To Prevent Typhoid Fever.

Sulphur burned once a week for
three months in each room in the
house will prevent inmates from
taking typhoid fever, says an ex-
change. From the reading of this
one would infer that reference is had
to houses where there has been a case
of fever, though it is not so stated.
But if burning sulphur will kill the
germs and prevent spread of the
disease it ought to prevent the con-
tracing of it under other conditions.
1t is simple and harmless remedy
and is worth trying anyway.

SPEAK THEM NOW.
a oood Greed Which All of Us Would
DO Well to ADOPT and Live IN IN

The following article we NAV have
printed before but it will bear rene
titlon. We do not know the author
out the sentiment is all right. 1t is
good creed and one all of US should
ADOPT as our own. Remember, we
snail pass this way but once. Let US
then do all the good we can while tie
opportunity is given us. But to the
article in question:
''Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed up
until your friends are dead. Fiji
their lives with sweetness. Speak
approving, cheering words while thew
can near them, and while their hearts
can be thrilled and made happier by
them; the kind things you mean to
say when they are gone, say before
they 60. The flowers you mean to
send for their collins, send to brighten
and sweeten their homes before thew
leave them. If our friends have ala
baster boxes laid away full of fragrant
perfumes of sympathy and affection,
which they intend to break lovingly
over our dead body. we would rather
they would bring them out in our
weary and troubled hours, and open
them that we may be refreshed, cheer
ed by them while we need them. We
would rather have plain coffin with
out flower, a funeral without a
eulogy, than life without the sweet
ness of love and sympathy. Let us
learn to anoint our friends before
hand for their burial. Post mortem
kindness does not cheer the burdened
spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no
fragrance backward over the weary
way"
