When we read of an elephant hunter who
has been trampled to death in the wilds of
India, we wonder at the foolhardiness of a
man who will travel round the world and
endure all manner of hardships, in order to
court death in a far away jungle. A man
in order to court death in a manner equally
foolhardy.
Thousands of hard working men are daily
counting death in a much more certain
form, without ever leaving their native vii
lagos or cities. They are the men who neg
lect their health They are the men who
court death from consumption, or some
other deadly disease due to improper or
insufficient nourishment. The man who
suffers from bilious or nervous disorders,
who has a weak stomach and an impaired
digestion, who has lost the power to eat,
rest or sleep, and h fails to take prompt
steps to remedy these conditions, is court
ing death in the guise of some fatal malady.

Cavite, miles south, where the heavy
forts are located. At the same time

fleet turned west, passing directly in
front of the forts and the Spanish
ships. Our feet approached in the
following order: Olympia, Baltimore,
Petrol, Concord, and Boston. AS the
ships turned in range they joined in
