1t Is not the business Of the press
to prescribe for the sick, but 1t is its
business to educate the people along
the lines Of health. let's see In or
der to live we must have food, water,
air, sun, sleep, clothes.' AS to food !:
We eat too much. Medical men say
nearly all the Ills flesh is heir to come
from over-eating. Make the bulk of
your eating small and leave out luxu-
ries Simple food and small quantities
Is the rule. AS to water: Not one
person In thousand drinks sufficient
water. Not less than two quarts a day
Is necessary. The water should be
pure. Dilute your food. Give diges-
tion and assimilation a chance. Flush
the sewers Of the body. What happens
when the sanitary sewers of city are
clogged? AS to air: Most persons
breathe with only half their lungs Men
and women go for weeks and months
without taking a dozen filings of the
lungs with oxygen. Half the cells Of
the lungs are unused day after day.
Do you wonder at so much tuberculo-
sis? The chief wonder is that the
White Plague" does not have twice its
victims. Take at least a dozen conse-
cutive filings Of the lungs every day,
sending the diaphragm down as far as
1t will go each time. If you will do
that you will never die of consumption.
AS to the sun: Medical science is lust
beginning to find out the vitalizing
powers of sunshine. You must have
electricity to run your dynamo of vi
tality. Get 1t from the sun. Even If
you are delicate do not fear the sun.
1t is one of your best friends. The
old Persian sun worshipers did not
miss it so badly. AS to sleep: Sleep
until you are rested, that's all. When
you cut off natures sweet restorer"
you are using. up vitality faster than
you make it. For the normal person
eight hours Is about right. Napoleon
got along on four, but Napoleon was
an exception. And as to clothes-use
good common sense. Good health is
easily had unless you prefer suffering
to a little self denial. If you will
eat simple food sparingly, drink plenty
Of pure water daily, breathe with all
your lungs, take sun bath at every
chance, sleep eight hours and wear SEN
sible clothing you should live-barring
accidents-to n rich old age.

While corruption has been wide
spread, it has not been universal. A
large and saving part Of the commm-
ity is honest and honorable. Social
progress is only sure and lasting when
the average citizen Is ripe for 1t. That
our citizens are alive to the dangers
threatening our social and political life
and are bravely attempting to avert
those dangers Is the best guarantee we
can have that, at heart, the nation is
sound, honest, self-respecting and able
to purge itself of corruption.

MILEAGE OF THE HUMAN BLOOD
One Little Red CorpuscIe May Travel
| 16S Miles in a Single DIV.

one Little Red CorpuscIe May Travel
16S Miles in n Single Day.
The speed at which the blood circu-
lates In the veins and arteries of n
healthy man Is something surprising.
All day long, year in and year out, the
round trips continue from the heart to
the extremities and back again. The
red blood corpuscles travel like boats in
stream, going to this or that station
for such service as they have to per-
FORM; and the white corpuscles, the
phagocytes, dart hither and thither like
patrol boats, ready to arrest any con-
traband cargo of disease germs.
The mileage of the blood circulation
reveals some astounding facts in our
personal history. Thus it has been cal
culated that assuming the heart to
beat sixty-nine times q minute at ordI-
nary heart pressure, the blood goes at
the rate Of two hundred and seven
yards In the minute, or seven miles per
hour, one hundred and sixty eight miles
per day and six thousand three hun
dred and twenty miles per year. If a
man of "a years of age could have one
single blood corpuscle floating In his
blood all his life it would have Travelled
In that same time five million one hum
dred and fifty thousand eight hundred
and eight miles.

Collecting is a sort of cumulative pas

Collecting is a sort Of cumulative pas
sion. 1t starts with taste for quality,
1t develops into greed for quantity.
Once the collector discovers he is the
possessor Of an article Of which there
are few or no other copies, he is lost.
Thereafter he has only one concern-to
seize upon more rarities. 1t would be
all very well If the mania pertained to
what may truly be called treasures, but
too often these things have value only
because other collectors covet them.
That he may have an example Of the
ceramics of every dynasty of China is
beautiful specimens of one.

People who know what home is are
not so many as middle-aged men and
women think, and they who never had
one will hardly be expected to join in
the lament at its gradual disappear
ance. That it Is going out of fashion
there is not doubt. Every new pile
of flats, every conversion of dwelling
to clearinghouse is elegaic of the cir
cumstance. The modern family shifts
from one tenement to another, loses or
damages its goods in the transit Is
constantly making new acqualntances,
but as constantly losing the old, and is
without quiet and retirement and peace.
The older people regret the change
the younger have no standards by which
to measure 1t.

Doubtless there is such thing as the
newspaper habit which comes to be a
form of mental dissipation and tends
to weaken the power Of close attention
and prevent the sort Of study and cou-
centration which leads to intellectual
growth. That should be avoided, but
no man of to-day, however much he
may be absorbed in his occupation or
however much he may pride himself on
a culture that consists chiefly in knowl-
edge of bygone things, can afford to
neglect or be ignorant Of the marvel
GUS daily record that Is made in print
of the time in which he lives.

many readers that our legislatures, ma
tional, State and city; our railroad
trusts, our political parties, are corrupt.
We have, 1t is true, great deal to con-
tend with in checking the arrogance of
wealth and the ruder arrogance Of pow
erty, but this nation has subsisted for
130 years on mutual trust and common
righteousness, nor in spite of the alarm
signals do We see any tokens of disin-
tegration.

An indication Of the rapidly growing
interest in underground water supplies,
even In States where the rainfall Is
abundant and the soil naturally fer
tile, is given by the program just pre-
pared for the work of the coming sea-

nois. A special department of the
work will be devoted to the study of
the underground water Of that State,
in order to determine the limits of
what are called the "Artesian basins"
and the various depths to which it may
be necessary to penetrate in different
localities to obtain good water for mu-
nicipal and agricultural purposes. All
the waters will be carefully analyzed
and subjected to laboratory tests, and
thus 1t is hoped that the work of de-
veloping new water supplies will be
put upon thoroughly scientific foot
ing.

Many American cities are built upon
sites Of which the natural beauty Is
unsurpassed. Many have fine parks
and boulevards and handsome streets
of fine houses. Some have excellent
public buildings and magnificent
bridges. Yet, as architectural con-
structions, no American city is beauti-
full as are Paris and some other Euro
pean cities. One reason Is that the
ancient cities have had time to put on
the beauty Of age; but their modern
portions, constructed often at less ex-
pense than too many American build
ers lavish on costly monstrosities, have
tone, harmony, good taste uneQualed in
in this country. The reason is that in
European cities there is authoritative
supervision over every building. Arch
itects are required as they are not re-
quired In this country, to build with
reference to the architectural and nat
ural surroundings. The American unit
of design is the building. The Euro
pean unit Is the street, the district, the
whole city. There Is change for the
better. Washington, which owes what
architectural order 1t has to French
man, will have a consistent plan to
which future buildings are to conform,
and the main street to the Capitol will
not always be lined with squalor to
the very foot Of that mighty building.
The Mayor Of Portland has recently

be work of art, not a chaos.
