HOUSE CONTINUES THE DEBATE
states Criticised for Lax Methods OF
Controlling Insurance.

WASHINGTON Dec. 19.-The house to-
day continued debating. under the guise of
referring the message of the president to
committees, topics of interest, local and
national. The subject of the federal con-
troll of insurance was the main feature and
nearly all speakers began their remarks
with reference to it. The managers of the
big insurance companies came in for criti-
cism' the government was criticised for its
lack OF control In matters where it has
jurisdiction and the states were repri-
manded for lax methods of control.
The day was passed without legislation
and ended with an amusing debate on the
question of appointing janitor at $50 q
month to the reception room on the minor
ity side of the chamber. The minority re-
fused the offer of the majority in this mat
ter and with their aid the janitor was re.
jected.

Alcohol VS.. strenoth.

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
greater degree of cold than he could
without it; but when an actual trial
Is made, 1t 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 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 1885 pounds, a loss of more
than one-third. A notable diminution
in strength was still present ten hours
after the administration of the
brandy.

The Price of Indoor Life.

Within the past twenty years there
has been steady development of con-
fidence in the out-of-door method of
treating pulmonary tuberculosis. The
wonderful success that has attended
the outdoor treatment in all countries,
irrespective of altitude or special eli
matte advantages, has demonstrated
the immense value of the outdoor life
as curative means. This is not sur
prising, since man is naturally an out
of-door animal. The indoor life which
most civilized human beings live is
wholly artificial. We pay an enor-
nous price for the luxury of living in
houses. Not only pulmonary tuber-
culosis, but a large number of other
chronic maladies are the natural out
growth of the lowered vital resistance
which results from the conditions i'm
posed by modern civilized life.
We have become too much civilized.
A mild return to savagery is the one
thing needful at the present time In
cold weather we can not live out of
doors, but We can take care to supply
our living rooms. and especially our
bedrooms with an abundant supply of
pure cold air. This is very excel
lent remedy for morning headaches,
which usually mean air-poisoning.

are the cause of many chronic dis

The filel supply may be regulated in

seven breaths of overheated, indoor

times per minute this means loss of
four thousand breaths a day by living
in hot. close indoor atmosphere.
The amount taken in depends on the
habits of life. A deep breath must be
earned. A few moments vigorous out
dor exercise will do it. The nostrils
dilate. the chest heaves, the heart
quickens. the lungs expand, and the
fresh air is pumped into the body at
rapid rate. The draft is open. The

Vital Activity In Cold Weather.

i. 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 1t 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
GUS 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 SUBJ
stances. which may be called cinders
of the body.

There are millions of acres of arid
land upon the globe. much Of 1t, even
with the most persistent irrigation.
yielding but scantily, and enormous
reaches of it devoid of all growth but
the cactus, a foe to man and beast:
but Mr.. Burbank resolved that he
would reclaim it, not by irrigation.
though welcoming its aid. but by
means of the desert itself-the desert
and its cactus, it's heat and its sun.
So for period of over ten years he
has worked with the utmost persist
ence and skill until at last he has de-
veloped cactus plant which will con-
vert the desert into garden. He has
made the cactus thornless. taking from
its leaves the hard. woody substance,
life. More than this. he has made it
adaptable to any climate. 1t will thrive
on the hot desert. but it will grow
with marvellous fecundity when irri-
gated or when planted in richer soil.
But this is not all of the marvel. He
has bred this dreaded scourge of the
desert, this pariah among plants, until
it has become the producer Of de-
lightful, nutritious food for man and
beast-until. in his estimate, consider
ing the unused areas Of the world
where it will thrive. It will afford food
for twice the people now upon the
earth.-From William S. HarwoOd's
"A Wonder Worker or Science" in the
March Century.
