The heart and brain are the organs
mostly affected when fits of passion
are INDUCED in. Not only does ang-
er cause partial paralysis of the small
blood vessels, but the hearts action
becomes intermittent; that is, every
now and then it drops a beat-much
the same thing as is experienced by
excessive smokers. 1 believe many a
man and woman have untitled them
selves for tranquil, peaceful, en-
joyable old age-if, indeed, they have
been permitted to attain old age
by weakening and warping their ply
sical and moral powers through petu-
lance of spirits and irritation of ner-
vous strain caused by indulgence in
the passion of anger. Harmony and
restfulness of spirit, strength and
equanimity of disposition, and kindly
and lovable affection are unknown to
these unreasonable, irascible, touch

DUST, DISEASE, DEATH

Dust causes asthma, hay fever, bron-
chitis, pneumonia, influenza and con-
sumption.
The dust problem can be solved by
intelligent cooperation.
The solution on highways is in the
use of oil and tar binders, etc.
The dust question in public buildings
is serious one. A suitable floor
dressing and pneumatic cleaning offer
relief.
The mouth breathing habit is danger
GUS. The danger from dust may be
greatly lessened by breathing through
the nose.
Every man must swallow a peck of
dirt in his lifetime. At least that is
what we are made to believe by mis-
chievous proverb.
We are so accustomed to dust every
where, on the street, in the house. in
the factory, on the country road, that
we find it hard to believe it is anything
more than an inconvenience. We dis
like dust because we like to be clean
and comfortable.
But do we realize that dust is a
source of real danger an actual short
ener of life?
Life insurance companies are inter
ested financially in every effort to in
crease the general average of life. They
have conducted most extensive re-
search in order to determine the prin-
cipal cause of early death. They find
one of the most important factors in
the shortening of life to be the inhala-
ton of dust.-Exchange.

EFFECTS OF ANGER

Anger, says a writer, is the 1ntoxl-
cation of the passions; like inebrlety,
by indulging it grows into disease.
II cannot help it," says the drunk
ard; and with equal vehemence the
passionate man declares he cannot
help being angry, when the occasion
pushes him into it. At first strong
provocations are necessary to over
come him, but gradually he is more
and more easily provoked till trif1es
unbalance him, and results ensue ut
terly disproportionate to the cause.
We cannot afford to be angry. 1t
costs us too much of energy and nerve
and self-control; and it costs US too
much in reputation, character, and
social standing. 1t units US for every
pleasure unmans us for skillful la
bor, and embarresses us in every kind
of business. 1t becomes weakness
that disgusts our best friends
our worst enemies, and lowers us in
our own estimation. 1t is unreason-
able, impolitic, and demoralizing. 1t
confuses judgment, entangles the,
spirits, and leaves us PROSTATE before
the rneanest antagonist. 1t really un-
fits us for life's duties. debauches
every manly instinct, and shortens
life Every time a man becomes

SICK INFANTS LACK IRON

A German medical authority, Kat
zenstein, has been making a careful
study of anemia in infants and has
arrived at the CONCLUSION that it is
due to the small quantity of iron found
in milk. Clinical analysis showed long
ago that milk contains iron in very
small quantities, only about one
twenty-f.fth of a grain to a quart of
milk. The yolk of an egg as compared
with an equal weight of milk contains
fully forty times as much iron as does
milk, while the dry substance of spin
ach contains sixty times as much iron
as does dry milk. Wheat, rice and
other cereals contain organic iron ih
We ~v. BILE quantities. The
young infan; begins to suffer from
lack of iron, according to Katzenstein,
about the fourth month, hence he rec
ommends that all infants should be
given, after four or five months, cruel
prepared from zwiebaok to which the
yolk of egg has been added. After six
months a little spinach may be given
daily. Children thus fed are never
subject to anemia or rickets.-Good

EDITED BY HAROLD KINGSLEY

the hair it may be used more lib
iy.
j., ordinary cases the hair should be
he'd at least once a month, taking
-,,,a that it is thoroughly dried after
w d. If the scalp is massaged for a
fe" minutes there is no possibility of
catching cold, and at the same time 1t
starts the circulation of the blood and
gives tone to the scalp.
When the hair is excessively oily-a
trouble that affects certain people and
amounts to disease with others-it
should be treated most judiciously;
and when it is being treated for dan
druff or any other scalp trouble it is
necessary to wash it as often as every
ten days or two weeks.
In preparing for the shampoo brush
the hair thoroughly up to the top of
the head, for as the hair goes into the
water so it will come out. If treated
in this manner no amount of rubbing
will tangle it. Wash in at least two
waters (rain water is preferable); if
you cannot get this or distilled water
put in enough borax to soften and use
d little medicated soap. If the hair is
oily put the juice of half a lemon in
the first rinse water.
A few drops of any good toilet water
in the last rinse water has a softening
effect and gives a faint suggestion OF
perfume. 10 dry the hair rub with
wal m towels, tanning and massaging
altei lately. Always dry the hair in
the un if possible.
Th, hair should be brushed out while
damp. as it is easier to straighten out
than When dry.
The ends of the hair should be
trimmed every two or three months.
Wear the hair down as often as pos
sible, as the sunlight and air stimulate
it wonderfully, increasing the healthy
action of the scalp.
Never confine the hair at night;
brush it thoroughly and let it hang
loose in braids.
If these instructions are followed a
healthy, luxuriant growth of the hair
will be the result if the general health
is good. No amount of scalp attention
will give a fine head of hair if the
health is poor and the vitality low.

THE MUSTARD PLASTER

The mustard plaster is one of the
best medicinal agencies at our COM
mand. We fear that its true value is
not always properly estimated. APP
piled locally, mustard is a dependable
neurovascular stimulant; it's effects are
systemic as well as local. In gas
tritis, with an upset stomach, nothing
is more efficacious and prompt in it's
remedial action. It's value in pleurisy,
backache, abdominal pains, ovarian
neuralgia, ETC., is too familiar for re-
iteration here. The mustard plaster Is
one of the effective measures calcu-
lated to break up a cold on the chest,
provided the patient is content to re-
main indoors a day or so. No one
questions it's value in most cases OF
pneumonia at some stage.
There are several ways of making an
efficient, active mustard poultice, and
there are, likewise, wrong ways OF
making it. If the fresh ground seed
can be obtained, the poultice is pre-
ferably made from it, although the
commercial drug answers reasonably
well. An expedite way OF applying
mustard is to dip flannel cloths in hot
water and then sprinkle the powder on
them. A more common method is to
incorporate a quantity of mustard, say
a teaspoonful, with twice that amount
of flour, using sufficient water to
make a PASTE The mustard sprinkled
on a bread or flaXseed poultlce is
choice method with many. A thin
layer of gauze or muslin should In
most cases be placed between the poul-
tice and the skin. Another expedite
manner of securing the action of mus
tard is to rub the powder into the
skin, applying over the surface cloths
Wrung from hot water. 1t is we'll
known that the white of an egg in
corporated with a mustard paste Will
prevent blistering or soaring. Some
skins are so sensitive and susceptible
to the action of mustard that poul-
tice must be carefully watched, espe-
cially if the patient be asleep or un-
conscious. For a mustard burn, lard
is better than VaSeline.
Boiling water should not be employed
in making a mustard plaster. The ac-
ton of mustard is dependent mainly
upon a volatile oil which is liberated
slowly. Boiling water kills this et-
feet, for the heat neutraliZes the oily
principle in the mustard. To heat the
poultice over stove until 1t is as
dry and hard as pancake deprlVes II
of its therapeutic usefulness. 1t is
then no more efficacious than hot
towel. 1t soon curls up, dry, hard and
useless. A fact ever to be borne IN
mind is that heat destroys the actiV-
ity of mustard.
A mustard poultice need not be thick.
Volume has nothing to do with It's
worth, as in case of most other poul-
tices An eighth of an inch in thlcK-
ness is sufficient. Oiled silk or I'M
pervious coverings over it may in
crease it's efficiency.-The Medical
Summary, February, 1870

CARE OF THE HAIR

Common sense is the first essential
in the care of the scalp and hair
Cleanliness is as necessary here as
anywhere else. There is no question
as to the desirability of the daily bath
and there should be none as to the
good of keeping the scalp thoroughly
clean. The elasticity of the scalp is
best preserved by the daily massage
Use the finger tips, massaging gently
but firmly with rotary motion. Thls
massage is more beneficial in treat
ments of the scalp than all of the
tonics which have ever been invented.
If the scalp is dry and covered with
dandruff a little pure olive oil rubbed
into it with the tips of the fingers,
taking care not to get it on the hair
will often restore T. to it's normal con-
dition and brilliancy. While the oil
can only be beneficial unless carefully
used it's immediate result will be
stringy. oily hair. Just before wash

NICOTINE IN CIGAR SMOKE

Some smokers excuse themselves for
not discarding tobacco by the asser-
tion that the poison is destroyed or
escapes at the burning end of the cigar
and is not to any extent found in the
smoke as inhaled.
A German chemist has been investi-
eating this matter and finds that the
smoke of a cigar contains half a grain
of nicotine, an amount quite sufficient
to kill man if taken at single
dose. An habitual smoker inhales
many deadly doses in the course of
day. He doesn't die at once, but the
effects accumulate and carry him off
at last with heart failure or Bright's
disease or arteriosclerosis. Nicotine Is
as certain a, killer as ratsbane, prusstc
acid or Paris green. There is no anti
dote for it's baneful effects and no
means to avert the fatal consequences
of it's use but to let it alone.-Good

ROUND sHoULDERED GIRLS

The girl and boy with round shoul-
ders are all too common a sight, and
physicians, mothers and gymnasium
teachers are constantly asking, What
are we going to do about it?" Stoop
shoulders are caused by rapid growing
with not enough strength to keep pace
with the growth. The girl is careless
in sitting over her school desk, which
is often far too low for her, and the
constant hold your shoulders back
only serves to make her more self
conscious, and her carriage becomes
even worse as time passes. Holding
the shoulders back Is not Wnat Is
needed, but rather should she be taught
how to stand corr ectly on the balls OIL
the feet with the chest we'll up ana
the chin back and arms hanging
loosely at the sides. This carriage is
the correct one and gives the proper
poise and general feeling of satisfac-
rlon and well being.
Did Won ever notice that when you
are ill or depressed the chest will nat
uralIy sink IN, the abdomen will then
protrude and the shoulders stoop? Inc
very fact of such a carriage VIII give
one diffidence and lf-conSclousness.
When you are preparing for some dlf-
ficult task or to meet an opponent do
you not naturally hold up the chest?
Necessarily the shoulders will be
thrown back.
At first this position may seem awk-
ward and she may feel thrown TOO
far forward, but she VIII soon become
used to it and the gain in grace OF
carriage, commonly called style, ap-
parent height and dignity will be no.
ticeable
This, however, is not the most inn
portant gain, as the lung capacity VIII
be increased and the chest develop
ment improved. This gives better re-
sistance to tuberculosis and better
health will be the immediate result.
Tall girls are more apt to be round
shouldered than shorter ones, but with
care they may learn to carry them
selves quite as well and overcome th.s
tendency.
Shoulder braces are often advocated,
but seldom do any permanent good, as
the muscles are not strengthened py
their use and as soon as they are re-
moved conditions are as bad as ever.
ONLY consistent and persistent effort
will overcome this difficulty, and THIS
by the girl herself, who must be told
what the results of this dropping OF
the figure will be. Often an appear
to the vanity is the most useful aid
to get her to make this constant ef-
fort.
The clothing must be planned to give
freedom to the muscles and let the
vital organs hold their proper place
and not be crowded down into the ap-
domen. This is one of the most ire
ouent causes of the protruding abdo-
men so unfortunately prevalent in Wo-
men of all ages and stations in life.
The putting off of corset wearing
until the girl is we'll developed gives
her a good start in muscle building
and the more athletic out of door life
will do much to strengthen the mus
cles, but knowing how to stand and
sit are of the most vital Importance
in overcoming the natural tendency to
setoon shoulders"
