lion tons of ore in sight having a
value of SIS per cent. The ore
also carries gold and silver values
of S. per ton. The copper con
tent reckoned at SIS per cent.
gives 100000 tons of pure
copper. which at IS cents per
pound, or $500 per ton, gives a
value of the copper deposit sIo5,-
ooo, 100000. The gold and silver
will run the valuation up to $500
ooo, 1000, 900, or a sum about four
times as great as the total wealth
of the whole United States.

Alcohol VS.. strenn.h

The laborer. the traveller. and the
soldier use alcohol under the delusion
that 1t produces strength. When ia
tigued, the laborer takes glass of
grog, and feels better. He imagines
himself stronger. His increased
strength, however. is wholly a 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 a
greater degree of cold than he could
without it; but when an actual trial
is made. it soon becomes apparent
that the ability is lacking. Numerous
experiments have shown that alcohol
decreases muscular strength. Says
DR.. Brunton, The smallest quantity
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 1886 pounds, a loss of more
than one-third. A notable diminution
in strength was still present ten hours
sitter the administration of the
brandy.

Within the past twenty years there
has been steady development of con
fdence 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
ofdoor 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 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.
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 a very excel
lent remedy for morning headaches,
which usually mean air-poisoning. .

Six breaths of outdoor air contain
