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-
mediation in pool which has been
dug out close by. In this they squat,
scooplng up the water and pouring IL
over their heads with brass basins. 1t

ments like Homburg and Aix-les-Bains

In Harmony with Nature.

Modern science as well as expert
ence has shown that contact with nat
ural surroundings, especially fresh air.
sunshine and the ozoning emanations
from growing plants, has marvellous
health-lmparting 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

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
1t 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 find
them burning and glowing with the
warm blood brought into them by this
means.

An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
TO their physician. This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to

gard TO those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
10 a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with un-
married women.
Is it any wonder, then. that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on2

spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her

Is extended freely to women by Mrs.

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,
greens, ETC.; mustard, peppersauce,
ginger and other condiments and
spices; pastry containing animal fats;
free fats, which lodge in the stomach
and remain there a long time; pork,
Criddle 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
NAV induce activity of the skin by
hot applications followed by cold or
hot bath followed by short applica'
ton 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
ton of germs, which are destroyed by
fruit Juice. A well-prepared diet oil
toasted bread, zwieback, granose bis
cult, ETC., is also useful in these
cases.

Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands

The splendid yields g wheat, oats

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
