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, a 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 a consequence, the vi"
tally and physical resistance soon
reach such low ebb that the indiyid-
ual falls an easy prey to any microbe
with which he may chance to come in
contact.

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 1t 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.

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-
tion chills the part, and may produce
sore throat or nasal catarrh.
Don't wear rubbers indoors, nor out
OF doors, except when 1t Is necessary
to prevent wetting the feet Rubbers,
being impervious to air prevent evap-
grafton, SO that 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 II
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 ii Is a good
precaution to remove the shoes and
stockings and put on dry ones. II 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.

A National Error.

Our cities are growing so rapidly
that only about onehalf 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-
tions, says: There is enough land and
opportunity, If both were allowed and
utilized, to give every human he4ig
livelihood thar 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.

Child Labor in Factories.

The physician in attendance at a
municipal lodging house in Chicago
mas within the past year been making
careful inquiry into the history OF
the tramps who have become the city's
guests. He has found that large
proportion of the tramps give history
of having been employed in factories
or in other facilitating occupations In

the homeless, friendless, disheartened

tunity of growing up in contact with

Helen Keller, who though blind and
deaf, is a college graduate and cul
tured young woman, writes in her
book, "My Key to Life" as follows:
1--WE have seen that the worlds phi
losophers--the savers of the word
are optimists; SO also are the men of
action and achievement-the doors of
the word. DR.. Howe found his way
to Laura Bridgman's soul because he
began with the belief that he could
reach it. English jurists had said that
the deaf-blind were idiots in the eyes
of the law. Behold what the optimist
does. He controyerts hard legal
axiom; he looks behind the dull, i'm
passive clay and sees a human soul
in bondage, and quietly, resolutely
sets about its deliverance. His efforts
are victorious.

Neither Liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach ADMINISTRATION
Mr., Stephenson Was Cured.

People with infiamed and aching
joints, or painful muscles; people who
shuttle about with the aid of cane or
crutch and cry, Oh at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, What is the best
thing for rheumatism
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex-
ternal applications is foolish waste OF
time. The seat of the disease is i'll the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease on the skin the poison
In the circulation is increasing.
Delays in adopting r sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once,
Mr.. Stephenson S experience with tins
obstinate and distressing affection Is
that of hundreds. He says:
"About year ago was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains Ill my LETT
shoulder. The pains were worse III wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. / tried number
of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the pains.
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only a surface in
dication. He adds

for rheumatism, and when | found that
was getting no relief from applications,
T made up my mind that ! would try
them. Before the first box was gone [

less frequent, and that they were not so
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up | was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
of rheumatism since.
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No.ll5
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the purlfl-
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures IN
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
druggists.

Natural Cure for Tuberculosis.


A Swedish doctor some fourteen or
fifteen years ago succeeded. by very
crude method in curing patients who
have been given up TO die. His prac-
tice was first of all to rub the patient
three times day with a 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 a minute, and later, as
the patient became better able to
endure the cold water, he was plunged
into a tub fun Of ice water. This was
done three times a day. Think Of
those poor consumptives! Neverthe-
less they got well. The cold water,
with the rubbing following, produced
such a powerful reaction that the
whole body was stimulated to In
creased vital activity and recovery fol-
lowed.
Here is another case: A young man
in New York who was getting ready
to go to the Klondike went into prac-
tice, to convince his friends that he
would not freeze to death. Out of
large buffalo robe he made a bag,
pitched a tent in the back yard and
slept in the tent in the buffalo bag, all
the winter, without suffering any In.

for men and women since the Creation!
She had reached fretful stage in her
analysis, and perchance might have
frightened herself with a sudden glimpse
of the truth, when a light knock on the
outer door caused her to wheel around
quickly in her chair.
"Kto tam?" (Who is there) she cried,
being able to speak a good many Russian
phrases. Then she bethought herself
Probably her father or brother had come
to see her. Come inl" she said; but
the words still trembled in the air when
the door opened.
An elderly man, clad in furs, a man
with piercing black eyes and long beard,
whose expression was at once stern and
benignant stood before her. The partl-
cles of ice glittering on his beard showed
that this unknown and most unexpected
visitor had not been in the house many
minutes. while his attire was that worn
bv all travellers who brave the elements
in winter, being an amalgam OF fur, felt
and leather.
Surprise kept her tongue tied. Err
mvntrude was not coward. 1t was not
fear, but sheer wonder, that was her
dominant emotion.
You are Lady Ermyntrude Grandi-
SOM" said the stranger, speaking in ex-
cellent English.
Yes" she cried, rising and facing him
He advanced a step toward her, but
did not attempt to close the door. Do
not be alarmed, l pray" he said. My
visit is untimely and unannounced, but
it was essential that l should see you to-
night, and although Prince Melnikoff
would have me thrown piecemeal to the
wolves by his Cossacks, did he know of
nv presence, | have dared to come to
you"
His words no less than his manner re-
assured her. Yet she resented the inn
piled condemnation of her lover. Prince
Melnikoff would permit no such fate to
overtake those who visited me without
i'll intent" she cried.
Child" he said, "you know not his
highness, nor yet the man who addresses
YOU"
What can your business be at this
hour? How is it that you come to my
rooms unannounced?
MY business is to preserve you from
one who is urging you to marry him
without delay l am here because the
tie that unites the Russian to his kins-
man is stronger than the allegiance of
German hirelings to their master"
Ermyntrude certainly was amazed
now. That this extraordinary visitor
should be able to roam at will through
the corridors of the palace was strange
enough but it transcribed all bounds of
probability that he should know of
Prince Boris's passionate declaration of
an hour earlier. The door yet remained
open Anyone passing outside would see
both her and the fur-wrapped man who
stood in the center of the room. She
ran past him, closed the door, but re-
tanned hold of the handle. He faced
her, but came no nearer.
You are brave" he said, land a
woman who is brave should be clear
sighted. Do you know why Prince Boris
wishes to marry your"
Because he loves me, she replied in
stantly, and there was ring OF pardon
