arithmetician, but also a mystic. He
was deeply convinced of the magic
properties of the number nine, and
was perpetually strolling out to the
groves of Academia to bother poor old
Plato with his nonsensical ideas about
what he called his ''lucky number"
But Plato devised way of getting
rid of him. When the seer one day
proposed to inflict on him a lengthy
disquisition on his favorite topic, the
philosopher cut him short with the
remark, Look here, old chappie"
Chat is the nearest translation of the
original Greek term of familiarity,
when you can bring me the solution
of this little mystery of the three
mines l shall be happy to listen to
your treatise, and, in fact, record 1t
on my monograph for the benefit of
posterity."
Plato then showed, in the manner
depicted In our illustration, that three
mines may be arranged so as to repre-
sent the number eleven, by putting
them into the form of fraction. The
puzziS ne Vneu pTOpOunueu was, TO so
arrange the three mines that they will
represent the number twenty.
1t is recorded of the old crank that,
after working hard at the problem for
nine years, he one day, at nine O'Clock
on the morning of the ninth day of
the ninth month, fell down nine steps,
knocked out nine teeth and expired in
nine minutes. 1t will be remembered
that nine was his lucky number. 1t
was evidently also Plato's.
In solving the above little puzzle,
only the most elementary arithmetical
signs are necessary. Though the an
swer is absurdly simple when you see
it, many readers will have no little
difficulty In. discovering it. Take your
pencil and see If you can arrange the

Good News for All.

Bradford, Tenn, Oct. 23d.-(Spe-

ney Trouble to be the father OF so
many diseases that news of discov-
cry of sure cure for 1t cannot fail
to be welcomed all over the country
And according to Mr.. ]. A. Davis of
this place just such a cure is found in
Oodd's Kidney Pills. Mr.. Davis says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are all that is
claimed for them. They have done me
more good than anything have ever
taken. I had Kidney Trouble very
bad and after taking a few boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills I am completely
cured. I cannot praise them too
much"
Kidney Complaint develops into
Bright's Disease, Dropsy, Diabetes,
Rheumatism and other painful and
salal diseases. The safeguard is to
cure your kidneys with Dodd's Kidney
Pills when they show the first symp-
tom of disease.

Out Of Door Nurseries.

One of New York's most famous
specialists for children has lately
made plea for roof Fairgrounds.
On one of the roof Fairgrounds estab-
lished for the use of the children of
the poor, the average attendance is
1000 per night, Three or four teach
ers maintain order and there are
bands for music and dancing.
In the city the roof can be utilized
for an outdoor nursery, which will
greatly promote the health and hap
piness of the children. The roof
should be foored over for certain
space, and partitions built to protect
the children from the wind, and rail-
ings or fences put up to keep them
from falling of Awnings are neces-
sary to protect them from too much
sun and from rain.
Here the children can play nearly
every day, winter or summer. In
these private outdoor nurseries the
mother can keep an eye on the child

sirable conditions and contacts of the
city streets and parks.

PRACTICAL HYGIENE
The Proper Care of the Body

Breeding Ground for tuberculosis.
A New York physician has given
forcible description of the three great
enemies of the woman Of the tene-
ment, naming them as Ignorance, al
cohol and tuberculosis.
IF | should be asked" he saws
what conditions are most conducive
to the propagation of tuberculosis
and especially pulmonary consump-
ton, I would have to reply: The
conditions that prevail in the old
fashioned tenement houses as they
still exist by the thousand in this
and other large cities. In these tene-
ments there are not only far greater
number of consumptives than in the
same area elsewhere, but the proper
ton is actually greater per number of
Inhabitants. Thus they not only con-
tain countless centers of infection for
old and young, but these dwellings,
with their bad air, darkness and filth
make cure of the disease impossible
and lingering death for all those in
fected by the germ of tuberculosis a
certainty.
IF any one thinks me an alarmist
let him glance at the charts prepared
by the tenement house commission
There he will see that there are
houses in which can be counted as
many as twenty consecutive cases of
tuberculosis during four years. This
number represents, however, only the
cases reported to the board of health.
But how many of the moderately ad-
vanced cases are made known to
either physician or board of health?
l venture to say those not reported
are more numerous than the reported
ones.
Darkness, filth and dampness are
favorable to the growth of the bacilli
of tuberculosis, and these conditions
prevail in the tenements.
"The crowded quarters in which our
tenement population lives facilitates
the propagation of tuberculous dis
eases to truly alarming extent. To
have six and sometimes ten people
living in three rooms, of which only
one receives direct light and air, is
nothing unusual Should one of the
members be tuberculous and careless
in the disposal of his sputum, it is
evident that the majority of the mem
bers of such family are in the great
est danger of contracting the dis
ease"

The Outdoor gymnasium.

The nucleus of the out door gym.
nasium is the swimming pool. Swim
ming was meant to be not merely an
occasional and precarious pleasure
but an inseparable accompaniment of
bathing, cleanliness being achieved
incidentally. A swimming pool, there
fore, is a fundamental need for those
who have not access to a convenient
stream or body of water suitable for
this purpose. Those accustomed tc
the delightfully."- invigorating effects of
the morning swim consider it as much
of necessity as their breakfast, OF
even more.
Most artificial swimming pools are
unfortunately built indoors. An in
door pool not only lacks the fascinat.
ion of the outdoor adaptation of "the
old swimin' hole" but it also robs one
of the natural Accomplishments of out.
door bathing-fresh air and sunshine
Bathers often spend considerable
time lying about on the banks of the
stream or on the sandy beach, alter
nately basking in the rays of the sun
and dipping beneath the cooling
waves. Powerful impressions are
made upon the body by the contact OF
the skin with the cool outdoor air
and sunshine.
The outdoor gymnasium provides
a combination of the healing agencies
of nature, abundance of pure air for
breathing, facilities for exercise, sun
baths, air bath, earth baths, and water
baths. Here one can enjoy all the
pleasure and obtain all the benefits
and at the same time escape the pub
licity of sea or river bathing.
Public outdoor gymnasiums are pro
vided in some of the large cities, and
are built by sanitariums, hotels, fac.
tories, etc. They should be intro
duced into all hospitals and children's
homes, and no public institution
should be considered complete with.
out one. In the heart of our large
cities, conducted in connection with
the parks. they would be powerful

ing influences of city life.
