The man who goeth around
splitting tobacco juice in public or
private places is to use English with
salt in it an all-pervading dam
nuisance. He spitteth into furnace
registers or into heated stoves and
createth, as Falstaff would say,
''the rankest compound Of most vii
lanious smells that ever offended
nostril;" he squirteth yard lengths
Of brown juice on the sidewalk, and
10 the next women that COmeth
along thinketh she ate something
for dinner that hath filled her
stomach with revolt He goeth into
the postoffce and meeteth several
of mis- kind, and the noise therein Of
their expectorations soundeth like
the starting of pumps newly primed.
He strideth into tho blacksmith
shop and rolleth his quid to the
other jaw, then letteth go such a
mouthful as would quench the fire
in the forge But when he goeth
home to supper, if he findeth hail
pin in the gravuy or pants button
IN the butter, he useth bad language
and acteth like a man who ha tell
filth.

"A hashful young man from a
neighboring town became consider
ably excited while taking dinner at
the home of his best girl in this city
on New Years day and his court
ship has come to an abrupt ending.
Not beng accustomed to the use OF

down at his lap during the course OF
the dinner he was Mortified at what
he mistook for something else.

stuff it in his trousers (where he
supposed it Belonged but seized the
tablecloth instead. After examining
in about yard he discovered his

Simple Rules OF Health.

In order to live we must have
food, water, air, sun, sleep, clothes.
AS to food: We eat too much.
Medical men say nearly all of the
ills flesh is heir to come from over
eating. Make the bulk of the eat
ing small and leave out luxuries.
Simple food and small quantities is
the rule.
As to water: Not one person in a
thousand drinks sufficient water.
Not less than two quarts a day is
necessary. The water should be
pure. Dilute your food Give di-
gestion 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 fill
iDgs of the lungs with oxogen. Half
of the cells of the lungs are unused
day after day. Do you wonder at
so much tuberculosis? The chief
wonder is that the "White Plague''
does not have twice it's victims.
Take at least dozen consecutive.
filings of the lungs every day, send
ing the dlaphram down as far as it
will go each time.
AS to the sun: Medical science Is
just beginning to find out the vital
izing power of sunshine. You must
have electricity TO run your dyna-
mo of vitality. Get 1t from the I'm.
Even if you are delicate do not fear
the sun. 1t is one of your best
friends. The old Persian sun wor-
shippers 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 Napol-
con got along on four, but Napoleon
was an exception.
And as to clothes-use good COM
mon 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 wat
er daily, breathe with all of your
lungs, take a sun bath at every
chance, sleep eight hours and wear
sensible clothing you should live
barring accident-to a ripe old age.

SMALLPOX PREVENTIVE.
Prescription Endorsed by Catholic
Sisters in Philadelphia.

The sisters in charge of st. JOS
eph's Female Orphan asylum, at
Seventh and Spruce streets, are in
receipt of many letters daily from
persons who seek information con-
corning the preparation which is
believed by the Sisters to be a pre-
ventlve against smallpox and all
other diseases. A few physicians
are amorg the inquirers, a small
proportion of these having decided
to try the medicine
These drugs have been in use
by us for sixty years" said one of
the Sisters yesterday. I'm all that
time we have not had one case of
smallpox in our institution. The
prescription was obtained by Moth
er Gongaza more than sixty years
ago from a minister in Germantown.
He got it from a doctor in Paris,
who had used it with great sue
cess during an epidemic of smallpox
! there.
The prescription in one grain
solid extract digitalis, one grain
sulphate of zinc, one-half teaspoo--
full of sugar, four ounces of water.
Dissolve the dig1talis and the zinc
separately, then compound the
prescription.
1t is of the utmost Importance
that the solid extract of digitalis be
used. Some druggists say there is
no such thing, and use the liquid
preparation. This is valueless. Tt
does not produce the same results.
The dose IS on taaspoonful
every hour for an adult. For an
infant, ten drops for the same
length of time, and for children
under 10 years, one-half teaspoon
full hourly for twelve hours.
I'VE usually repeat this treat
ment once a month when smallpox
IS epidemic. 1t is the best medicine,
we think, in cases of smallpox. The
face may be bathed with it, thus
preventing scars. [ know of one
case in which a man sent for the
medicine, as his wife had smallpox.
She took it all night, the eruptions
having almost disappeared in the
morning.
The digitalis kills the germ of
contagious diseases that may be in
the system. The zinc purfies the
blood. Some doctors object to the
/ digitalis because it acts on the heart.
OF course the preparation must be
taken with care, as the medicines
are powerful
Some people complain that it
makes them sick. This is because
their systems are not in good con-
d1tion.
I'VE are not opposed to vacci-
nation. You can vaccinate as often
as you please. 1t will be useless,
however, if you have taken this
medicine. The vaccination will not
''take.'
eve have $50 children here now.
When one is brought we give her
the medicine promptly. Although
they come from all over the city, we
never have a contagious disease
within our DOORS"

As far as known the first case
of an Indian found its way into the
probate court of Sank county last
week when letters of administration
in the estate of VIM. Money were
filed with Judge Kelsey. The adj
ministrator is James Canoe. The
value of the estate is about $50,
which is all the coin Money pos
sessed at the time of his death, and
i. is calculated that the amount will
cover the expense of burial.

Don't drink the water carried
on railroad trains, is the advice of
a prominent physician. ''Ihe foun-
tains are seldom cleaned and the
water is taken from convenient
places along the route. I believe
most of our typhoid fever cases can
be traced to drinking the water sup
Piled passengers on railroad trains y
This recalls an incident that hap
pened not long ago on train max
ing run to Chicago. A passenger
complained that the water tasted
like kerosene. The matter was re-
ported to the company and an in
vestigatiOn showed that the man
who puts ice in the fountains had
cut his finger and had bandaged the
same with a cloth saturated with.
kerosene oil. The oil ran all over
the ice and when put in the foun-
tam had thoroughly impregnated
the water. Passengers had been
drinking this water for several days.
The moral IS plain: Never drink
water from these fountains. II you
are going on a trip, he it long or
short, fill a pint bottle with water
and take it with you. If you are
going a considerable distance put
a quart or two of mineral water in
your grip. 1t may save a siege of
sickness.
