Appetite Juice.

The taking of food into the mouth
is signal to all the digestive organs
to prepare for work. Even the sight
flow of saliva, and at the same time
the gastric juice pours into the stom-
ach.
Pawlow, of ST. Petersburg. in cx-
periments upon a dog, observed that
when food was introduced into the
animals stomach through an opening
made for the purpose II, was not acted
upon; the digestive juice was not
poured out. and the stomach appar-
an hour. On the other hand, when the
animal was allowed to see and smell
the food, the saliva and the gastric
Juice poured forth abundantly, even
though the animal did not actually
taste a morsel. 1t is important that
the food should be retained in the
mouth for a sufficient length of time
to make the proper impression upon
the nerves of taste, so that the entire
digestive apparatus shall be thorough
ly prepared to carry the food sub
stances through the successive steps
of the digestive process.
The thorough chewing of the food
produces an abundance OF what Paw
low calls Appetite Juice" which is
the best and most important juice
formed BY the stomach. Hence food
must be well relished, and eaten with
careful attention to very thorough
mastication.

The "coId Air Cure"

Cold air purifies the blood, ener-
gizes the heart, puts new vim into
the muscles, helps the stomach, wakes
up the liver, lifts the whole being to
a higher plane of life.
The most successful consumption
resort in the world is Davos, a winter
resort in the Swiss Alps, near the En-
gadine, where the snow is six feet
deep and the temperature close to
zero all winter. Every winter hun
dreds of tubercular patients from all
parts of the world resort to Davos to
take the cold air cure"
Cold air cures (there Is no doubt
about it,, when accompanied by wise
and skillful management, and careful
regulation of diet. In the summer
season this great healing force is
available only in small measure by
means of cold baths, ice rubs, and
fans; but in the winter season, the
keen frosty air is everywhere, ready
to be put to work as the great uplift-
ing power it is when rightly applied.
The winter season alone provides
continuous tonic conditions. The
dense air, containing from one-eighth
to one-fourth more oxygen than mid
summer, stimulates all the vital pro-
cesses to higher degree of activity.
Here is a healing force which is in
operation day and night, and steadily
lifts the patient up to higher level
until the ebblng tide of life turns
backward, and renovating forces of
the body resume their activities with
all tie old-time vigor.

Real Healing Agents.

There are many fictitious remedies.
Some make a man feel better when
he is really getting worse. The most
valuable measures which can be en-
ployed in dealing with the sick may
be said to be baths, exercise and diet.
The chronic invalid can be made well
only by being reconstructed. The
sick man must be transformed into a
healthy man by a process of gradual
change. He has been months or years
in tearing down his constitution and
substituting an inferior grade of ma
terial Now this process must be re-
versed. and little by little, the old tbs.
Sues must be torn down and new tis-
sues built in their place.
Warm baths help throw off stored
up poisons. and cold baths hasten the
destruction of waste tissues, increase
the activity of the heart and of all the
organs. encourage the formation of
the digestive fluids, and increase the
appetite for food.
BY means of exercise the movement
of the blood is quickened and the old
diseased tissues are broken down and
carried out of the body. Exercise al
ways diminishes weight. BY exercise
a normal appetite is earned and deep
breathing encouraged.
Pure simple food is the proper ma.
terial with which to construct a new
and healthy body. Man is built of
what he eats. The house is no better
than the material. Thus baths, exer-
else. and a natural dietary constitute
curative trio. each helping the other.

THE FRENCH NAVY.
To Nc Made a. strong rs the Nav
of tho Triple Alliance.

of the Triple Alliance.
During the recent debate ON tho
French naval estimate NJ. Charles Bos
warned the chamber OF deputies not to
be led into estimating the lighting value
OF the navy by its numerical strength.
After suppressing most OF the vessels
constructed before 1891, which could
NO longer be regarded as having any
real value, the situation OF the navy
was, he said, becoming a precarious
one in view Of the more rapid progress
made by other countries, and it was
/ therefore absolutely necessary to re-
place these units as soon as they had
become obsolete. NJ. Thomson, the
minister OF marine seemed disposed to
include the new vessels, TO replace
those going OFT OF service, in the pro-
gramme OF constructions to DC intro
duced next year. NJ. de Lanessan.
however. is Of the opinion that IL would
be preferable to bring the navy up to
its full numerical strength independ-
emily OF the programme, and he has
just introduced bill for the construc-
ton OF number OF vessels, which are
TO be started upon during the present
year. The bill provides for the build
Ing OF six battleships of an identical
type to form homogeneous squadron,
and three armored cruisers to consti-
tute homogeneous division, as well as
six destroyers. eight torpedo boats and
number of submersibles and subma-
rines TO be fixed by the conseil supe-
! rieur de la marine.
In its general lines the bill merely
confirms the estimates for construc-
tons recently voted except as regards
the addition of n number of smaller
craft. The squadron battleships and
armored cruisers have already been
authorized by parliament, but the de-
stroyers and torpedo boats, although
provided for under the 1000 programme.
were not included in the 1905 budget.
Inc Dill, therefore, will not entail any
considerable addition to the expendi-
ture recently voted.
The aim OF NJ. de Lanessan IL to start
upon the construction OF these vessels
In the present year and to insure that
the vessels forming complete SQUAD
rons shall be built to exactly the same
type, for which purpose a clause Is in
serted in the bill to the effect that the
these
vessels are to figure in the law author
izinS their construction and that no
subsequent changes can be carried out
unless sanctioned by new law. In
the preamble to his bill VI. de I.anessan
says that in 1908 France Will possess
twenty-eiSht first class battleships. of
which six were launched between, 1875
and 1889, and with these vessels II will
only be possible to compose two SQUAD
rons of six battleships. One of them
viii not even be homogeneous. At the
same time England will have ffty-two
first class battleships, all launched
since 1891, while Germany will have
twenty-five. The former minister of
the marine says that there is no reason
nor trying TO rival England in the num-
Der OF ships under construction. but
France cannot afford TO allow herself
to be outdistanced by Germany and
must be capable OF more than holding
her own against the combined naval
forces Of the triple alllance.-London

Consul General Bray reports from

fish starlings introduced from Great
Britain for the destruction OF insects
and protected by law have changed
their habits and have become a pest to
orchardists.
The few pairs brought into the state
have increased TO myriads and have
become SO destructive to the fruit in
dustry that the regulations framed for
their protection have been repealed
and steps are advocated for their eradi-
cation.
The fruit destroyed by them includes
peaches, pears. cherries, figs. aprlcots,
piums. grapes, Strawberries and APP
pies. From many districts reports
come that fruit growing VIII have to
be given up unless some radical steps
are taken.
Insect eating birds. such as king
fishers. diamond birds, tree swallows
and tree creepers. are driven out of
their nesting places by starfings, and
before long these birds will be driven
out Of the state.
