Oil Rubbing.

Clothing exposes us to great dam
gers. We wear too many clothes.
We dress too warmly so the skin be-
comes relaxed, and loses the power to
take care of itself, and this is the rea-
son oil rubbing is necessary. The
simple removal of thin layer of oil
by hot bath may be sufficient to
cause man to take cold, so this must
be replaced by special oilins, or
some other treatment, in cold wealth
er.
People who are very susceptible to
cold, should be rubbed with oil after
each bath. Oil rubbing is especially
needed in cases in which the skin is
dry, through deficient activity Of the
oil glands of the skin. Great care,
however should be taken to avoid too
vigorous rubbing in the application of
the oil, as sweating is very easily pro-
duced, to the disadvantage of the pa
tient. In the treatment of infants and
children, a marked and most favor
able effect upon nutrition is produced
BIZ oil rubbing. Application of oil
after cold baths encourages reaction.
In most cases of chronic dyspepsia
when accompanied by emaciation, in
diabetes, and in most cases in which
malnutrition with dryness of the skin
is a prominent feature, oil rubbing is
a valuable curative agency.

or any kind of berries and put into a
stewpan with small amount of

casionally. Strain first through sieve
and then through cheese cloth. Add
one-third sugar to two-thirds juice and
boil brislily for fifteen minutes. Put

either hot or cold water, to suit the
taste.
Macaroni al Gratn-Break enough
macaroni into inch lengths to fill a

cupful of cottage cheese, one table
spoonful of cracker crumbs, rolled
fine, one fourth cup of cream and one
half teaspoonful of salt Put in an
oiled graniteware dish and bake until

Grape Fruit.-Chill the fruit; then
cut it crosswise, providing half for
each person. Loosen the sections
from the skin and remove the center
white membrant. Fill the cavities

Cost Of Tuberculosis.

DR.. Harmon Biggs of New York
american Medicine). latter careful
estimation, places the annual expense
of tuberculosis to the people OF the
United States at 100000. 100000. He
first calculates the loss to New York
city by putting value Of $1,000 upon
each life at the average at which
deaths from tuberculosis occur. This
gives a total value of the lives lost
annually of $1,000, 100000.
But this is not all. For at least nine
months prior to death these patients
cannot work, and the loss of service
at one dollar day, together with food,
nursing, medicines, attendance, ETC.,
at one and one-half dollars day. re-
suits in a further loss of $4,000, 100000,
making a yearly loss to the munici-
pality of s23 900, 100000 For the whole
country the 10000 deaths from tuber-
culosis represent in the same way a
loss of 100000.
DR.. Biggs also states that the total
expenditure in the city of New York
for the care of tuberculous patients is
not at present over 100000 a year;
that is, it does not exceed two per cent
of the actual loss by death, etc. IF
this annual expenditure were doubled
or trebled it would mean a saving OF
several thousand lives annually, to say
nothing of the enormous saving in suf-
fering." Further evidence of this is
afforded by the fact that in the last
twenty years the tota! number OF
deaths from tuberculosis in New York
has decreased instead Of increasing,
although there has been an increase
of 20 per cent in the general popula-
ton.

Frequency of Tuberculosis.

From the Massachusetts Medical
Journal we abstract the following: At
the second annual American Congress
on tuberculosis held in New York in
1902, DR.. Pryor stated that $4,000 per-
sons die annually in the State of New
York of this disease. One-sixth of all
the deaths in the world are due to this
one disease. Statistics show that in
France 100000 die every year of this
disease; in Germany, 10000; in the
United States, 100000; in Paris, H.
600: in London, $4,000; New York
City, 5000.
OF deaths between the ages Of fif-
teen and forty, tuberculosis claims one
third; between fifteen and thirty-fve,
one-half The mortality from tubercu-
losis alone exceeds that of war, plague,
cholera, famine, yellow fever and
smallpox.

Horrors of the Cocaine Habit.

The following illustration of bad adj
vice in the lecture room is probably
not an exceptional case. A professor
of materia medica lecturing on cocaine
called it one OF the greatest of all
stimulants and perfectly harmless.
He cited his own experience of its
good effects, and advised the class to
test it personally in debility and ex-
haustion. OF class of thirty-two who
listened to this advice, five became
cocaine takers within two years. Ten
years later thirteen of this class were
drug and spirit takers. In all prob
ability, the use of cocaine was the
starting point of their addictions.
Four died from the direct use of this
drug. Evidently more than half the
class had followed the advice of the
teacher and were wrecked. A few
years after, the professor became an
invalid and retired from the profess
SION, a victim of his own counsel and
confidence in cocaine.

The Quiet Way Best.

What's the use of worrying.
OF hurrying,
And scurrying,
Everybody fiurrying
And breaking up his rest.
When everything is teaching us,
Preaching, and beseeching us
To settle down and end the fuss,
For quiet ways are best?
The rain that trickles down in showers
A blessing to the thirsty flowers
And gentle Zephyrs gather up
Sweet fragrance from each trimming cup
There's ruin in the tempests path
There's ruin in a voice of wrath,
And they alone are blest
Who early learn to dominate
Themselves. their violence abate,
And prove by their serene estate
Mat quiet WAYS are best
