One of the most inveterate practical

feeling more than Is karats fine for a
few days, so he purchased a bottle of
a wcll-known patent medicine, with a
view of obtaining relief, and started
in. But he had not taken more than
two or three doses before the medicine
was quietly removed from the bottle
and the the bottle was refilled with
coffee and a few other ingredients, and
set back in it's place. And it is
whispered in polite circles that Mr.
Pedder actually took the entire con-
tents of the bottle, according to direc-

Plans are being perfected for a race
on the ice at Hallowell, this week, prob
ably either Tuesday or Wednesday,,
which will bring together the best
speed horses in the three cities. There
will be two classes, a free for-all, and
a class for green horses, the latter be-
ing eligible to all horses that are quail
fled to start in a 3-minute class. In
the free-for-all will be found such
horses as Morning News (220A,

LOW STATE OF VITALITY.

In the case of the Philadelphia Hos
pital staff doctors and nurses, their
attack by the disease is due to expos
ure, which when used by doctors,
means any condition that tends to ex-
haust vitality and waste tissue. They
would not have suffered from the dis
ease had they not been in a weakened
condition physically, with a low state
of vitality. The confinement of their
duties and unfavorable surroundings
would cause that condition.
Tissue is to the body what the foun-
dation and framework is to a building
it is what all the different organs of
the body are made of. Although they
seem to be made up of different parts,
they are all composed of the same
thing, called tissue, fibre or cells.
Each day we use up a certain amount
of tissue. The blood is drawn upon
to make w. for this wear and tear,
the little cells taking their own par
ticular needs.
If new tissue is built as fast as the
old is used. We get the vital force by
which we live. If it is not, the result
is death: either directly or by weak
ened vitality so that the system is
unable to fight off visiting disease.
THE BATTLE OF THE MICROBES.
The microbe IS the name applied
alike to little living bodies that cause
disease. and to those that do not. They
exist everywhere, in our food, in water,s
in the air we breathe. Those that
cause disease are taken into our bodies
every day. along with those that do
good.
Fortunately. Nature has provided
millions OF little health microbes.
