Skin Training.

An enormous amount of time IL de-
voted to the training of the hand, the
eye, and the brain, but the training Of
the skin is Beldom thought of. Never
theless, we'll trained skin is more
essential to health than almcst any
other kind Of bodily culture. The neg

keep his skin In thoroughly healthy
condition may defy almost any known
disease. The experienced horseman
knows very well the Importance Of at

A healthy skin is warm, slightly

perspires readily under exercise or the
application of heat, and is free from
pimples, eruptions and discolorations.
To maintain this condition, the skin
must be subjected to daily bathing and
grooming. Horsemen rub and groom

PENsIoNlNe THE AGED.
What the French Government Has
Done in the Matter.


THE aged are generally held in re-
spect, but not more so than in the
United States" So says United States
Consul General Gowdy at Paris in a
report in regard to the care of the
aged in France. For more than half
a century the French government has
been experimenting with schemes for
pensioning the aged, but not with en-
tire success. The law now in force,
which was adopted in 1895, is not al
together satisfactory and will probably
be amended in the near future.
At the present time deposits are re-
ceived IRON any person. regardless of
age, but the amount may not exceed
500 francs ($96.50) in the course Of q
year. An account may be opened for
child three years of age; married
woman may deposit money without
her husbands consent. AT any age
between fifty and sixty-fve (or earlier
n case of permanent disability to
work) the depositor may claim his an.
nuity. which is calculated according
to the amount of his deposit and in
terest and the probabilities of life, but
the annuity may not exceed 1900
francs ($231.5O).
In rural districts the tax gatherer
is empowered to receive deposits, and
an many factories certain percentage
is deducted from the wages and paid
to the Caisse in the .workman's name.
A branch of the Caisse may be
founded in any town or village, with
the permission of the project of the
department. and there are about 1900
of such branches, with nearly $4,000
depositors.

Use Of Tobacco BY Mlnor..

The use of tobacco by children, Its
causes and prevention is discussed
IN the Medical Summary.
Whilst most states have laws forbid
ding the sale of tobacco to minors, it
is a notorious fact that such laws are
universally ignored. The parent,
teacher and physician are to blame.
The parent, that he does not thor
oughly train his child; the teacher,
that he does not better supervise the
conduct Of his pupils; the doctor, in
that he does not warn the parent,
who perhaps errs himself.
School boys may be seen any day
on their way to school with books un-
der their arms, and chew of tobacco
or cigarette in their mouths. Oc-
casionally little girls may be observed
indulging in the seductive cigarette
on the streets. What will be the In
evitable results? The best that could
be hoped would be numerous tobacco
users. but worse might be feared, and
very much worse imagined.
The evil Is evident, and the remedy
is provided, but law is useless till en-
forced on violation. The dealer will
not obey 1t till public sentiment de-
mands 1t; the child does not choose to
submit to it; the parent is negligent;
the pupil is Indifferent or silent; and
what is left for the ehild's salvation
but action upon the part of the guard
fans of humanity. II we act, we move
thankless. The parent will not appre-
ciate; the dealer will be made an
enemy: and the children will hate us
as they become men. Pastor and
priest, lawyer and laymen will sneer
II we attempt to enforce the laws.
Even but few of our own body poll.
tic may be depended upon to act, eth
er by precept or concerted movement.
Few physicians are even good enough
politicians to ask a councilman or rep
resentative to vote upon a measure.
The effort against the evil is necessa-
rily. for the time, along the lines of
individual effort. To do good, we
must practice, act, and preach. II
our smoking" friends will close their
eyes while putting pipe or cigar, they
will ind they cannot tell when they
have fire." What foolishness, to
spend money and waste health to
watch smoke curl. Horace Greeley de-
fined cigar as "a roll of tobacco with
flre 1t one end and fool at the 9TH
err" and we think him more than
half right. II the use of tobacco by
the adult be such idiocy, what shall
we say of its consumption by the
minor?

AGAINST CONSUMPTION
Why Fight II.
Warfare

Tae Charity Organization Society of
new York. in a handbook on the pre-
ventson OF tuberculosis. encourages
the active campaign against this great
plague and gives a concise summary
OF Why" the battle should be waged.
Because more people die OF con-
sumption than from any other dis
ease.
Each year 1905. 900 of the people of
tne world die Of 1t. In the United
states over 100000 die every year of
consumption. Every day 1000, and
each minute Of the day two persons
fan before this enemy. How many Of
yonr friends have died of it:
\ because It Is disease which
spreads from one person 70 another.
ana any one may catch 1t.
Because 1t is chiefly caused by the
nlthy hsbit Of splitting,
Because 1t is a disease which can be
stopped, and need not spread.
Because every one may and should
help stop it.
Because already there is change for
the better. The number OF deaths
from consumption is growing less
twenty years ago there were many
more deaths in proportion to the pop
ulation than now.
II the tuberculosis death rate of 1886
mad been maintained the first nine
months Of 1902, four thousand more
persons in Manhattan and the Bronx
would have died of tuberculosis than
actually died in these months.
Could anything be found more in
spring, more plainly indicative of the
need for extending the work against
this disease?

A conscientious, hard-working and
eminently successful clergyman
writes: Il am glad to bear testimony
TO the pleasure and increased meas
ure Of efficiency and health that have
come to me from adopting Grape Nuts
food as one of my articles of diet
For several years l was much dis
tressed during the early part of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast,
usually consisting of oatmeal, milk
and eggs. seemed to turn sour and
failed to digest. After dinner the
headache and other symptoms follow
Ing the breakfast would wear away,
only to return, however, next morn
ing.
Having heard of Grape-Nuts food,
l finally concluded to give it a fair
trial. quit the use of oatmeal and
eggs, and made my breakfasts of
Grape-Nuts, cream, toast and Postum.
The result was surprising In improv-
ed health and total absence of the
distress that had, for so long time,
followed the morning meal. NV diges-
lon became once more satisfactory.
the headaches ceased, and the old
feeling OF energy returned. Since that
time. four years ago. l have always
had Grape'Nuts food on my breakfast
table.

whereas before | began to use Grape
Nuts food | was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearied in the work Of
preparing sermons and in study. q

resulted from the change in my diet.

produced this result and helped me

The cas- OF Adolph Heck, who was
charged with assault and battery
with intent to do bodily harm, was
finished Saturday evening. Several
witnesses were brought out on either
side. Preston & Hannett appeared

for the plaintiff, Ernest Endreas, the
young man whom Heck assaulted at
a bowery dance in Rome township
last July. After the court delivered
the charge tae jury retired and in
less than two hours they had reached
a verdict, which was presented q
short time after supper. The YER

battery, leaving off the intent to do
bodily harm.
This afternoon Heck was taken be-

and the jury was given a recess. The
attorneys statement was to the
effect that the court direct a verdict
for the plaintiff, for which he pre-
sented several reasons, pri ncipal
among which was that Pearl Lord,
In crossing the street, did not use
diligence and caution for her pre-
sonal welfare in looking for danger;
that by reason Of such ~carelessness
she was guilty of contributory negli-
gence; that they failed to prove that
any money had been expended for
medical aid.
In reply Attorney Wilmarth held
that the young lady was not negli-
gent in her walking across the street,
and that 1t would have been impos-
sible for her to have determined ssthe
course taken by Mr.. Beckwith when
she was half way across the street.
In passing on the question the court
denied the motion Of Attorney Pres
ton, and ordered that the case pro-
