ONE CAUSE or ILLNESS.
Ridiculous Fads That Spring From n
SCATTERING of knowledge.


SCATTERING of knowledge.
A famous physician upon being asked
recently what is the chief cause of i'll
health replied: Thinking and talking
about it all the time. This ceaseless
introspection in which so many of the
rising generation of nervous folk in
dulge is certainly wearing them out.
When they are not worrying as to
whether they sleep too much or too lit
tie they are fidgeting over the amount
of food they take or the quantity of ex-
ercise necessary for health. In short,
they W. give themselves a moments
peace. Our grandfathers did not con-
Germ themselves with these questions.
They ate drank slept. as nature
prompted them. Undoubtedly they
were healthier in mind and body for
their sublime indifference, and if we
asked ourselves fewer questions we
should have less time to analyze or inn
agine ailments.
That medical science has made re-
markable progress in the last few dec
AIDES cannot be denied. The fault for
some present day undesirable conditions
lies not with the doctor, but with the
patient. There has been too great a
tendency on the part of the laity to ac-
quire a smattering of medical knowi-
edge through the reading of so called
health magazines and pamphlets and
to put into practice on their WI ac-
count that little knowledge which, it
cannot be denied, is a dangerous
thing" The following of some most
ridiculous fads along the lines of eat
ing, drinking, sleeping and exercise has
assisted in swelling the mortality sta.
tistics. Our g~randfathers would hold
up their hands in horror at many of the
foolish things we do in the name of
health" A little more of the COM
Portable nonchalance of our healthy an
cestors would do no harm to the rising

STATE AUDITOR HALLIDAY, In his
Iroquois Chief, takes the stand that
the republican Of Kingsbury county
have once voted against the primary
system. Doubtless the friends Of
the primary will take exceptions tothe
statement, but the fact that a major
ity Of rs out ofa total of a triae over
400 was recorded against The question
last fall warrants Mr.. Halliday in
making the statement. To hold
that full expression was not record
ed at that time is t. convict the
friends of that measure Of iadiHer-
ence or neglect. IL the latter Is
true, there can be but a few who are
interested to any great extent. 1t is
also a fact that some who favored
the primary for state nominations
did not favor it for county
purposes, and rather placed their
influence against the proposition at
that time. On the face Of the re-
cords Mr. Halliday is correct in his
statement, and we are not at oil GER
tain that If the bill now before the
Legislature is submitted to the peo-
Pile the vote two years hence will not
be against the measure. The INDIE

"The Heart of Chicago. {"

The thrilling melodrama. "The
Heart of Chicago" which is crowd
ing theatres nightly wherever it
is presented is announced at the
the attraction at the Opera House
Wednesday Dec. o."
1t is one of the few dramas of
modern metropolitan life that real
ly touch the heart strings Of
human sympathy, love and sorrow.
1t breathes of the every day
mixture of humor and pathos
that go to move the cog-wheels of
great city's humdrum machinery
and throughout is rich in exciting
episodes, narrow escapes and path
etic situations.
The play is in five acts, every
scene being staged effectively and
is from the brush OF Barry j. Buh-
Ter. A more than competent com
pany and several up to date vaude-
vile acts are promised by the
management. The tour is under
the direction of Mr.. Lincoln j.
