Some "Don'ts" About Dress.

Don't dress the neck too warm when
going out in cold weather A little
extra protection is required for the
ears, but it is not necessary to mufIle
up the neck with thick furs to protect
the ears. Warm wrappings about the
neck cause the skin of the neck to
become moistened with perspiration.
When the wrappings are removed in
doors, the slow cooling which takes
place in consequence of the evapora-
ton chills the part, and may produce
sore throat or nasal catarrh
Don't wear rubbers indoors, nor out
of doors, except when it is necessary
to prevent wetting the feet. Rubbers,
being impervious to air, prevent evap-
Grafton, so thnt the perspiration is re-
tanned, and the shoes and stockings
become damp from the perspiration.
When the rubbers are removed, evap-
Grafton chills the feet, the same as il
they had been wet by the rain or by
walking on wet pavement. On re-
moving the rubbers after they have
been worn for some time it is a good
precaution to remove the shoes and
stockings and put on dry ones. If this
cannot be conveniently done care
should be taken to keep the feet warm
until the shoes are dry. The rubbers
should be dried before wearing again.

How do You Eat?

1t is safe to say that modern cook
ing develops business for both the sa-
loonkeeper and the undertaken. When
a boy eats mustard plasters in the
form of food that is almost saturated
with fiery spices and irritating condi-
ments, thirst is created that nothing
but liquor or cigarets will satisfy. Man
is admonished to "eat for strength,
and not for drunkenness" but in these
days anything that will tickle the four
square inches of taste surface is con-
sidered good food, although it may
contain scarcely any of the elements
that nature requires to replace broken
down tissues and to rebuild the worn
out brain. AS consequence, the vi
tally and physical resistance soon
reach such low ebb that the individ-
ual falls an easy prey to any microbe
with which he may chance to come in
contact.

Child Labor in Factories.

The physician in attendance at a
municipal lodging house in Chicago
has within the past year been making
a careful inquiry into the history of
the tramps who have become the citys
guests. He hss found that a large
proportion of the tramps give history
of having been employed in factories
or in other facilitating occupations in
boyhood. Our artificial modern life
is making multitudes of human wrecks,
one class of whom is represented by
the homeless, friendless, disheartened
nen known as tramps. Fortunate, in
decd, are the boys and girls who live
in country homes and have the oppor-
tunity of growing up in contact with
nature.

A National Error,

Our cities are growing so rapidly
that only about one-half of our popula-
ton are now living in the country. DR..
Gould, speaking of the wrong of shut
ting men and women up in houses and
forcing them into sedentary occupa-
tons, says: There is enough land and
opportunity, if both were allowed and
utilized to give every human being a
livelihood that will permit life of a
normal length He adds, that with
proper hygienic living, especially in
youth, and with right lung expansion
and development, no person should
have tuberculosis.

Natural Cure for TubercuIosls.

A Swedish doctor some fourteen or
fifteen years ago succeeded, by a very
crude method. in curing patients who
have been given up to die. His prac-
tice was fist of all to rub the patient
three times a day with towel wet
in very cold water. A little later he
put the patient in a tub of water at
about 60 degrees, rubbing him vigor-
ously for about minute, and later, as
the patient became better able to
endure the cold water, he was plunged
into tub full OF ice water. This was
done three times a day. Think Of
those poor consumptives! Neverthe-
less they got we'll. The cold water,
with the rubbing following. produced

Home Sanitariums.

In New York city consumptives are
building little huts on the tops of the
houses, and are recovering. Outside
New York, Boston, and other large
cities, tent colonies, where consump-
tives can live out of doors, are being
established. Every city ought to have
outside it a camp where tubercular
patients can live and get well. The air
inside the city is not so good as it
is outside; but on the tops of the
houses, where the sun can shine, it
is great deal better than it is in the
damp, dirty buildings in which most
city people live.

Tent Life Cures Consumption.

A doctor in Denver some time ago
made some experiments with consump-
tives. A tent colony was established
a little way out of Denver, and the
patients progressed fairly well during
the first part of the winter. But by
and by there was blizzard, and the
thermometer went down to 20 degrees
below zero, and then they began to
improve very fast. One woman did
not seem to improve at all until the
temperature reached this mark, and
then she improved rapidly. She had
had no appetite, but that 20 degrees
below zero weather gave her an appe-
ute, which was an indication that the
body was beginning to work naturally,
that the assimilative processes were
being resumed, and from that time she
kept on improving.

In the winter of i902-3 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by severe at

quently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu-

three months there has never been the
slightest return of the old trouble. For
this happy result and my family freely
praise DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds of China township,
st. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr. Henry
Schroeppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted a great deal of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutary results in Mr.. Schroeppel's case,
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment."
1t is little wonder that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor in the com.
munity where Mr. Schroeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are so well and favorably
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful i'll curing
