FRESH AIR AND SUNLIGHT.
Why Are So Many of Our Women Invalids

Why Are So Many of Our Women Invalids?
Good UcuiM asks the question
Why is the American woman an in
valid?" Women are not naturally in
ferior to men in physical health.
Among savages they are fully as
strong and healthy as men, doing
most of the work. In Africa the best
pOrters are superior to men in en-
durance. Among ourselves girl ba-
bies and very young girls are as
healthy as boys. The difference in
vigor begins when outdoor life is
abridged. Mans life is mostly out
door life; woman's life is indoor life.
The savage woman is superior phys
ically because she dwells outdoors
and gets plenty of exercise.
Indoor life," says Good Health,
with the numerous artificial and
unwholesome conditions which it i'm
poses, is a powerful factor in lower
ing the vitality, diminishing the
power to resist disease, and in main
tanning continual contact with con-
ditions productive of disease. Mon
keys and most other wild animals
deteriorate rapidly in captivity, be-
cause Of the deprivation of fresh air
and sunshine which they are natur-
ally adapted. Civilized women are
almost compelled to live sedentary
lives. This fact accounts in large
degree for the almost universal in
validism among them"
Back to nature" therefore, Is
something more than faddish cry;
it is a promise of vigor and happi
ness to young girls who appreciate
its meaning early in life. If choice
has to be made between physical
vigOr on the one hand and the charm
of a white skin, dainty manner and
delicate beauty on the other, let it
be made deliberately, with full
recognition of the evil of invalism.
Will the angel be lost in the tOm-bOy?
Not necessarily. Better a healthy,
capable. back-to-nature wife, most
men will say. than the delicately
nurtured wife who must spend q good
part of her time and income ut the
hospital.

The Remarkable Part.
New York Post.


One day some Americans on a visit
to Wales expressed q wish to see a
certain old and historic church. The
incumbent was only too pleased to
show them around, especially as he
believed it would end in a donation
being given to his parochial funds.
He is as proud of the school as he is of
the church and finished up by asking
them in there also and inviting them
to question the scholars.
One of the party accepted the in
vitation.
Can you tell me, little boy" he
said to one lad, who George Wash
ington waS?"
lss, surr, said he; he wass a
Merrycan gen raj.
Quite right" said the American.
And can you tell me what George
Washington was remarkable fOr?"
lSs, surr; he was remarkable COS
wass Merrycan an told the
trcwth."
The American didn't question fur
thcr.

Angela was in her fathers study
one Saturday afternoon, and she was
interfering So seriously with the

morning that he offered to bribe her.
She took the nickel he gave her
and turned it over in her hand with
such evident delight that he asked:
What are you going to do with
it,"
Angela cast u cautious glance to-
ward the half-oncn door of the study,

All Wanted to Assist Her.

A young married couple were re-
turning from their honeymoon trip
on a sleeping-car. During the night
when the train was running slowly
over some still, mountainous country,
a soft feminine voice told John that
she ~a4tsd Q drink of water.
All right, DEAR" replied John.
" The cooler is only a step down the
aisle.
But how shall I know which
berth is ours when l come back"'
she asked timidly.
II will stick my foot out in the
aisle" said John, then you can't
miss it,"
When she came back there was a
large-sized foot sticking out of every
berth in the aisle.

Why They Are So Clean.
(.assell'a Mapazine.

"How is it that French children
are so tidy?" many foreigners in
Paris inquire. Because from the
time they understand an elementry
sentence it is dinned into them that
it is very wrong to run fast, to fall
or to dirty their dresses in any way,
and, above all, it is awful to muss
their hair. An ordinary scene in
the BOis is where two children ar
rived in their auto accompanied by q
governess. They (the children) are
dressed in light silk dresses and wear
long white gloves. They start to play
ball. Every time the ball touches
the ground, which happens once in
awhile, the nurse rushed GR and
wipes every bit of sand very carefully
off the ball before it is handed back
to the children. Is it d wonder that
their long gloves are clean?

By reading the great paper. the

that the capitalization of railroads

The vine-clad hills of France are

The wine growers demand the "abso-

There is no such thing as tainted
money. Money is to buy the food,
the clothes, the comforts and the
cOnvenienccs of human life. 1t is a
medium of commerce amongst hon
est and thrifty people. There are
tainted men-Stacks of them-but no
tainted dollars. The moment dol
lar passes into the hands of an hon
est man, it takes on the character of
the individual who has it, and not
the one who had it. The only sort of
tainted money | know is the sort
that tnin't mine.
Various classes of people are sup
posed to be paid more for head

Y. M. C. A. Notes,

The Young Mems Christian Associations
school for Christian training is said to be
one of the most potent factors for good
that has ever been organized by the local
association by any other religious body
Within the past few years it has grown
from two classes with an enrolment of but
twenty students to thirty classes with near
ly nine hundred men studying every phase
of the Bible and many different life prob
lens and topics of the day as they are re-
lated to the Bible. The school will begin
its winter sessions Tuesday evening with
prospects never brighter for a great work.
1t has been frequently remarked that no
association has ever placed within reach of
its members so thorough and elaborate a
scheme for Bible study and Christian train
ing. The classes are made up of men from
every denomination. they are declared to be
entirely free from cant and sensationaiiSm
and are permeated with the working belief
that the Bible is the one book on which all
problems. personal and social, must be
solved. The course of study for the regular
classes is one graded so as to cover pc
Rod of four years. The work for thu first
year is intended primarily for men who
have never had any systematic Bible study
and presents to them the essential facts in
a concise and interesting manner The sec
ond years work takes up the lif, of Christ
from an educational as we'll as a devotional
standpoint The third year is taken up with
d biOgraphic and historical study of the
Old Testament characters and is followed
by the fourth year, which completes a
course covering the entire Bible.
In addition to these courses, classes have
been arranged for such members of the
educational and physical departments who
are unable, by reason of their sch edules. to
attend the regular classes. There are also
courses of instruction for the members of
the boys department. dormitory groups,
mission study and other branches. One of
the most attractive features of the special
program is the number of clubs which meet
weekly to discuss life work problems and
the biographies moral leaders. Som of
these Clubs deal with current topics and
every day affairs and the discussions are
particularly interesting and beneficial. Sup
pers and teas are served after many of the
meetings and are splendid social occasions.
There are fees of any kind for this
course of study in any of the classes and
all men, whether members of the association
not, eligible to membership.
