When to Exercise.

When to exercise is an important
consideration. If the morning only is
available, the exercise should be light.
Particularly Is this the case If one is
engaged in any work. The supply Of
energy must not be drawn from at the
beginning Of the day. The afternoon
is perhaps the best time for exercise,
when one has gained strength from
the absorption of the morning and
noon meals. Those who exercise Wig
orously at night should eat mid
day dinner. Exercise should always
precede bathing, and not, as rule, fol-
low it. In this respect the ancient
Greeks showed great wisdom. Exer-
else and bathing they called the two
pillars Of strength. Exercise was Her.
cules and bathing Apollo. Both were
regarded with equal Importance, and
neither was complete without the
other.

Lawbreakers Seldom Branch Ont Into

Criminals seem to be the strongest
kind of fatalists," remarked Judge
Neff, of Pittsburg, recently. Judge
NeR is widely known as an authority
ON criminology, and his long expert
ence as prosecutor, judge and lawyer
has given him unusual opportunity of
studying scientifically the causes and
characteristics Of crime.
Il have noticed that when a Grim
inal is arrested after finishing one
sentence. the second charge is gen.
orally the result of a crime almost eX-
actly the same as the one which first
got him into trouble. 1t seems like a
strange kind OF fatality. I've known
instances where one criminal has been
arrested and punished five or six times
on charges exactly the same.
what makes them do it? I'm not
sure l can explain it satisfactorily, but
l know it to be the case. 1t has oc-
CURED to me, and possibly this is the
simplest explanation, that the reason
for criminal adhering strictly to one
line of work is the same as the fascina-
ton which holds gambler to a table,
although luck is against him.
Each failure or loss shows the vic
tim point which he has hitherto been
ignorant Of, and it is easy to convince
himself that next time he will escape
that mistake.
And so 1t goes. Ever the next time,
just one more chance, and then anoth-
er, ever confident that the luck must
change and that each turn of the wheel
leaves him just that much better
equipped and that much more likely
to win, finally. Then there is the des-
peration, the unconscious and gritty de-
termination to make a success of the
thing.
"If he fail, and is arrested, convicted
and punished, the process of the law
simply goes to show wherein his first
job was bunglingly and poorly carried
out. The first feeling Of resignation

him to grief.
1T is a well-known fact that ne

The very best of them will leave a

Severe Weather.

February is month OF severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
latitudes, February brings sudden
changes Of temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees
in a single night.
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole of North
America:
Ventilation.
The sleeping rooms should be well
ventilated, but so as to avoid direct
currents of air.
Bathing.
Those in vigorous health should take
a cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take a brisk dry-towel-
rub every morning.
Diet.
The diet should be a generous one,
including meat, and occasionally fresh
vegetables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during the
day.
Clothing.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept VAIN
and dry, day and night.
! Pe-ru-na.
When unavoidably exposed to cold
or wet, a few doses Of Peruna will avert
bad consequences.
Precaution.
When seized with a chill, or ever
slight chilliness, dose of Peruna
should be taken at once.

War on Cocaine in India.

The drug cocaine has laid such q
hold on the natives of India that the
authorities are making strenuous ef-
forts to prevent its unrestricted dis
tribution.
Within the last few years ship
ment Of cocaine worth lac of rupees
GS33, 800 was shipped to Calcutta, and
the excise department intervened, with
the result that the cocaine had to be
sent back to England.
The results of taking cocaine regu-
larry for any length of time are dread
full. The immediate effect is de-
ughtful feeling of languor, the ulti-
mate effect is the ruin Of mind and
body.
In Europe and America the drug is
usually taken by in. ection. but the In
dian found another method. Pan SUI
pari" was already an institution. Pan
supari' was kind of native chewing
gum. 1t consisted Of leaf smeared
with lime and rubbed with areca nut,
cloves and various aromatics. Then
the native added cocaine and found
"pan supari" an excellent means OF
taking the drug.
The abuse of cocaine by the natives
grew to such an alarming extent that
two years ago a measure was intro
duced prohibiting the sale except by
licensed persons. Native offenders
against the law have been prosecuted
III large numbers.
