Y IA " first place TO the necessity of
NWIIK lighting the bacteria which
~ give us our diseases. Next
X to the actual bacteria of dis
ease, the mosquitoes and flies
are the most dangerous enemies of man,
The mosquito with ITS bite ~injects into our
veins malaria, yellow fever, and other fatal
troubles. The fiy, with spongy feet, collects
the invisible germs of diseases, spreads
them over II food and poisons us with
typhoid, cholera and other plaques of the
human race.
DIR. Pierce, the eminent physician of Buff
falo, N, ", says, rIf each person will con.
slider his system as an army Of men which
he controls as a general, and will see 10 Its
proper provisioning and that it has plenty
of ammunition in the shape of good red
blood, he will be able to overcome the
enemy in these germs of disease Every
healthy man has five million red blood
corpuscles to every square millimeter OF
blood. The best tonic for increasing the red
blood corpuscles and building up healthy
tissue is no doubt DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. This medicine has been on
the market for over a third of a century
and numbers its c=Trs by the thousand.
Many popular patent medicines or tonics
are made up largely of alcohol and will
shrink the corpuscles of the blood and
make them weaker for resistance. What
is needed is an Alternative extract, like DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made
of roots and herbs, without the use of alco-
hol, that will assist the stomach in assimi-
lating or taking from the food such ele-
ments as are required for the blood, also an
Alternative that will assist the activity of the
liver and cause il TO throw of the poisons
in the blood. When we have accomplished
this we have put the system in a fortified
condition so strong that il can repel the
germs of disease which We find every
wherein the street-cars, the shops, the
factories, the bedrooms, wherever many
people c~ongregate, or where sunlight and

SCHOOL VACATIONS

In Chicago the members of the
school board are considering the adj
visibility of doing away with the an
nual school vacation, says the Globe
Democrat. DR.. Chvatal, the member
of the board who introduced the res
olution, insists that such change
is needed to promote morality and
check the growth of crime among the
juvenile population. 'Idleness is
not the best thing in the world for
the child" said DR.. Chvatal in ex-
planning what may be called a revolu-
tionary proposition. This is partic-
ularly true of the children of large
city, unless they are brought up un-
der circumstances that give them OPP
portunity for more development. Ali
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy. is a good old adage, but it is too
one-sided. There should be bal
ance."
So far as the dispatches disclose,
the Chicago resolution does not pro
vide the needed balance. AS the
Chvatal resolution is reported it pro-
vides for dispensing with the summer
vacation entirely, which would GER
tainly be a flying toward an opposite
extreme which could find no justifi-
cation in sense or morals. While the
vacation habit is growing among the
children OF larger growth. 1t would
appear anomalous to deprive the
smaller children of what IL has been
very ably contended is an essential
of their bodily growth and mental
development. A vacation in the heat
ed season has come to be regarded as
one of the indispensable things by
all who are in a position to Indulge
in the luxury, and many grown-up
people take longer vacation every
summer than falls to the school chill
dren, who. immature and undevelop-
ed, can certainly urge stronger
claim to rest in a season of lassitude
than any of the rest of us.
On the other hand, IT is true that
in the congested district of great cit
les long vacations do serve the bad
purpose of leading children into evil
ways. Satan still finds mischief for
idle hands to do among the very
young, as well as among those of rip
err years. But the long summer
school vacation, instead OF being abol-
ished outright, might be shortened,
or. better still. halliday sessions
might continue through the summer.
and no doubt they would be found to
yield excellent results. The re-
straints of discipline and teaching
imposed by half day of work in a
schoolroom would be found sufficient
