because while he may not yet have any positive

secret Of good healf' good blood strong nerves. Is
TO have a stomach which will promptly and thor

the body Is entirely the product of digestion and

A loosely woven woollen garment is more
healthful and warm than tightly woven
one That Is why shrunken woollen under
clothing is valueiess. and underclothing of
this material should never be ironed, but
shaken dry. The little downy fbers that
give a woolly surface and are sanitary are
hattened by ironing. One often sees cotton
undertaking lauded as being warm and
healthful as woollen. 1t never can be so,
because of the rapid evaporation of the
moisture. Silk has been especially praised
for retaining the electricity Of the body,
but, then, on the other hand, it keeps the
electricity of the air out. which neutralizes
the effect. In reality, cotton linen and silk
are about equal in sanitary value for I'M

you had better tell ,he truth" where
upon the prisoner made confession,
II was held that the confession was in
voluntary. and ii was error to admit
II IN evidence and to submit TO the
jury the question whether or not IL
was voluntary, Under the law. as
properly administered, confession, If
forced, cannot be used against per-
son charged with the commission Of
crime. The sweatbox method of OBJ
tanning confessions TO be used against
the parties making them is not sane

that words of exhortation to confess

which they employ only Europeans,
use their own stamps, and watch their
