Item. that Count.

There is one important fact that
should be indelibly fixed in the mind
of every thinking, reasoning being,
and that is that any physical derange-
ment, no matter how slight, leaves its
impress on the system, and that the
individual can never be exactly the
same as before. We know this is con-
trary to the opinion generally held, for
we frequently hear the remark made
concerning one who has recently
passed through a slight sickness:
THE doctor says he is as sound as a
bell now!" This is optimism, pure
and simple. on the part of the phys
ician, and it does good by establishing
confidence in the mind Of the whilom
patient; but, in reality, It is not so.
No disturbance of the normal course
of the functions can pass away and
leave things exactly as they were. A
permanent damage has been inflicted.
and although 1t is not appreciated At
the time, Nature is rigid bookkeeper.
and these apparently trifiing debts to
her are duly entered against the indi-
vidual, and you may rely upon 1t that
sooner or later the bill will be pre-
sented. 1t is the sum total of these
minor injuries that become formida-
ble-the accumulation of these trif-
ling arrangements that break down
constitutions ultimately.

NOBLE WORK DONE By G. AR.
Magnificent Organization IL First Among the
Brotherloods Of Men

The destinies Of the Grand Army
have been presided over by the truest
and the best From its very inception
the Grand Army Of the Republic was
destined to a great and noble work.
and to supply a place in the desires
of patriotic men that no other had
been able to do. The provision es-
chewing politics and religion and pro-
viding for the banding together under
the most sacred obligations to work
together for the defense of their coun-
woes. for the uplifting and betterment
of each other and those dependent
upon them, touched a responsive chord
in the heart OF every soldier who knew
by experience that every man who
signed such an obligation would be
true to it.
The plan for the organization of
posts in every hamlet, town and city,
and to unite them in departments in
every state. and once a year to meet

comradeship, that the post would sup
ply the place Of the soldiers regiment.

At the campfires of these meetings

when this thought first came to
our comrade his whole soul was filled
with the grand conception. Without
was devoted to the accomplishment OF
the grand desire. With a Patriotic
inspiration he saw clearly the great
goal to be attained. He felt that he
was erecting an altar upon which the
fire of love for the whole Union would
burn, and burn forever He saw with
prophetic vision the Star Spangled
Banner Of the nation-not a confeder-
alton of discredited states, but na-
TONS banner unfurled to the breeze;
and with fancy's ear he heard the
tramp of millions of soldiers of the
Grand Army as they gathered beneath
it to shield and defend it from every
EARN.
MY friends, how well he read the
future! His grand anticipations are
more than realized. The camp fires of
the Grand Army are burning from
ocean to ocean. Thousands and tens
of thousands of his brotherhood of
soldiers meet nightly in fraternal
greeting. The banner that he SO loved
is floating stainless and pure in God's S
bright sunshine, never again to be
soiled and torn by traitors hands.
Though not here to witness it, the
grand dream of his life has assumed
the proportions of a bright reality.
The note that he struck single-handed
is Illuminating an entire land. and at
the last is mingling its radiance over

friends to succor him in sickness and
misfortune and who would follow him
to the grave when he was finally mus
tered out. The ritual appealed SO
strongly to them that to-day, forty
years after the war, the Grand Army
of the Republic is many thousands
strong.
1t has borne upon its rolls more than
300, 900 ex-Union soldiers. 1t has ex-
pended thousands Of dollars in charity
for its members and their families. To
the Grand Army of the Republic more
than to any other order do the unfor-
tunate look for aid. If a comrade is
sick he sends to his post for sympathy
and help. If he seeks employment he
can rely upon his comrades to vouch
for him. He knows when the end comes
that he will be laid to rest by the
members of his post, and that stone
will mark his last resting place, and
that it will never be reared in pot
ter's field, and that each recurring
3Oth of May flowers will be strewn
above the low green mounds where
sleep the loyal dead.
1t is a curious fact that the genius
who was the author of so magnificent
an organization should have been in
his last days one Of the very un-
fortunates for whom he was SO solic-
itous in his halcyon days.

The highest honor of which they
dreamed in life is theirs whose graves
are strewn to-day with the flowers of
spring. The proud young nation
which they helped to save holds
them, and will ever hold them in CRATE

supreme reward. Theirs it is to be
cherished forever in the nations
heart.
And what Of the men who march
to-day! Their wavering footsteps, as
they follow the music of drum and fife,
their thinning ranks remind us that
they, too. soon will be the recipients,
not the instruments, OF the honors Of

The Inspiration of their deeds will
live when their dust has mingled with
their comrades and their very names

to the patient and family. His paper
was enthusiastically received and
adopted as the sense of the League ON

His points were as follows: First,

commonly believed.
Second-While communicable it can
be made practically harmless by the
proper course on the part of the

Third-The chief cause of the high
mortality is late diagnosis.

When a young woman's skirt and a

are leading sedentary lives or have
never learned to walk correctly. This
part OF the lower limbs should be kept
straight. and the ball of the foot, not
the heel, should touch the ground
first. When the head is bent for long
hours over sewing machine or ledger

his stiffness and awkwardness are the
direct results OF his self-conscious-
ness, should imagine that strong
string is attached to the upper part
of his chest and held by an invisible
hand above him. All he has to do is
to let his body depend from that
string and keep his head well back of

Tooth Brushes.

DR.. 8. H. Arnold gives some interest
ing facts and good advice In regard
to that daily friend, the tooth brush:
Nearly all brushes are made from
bristles taken from the wild hogs of
Russia or China. The handles are
common beef bones. They are made
mostly in Japan, France. England and
Germany, and by one firm in the
United States. Probably English
brushes are the best made and worst
shaped. The French are next in quail
ity, but far ahead in form. Germany
and Japan are generally imitators.
Some of the most expensive English
and French, and all American brushes,
are made in factories under more or
less sanitary conditions. but the cheap
er grades. including all German and
Japanese brushes, are made in the
huts Of the peasants, where cattle,
dogs, swine, fowls and humans are
herded In common. The bristles and
bcne are given out by the dealer and
taken into the country, where they are
assorted by the aged and young chill
dren and diseased persons, the strong
er members of the family working at
more remunerative employment.
These cheap brushes are often in
the most unsanitary and wretched sur.
roundings imaginable. and 1t is sig
nificant fact that after being made
they are seldom sterilized before
using.
The English brushes are generally
very much too large to be efficient
The French are better shaped, but are
apt to be too long of head. making
much waste to the brush, and are too
long of bristle.
A wide brush is not advisable be-
cause 1t limits the movement possibly
longitudinally to the tooth. Long bris-
bend when the brush is thrust back
between cheek and teeth. and stay
bent till the brush is Withdrawn, thus
missing the interproximal spaces SO
much in need of cleaning. Soft bris-
ties become softer when wet, and
utterly fail to enter the spaces at all.
II the surface of the bristles is con-
| caved longitudinally to At the labial
curve Of the teeth, then when the
brush is reversed and used on the lin
| gual surfaces, only the ends of the
brush engage the teeth; hence. more
teeth are missed than cleaned. and
the user is deceived into thinking he
has cleaned his teeth because he has
brushed them.
Studying the brush over and what is
required Of It. 1t would seem that the
brush best adapted to use in the hu.
man mouth should have short. mar.
