To Be Healtby BE PracticaI.

Theoretically, every adult person of
any intelligence wishes to- be strong
and healthy. Practically, majority of
them wish nothing of the sort. They
would like to be well enough, but are
not willing to pay the price, though 1t
really costs nothing. When man gets
out of health he usually wants to get
something to patch him up" so that
he can continue the foolish things
which have caused his bad condition;
hence the almost universal resort to
drug treatment instead of the natural
means of restoring and maintaining
health and strength. If a man is really
desirous Of being naturally sound and
healthy he will try to study out the
means of becoming so. These means
are all included in the seven founda-
ton principles of practical hygiene
namely, exercise, rest, air, light, food,
drink and bathing.-Cooking Club.

''The charge ag'in ye," the police JUS

got TO say?"
'As to that" replied the prisoner, a
seedy looking man who appeared to
have seen better days, ''if by the term
of burglary you mean the offense
which, according to English law and
practice for centuries, has been clearly
defined as house breaking by night,
the charge is palpably ridiculous. The
policeman alleges that he detected me
in the act of breaking into a house yes
terday afternoon in broad daylight. If,
on the other hand, the term is made to
cover the same offense when committed
by day, which, believe, is your absurd

ality, Counts at Last.
Il got another glimpse of the eternal
feminine recently" says a Washington
physician, "and 1 shall never again ex-
press surprise that men of admitted in
tellect should marry women who are
not their mental equals. Among my
patients for the last few weeks-in
fact, until he died-was a man of re-
markable ability and character. The
case had been in the hands of another
doctor, and when l took charge 1 saw
that there was little hope of recovery.
The illness was complicated and, l will
confess, difficult of diagnosis, and it
was not until shortly before the fatal
termination that all the symptoms de-
veloped
"The patients wife was a little wo-
man whom one could best describe by
the term sweet 1 never saw greater
devotion displayed in the sick room.
Her anxiety was pathetic, her watch
ful care unceasing, and 1 grew to look
up to her. But never could explain to
her just what was the matter with her
husband, although after 1 really found
out l made the most perspiring efforts
to do so.
How is he today, doctorT she
would say in the most pathetic fashion.
The first time she put the query 1 went
into details by way Of explanation.
Z" The danger from pneumonia has
diminished to a certain extent said,
but from the heart action notice GER
tain symptoms of carditis which give
very little grounds for hope Then I
would continue to explain the trend of
the disease so simply, thought, that a
child could understand it. When l con-
cluded she nodded intelligently and
said in manner so pathetically sweet
that my heart went out to her:
I understand. But, doctor, how do
you think he is?
81 groaned inwardly and made some
reply, holding out little hope, and new
er again attempted to go into detail.
But as watched her during the trying
days until the end came 1 forgot all
about her failure to comprehend my
explanation. 1 forgot everything, in
fact, except that 1 was witness of
that wonderful depth of affection OF
which the feminine nature alone is ca
pable, and it would have made no diff
ference to me if she had not been able
to say her alphabet. 1 honored her as
my equal if not my superior. Wash

WHAT is WEALTH?
Health and Ability to Work Better

Than Money and Worry.
Does wealth consist in money, houses,
lands, bank stocks, railroad bonds, etc,
alone? We think not. The young man
starting in life with no money. but
with good digestion, good sleep, good
health and ability to work in some
profitable employment, has what the
aged capitalist would be glad to ex-
change all his millions for
What compensation is money for
sleepless nights and painful days or
the misconduct of dissipated children?
Which brings the greater happiness,
the glitter, show, jealousies and falsity
of fashionable life or the heartfelt
friendships which prevail so largely
in the homes of the industrious poor?
In how many of the palaces of our mil
lionaires will you find greater happi-
ness in the parlor than in the kitchen?
How many millionaires will tell you
that they are happier now than when
starting in life without a dollar?
On the top of mountains we find

Boston the Literary Center.

The assertion that Boston was the lit

literature acquired shelf of its own in
the library of the race Is hardly open
to dispute. The production of books
possessing something like permanence
is perhaps the most characteristic mark
Of center to which the term Literary"

test Of half century, and, with a few

After the old gentleman had invited

admitted after a few minutes he

THINGS NOT TO DO.

To contradict your friends when they
are speaking.
To say smart things which may hurt

1t is bad to make remarks about the

To talk about things which only in

To grumble about your home and rel

To speak disrespectfully to any one
older than yourself.
To be rude to those who serve you
either in shop or at home.
To dress shabbily in the morning be-
cause no one will see you.
To think first of your own pleasure
when you are giving party.
To refuse ungraciousIy when some

The Sedan Chair.

The sedan chair is named after Sc
dan, the town where 1t was first used.
The earliest mention of it in England
occurs in 1851. Early in the following
century the Duke Of Buckingham
caused much indignation by its use in
London. People were exasperated at
that nobleman employing his fellow
men to take the place Of horses to car
ry him. Prince Charles brought from
Spain in 1923 three curiously wrought
sedans, two of which he gave to the
Duke of Buckingham. A few weeks
after their Introduction Massinger pro

In 1t he thus adverts to the ladies':
