Our Endurance.

During life each member of the human
body produces poison to itself. When
this poison accumulates faster than it can
be eliminated. which always occurs unless
the muscles has an interval of rest, then
will come fatigue, which is only another
expression for toxic infection.
If the n uscle is given an interval of rest,
so that the cell can give off its waste pro-
duct to keep pace with the new produc-
tons. the muscle will then liberate energy
for long time. This latter condition is
what we call endurance
Like any o her ponderous and intricate
machine, the body requires time to get in
h rmonious working order. The brain,
nerves. heart and skeletal muscles must
be given some warning of the work they
are expected to perform. Ignorance Of
this fact has broken down many young
man who aspired to honors on the cnder
path.
The necessity of getting all parts of the
body slowly in working order is well I'M
derstood by trainers and jockeys on the
race track. as is evidenced by the prelimi-
nary warming up" they give their horses.
although it is doubtful II the trainers could
give any physiologic reason for their Gus
tom -P0bnlar StieHce.

The MicrObe Craze.

Prof Norton says; There is great dan
ger of the psychological craze landing its
'devotees in quagmre, from which ex-
lrication will be difficult If not impossible
without loss of prestige. The earnest
investigators, are prone, in their enthusi-
a. m. to take too much for granted (the
wish being father TO the thought and it
will not be at all surprising to find that
many steps will have to be retraced !;
many ing enlous and promising theories
abandoned 1t should be borne in mind
that microscopic life is in the main. bene-
ficient to humanity; that the varieties
associated with disease are comparatively
few, by comparison with the others. and.
that in the case of the bacteria that have
been definitely identified with specific dis
eases. il has never been satisfactorily de-
monstra,ed that they are the cause, and
not the product, in such cases. Although
some facts are positively known in bac-
teriology, yet the conclusions drawn from
them are mainly conjectural, and in this
as in other fields. it is not at all unlikely
that the next generation will see the
present teachings thrown out, and gen
eral recasting OF theories.

Carpets Are Unsanitary.

Carpets, even of The very best kind, are
very unsanitary, as they hold a great
amount OF dust. which can only be gotten
rid of by beating and shaking out Of
doors, an operation that at most is in
dulged in but once year, and more often
once in two or three years.
In order to realize the dangers to health
that arise from covering floors with car
pets, says the American Queen. one must
first realize the scientific TACT that the dust
which floats in the air of room that is
lived in. and which finally settles upon
the floor. is a dangerous compound which
consists of particles of the surrounding
materials and the organic matter which
comes from the mouths. skins and cloth
ing of the inmates. and that this COM
pound furnises the food upon which germs
Of disease grow and thrive.
In place of carpets rugs should be used
entirely.
An ordinary floor may be treated so
that ii would look almost as we'll as hard
wood floor with little expense or trouble.
1t is esseuHial to fill in each crevice be-
tween boards with putty before paint or
polish be applied; scrub the entire floor
WE'LL and when it is thoroughly dry, paint
either the entire floor or deep border the
desired color finally go over it again with
polish or shellac. Rugs made of carpets
are largely used.
With hard wood floors few rugs are
deemed necessary.
All rugs s1ould be taken out of doors
once week and well beaten and brushed.
