I hold to the maxim die and let
die" II any one chooses the fresh
air method of departing this life by all
g let him take 1t, but let him re.
spect the right Of other people to
choose their own method for them
selves. Fresh air has its victims nc
less than foul. The tubercle bacillus
does not enjoy fresh air, 1t is true, but
there are plenty Of other bacilli which
rejoice in it. If consumptiyes thrive
out Of doors, the subjects OF bronchitis
are generally only safe when they stay

What Would You Do ?

In case of a burn or scald what
would you do TO relleveIthe pain? Such
injuries are liable to occur in any
family and everyone should be pre-
pared for them. Ohamberlain's Salve
applied on a soft cloth will relieve the
pain almost instantly, and unless the
injury is a very severe one, will cause
the parts to heal without leaving a
scar. For sale by Criswell Drug Co.
