Post's Claim to consr..uIatIor.

A Paris youth named Armand Gally
killed his sweetheart and attempted
to commit suicide. At his trial coun-
sci for the defense described the
youth as a poet. and read pathetic

The jury was tcached and acquitted

Tobacco.

Since Jean Nicot discovered Nico-
tine, tobacco has had q hard name,
but recent chemical Investigators tell
us the world has been on the wrong
track for generations, and that nico-
tine has nothing to do with the trem-
ors, the nervousness, and the other
Ills that afiict the habitual smoker.
The injurious property is. it seems,
carbon monoxide gas, which il the
very constituent that is dangerous In
common water gas. The smoker
should know, then, that in consuming
one ounce Of tobacco he produces one
whole pint Of carbon monoxide, which
is q very fearsome thing. The cigar
cite, the object Of execration by all
good men and women. especially wom-
en-, produces very little Of the monox-
sde, but II the practice OF inhaling is
followed. the deadly gas goes straight
to the blood In the lungs. turns It
pink and poisons It. The cigar is the
great producer Of the obnoxious gas.
and would be more harmful than the
pipe, were It not for the ordinary
pipes incurable hlthiness.
Scientists are agreed that there il
something bad about tobacco. what
ever its name may be. Yet the sales
are growing At SO rapid q rate al over
the world that the people seem to be
rushing blindly to their own destruc-
tion, unmindful and regardless Of their
doom. And the hardened smoker be-
neves that this is = case where isnos-
ance Is bliss.

The most common stomach disorder
u known n acute gastric cAtArrh.
acute indigestion, or acute dyspepsia
all three terms signifying the same
disorder. The chief cause Is irrita-
ton due to food, improper In quantity
or quality, spelling in the stomach.
This malady rarely occurs In IN
fants fed on good breast milk, unless
something occurs to upset the mother.
Older children often have attacks
from eating too much candy. unripe
fruit, pastry and the like. In grown
people this disorder is called . bilious
attack" s
In bottle-fed infants, especially dur
Ing the summer months. 1t il q very
common complaint. The symptoms
are loss Of interest in play and sur
roundings, starting in the sleep. cry
Ing with collie pains, drawing up the
legs ON the abdomen. sharp. shrill cry,
paleness around the mouth. blueness
Of the skin and cold feet: In severe
cases. fever. nausea and vomiting
Of mucus and undigested food. When
The food has been more than usually
lndigestible there are often convul-
sions and symptoms resembling those
of Inflammation Of the brain and
spinal cord.
The writer remembers well q typi-
cal case. A child of three years. after
eating a number of windfallen apples
and drinking two cups Of milk, was
suddenly seized with commissions. oc-
curing every half hour or less. and
remained unconscious for hours.
Some effort had been made to empty
the stomach by vomiting, but in vain.
An emetic and tickling the throat with
feather brought up mass OF Jumps
Of unripe apple and large. sour curds.
This soon restored the little one to
consciousness. A thorough enema and
dose of castor oil freed the alimen-
tary canal of the undigested food and
poisons produced by it; but several
days of fever followed, during which
no food could be retained by the stom-
ach, and even water was rejected for
q time.
The best treatment in case Of acute
Indigestion Is to empty the alimentary
tract at once by an emetfc of warm
water or the stomach lavage; q thor
ough enema and a mild cathartic to
free the bowels. Stop all food at
once, and do not try to put anything
Into the stomach until the vomiting
ceases. unless 1t be ice-pills or sips Of
hot water.
The collie pains can often be re-
lieved by lamentations. In the chill
stage at the onset, warm full bath
or warm sheet pack is good; and a
hot mustard foot bath when the feet
are cold. II there is diarrhea, hot
enemas. followed by tepid or cool
ones, are often very soothing. In
cases Of infants, especially bottle-fed
babies, all milk should be kept out
Of the food for . time. During the
frst twenty-four to thirty-six hours.
only pure cold water or ice should
be given. After vomiting and purg-
ing cease, the child may be fed tea
spoonful or two Of white Of egg (the
white Of one egg mixed with four
ounces or water or grueD. When the
patient begins to convalesce, milk,
modified and sterilized, may gradually
be given.
Watch the effects of the change Of
food, as the stomach Is likely to re-
main irritable for q long time, and
relapses are common,N which, in hot
weather especially. may result in chol-
era infantum, or some other acute in
flammatory disorder.

Here's another hint from the same
Journal. Scientists who have gone
boldly into the favored haunts Of the
mosquito to study his ways. have
discovered that the insects are par
tial to some colors and averse tc
others. They particularly dislike yel-
low. Their favorite is dark blue, with
dark red next. then brown. then scar
let, then black. then blue gray, then
olive green, then violet. then pearl
gray, then white.
1t should be borne in mind that the
mosquito is the chief source Of malar-
ial infection. Certain species OF mos
quito constantly carry with them In
their bodies the malarial parasites.
and In infiicting their bite they inject
some OF these parasites into the
blood.
DR.. Schoo has observed that when
mosquitoes have access to acid fruits
their bite becomes less poisonous, or
quite harmless. And Professor Celli
has observed that in portions of Italy
where tomatoes are largely cultivated.
the people are practically free from
malarial infection, although the region
is naturally very malarious. It would
seem. then. that the wide cultivation
Of acid fruits, such as tomatoes.
strawberries, and other succulent
varieties, may be made an important
factor in Kidding the world Of this
very troublesome pest.

Hygiene Of Churches.

zThe poet tells us that the groves
were Gods first temples. From
health standpoint they were far supe-.
rior to our magnificent modern edi-i
fees. where the worshipers come in,
contact with countless germs lurking
In the upholstered seats. and In, the.
dust-laden carpets, and their minds
are stupefied by being compelled to
inhale the poisons that are constantly
exhaled from the lungs Of others, be
they sick or well.
Clergymen should feel pride in hav-
ing their churches hygienically con-
structed and well ventilated. Fixed
carpets should not be used in places
OF worship where SO many people con-,
gregate. The example Of the great
Roman divine, the bishop Of Fano, in
Italy; is good one to FOLLOW in this
respect. A circular was recently is
sued by him in which he asks the
priests Of his diocese to comply with
the following rules:
Il. In every church the floor must
be regularly cleaned with sawdust.
saturated with a strong subNmate
solution. This thorough cleaning
should take place particularly after
holidays when great masses Of peo-
pie have visited the church.
"2. Every week all ordinary chairs
and confessional chairs, should be
thoroughly cleaned with moist rags.
8. The CRATE Of the confessional
chairs must be washed every week
with lye and then polished
