slaughter is due to impure milk" There
Is the whole thing-in a milk-can.

The preaching of the gospel of fresh
air as a panacea for 80 per cent of the
superficial ills to which humanity falls
victim continues a serious and helpful
habit with those who have proved its
efficacy. Still, the majority Of people
read the advice Of authorities on the
subject, admit the logic of their con-
cluslons, determine to heed the list of
"dont's" included, and Immediately
thereafter revert to their old careless
habits. In recent issue of the Satur-
day Evening Post appears an article
satirically headed Colds and How to
Catch Them" written by DIR. Woods
Hutchinson, and Illustrated suggestive
ly with views of monkey in the
throes of an attack of the grip and
parrot enjoying the relief and discOm-
fort Of racking sneeze. In these pic
lures the artist has cleverly caught the
spirit Of DR.. Hutchinson's between-the-
line criticism Of jthe public intelli-
gence. The physician plainly intimates
that he believes any person who per-
mits himself to become a prey to the
grip fails thereby to establish denial
Of his simian ancestry, while those
who woefully confess weakness for
colds are as certainly emulating the
shallowness Of the initiative parrot.
According to DR.. Hutchinson an cpl
demic Of the grip is an artificial crea-
tion and catching cold" is supremely
foolish. He would have us understand
that our systems, while the happy
hunting grounds OF cwarns OF savage
bacilli, are provided by nature with a
mighty force Of defenders, a guard Of
protective substances in the blood
known to their professional acquaint-
ances as anti-bodies Upon the invad-
Ing germs the anti-bodies make con-
stant war, and the failure Of the for
mer to harm us depends upon the
strength and fighting quality of the
latter to keep them in subjection and
put them to rout Now, the antl-bodies
feed on fresh air and grow strong and
vigorous on cold baths. Exercise Of
the body in the open puts them in the
pink Of condition, but they weaken and
finally fade away once we try to coddle
them. Steam heat and chest protect
ors are their sworn foes, and so It
happens that when the first chill days
of fall appear and we begin cultivat-
Ing the kissing radiator and the snug
but insanitary living room we are kill
ing our friends, the anti-bodies, and
helping the bacillic enemy to sweep
Ing victory. We do not "catch, cold" by
sitting in drafts, but by avoiding them
1t does not follow that because the air
OF the sleeping room is kept cold by
the absence Of heat that 1t Is also kept
pure, and the more clothing we pile
on our bodies the more sensitive we
make them. In word, this authority
again sounds the warning that fresh
air and plenty Of 1t, pure water and
plenty Of that, used externally and in.
ternally, open windows, open lungs
and open pores-with these things sen.
sibly considered the anti-bodies will dc
the rest and there will be no more
colds or epidemics Of influenza.

Preservation Of Stone.

the use Of which would revolutionize
the appearance OF the city. There ts
no trouble in its application. The
surface OF the building is first rubbed
down to remove the dust. Two coats
Of the Liquid stone" are then laid on
after which it will be almost impossi.
bic to detect the cement from the ma.
tural stone. ....
The whole process can be worked
from ladders, no special scaffolding
being required, and consequently
much inconvenience and expense are
saved. The composition Is, moreover.
preservative, and will retain its an.
pearance as long as natural stone. and
probably longer than some varieties
which are employed. Not only in Lon
don, but in nearly all the provincial
towns, many opportunities are pre-
sented to utilize the new preparation.

Canaanlte BuriaIs.

Some important discoveries have

burial customs Of the Canaanites. The
bodies were usually deposited in
caves, as Abraham deposited the body
of Sarah. The caves were either

abound in Palestine, or artificially
formed excavations, usually roughly
circular. On the floor of these caves
