yeaps it's richest harvest. Consump-
ton they tell us is caused by this,
that and the other thing, by microbes
in the air, by heterogeneous III the
blood, by deficient nutrition. by
thousand and one things, but what.
ever the cause, decay begins with a
cough and the remedy that will
effectually stop the cause of that
cough cures the disease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of q
wasting. 70 stop it effectually,
remedy must be used that will search
out the cause, remove that and then
heal thetung and do away with the
cough. This ia tho power, special to
itself, possessed alone by Warmers

remedy. This is no new-fangled
notion of narcotics and poisons, but
an old-fashioned preparation of bal
sans, roots and herbs, such as was
used by our ancestors many years
ago, the formula of which has been
secured exclusively by the present
manufacturers at great trouble and
expense. 1t is not mere cold dryer.
1t is a .system-saarcher and up
builder and consumption expellant.
Where others fail, it wins, because
it gets at the constitutional cause,
and removes it from the system.

Suicide and Insanity.

Whether the tendency of what we

less desirable, or whether it makes il
so much more fascinating that men

open question. But certain it is thar

England the prop 'rtion of sulcioes in

to The million in 1927 to 102 to the

The alarming increase Of suicide in
this country is matter of common
comment. We invariably account for
it by referring to the highly oxygen

the many tempting phazes Of speedy
riches which plunge men into over

The Marriage or Ncar Kim

There is wide spread idea that
consanguinous unions produce either
defective offspring or none at all.
When marriage between cousins Is
spoken Of, sterility ora deaf mute,
idlo'i;, or defor,ned progeny is pre-
dicted, and examples are always at
hand to cite in support Of the proph-
ecy. Does this opinion rest upon
positive and well authenticated facts,
or is it erroneous! This is question
that was examined IL few years ago by
Mr.. &. III. Darwin, who, after a pro-
found study of the subject, came to
the c"nclus'on that, in the present
state of science, there is nothing tn
Justify the con,mon prejudice that ex-
lists against the marriage of near kin.
More recently, the subject has been
further examined by Mr. A. II. Huth,
who has just published an exhaustive
work upon it, in which he arrives at
the same conclusions that Mr. Darwin
did. Mr.. Huth thinks that consan
guni'y of itself plays no particular
role in the union of, individual lis of the
same stock. In the descendants it
increases the tendencies conmun to
the two progenitors. BY reason Of
their relationship, the closer this IS
and the closer the relationship of the
aucesters, the greater is the tendency
Of the dpscenan.s to exhibit the same
dispositions. Ii these are good, con
sanguinenus unions will be 'advanta
ge"us. in that they will fortity and in
ten'ify them If, on the contrary,
they are bad, such unipps should be
avoided, in "rder to prevent rein
forcement of un:avp.rable tendenc rs,
which sh uld be suppressed. But
tie case IS identical where it is a ques-
ton of unrelated persons NJ reason

contrary, a union between cunsanguin-

we'll favored, ought tn he encou ragged.

the ones that are established with
the most facility, there is oftener mare

unions. Upon the whole, Mr.. Huth
concludes that the accusati,ns direct, d

Only Half Alive.

There are hosts OF men and women who, to
coin phrase. are only half alive. That is to
say, they have seldom if ever any appetite,
are nervous, weak, fdgetty and troubled by
numberless small pains and aches. In tho
presence of vigorous, exnberant vitality thesy
seem mere pig mics. such persons are usually
fond Of frequently dosing themselves, swal-
lowing in the course OF the year enough drugs
to stock any apothecary shop of average di-
mensions. This, Of course, defeats instead Of
ofhealth and vigor. Were they to seek It from

case. Thenv vigor uldreturn to their debili-

food, were il ever so coarse, and refreshing
sleep would crown the tasks Of the day.
