mankind are communicated through tho air c11ch ranounonio hrononitiC

mankind are communicated through the air, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, consumption, la grippe, whooping cough, diphtheria, humps, chicken pOX, measles, scarlet fever and other maladies. Each one of these is caused by different disease germ. These disease germs, when floating in the air, are always found attached to some form of dust. Out of doors in the open air they are so quickly diffused and swept away by the winds that they are rarely dangerous. But in confined spaces within enclosed walls they are highly dangerous. Hence the dust of dwellings, and especially crowded hab- itations, is liable to be vastly more infectious than outdoor dust. It is not necessary that there shall be dis ease in the dwellings. The infection may be brought in on the shoes by stepping in spittle on the sidewalks, and far more abundantly on the trail ing skirts of ladies which are shaken and brushed in the house. The prac- tical lesson which these facts teach is, that such methods of cleaning occu- pied apartments as raise dust should be avoided, hence brooms and feather dusters are in disgrace with good housekeepers, except in very limited llSC. lAcu dEUlClcS u luTulUUT0 UudU retain dust, such as tapeSty hangings, portieres, etc., should be sparingly used, and when practicable, taken with upholstered articles out of doors to be cleaned. Carpets nailed to the floor are particularly unSanitary. Hard wood tight floors which can be wiped with a dampened mop are the proper thing. Carpets should be peremptori- ly excluded from schoolhouses, lecture halls, theaters and churches. In churches where reserved seats for the worshipers are annually rented, a rug in the pew may be permitted, as an additional luxury, provided an appro- priate tribute be paid the sexton for occasional removal and cleaning. Crowded assemblies are potent factors in the dissemination of epidemic dis. eases, because of the frequent presence of some one in the 1nc:pient or con- valescent stage of communicable disease, and the sweeping of carpets multiplies the danger.

MIR WORTH SUFFERS SIX MONTHS OF
 MISERY CAUSED BY GENERAL DIsOR-
 DER OF HIS NERVOUS SYSTEM.
 Typhoid fever is sometimes called nervous fever. During the course of the fever the nerves are always pro- foundly disturbed, and when it is over they are left so sensitive that the pa tient has to be guarded against all ex- citement. In the tonic Urea tment then demanded, regard must be paid not only to building up flesh but also to strengthening the nerves. A remedy that will do both, make sound flesh to repair waste and give new vigor to fec ble nerves, is the most convenient. and economical.
 MT Worth has had valuable experi- ence by which other sufferers may prof. it. He says: "I had severe attack of typhoid fever late in the fall. I got over the fever, but remained very weak during the succeeding spring and sum- mer. My heart palpitated, my breath ing became difficult after the least ex- ertiOn and there was numbneSS in both hands. I suffered in that way for full ly six months. AS did not grow out of it, did not in fact see the slightest improvement as time passed, I decid- ed to use the very best tonic to be LOuAN3 0AO OAAOoSOA Uo 6OU ONOh IlJ strength and my command over my nerves. A statement in the papers about very remarkable cure effected by Dr Williams Pink Pills impressed me so much that concluded to make a trial of them in my own case.
 "Almost as soon as I did so, I found that I was using the right remedy for my troubles. They helped me so quick | ly that Icould seedecided ediDlprovement l before I had finished the first box. I kept on taking them for several weeks and when stopped 1 was completely we'll. I consider pr Williams Pink Pills a most valuable remedy, and l am in the habit of recommending them to others who are afflicted as I was. " i Dr Williams Pink Pills are widely known, and justly praised. It is one of their great merits that they supply strength to muscles and nerves at the same time that they purify the blood, and correct diSOrdered action of bodily organs. Nothing could be better for forwarding recovery from facilitating diseases such as typhoid. They create what we call the necessary conditions or basis of all sound health, and they do all this better than any other known remedy.
 Thousands of testimonies from all parts of the world agree in supporting that of Challes Worth, whose home is at East Vassalboro, Maine. Dr Will liams' Pink Pills are the remedy to use when the blood is thin as in an8- mia; or impure, as in rheumatism; or when the nerves are weak, as in neu- ralgla; or lifeless, as in partial paraly- sis; or when the body as whole is i'll | nOurished, as in general debility. When the nerves ache and tremble it means that they are starving. The only way to feed them is through the blood, and the best food is Dr Will f Hams Pink Pills. They are sold by all druggists.

RRAMsLE BUSH INDICATED.

Theodore Roosevelt, jT., has FUR
nished us with an example that teaches
us that the man who lost his eyes in a
bramble bush was not so terribly fool
ish when he jumped into another bush
to scratch those eyes in again. The
dispatches tell how young ROosevelts
nose has been Strengthened to such an
extent that it is more beautiful than
his family ever hoped it could be.
To begin at the beginning: Some
time ago while engaged in some ath-
letic contest. Theodore. jr., sustained
an injury that twisted his nose. An
attempt was made 10 straighten it, but
without avail. Recently while playing
football against tho Yale freshman
team, playing all alone. we have been
Jed 10 believe. against eleven Yale nus
kies. young Roosevelt was kicked in
the nose.
oh, happy kick. It landed just right

do. II Strengthened out the injured
member and now an the Roosevelts are
happy.

Sutherland, il need only be said that
