AS To Mouth Breathing.

The present movement for pre-
venting tuberculosis promises much
for future health. To this end one
of the things to be attened to is the
habit of breathing through the
mouth. There is abundant evidence
hat this habit is harmful and that
it can be broken up. Many years
ago, says our informant, had fallen
into the practice. l found that |
could not walk three squares without
opening my mouth. On waking in
the morning my mouth was dry.
The cause was that | had breathed
SO little through the nose that the
nasal passages had become so con-
tracted or obstructed as not to allow
the needed amount Of air to pass.
| Immediately set about reform
alton. In walking | tried to keep
my mouth closed as long as could
On going to sleep or after waking
during the night / would press my
lips firmly together, and SO endeavor
to keep my mouth closed as much
as possible.
My efforts were successful. After
a time found that the nasal pas
sages had become open and free;
that | could walk long distances
with my mouth wholly closed, and
that | had no dryness of mouth in
the morning. Mouth. breathing is
more harmful in winter than in
summer. Cold strikes the pharynx
and tends to produce inflammation.
The nasal passages are tortuous,
and the air passing through them
is partially warmed before it reaches
the tender vital plrts.-Philadelphia
Ledger.

A Gigantic Conspiracy.

The more we observe the tactics
of Aldrich and Shaw and other rep.
resentatives Of the hepredatory inter
ests, the more it becomes apparnen
that the financial panic is going tc
be used as a pretext for saddling on
the American people for all time ;
national banking system that woulG
in conception disgrace the intel.
ligence of Hottentot and in exc
cution shame the gentlemanly high.
waymen of the time ef Dick Turpin
aud Rob Roy.
The panic of 1893 was banker s
panic deliberty made for the pur.
pose of forcing the repeal Of the
purchase clause of the Sherman act
or, N other words, to futher de.
demonetize silver and throw the bun
men OF the worlds demands on the
single standard of gold.
The panic CT 1907 looks more and
more like another bankers panic,
brought on deliberately for the pur-
pose OF increasing the power Of the
national bankers over the finances
of this nation.
No scheme will ever reach the
light in congressional action that
does not take the national banks as
a premise and argue from there.
National banks can only exist
while we are in debt. The more we
get in debt as people the more we
can have saddled upon us. The
more we pay out of debt and be-
come solvent the less banking cur
rency 1t is therefore the interest
Of the national banker to keep this
nation in debt, the more the bet
ter.
Any man who cannot see this as
clearly as he can See the sun rise on
a clear day has mental clond on
his horizon. He needs the atten-
ton Of mental oculist.
By bringing on this panic and fore
ing congress to revise the currency
laws by having Aldrich and other
tools OF the predatory interests to
look out for them the bankers are
certain to profit by and change
made in the laws.
1t could not possibly occur to
Aldrich or Shaw or Fowler or any
of these fellows that the Govern
ment could issue the money it US
es. That would shut of all the
graft and the republican, party
would go broke without graft.
When one understands the mo-
tives that impel men to action he
can scarcely treat with respect the
army of CRATER who make sour laws
time and at the same wear long faces
and talk OF patriotism.
The currency of country, let us
reiterate, is it's life's blood and to
give the bankers the privilege of
making the money and limiting its
issue to suit them is like giving
leech the privilege of sucking your
blood until it gets its fill.
There is this difference, however
in favor OF the leech; When it gets
full it drops off and quits. The IL
nancial leech never gets full and
never drops of. He hangs on to
the bitter end.
The man who understands the
question money and keeps still under
elfortto saddle on this country aper-
petual burden of deb, lacks the first
element OF, not only patriotism, but
common decency.-C Chronicle.

Hurry.


To our own age belongs the credit
OF having raised hurry from the de.
graded position of disease to that of
commercial process. Formerly hur.
ry simply brought people to an early
grave, with nothing to show for 1t,
whereas now 1t is become the means
Of transforming peace Of mind, which
is solecism, to say the best of it, into
ready money. Hurry has grown to be
great fact in life. Even the fash
ions take account of 1t until women
are found doing up their hair in such
a way that they may go the speed lin.
1t without fear Of Its coming down.
And the best Of hurry is that it is its
own sufficient justification. Nobody
expects hurry to have any particular
reason behind it any more,-R. B. in
New York Life.
