Y derstard its workings and its
requirements in order that he may get
from it what he desires and keep 1t from
wearing out How little thought is be-
slowed on the human machine to pre-
serve to it the essentials OF its we'll
being!
The physician is not regarded as an
instructor and guide in the preservation
Of health, but only as healer of disease;
yet every physician knows that the
amount of preventable sickness far out
weighs that which is not II an lndivid-
ual would give attention to the fundl-
mental requirements Of his body he
would not only live in better condition
and avoid illness, but he would add years
of usefulness to his life.
Know ThyseK
Each individual has peculiarities of
constitution which cause HIM to differ
in his needs from everyone else. He
should learn to know what these are and
to obtain them 1t is in this manner he
can increase the sum total OF his vitality.
Vitality is the word which IS used to eX
press the strength and durability of the
human machine. The greater a persons
vitality, the greater his power to resist
disease and the longer his life.
One is born with a certain amount of
inherent vitality If this sinks below the
required amount the infant cannot with
stand the exactions of existence, and
perishes. If there is not.enough reserve
vitality the child will not live to attain
adult life. People are accustomed to re-
gard this inherent vitality as 4 matter
OF birth, heredity, 4 matter which is be-
yond control; but this is not So
Often the weakest infant becomes the
strongest Of brood OF children, for the
very reason that the parents study 10 do
everything possible to make the. child
stronger, while giving less attention to
the others. Children are Ike plants :
they thrive under certain conditions and
pine and perish when these are lacking.
How TO Increase Vitality
Generally one can work out the prob
lem OF increasing his vitality himself, but
il he does not succeed It would be
greatly to his profit TO consult physi-
clan and get direction. rather than wait
until he is actually Ill before dong so.

THE WEDDING
Proper Way to Handle All Details of This Event

a girl who is Considerate will be truly
reasonable in making her wedding prep
aratiouS. Choose simplicity rather than
display, and be considcrate Of others.
A very simple home wedding may be
very beautiful, and it is eminently prac-
ticablc, where expense must be consld-
cred. 1t Obyatcs the necessity OF large
expenditure and cut, off the cost for
floral decorations at church, carriages
to and from the church, fee to organist
and fee for opening the church-all Of
these expenses being for the brides
parents.
Then. too the invitations to a small
home wedding need not be engraved
forms. but may be informal notes writ
ten by the brides mother II the house
is large enough. all ones friends may
be invited if it IS small, it is correct
to invite only relatives and a limited
number of friends, and TO send, after
the marriage. the announcements to
those who were not invited to the we'd
ding These are issued in the name of
the brides parents, and paid for by
them and are sent to the general &C
quaintances Of the families of bride and
bridegroom.

The Family Pocket-Book.

This is a family problem" that is one
Of the most fruitful sources Of dis
cord in the home, a problem that young
girls who are thinking OF entering the
matrimonial state would do well to stop
and consider.
They sho"Id discuss the future with
the man whom they expect to marry,
should talk Owe the many practical
questions that are sure to confront them
after the honeymoon. If man has a
stipulated salary upon which to depend
or an income from any source, he should
give his wife certain amount each week
or month as they shall both agree, for
her to Use in running the household
buying groceries, clothing for herself,
etc. She would soon learn to make the
expenses come within her allowance.

vital organs, especially the heart, and
serious damage IS done.
1t is by individual experimentation
that the problem i, solved. Those who
live to eat only will TO. live very long.
The temptation to enjoy the pleasures
of the palate in eating and drinking are
among the ones most frequently yielded
to. Our customs Of friendship and hos
pitality and our desire for display COM
bine to dig the pitfalls Of 4 lowered
vitality, 4 weakened system and pre-
mature grave.
Concerning Waste Products
The waste products Of the human ma
chine are even more potent factors than
food in lowering the vitality; often tie
do this to such an extent that death -
the result The skin becomes muddy
and blotched; the heart acts irregularly;
the liver, which is the most complicated
organ in the body performs its many
duties imperfectly.
The skin assists in Iisposing Of the
waste OF the system, and in order TO DO
it we'll Il IS necessary that it should be
kept in good condition by baths and cx-
ercises, otherwise it throws too much
work on the kidneys, which are most
susceptible to insidious disease that
undermines the constitution and saps it
Of its vitality. Examinations should be
made from time to time to see that these
organs are acting rightly, especially when
one loses strength and feels that the
vitality is lowered.
Heart and Lungs
The heart is a very much over-taxed
organ. It is a marvel what strength and
vitality it has. 1t is muscle which
must contract and relax from seventy
to eighty times minute throughout the
life Of the individual The right half
receives the used up blood and sends it
to the lungs; the left half receives It
purified from the lungs to send it round
the body into the .renotest corners
through the tiny capillaries which are
hardly visible to the naked eye
Anything which lessons its power
prevents the blood from arriving at its
ultimate destination-the remote re-
cesses OF the human frame where the
vital processes take place. If through
over-eating the stomach, which is ad-
jacent to the heart, presses upon 1t,
it interferes with its work. Stimulants,
tea and coffee, poison the heart and I'M
fit it for its duty. Haste, worry, anxiety,
grief, emotions of any kind, carried TO
excess, unfit it for its work. When the
heart ceases to beat, it means death, the
wreck OF the human machine.

CONCERNING HEALTH

proper condition. How r?@ch sickness

health was not wha. Il should be, should
IN the same r2@u"~- consult his phys1-

ing, that his holy nj -hu be in the most
perfect condition possible. if this prac-
rice obtained there would be fewer sud
den deaths from heart disease and other
obscure conditions Of the internal organs.
The essential Of life in every human
being is perfect nutrition By which
is meant that he should have the right
kind OF food, the proper arlO mt to sus-
tain the funCtiOning Of the organs OF the
body and the outlay which IS used in the
daily enplOymcnts Of the individual A
great deal has been written and preached
on this subject recently, but it will have
little effect if the individual does not
find out what these sayings have for
him.
The Right Food
AS necessary for the human machine
is the right kind of food as is fuel for
the furnace which heats the steam by
which the engine IS run. Coal to heat
the boiler containing the steam IS neCeS-
sary for the steam engine, but a steam
engine cannot be run by electricity any
more than the electric motor can be run
by steam.
1t is the opinion OF many that most
people are running their systems not only
by not eating the right kind of food,
but by eating far too much. / think
that our present bills Of fare are much
too elaborate.
The present crave for novelties mani
tests itself in the culinary department.

the stomach OF an ostrich. Youthful
stomachs can for a time cope with the
digestion Of all sorts of things that the
middle-aged stomach could not dispose
of and which would be more difficult
still for one advanced in years. Vitality
will be proportioned to the digestive
strength OF the stomach.
Simplicity in Food Essential
Simple, nourishing food, in the amount
necessary to repair the waste that has
taken place, and to provide the strength,
/ is what one should take. Anything
more clogs the system, irnpairs the
power The surplus of food is deposited

The Wedding Hour

Decorating the House

The house may be decorated with a
few palms and growing plants as a
background near the place where the
ceremony will take place. Cut flowers,
roses, carnations. white lilacs and lilies
are seasonable in June. The blossoms

charming effects and are inexpensive

to modify the wedding gown later on
into an ordinary frock, is one of the

material as the gown or Of handkerchief

The Veil
The white gown calls for the veil to
accompany it. Here. too, is latitude,
from a handsome lace pattern-veiI to
Brussels net, bought by the yard Ex-
cept when the lace veil is an heirloom,
the net is rather preferred, even when
one is so fortunate as to be able TO at
ford to have the veil arranged by high
priced milliner
Frequently the lacc-cdged veil is a
large square. To arrange it, find the
center of one of its sides and lay several
plaitS at each side of this center Tack
them to a small ribbon-covcrcd band,
that may be pinned to the hair
Plat again, about six inches back of
the first row of plaits, and bring this sec
ond row forward and tack to the band;
the net between the two rows of plalts
will stand up like double frill arrange
the orange blossoms to come partly I'M
der this frill. The remainder of that
side of the veil will fall in straight line
at each side of the face, gradually
leugthcning toward the back
Another kind of veil is of net, and
completely envelopes the figure, falling
over the face as we'll as at the back Two
widths of the wide net will be necessary
A wide bow of the net forms the head
arrangement; it is placed we'll forward
on the head, and the orange blossoms
are posed toward the back After the
ceremony the front portion of the veil
IS thrown back, over the head.

An Anecdote Of Success,

OF Melville E. Stone, a Chicago ed.
itor said the other day:
"Stone, like all successful journal
lists, loves his work. He would sacri-
flee anything to it. Talking about
love of work in the Associated Press
office in New York, he said, with a
smile, that he could almost sympa-
thize with the notorious Australian
boy.
This boy, a resident of Perth, saw
his father kill his mother and then
commit suicide. The boy suppressed
the news for several hours while he
tried to tell an awful tragic story in
1900 words to the Perth papers. But
his enterprise missed cash; the papers
feared a fake and wouldn't deal.
"'But fancy said Mr.. Stone, fancy
such a boy wasted on a community of
sand-gropers. What a loss to Park
Row."

fact that cowpeas are a very useful
crop in a system of rotation for soil
improvements. The cowpeas, like the
clover and other legumes, is a nitro
gen g%atherer, and has the power of
extracting free nitrogen from the at
mosphere, and fixing it as nitrates in
the soil through bacteria which grow
in the nodules on it's rooas. Also, the
large f1eshy roots of the plants pene-
trate and loosen up heavy soils, i'm
proving their physical nature and
making them more easily cultivated
and retentive of moisture. The
crop will grow on thin land without
manuring or incubation, which is not
true for clover and alfalfa, making the
crop valuable for building up this
land where the use of other legumes
would be out of the question.
