Women vs.. Nervous Prostration,

"Perhaps the safest rule to follow in
seeking to avoid nervous prostration il
to exercise great care in the selection Of
ones ancestors. If possible, select thos.
on both sides who have lived to be 100
years old. Ancestry, or heredity, have
much to do with disease, more especially
with nervous disorders.
''Heredity is only predisposition, and
one can do a great deal to ward off hered-
ity-that is, to ward off the tendency to
predisposition.
Zone way is to have three generous.
varied and well-cooked meals per day.
Take plenty Of time to eat them-at the
very least thirty to thirty-fve minutes.
better still, one hour, especially for din.
ner. The surroundings and conditions
under which the meal is eaten should be
pleasant. Food is worse than wasted
which is taken into the system when la
boring under great excitement. grief.
anxiety, or other disturbing conditions.
leave all health foods and all fad ar
ticles of diet alone, as you would snake
poison, and just remember that all we
know about diet is that we have teeth
and digestive fluids to take care of pretty
nearly all kinds of food, which is pretty
good indication that we can eat them.
Take eight hours sound sleep. Not
eight hours in bed. but eight hours Sleep
If you do not fall asleep easily, or the
sleep is broken or restless, or you lie
awake an hour or more after going to
bed, you should remain in bed ten hours.
There is not case in history of person
who did with less sleep and kept his
health. The story of Napoleon's six
hours sleep has had pernicious effect
upon many who resembled him in moth
ing except their endeavor to get along
with less than the natural amount of
sleep.
Every woman should get certain
amount Of moderate exercise in the open
air. 1t makes no difference what kind of
exercise is taken so long as it exercises
all the muscles and is not followed by
sense Of fatigue.
1.-The question is not what exercise you
think you ought to have, but what you
can endure. If you find that you can
only walk one hour each day without be-
coming fatigued, then that is enough. II
you cannot take that much exercise. then
walk half an hour, but if half an hours
exercise exhausts you so that you do not
quickly recover after a short rest, then
You are sick and you need doctor.
THE element of worry has undoubt
preston. There is great deal Of worry
which is totally unnecessary. 1t is pos
sible to cultivate a cheerful and content
ID frame of mind. If you have not sufi
cient self-control to do this, then invoke
some artificial aid, such as religion, faith
cure, don't worry clubs, or in some way
supplement- or cultivate that self-contro
which it was the purpose of God that
you should have. Take mirror and
learn to smile cheerfully ''-Landon Car

strongly in those organizations not SO for
maj IN their nature as boards of trade or
other such serious institutions. The re-
bellion against the set dinner with it's
inevitable set speeches has been particu-
larry active in the case Of college socie-
ties and classes, who have tried every
thing from smoker to vaudeville
show in order to find some substitute for
the dinner, and they are still searching
for function which shall be more en-
Pertaining than either OF these has
proved. One characteristic instance of
these attempts to find something new
was experienced last week. An Organi-
cation seeking some new way to cele-
brate its yearly meeting decided that
something in the way Of pipes and beer
would be the most appropriate fashion.

however, to lead to one more trial. The
next time resort was selected which
was perfectly suited to the gathering from
a material point of view. It was decor

all right in every way. But the repast of

FILES BANKRUPTCY PETITION.
Failure of Alexander Mcdonald, King
of the Klondike.


Chicago, Aug. IA special to the
Times Herald from San Francisco says:
Alexander Mcdonald, king of the Klon-
dixie. has failed. His liabilities are
estimated at $4,000, 900. His assets
are of uncertain value. After know
ing for two years what it is to be a mil
lionaiIe many times over. he has
shouldered his pick, and, without COM
planning, has started again as a poor
miner. leaving his bride in Dawson
with score of creditors for whose ben.
eft all his interests, both mining and
trading, have been assigned. In his
formal declaration of insolvency, filed
at Dawson, July 30. Mcdonald stated
his liabilities to be approximately
$6,000,0 900, while there is no way of
fully computing his assets, as his in.
vestments are of largely problematicai
value. AS they will have to be sacri-
feed, Mcdonald himself says there
will not be enough to 60 around. al.
though he believes their ultimate valve
will prove $40, 900, 900 at least. He is
not at all disheartened by hs sudden
change Of fortune. Indeed, he appears
relieved.
"It's too much worry" he declares,
"to be millionaire. Mcdonald was
one of the first, as well as one of the
most fortunate of the Klondike po-
neers. His bride, an English girl, al.
most 90 years his junior, looks at the
situation with philosophical fortitude.
She says she is quite satisfied as LONG
as he keeps his health and courage.
When Mcdonald married Margaret
Chisholm in London. February 6 last,
his wealth was variously estimated
at from $4,000, 900 to five times that
sum. Mcdonald passed through Taco
ma last October en- route from Dawson
City to London. and it was stated then
in various dispatches that he carried
with him for expense money fully
$4,000, 900. 1t was also related by
the press that foul years ago he passed
through Tacoma practically penniless,
headed for the Klondike with the
avowed purpose of pulling out his
stake"
When Mcdonald went to England, a
few months ago, to organize q syndi-
cate to control the transportation and
provision business of the far north, he
left his affairs In the hands OF incom-
petent agents. On his return, credit
ors made demands which he could not
meet. Before going to the Klondike,
Mcdonald prospected in Colorado.

Protect Our Food.

The doctors inform US that alum is a
poison, and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make
the food unwholesome. Prominent
hygienists, who have given the matter
most study. regard these powders as
an evil that should be suppressed by
state action. In Minnesota and Wis
consin alum powders are not permitted
to be sold unless they are branded to
warn consumers OF their true character,
while in the District of Columbia the
authorities have under the direction of
congress, adopted regulations to pro-
hibit the use of alum in bread alto
pether.
Are not the people of other states, as
we'll as those of Minnesota and Wis
consin, entitled to warning OF danger
which is apparently menacing them at
close hand, and is not the whole coun.
try entitled to. absolute protection, as
the people OF the District of Colum bia
are protected, by legislation which is
entirely prohlbitive?
Until we can have protection in the
form OF statute, how can our state
boards of health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the newspapers
from time to time the names of the
baking powders which they find to be
made from alum?
Meantime, it will aid the housewife
in designating the alum powders to re-
member that all powders sold at twen-
ty-fve cents or less per pound are of
this dangerous class. Pure cream of
tartar powders are usually sold at
from forty-fve to fifty cents a pound.

While the turkeys natural life is

The chances at birth that baby will
eventually marry are nine in 20, or
rather less than one-half This result
may seem surprising. but it is largely
accounted for by the great mortality OF
persons under manageable age, espe-

Dentists in Germany are using false
teeth made of paper, instead of porce-
lain or mineral composition. These
paper teeth are said to be very satisfac-
tory, as they do not break or chip, are
not sensitive to heat or cold or to the
action of the moisture of the mouth,
and are very cheap.
