The "Cold Air Cure"

Cold air purifes the blood, ener-
siZes the heart. puts new vim into
the muscles, helps the stomach. wakes
up the liver. lifts the whole being to
a higher plane of life.
The most successful consumption
resort in the world is Davos, winter
resort in the Swiss Alps, near the En-
gadiDe, where the snow is six feet
deep and the temperature close TO
zero all winter. Every winter hun
dreds of tubercular patients from all
parts of the world resort to DavOs to
take the cold air cure"
Cold air cures tthere is no doubt
about it,, when accompanied by wise
and skillful management, and careful
regulation of diet. In the summer
season this great healing force is
available only in a small measure by
means of cold baths, ice rubs. and
fans; but in the winter season, the
keen frosty air is everywhere. ready
to be put to work as the great uplift-
Ing power it is when rightly applied.
The winter season alone provides
continuous tonic conditions. The
dense air. containing from one-eighth
to one-fourth more oxygen than mid
summer. stimulates all the vital pro-
cesses to higher degree of activity.
Here is a healing force which is in
operation day and night, and steadily
lifts the patient up to a higher level
until the ebblng tide of life turns
backward, and renovating forces of
the body resume their activities with
all the Oldtime vigor.

Alcohol vs.. Strenqth.

The laborer, the traveller, and the
soldier use alcohol under the delnsiOn
that 1t produces strength. When ia
tigued, the laborer takes a glass OF
grog, and feels better He imagines
himself stronger. His increased
strength, however, is wholly a matter
of imagination.
The use of alcohol makes a man
feel stronger-makes him believe that
he can do more work, endure more
fatigue and hardship. and withstand =
greater degree Of cold than he could
without it; but when an actual trial
is made, 1t soon becomes apparent.
that the ability is lacking. Numerous
experiments have shown that alcohol
decreases muscular strength. Says
DR.. Brunton, THE smallest quantity
the muscles Says DR.. Edmunds. Of
London. "A stimulant is that which
gets strength out of a man"
Some years ago series OF expert
mcnts were made for the purpose Of
determining the influence of alcohol
upon the muscular strength. The
combined strength of all the different
groups of muscles in the body was
found, in the case of a healthy young
man, to be 1881 pounds. The young
man was then given two ounces Of
brandy, and the test was repeated
He felt conidenA that his strength
was increased. In fact. it was found
to be only 1886 pounds, a loss of more
than one-third. notable diminution
in strength was still present ten hours
after the administration of the
brandy.

DANGERS OF SNOWSL1DES.

Snowslides are most frequent on
steep mountains that have heavy
snowfall. With billowy train of
turning or crushing almost everything
before they make an awful and mag
mticent spectacle. Their speed is some
tines so great that trees alongside are
overturned by the swamping force of
the air, which the slide has violently
disturbed.
There are many well-authenticated
instances where miners have been
caught on the surface of slide and by
deXterOus use of their skis have kept
OIL top of the enGulfing surface of the
slide, and come out uninjured. John
Muir once rode down from the high
Sierra on a snowslide. He was swished
back down in minute over a distance
that had taken all day to climb. He
says of this ride: "This fight in n
milky way Of snowfowers was the
most spiritual of my travels; and. after
many years. the mere thought of it is
still an exhilaration."
ohe hiS "hiie 'iihpiiiS w "'oND
snowy slope slide started beneath
me, and for time I was on the sur
face of its upper edge. where the snow
was about two feet deer. Wading n
torrent will give some idea of the
sweep of the coasting snow. The SNOW
dust steamed and boiled up around me.
and each time I struggled to my feet
the rushing snow simply terked my
feet from beneath me. At last. smoth-
cred, l was dropped off The back end
upon bare ground.-Enos a. Mills. in

BURN POTATO pARINGS.

Don't throw potato parings into Vie
garbage box, but into the stove. and
thereby save yourself from the annoy
ance of having to Call the fire depart
ment to put out chimney fire.
Such is the advice Of Chief Mehfn-
ger, of the New Haven, Conn. Fire
Department. Damp weather breeds
favorable conditions for chimney tires,'
said the chief. Indeed. | am not sur
prsed that the fire department has
not been called out any oftener. 1t
seems when the SCOT becomes damp
it is more liable to originate fires by
spontaneous combustion than in dry
weather. All that we usually have to
do is to allow a weight to drop down
the chimney, when the fire will bun

clean their chimneys Regularly the an.
noyhnce of chimney fires would ston

ence know that the burning of po-
tato parngs prevents the gathering OF

ing up strong soft coal fire i'll its
kitchen range every day during the
winter, but you can never find trace
of SCOT on the lids, the bottoms of kct-
ties or in any part of the stove.
Potato parings are burned in the
stove daily. Another effective method
is the burning of pieces of zinc. l am
not chemist enough to know, but it
seems to me that the fumes generated
during the combustion of the zinc pre-
vent the gathering of SCOT, and it is
this SCOT that is the cause of mos

NERvE-RACK1NG MOMENTS.

The Malays had more certain way

To the under side of the raft was at

Real Healinu Auents.

There are many fictitious remedies.
Some make man feel better when
he is really getting worse. The most
valuable measures which can be en-
ployed in dealing with the sick may
be said to be baths, exercise and diet
The chronic invalid can be made well
only by being reconstructed The
sick man must be transformed into
healthy man by process OF gradual
change. He has been months or years
in tearing down his constitution and
substituting an inferior grade OF ma
terial Now this process must be re-
versed, and little by little, the old It's
sues must be torn down and new It's
sues built in thefr place.
Warm baths help throw of stored
up poisons, and cold baths hasten the
the activity of the heart and Of all the
organs, encourage the formation Of
the digestive fluids, and increase the
appetite for food.
BY means of exercise the movement
of the blood is quickened and the old
diseased tissues are broken down and
carried out of the body. Exercise II
ways diminishes weight. By exercise
a normal appetite is earned and deep
breathing encouraged.
Pure simple food is the proper ma
terial with which to construct new
and healthy body. Man is built Of
what he eats. The house is no better
than the material. Thus baths, exer-
else, and a natural dietary constitute
a curative trio, each helping the other

Appetite Juice

The taking of food into the mouth
is signal to all the digestive organs
to prepare for work. Even the sight
and odor of food may cause an out
flow of saliva, and at the same time
the gastric juice pours into the stom-
ach.
Pawlow, of St. Petersburg, in ex-
periments upon dog, observed that
when food was introduced into the
animals stomach through an opening
made for the purpose it was not acted
upon; the digestive juice was not
poured out, and the stomach appar-
emily remained inert for nearly half
an hour. On the other hand, when the
animal was allowed to see and smell
the food, the saliva and the gastric
Juice poured forth abundantly, even
though the animal did not actually
taste a morsel. 1t is important that
the food should be retained in the
mouth for a sufficient length OF time
to make the proper impression upon
the nerves of taste, so that the entire
digestive apparatus shall be thorough
ly prepared to carry the food sub
stances through the successive steps
of the digestive process.
The thorough chewing OF the food
produces an abundance OF what Paw
low calls Appetite Juice which is
the best and most important juice
formed by the stomach. Hence food
must be well relished, and eaten with
careful attention to very thorough
mastication.
