SOME HEALTH RULES
FROM NOTED DOCTOR

Or. Swsninger. who was Prince Bis
msrck's physician, has most advanced
ideas regarding medical treatment, by
giene, and physical development. Here
are some Of his health rules:
1 Aim for a healthy body which Is
capable Of hard work; exercise plenti-
fully, but don't overdo Il.
Don't be afraid OF overwork dis
sipation brings on disease, but a healthy
body can quickly recover from any Of
the effects Of overwork.
g. Aim TO be free and Independent in
all things.
4. Be brave and despise fear.
3. Don't fear enemies from without,
such as microbes, bacilH, etc. but so
guard your body that they cannot gain
an entrance.
s. Be afraid of your own weaknesses
.. Don't think that health can be at
tanned without hard work ana constant
care.
5. Assist the physician in every way
IN his work and carry out his instruc-
TONS
2. Don't forget that II all depends on
your own habits OF living which will
assist the physician in curing You when
a crisis comes.
10 Strive after physical and spiritual
harmony.
II. Learn to know yourself-to criti-
else yourself and 20 discipline yourself
Even these rules will not prolonz earth
y existence beyond the natural span Of
life But he who follows them can hope.
az least, TO 50 economic in health that
ms existence will survive the average
lease Of life.

Just at present Virginia is furnishing

The quality OF the vegetable is also
proving satisfactory. but the price is
higher than il was at this time a year

Reports from New York shippers indi-
cate that the season there will probably

BRITISH IMPERIAL DEFENCE.

A significant and promising movement for the
defence and also for the consolidation and per
petuation of the British Empire is that which is
indicated by the secret conference begun a few
days ago at the Foreign Office in London under
the presidency Of the Secretary Of State for the
Colonies. This conference was called to discuss
In general the question OF the military and naval
defences of the empire and i'm particular the
proposals which were recently made by the two
dominions of Canada and New Zealand and the
Commonwealth OF Australia. Its proceedings
have been secret, as is fitting and indeed essen
tial, and It's results may not he published, save
~ they may be disclosed In the policies Of the
United Kingdom and the colonies. But it seems
reasonable 10 expect that they will be of much
practical Importance.
The thirteen colonial delegates at the con-
ference represented the two dominions and the
commonwealth already named and also Eng
lands oldest colony" of Newfoundland, and
those four South African colonies which are at
the present moment being consolidated into a
union. Among them were five colonial prime
ministers and several high military and naval
authorities. The eight countries represented
nave coast lines aggregating $4,000 miles an
area OF i'36O632 square miles, and rapidly III
creasing population of more than 100000
Their value 10 the mother country is incalcu-
iaoie ana In case OF war large part Of the naval
energies OF the empire would have to be devoted
TO protecting them and the lines OF conimunica-
ZION between them and the United Kingdom. IL
Is 10 be assumed that their interest In the in
legriy ana security of the empire Is as great
as that OF the United Kingdom itself. and there
seems 10 he no reason in equity why they should
not materially and proportIonately contribute 10
the common defence.
This year the total cost of the British navy is
about Si75,1l5.0o0. of which the United Kingdom
contributes Sl73.555.000. OF the remainder India
contributes 100000. and the rest is made ND by
some Of the colonies represented AT this confer
enoe. Australia is credited with 100000. Cane
Colony with $4,000 New Zealand with 5000 OO0
Natal with $1,000 and Newfoundland with
$4,000. These contributions are all voluntary.

DETIES AND MORALS.

THE New York Times spoke the other day of
! 1.-THE beggarly reduction from ST TO SO 10 a ton"
on print paper The decrease amounts 10 375
per cent, and we ventured to ask if our former
neighbOr would consider an increase of 37.5 per
cent i'm the duty on paper or on any other article
"beggary." To sustain its original contention
The Times" now INDUCES in some curious corn
parsons. II says:
The duty print paper is unnecessary bur-
densome. and il invites. and has led TO. monopo-
listic combination. Therefore the duty of Sc a
ton may properly be compared with crime. say
with sheep stealing or burglary. If a sheep thief
should solemnly declare his intention To steal
37l2 per cent fewer sheep next year than this
year. or If a burglar should make a covenant TO
limit his depredations To 62i. per cent OF their
former volume, II would hardly be said that
either had reformed

a crime of violence If The Times" believed in
it's own argument IL would have to advocate the
Imprisonment OF everybody who was ever con-

From the point of view Of the innocent and
outraged smuggler IL is Just as criminal To levy
low duties as high ones. There Is no mitigation

proposals of contributions to defence. The SUD-
jects before this conference have been what
part the colonies should take Ii naval defence,
whether they should equip and control local
squadrons for their own defence at their own
cost and whether they should contribute TO the
cost of the British navy and leave the naval de-
fence of their coasts to the United Kingdom.
These questions are all eminently practical
ana the answers to them must he of real mo-
mcnt tn the security of the empire. 1t may be
assumed. moreover. that result of the confer
ence will he a marked increase of vitality in
the bonds which unite the various members of
the empire. The undoubted inclination OF the
colonies is to take part i'm the imperial defence.
not merely 10 protect themselves locally. nor
even 10 save the United Kingdom the cost and
labor of protecting them, but 10 protect the
whole empire. That spirit seems to prevail In
all these great colonies. and 1t auGurs well for
the stability and perpetuatiOn of the empire of
which they are increasingly important members
