Health Don'ts. ="

Don neglect your house drains, nor
the drainage about your house. The first
condition of family health is a dry and
sweet atmosphere With dry walls, a dry
cellar, and drains that carry off refuse with
out letting in foul gases. halt the battle for
good health is won.
Don let your wells or springs be in
fected by drainage or from other causes.
Pure drinking water is indispensable for
health at home or anywhere.
Don't keep the sun out of your living
and sleeping rooms Sunlight is absolutely
necessary for right condition of the at
mosphere that we breathe and for our
bodily well being
Don sleep in the same fannels that
you wear during the day.
Don't wear thin socks or light soled
shoes in cold OF wet weather.
Don't catch cold Catching cold is
much more preventable than is generally
supposed A person in good physical CON
dition is not liable to colds, and will not
fall victim to them unless he is grossly
careless Keep the feet warm and dry,
the head cool, the bowels and chest well
protected; avoid exposure with an empty
stomach; take care not to cool off too rap
idly when heated; keep out of draughts;
wear hannels; and with the exercise of a
little common sense in various emergencies,
cold will be rare. IF colds were penal
offense we should soon find way to pre-
vent them
Don neglect personal cleanliness, but
use the bath with moderation and in ac-
cordance with your general health. The
daily cold bath is right enough with the
rugged, but it is great tax upon the vi
tality of persons not in the best health,
and should be abandoned if the results are
not found to be favorable, and tepid water
used instead Each man in these things
should be judge for himself; that which
is excellent for one is often hurtful for
another.
Don have much confidence in the cura-
tive nature of drugs. The above is from
the chronological Journal, which adds :
Remember that Dr. Good Habits, DR..
Diet, and DR. Exercise are the best doc
tors in the world.

A N APPEAL TO VOTERS.
If you think the saloon an evil why don't
you have the courage of your convictions and
say so through the ballot box? God asks no
man TO vote with majorities, but for principal.
Let no Prohibitionist throw away his vote by
voting for "a good man. in party which has
not the moral courage to pronounce against
the saloon. If you plant poisonous weed in
your garden don't blame your boy for getting
poisoned. If you vote with a political party
that favors license, don't blame your boy for
getting drunk. Are you a partner in the
saloon business even to the extent of one vote?
The call is urgent to every Prohibitionist TO
do his whole duty. Vote the Prohibition
ticket. J. A. WEIGAND.
