WARNING 70 FISH EATERS.

DIR. Jonathan Hutchison, one of
the best known Of English physi-
clans, who has been devoting himself
for years to the study of leprosy and
its causes, has set forth in long let
ter to the English press his conclu-
sions concerning this loathsome dis
ease.
Not contented with studying lep-
rosy at every point in Europe where
it had appeared, DR.. Hutchinson
made a journey of investigation
through the leprosy districts Of South|
Africa and India, the result Icing
confirm his original theory that lep-
rosy at all times and in all countries
is caused in a great degree by the
consumption of imperfectly cured or
tainted fish.
In India he found vegetarians are
almost wholly free from the disease.
Wherever the dietetic use of cereals
has lessened the consumption OF fish
the ravages of the disease have either
been decreased or altogether discon-
tinued. Hawaii and other of the
South Sea Islands had no leprosy
until fsh-curing was introduced as
an industry. That leprosy is not
contagious is shown by the fact that
attendants in leper hospitals do not
contract the disease, but numerous
cases are on record where healthy
persons, going to countries where
the disease is established, eat the
fish of the country and become af-
ficted with the disease. .-Ex.

wOMAH's ORIGIN.


Tradition says there was scarcity
q solid elements at the time of her
creation.
At the beginning Of time Twashtri,
the Vulcan of the Hindoo mythology,
created the world, but when he wish
ed to create a woman he found that
he had employed all his material in
the creation Of man. There did not
remain one solid element. Then
Iwashtri, perplexed, fell into pro-
found meditation. He reused him
self as follows
He took the roundness of the moon,
the undulations of the serpent, the
intwining of climbing plants, the
trembling of the grass, the slender
ness of the rose vine and the velvet
Of the flower, the lightness of the
leaf and the glance of the fawn, the
Eayety of the suns rays and tears of
she mist, the Inconsistency of the wind
and the timidity of the hare, the
vanity of the peacock and the softness
of the down on the throat of the swal-
low, the hardness Of the diamond, the
sweet flavor of honey and the cruelty
of the tiger, the warmth of fire, the
chill of snow, the chatter Of the jay
and the cdoing Of the turtledove. He
united all these and formed woman.
Then he made a present of her to
man.
Eight days later the man came to
Twashtri and said
sMy lord, the creature you gave
me poisons my existence. She chat
ters without rest, she takes all my
time, she laments for nothing at all
and is always ill.,"
And Twashtri received the woman
again.
But eight days later the man came
again to the god and said !:
my lord, my life is very solitary
since I returned this creature. I re-
member she glanced at me from the
corner of her eye, and she played
with me, clung to me.
And Twashtri returned the woman
10 him.
Three days only passed, and Twash-
tri saw the man coming to him again.
my lord,'' said he, II do not
understand exactly how, but I am
sure the woman causes me more an
noyance than pleasure. Ibeg of you
torelieve me of her."
But Twashtri cried, GO your way
and do your best p
And the man cried, "I cannot live
with her r.
Neither can you live without
her, . replied Twashtri.
And the man was sorrowful, MUIR
muring ''Woe is me I can neither
live with her nor without her. -

CAUSE OF COLDS.

"No it wasn't carelessness so much
as ignorance that caused your cold, +"
said West Philadelphia physician,
whose patient was explaining that he
caught cold by getting chilled be-
cause he neglected to wear his over
coat on recent frosty evening. IF
you'd only realize, continued -
physician, "that deep breathing IS
perfectly successful substitute for an
overcoat in an emergency the chances
are ten to one that you wouldn' have
gotten chilled. About this time of
the year colds are frequent because
people get caught just as you did
and can't think of any way to keep
warm except running race or get
ting up a brisk fist fight with some
one, which isn't always convenient.
In such case deep breathing is the
best substitute for an overcoat there

sitting there and absorbing cold,
however, which I'll bet most of the

ing stiff from cold, was warm and

A CURE FoR NERVOUSNESS.


An American scientific journal
published recently timely remarks on
what it calls house nerves" that is
to say, the low spirits and brooding,
irritable, morbid habit of stay-at-
home or sedentary people. Women,
especially women who are delicate
and afraid to go out owing to the
weather, are those who suffer most
from this malady. They grow anx.
ious for their husbands, and conjure
up accidents, analyze their feelings
and lose their power of will. ga
woman who studies herself, her
wants and desires, her ailments and
loneliness, is on a fair road to an asy-
lum, did she but know it" Imagi-
native children have tendency in
the same direction, and should be
sent to play with merry companions.
The cure of "house nerves" is very
simple if people would only follow it.
It does not lie in medicine or doctors,
but in visiting others, long walks in
the open air and sunshine, repression
of every morbid thought as it arises,
or expulsion of it by thinking Of a
necessary duty, and gaiety, or inno-
cent amusement.

VISITS SITES

Commission Promised to visit This
City-Local People are Interested
In the Decision.

Marion people are following the ac-
tions of the commission now in ses-
sion to select d site for the new state
hospital for crippled children. Ma
rion is interested Tor more reasons
than one. This city has invited the
commission to visit Marion and look
over the local situation and as DR..
|C. e. Sawyer of this city was the
person that first started the move
ment for such an Institution, 1t is
thought that Marion should be con-
sidered with other cities as a suit
able city for the location Of the new
state hospital.
The commission is still In session
according to reports from Columbus.
Today's State journal in connection
says
"The state commission that is to Sc
lect 4 site fer the home to be estab-
lished for crippled children yesterday
made an inspection of five proffered
sites, two in Franklin county and
three in Delaware county. The COM
mission merely looked at the sites
and heard what those interested had
to say in favor of the selections of
their sites. A number of questions
were put by the commission at each
site visited. No ,conference was held
to consider the sites
"The first site visited was the
Minerva park site. The commission
then paid a visit TO the Turner farm
site near .Worthington. This farm,
which is present used as dairy
farm. was formerly known as the
Critchfeld farm. The sites visited in

and park site near Delaware. IN

HELPFUL LECTURE GIVEN
On Scientific Physical Deve-
lopement of the Body.
Donald II. Barton Demonstrates
with his Own Physique Exactly
What He breaches.

Only mere handful of people as.
sembled In the Y. NJ. G. A. auditor
ium last night to greet Mr.. Donald M
Barton, one of the worlds greatest
|exponents of physical training. 1t
is seldom that a Marion audience has
the privilege Of hearing or even see-
ing q character like Barton, and the
fact that a crowded house was not
|present does not speak very well for
the city.
Scientific physical development OF
the body for health and strength as
explfdlned, and illustrated by MIR.
Barton, in his lecture last night
possesses force and meaning which
doubtless caused every man present
to do likewise. Bow legged men,
who sat with their crooked props
carefully concealed under the seat in
front, and men with nicely sloping
bottle shaped shoulders, probably
made several noble resolutions while
listening to. and witnessing the ex-
tremely interesting lecture and exhi-
bition. Mr.. Barton is an expert on
this subject, as well as very strong
and well built men, and his remarks
could not help but be profitable to
those present.
Mr.. Barton is one of the best de-
veloped men physically in America.
He showed by practical. illustration.
explaining as he did so the cause for
the tendency toward excessive devel-
opment of certain parts to the detri-
ment OF other portions. He has
achieved a marvellous physical de-
velopment, and the most noticeable
difference between him and many 9TH
er well known exponents of physical
training is that he can demonstrate in
a practical way and with his own
physique Just what he gives in the
ory. Too many of the others neither
practice, nor fully believe what they
preach.
In the course Of the entertainment
,ast evening, Mr.. Barton donned ath-
ietic attire and gave practical dem
onstratnon of physical training in his
cabinet with artistic light effects
Muscular posing, drills and various
forms OF exercises were all illus
trated by the lecturer.
Mr. Barton will lecture again to-
night at the same place and the peo-
pie OF Marion should demonstrate
their interest in this subject by turn
ing Cat and packing the auditorium.
The lecture will begin at. s O'Clock.

clothes failed to reveal his identity
Only two small slips of paper were
found in the pockets. On one-a
sales slip of the William Frederick IS
Coal and Coke company, of Cleveland
the address of Sam Richards, 2215
Bridge street, Cleveland, was writ
ten and on the other was found the
inscription "Wdllie 10y, Nebraska
street, Marion, Indiana" 1T is be-
lieved that the identity of the dead
man can be learned by communicating
with the persons whose addresses
were found on the papers or else
from the coal company.
The coroner, after making an in
vestigation, pronounced death due to
alcoholism. 1t was learned that the
dead man and pal had been in
car yesterday afternoon in the west
end Erie yards. Early last night
the pal left the car and got drink
of water for his friend, who was in
the grasp of an epileptic fit. The
coroner learned that the man had
been drinking heavily at several
places and he Is of the opinion that
the man was suffering from delirium
caused by the drink. There are no
marks on the body whatever. and
II is not believed that there was any
foul play connected with the death.
The dead man was clothed in a
black suit with heavy black over
coat. He wore two shirts. black
one over white one. His appear

When picked up by the Italian, who

ditch. His companion can not be
