After the four boats were scattered
by tho gale s fury, his boat picked

er they made desperate attempts TO
reach shore. But the ice pack caught
them, and for four days they were
without food and water. Several ate

This boat also fell in with n family

These they devoured. but, by Vincent s
testimony, it was full thirty-six days
before they reached land. Think Of
it! Thirty-six days of madmen, and

Fear Of Microbes.

Microbes are agents of disease and
death. When they were discovered and
when their character was exposed
science made a big step forward. Mi
crobes taught men not only how to
cure disease, but how to avoid and
even how to prevent it. But into life
they brought a new terror! Now the
question is how to guard against this
terror. For all fairly healthy persons
there is just one thing to do. Ignore
the existence of microbes altogether!
Don't even stop to think of them, save
in emergencies, which, to the layman,
seldom arrive. Human beings have
no reason to be in continual fear OF
microbes. The way to be immune
from their influence is by not caring
a snap of the finger about them, and
by observing the ordinary. rules OF
wholesome living. Eat and sleep reg
ularly Take exercise. Keep in fresh
air. And devote a few minutes each
day to deep breathing. Microbes hate
healthy people as the devil hates holy
water.
