The annual report of the Surgeon General OF
the United States Army declares that the health
of the troops has been unusually good that as
a result Of American occupation the sanitary
conditions of almost every city and town m
Cuba have been improved. and that army sur
geons are now in possession of knowledge
which enables them to stamp out yellow fever.
In recent years the list of victories gained in
the course of the incessant warfare against dis
ease is exceedingly impressive. Physicians and
surgeons are making advances steadily and life
becomes better worth living.

and that harsh and cruel judge He
had but her, anc when she was taken
from him, all those sweet ties were
rent in the one that bound them to-
gether, and he stood face to face with
all the antagonists, unarmed and IN
shielded. He tried to supply her place
not because he was inconstant, but
because he loathed loneliness. In ey-
cry instance he failed. Those whom
he sought had other ties and friends;
ondary place within their hearts. What
was more important to him than this
they were Of the common order Of

once again" He asked that question

windows of her present home. As he
gazed, he saw figure-a female figure
pacing up and down the lawn. His
heart told him who it must be. In .
moment he was by her side.
Rose! Rose! Will you welcome me
back?" he cried in voice that trem-
bled with eagerness.
And she, pale and startled, but
smiling all the while, put both her
hands in his.

And so the question was answered

SLEEP AFTER EATING.
Sleep on n Full Stomach Is Unfavorabie
to Digestion.

Whether to sleep after taking food
is good or bad is a question which
many ask, but cannot get a decisive
answer. That it may not do much
harm in many cases seems evident
from common experience, but still it
does not appear to be good habit.
Dr. Schulz of Fribourg, has made ex-
periments which tend to throw light
on the matter. He has analysed the
contents of healthy stomachs after
meals and finds when sleep follows the
meal, the movement of the stomach
is weakened, and the acidity Of the
gastric Juice increased. Sleep on a
full stomach is therefore unfavorable
to digestion. On the other hand, mere
ly to lie down or rest in horizontal
position stimulates the motive action
of the stomach, without increasing the
acidity of the gastric juice. The moral
of his results is that one should lie
down after a meal, but not fall asleep,
more especially IL the stomach Is di-
lated and its juices excessively acid.
People troubled with acidity should,
above all, avoid sleeping after meals,
and yet such people often feel drowsy
after eating. The difficulty Is to draw
the line between resting and sleeping
after meal. Talking is less apt to in
duce sleep than reading in supine
position. ~

EATING WHEN EXHAUSTED.


CONFUSING tuo APPouso On ASCo1PsASp'
mont in Self Discipline.
Half the people We know have vio-
lent attacks of indigestion, because
they will persist in eating hearty
meals when in an exhausted condition.
They seem never willing or able to
realize that there are times when the
system is in no fit state to grapple with
a full meal. They come in tired and
hungry, almost ravenous, not thinking
that maybe a good deal of what they
consider hunger is gastric irritation,
then sit down to a table covered with
the substantials of life, and deliberately
go to work and overtax the already
overstrained vital powers. No person
should ever eat heartily when very
tired. The wisest thing to do is to
drink a cup Of hot water with three
teaspoonfuls OF milk in 1t, sit down for
five minutes, and then begin slowly to
eat, masticating thoroughly. In lit
tie while the vigor of the stomach will
come back, and all will be we'll. II
this course were followed, there would
be one case Of dyspepsia where now
there are a dozen. 1t seems to be the
most difficult Of all things to properly
control. When once mastered, some
thing important has been accomplish
ed in self-discipline.

The dipping of sheep Is an annual
duty for every sheep breeder to fol-
low or should be so considered. Many
shepherds from laziness or some other
similarly senseless reason or none, neg.
lect to dip their sheep with the result
that they lose good deal Of growth
that might otherwise be set down to
profit and also run the risk of getting
skin disease among their sheep which
will be found very hard to eradicate
after it has once become well rooted.
There was a time when the dipping
of sheep was rather formidable I'M
dertaking for the reason that people
did not have the proper appliances and
at the same time had to concoct Won
derful brews Of dope In which to i'm
merse the unfortunate animals. At
that time the dipping tank with its
runways and dripping platforms was
unknown and dips used were largely
home productions of a highly poison
Gus character. Numbers of sheep were
poisoned annually, some from absorp-
ton OF arsenic or corrosive sublimate,
others from taking the arsenic into
their stomachs while grazing pastures
where sheep had been turned out after
dipping in arsenical dips. Nowadays
the construction OF proper dipping
tanks is well understood and there are
numbers of effective dips upon the
market which merely require the ad-
dition of water to make them ready
for effective work either for the de-
struction of ticks or for the cure OF
scab. OF the dips referred to the most
easily prepared for use are those made
from tar and Of these may be cited the
popular, economical and effective ones
advertised in our columns. There has
been a vast deal OF discussion pro
and con as to the merits and dement's
OF sulphur and lime connections, but
the weight Of testimony has in our
opinion been clearly against the use
of this combination which while fair
ly effective has the draw back of being
highly detrimental to the wool. On the
other hand there are many who claim
with good reason that dips of the tar
product variety are positive advan-
tage to the wool in that they keep 1t
soft and full of vigor and when used
after shearing stimulate a rapid and
healthy growth. That noted authority
upon sheep Richard Gibson OF Can
ada advises that sheep should be
dipped three time7 year not because
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1901-07-04

there will be three crops Of ticks, but
because increase Of both wool and
mutton will result. He adds:"A rich
man may discard the use of dip;
poor mar cannot afford to do So"
This is fair view Of the matter and
We are strongly of the opinion that
any reader of this paper who has not
made 1t practice to dip his sheep at
least once year will find 1t very
profitable practice to follow in the
future The best time to dip sheep is
just after shearing in that the dip then
gets into closer contact with the skin
and will therefore prove most effective
both in destroying any ticks that may
be present. curing skin trouble which
may be in the incipient stage and in
stimulating a fresh growth Of healthy.
long stapled wool. At this time too
all of the young lambs should be
dipped for the reason that the ticks
will have largely migrated to their
tender bodies causing untold misery
and at the same time retarding growth
and health. 1t has further been found
that where sheep and lambs are prop
erly dipped at the season Of the year
indicated that the dip will retain suf-
ficient strength for some time to keep
away both CAD fiies-whose larvae en-
ter the nostrils causing the grubs
which later torment the victims and
even lead to fatal results in some in
stances, and the other common fly
which deposits eggs about the anus
or in any sores that may exist upon
the body, later producing a crop Of
horrid maggots which prove a source
of suffering and emaciation to the
sheep and disgust to the owner.
Viewed from every standpoint We can
think of the dipping of sheep is SEN
sible and hygienic.
