FAvoRs JOINT STATEHOOD.

The other day The Herald publish
ed an editorial from tne st. Louis
Globe Democrat 10 the effect that /,
was either joint statehood for New
Mexico and Arizona OF NO admission
and The Herald added that the quick.
er this was realized the better it
would be. as there is no likelihood
OF either New Mexico or Arizona be

A large share of the physical degen-
eracy that is increasing on every hand
may be traced directly to unworthy
eating of things never designed to be
eaten, and which no one would ever
think of eating except for the fact
that they momentarily give an agree
able sensation to the tongue and pal
ate. No thought or consideration Is
given to the possible effect of these
palate-tickling substances upon the
stomach after they have entered 1t. A
gentleman once said to the writer: II
eat mustard, pepper, and similar hot
substances because / like things that
give my palate twist" This gentle
man, with thousands of others like
him, quite overlooked the fact that
those things that twist" the palate
are equally able to twist" the stom-
ach, the liver, the nerves, the brain
and every organ and tissue with
which they come in contact in their
journey through the body.
An unperverted palate is wise and
ever wakeful sentinel, which says
| when he has taken a sufficient amount
of nutrient material to meet the pres
ent requirements of the body,
The palate was given man, not as
an instrument of pleasure, but as a
guide whereby he might select in
proper quantities food substances of
the quality suited to his needs The
debasement of this function to the
ends of pleasure is the beginning of a
prostitution of the body which ends
only in abandonment to the grossest
forms of self-indulgence, and tends to
premature exhaustion of the vital re-
sources, early decay Of the body's
forces and ignominious death; for no
death can be considered honorable
which is the direct consequence of
ones own acts, or suicide. Said an
eminent French writer, MAN does not
die; he kills himself"

seasonahle Clothlna.

More clothing is, of course, neces-
sary in winter than in summer but
the difference in the amount of cloth.
ing required is less than the differ
ence in temperature. We are all con-
scious that We suffer more from a tenn.
perature of forty in the summer than
from much lower temperature in the
winter. This is due to the fact that
the system undergoes a change with
the season, by which 1t adapts itself
to the new conditions. This change
produces what is termed a winter
constitution" for winter, and sum.
mer constitution" for summer.
The winter constitution is well
adapted to resist cold; while the sum.
mer constitution is prepared to resist
heat. Consequently, the reverse OF
the conditions for which the body is
prepared is severely felt.
On this account, we need more
clothing in summer than in winter, at
the same temperature. The custom
of putting off and resuming winter
| or summer clothes at certain dates Is
pernicious one.
| In cold weather the underclothing
| should reach to wrists and ankles.
| The feet should be protected with
thick, warm shoes with tops high
enough to provide extra protection
for the ankles, which are easily
chilled. having less tissue than other
| parts of the legs.
In winter several suits of under
| garments afford more warmth than
| the same weight or thickness in a
| single garment; as the warmth of q
| garment is due, not so much to its
thickness, as to the amount of air
which is entangled in the meshes OF
between its layers. An extra suit OF
| flannel affords almost as much
warmth as an extra coat or cloak, and
is both cheaper and less cumbersome
| A change from warm to cold weather
| or the reverse at any season of the
year, should always be met by cor
responding change in clothing. OBJ
servance of this rule will amply repay
the slight trouble involved, in the say
| ing of sickness and consequent ex'
pense and lots of time.

Really Mans Superior.

MANY a woman in her secret soul
knows that, although she may be diff
ferent from her husband and inferior
in matters of secondary importance,
yet she is as good being as he is.
and, perhaps, in the nobler traits Of
character, really his superior. Still
all she has to submit to his domino
ton on the false and hollow supposi-
ton of ner inferiority. Occasionally
the husband will excel the wife in
tellectually, but this does not prove
her to be an inferior being. On the
contrary" says Gen. Booth, "go back
to the beginning of her life, and she
will not be far behind him, even If
she is not fully his equal in this re-
sDect
