TAKE CARE OF GOOD HEkLTH
Mistake Most People Make Is in Wait
ing for Bad to Come and
Then C1dding 1t.

If We would take as good care of
our Sood health as We do of our bad
health we would have more OF the
former and less of the latter. We set
our good health down in a draft and
let it get it's feet wet; we infringe on
it's sleep time and gorge it with I'M
suitable food at irregular hours. We
load it with nerve-racking cares and
duties, and reply to it's frantic ap-
peals for rest with, You haven't
time" We squeeze it with clothing;
we distract it's ears with noise and it's
lungs with bad air. But we put our
bad health in a quiet room, on soft
couch. We robe it in comfortable
gown; we give it pure air at stated
intervals; we put ice On its head and
hot water at it's feet; we feed it with
food convenient for it. We take
away all care and responsibility; we
give it soothing draught to rest it;
and we pay doctor So to come and
leave it a scrap of paper and say that
it will better tomorrow. One might
think we preferred bad health to good
health-From an Article in Good
Health

MADE SUCCESS OF VENTURE
Victory for New England Woman
Who 6raveIy Set Out to Con-
ouer the World.

Not at all bad story is gcinE the
England town whose husband died
leaving her with two babies, two
horses no longer young, a three-seated
wagon, and a small house at the door
of which the wolf fairly howled
FRIENDS told her the only thing to do
was to sell out, give at least one of
the babies away, and go into shop
in the nearest city. But she couldn't
and wouldn't, so she decided to try
running a station wagon, as there was
no such convenience in the town,
which was near the ocean and figured
as small resort in the summer. A
few men patroniZed, but the women
were apparently annoyed that she had
not taken their advice, parting with
her little one and her home The tide
did not turn until sympathetic sum-
mer visitor took up her case, engaged
her for a shopping and a visiting tour
between trains, and made it a point
to refer to the new venture at a 1fv-
cry service, and to say how greatly
it favored the town. That was six
years ago. Not only has she kept the
wolf from the door ever since, but
this summer she was offered $4,000
for the business. Her first hired driv-
er was so impressed with her abili-
ties that he offered to marry her. He
was fired" for his kindness and a
married man engaged in his stead.

SAMOA'S LIVELY VOLCANIC

In the Island of Savaii, in the Sa,
moan group, during an August night
in the year 1905, there arose from the
midst of a peaceful cocoa plantation
a volcano that in the four years of it's
still ceaseless> activity has sent forth
more molten lava than has any other
volcano of which there is any human
record. To-day this flow of lava. in
some places 100 feet in depth, is filling
uQ the sea along frontage of more
than seven miles, and has DESTROYED
about fifty villages and as many
squares miles Of what was once the
most productive area in all Samoa.
From Apia, about so miles away on
the Island of Upolo, it is sometimes
possible to read at night by the glare
of the Savaiian volcano, whose twin
pillars of vapor by day become trans
formed then into columns of red.

A. Henry Savage Lander, the Eng

attempt to reach the south pole, is Of
the opinion that Lieut.. Shackleton
failed through having a cumbersome

veloped the fact that none was re-
ceived at the department regarding pa
role or the liberties granted patients The
report Of the chief OF police in the mat

sion is that this class Of escapes offers
