You are right, captain, and | compli-
ment you on your cooperation. The
officers are notified and the fight will
be prevented"
The sun had not thought about shin
ing upon Merrie England when the
captain left his couch on Tuesday
morning. Like a thoughtful husband
he put on his clothes quietly so as not
to disturb Mrs. Crabbe's matutinal
slumbers and putting an odd looking
package in his pocket sailed out. If
it was the captains purpose to aid in
the prevention of the fight he went
about it in an odd fashion. Every
body in Henley knows that the short
est way to Oldham's Woods is past
the mill and over the footbridge going
due south. The captain bent his way
due north. He crossed the Spring
Farm, toiled through the bracken, be-
coming dew sodden, and then veered
into a sequestered vale surrounded by
woodland.
He was not the only one in the vale.
Some hundred rough looking men
were there and there was ring being
roped off.

Holdham's Woods by now" muttered
the captain, taking deep interest in
the proceedings.
When the brawny champions en-
tered the ring the captain had no diff
Guilty in getting an excellent position
to view the fight. In fact, he seemed
marvelously familiar with the whole
proceedings and spoke to one or two
| sportive looking men by their first
names, being Familiarity addressed by

Greatly relieved to see that none of
Hemley's citizens were present, the
captain gave himself up heart and
soul to the fight The Sheffield Game

start and handled the Kid as he

The Kid then dealt the Gamecock a

Tender.Hearted savages.

One of the most anomalous features
of our Christian civilization is the
slaughter house, especially the abat-
toirs of our great cities, where veri-
table torrents of blood perpetually
flow. the ebbing life Of millions OF in
nocents which die that man may feast.
Indians are not noted for being
over-sensitive; and particularly de-
spise any exhibition of weakness. The
interior of slaughter-house, however,
is said to have proved too much for
their powers of self-control. The Chi
cago Record states that "a party OF
fifteen Blackfoot Indians recently Wis
tied the killing room OF Armours
plant. One tainted, three more were
i'll. the rest covered up their eyes
They were hurried out of the place
into the fresh air.

The Ohio customer has a farm near

Soon afterward he had the tree felled

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 Tor
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. For
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 II
over their heads with brass basins. IL
is curious to reflect that establish
ments like Homburg and Aix-les-Balns
have had their origin in such begin
nings."

been the subject of wonder, alternat-
ing in admiration and denunciation.
for the last $50 years. There have
been epidemics of interest in the dow
ser and his strange operations many
times, and, in between, periods OF
years when nothing has been heard
about the subject. But the finding of
wells of sweet water by the aid OF
forked sticks has been going on all
this time without interruption.
1t is no exaggeration to say that the
agricultural population of the world.
particularly in Great Britain, Europe
and in parts of western America, has
been saved millions of dollars of need
less expense by the advice of the
humble dowser.

Statesmen Born in 1918.

With the death of Mr.. Boutwell,
passes the last of the seven governors
of Massachusetts, who were born in
1918. The others were: William Olaf
lin. born at Milford March 6; John AL
bion Andrew, born at Windham, Me-,
May 81; Henry Joseph Gardner, born
at Dorchester June Ia Alexander
Hamilton Rice, born at Newton Aug.
80: Thomas Talbot, born at Cam
bridge, n. Y, Sept Z, and Benjamin
Franklin Butler, born at Deerfeld, N.
H., Nov. 5. AS Mr.. Boutwell, was born
in January, it will be seen that only
February, April, July, October and De-
cember of 1918 failed to give birth to a
Massachusetts governor.

The number of deaths due to tuber-
culosis 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
Leople from the above named dis
eases. Until quite recently, however,
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
it's 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
lymph glands. Tubercular meningitis
is frequently found in early life and Is
uniformly fatal. Only by careful at
| tention 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.

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,
eriddle 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
NAV induce activity of the skin by
hot applications followed by cold or
hot bath followed by a short applica-
ton of cold; lamentations followed
by a short cold application to the
stomach. These treatments are USE
FIJI 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 Dis
cult. etc., is also useful in these
cases.

A Cure for Cold Feet.

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
ner. 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.
