Mhnt Chemistry May Do.

1t has been said thatsa century is the
Natural duration of the human body;
that it decays earlier because it does
not receive proper care in health and
disease. In regard to this latter, here
is a suggestion from a man who pro-
tests against 50 much research in cleo
tricity to the neglect of chemistry. He
says there are seventy-tWo elements
of matter capable of entering into an
infinity of combinations and concludes
therefore that a form of matter must
be capable of existence, and must
therefore be within the power of chem
ical research to discover and prepare,
which will possess any assignable or
conceivable potency or influence over
any form or species of matter, dead or
living" If this be true, then it is pos
sible to chemistry to find substances
which will neutraliZe all the pOisOns
generated by disease germs and kill
disease the moment it is discovered

niet For consumntives.

You have to eat at a Sanitarium for
consumptives, hungry or not. There
are no big gorges to overwork the
stomach, but there are six meals a day
pf moderate size Some patients can
eat full meals and then swallow thir-
ty-six raw eggs a day. The aim of the
treatment in these sanitaria is to get
the sick man to drink three quarts of
milk and eat a dozen raw eggs day
in addition to his regular meals of sim
pie food.
And you must eat meat and plenty
of it. Don't cut the fat off. The cow
got most of the good out of the lean in
her lifetime The fat is what will do
you good. All that there is to cod
liver oil that makes it worth while is
that it is a fat easy to assimilate. Ba-
con fat is nearly as easy to digest and
about 500 times as easy to take.
Fruits and salads you may eat mere
~ to amuse yourself and pass the
time. But you are wasting stomach
room on them. Milk, eggs, meat and
hard breads for you if you are to get
well. Not a great deal at a time, but

A Mean Husband.

81 think old KreeZus has the queer
est way of teasing his wife l ever
heard of"
Il thought he was fond of her"
HE is, but he likes to get a joke on
her. You know she is sensitive about
her age. Well, he has let everybody
know that when they were married he
gave her a magnificent necklace of dia-
monds, each diamond representing a
year of her age, and he adds one to
the string every time she has a birth
day. Imagine how the poor woman is
torn between her desire to display the
necklace and the fear that when she
wears it everybody will be counting
the diamonds"

The Korean is omnivOrOus. Birds of

TOuckiness,

There is a disease called "touchi-
ness" a disease which, in spite Of its
innocent name, is one Of the gravest
sources of restlessness in the world.
Loneliness, when it becomes chronic,
Is a morbid condition of the inward
disposition. 1t is self love infamed
to the acute point. The cure is to shift
the yoke to some other place; to let
men and things touch us through some
new and perhaps as yet unused part
Of our nature; to become meek and
lowly in heart while the old nature Is
becoming numb from want of USE

Henry Wstterson, in a recent
issue OF the Courier Journal,
commenting on Judge Parker's
speech OF acceptance, says it will
not only satisfy but delight low
ers of constitutional democracy.
Continuing, he says:
1t is the voice OF one crying in
the wilderness of Capitalization,
imperialism and a~utocracy, into
which we have houndered, the
clear call to the true faith OF the
popular sovereignty on which
the Republic was founded, BY
which it has been maintained
aud through which it must he
perpetuated. 1t is the voice ot
a Democrat, OF a statesman, of q
leader, who, at a crisis when
such service seemed most lackipo
aud was most needed, has risen
up to stay the worship oil strange
gods and to conduct the people
back to the true altar OF free
government under the Constitu-
ton.
Touching on Judge Parker's
pledge not to be a candidate for
denomination in case of election,
Mr.. Watterson says.
II Judge Parker had never
opened his lips to say more than
this he would have established a
strong claim to the confidence OF
the American people, tor more
than anything else, save a return
to the Government of the Con
stltution, we need a DEVELOPMENT
OF the Constitution limiting the
tenure OF such officials as the
PRESIDENT to Que term. No man
in his heart OF hearts can better
realize this than he who is Judge
Parkef's opponent in the present
campaign.
