twelve minutes in dead faint in her

room, the prostrated actress was
borne from the room in the chair In

stored to consciousness by Tombs

sfell into a sound sleep, awakening
much refreshed this morning.

quite loath to submit to short inter.

deathly pale, and her eyes were dull
and almost eXpresslonless.

Some "pon'ts" About Dress.

Don't dress the neck too warm when
going out in cold weather. A little
extra protection is required for the
ears. but it is not necessary to mufile
up the neck with thick furs to protect
the ears. Warm wrappings about the
neck cause the skin OF the neck to
become mOistened with perspiration.
When the wrappings are removed in
doors, the slow cooling which takes
place in consequence of the evapora-
ton chills the part, and may produce
sore throat or nasal catarrh.
Don't wear rubbers indoors, nor out
OF doors, except when it is necessary
to- prevent wetting the feet. Rubbers,
being impervious to air, prevent evap'
Grafton, so that the perspiration is re.
tanned, and the shoes and stockings
become damp from the perspiration.
When the rubbers are removed, evap-
Grafton chills the feet, the same as If
they had been wet by the rain or by
walking on wet pavement. On re-
moving the rubbers after they have
leen worn for some time it is good
precaution to remove the shoes and
stockings and put on dry ones. If this
cannot be conveniently done care
should be taken to keep the feet warm
until the shoes are dry. The rubbers
should be dried before wearing again.

Condiments Create False Appetite.

There is absolutely no food value
in mustard, pepper, ginger, capsicum
and such things, and some of them,
spiced pickles, for instance. are indi-
gestible as sawdust. But these things,
people say, have relish. Those who
have good, healty appetite do not
feel the need of anything OF that sort
for a relish.
A condiment is something which
creates a false demand for food. 1t
enables us To eat when we really have
no appetite. Appetite is an evidence
OF gastric juice with which to digest
food. Lack of appetite is an evidence
that one is not in condition to digest
food. But condiment often produces
false impression resembling appe-
tte, making one think that he is ready
for food when he is not. 1t is, there
fore, a 'deceiver, to be especially avoid
ed by those who have no appetite.
Mustard, pepper. spices Of all sorts are
eLemies TO health.
Charlevoix county herald., 1905-03-25
How do You Eat?

II is safe to say that modern cook
ing develops business for both the sa-
loonkeeper and the undertaken. When
boy eats mustard plasters in the
form of food that is almost saturated
with fiery spices and irritating condi-
ments, thirst is created that nothing
but liquor or cigarets will satisfy. Man
is admonished to "eat for strength,
and not for drunkenness" but in these
days anything that will tickle the four
square inches of taste surface is con-
sidered good food, although it may
contain scarcely any of the elements
that nature requires to replace broken
down tissues and to rebuild the worn
out brain. AS a consequence, the vi
tally and physical resistance soon
reach such a low ebb that the individ-
ual falls an easy prey TO any microbe
with which he may chance to come in
contact.

such a powerful reaction that the
whole body was stimulated to in
creased vital activity and recovery fol-
lowed.
Here is another case: A young man
in New York who was getting ready
to go to the Klondike went into prac-
tice, to convince his friends that he
would not freeze to death. Out of a
large buffalo robe he made bag,
pitched tent In the back yard and
slept in the tent In the buffalo bag, all
the winter, without suffering any in
jury from the cold.
And another: A cultured lady in
New Jersey who made up her mind
that she needed a little hardening,
slept out of doors all last winter. She
had her bed put out on the second
story veranda, and an awning put up,
with a net around it to keep the night
hawks away. Plenty Of clothing was
provided, cap worn to keep the ears
from freezing, and she got along SO
well that she slept out OF doors the
entire winter.

1ent Life cures consumption.

A doctor in Denver some time ago
made some experiments with consump-
tives. A tent colony was established
little way out of Denver, and the
patients progressed fairly well during
the first part of the winter. But by
ard by there was blizzard, and the
thermometer went down to 20 degrees
below zero, and then they began to
improve very fast. One woman did
not seem to improve at all until the
temperature reached this mark, and
then she improved rapidly. She had
had no appetite, but that 20 degrees
below zero weather gave her an appe-
tite, which was an indication that the
body was beginning to work naturally,
that the assimilative processes were
being resumed, and from that time she
kept on improving.

OF all the diseases known, with

early and correct treatment is applied,

troubles. Lydia +. Pinkham's Vege-

Suppression of Consumption.

tuberculosis can be suppressed. It
is not necessary for person TO die be-
cause he has consumption. Thousands
of men and women have been sacri-
feed who might have been alive to-
day if only the right procedure had
been adopted. That which is neces-
sary for the mastery of this disease
is to return to nature-to live natur-
ally in the fresh air, develop the lungs
and eat proper food.
Tuberculosis is a low-level disease.
People are not subject TO it until their
tissues have become vitiated and their
whole bodies weakened.
To live natural life is the only
safeguard against tuberculosis. One
climate may do as well as another II
only one lives out of doors, gets plenty
of cold, fresh air, bathes the body with
cold water several times a day, and
takes as much exercise as he can

Child Labor In Factories.

The physician in attendance at a
municipal lodging house in Chicago
mas within the past year been making
careful inquiry into the history OF
the tramps who have become the city S
guests. He has found that a large
proportion of the tramps give history
of having been employed in factories
or in other facilitating occupations in
boyhood. Our artificial modern life
is making multitudes of human wrecks,
one class of whom is represented by
the homeless, friendless, disheartened
men known as tramps. Fortunate, in
decd, are the boys and girls who live
in country homes and have the oppor'
tunity of growing up in contact with
nature.
