Is now to be overcome. The testers will have their day. but the joke will be on them in the end, for the anti toxin is no day dream of an unripe silly season, but a genuine product Of a German laboratory, at least as well authenticated as other antito1ins have been when they were first announced. The theory on the basis of which the antltoxln was sought was In substance that physical exhaustion Is the result of peculiar form of poisoning. Fro longed strain makes the fires of the body burn rapidly. Among the prod ucts of combustion are certain poison ous materials which are left in the tis- sues. Rest is necessary 10 give the body chance to throw them on. Hence If these poisons could be coun- teracted by an antl-poison the period Of necessary rest might perhaps be great ly reduced. To secure the poison, or toxin, Dr. Wolfgang Weichardt of Der lin forced a guinea pig to exert Itself till 1t was in an extreme stage of ex- haustion. He then killed it, and se- cured from its crushed muscles the toxin in the form of yellowish brown scales, which were so unstable that to keep them they had to be put in seal ed tubes in liquid air. No such poison could be obtained from normal guinea pigs, and a little of 1t injected into other pigs killed them within twenty. four hours The antitoxin was obtain ed by inoculating horses in the ordi- nary manner. Many tests were made with the toxin and antitoxin on small animals, and finally on human beings. One of the latter tests showed that q young woman on taking four quarter gramme doses of the anu-toxin was able to lift two kilogrammes 2,4IS me ters with the middle finger of her right hand, whereas without the stimulation she could lift the weight only 1.533 meters. If the antitoxln does what is hoped 1t will not only be of great aid to athletes in their feats of endurance, but will also be of value in treating cases of nervous exhaustion and con valescents from serious sicknesses. For the ordinary tired feeling" 1t should be of value as much through the threat of administering 1t as through its actu- al use.

Using Free Helps.

Frequent reference has been made to the advantages of using the State experiment stations, which land own. CTS in each State help support, hence have an undoubted right to ask their help when needed. The director of one of the State stations told the writer not long ago that he hoped the sub ject might not be urged too hard, else the stations might be in the same trou- ble he was with a farmer in his State. This farmer makes 1t his busl- ness to send to the State station sample of everything he buys for the farm in the way of stock food and fertilizers and has proflted greatly by the plan. If he is attracted to cer- tain stock food, for example, he will buy the smallest purchasable quantity and send liberal sample to the State experiment station and obtain its opin- ion as to its worth. He bases further purchases on the report received from the station and by this plan saves many dollars. Do thou likewise
 Do not be afraid that you will give the station men too much work. Some of them need more work, while the majority of them will be more than glad to be of use to you, for they will see the beginning of an era of useful ness which has hitherto been denied the stations and solely because the worst enemies of the institutions have been the very people they were intend ed to help-the farmers. Try the plan the next time you buy grain or mixed feeds for the stock. You will learn much and save more.

MT. Cleveland on woman's Clubs.

Grover Cleveland has contributed an article to the May Ladies' Home Jour nal on "Woman's Mission and Wom- ans Clubs.' The former President looks with little favor upon woman's clubs. His ideal of a good wife is summed up in the homely definition: "A woman who loves her husband and her country with no desire to run either" He does not object to women associating or cooperating in charita- ble, benevolent and religious work To- cal In activities and purposes. He even seems willing q woman should belong to one or perhaps even two clubs. He fears, however, that if she join one club she will be tempted to join more, and will finally get to neglecting her home. He regards home making and child rearing as the highest missions of woman, and he believes there are womans clubs whose objects and in tents are not only harmful but harm ful in way that directly menaces the integrity of our homes and the benign disposition of our wifehood and moth erhood."
 Mir. Cleveland thinks the rapid growth of woman's clubs Is partly due to "the widespread and contagious fe- yer for change or encouragement which seems to leave no phase of our peoples life untouched" He regards 1t as also In some measure a retalia- ton upon American husbands for sur rendering themselves to business and the pursuit of wealth and neglecting their wives. Left to follow their own devices, women have taken up club life as a refuge from loneliness and monotony. He denounces mans neg feet of woman as 'dastardly of fense," but thinks women who forsake their homes for clubs only make their situation and their children's far worse-Chicago Tribune.

To Rest the Body.-Don't be afraid to open the mouth wide and yawn and stretch whenever you feel like 1t. In deed, if you are very tired, but do not feel like yawning, there is nothing that will rest you so quickly as to sit on a straight-back chair, and, lifting the feet from the floor, push them out in front of you as far as possible, stretch the arms, push the head back, open the mouth wide, and make yourself yawn. Those tense nerves will relax, the con tracted muscles will stretch, and the whole body will be rested. Do this two or three times when you are tired, and see what 1t will do for you.

Poisons.-When poison has been ac- cidentally swallowed, no emetic is bet ter than mustard. Mix three teaspoon tuls with a cup of warm water and swallow. At once the stimulative ac- ton upon the stomach causes that or gan to reject all its contents, the pol sonous ingredients with the rest. The emetic of mustard leaves no i'll effect behind It. but instead, a feeling of pleasant warmth and stimulus. It is one of the quickest of all emetics and the most harmless.

First the people initiate some new thing from foreign sources; next they adjust 1t to their own peculiar needs; and finally they become so skilled in its use that they reach the stage of origination. This might be called the "o-ae" order. Many an Occidental has followed 1t, too.

Hot Water for Insomnia.-Insomnia is often caused by worry upsetting the stomach, for indigestion will infiate the blood vessels of the brain. Recogniz- ing this, doctors are now prescribing hot water internally and externally. Before going to bed the person so af- flicted should put his feet in hot water The object of this Is to draw the blood from the head, for when the blood yes sells are inflated they press against the skull, the result being fears, apprehen- sions and wakefulness.

Drink Water.-Nowadays people do not drink enough water to thin the blood so that the system can be cleared of its effete matter quickly and prompt ly. The consequence Is that this long continued retention produces rheuma- tism and catarrh, and affects the heart. The use of water in normal quantity keeps the stomach and bowels clean, and really has the effect of an inside bath.

Little Women Hate Hugely.

That the dainty little Japanese wom- en are capable of cherlshing deep hatred Is shown by their attitude to- ward Russians.
 From the Empress down to the wife of a cooly, 1t is said, they are united against the government and the indi- viduals of the Russian nation. T. Fun abushi, student at the Boston Uni versity Theological school, in a recent lecture on The Patriotism of Jap anese Women" declared that men are inclined to put all the blame on the Russian government, and to give a charitable construction to whatever is done by an individual Russian subject. But the women remember all the atro- cities committed by the Russians on the defenseless and weak Asiatics for the last ten years.'
