FOOD, WATER AND AIR.
The Essential Things Out of which
Blood liz Made.

blood liz Made.
These are the things out of which
blood Is made IL the food Is nutrl-
tious and properly cooked, If the air is
pure and full of oxygen, If the water
Is clean and free from impurities, the
blood will be rich and red and full of
vitality.
Barring physical accidents, there Is
no sickness except that depending dl-
rcctly upon want of food or water
or air, sometimes all three. When any
one is sick the presumption Is that he
has been trying to subsst ON poor
food or Initiated air or bad water one
or more.
In order 10 have good food n person
ought to have the first eating of it.

In order to have good air person
ought TO have the first breathing of it
Air that has been breathed by other
persons is not fit to breathe again.
Water should be fresh from some
spring or well. If hydrant water must
be used let It run bit, as the house
pipes are apt to be of lead and not
iron like the pipes that convey the wa
ter through the city.
Food that is rclshed, air that cools

was too much taken up with his own

he had never worked, simply to find
work. And now he had just II cents
left
As a last resort he tried the industrial
homes and the missions for men. He
WIS sure he could get job of some
kind there. But they turned him

THE TRUE FISHERMAN.

Not Mere butcher.

The anglers art is but II preteNt, or,
rather the incentive to Il ramblc, and
not the sole object of the fisherman,
unless, alas, he belongs TO that too
common variety, the man whose sole
object Is his catch. Such man fishes
with II worm, hides tingcrlings In the
depth of his basket and photographs

The true fisherman loves to catch

Weary trout but rs he walrlers from
pool to pool the songs OF the birds
greet him rcstfully. Every turn in tho
| stream reveals nook in which strange
wild flowers nestle. The gentle ex-
citemcnt of the sport prevents the
Scene from becoming monotonous. Tho
element of chance, the uncertainty of
| the catch, add the drop OF tabasco
sauce which gives Zest to the day. And

there such things rs corporations,
trusts, stocks, bonds, electric lights
that amaze the sight, harsh warnings
of trolley gongs, the rumble and grind
of the wheels and the brakes on the
elevated road which alright the ear?
The harshcst note that breaks the still
ness here is the boom of the bittcrn in
the distant marsh.
Home to camp the fisherman goes,
taking cast in this silent pool in
which the trout rose In the forenoon
