HEALTH AND HYGIENE;
SOME VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS

Every new year we make new re-
solves-determine to overcome or to ban
ish old doubts-and it is wise to do so.
Let every busy housewife determine to
shut the worry door and open the rest
door
Physical work is immensely harder and
more fatigueing when it is done under de-
pressing mental conditions. If we try
honestly to Danish all disagreeabie
thoughts it is wonderful what the results
will be.
A truly noble thought is greatly helpful.
1t opens the gate TO restfulness and
strength.
Did you ever notice how quickly ali
minor petty cares and worries vanish at
the approach of real trouble?
1t is an admirable thing to keep we'll
poised both in mind and body. We have
the power to make clear skies for our
selves. and it is our duty to keep well
and strong.
Frequent bathing is necessary to secure
perfect health, as ii is also necessary to
good looks.
Hard water is fatal to good looks. as 1t
reddens and rOughens the skin. 1t is best
to always put little borax in the wash
water, as it dissolves quickly. makes the
water soft, and gives the body a healthful
glow and leaves the skin soft and smooth.
1t IS perfectly harmless, and a good dis
infectant.
Cheerfulness is the sunshine of life.
Good temper is characteristic of great
mental power No people are so tolerant
as really great men and women. For toll
erance has it's source in both the heart
and the head.
Think over these few ideas. Good health
is panacea~~for most of all ills and let
us try first to secure it, and the other
good things will follow.

SAVING NEGRO ORPHANS
FROM IDLENESS AND CRIME

You will please allow me space in your
columns to thank the good white and
colored people of Atlanta and other cities
of the state for the deep interest they
have manifested in the development and
uplifting Of the poor little outcast and
friendless colored waits of Georgia. who
are growing up on the streets and In the
alleys, and cutters and dark places in
our towns and cities without proper train
ing BY the liberal donations made to
me last year for the benefit of Georgia's
Colored Industrial and Orphans home. 10
Gated in central Georgia. near the city
of Macon upon a farm of twenty-five
acres Of land. these waits are cared for
and given mental. moral, manual, agri-
cultural and industrial training and are
being made useful citizens to help build
up this great state of Georgia. This home
was established in 1899 with four children
and a four-room building. In the past two
years We have enrolled fifty-four inmates
and have enlarged the building to eight
rooms and erected three small buildings
for industrial training and other necessa-
~ buildings have been erected, and many
other improvements around and about the
place and farm. The boys are being train
ed farming. shoe and harness repairing
and mechanical work Girls are trained
in cooking. house cleaning. washing and
sewing. Also each child is given three
hours each day to study their books. Now
we feel grateful to our friends and the
public for past favors. and as we are in
much need of increased buildings. both
for their shelter and training. we solicit
your continued cooperation. as the only
hope for the lettering Of this class Of the
colored race is to take them in from the
streets and teach them to work.
Trusting with the aid of our friends
that this will be year of great progress
in this work and that we may be able
TO shelter and care for many more, am,
respectfully yours for humanity,

Iris missed the pot of gold. and sent
Mercury, the wind messenger. to look
for 1t. He asked the trees II they had
seen 1t, and the elm, oak and pine
pointed straight out to the poplar,
saying: THE poplar knows! the pop
lar knows!" II know!" exclaimed the
poplar. why, how should / know"
and she held up her limbs in surprise.
Down fell the pot of gold, much to the
poplar's establishment, for it was 4
very honest tree. So she stretched her
limbs high above her head, declaring
that she would always hold them 10
that the sun god might see that she
had nothing to conceal. OF course, the
other trees laughed at such an unus-
ual procedure. but she taught all the
little poplar trees to stand in the same
upright and fearless way, and they
were ever afterward loved and re-
spected by all.

WOMAN FOR

The Salt Lake Telegram advocates
the election Of a woman for senator
for Utah. 1t presents no candidate,
but simply takes up the question as a
matter Of principle. 1t is hardly prob
able the people Of Utah will follow the
advice of the Telegram. Indeed, 1t is
likely the Telegram has sprung the
matter with a view of being sensation
al and attracting attention.
Women "a qualify themselves for
the United States senate, but they
don't do it. The reason why they do
not Is probably because there are so
many things in a political campaign
~distasteful to the gentler sex. things
that are almost insurmountable for a
woman. A senator is required to make
a campaign as arduous As that OF a
governor, or any other state officer.
and there are many duties connected
with the Office which make it import.
ant 70 the state represented that a sen.
ator should be a man. Under the law,
1t is true a woman may aspire to the
position. In fact it Is lot probable that
any will in the near future.
Women are rarely effective speakers
although Wyoming has a few who
would do credit to the state In any as
semblage. and they are generally timid
about stepping to the front and main
tanning the rights Of those they repre-
sent. In this respect they will grow
with practice and when the time ar
rives for them to be equal in fact po
litically with their husbands. brotheri
and sweethearts, they will doubtless
be 30. Meanwhile the suggestion o.
the Salt Lake Telegram will hardly bt

1.-THE report Of the consummation Of

miner.
Peter Scharf was in the early days
a well-known mining Prosperity
did not agree with him, however. That
is, money burned in his pockets. He
appeared never to be satisfied with
sheer money, no matter what the
mount. He wanted action all the
time. In other words, he was an in
veterate gambler.
HE had some placer claims in the
Blackfoot country north of Helena
and after his cleanup had come ia
town. exchanging his dust for cash,
and started out to buck the tiger, after
having taken the precaution to pur.
chase a supply of provisions.
HE had quite a run of luck and at
one time was several thousand dollars
ahead. After an Intermittent sitting
of a week or ten days. however, he
went fiat broke, and hitching up his
team to the wagonload Of provisions,
departed for his mountain home to
wash out another fortune.

to make the proposition that as they
were both in about the same financial
condition. they play a game Of seven

all the provisions. dust and teams.
