How to Resist Old Age.

A chain Is as weak as it's weakest

weakest organ. To combat the on

be marshaled to harmonious resist

This means that the body forces act
against some external stimulation and
overcome 1t.
The best developer of reaction is
cold-either cold air or cold baths.
This must be done gradually, espe'
cially If one is already weak. Guilt

Houses built of stone are durable
and warm, but they never should be
plastered directly on the stone. The
walls should be strapped and then
lathed and plastered. for if plastered
on the stone wall, the walls are al
ways colder, especially in the winter
and the moisture in the rooms will
condense on the walls, making them
wet. All brick, stone or concrete
walls should be strapped before being
lathed and plastered.
The walls should be 20 inches thick
for first story and Is inches for sec
ond story. Mortar for laying stone
for such building may be composed
of one part of Portland cement to five
parts of sand.
The cost of stone work will depend
on the cost of material, where the
building is erected and the class OF
stone work required. For plain rub
BILE work the usual price per cord is
fifteen dollars where cement is used
in making the mortar Your walls
would cost $420, estimating them at
SIS per cord. You would require
about 40 barrels of cement. ii.

Many times Women call on their family
physicians, suffering as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart

assuming them to be such, prescrlbes his

only symptoms caused by some womb dis
ease. Tho physician, ignorant OF the
cause of suffering. encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-

ably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.

would have entirely removed the disease

A person at the age OF sixty years

the tubercula- patients placed in out

food or wear infected clothing.

Trainjnu the Skin.

The usual effect of a draft OF colo
air upon the back of the neck is cola
and a sore throat. Many years ago
DR.. Brown Sequard. an eminent
French physician, devised a means by
which sore throat from this cause
might be prevented. BY blowing upon
the back Of the neck with pair OF pei
lows, increasing the time each day. ne
trained his patients until they could
endure this treatment for half an hour
without injury.
It is not necessary to be exposed to
a draft of air on the back OF the neck
in order to obtain this result. BY
means of the cold bath, the wet-sheet
rub. the shower bath, towel friction
etc.. the skin may be educated to con-
tract on the slightest increase OF coid'

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 1or
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 Doth

Attendants with buckets continually
refill the boxes from the springs. Fol
less luxurious bathers there is accom-
mediation in a pool which has been
dug out close by. In this they squat,
scooping up the water and pouring II
over their heads with brass basins. IL
is curious to reflect that establish
ments like Homburg and AiX-les-balns
have had their origin in such begin
nings."

Mild Weather ls Bringing Thousands
Of Settlers.

Of Settlers.
The splendid yields of wheat. oats
and barley produced by the farmers
Of Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
AS a result the inquiries made OF the
Agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those OF the
same period last year. Railroad COM
ranies are putting on increased car
rying capacity to meet the demand
made upon them for carrying passen-
gers and freight. Everything points
to most prosperous year. There Is
room for hundreds of thousands ad-
ditional settlers, much new land hav-
ing been opened up for settlement
this year.
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years.
and considering the large number it
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from

laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are fine wheat, oats, barley and flax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co.

and dairy country. This is the right
time to get foothold in the Canadian
West, as it was some years ago in the
United States. We are free from

In HARMONY with Nature.

Modern science as well as expert
ence has shown that contact win 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 Cod and to live In DIVINE
harmony is to be happy.

A Cure for Cold Feet.

An excellent and simple remedy
for cold feet is the application OF cold
water. Step into the bathtub, let the
cold water run in little faster than
it runs out. Standing in the water,
rub one foot with the other, rapidly,
ten or twelve times. Then change and
treat the other foot in the same man.
rer. Keep up this alternate rubbing
for about three minutes. The feet
will have become very red, and as you
step out of the water, you will fnd
them burning and glowing with tne
warm blood brought into them by this
means.
