THE GUARDIAN OF OUR BODY.

The foremost biologist of our day,
NJ. Metschnikoff, has shown the world
Of science that there are leucocytes in our
blood that act as scavengers or policemen
These policemen which are called bhago-
cyles look out for the noxious or poisonous
elements in our blood. Various offending
elements are picked out of the blood and
tissues by these policemen and destroyed.
Therefore our lives are protected by
these blood cell-policemen, the bhdgocyieS,
and we enjoy immunity from disease so
long as our blood contains plenty of phago-
cytes and red blood corpuscles.
"A new broom sweeps clean and in
order to put our own house in order we
must get rid of all the poisons in the blood
with a new broom such as an Alternative
extract made from roots and herbs-with-
out the use of alcohol, as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, specific for
making rich red blood-for eradicating the
poisons from the blood In some way the
policemen in the blood are increased in
number and strength-so that we are put
IN the best possible shape to resist disease
to cure neuralgia, colds, catarrh, and in
ciplent consumption.
"The more study and time is given to the
subject the more we find that the blood is
the center of life says DR.. K. v. Pierce,
the noted specialist of Buffalo, "the health
and comfort of the average person depends
entirely on this blood supply-for the heart
must have pure blood or it will not pump
and keep the body supplied regularly like
the beautiful automatic engine it is. The
nerves must be fed on pure blood-or we
suffer the pain of neuralgia, which is the
cry of the starved nerves for food. Head
aches, cold in the head, catarrh-and many
other things are due to stagnation of the
blood"
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a mild
laxative. No other medicine equals them
for geutlcness and thoroughness.

Beauty and the Nobleman,

with it.

"This penholder, thenf"

answer.
"You must take this bonbomniere.
Even if you don't like sweets, you
must have someone you can give it to. !"
Il hate sweets" responded the much
prosecuted nobleman, "and l don't
feel any necessity to bestow q gift on
anyone"
Now the beauty determined to play
her trump card. Holding up cake
of soap, she said, sweetly: II need

The Misuse Of "Ouite."

"Quite" strictly means completely"
and is rightly used in such sentences
as "The flower is quite faded" Its
secondary meaning, "very," "to a
great extent" has the authority of
good writer's, though such expressions
as "quite young" and "quite hot"
have q colloquial ring about them.
There is, however, springing up of late
the slovenly practice of employing the
adverb "quite" with noun-e. g.,
"quite a panic ensued." If All adverb
can modify noun, where is the dis
tinction between adverb and adjectivef
As a matter Of TACT, the functions Of
the adverb seem to be encroaching on
those of the adjective.

The Art Of Resting.
Baltimore American.

To understand how to rest is of
more importance than to know how
TO work. The latter can be learned if
one will give ones mind to it, but the
former is an act some people never &C.
quire.
Rest necessitates change of scene
and activities. Lounging is very often
firing, sleeping is not always restful,
and sitting down with nothing to do
is simply to invoke weariness. A
change is needed 10 bring into play q
different Sc: OF faculties, and to direct
the thoughts into new channel.
The woman who is weary and heavy
laden with care finds relief in active
employment with freedom from re-
sponsibilits- The brain worker gen.
orally finds her best rest 10 playing
hard. Rest may be found in many
different ways, but it is quite mistake
to expect to find it in idleness.

New Species Of Ant.

A French traveller has discovered q
new species of ant in Siam. The
creatures were small, of a gray color,
and lived in damp places. NJ. M.
Nielsen, the Frenchman who noticed
this popularity, WAS attracted to these
groups by discovering that each com.
pany contained large ant that trav.
eled more rapidly than the others.
Observing them more closely he
noticed that each large ant always
carried . small gray ant upon it's
back, though the remainder of the
groups were on foot. This mounted
ant would ride out from the line,
travel swiftly along the column from
head to rear and apparently overlook
their maneuvers.

Do not let scorch. For each pie take
one we'll. beaten egg, half cup of sugar,
two tescapfuls pumpkin more, if

boiled, is much nicer, and no risk OF

LIFE FROM CHEMICALS.
Startling Proposition of University Professor
Of Course nailins from Chicago.

Jacques Loeb and other noted physi-
ologists that life can be regenerated,

physiology of the University of Chi.
cago, has declared to class in that
institution that before many months
had passed scientists would be regen-
Grating life in all the laboratories, for
he says that this has already been
done in the lower forms.
The instructor OF the class in ply.
siology further asserted that in his
opinion the origin OF man was due to
chemical reaction, but that the spirit
OF man was divine. In referring to
the physical part of man, he meant,
he said that he originated from low
form of life created by the action OF
chemicals.
Then he cited many instances where.
in chemists have proved that life could
be created in low forms. He said, for
instance, that it had been demon
strated that violin string placed in
water would show signs of action.
In similar experiments, MAJ hews de-
clared, scientists would show that life
would be generated, but he did not ex.
pect them to make human beings.
The instructor also told how Professor
Loeb once caused the heart of a turtle
to beat by placing it in solution of
salt, and that after it had been cut
into slits the parts contracted and
moved.
1t is along these lines that Mathews
is experimenting, and he is following
closely the theories advanced by such
men as DR.. Loeb. He is enthusiastic
over the discoveries he has made so
far, but says he is not ready to an
nounce them now for the reason he
might be misunderstood.
