Her book Democracy and Social
Ethics,'' is a remarkable contribution
to the literature of sociology. strik-
ing feature of it is that perhaps uncon-
sciously to the author, it shows the
need of reform at the so called top of
society rather more than at the so
called bottom. Those who would help
the poor, the ignorant and the undevel
oped must come among these people
and learn how they look on life. To
help humanity reformers must be one
with humanity, dwell with it and show
how much betterits life can be lived even
under the conditions and environment
of the Nineteenth ward, Chicago. This
is the method adopted by the Salvation
Army, the method of Tolstoi and, with
reverence be it spoken, that of the
Founder of Christianity. Never will

THINGS WHICH WILL
KEEP YOU YOUNG.

Never neglect your daily exercise. A
brisk walk for couple of miles in the
fresh morning air or a four or five mile
bicycle ride is one of the first essentials.
Plain, nourishing food and abundance
of good, ripe fruit is another Fruit is
best eaten in the morning. Bananas
are easy of digestion to some and very
nutritious; grapes are nourishing and
fattening; apples are especially good
for brain workers, and oranges are CT
great benefit to people afflicted with
rheumatism.
Personal cleanliness is the next essen
tial to keeping young. A daily bath
and a good rub will clear the complex
ion faster than medicine.
Have plenty Of fresh air in your liv-
ing and sleeping rooms. Leave your
bedroom window open from the top
several inches every night, no matter
how cold the weather. Have your bed
covering warm and light.
On getting up in the morning arrange
your bedding and bed so that they may
be thoroughly aired. Leave the window
open in your bedroom for the greater
part of the day. In your living room
ventilation is also necessary, and sun
shine too.
Poor ventilation is accountable for
much ugliness and, in children. deform-
ity Fresh air and sunshine are as es-
sential to a human being they are to
a plant.
Avoid tight clothing-c garters,
sleeves, arniholes, collars and waist
bands Tight clothing disturbs the cir
culation of the blood and is the cause of
red noses, enlarged veins, flushing, etc.
Eight hours sleep is absolutely re.
uuired to rest the brain.
