WHY STONE WALLS ARE DAMP,
Sudden Changes Of Weather Response.

The walls of a stone house, and
sometimes of brick house, are COW
cred with dampness This is due to
the very same causes by which dew is
deposited on grasses or moisture or
the side of a glass or pitcher that is
filed with ice water and brought into
a warm room. The walls become cold,
and as stone is a nonconductor of
heat, they remain cold for a long time.

FOR MAINTENANCE OF HEALTH
Few Simple Rules Of Living All'That
lc Required.

lS helulTcu.
The requirements of health can be
counted on one hand. They are: Good
air, good food, suitable clothing,
cleanliness and exercise and rest The
first two requirements affect the blood
and as the blood circulates all over
the body, including the brain, every
part is affected. Fresh air affects the
purity of the blood. The freshest air
Is out of doors and 1t is the duty OF
every one who wishes to be in good
health to spend a certain amount Of
time In the open air. Good food Is
not necessarily expensive food. Exer.
else and rest should alternate and
balance each other. 1t is quite pos
sible to take too much exercise. and
this side of the question must be
guarded against as well as the other.
Women, as rule. do not rest suffi-
ciently. Every woman should try dur
ing the day to get few minutes rest,
even If 1t interferes with her regular
work. It is impossible for her to at
tend to the health and welfare of her
family If her own health suffers from
overwork and lack of rest.-Montreal

still and the terrible recital of what
happened is on everybody's lips.
On Wednesday morning of last week
Lem Brown left Bingville for the Co.
seat, where he was drawed up to serve
on a Jury. Lem understood that he
would git all through serving so as he
could come back home Friday night
and he told his wife so. Before he
left Bingville Lem made arrangements
with Deacon Butterworth to feed his
COW and pigs while he was absent,
and look after things around the
house generally. Lem has always
been a great friend of the Deacon's,
being as they both belong to the Bing
vile church and set side b. side in
the amen corner every Sunday.
Well. the Deacon looked after things
at LENS place in good shape so far as
we can learn. Between chores the
Deacon would go into LENS house
and take off his mitts to warm his
hands at the kitchen stove, while
Mary Brown. that's LENS wife. would
give him a doughnut, mebby, or a
cookie, If she happened to be making
any. The weather was so cold that
the Deacon spent considerable of his
time in the kitchen talking TO Mary,
but nobody ever thought anything of
it, being as Mary is a terrible hand
some and agreeable woman. Her name
before she was married was Mary
Simpkins and she lived out the Pike
four miles west Of Bingvile, daughter
of old Sam Simpkins, who is dead and
gone, 10, these many years. Wher
