MRS. RICHARDS'S LECTURE.
Talks to Women on the Importance
of Sanitation.

Mrs. Ellen II. Richards gave the first of
her series of lectures yesterday afternoon in
the lecture room of Plymouth Church,
which was taxed to its capacity to accom-
modate an audience of ladies and one or two
men. Mrs. Richards is an acknowledged au-
thority on sanitation. The special topic of
yesterdays lecture was Public Health and
Domestic Hygiene" Mrs. Richards was in
troduced by Mrs. John B. Elan. The
speaker began by observing that civilization
adds to health and life, and prolongs the
length of ones days 1t is only in recent
years that attention has been paid to sani-
tation. 1t is also a new idea that health and
disease can be controlled. Disease was
formerly considered a dispensation of Provi-
deace. The normal death rate is eleven per
thousand, but preventable diseases increase
it to from sixteen to twenty-five per thou
sand, Mrs Richards drew novel conclusions
By the railroads a human life is valued at
5000. Mrs. Richards estimated that more
attention to sanitation would save a large
loss of life and if each were worth 5000
an immense sum would be saved the peo-
pie. Sanitary laws are made for the safety
Of the people and TO this end there is a
need for clean streets, pure water supply
and for the disposition of refuse. She COM
pnmented TINS city on having a garbage
crematory, She said that one of the great
est sources of diease was expectoration in
the public streets, where the dried sputa is
carried by the wind in every direction.
Mrs. Richards also spoke of the danger
of the prevailing fashion of long skirts,
which swept the street and carry the dirt
into the homes. The speaker thought that
the great care should be for the prevention
of disease. The cities should be responsible
for clean streets, pure water supply and the
disposition of garbage and refuse, but the
women of the country could do vast deal
of good if they properly understood and APP
preciated the value of sanitation. For each
death it is estimated that there are 1853
days of sickness. BY the street cars
crowded concert and lecture rooms and car
peted floors the conditions are now more
favorable for the spread of disease than
formerly. The great remedy is education
along the sanitary idea. All must have the
altruistic idea that every one IS partly re-
sponsible for his neighbors welfare. The
present condition of health is due to a gem
eral lack of belief in the value of sanitary
measures. Consumption, which carries off
some half million of people a year, the
speaker believes, almost might be wiped
out by proper sanitation. The solution she
believes lies with health boards and the
mothers of the land. The talk was listened
to with close interest. The second lecture
will be given this afternoon at AIS and the
subject will be Food in Its Relation to
Health.

CATARRH OF STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe aud En-
feCtual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been con-
sidered the next thing to incurable. The
usual symptoms are a full or bIoatng sensa-
ton after eating, accompanied sometimes
with sour or watery risings, a formation of
gases causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing; headaches,
tickle appetite, nervousness and general
played out, Ianguid feeling
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show
Shiny, infamed condition.
The cure of this common and obstinate
trouble is found in treatment which causes
the food to be readily, thoroughly digested
before it has time to ferment and irritate
the delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing to do
and when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each meal
a tablet, composed of Diatase, Aseptic
Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit
acids. These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a patent
and assurance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their regular
use after meals.
Mr.. n. j. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn street,
Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh is local
condition resulting from a neglected cold in
the head, whereby the lining membrane of
the nose becomes inflamed and the poison
Gus discharge therefrom passing backward
into the throat reaches the stomach thus
producing catarrh of the stomach Medical
authorities prescribed for me for three years
for catarrh of stomach without cure but to-
day l am the happiest of men after using
only one box of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
/ cannot find appropriate words to express
my good feeling. l have found flesh, APP
petite and sound rest from their use"
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of in
digestion, catarrh of stomach, biliousness,
sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after
meals.
Send for little book mailed free, on stom-
ach troubles, by addressing Stuart Com
pany Marshall, Mich The tablets can be
found at all drug stores.

years. Through his being member of the
publishing firms of Messrs Ticknor &
Fields, Osgood & CO.. he was in close rela-
tons with leading literary men connected
with the Atlantic Monthly from 1866 TO 1875
which is perhaps the most brilliant period
in American literary history. In this con-

Take up the White Mans burden
Send forth the best We breed
Go, bind your TO exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait, in heavy harness,
On huttered folk and wild
Your eW-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
BY open speech and simple.
An hundred times made plain.
To seek anothers profit
And work another's gain.
Take up the White ans burden
The savage wars off peace
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
(Ihe end for others soughD
Watch sloth and heather folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
Take up the White Mans burden
No iron rule Of kings,
But toll Of serf and sweeper
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter
The roads We shall not tread,
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead
Take up the White Mans burden
And reap his old reward
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those -ye guard
The cry of hosts We humor
(Ah, slowlyD toward the light
''Why brought We US from bondage,
our loved Egyptian night?
Take up the White Mans burden
Ye dare not stOop to less
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloak your WEAKNESS.
BY all We will or whisper,
BY all We leave or do,
The silent, suIlen peoples
Shall weigh YOUR God and you.
Take up the White Mans burden!

The easy, ungrudged praise:
Comes nog, 70 search your manhood
Through all the thankess years,
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers
