Foot Prints of Alcohol.

Employers find that those addicted
to the use of alcoholic beverages are
not to be depended on. Even il they
are always at their work the charac-
ter of it suffers just in proportion to
their indulgence. Now this condition
is only sign of disease in certain con-
trolling centers in the nervous sys-
TEN. In this simple condition, as well
as in multitude of other diseases of
the nervous system, we may trace the
footprints of alcohol. Here we have
an explanation of the overcrowded in
sane asylums Of to-day, to say nothing
of the army of sufferers at large. Sta
tistics from France and other Euro
pean countries show that the increase
of insanity is parallel with the increase
in the consumption of alcohol per cap.

The Tables Turned.

Former Judge Henry E. Rowland is
one who was trained in what Mr.
Hedges calls the "old school, of after
dinner oratory, but his listeners never
suffer from a longing to hear his
peroration. 1t was Judge Rowland
who so effectively replied to Senator
Depew's gibe that the Rowland jokes
were poisonous and insidious, by an
insinuation that Mr.. Depews jests
were overwell preserved. He applied
to Mr.. Depew the story of the young
woman who was advised to boil her
drinking water in order to kill the
microbes, and said: Really, doctor,
I'd rather be an aquarium than
morgue. 1.-THE After Dinner Speak

An Ex-Sheriff Talks,

of cures of the most deadly of kidney

disease that is of the kidneys or caus-
ed by disordered kidneys is readily
cured by this great American remedy.
But it is in curing the earlier stages

work. They are preventing thousands

We have tried many kidney medicines
but Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best

Niqht Air and CONSUMPTION.

The old fallacy that night air is a
dangerous miasm it not yet dead.
Much has been said about fresh air,
outdoor life and sunshine for tubercu-
losis. Many victims have experienced
the healing power in these natural
agencies. But too often the consump-
tive, after a day in the sunshine or
III the cold, crisp winter air, retires
for nights sleep in dark, stuffy,
alright room. Don't be afraid of
night air.
Open the bedroom to all the sun
possible during the day. The room
will then be dry, though cold. Damp
ness is dangerous and more apt to oc-
cur in closed than in wide-open
room. Keep at least one window in
the bedroom open day and night, sum-
mer and winter. The door should shut
the chamber off from the rest of the
house, In the morning the patient
should be taken quickly into a warm
room for the cold sponge bath.

Daily Exercise.


Clerks, bookkeepers and thousands
of other indoor workers suffer from
the lack of pure air and muscular ex-
ercise. If an attempt is made to De
gin systematic exercise, or an hour or
so is spent in digging or chopplng
wood, undue soreness and fatigue are
produced This disagreeable result
often stops the experiment. Instead
of discouraging the trial, the very
soreness should point out the great
need of the body.
II the work were persisted in and
gradually increased the stiffness would
soon disappear, and leave in its place
general feeling of increased yigor.
The nerves are strengthened and the
bodily activities quickened. The et-
feet Is not alone on the muscles used,
but upon each organ. The blood is
purified and the digestion strength
ened.
The effects of a prolonged sedentary
life are overcome only by working off
the accumulated poisons and creating
an appetite for new pure food. This is
built up in the body, and thus the
whole man is renewed.
Exercise must be carefully increased
and adapted to the individual muscu-
lar strength. The weakest muscles
must be brought up to the standard
of the others.
For feeble persons who are not
able to do the desired work, massage,
Swedish movements and mechanical
exercises should be employed.
For more robust persons, walking,
horseback riding, rowing, bicycle rid
Ing and especially swimming are to be
recommended.

How to Have a Clear Head.

The man who desires to have clear
head, brain keenly alive to the
subtle influences of the universe about
him, alert to respond to every call
made upon it by the bodily organs I'M
der its upervision-ready to receive
impressions from the infinite Source
of universal thought, and capable of
thinking the high thoughts of God
after Him, must live simply, abstemi-
ously, naturally, and must avoid every
harmful and inferior food. He will
select the choicest foodstuffs. These
consist of fruits, nuts, dextrinized
grains--that is, well toasted grain
preparations, toasted bread, toasted
wheat flakes, etc. He will eat spar
ingly, never to repletion. He will
exercise out of doors at least two or
three hours daily, living as much of
the time as possible in the open air.
He will sleep eight hours at night.
He will take vigorous cold bath
every morning on rising and will take
at least two or three times a week,
warm, cleansing bath, just before
going to bed at night. He will con-
serve for useful work every energy
of mind and body. He will endeavor
to live righteously in the largest sense
of the word.

$FOR HEALTHY AND LONG LIFE
I Simple Rules. the Observance OF "hch WIN -e"'ie 8
Capacity for Work and Pleasure


consumption are very rare. The real
reason why so many in family suf-
fer from tuberculosis is to be found
elsewhere than in heredity
The afflicted member does not know
the necessity for personal cleanliness,
for religiously collecting and burning
all matter spit up. The use of the
ordinary pocket handkerchief and the
washing of it in the family laundry
is constant source Of danger. Rice
paper handkerchiefs or old linen
should be used and then burned.
The person himself is almost harm
less II is only the lack of care in
scattering the genus that makes him
dangerous companion. These bad
practices are usually due to ignorance.
1t is not necessary to isolate the pa
tient for the protection of the family.
Each person not affected should
breathe fresh air, exercise out OF
doors, eat simple food, battle daily
and sleep eight hours each night.
This will increase the body's vital
power and resist the deadly genus
which may be breathed in. The rest
of the family being thus fortified, the
patient should cooperate in the pro-
lection.
Let him study to prevent the germs
from being scattered broadcast
through the house. Then let all CO.
operate in the fresh air cure of the
patient, and he may live in peace and
pleasure, gradually fighting his way
back to health, and in no way dan
gerous to his friends.
When every consumptive intelli-
gently co-operates with the family
and physician, the day of Inherited

Self-Consciousness and Genius.

Anything like self-consciousness is
impossible in the supreme operation
of genius" writes Henry M. Alden in
Harper's Magazine for February. ''lf
the creator becomes, soon or late, the
cynosure of all eyes, the recognition
and response accorded him are in
evitable but incidental. He has Gre
ated a world whose wonders are the
delight of all who behold, and when
he has created it he may himself see
that it is good. 1t is the veil of his
personalities only true revelation
Also 1t is in that world he hides, as
God is hidden in His creation. The
actual facts of his life, his individual
opinions and habits, are to another
generation Insignificant except to idle
curiosity"

WILD LIFE In AFRICA
DANGER AND ANNOYANCE TO
TRAVELLERS.
Python INDUCES Abnormal Appetite
at the Expense of Tethered Goats
Hyena at Once a Pest and a Most
Arrant Coward.

During several years spent in Cen
tral Africa we were for the greater
part of the time dependent on goats
for our fresh milk supply" writes a
returned traveller The goat kraal
was made very strong, proof against
lions, leopards and other carnivora,
but python entered between the
poles-though they were spaced three
inches apart-one night, Killed all the
goats in the compartment by strang-
ling them, swallowed two and was
found gorged, sluggish and self
trapped within the kraal in the morn
ing. The swellings of his body where
the two goats were prevented him
from escaping between the palings, as
he had come in. To look at the snakes
small head and slender neck, it
seemed impossible for him to swallow
anything larger than rat, but by dis
locating his jaw and stretching his
skin he accomplished the apparently
impossible feat of gastronomy. The
goats were cut out of him intact by
our boys who evidently considered
that premature burial in the python
did not affect the edible qualities of
the meat, as within half an hour it
was all roasted and eaten!
Another pest about a station is the
hyena. Lions and leopards do lot
of damage, but their skins, if they are
shot or trapped, are some compensa-
tion for the loss they cause. The aver
age settler, be he farmer, trader or Of
fetal, rather welcomes their presence
near his camp for the sake of the ex-
element which they afford, and very
few men would hesitate to sacrifice
a bullock or several head of goats or
sheep for the sake of bagging lion
But the skin of the hyena is worth
less and there is no credit whatever in
shooting him, as he is an arrant cow
ard. He makes the night hideous with
his bowls and in the dark he is very
daring and will enter compounds and
huts and carry off almost anything.
Nothing is too old or tough for him;
horns, skins, old boots, anything, is
grist to his mill.
HE is death to sleeping dogs, no
matter how big or strong they are,
and he has keener jaws than any other
of the carnivora. We used to set
traps for hyenas round the station--a
skull or a piece of rotten meat tied
to the muzzle of a gun, the trigger
being fixed to pin in the ground The
setting of one or two of these traps
gives one something to do, and there
Is a pleasurable feeling of expectation
waiting for the bang of the gun after
dinner. Sometimes leopard comes to
the trap, but oftener miserable ma
tive cur from the nearest village

The majority of people never stop
to think that the stomach is anything
more than a receptacle for things that
have been chewed. They get hold OF
something that tastes good and swal-
low it into the stomach to get it out
of the way, SO there will be room for
something more. That might be all
right if the stomach were garbage

emptied but nature intends the stom-
ach for another purpose. We are
constructed of what we eat. We should
stop to think of that We should be
careful what we swallow, for 1t be-

If we are to have good blood, clear

The Only Safeguard Against Tubercu
Ioeie

tuberculosis is a low-level disease.
People are not subject to it until their
bodies have become weakened and
their whole constitution undermined.
1t used to be thought that one could
not have tuberculosis if only he ex-
ercised his lungs. A man who had
this disease went to a professor in
Vienna for advice. The professor
said, "You had better get horn and
learn to play it, to exercise your
lungs" Alas, professor, answered
the man, Il am band master now"
To live a natural life is the only
safeguard against tuberculosis. One
climate may do as we'll as another If
only you live out of doors, get plenty
of cold, fresh air, battle the body with
cold water daily, eat simple, nutri-
tious food and take as much exercise
as possible without exhausting the
body.

Mourn for the Rose!
The Rose who left her vernal halls I'M

And fronting all the winds with bosom
bare
Was overthrown!
Mourn for the Past!

bright;
The Dawn, the Noon, before we felt the

That brings the Night
The temple falls,
And the bird buideth in the ruined
tower;
And We who once were strong, are crum-
bling fast

Resumes its morning. What is past Is

Ay, even Time if Hebrew sons be true,
Must die at last.
