A Note to Novel Readers.

Well worth bordering, by a gener-
alton of novel-readers too apt to i'm
bibe a code of ethics from irrespon-
sible p%urveyors of fiction, r these
words in Harper's Magazine from
William Dean Howells, himself the
dean of American novelists:
IF a novel flatters the passions, and
eXalts them above the principles, it
is poisonous; it may not kill, but it
will alone exclude an entire class OF
fiction, of which eminent examples
will occur to all. Then tie whole
spawn of so-called immoral rOmances,
which imagine a world by the penal
ties following, swift or slow, but in
eXorably sure, in the real world, are
deadly poison; these kill. The novels
that merely tickle our prejudices and
lull our judgment, or that coddle
sensibilities, or pamper our gross APP
petite for the marvellous, are not SO
fatal; but they are innutritious, and
clog the soul with unwholesOme va
pors of all kinds. No doubt they, too,
help to weaken the mental fibre, and
make their readers Indifferent to
plodding perseverance and plain in
dustry, and to matter-of-fact poverty
and commonplace distress"

How Habits Are Formed.

The formation of a physical habit
involves the education of a portion
Of the brain; and when the habit has
once been formed the act may be per-
formed almost independently Of the
will or the higher brain. This fact
should impress us most profoundly
with the importance Of forming right
habits, since it is apparent that the
getting rid of a wrong habit involves
not only the formation Of a right
habit, but the far more tedious and
difficult work of undoing the evil
work which has been done in the
wrong education of the brain. This
same principle applies to the higher
centers which are concerned only in
mental acts, as we shall see later. 1t
is indeed a most momentous thought
that every act of our lives, not only
emanates from the brain, but modi-
fies and changes the brain, thus influ-
encing u characters.

WARFARE AGAINST CONSUMPTION
Why Fight 1t.
Why Fight 1t.

The Charity Organization Society OF
New York, in a handbook on the pre-
vention Of tuberculosis, encourages
the active campaign against this great
plague and gives a concise summary
OF why" the battle should be waged.
Because more people die of con-
sumption than from any other dis
ease.
Each year 1,095, 900 of the people of
the world die of it. In the United
States i've 100000 die every year of
consumption. Every day 5000, and
each minute of the day two persons
fall before this enemy. How many of
your friends have died of it?
Because it is a disease which
spreads from one person to another,
and any one may catch it.
Because it is chiefly caused by the
filthy habit of splitting.
Because it is a disease which can be
stopped, and need not spread.
Because every one may and should
help stop it.
Because already there is change for
the better. The number Of deaths
from consumption is growing less.
Twenty years ago there were many
more deaths in proportion to the pop
ulation than now.
If the tuberculosis death rate of 1886
had been maintained the first nine
months Of 1902, four thousand more
persons in Manhattan and the Bronx
would have died of tuberculosis than
actually died in these months.
Could anything be found more in
spring, more plainly indicative of the
need for extending the work against
this disease?

Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 3.-(Special)
That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs.
Betsey A. Clawson, well known here.
That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism
and had it bad, all her acquaintance
know. They also know she is now
cured. DOdd's Kidney Pills did it.
Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her
cure as follows:
Il was an invalid for most five years
caused by Infiammatory rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
first year 1 could not do as much as a
baby could do, then I rallied a little
bit and then a relapse. Then a year
ago the govt set in my hands and feet.
l suffered untold agony and in Au-
gust, 1903, when my husband died I
could not ride to the grave.
81 only took two boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks l could
wait on myself and saw my own wood.
l dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kid
nelly Pills cured me-"
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
In the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out Of the blood.

Use of Tobacco by Minors.

The use of tobacco by children, it's
causes and prevention is discussed
in the Medical Summary.
Whilst most states have laws forbid
ding the sale of tobacco to minors, it
is a notorious fact that such laws are
universally ignored. The parent,
teacher and physician are to blame.
The parent, that he does not thor
oughly train his child; the teacher,
that he does not better supervise the
conduct of his pupils; the doctor, in
that he does not warn the parent,
who perhaps errs himself.
School boys may be seen any day
on their way to school with books un-
der their arms, and a chew of tobacco
or a cigarette in their mouths. Oc-
casionally little girls may be observed
indulging in the seductive cigarette
on the streets. What will be the in
evitable results? The best that could
be hoped would be numerous tobacco
users, but worse might be feared, and
very much worse imagined.
The evil is evident, and the remedy
is provided, but law is useless till en-
forced on violation. The dealer will
not obey it till public sentiment de-
mands it; the child does not choose to
submit to it; the parent is negligent;
the pupil is Indifferent or silent; and
what is left for the child's salvation
but action upon the part of the guard
ians of humanity. If we act, we move
thankless. The parent will not appre-
ciate; the dealer will be made an
enemy; and the children will hate us
as they become men. Pastor and
priest, lawyer and laymen will sheer
if we attempt to enforce the laws.
Even but a few of our own body poll
tic may be depended upon to act, eth
er by precept or concerted movement.
Few physicians are ever good enough
politicians to ask a councilman or rep
resentative to vote upon a measure.
The effort against the evil is necessa-
rily, for the time, along the lines of
individual effort. To do good, we
must practice, act, and preach. If
our smoking" friends will close their
eyes while putting pipe or cigar, they
will find they cannot tell when they
have fire." What foolishness, to
spend money and waste health to
watch smoke curl. Horace Greeley de-
fined a cigar as "a roll of tobacco with
fire at one end and a fool at the 9TH
err" and we think him more than
half right. If the use of tobacco by
the adult be such idiocy, what shall
we say of its consumption by the
minor?

Skin Training.

An enormous amount of time is de-
voted to the training Of the hand, the
eye, and the brain, but the training of
the skin is seldom thought Of. Never
theless, a well trained skin is more
essential to health than almost any
other kind of bodily culture. The neg
lect of the skin must be regarded as
the foundation cause of a large num-
Der of chronic maladies. 1t may al
most be asserted that a man who will
keep his skin in a thoroughly healthy
condition may defy almost any known
disease. The experienced horseman
knows very we'll the Importance of at
tending to the skin of the animal un-
der his care. A horse which has a
hide-bound skin, with the hair dry and
dingy, dull and l%ifeless, in appearance,
shows by this fact that his whole body
is in a state of disease.
A healthy skin is warm, slightly
moist, smooth, reddens quickly when
rubbed or exposed to the action of hot
or cold water, is supple and elastic,
perspires readily under exercise or the
application of heat, and is free from
pimples, eruptions and disc%olorations.
To maintain this condition, the Skin
must be subjected to daily bathing and
grooming. Horsemen rub and groom
their charges daily. Wild and domes-
tic animals left free in the field habit
ually groom themselves by vigorous
rubbing against trees or other objects.
Hunters are familiar with this fact,
and often secrete themselves near a
rubbing tree" as a means of getting
an easy shot at their game. Man, of

To Protect Their Land.

PLATTSMOUTH-The land owners
along the Iowa side of the Missouri
river, south of the Plattsmouth bridge,
are planning a line of action to pre-
vent further cutting away of their
lands by the current. They have
under consideration the Kellner
method, which consists of weaving
wings of wire and willows and ex-
tending them out from the banks. The
wings gather deposits from the water
and eventually become solid. The pro-
ject will be an expensive one.
