GOOD HEALTH.

The requirements of health can be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
They are good air, good food, suitable
clothing, cleanliness. and exercise and
rest. The first two requirements af.
feet the blood and as the blood cir.
culates all over the body. including
the brain, every part is affected
Fresh air affects the purity of the
blood. The freshest air is out Of
doors, and it is the duty Of everyone
who wishes to be in good health tc
spend a certain amount of time in the
open air. Good food is not necessar
lily expensive food.
Exercise and rest should alternate
and balance each other 1t is quite
possible to take too much exercise
and this side of the question must be
guarded against as carefully as the
other. Women, as rule, do not resi-
sufficiently. Every woman should try
during the day to get few minutes
rest, even If it interferes with her reg

attend to the health and welfare of her
family if her own health suffers from
overwork and lack of rest. She
should follow her husbands example
Although he is busy all day long. HI

rule to rest during the evening in the
best way-namely, by change of EN-
ployment. -Gentlewoman.

AwosId Of eIu..ons.

A London doctor examined thu
teeth of several thousand people OF
the poorer CLASSES applying at his
hospital for Treatment. or all those
thousands of sets Of teeth he found
only one set in anything like good
condition-andl they were almost per
feet Yet theiF owner lived upon the
same kind of food and took the same
care of his teeth-that is, no care al
all. The explanation lay in the fact
that the man had a peculiar misfor
nation OF the jaws and throat which
made it impos sibie for him to get
food down except by chewing and
swallowing a little at time. And
further. this uhan's general condition
was far ahead OF tsat OF the others
examined.
No doubt wei do eat too much, and
too often. and too recklessly. But
worse than quantity or quality is the
almost universal failure to chew.
Chewing the food comes nearer to be-
ing the sovereign cure-al for every
kind OF eternal trouble than any other
one remedy. II is tlresome, 1t I'M

FASCINATION OF FRONTIER LIFE
Freedom Of the Plains Has an Attrac

It was nearing midnight when we

while we Jared forth to see his

Price had invited me around to his

as we entered it, saw at once it's

entrance was bar, gorgeous with
mirrors and cut glass, while down the
