BLOOD sTiMULANTS

That the blood normally contains
stimulants, that these stimulants ex-
ercise a favoring influence on func-
tion and conduce to, and may even be
a necessary factor in the production
of, the feeling of wellbeing, explains
the widespread liking in man and beast
for stimulating substances, says DR..
Harry Campbell This liking, amount
ing often to a craving, is the express
sion of a great physiological principle.
When there Is perfect health, when the
blood is we'll provided with its proper
stimulants and not overcharged with
depressants, there is no craving for ex-
traneous stimulants, as alcohol, tea or
coffee. But when it is defective with
the one and surcharged with the other,
then is left the desire for the glass of
wine or the cup of tea In order to
obviate this desire we should seek to
keep the body at the highest level of
health. The more perfect the health
the more perfect will be the compost
tion of the blood, both in respect to
physiological stimulants and deleteri-
Gus toxins. A blood properly constt-
tuted in these and other respects will
exercise a gentle stimulant action on
the nervous system and induce con-
dition of mild physiological intoxica-
tion, which expresses itself in d feellng
of being and happiness, condi-
ton which cannot be bettered.-EX-

ADJoURNING THE HOUSE,

You don't believe in woman's rights!
Well, harken now to me.
And l will tell you what occurred
In Washington, d. c.
A party leader had the floor;
Thick was he in the fray.
When suddenly a female voice
Was plainly heard to ssv:
snow Mr. Speaker. II Won please
All eyes were turned to her.
For just down near the speaker stood
The blonde stenographer.
"Pve Joined the union." this she said
In manner calm and cool;
Eight hours a day is all work
1t is the unions rule.
"Pve worked eight hours by the clock,
I've done my daily turn;
So Mr. Speaker, If you please,
The house must now adjourn"

UNCONSCIOUS WORRY

A great many people, among whom
the physician is conspicuous example,
worry unconsciously. They don't un-
derstand why they are so tired in the
morning, why their sleep was so dis
turbed and troubled.
This mental disturbance is often
caused by the habit of taking things
too seriously, carrying too great a
weight of responsibility. Everywhere
we see people who take life too Sc
riously. Most of us are like the motor
man, who not only starts and stops
the car and tries to keep from run
ming over people. but also feels tre-
mendous anxiety and responsibility
about the motive power.
One of the most helpful lessons life
can impart is that which shows us how
to do our work as well az it can be
done, and then let principle take care
of the result. How often have we been
amazed to find things come out much
better than we anticipated; to find that
the great unseen power that governs
our lives through a wilderness of trial
and tribulation into the open has
guided our life ship through the fogs
of difficulties and sorrow, through
storms and hardship and losses, safely
into port.-Exchange

THE BANANA AND THE CHILD

they are also the days of infantile
diarrhea, and the doctor will be fire.
quently asked to express an opinion as
to the wholesomeness or otherwise or
this much fruit. The banana is
more commonly given to the child be-
cause it is cheap. easy to prepare, and
is considered good food. The use OF
the banana should be restricted TO
children six years and older. This is
because of the manner of eating. The
child does not masticate, but simply
breaks off piece and swallows it. The
muscles of the stomach are not suf-
ficiently developed to enable it to break
up this mass and mix it with the
digestive juices. Older infants and
young children may be given bananas
If they are first pressed through a
fruit sieve.-Medical Brief.

THE cHlLD's APPETITE

The healthy child, furnished with
fresh air and sunlight, who has not
been pampered but accustomed to
plain diet with moderate variations,
does not need to be tempted to eat. So
says the Healthy Home. If food is tenn
porarily repugnant, we should respect
this protest of nature. The digestive
powers of a child, like those of an
adult, are below par during excessively
hot weather, or at the onset of fever or
any acute indisposition. Such child
is as much entitled to be put on light
diet as the adult, and it should be
borne in mind that undiluted milk or
even the childs usual modification of
milk is not necessarily light diet for
that individual child, but that further
dilution is called for.

If the water is hard because it con-

is bad for cooking, as peas and other

MAKING BOILED WATER TASTE

Many times, especially at this time
of year, the physician feels compelled
to order that the drinking water in
the house be boiled before using, since
it is unsafe to use 1t otherwise; but
boiled water seems so flat and taste
less that people are apt to dislike 1T
exceedingly.
If such water. after it is boiled, is
cooled in a refrigerator and then
shaken up in a bottle half filled, 1t
will be aerated, or filled with air and

pearance of water newly drawn from

sLEEPLEssNEss lN INFANCY

This is not unimportant because 1t
is useless to attempt to make baby
sleep when he has a right to be awake.
During the first week of the life the
baby will only wake up to nurse and
will fall asleep very soon after his
hunger is satisfied. Until he Is two
months old he should sleep at least
twenty-one hours out of twenty-four,
and If kept awake he will fret and
worry. After that time his waking
intervals may become little by little,
longer, and when he is year old he
does not need more than fourteen
hours sleep daily.
During the second year the baby
should have at least ten hours sleep
at night and nap of two hours in the
daytime. The nap will be dropped
when he is two and half or three
years old, but if he gets tired and fret
full toward afternoon it will refresh
him much better than anything else.
No child under ten should have less
than ten hours sleep at night, and IL
kept up late should be allowed to re-
main in bed in the morning or urged
to take a nap during the following day.
There is nothing more important for
the growth and nutrition than suffi-
cient sleep. But children, like their
elders, differ somewhat in their need
of sleep and some may need even more,
while others may get along we'll with
less than the amount here mentioned.
Natural inclinations should never be
disregarded.
Sleep is too familiar to need descrip-
ton, but there are some things which
occur in sleep which may be mentioned.
In the first place, when the child is go
ing to sleep impressions on the senses
have less and less effect, sight failing
first, then touch and taste, then smell,
and, lastly, sound; and after the sensa-
tions are suspended. then the muscles
relax, the respiration becomes slower
and deeper the pulse beats decrease
according to age, the temperature rams
about degree. and all the vital func-
tions and secretions go on more slowly.
Now there are some hints which these
facts suggest. Anything which exciteS
these failing senses will keep the child
awake and sounds and odors are more
likely to act as excitants when he Is
nearly asleep while lights and handling
will keep him from getting into sleepy
mood. Walking up and down in a not
lighted room and singing loudly is,
therefore. just the way to keep the
baby awake To put a child to sleep II
is evident that darkness, rest in one
position (that is, in the cradle or crib,
with one hand laid upon the baby SO
that he may know that the mother or
nurse is near him), and a quiet, or at
most low. monotonous, soothing muir
mur on three or four notes only rather
than a song, will be successful. Every
mother knows that the baby will waken
when the song which is being sung is
stopped; but the hum or murmur may
be made fainter and fainter without
arousing him. If the baby is carried
about, the heat of the nurses body and
the handling prevent rather than aid
sleep The influence of odors is not to
be neglected. You can wake a baby
almost as easily by holding strong
perfume near him as you can by max
ing a noise, and much more quickly
than by touching him.

There is class of men who believe
that their failures are due to unfortu-
nate circumstances over which they
have and can have no control; that
luck, not merit, wins, and that If they
were differently situated their chance
of success would be improved. 1t is
true that there is an element of luck
in all careers, but this element usually
consists In bringing an opportunity for
merit to improve Without denying
the existence of the element of luck,
we may say that it is merit which
avoids failures and wins success. De-
serve success and you will have it in
80 cases out of 100. Don't lay failures
to fate or luck, but manfully put the
blame where it belongs, upon yourself
1t may be f1attering to yourself to shift
the burden of the failure upon some-
one or something, but it is not manly
and it seldom is true.-Successful

A tale OF purloined pants was told
by Carleton l.. Norton, of Adrian,
Mich, before Judge Swan, in the Unit
ed States circuit court, Wednesday
morning, in a suit for several thous-
and dollars against the Pullman Co.
Norton and his wife went to Day
tona. Fla. for the winter about three
years ago. Their sleeper did not
reach Jacksonville in time to connect
with the train for Daytona. and was
switched to the railroad yards and left
over night. During the night some
miscreant stole Norton's clothes, his
watch and about $500 in money. They
left him only his pajamas and an over.
coat, and he caught cold and suffered
other inconvenience. for which he de-
mands that the sleeping car company
shall compensate him. The defend
ant maintains that, if Norton has a
right OF action, 1t should be against
the railroad company which was re-
sponsible for the train being late at
