Bedroom Climate.

A person at the age of sixty years
has spent about twenty years of his
life in his bedroom. Have you inves-
tigated the average sleeping room eli
mate? If you were sent as mission
ary to some distant pestilential spot
the climate of which was as unhealth-
full as that of the average bedroom.
would you not feel that you were risk
ing great deal for the sake of the
heathen?
On the tombstone of tens Of thou
sands of those who have died from
tuberculosis might appropriately be
Inscribed, Disease and death were

dealing bedroom climate"
To show that this is no exaggera-
ton it is only necessary to call at
tention to the fact that fully half of
the tubercula- patients placed in out
door consumptive hospitals make a
satisfactory recovery. If fresh air
will cure the disease, it is certainly a
wonderful preventive of it. 1t is not
more reasonable to deliberately
breathe impure air than it is to drink
impure water or to eat unhealthful
food or wear infected clothing.

THE SIMPLE LIFE.
Ways That Are Pleasant and Paths
That Are Peace.

1t Is the simple life that gives
length Of days, serenity Of mind and
body and tranquility OF soul.
Simple hopes and ambitions, bound
ed by the desire to do good to ones
neighbors, simple pleasures, habits,
food and drink.
Men die long before their time be-
cause they try to crowd too much into
their experiences-they climb too
high and fall too hard. A wise woman
writes Of the good that simple diet
has done her:
Il have been using Grape-Nu for
about six months. began rather spar
ingly, until acquired such a liking
for it that for the last three months
I have depended upon it almost en-
tirely for my diet, eating nothing else
whatever, but Grape-Nuts for break
fast and supper, and l believe l could
eat it for dinner with fruit and be sat
isfied without other food. and feel
much better and have more strength
to do my housework.
when l began the use Of Grape
were SO soft that was not able to do
any work. I weighed only 10S pounds
Nothing that l ate did me any good
I was going down hill rapidly, was
nervous and miserable, with no ambi-
tion for anything. My condition i'm
proved rapidly after I began to cat
Grape-Nuts food. It made me feel
like new woman; my muscles got
solid. my figure rounded out, my
weight increased to 1876 pounds in a
few weeks, my nerves grew steady
and my mind better and clearer. My
friends tel me they haven't seen me
look so we'll for years.
II consider Grape-Nuts the best
food on the market. and shall never go
back to meats and white bread again"

For six Months He Could Not Turn il
Bed-He Tells of a Remedy Which
Hns Given Perfect Relief.
The case of Mr.. Marston shows that
sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself to be dis
heartened. He was first stricken about a
year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any man could possibly stand.
Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol-
lowing account: - was attacked by
numbness or dull feeling just back of my
right hip. l didn't know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply
stiffness that would wear away in
short time. 1t didn't, however, and
soon the pain became so very bad that
every step was torture for me. When I
finally succeeded in getting home. it was
Just rs much as l could do to reach my
COON and get to bel.
1.-The doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said had sciatica.

bed if wanted to. 1t was impossible for
me to turn from one side to the other
The moment l attempted to move any
part Of my body, the pain became SO ex-
cruciating that would have to lie per
fectly motionless.
- suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then I dis
charged the doctor. and on the advice of

Pink Pills and began to take them. three

termined to give them n thorough trial.
1.-Two months after began to use
them was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and month later
was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. think DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine ever
used, and heartily recommend them to
anyone who suffers from sciatica."

Some Chinese Baths.

A traveller In Mongolia writes:
There are some hot springs on the
road about twenty miles north OF
Chingpeng. The place is named
Tangshan. The arrangements for
those anxious to benefit by their heal
ing properties are very primitive. A
row of twenty to thirty wooden boxes
the size of an ordinary packing case
is ranged beside the road. In these
sit bathers of every age and both
sexes, with their heads protruding.
Attendants with buckets continually
refill the boxes from the springs. For
less luxurious bathers there is accom-.
modation in pool which has been
dug out close by. In this they squat.
scooping up the water and pouring It
over their heads with brass basins. It
is curious to reflect that establish
ments like Homburg and Aix-les-Bains
have had their origin in such begin
nings."

1ender.Hearted Savaoes.

One of the most anomalous features
of our Christian civilization is the
slaughter house, especially the abat-
toirs of our great cities. where veri-
table torrents of blood perpetually
flow, the ebbing life of millions of in

Indians are not noted for being
over-sensitive; and particularly de-
spise any exhibition of weakness The
interior of slaughter-house, however,
is said to have proved too much for
their powers of self-control. The Chi

Saved by a Horse,

That the stable of John V. Hubbard
of New Brunswick was not entirely
destroyed by fire with it's thirty horses
is due to the remarkable intelligence
displayed by an old gray horse, known
as Ben. says Dumb Animals. The an
imal smelled smoke, broke away from
his manger. went to the room in which
George Witt. a groom, was sleeping,
and kicked on the door until Witt made
his appearance and raised an alarm.
Several neighbors responded promptly
The fire. which was in the office, was
quickly extinguished. Ben is the
hero of the stable.

In Harmony with Nature.

Modern science as we'll as eIperi-
ence has shown that contact with nat
ural surroundings, especially fresh air.
sunshine and the ozoning emanations
from growing plants, has marvellous
health-imparting virtues. In these
natural agencies is active the power
which created and maintains all things
and which is constantly communicated
to all living things as the essential
condition of continued life. The more
closely man comes to Nature, the
more deeply he may drink from the
fountain of life and healing. To live
in harmony with Nature in the fullest
and truest sense is to live in har-
mony with God; and to live in divine
harmony is to be happy.

The number of deaths due to tuber-

a few years at most, nothing was done
to reduce the mortality from tuber-
culosis.
Now, however. the attention of the
world. the common people and the
health authorities, has been called to
its durability and preventability.
The causes, the modes of scatter

is on to wipe out this white terror"
The children suffer from tubercu-
losis of the bones, the bowels and

is frequently found in early life and is
uniformly fatal. Only by careful at.

can the rising generation be made i'm

terculOsis.

babies born die before they reach the

Cause and Cure of Gastric catarrh.

Cause and Cure Of Gastric catarrh.
Chronic congestion of the stomach,
known as gastric catarrh. is usually
caused by one of the following errors,
or by all of them put together: Eat
ing too much or too fast; swallowing
food insufficiently masticated; the
use of such coarse foods as cabbage,
green's, etc; mustard, peppersauce,
ginger and other condiments and
spices; pastry containing animal fats;
free fats, which lodge in the stomach
and remain there long time; pork,
griddle cakes and burned fats-these
are the things that produce gastric
catarrh.
The first and most necessary step
in the treatment of this disease is to
remove the cause OF the trouble. We
may induce activity of the skin by
hot applications followed by cold or
hot bath followed by short applica-
tion of cold; lamentations followed
by a short cold application to the
stomach. These treatments are use
full, but the most important factor is
the regulation of the diet. A fruit
diet is best, for the reason that in gas
trio catarrh there is a great accumula-
tion of germs, which are destroyed by
fruit Juice. A well-prepared diet Of
toasted bread, zwieback, granose bis
cult, ETC., is also useful in these
cases.

The uncertainty ard suspense
which has heretofore attached 10 the
light and water question passed ont of
existence when the town council last
Tuesday passed ordinances extending
or renewing the franchises under
which the Glenwood Light and Water
company has been operating The
franchise is renewed under new con-
tract which greatly reduces the rates
charged for both lights and water and
aside from this several minor conces
sions have been made by the company
While there are some who honestly
believe lower schedule of rates
should have been secured, it is known
that the committee from the town
council secured the very best rate they
could possibly obtain and it is lso
true that the knockers who were most
bitterly opposed to the schedule agreed
to could not have secured AS satisfac-
tory reduction in dozen years. 1t
ought also to be evident to all who
have watched the growth and pros.
perity of Glenwood and noted the
elements that have contributed to her
success that prolonged friction with
the company which has been the
prime and almost exclusive factor in
making Glenwood the beautiful spot
she is today would be fatal to onr flu
