A MAN

meaning of that word like the man who
has been lost. He will tell you: /" / was

The first impulse of a man lost i'll the
woods is to run. The only safe thing is
to sit right down and reason out the
position.
Sometimes business man gets up at the
usual hour, breakfasts, kisses his wife and
starts for the Office. He has for some

His brain is dull and dizzy, his heart
does not beat right, his breathing is diff

scared He realizes that he's far away
from the trail of health, and suddenly

| The first impulse is to run for help,
though the way is honey-combed with
pitfalls of quackery. But the rational
man faces the facts, sits down and
thinks over the position and its proba-
bilities.
That is the man we want to talk to.

Total ancestors since A. D. 1885, -. g. 4SS 3a
If man have that many ancestors,
remember, for PHYS sake. where does
he figure in the line of posterity!
The number of descendants of 6Z,O49,-
932 human beings would be more than
ever peopled the earth at one time.
And that is only one family.
A contemplation of such proportion
is like trying to calculate the distance
to given star or to imagine the I'M
mensity of the universe.
1t is enough to unhinge the mind and
put the whole race in asyiums.
A man never knows what he is until
he gets to digging up the records of his
forefathers.
Miss Farnsworth probably did not
take these facts into consideration.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor, it is said, is
to be chosen national president of the
new organization. She traces her de-
scent to Hugh Capet, the founder of a
French dynasty; to the Plantagenets
of England and to the royal Saxon line,
which had its origin in Augustus the
Strong.
Mrs. Vanderbilt has also been re-
quested to join. She is descended from
King Edward I of England.
Only one man has been admitted to

of the blood and entrails does not suf-

A live stock farm and aviary are two

1t is claimed that in every instance
when the patient RECEIVERS the animal

proof positive that the strength of the
animal is transferable to the patient
by means of contact, and vice versa,
that a disease can be transferred to

GERS and countless other troubles from
the improper circulation of the blood
in the lower limbs are caused by the
pernicious habit of crossing the legs"
this medical journal goes on to say.
The reason why such serious diseases
follow the mere crossing of the legs is
a purely physiological one. If you
cross your right leg over your left knee
you will notice that the whole weight
of the suspended right leg is sustained
by the left knee, which places all of
the pressure against that under part
of your right leg between the calf and
the knee-cap. Now, any school text

book on physiology will show that just
In the very spot where all the pressure
is placed there is q large number of
large veins, nerves and arteries.
The mere fact of putting undue pres
sure against this spot in either leg has
the effect of crowding all these tissues
and the circulation of the life-giving
fluid is materially interfered with. OF
course the absence of a plentiful sup
ply of blood to the legs and feet causes
them to become so susceptible to the
cold air that the least draught causes
the feet to become annoyingly cold.
AS relief it is suggested that ones
feet may be put on the rungs of an
opposite chair when one is not in COM
pany, and to facilitate the comfort Of
visitors and callers numbers of has
socks should be placed in every waiting
room and drawing room.

concerned women have always been doing that or
course am speaking now of the middle and poorer
classes not of the wealthy ones whose lives are or
dered different lines. times past the rule
of housewives to do their washing, make the
clothes for the family, and often the cloth from which
the garments We're made and all the preserves soap
and candles used in the house besides many other
things. Thus the wife earned at home much often
as the husbands wages amounted to- and sometimes
more, since if he had been obliged to hire the work
done the money paid out would have amounted to his
entire income.
Machinery has changed all this Now it is cheaper
to buy the things formerly made at home, and
not being able to save this outlay must make up the
deficit by going outside the home to what they
can IN other ways. But whether woman works in a
store, factory or in her house it makes diff
