The whole subject OF tho sanitary
condition of farm buildings is a most
important one. Dwellers in the coun-
try are obliged to depend upon them
selves almost entirely for securing
healthful surroundings, as they do not
have the advantage OF boards OF health
and the sanitary regulations OF the
city. / would particularly emphasize
the Importance Of care In regard to
the source OF bringing water. See that
no sink spouts or vaults can possibly
contaminate the well or spring. II
the water can be brought in a con-
stant stream from some pure spring in
the fields, far away from all the build
ings there will be little danger OF its
containing the germs Of typhoid fever
or other diseases. There should always
be a drain from the sink to some
point, at 4 distance from the house.
In vaults and outhouses, plenty OF
lime and other dislnfectants should be
used.
No one has an opportunity TO know
the condition OF the young as we'll as
the physician. When I see boys of Is
years standing on the street corners,
chewing tobacco, or smoking the dead
ly cigarette. wish they could see Just
what such habit leads to, and I often
wonder suppose they could see
just what such a habit leads to, and I
often wonder, suppose they could see
would they take warning ana give up
such things? For some reason boys
seem to grow into a liking for things
that have a tendency to break down
their health rather than the things
that make men strong healthy, well
informed useful and honored. Too
much cannot be said in regard TO the
evils that beset the young men Of to-
day. One OF the worst things in a
young man Is a disposition merely to
drift on. without effort. Taking life
easy, avoiding responsibilities and
making no effort TO improve them
selves, either in mind or body. They
are afraid of work that makes bone
and muscle and too many OF them are
unwilling to start at the foot OF the
ladder and work their way to the top.
They prefer to begin in the middle, and
no young man can do this and make a
success. He Is more likely to come
down than go up when he begins in
this way. The only way to know
business is to learn its first principles.
II young men were willing TO start at
the beginning. more OF them would be
earning good salaries instead Of
working for small wages. and they
would be getting far more enjoyment
out Of life.
There Is another mistake which
young men are liable to make, and
that consists in marrying without any
means to support q family, and bring
ing into the world little ones who must
suffer because their parents cannot
earn enough to olothe and feed them
properly. Only the physician sees or
knows the true condition OF things IN
such cases. He alone knows how many
children are given drugs to stimulate
them because lack OF proper food has
made wrecks OF them. giving them
nothing to make bone and muscle
lChildren while growing should have
nothing but nourishing food. Tea and
coffee may be given in small quantities
Milk and cold water are the best
drinks, with lime water. Candles
should be allowed in small quantities,
but children OF cankerous or scrofu-
lous nature should not be fed on any
kind OF sweets "Our Doctor"
