Alcohol and Tuberculosis:

DR.. S. A. Knopf. the eminent New
York physician who has given a great
deal of attention to the subject of
tuberculosis, took occasion not long
since in a scientific paper to condemn
the popular notion that alcohol is
remedy for consumption. He says:
There is an idea that alcohol is a
remedy or even a specific remedy for
consumption. There has never been
a greater mistake made. Alcohol has
never cured and never will cure
tuberculosis. 1t will either prevent or
retard recovery. It is like a two
edged weapon; on one side it poi
sons the system, and on the other side
it ruins the stomach and thus prevents
this organ from properly digesting the
necessary food Truly pathetic are
the results of this erroneous doctrine
in the families of the poor, where, in
stead of procuring good nourishment
for the invalid, liquor has been bought
in far too large quantities, so that
often there was not enough money left
for food for the sufferer nor for the
other members of the family"

Miqhty Bear Hunter.

With the killing of bear weighing
1877 pounds, after long chase, Matt
Decker, the famous hunter of Willo-
wemac, Sullivan county, N. Y, has
ffty-eight bears to his credit. Decker,
who is a merchant in the village, is
known to many New Workers. AL
though advanced in years he is as
agile as boy in the pursuit of game.
Decker learned that a large bear
had crossed the river near his home,
and with dog and gun went after it
l., hot haste. Two miles further on
he discovered that bruin had found
refuge in a large hollow birch tree.
A pile of brush at the foot of the
tree was lighted, and the bear soon
made it's appearance in a great hurry.
Decker sent a bullet through it's brain
and carted the carcass home on E
wood sled.

Mater Publication.

A physician connected with the
United States Agricultural department
has called attention to the fact that
an extremely small quantity of sui
plate of copper will prevent the
growth of algae in lakes, ponds and
storage reservoirs, and will destroy
typhoid and cholera germs. The ques-
ton at once arises whether this meth
cd can be considered thoroughly n.y.
gjenic. The probability is that the
small amount of copper thus en-
ployed would be neutralized by COM
bining with vegetable substances SO
that the water will be left practically
pure; nevertheless, the addition of
chemical substances to water cannot
be considered the most desirable
method of publication. Boiling and
altering through a Pasteur filter are
really the best methods. Filters are
cheap, and boiling is an easy and sim
pie process. The old-fashioned char
coal and gravel filters cannot be re-
lied upon.

SOME SIMPLE DISHES.

Breakfast Toast-Cut rather thin
slices of bread into two or three
pieces. Put these into the oven and
let them bake very slowly for two or
three hours, or until of a golden color
and crisp throughout. This is an ex-
cellent substitute for breads and much
more wholesome. 1t is delicious served
with cocoanut or dairy cream or but
ter.
Cocoanut Cream.-Cut fresh cocoa
nut into thin slices and grind the nut
very fine in a chopper or some strong
hand mill. If nothing of this sort is
available, the cocoanut may be grated.
To each cup of the prepared nut add
one cup of hot water, stirring and
beating with a spoon to extract as
much of the juice as possible. Drain
off the liquid and add a similar guam
tity of hot water, and, after beating
again very thoroughly, strain through
a cloth or very fine sieve, pressing
out all the liquid possible. This may
be used at once as a substitute for
milk, to be eaten with rice or other
grains, or to prepare buildings or
sauces. 1t is. excellent served with
granose fakes or eaten with zwie-
back If placed on the ice for few
hours, the cream win rise to the top
and may be taken on, making a pure
cOcoanut butter.
Strawberry Esg-nog--Beat the yolk
and white of one egg separately, and
to each add one teaspoonful of sugar.
To the yolk add one teaspoonful of
lemon juice and two tablespoonfuls
of strawberry juice. Stir in the white
leaving enough to serve as a meringue
for the top.

A New York paper publishes an ac-
count of a successful effort recently
made by Mr.. N o. Nelson, in South
ern California, to provide for the poor
er classes. Mr.. Nelson has established
at Indio, in Southern California, what
he calls q health camp for consump-
tives. We quote the following de-
scription of this worthy enterprise
with the hope that it may encourage
others to do likewise; for certainly
no more beneficent work can be under
taken by anyone:
"The camp is located in a desert
valley, cut off from the ocean by
the mountains. There is no rain, no
fog, no clouds The winter days are
all warm, the nights comparatively
cold
s'The camp was established in De-
cember. 1902, to provide in part for
the large number of consumptives and
other. invalids who go to Southern
California. Most of the invalids have
little means; they can not afford eX-
pensive sanitariums. and are not want
ed by hotels and boarding houses.
ITO meet the requirements of such
patients, Mr.. Nelson bought one hun
dred and twenty-five acres of land adj
joining the Indio depot. This tract
he has improved by sinking artesian
wells. and by putting most of the land
under cultivation. in order to give con-
valescents something to do.
"Tents, with all necessary equip
ment for sleeping and taking meals,
have been set up. Land and water
are free to those who have their own
outfit A small rental for tents is
made to those who can not pay, and
where necessary, board is given them.
All expenses reed not be more than
from $3.50 to $500 a week.
Work is provided for those who are
able to do it, so that their care does
not become a burden on the camp.
3'The camp is situated in the midst
of sandy valley one hundred miles
long and three to ten miles wide.
The mountains on each side rise by
thousand feet high. In some places in
the foothills there are springs and
vegetation.
I'm the valleys most of the land
has been taken up in the past few
years. The crops of melons and vege-
tables are early and bring high prices.
From 500 to 5000 an acre is an
ordinary yield. Alfalfa hay is cut ten
times a year, giving twelve to fifteen
tons an acre
when the campers get well enough
to work. they buy or lease a few
acres. They can either buy the land
on the instalment plan. or lease it on
shares for such length of time as de-
sired"

Food for Brain Workers.

Mental work requires much less
food than does physical labor. Re
cent careful experiments which have
been made, show that men engaged
in active mental labor and abstaining
from muscular exertion, require prac-
t1cally no more food than men at rest.
This is fact of very great import
ance for students, ministers, and 9TH
er professional men whose occupation
does not require any considerable
amount of effort, since the taking of
food in excess of that which is re-
quired results in the, filing of the
blood with poisons, and in conse-
quence crowding of the tissues with
tissue wastes and poisonous matters
which interfere with all the bodily
functions, and especially with the
functions of the brain and nerves.
Mental activity is clouded, sleep may
be prevented, and all the effects of
nervous exhaustion produced by a
comparatively slight expenditure of
energy, giving rise to languor, some
times depression, and at other times
irritability, confusion, and indecision
of mind, even moroseness and melan-
choly.
