How do You Eat?

It Is safe to say that modern cook
ing develops business for both the sa-
loonkeeper and the undertaken. When
a boy eats mustard plasters in the
form of food that is almost saturated
with fiery spices and irritating condi-
ments. thirst is created that nothing
but liquor or cigarets will satisfy. Man
is admonished to "eat for strength.
and not for drunkenness" but in these
days anything that will tickle the four
square inches of taste surface is con-
sidered good food. although 1t may
contain scarcely any of the elements
that nature requires to replace broken
down tissues and to rebuild the worn
out brain. AS consequence. the vi
tality and physical resistance soon
reach such low ebb that the individ-
ual falls an easy prey to any microbe
with which he may chance to come In
contact.

Some "pon'ts" About Dress.

Don't dress the neck too warm when
going out in cold weather. A little
extra protection Is required for the
ears. but 1t Is not necessary to muble
up the neck with thick furs to protect
the ears. Warm wrappings about the
neck cause the skin of the neck TO
become moistened with perspiration.
When the wrappings are removed in
doors. the slow cooling which takes
place In consequence of the evapora-
tion chills tho part. and may produce
sore throat or nasal catarrh.
Don't wear rubbers indoors. nor out
of doors. except when 1t is necessary
to prevent wetting the feet. Rubbers.
being impervious to air. prevent evap-
Grafton. SO that the perspiration is re-
tanned. and the shoes and stockings
beco damp from the perspiration.
When the rubbers are removed, evap-
Grafton chills the feet, the same as II
they had been wet by the rain or by
walking on a wet pavement. On re-
moving the rubbers after they have
teen worn for some time 1t is a good
precaution to remove the shoes and
stockings and put on dry ones. II this
cannot be conveniently done care
should be taken to keep the feet warm
until the shoes are dry. The rubbers
should be dried before wearing again.

Home Sanitariums.

In New York, city consumptives are
building little huts on the tops of the
houses, and are recovering Outside
New York. Boston. and other large
cities, tent colonies. where consump-
tives can live out of doors, are being
established. Every city ought to have
outside 1t a camp where tubercular
patients can live and get well. The air
inside the city is not so good as 1t
is outside; but on the tops of the
houses. where the sun can shine. it
is great deal better than 1t is in the

The London Times,

The Times is still easily the most
authoritative journal not only in Eng
land, but In the world, and 1t gives the
cue to all the provincial organs that
share its views. The Times. indeed, is
not a newspaper: IT is the Times, 1t Is
an institution, a necessity. as much a
part of the unchallenged order of
things as the monarchy Itself. That
the Times is sometimes heavy. that 1t
is often prejudiced and intolerant, es-
pecially on lush affairs, is undeniable; !;
but its unrf%a!ed foreign service. the
excellence and authority Of its special
articles from all countries and on all
political subjects, and its magnlficence
in throwing open its correspondence
columns to arguments on all sides of
every public question. more than jus.
tify its reputation and more than ex-
plain its position and influence. 1t
comes nearer to being national forum
than any journal in the world.-Syd-
ney Brooks in Harper's Weekly.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH
1T WILL DO WONDERFUL THINGS
President Of Wireless Telegraph Com
pany Tells Denver People What
II Expects to Accomplish.

In n recent speech before the Denver
Real Estate Exchange, Abraham
White, president of the De Forest
Wireless Telegraph Company, told
what his system expects to do.
wireless telegraphy has come .
stay. 1t is a great aid to commerce,
and its influence in the development OF
trades as well as its great life anu
property-saving feature, cannot be too
strongly emphasized. The government
of the United States has already recoS.
nized the merits of the De Forest sys.
TEN and has installed 1t on all their
battleships. The government is just
beginning to learn its merits on land,
but several shore stations and naval
bases have been equipped with wire
less apparatus. Foreign countries have
set the seal of approval on this great
enterprise and 1t is thought that in the
near future IL will be internationally
used.
Three stations will be erected in
Denver near the suburbs, and one sta
tion on the summit of Pixies Peak. Ap-
paratus has been sent for and some of
1t has already arrived, so we can prom
ise, truthfully, that work OF erection
will soon be commenced. One OF the
Denver stations will be situated near
Slty park anu pldns ndNe peoh VI D." a.
for its instant erection as soon as the
apparatus arrives. No definite loca-
ton has been decided upon for the
other two. but in all probabilities one
of them will be situated on one OF Den
4 ver's highest buildings.
Perhaps the greatest benefciaries
of the new industry will lie the news
papers of the country. AT the least
they will be the first to benefit mater
tally, for the new system has been
proven much cheaper that the old
wired telegraph. l will even offer
tine prediction that in a short time -
cry weekly paper in the country will
| become a daily with complete reports
of not only routine telegraph news, but
also special reports, and all through
the use of our company. The cost OF
such n service will be so reasonable
that II will be within easy reach of all.
From one transmitting station in
Denver, wireless news can be sent sim.
ultaneously to hundreds of thousands
| of different points, scattered all over
the country. The transmitting ma
chine can be SO operated that any
number Of aerograms can be trans
mitted, containing different matter at
the same time. These are only few
Of the wonders of the new discovery.
Wireless signal devices on trains Will
| to a great extent solve the great prob.
lem of preventing accidents and col
lisions. Its life-saving merits on the
sea are known full well, but there can
not be too much said Oh the life and
property saving merits on land"

Natural Cure for tuberculosis.


A Swedish doctor some fourteen or
fifteen years ago succeeded. by a very
crude method. in curing patients who
have been given up to die. His prac-
tice was first of all to rub the patient
three times day with a towel wet
in very cold water. A little later he
put the patient in a tub of water at
about 60 degrees. rubbing him vigor-
ously for about minute, and later as
the patient became better able to
endure the cold water. he was plunged
into a tub full of ice water. This was
done three times a day. Think Of
those poor consumptives! Neverthe-
less they got we'll. The cold water.
with the rubbing following, produced
such a powerful reaction that the
whole body was stimulated to in
creased vital activity and recovery iol.
lowed.
Here Is another case: A young man
in New York who was getting ready
to go to the Klondike went into prac-
tice. to convince his friends that he
would not freeze to death. Out of a
large buffalo robe he made bag,
pitched tent in the back yard and
slept In the tent. in the buffalo bag, all
the winter, without suffering any in
Jury from the cold.

COYOTES VS.. SAGE CHICKENS.
Dispute As to Which Kills Wyoming
Grasshoppers.


A Cheyenne dispatch says that the
dispute which has been in progress in
Wyoming for several weeks as to
whether sage chickens eat grasshop-
pers, has brought out rather sur
prising statement on the part of Sid
Winship of Sundance, Wyoming, as to
the reason for the increase of grass
hoppers in certain sections of the
state.
Winship says'that the killing OF sage
chickens has had nothing to do with
the increase of grasshoppers. but that
the killing of coyotes has been re
sponsible for the phenomenon. He
states that coyotes eat an enormous
number of grasshoppers during the
warm months, and that the placing OF
a bounty on coyotes is equivalent to
the placing of premium on grasshop-
pers. Frequently he has opened the
stomachs of coyotes and found them
filled with thousands Of grasshoppers
which the sly beasts had stalked and
uevoured.
The DO Sage Chickens Eat Grass
hoppers" dispute was started by bill
introduced In the Legislature to pro
tect sage chickens for period OF
years, the author of the bill maintain
ing that the killing of sage chickens in
some sections had resulted in such
an enormous increase in grasshoppers
that the range was being destroyed.
Sportsmen objected to entirely doing
away with the open season on chick,
ems, and since the bill was introduced
the dispute has extended from one end
of the state to the other. many promi'
nent men going on record one one side
of the question or the other.

Tent Life Cures Consumption.

A doctor in Denver some time ago
made some experiments with consump-
tives. A tent colony was established
n little way out of Denver, and the
patients progressed fairly well during
the first part of the winter. But by
and by there was a blizzard. and the
thermometer went down to 20 degrees
below zero. and then they began to
improve very fast. One woman did
not seem to improve at all until the
temperature reached this mark. and
then she improved rapidly. She had
had no appetite, but that 20 degrees
below zero weather gave her an appe-
tite. which was an indication that the
body was beginning to work naturally.
that the assimilative processes were
being resumed. and from that time she
kept on improving.

Child Labor In Factories.

The physician in attendance at

a careful inquiry into the history OF

guests. He has found that large
proportion of the tramps give history
of having been employed in factories

boyhood. Our artificial modern life
is making multitudes of human wrecks.

the homeless, friendless, disheartened

February is n month of severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
latitudcs, February brings sudden
changes of temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees
in n single night.
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole of North
America:
KsnfifAfion.
The sleeping rooms should be we'll
ventilated, bnt so as to avoid direct
currents of air.
BsfhiDR.
Those in vigorous health should take
n cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take q; brisl, dry-towel-
rub every morning.
Diet.
The diet should be generous one,
including meat, and occasionally fresh
vegetables.
Sgnshine.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during
the day.
CIofhing.
The head should be kept cool ut all
times. The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
Pe-ru-nA.
When unavoidably exposed to cold or
wet, n few doses Of Peruna viii avert
bad consequences.
prscsutkoa.
When seized with a chill, or even
slight chilliness, n dose of Peruna
should be taken at once.

A National Error.

Our cities are growing so rapidly
that only about one-half Of our popula-

Gould. speaking of the wrong of shut
ting men and women up In houses and
forcing them into sedentary occupa-
tions. says: There is enough land and
opportunity. If both were allowed and
utilized. to give every human being
livelihood that will permit life OF a
normal length" He adds. that with
proper hygienic living. especially in
youth. and with right lung expansion
and development. no person should

1ributs to Power Of Press.

Senator Money tells a story of the
tribute Mississippi minister recently
paid to the press. The town in which
his parish was located had been visit
ed within short srace of time by
several catastrophes. all of which,
with narrowing details, had been duly
exploited in the local papers. The
clergyman was moved to make the
misfortunes of his townsmen subject
of prayer. He knelt in the presence
of his congregation and began fervent-
": "oh. Lord. doubtless thou hast
learned through the papers of our
recent and grave Affections"

477.090.158. The next religious faith in
point of number is Confucinnism
