EASY TO KEEP WELL
IF you KNOW YOURSELF.

Keeping well is mechanical. Eat
Ing, working. sleeping, temperate en-
ioyments and becoming animated over
some useful subject cover the field.
II is better to pay a doctor to tell
you how to keep well than to treat
you after you arc sick. But so few
do this the doctors hardly know what
to say when n tries the plan.
A suggestive fact IL that a m
with continually poor health will take
q sick house plant and bring It up into
a 1ourishing state, and n man who
eve sees a well day will take a sick
horse and cure him. This illustrates
the power of special knowledge ap.
piled. But there are people with sp@
cial tendencies and inherited Diseases.
who break all rules of treatment and
preventive science, though these ex-
ceptions are so few that no one need
place himself in the list till he has
tried a modern course of systematic
exercise with proper diet and right
remedies.
Ii took II doctor a long time to
learn that bread with coffee or fruit
with bread did not agree with him.
He found that potato and fruit or
coffee went all right together. You
must know yourself and then do as
well as yon know.
A Chicago doctor tells me that a
cold salt water bath before breakfast
Is n ~favorite with him He thinks
more of soups than meats. Recently
radishes and lettuce gave him such
severe indigestion that it required
a milk diet for days to restore his
stomach. But for some people milk
is almost a poison. and for diet they
eat graham waters or dry toast.
Another doctor tells me he can eat
anything but liver ard does not pay
much attention to himself except to
eat and sleep regularly. He has nat
ural force, physical harmony, latent
energy, and lives healthily automat.
ically. 1t is just as important to have
a little reserve strength as it is to
have emergency money.
Some people seem to draw money
and health toward themselves cou.
tinually. while others appear to
frighten these blessings off. There
are lew general rules. Some really
need medicine often, but many will
never be healthy as long as they con.
tinue dosing. IL surely requires a
clear head TO decide for each case
Alright. Some are built TO walk many
miles a day and some are always in
jured by a common stroll. One man
told me that muscular exercise always
destroyed his appetite and that a
couple hours work i'm his study made
him as hungry as a bear.
Many eat too much. A few do not
eat nearly enough. Light foods and
no cold drinks for summer. Keep
away from very hot air II you are
going into very cold air winters. BE
extra careful about clothing during
spring and fall. Plain food gives
rich blood. DO not experiment with
your appetite. II you know by expert.
ence useful information that would
add to this or have a question you
would like answered send it on. Eat
for strength. Speak for truth. Live

A GREAT BABY SHOW.
Hundreds Of Youngsters Exhibited IL
an Enqlish Town,

an English Town. .
AT a baby show in England tho
other day there we're 43O entries,
which included seventeen pairs Of
twins.
All the babies were between the
ages of six and twelve months. About
half of the total number of entries
had to be refused admission because
OF the lack Of accommodation.
After q good deal of discussion as
to the best way to exhibit the young.
sters it was decided that the mothers
bring their youngsters to the hall at
4 o'clock and hold them all the
time" except during the weighing
process. So the ground floor OF the
hall was covered with mothers hold.
ing babies. and the galleries held the
friends of the mothers.
The jury consisted OF a number of
doctors, assisted by a nurse. The chief
points to be considered in judging
these babies were: Dimensions and
bulk. muscular tone, frmness Of flesh,
absence Of ricketts, and skin disease.
While the judges we're withdrawn
to decide the giving of the first prize
these little competitors, who com.
prised all types of baby folk, bright
and dark, pale and rosy, fat and fra.
gile, amused themselves billing and
cooling. When the prize was given,

SAVAGE WEAPONS OF WARFARE.
lnhuman Devices Invented to Make

Devices intended to make war so
terrible that every civilized nation on
earth would be only too glad to re-
frain from it have been offered fire.
~Quently of late to the war, the navy
and state department. The predilec-
ton to run to gas bombs manifests
itself again, as ii did fifteen years ago.
The main object of the use Of the
hy%drocyanic acid gas bomb is to cap
ture the ships of the enemy without
shooting the vessel to pieces or blow
ing them up or sinking them. It is
contended that IL a bomb charged with
that gas were exploded on the deck Of
a ship the fumes would instantly sink
to the innermost parts of the vessel.
1t Is known that a Whit of h~ydrocya-
mic acid gas inhaled will cause instant
death. Even after those who propose
such a scheme are informed by the
authorities that such a thing Is out Of
the question because it under
the head of poison, the, use Of which
Is interdicted by the universal regu-
lations Of war, they propose other
similar schemes time after time. One
of these is the use Of a gas that is in
itself not deadly. 1t renders those
who inhale its fumes unconscious for

On Tuesday. Nov. 10, President
Roosevelt sen to Congress his mes
sage explaining the reasons for the
gathering of the Senate and House of
Representatives In special session.
The document follows:
To the Senate aud House OF Repre-
, sentatives:
| have convened the Congress that
II may consider the legislation neces-
sary to put into operation the COM
mercial treaty with Cuba, which was
ratified by the Senate at its last ses-
sion and subsequently by the Cuban
government, | deem such legislation
demanded not only by our interest,
but by our honor. We cannot with
propriety abandon the course upon
which we have so wisely embarked.
When the acceptance CT the Plat
amendment was required from Cuba
by the action OF the Congress Of the
United States, this government there
by definitely committed itself to the
policy of treating Cuba as occupying
a unique position as regards this
country. 1t was provided that when
the island became a free and indie
pendent republic, she should stand In
such close relations with us as in GER
tain respects to come within our sys-
tenn of international policy. and it
necessarily followed that she must
also to a certain degree become in.
Guided within the lines of our eco
nomic policy. Situated as Cuba is, it
would not be possible for this country
to permit the strategic abuse of the
island by any foreign military power.
1t is for this reason that certain limi-
tations have been impressed upon her
financial policy and that naval sta
tions have been conceded by her to
the United States. The negotiations
as to the details of these naval sta
tons are on the eve of completion.
They are so situated as to prevent any
idea that there Is the intention ever

BUTTONS OF IVORY MILK.
Now Plant That Grows Them Has
Been Found in California.

In Central America there Is q fruit.
producing palm which has quite meta.
m~orphosod the button business and
formed the nucleus for one Of the most
important industries In the United
States.
The seed of this fruit contains n
milk that Is sweet to the taste and, ~
relished by natives. The milk, when
allowed to remain in the nut long
enough, becomes indurated, and turns
into n substance as brittle and hard
AZ the ivory from the elephants tusks.
The plant which produces these nuts
Is called the ivory plant. Most Of tho
buttons used in America, whether
called ivory, pearl, bone, horn or rub
her, come from this ivory plant.
The ivory plant Is one OF the won
ders Of the age. and Is re%warding Its
growers with vast fortunes. The nuts
are brought to the United States by
the shipload and hauled across tho
continent to the big button factories,
from which they issue forth in every
conceivable design, color, grade and
classification of button.
The ivory plant has heen recently
discovered in California. but the mt

ferior quality. and will not make good
buttons. But II il believed that with
proper cultivation the fruit will be as
valuable as that of Central America.

America would become an industry of
importance second only to the grow.

Cows Try to Kill Fox.

Edgar Palmer, Jr., and John Muir
ply of New Haven, VT, recently killed
a fox in a peculiar manner. While
working on a farm their attention was
attracted by the cows making a dis

found that the cows had cornered a
fox in a pile Of stones and were en-
deavoring to get at him. They rushed
to the scene and with stones and

Women Not Good Risks.

: Notwithstanding the fact that wom-
On reach a greater age than men. they
have proved a losing venture to life
insurance companies. Women are
not prone to the excuses. nor exposed
TO the rough weather. nor liable to
the accidents which shorten life. but
they are more likely to suffer from
cancer in middle life than are men;
and, too, women much more frequent
ly have intuitive premonition OF fail.

that intuitive fear take life insurance.
