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

If we would take as good care of
our good 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 its 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 its frantic ap-
.peals for rest with, you haven
time" We squeeze it with clothing;
we distract its ears with noise and its
lungs with bad air. But we put our
bad health in a quiet room, on soft
couch. We robe it in a 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 a soothing draught to rest it;
and we pay doctor two dollars 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 ar
ticle in Good Health.

When to Send Children to Europe.


Some people wait so long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are Inundated by others
who have already been there. Every
self-respecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evil
dent injustice; at the same time all
unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as
child can walk well and speak a few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in a stateroom, next to a
private bath, and sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between five and six. when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four a child can easily do England,
France and Italy, and get home in
time for the first night at the opera

viii Seek the South Pole.

A. Henry Savage Lander, the Eng
lish explorer. who will soon make an
attempt to reach the south pole, is of
the opinion that Lieut.. Shackleton
failed through having a cumbersome
and unnecessarily large expedition.
Mr.. Landor's theory is that a small
caravan of trusted and hardy men,
lightly equipped as in his expeditions
through Asia and Africa, is best. Mr..
Landor's activity in aeronautic inves-
legations gives color to the rumor that
an airship will be used by him in his
expedition.

This old fellow was suspected of
tampering with the church collections
A couple of clumsy traps that were
set for him failed to work. Then one
day a young deacon walked past his
house leading a new horse. n
"That's a fine horse, deacon the
old fellow shouted. Did you buy him
at the fair?'
Yes said the deacon. Then, as
the other came nearer, he added;

And There Are others.

The cook had been called away to a
sick sister, and so the newly wed mis-
tress of the house undertook, with the
aid of the maid, to get the Sunday
luncheon. The little maid, who had
been struggling in the kitchen with a
coffee mill that would not work, con-
fessed that she had forgotten to wash
the lettuce.
"Well, never mind, Pearl. Go on
with the coffee and III do it," said the

The cattail of the American

it's stems, when prepared dry, are ex-
