BIG FIRES!
Great Fires Are Constantly
Burning.
stu They VIII Go Out in Time NOS
RepIenished-Food is Fuel for
the Body,

the Body.
History records the occurrence OF
most disastrous fires. A few times our
own country has been visited in this
vav with tremendous force. Yet how
insignificant they seem when com
pared to the raging fires OF the sun.
A recent writer in one of our monthly
journals, illustrates the enormous heat
which the sun gives out, as follows:
he saws that if all the coal which exists
on this globe could be placed in one
mass, and then Immediately burned
up, it would not produce as much heat
as the sun throws off into space in
one-tenth of a second. OF course, We
cannot comprehend what this means,
But there is another fire constantly
burning, of which many of us are
not aware, although we live very close
to it.
We all know that the human body is
warmer than the surrounding atmos.
phere while during cold weather the
difference is very marked. What keeps
the body warm? Because it is con-
stantly burning up.
We replenish the fire in the stove by
adding more coal or wood. The oxy-
gen of the air unites with this fuel and
heat is produced. The fuel for the
body is our food; and the oxygen
obtained from the air we breathe
combines with it and heat is produced.
This heat is constantly escaping from
the skin. During summer we dress
lightly to aid it's escape. During
winter we put on hannels, because
wool is not a good conductor of heat,
and will not allow it to escape SO freely
from the surface of the body.
If a person is plump in flesh, that is,
II he has layer Of fat just beneath
the skin, he has a medium which holds
in the heat of the body, as a layer Of
wool does when placed on the outside
Of the skin. Persons who are plump in
Aesh do not SILVER with every cool, in.
MIGRATING breeze. Neither do they
require so much food, for as the heat
cannot escape SO readily, so it is not
necessary to add as much fuel. Plump
ness means protection; defense against
coughs and colds; shelter for an escape
from neuralgia and sciatica; shield
to throw off nervous prostration bet
ter security from the germs of con-
sumption; an escape from thousand
aches and pains which cling to body
that is poorly nourished. Plumpness
is prosperity, thrift, good nature, hap.
piness.
SCOTS Emulsion Of Cod-liver Oil with
Hypophosphites will not make you
over-fat, simply plump, just about
right. 1t puts that coat of fat over
the body, pushes up the skin, and re-
moves wrinkles and angles.

Norwegian Cod-liver Oil than any other

Why does the bull so strongly OBJECT

kingdom who are excited by anything
red. A large number Of hands are en-
ployed in the mandatory, 0oth male

hitherto been performed in rooms 10

of affairs was assumed. until recently,
to be inseparable from work carried
on in uncomfortable conditions. At
length il occurred 10 some bright spirit
that the red panes of glass might be at

the effect OF green panes would be. The
effect was instantaneous. From that

rushed up and separated the young

generally they received it. When the
