A physician connected with the
United States Agricultural department
has called attention to the fact that
an extremely small quantity OF sui
pbate of copper will prevent the
growth of algae in lakes. ponds and
storage reservoirs, and will destroy
typhoid and cholera germs. The ques-
ton at once arises whether this meth
cd can be considered thoroughly n.y.
gjenic The probability is that the
small amount OF copper thus en-
ployed would be neutralized by COM
bining with vegetable substances SO
that the water will be left practically
pure; nevertheless, the addition OF
chemical substances to water cannot
be considered the most desirable
method Of publication. Boiling and
filtering through a Pasteur filter are
really the best methods. Filters are
cheap. and boiling is an easy and sim
pie process. The oId-fashioned char
coal and gravel filters cannot be re-
lied upon.

Food for Brain Workers.

Mental work requires much less
food than does physical labor. Re
cent careful experiments which have
been made. show that men engaged
in active mental labor and abstaining
from muscular exertion. require prac
ticaliy no more food than men at rest.
This is a fact of very great import
ance for students. ministers. and 9TH
er professional men whose occupation
does not require any considerable
amount of effort. since the taking Of
food in excess of that which is re-
quired results in the filling of the
blood with polsons. and in conse-
quence crowding of the tissues with
tissue wastes and poisonous matters
which interfere with all the bodily
functions, and especially with the
functions of the brain and nerves.
Mental activity is clouded. sleep may
be prevented. and all the effects of
nervous exhaustion produced by a
comparatively slight expenditure of
energy. giving rise to languor, some
times depression, and at other times
irritability, confusion, and indecision
of mind, even moroseness and melan'

Meyer of Boston. the new ambassador

short. Then there is the general with

he is Gen. Running-fght or Racing

A New York paper publishes an ac-
count Of a successful effort recently
made by Mr.. N. o. Nelson, in South
ern California, TO provide for the poor
er classes MIR. Nelson has established
at indio. in Southern California, what
he calls a health camp for consump-
lives. We quote the following de
scription of this worthy enterprise
with the hope that 1t may encourage
others TO do likewise: for certainly
no more benefcent work can be under
taken by anyone:
THE camp is located in desert
valley, cut off from the ocean by
the mountains. There is no rain. no
fog, no clouds. The winter days are
all warm, the nights comparatively
cold.
The camp was established in De-
cember. 1902. TO provide in part for
the large number of consumptives and
other invalids who go to Southern
California. Most of the invalids have
little means; they can not afford ex-
pensive sanitariums. and are not want
ed by hotels and boarding houses.
ITO meet the requirements of such
patients, Mr.. Nelson bought one hun
dred and twenty-five acres of land ad-
joining the Indio depot. This tract
he has improved by sinking artesian
wells, and by putting most of the land
under cultivation. in order to give con
valescents something TO do.
TENTS. with all necessary equip
ment for sleeping and taking meals
have been set up. Land and water
are free to those who have their own
outfit. A small rental for tents is
made to those who can not pay. and
where necessary, board is given them
All expenses need not be more than
from $3.50 to $500 a week
work is provided for those who arc
able to do it, so that their care does
not become burden on the camp.

OLD MEN FOR WARP
Changed Conditions Have Caused Re-
version of Proverb.


Must the venerable proverb, "O1d
men for counsel, young men for war;"
be amended? The experience of man
kind until the last half century seemed
to vindicate the last part of it as well
as the first. Caesar, who did not set
out against the Gauls until he was
AZ. and was 80 when he won at Phar-
salia, was long an exception.
Alexander beat Darius at Arbela at
"a. and before he was 80 vented his
famous sigh because there were no
more worlds to conquer Hannibal
was commander-n-chief of the Car
thaginian army at &c, and set out
against Rome at 80. Frederick the
Great won fredericksburg at 80. Ma
poleon had conquered Italy when %,
won Austerlitz at SO. and lost Water
loo at &c. Ney was the same age
as his great leader. and Murat but
two years older Wellington finished
the peninsular campaign at 45 and
won at Waterloo at 46.
Contrast the ages of these great
captains with those of the great com
manders of more recent times. Grant
was only AZ when he became lieuten-
ant general of the union armies. But
Lee was nine years older when he
fought his first great battle-at NAL
vern hill-than Napoleon was when
he fed from Waterloo. Moltke was
&c years old when he overthrow the
Austrians at Sadowa and 20 when his
genius triumphed in the Franco-Prus-
sian war. Nogi is "a, Kuroki is GO,
Oyama is ca.
1t seems probable that changes in
methods of warfare have been a fac
tor in putting middle aged and old
men in command of modern armies.
The physical qualities of the military
leader were OF prime Importance in
ancient times. He led his troops as
well as commanded them, and inspired
them to deeds of valor by the example
of his own prowess. These qualities
continued to be of considerable i'm
portance as long as armies were COM
pact masses of no more than, say. 50,-
600 men. Great soldiers, therefore,
were usually young men.
Things had changed when old
Moltke, a soldier of books and maps.
could sit impassively at the end of a
telegraph wire and direct the ION
quering movements of more than a
half million men according to a plan
he had drawn up months before. The
great captain had wholly ceased to
be a fighter. He had become a chess
player with board perhaps hundreds
or thousands Of miles in area. This
is what Oyama is. He is a cool. long
headed old fellow who has mastered
the science and the art of modern war
by long years of study and experience
Future great commanders probably
will be a good deal like him.

Alcohol and Tuberculosis.

DR.. s. A. Knopf the eminent New
York physician who has given a great
deal of attention to the subject of
tuberculosis, took occasion not long
since in a scientific paper to condemn
the popular notion that alcohol is a
remedy for consumption. He says:
There is an idea that alcohol is a
remedy or even a specific remedy for
consumption. There has never been
a greater mistake made. Alcohol has
never cured and never will cure
tuberculosis. 1t will either prevent or
retard recovery. 1t is like a two
edged weapon; on one side 1t poi
sons the system, and on the other side
1t ruins the stomach and thus prevents
this organ from properly digesting the
necessary food. Truly pathetic are
the results of this erroneous doctrine
in the families OF the poor, where, in
stead Of procuring good nourishment
for the invalid, liquor has been bought
in far too large quantities, so that
often there was not enough money left
for food for the sufferer nor for the
other members of the family"
