Vital Activity in Cold Weather.

The vital fires burn brighter in cold
weather. The whole tide of life
moves with greater activity. The pro-
cess of digestion is quickened because
the process of oxidation is increased.
The liver requires oxygen for max.
ing bile and performing all its varied
functions, and the oxygen we breathe
in cold air, improves the function of
the liver. so it can do one-seventh
more work than before.
The muscles, also, depend for their
activity upon oxygen. In an excess
of carbonic acid gas the muscles are
asphyxiated, and so one feels de-
pressed in warm weather.
"A person does not get out of breath
SO easily in cold air as in warm. The
woodchopper can swing his axe with
more energy on a cold day. Cold air
aids in the elimination of the poison
aus matters which are all the time
forming within the body.
When oxygen is not plentiful
enough to make the vital fires burn
sufficiently to consume the fuel and
waste of the body, then much of the
waste material is left behind in the
form Of imperfectly burned sub
stances. which may be called cinders
OF the body.

LEARNED LESSON TOO WELL.
Customer of Book Agent Had Read UP
on Etiquette.

Henry James, the novelist, who,
after an absence OF twenty years, has
returned to the United States, tells
of a book agent driving many miles
to a farmhouse where on a previous
occasion he had sold a book. He
found the daughter at home and dis
coursed fluently and impressively on
the merits of his book. For each chap
ter he had a word of commentator.
The pictures received detailed expla-
nations. When he had concluded his
argument and stated the financial
proposition, the girl opened her mouth
reluctantly and said: Papa brought
that book home with him the day be-
fore Yesterday" After the agent had
exhausted his supply of polite yet en-
phatic words and condemned the girl
for letting him discourse when his time
was so valuable, the daughter ven
tured the following explanation: Sir,
last year you sold me book on ETH
ouette. That book says that the art
of being agreeable consists in know
ing how to be a good listener. did
not wish to be discourteous."

DYNAMITE ExPLoDEs.
Three Men Were Killed and Many
Others Injured.

Calumet, Mich, Feb. TO- - Ten
thousand pounds of dynamite stored
underground in a magazine at the
eighth level No. shaft of the North
Kearsarge branch of the Osceola Con
solidated mine exploded, killing sew
eral men, three of whom have been &C
counted for and injuring many others.
The force of the explosion was felt for
miles around, and men working in 9th
er portions of the mine some distance
from the scene of the explosion were
knocked down by the conclusion. The
cause of the disaster is shrouded in
mystery, and may never be discov-
cred. as William Pollim, Jr.. the man
who was in charge Of the powder. was
probably blown into thousands of
pieces, no trace of him having been
found up to this hour.

WAS CURED RAPIDLY
RHEUMATISM IN TWO SEVERE GASES

Vicinity of Their Homes.
In the winter of 1923 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by severe at
tack of rheumatism. His doctors treat
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
ouently regained his health by means
which he describes with great entity
siasm.
"After five or six weeks Of helpless.
ness and pain" said he, " during which
I was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, felt as bad as ever. Just then
my mother, q woman eighty years Of
age. paid mo visit. She had received
great benefit from DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and she was confident they would
help me. At her solicitation I gave up
the doctors treatment and took the pills
in its place"

taking her advice?"

absolutely none. For year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return of the old trouble. For
this happy result ! and my family freely
praise DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds of China township.
St. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schroeppel His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted great deal of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutary results in Mr.. Schroeppel's case.
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for an 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 DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor in the COM
munity where Mr.. Schroeppel and Gap
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

The Woman and the Dog.

II the average Belgian farmer were
deprived of the services of his wife
and dog he would soon succumb. The
women and dogs do very nearly full
half of all the work done on the farm.
Here on chill days when an overcoat
and gloves are very highly appreci-
ated by a pedestrian taking a brisk
walk. on all sides are seen women
working like beavers in the fields,
wedding turnip fields, hoeing out pota-
toes, doing all sorts of work. In some
instances, the man is by her side, but
she is generally alone, excepting for
the companionship Of from one to four
or Ave little tots" boys or girls, who
gather up the potatoes or pile up the
weeds.

Annette Juice.

The taking of food into the mouth
is a signal to all the digestive organs
to prepare for work. Even the sight
and odor of food may cause an out
flow of saliva, and at the same time
the gastric juice pours into the stom-
ach.
Pawlow, of st. Petersburg, in ex-
periments upon a dog, observed that
when food was introduced into the
animals stomach through an opening
made for the purpose it was not acted
upon; the digestive juice was not
poured out, and the stomach appar-
emily remained inert for nearly half
an hour. On the other hand, when the
animal was allowed to see and smell
the food, the saliva and the gastric
Juice poured forth abundantly, even
though the animal did not actually
taste a morsel. 1t is important that
the food should be retained in the
mouth for a sufficient length of time
to make the proper impression upon
the nerves of taste, so that the entire
digestive apparatus shall be thorough
~ prepared to carry the food sub
stances through the successive steps
of the digestive process.
The thorough chewing of the food
produces an abundance of what Paw
low calls Appetite Juice" which is
the best and most important juice
formed by the stomach. Hence food
must be we'll relished, and eaten with
careful attention to very thorough
masticatiOn.

The obIiaina Passenger.

Londoners take their gruelling very
cheerfully; indeed, on the whole a fog

put it on the rack.-London Chronicle.

Real HEALING AGENTS.

There are many fictitious remedies
Some make a man feel better when
he is really getting worse. The most
valuable measures which can be en-
ployed in dealing with the sick may
be said to be baths, exercise and diet
The chronic invalid can be made well
only by being reconstructed. The
sick man must be transformed into a
healthy man by a process of gradual
change. He has been months or years
in tearing down his constitution and
substituting an inferior grade of ma
terial. Now this process must be re-
versed, and little by little, the old It's
sues must be torn down and new It's
sues built in their place.
Warm baths help throw off stored
up poisons, and cold baths hasten the
destruction of waste tissues, increase
the activity of the heart and Of all the
organs, encourage the formation OF
the digestive fluids, and increase the
appetite for food
By means of exercise the movement
of the blood is quickened and the old
diseased tissues are broken down and
carried out of the body. Exercise al
ways diminishes weight. By exercise
a normal appetite is earned and deep
breathing encouraged.
Pure simple food is the proper ma
terial with which to construct a new
and healthy body. Man is built of
what he eats. The house is no better
than the material. Thus baths, exer-
else, and a natural dietary constitute
a curative trio, each helping the other.

The "Cold Air Cure"

Cold air purifles the blood, ener-
gizes the heart, puts new vim into
the muscles, helps the stomach, wakes
up the liver, lifts the whole being to
higher plane of life.
The most successful consumption
resort in the world is Davos, winter
resort in the Swiss Alps, near the En-
gadine, where the snow is six feet
deep and the temperature close to
zero all winter. Every winter hun
dreds of tubercular patients from all
parts of the world resort to Davos to
take the cold air cure"
Cold air cures (there is no doubt
about it,, when accompanied by wise
and skillful management, and careful
regulation of diet. In the summer
season this great healing force is
available only in small measure by
means of cold baths, ice rubs, and
fans; but in the winter season, the
keen frosty air is everywhere, ready
to be put to work as the great uplift-
ing power it is when rightly applied.
The winter season alone provides
continuous tonic conditions. The
dense air, containing from one-eighth
to one-fourth more oxygen than mid
summer, stimulates all the vital pro-
cesses to a higher degree of activity.
Here is healing force which is in
operation day and night, and steadily
lifts the patient up to a higher level
until the ebbing tide Of life turns
backward, and renovating forces of
the body resume their activities with
all the old-time vigor.

who built the first pillory and the
stocks. To the lasting joy of the
wicked, he himself was the first to
sit in the stocks, languishing in them,
for turning in bill which the au-

The whipping post stood in front of
the First Baptist church, and was
generally fianked by the pillory and
stocks, but these could easily be re-
moved from place to place, while the

Alcohol VS.. Strenqth.

The laborer, the traveller, and the
soldier use alcohol under the delusion
that it produces strength. When IA
tigued, the laborer takes glass of
grog, and feels better. He imagines
himself stronger. His increased
strength, however, is wholly matter
Of imagination.
The use of alcohol makes a man
feel stronger-makes him believe that
he can do more work, endure more
fatigue and hardship, and Withstand a
greater degree of cold than he could
without it; but when an actual trial
is made, it soon becomes apparent
that the ability is lacking. Numerous
experiments have shown that alcohol
decreases muscular strength. Says
takes somewhat from the strength OF
the muscles" Says DR.. Edmunds, OF
London, "a stimulant is that which
gets strength out of a man"
Some years ago a series of expert
ments were made for the purpose OF
determining the influence Of alcohol
upon the muscular strength. The
combined strength of all the different
groups of muscles in the body was
found, in the case of healthy young
man, to be 1881 pounds. The young
man was then given two ounces OF
brandy, and the test was repeated
He felt confident that his strength
was increased. In fact, it was found
to be only 1886 pounds, loss of more
than one-third A notable diminution
n strength was still present ten hours
after the administration Of the
brandy.
