The Battle Of Lie.

The true hero win endeavor to make the
most Of life, and to this end the first con-
sideration is robust constitution Like q
good general on the battle plain, who, when
expecting an attack from the enemy, will
entrench himself in Notifications, SO he,
when disease is in the atmosphere or hover
ing in ambush amid climatic changes. will
fortify his system against every encroach-
ment the grim monster may seek to make.
Many grand life has ended for want OF
timely precaution in the hour Of need.
When fever and influenza are abroad, when
the damp chilly days touch the marrow
bones, when en1uvia and malaria walk
hand In hand, then it Is that the system
should be fortified by o use of that superb
strengthening tonic Alternative Of DR.. John
Bulls Sarsaparilla, which keeps the blood
pure and the functions regulated, 80 that
disease can not enter the citadel Of life.

WASTE OF NERVE FORCE.

Abstract OF = Lecture by j. II. Kellogg,
M. D., Battle Creek Ssnitarium.
Americans waste nerve force by un-
necessary expenditure. They eat too
much, and sleep too little; they read
exciting books and enter excited dis
cussions; they wear themselves out in
exciting forms of recreation, and, in
short, can not enjoy themselves unless
they get excited in some way. Children
are growing up to think they can not
be happy without some form of excite
ment and they make it unless furnished
from outside. Women squander nerve
force ON tea and the men ON nicotine
and then take sedati vo to make them
sleep Quieting the ne rves with bromide
of potash or the like, is like piling on
sand bags for ballast In this way the
medicine habit is formed. Tonics are
taken to tone the nerves up for the day
and sleeping potions must follow at
night. How many people are there who
do not swallow some kind of medicine
every day? / saw a picture once Of .
farmer who had brought in produce for
barter and had taken in exchange tea
and tobacco in about equal quantities,
con diments and moderate supply Of
sugar and salt while larger basket
was being piled up with patent medi-
cinesl This is but slightly exagger-
ated representation, and everybody who
knows should be missionary to tell
people the harm Of continual dosing.
Tonnes do not make the nerve tone
any better; they only take q little more
nerve out of the fund. They give NO
strength. but take strength out Of the
body by inducing the patient to expend
more than he can spare.
The great need then is to save nervous
energy in every way possible. Do not
squander it in useless talk or useless
reading or needless excitement Keep
away from exciting games and shun
exciting papers and books Go into .
a gymnasium daily and take systematic
exercise; this is an expenditure that
will bring return in increasing nerve
capital which can be turned into useful
channels II you are already an invalid.
consider yourself in the condition of .
run down farm which must be allowed
to lie fallow and be titled and enriched
in various ways, and remember that
these processes all require time and
that nature will not be hurried. Give
her fair chance and she will deal gen.
erously with you.-Reported By Helen
L. Manning.

ATTENTION TO DETAILS.


Tho Man Who NsgIscts the Little Things
wiz Never Succeed.
In these days Of colossal combina.
tons, commerce is conducted on such .
large scale that the seemingly trivial
details Of business are often neglected.
The desire to figure before the world
as large operator too often blinds the
manufacturer or merchant to the me-
COSTLY of looking to the many minor
economies which might be instituted in
his establishment. 1t should be re-
membered that little leaks are often
more dangerous than the bigger ones,
which arc sooner discovered and stopped.
It is unsafe to despise the day of small
things. Many q man who is now .
millionaire owes his position more to q
constant attention to every detail of
his business than to any wonderful man

taking, consecutive effort will in the
long run complish more than brill
liant but cratic genius. Competition
and the modern methods of conducting
trade have reduced prices to such de-
gree that very little suf1ices to turn
the balance from profit to loss.
Such economies, of course, need in
telligent direction. Machinery and tho
improved process of manufacture have
so cheapened some articles that what
would at one time have been considered
an extravagant use of them is quite JUS
tifiable now. Every one remembers
the stories told by Stephen Girard and
other famous merchants who picked up
pins and Strengthened bent nails that
they might be used again. Pins and
nails arc now so cheap that the time
spent in retaining them may be en-
ployed TO better advantage, but the idea
that prompted those men remains and
can be employed as profitably as ever.
The amount of waste in shoe factories
resulting from careless and ignorant
employees is enormous. A competent
foreman in nearly every department.
can save the amount of his salary each
week by keeping close watch on the
leather and other material used. The
timely application of few drops of oil
to rapidly-revolving shaft in numer-
GUS cases, will save a considerable loss
of time and money. In the fitting or
stitching room a small fortune can
easily be squandered in year, just for
lack Of careful scrutiny of how the
silk. thread, needles and sewing-ma-
chine parts are wasted. A worry little
laxity of discipline in a cutting room
where fine, high-cost feathers are cut
will soon result in lowering theNverago

slant drain of numbcrless outlets which
though severally small in the aggregate
are enormous.-Shoe and Leather Re-
