DIRT, DISEASE AND DEATH.
Pure Air and Clearly Habits Are e.
sential to the Preservation
Of the Health.

Inc average person, as rule, is care
less regarding precautions to insure
health. He has heard so much about
germs and queer things that get into
his food and drink that he is rather in
clined to argue, says the Philadelphia In
Guirer, that, as the world has gone along
its way for great many centuries with
out special knowledge of such matters.
there is no particular reason why he
should bother himself at this late day.
There may be typhoid in his drinking
water and his milk, and death germs
may be all around him, but he has never
had typhoid himself, and has been proof
against tuberculosis, therefore, why get
excited? Maybe it is all false alarm
anyway
But it is not Modern science is re-
vealing a great many secrets, and when
men and women learn how to abide by
them most of the ills to which flesh is
now heir will be avoided. After all,
the best precaution against disease is a
vigorous body, built up on fresh air.
Give the body plenty of exercise in pure
air, and there is foundation which is
much more capable Of repelling disease
than when the system is weak.
But the air must be pure-not laden
with dirt and dust, carrying disease
germs that are sure to find Judgment
somewhere, and the crusade which the
Society for the Prevention OF Tubercu-
losis is engaged in, that of impressing
upon the people and the civic authorities
the necessity for clean streets and clean
street cars, cannot be commended too
highly.

That is. he wanted to change from

IT PUZZLED THE EXPERT.
Customs Official Knits Brow and
Frowns Darkly Over Classifica-

The customs official was greatly pug
zled. He knitted his brow and frowned
darkly. He even tapped his foot ner-
vously on the polished floor, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
What seems to be the difIiculty?" in.
quired sympathetic subordinate.
The chief turned to him with a trou-
bled stare.
I'm bothered" he growled. "I'm
badly stumped. And yet am the very
man who classified frogs legs as dressed
poultry and admitted colt from Can.
ada as household furniture -
And what's the question now?" the
subordinate respectfully asked.
The chief ran his hand through his
matted hair.

Careless Speech.

Carelessness in speech often causes
the heart to bleed and ache. Unthought-
eddy we very often say things we do not
mean, but like barbed arrow they car
~ their sting along with them and pierce
the heart of those for whom they were
not intended. We cannot guard our con-
versation too closely. A harsh word
spoken at a, fateful moment may turn
some one away from God, or 1t may
cause him to lose faith in mankind.
There Is no person more to be pitied
than the one who has lost faith in the
human race The person in this condi-
ton has dark future. You may play
great part in placing him In this cDndi-
ton by your careless words. It Is not
right for you to cause unnecessary pain.
Therefore you cannot guard your con-
versation too closely Detroit Free
