RuIes One SHOULD Follow Nowaday.


After repeated shocks which nave been
dealt to the nerves of the public at large,
the following few simple hygienic men,
oranda have been carefully prepared for
the public and domestic guidance.
ON RISING IN THE MORNING.
Rule first. Don't wash or take a bath
unless you are sure the water has been
properly distilled; treated with barium
chloride and permanganate of potassium,
and redistilled over K. II. s.. on. to fix any
ammonia. If the housekeeper does not
possess this elementary chemical knowl-
edge, decline to wash at all, and take an
air bath.
Second. Use a new tooth brush, or else
have a fresh set of false teeth each day
whichever you think less dangerous.
Third. Do your hair with your fingers.
brushes and combs are deadly bacillus
traps.
Fourth. Keep your soap, sponge, and
shaving material under an air-pump, to
choke off the microbes.
Fifth. If impossible to follow above
rules stay in bed.
AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE.
Rule first. Don't read the morning pa
per or open letters until they have been
baked. saturated with a dislnfectant, and
put through the mangle. The postal off,

Second. All bills hould be promptly sent
into quarantine.
Third. Refrain from eating any bacon,
fish, kidneys, etc., over which an inquest
has not been held, or eggs that have not
been sat upon by a coroner's jury.
Fourth. Keep our mouth closed
throughout the meal.
ON GOING TO BUSINESS.
Rule first. Refuse all change that may
be offered you by street car conductors,
atc IL Won do not rarn m loco ct,ob ,~og
insist or having newly minted coins hand
ed you, wrapped up In sterilized cotton.

a refreshment stand, take your own filter,
glassware, and crockery with you, also as

coffee drinking and by changing from
coffee to Postum?
:. Give name and account of one or
more coffee drinkers who have been
nurt by it and have been induced TO
quit and use Postum.
3. Dc you know any one who has

terless at the first trial?
4. Did you set such a person right
regarding the easy way to make 1t
clear, black, and with u snappy, rich
taste?
5. Have you ever found a better way
to make it than to use four heaping
t~easpoonfuls to the pint of water, let
stand on stove until real boiling begins,
and beginning at that time when ac-
tual boiling starts, boil full 10 minutes
more to extract the flavor and food
value. CA piece of butter the size Of

g~reenback to each of the 200 mex best.
making cash prizes distributed to $50
persons.
Every friend of Postum IS urged to
write and each letter will be held in
high esteem by the company, as an evil
dence of such friendship, while the lit
tie boxes Of gold and envelopes Of
money will reach many modest writer's
whose plain and sensible letters contain
the facts desired. although the sender
may have but small faith in winning
at the time of writing.
Talk this subject over with your
friends and see how many among you
can win prizes. 1t Is a good. honest
competition and in the best kind of a
cause. and costs the competitors abso-
lutely nothing.
Address your letter to the Postum
Cereal Co.. Ltd. Battle Creek, Mich,
writing your own name and address
clearly.

The scarcity of horses and men in

features In h progress of industry
says a st. Paul dispatch TO the Boston
Transcript. Good draft horses, which
eight years ago were worth only sac
are now selling at $500 to $500 each; a
good team is worth $500. These horses
are needed in the lumber woods and on
railway construction, but not enough
can be had. Men to work In the
woods are being paid $40 a month and
board. A mar with a good team COM
mands wages of 50 a day hauling
lumber and logs. Never before have
the wages been so high or the prices OF
horses so great as now.

The Earth Eaters of India.
From the London Express.

from the London Express.
Efforts are being made to stamp out
The habit of earth eating, which is prev
alent among natives over almost all In
dia, writes the Calcutta correspondent
of the Express. In northern India the
favorite form of earth is a gray or drab
colored shale. This is ~excavated mostly
at Meth, in Bikanir, and is exported to
the Punjab at the rate Of 1000 camel
oadsa year. In different districts diff
ferent varieties of clay are eaten, but
il the natives have at n time a taste
for a special / OF mud, as the habit
increases the depraved appetite soon
becomes satisfied with bricks and
broken pots. White ant soil with the
nests and ants themselves is a great
delicacy. The reasons given for in
dulging in the habit are classified un-
der the following heads: % A peculiar
fascinating odor and taste in the clay,
rendering it a ~delicacy. CD An unnat-
ural craving due to disease. CD To.
satisfy hunger. ca Force Of example.
(5) Supposed medicinal virtues.
A university graduate confessed to q.
friend that the bland earthly odor was
a great temptation to him, and the
thought Of it made his mouth water.
He always enjoyed the odor, he said,
when April showers fell upon previous
ly parchcd earth. The effects of the
habit are disastrous. Those women adj

the other symptoms OF anemia are fully
established-sallow and pale complex

most completely suppressed the habit
on his estate by making the offenders
stand out with a piece Of mud in each
hand exposed to the ridicule Of the rest
Of the coolies.
