Alcohol VS., Strenuth,

The laborer, the traveller, and the
soldier use alcohol under the delusion
that it produces strength. When IA
tigued, the laborer takes a glass of
grog, and feels better. He imagines
himself stronger. His increased
strength, however, is wholly matter
of imagination.
The use of alcohol makes man
feel stronger-makes him believe that
he can do more work, endure more
| fatigue and hardship, and withstand
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, 1.-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 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, loss Of more
than one-third. A notable diminutior
in strength was still present ten hours
after the administration of the
| brandy.

is clogged. If too little draft Is sup
piled the fuel is not entirely con
sumed. This leaves "cinders" whic1
are the cause of. many chronic dis
eases, and of premature old age.
The fuel supply may be regulated in
the dining room. The draft is depend
ent on the kind and amount of air
breathed. Cold, crisp, fresh air FUR
nishes perfect draft. The blood takes
from this kind of air, when it is
breathed in, just the element needed
to burn the food.
Six breaths of outdoor air contain
as much of this element-oxygen-
seven breaths of overheated, indoor
air. AS man breathes about eighteen
times per minute this means a loss of
four thousand breaths a day by living
in a hot, close indoor atmosphere.
The amount taken in depends on the
habits of life. A deep breath must be
earned. A few moments vigorous out
dor exercise will do it. The nostrils
dilate, the chest heaves, the heart
quickens, the lungs expand, and the
fresh air is pumped into the body at
a rapid rate. The draft is open. The
cinders are burning up. The whole
system is being cleared of rubbish.
Don't be afraid of cold air. There's
life and health out of doors.

Bread Worth Preserving.

Sir Wilfrid Lauson, the noted Eng
lish temperance reformer, tells Of a
MAJOR in one of the inland towns, also
a strong prohibitionist, who was in
vlted to dinner by neighboring may
or. 1t was an especially festive occa'
sion and all sorts of drinkables were
at hand, but, Of course, the visiting
mayor abated none of his teetotal
ideas. 1t happened, however, that the
hosts butler, long in the family serv-
ice. was a good deal of wag. Fill.
Ing a tumbler from a bowl of milk
punch on the sideboard he set 1t with
on; warning at the prohibitionist's ell
bow. The worthy guest took long
pull at what he supposed to be his
tavorite beverage, set down his tum-
bier and exclaimed with pious fervor:
"I4ord, but it was great COW gave
tia milk"

The Price of Indoor Life.

Within the past twenty years there
has been steady development of con-
fidence 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 a curative means. This is not sur
prising, since man is naturally an out
of-door 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
A 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 oul
bedrooms with an abundant supply Of
pure cold air. This is a very excel
lent remedy for morning headaches
which usually mean air-poisoning.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 oz.-on" full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 1907. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes tc
dispose Of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let

GUARDS WHITE HOUSE DOOR.
Arthur Simmons Has Held Important
Position EortY.tWo Years.

Arthus Simmons, the negro door
keeper and messenger at the white
house, has held that position for forty
two years, serving under ten Presidents
and being one Of the governments
most faithful employees. He was born
a slave in North Carolina, ran away
to Washington at the outbreak of the
civil war and managed to get an inter,
view with Lincoln who appointed him
doorkeeper. 1t was to Simmons that
President Grant offered his famous
threat: "Do you see that MANI" point
ing to an importunate and persistent
ofiiceseeker who had bothered Gen.
Grant to the point of distraction,
yes" replied Simmons. well, that
man is after your job. The next time
you let him in here I'm going to give
it to him." Needless to say the Of
flee seeker never secured another in
terview with the President.

Vital Activity in Cold Weather.


The vital fires burn brighter in cold
weather. The whole tide of life
moves with greater activity. The pro-
cess of digestion is quickened because
the process of oxidation is increased.
The liver requires oxygen for max
ing bile and performing all its varied
functions, and the oxygen we breathe
in cold air, improves the function of
the liver, so it can do one-seventh
more work than before.
The muscles, also, depend for their
activity upon oxygen. In an excess
of carbonic acid gas the muscles are
asphyxiated, and so one feels de-
pressed in warm weather.
A person does not get out of breath
so easily in cold air as in warm. The
woodchopper can swing his axe with
more energy on a cold day. Cold air
aids in the elimination of the poison
GUS matters which are all the time
forming within the body.
When oxygen is not plentiful
enough to make the vital fires burn
sufficiently to consume the fuel and
waste OF the body, then much of the
waste material is left behind in the
form of imperfectly burned sub
stances, which may be called cinders
of the body.

Mr.. ,HAYDEN'S VIEWS
GIVES HIS OPINION OF THE BEST
TREATMENT FOR PARALYSIS.
Declares Thnt Dr. Williams Pink Pills
Restored the Use of His Limbs when
All Other Remedies Eniled.

Declares Thnt Dr. williams Pink Pills
Restored the Use of His Limbs when
All other Remedies Failed.
The premonitory symptoms Of paraly-
sis are: trembling of the hands; sudden
loss of power in arms or legs, frequently
affecting one whole side of the body; stag
gering; partial or entire inability to use
the fingers; distortion of the features,
sometimes an uncomfortable quivering
Of the chin; severe pains; difficulty in
speech Frequently the first warning is
vague feeling of headache, vertigo and
muscular weakness.
In u recent interview Mr.. w. J. L.
Hayden said: 81 truly think that DR..
Williams Pink Pills are great medi-
cine for they cured me when physicians
and other remedies had failed to give
me the slightest relief. Too close at
tention to business brought on an attack
of nervousness which finally developed
into paralysis. There were times when
IL was impossible for me to move my
hands or to get up from chair. AT
other times had partial control of my
limbs, but was afraid to go far from
the house for fear / might suddenly be-
come helpless and have to be carried
home.
"While was in this miserable con-
dition, was stricken with malarial fever
and confined to bed for four months. I
had the best physicians. but while they
relieved my fever, their treatment did
not entirely drive the malaria from my
system, and they did not help my par
alysis in the least
"I was well nigh despairing when
friend persuaded me to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. When ! had finished one box
I could see results that encouraged me.
My condition kept steadily improving,
and when had taken seven boxes was
cured of paralysis and the malaria was
completely driven out Of my system.
For two years now have enjoyed the
best of health and have attended to bus
mess without any interruption"
Mr.. Hayden's home is at No. 252 West
seth street, New York. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills have cured many similar cases
of paralysis, also locomotor ataxia. They
are sold by all druggists. A treatment
so simple, inexpensive and successful
should be tried by every sufferer from
partial paralysis i'll any OF its stages.

Appetite Juice,

The taking of food into the mouth
is a signal to all the digestive organs
to prepare for work. Even the sight
and odor of food may cause an out
flow of saliva, and at the same time
the gastric juice pours into the stom-
ach.
Pawlow, of st. Petersburg, in ex-
periments upon a dog, observed that
when food was introduced into the
animals stomach through an opening
made for the purpose it was not acted
upon; the digestive juice was not
poured out, and the stomach appar-
emily remained inert for nearly half
an hour. On the other hand, when the
animal was allowed to see and smell
the food, the saliva and the gastric
Juice poured forth abundantly, even
though the animal did not actually
taste a morsel. 1t is important that
the food should be retained in the
mouth for a sufficient length Of time
to make the proper impression upon
the nerves of taste, so that the entire
digestive apparatus shall be thorough
ly prepared to carry the food sub
stances through the successive steps
of the digestive process.
The thorough chewing Of the food
produces an abundance OF what Paw
low calls Appetite Juice" which is
the best and most important juice
formed by the stomach. Hence food
must be we'll relished, and eaten with
careful attention to very thorough
mastication.

EnoIIshmen SEEING a Liqht.

English travellers are coming over
in increasing numbers every year, and
II the distances were as short or ex-
penses as little as travelling on the
continent we should get more Of them.
What has contributed as much as any
thing else toward compelling compli-
ments from the English, who are slow
to admit good things in other people,
is the knowledge that the American
men and women can take care OF
themselves anywhere and under al
most any conditions. They like our
independence, which, as sensible
Americans themselves admit, is often
made to appear unattractive, and they
like our honesty and courage. Said
an observant Englishman: ut is easy
to look down upon the American, but
the serious trouble is to get him to
look up to you. Baltimore Herald.

URGE WOMAN FOR POSITION
Miss Florence Kelly May Be New
Works. Commissioner of Labor.

TorkS commissioner OF LABOR.
There seems to be good prospect
that tho next state commissioner Of
labor in New York will be woman.
Miss Florence Kelly is being urged for
the place to succeed John McMackin,
whose removal is imr '1ent on &C
count OF his failure to enforce the
child labor laws. A number Of so
cieties and philanthropic persons have
sent letters and petitions to Gov. Hig-
gins urging the appointment of Miss
Kelly. She is daughter Of the Penn
sylvania congressman Familiarity
known as "Pig Iron" Kelly, and was
labor commissioner of Illinois under
the administration of Gov. Altgeld. A
report has been prepared by the New
York child labor committee showing
that the employment of child labor
was twice as extensive in 1904 as 1t
had been in the year previous.

CAN FEED MILLIONS MORE.
Earth Capable of Sustaining 5000, ooo,-
900 of Human Beings.

Prof N. S. Shaler Of Harvard, writ
ing in the International Quarterly, es-
Inmates that the world as 1t Is could
feed population about double what
1t has at present. This, however, is
not the limit of the earth's capacity,
for there are vast areas of swamp
land, and still vaster areas or arid
land that are capable OF reclamation,
the former by draining, after the man
ner that has been adopted so success
fully in Holland; the latter by irriga-
ton. In the United States alone he
estimates that not less than 100000
square miles of marsh and swamp
might be brought under cultivation,
and a considerably larger extent of
now waterless plains. In Europe there
is little, comparatively speaking, to
be done in either direction, but in Asia
and Africa there are vast opportuni-
ties for increasing the area of cult
vable land. The Nile alone, the pro-
fessor says, could water ten times as
much territory as it now does. Alto
gether he estimates that the engineer
could render available new land to
feed third population as great as the
present population of the globe. This,
in his opinion, is the limit. Well. sup
posing that the world with its popula'
ton trebled is supporting some five
thousand millions of human beings,
there would still be about a ten-acre
lot for each individual. 1t will be a
very different world, however, from
the world of TODAY

The "CoId Air Cure"

Cold air purifies the blood, ener-
gizes the heart, puts new vim into
the muscles, helps the stomach, wakes
up the liver, lifts the whole being to
higher plane of life.
The most successful consumption
resort in the world is Davos, a winter
resort in the Swiss Alps, near the En-
gadine, where the snow is six feet
deep and the temperature close to
zero all winter. Every winter hun
dreds of tubercular patients from all
parts of the world resort to Davos to
take the cold air cure"
Cold air cures (there is no doubt
about it), when accompanied by wise
and skillful management, and careful
regulation of diet. In the summer
season this great healing force is
available only in a small measure by
means of cold baths, ice rubs, and
fans; but in the winter season, the
keen frosty air is everywhere, ready
to be put to work as the great uplift-
Ing power it is when rightly applied.
The winter season alone provides
continuous tonic conditions. The
dense air, containing from one-eighth
to one-fourth more oxygen than mid
summer, stimulates all the vital pro-
cesses to a higher degree of activity.
Here is a healing force which is in
operation day and night, and steadily
lifts the patient up to higher level
until the ebbing tide of life turns
backward, and renovating forces of
the body resume their activities with
all the cld-time vigor.

Real HEALING AGENTS.

There are many fictitious remedies.
Some make a man feel better when
he is really getting worse. The most
valuable measures which can be en-
ployed in dealing with the sick may
be said to be baths, exercise and diet.
The chronic invalid can be made well
only by being reconstructed. The
sick man must be transformed into a
healthy man by a process of gradual
change. He has been months or years
in tearing down his constitution and
substituting an inferior grade of ma
terial. Now this process must be re-
versed, and little by little, the old tbs.
sues must be torn down and new It's
sues built in their place.
Warm baths help throw off stored
up poisons, and cold baths hasten the
destruction of waste tissues, increase
the activity of the heart and of all the
organs, encourage the formation OF
the digestive fluids, and increase the
appetite for food.
BY means Of exercise the movement
of the blood is quickened and the old
diseased tissues are broken down and
carried out of the body. Exercise al
ways diminishes weight. By exercise
a normal appetite is earned and deer
breathing encouraged.
Pure simple food is the proper ma
terial with which to construct a new
and healthy body. Man is built Of
what he eats. The house is no better
than the material. Thus baths, exer
else, and a natural dietary constitute
curative trio, each helping the other
