Tent Life Cures Consumption.

A doctor in Denver some time ago
made some experiments with consump,
tives. A tent colony was established
a little way out of Denver, and the
patients progressed fairly well during
the first part of the winter. But by
and 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 We're
being resumed, and from that time she
kept on improving.

Child Labor in Factories.

The physician in attendance at a
municipal lodging house in Chicago
has within the past year been making
a careful inquiry into the history of
the tra:nps who have become the city S
guests. He has found that large
proportion of the tramps give history
Of having been employed in factories
or i'll other debilitating occupations in
bOyhOOd. Our artificial modern life
is making multitudes OF human wrecks,
one class of whom is represented by
the homeless, friendlcss, 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.

WAS CURED RAPIDLY
RHEUMATISM In TWO SEVERE GASES
MASTERED IN FEW WEEKS.

The Remedy Used by Mr.. schroeppel and
by Captain I.aIfour In Great Demand in
Vicinity of Their Homes.
In the winter of 1923 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by a severe at
tack of rheumatism. His doctors treat
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
quently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu-
siasm.
"After five or six weeks of helpless
ness and pain, :" said he, 81 during which
was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, / felt as bad as ever. Just then
my mother, n woman eighty years of
age, paid me visit. She had received
great benefit from Dr. Williams Pink
Pills, and she was confident they would
help me- At her solicitation gave up
the doctors treatment and took the pills
i'll it's place.
tAnd were you cured as the result of
taking her advice?"
Yes, quickly and thoroughly. Be-
fore the second box was finished I felt
very manifest improvement, and within
two weeks 1 was able to leave my bed and
take up my neglected farm work. con-
tinued to use the pills, however, until
eight boxes had been taken, although
long before that felt that every YES
tige of the disease had been aradicated.
care there no traces left?"
absolutely none. For a year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return of the old trouble. For
this happy result and my family freely
praise DIR. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds of China township,
st. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
SchroeppeI. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted Il great deal of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel' S neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutary results i'll Mr.. Schroeppel's case,
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for all attack OF rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment."
1t is little wonder that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor i'll the COM
munity where Mr. Schroeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are SO well and favorably
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful in curing
neuralgia, sciatica and partial paralysis.

Natural Cure for tuberculosis.

A Swedish doctor some fourteen or
fifteen years ago succeeded, by a very
have been given up to die. His prac-
tice was first of all to rub the patient
three times a day with a towel wet
in very cold water. A little later he
put the patient in a tub of water at
about so degrees, rubbing him vigor-
ously for about minute, and later, as
the patient became better able to
endure the cold water, he was plunged
into a tub full of ice water. This was
done three times a day. Think of
those poor consumptives! Neverthe-
less they got well. The cold water,
with the rubbing following, produced

Home SanitariumS.

In New York city consumptives are
building little huts on the tops of the
houses, and are recovering. Outside
New York, Boston, aud other large
cities, tent colonies, where consump-
tiyes can live out of doors, are being
established. Every city ought to have
outside it a camp where tubercular
patients can live and get well. The air
inside the city is not so good as it
is outside; but on the tops of the
houses, where the sun can shine, it
is a great deal better than it is il the
damp, dirty buildings in which most
city people live.

a National Error.

Our cities are growing so rapidly
that only about one-half of our pOpu,a-
ton are now living in the country. Dr.
Gould, speaking of the wrong OF shut
ting men and women up in houses and
forcing them into sedentary occupa-
tions, says: There is enough land and
opportunity, if both were allowed and
utilized, to give every human being q
livelihood that will permit life of
normal length" He adds, that with
proper hygienic living, especially in
youth, ana with right lung expansion
and development, no person should
have tuberculosis.

RAW ITCHING ECZEMA
RIotches on Hands, Ears, and Ankles
For Three Years-lnstant Relief
and Speedy Cure by Cutcura.

Thanks to Cuticura I am now rid
of that fearful pest, weeping eczema,
for the first time in three years. 1t
first appeared on my hand, little
pimple. growing into several bIotches,
and then on my ears and ankles.
They were exceedingly painful, itch

little of the burning and itching, and
the cure now seems to be complete.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Definace Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand De
fiance and save much time and money
and the annoyance of the iron stick
ing. Defiance never sticks.

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 a 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 10 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 a condiment often produces
a false impression resembling appe-
tite, 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
ell emies to health.

Some grocers say they don't keep De-
fiance Starch. This is because they
have a stock on hand of other brands
containing only II ounces in a package,
which they won't be able to sell first.
because Defiance contains 16 ounces for
the same money.
Do you want 16 ounces instead of 70
