How to Resist Old Age.

A chain is as weak as its weakest

This means that the body forces act
against some external stimulation and

The best developer of reaction is
cold-either cold air or cold baths.

How to Mend Table Linen.

A housewife whose table linen al
ways does her good service mends il
with embroidery cotton of a number
to correspond with the quality of the
CLOTH Under the ragged edges of the
tear she bastes piece of stiff paper
and makes a network of fine stitches
back and forth over it's edges. Thin
places and breaks in linen may run
with the fax or embroidery floss, and
towels should be mended in the same
way.

Cause and Cure of Gastric catarrh

Cause and Cure of Gastric Catarrh.
Chronic congestion of the stomach,
known as gastric catarrh, is usually
caused by one of the following errors,
or by all of them put together: Eat
ing too much or too fast; swallowing
food insufficiently masticated; the
use of such coarse foods as cabbage,
green's, etc.; mustard, peppersauce,
ginger and other condiments and
spices; pastry containing animal fats;
free fats. which lodge in the stomach
and remain there a long time; pork,
griddle cakes and burned fats-these
are the things that produce gastric
catarrh.
The first and most necessary step
in the treatment of this disease is to
remove the cause of the trouble. We
may induce activity of the skin by
hot applications followed by cold or
hot bath followed by short applica-
ton of cold; lamentations followed
by a short cold application to the
stomach. These treatments are use
full. but the most important factor is
the regulation of the diet. A fruit
diet is best, for the reason that in gas
trio catarrh there is great accumula-
ton of germs, which are destroyed by
fruit juice. A well-prepared diet of
toasted bread, zwieback, granose bis
cult, etc, is also useful in these
cases.

Some Chinese Baths.

A traveller in Mongolia writes:
There are some hot springs on the
road about twenty miles north of
Chingpeng. The place is named
Tangshan. The arrangements for
those anxious to benefit by their heal
ing properties are very primitive. A
row of twenty to thirty wooden boxes
the size of an ordinary packing case
is ranged beside the road. In these
sit bathers of every age and both
sexes, with their heads protruding.
Attendants with buckets continually
refill the boxes from the springs. Fol
less luxurious bathers there is accom-
mediation in a pool which has been
dug out close by. In this they squat,
scooping up the water and pouring 1t
over their heads with brass basins. 1t
is curious to reflect that establish
ments like Homburg and Aix-les-Bains
have had their origin in such begin
nings.'

Houses built of stone are durable
and warm, but they never should be
plastered directly on the stone. The
walls should be strapped and then
lathed and plastered, for if plastered
on the stone wall, the walls are al.
ways colder. especially in the winter
and the moisture in the rooms will
coHdense on the walls, making them
wet All brick, stone or concrete
walls should be strapped before being
lathed and plastered.
The walls should be 20 inches thick
for first story and 10 inches for sec
ond story. Mortar for laying stone
for such building may be composed
of one part of Portland cement to five
parts of sand.
The cost of stone work will depend
on the cost of material, where the
building is erected and the class of
stone work required. For plain rub
BILE work the usual price per cord is
fifteen dollars where cement is used
in making the mortar. Your walls
would cost 1920, estimating them at

TUBERCULOSIS In CHILDREN
Appalling Mortality Among the Little Ones Duo
to This Cause-Proper Attention Health of
Mothers Would Save Many Lives

The number of deaths due to tuber-
cuioSis is tremendous. When the word
is spoken one instinctively thinks of
pulmonary consumption. This is the
form which attacks adults and which
we see daily gathering in its victims.
There are other forms, however, more
common in children, that levy trib-
ute upon them without calling atten-
ton to the relationship between these
diseases and consumption of the
lungs.
DR.. jacob is authority for the state
m ent that Tuberculosis kills as many
people, old and young, as diphtheria,
Group, whooping cough, scarlatina,
measles and typhoid fever taken to-
gether." In all of our cities active
steps have been taken to protect the
IeOple from the above named dis
eases. Until quite recently, however,
a few years at most, nothing was done
to reduce the mortality from tuber-
culosis.
Now, however, the attention of the
world, the common people and the
health authorities, has been called to
its durability and preventability.
The causes, the modes of scatter
ing, and the prevention are all being
studied, and an educational campaign
is on to wipe out this white terror"
The children suffer from tubercu-
losis of the bones, the bowels and
1y mph glands. Tubercular meningitis
is frequently found in early life and is
uniformly fatal. Only by careful at
tertion to the food and daily habits
can the rising generation be made i'm
mune from these varied forms of tu-
terculosiS.
The fact that over one half of all
babies born die before they reach the
age of five years. proves that the CON
stitutional capital bequeathed them
Is small. Is the proper attention paid
to the diet. exercise and out-of-door
life. of the mother? If this were done,
the child would undoubtedly have
greater vitality and could by proper
care and education live above the tu-
berculosis of childhood and of adult
life.

An excellent and simple remedy
for cold feet is the application of cold
water. Step into the bathtub, let the
cold water run in little faster than
it runs out. Standing in the water,
rub one foot with the other, rapidly,
ten or twelve times Then change and
treat the other foot in the same man.
per. Keep up this alternate rubbing
for about three minutes. The feet
will have become very red, and as you
step out of the water, you will find
them burning and glowing with the
warm blood brought into them by this
means.
