HOW to Resist Old AGE.

A chain is as weak as its weakest
link. The body is as weak as its
weakest organ. To combat the on
ward march of old age all organs must
be marshaled to harmonious resist
ance. This resistance can be devel
oped best by cultivating reaction" :"
This means that the body forces act
against some external stimulation and
overcome it.
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
vate the power of resistance by daily
exposure to cold air. Live out Of
doors as much as possible. The abil-
ity to resist cold will also enable one
to resist pneumonia. dyspepsia. apo
plexy, diabetes, obesity. old age.
The cold morning bath is a wonder
full youth preserver. Try it. Begin
carefully. At first rub face, arms and
chest with the hands dipped in cold
water. Then the rest Of the trunk and
the legs. Dry quickly and exercise for
ten OF fifteen minutes. In a month
you will hardly know yourself. Try It.

Traininc the Skin.

The usual effect of draft of cold
air upon the back of the neck is colo

which sore throat from this cause
might be prevented. BY blowing upon

trained his patients until they could
endure this treatment for half an hour
without injury.
1t 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-

Redroom Climate.

A person at the age OF sixty years
has spent about twenty years Of his
life in his bedroom. Have you inves-
tigated the average sleeping room cll-
mate? If you We're sent as mission
ary to some distant pestilential spot
the climate of which was as unhealth-
full as that OF the average bedroom,
would you not feel that you were risk
ing a great deal for the sake OF the
heather?
On the tombstone of tens of thou
sands of those who have died from
tuberculosis might appropriately be
inscribed, Disease and death were
invited and encouraged by death
dealing bedroom climate
To show that this is no eXaggera-
ton it is only necessary to call at
tention to the fact that fully half OF
the tubercular patients placed in out
door consumptive hospitals make
satisfactory recovery. If fresh air
will cure the disease. it is certainly
wonderful preventive of it. 1t is not
more reasonable to deliberately
breathe impure air than it is to drink
impure water or to eat unhealthful
food or wear infected clothing.

Tender-Hearted savages.

One of the most anomalous features
of our Christian civilization is the
slaughter house. especially the abat-
toirs of our great cities. where veri-
table torrents of blood perpetually
flow. the ebbing life of millions of in
nocents which die that man may feast.
Indians are not noted for being
over-sehsitive: and particularly de-
spise any exhibition of weakness. The
interior of a slaughter-house. however,
is said to have proved too much for
their powers of self-control. The Chi
cago Record states that "a party Of
fifteen BlackfOot Indians recently Wis
ited the killing room of Armour's
plant. One tainted. three more were
in. the rest covered up their eyes
They we're hurried out of the place
into the fresh air."
The Chanute times., 1905-03-31

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-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 God; and to live in divine
harmony is to be happy.

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

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.
ner. 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.

The number of deaths due to tuber-
culosis is tremendous. When the word
is spoken one instinctively thinks of
pulmonary consumption. This is the
form which attacks adults and which
we see daily gathering in its victims
There are other forms, however, more
common in children, that levy trib-
ute upon them without calling atten-
tion to the relationship between these
diseases and consumption of the
lungs.
Dr. jacob is authority for the state
ment that Tuberculosis kills as many
PEOPLE, old and young, as diphtheria,
Group, whooping cough, scarlatina,
measles and typhoid fever taken to-
gether." In all of our cities active
steps have been taken to protect the
Leople from the above named dis
eases. Until quite recently, however,
few years at most, nothing was done
to reduce the mortality from tuber-
culosis.
Now, however, the attention of the
world, the common people and the
health authorities, has been called to
it's durability and preventability.
The causes, the modes of scatter
ing, and the prevention are all being
studied. and an educational campaign
is on to wipe out this white terror"
The children suffer from tubercu-
losis of the bones, the bowels and

uniformly fatal Only by careful at
tention to the food and daily habits
can the rising generation be made i'm
mune from these varied forms of tu-
terculosis

babies born die before they reach the
age of five years, proves that the CON
stitutional capital" bequeathed them
is small Is the proper attention paid
to the diet exercise and out-of-door
life of the mother? If this were done,

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,
griddle 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 10
remove the cause of the trouble. We
NAV induce activity of the skin by
hot applications followed by cold or
hot bath followed by a short applica-
ton of cold; lamentations followed
bv 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-
tion of germs. which are destroyed by
fruit Juice. A well-prepared diet OF
toasted bread. zwieback, granose bis
cult, etc., is also useful in these
cases.
