Magazine REVIEW.
A Clergyman Writes of His Struggle
Against Neuresthemia.

A remarkable frank aud interesting
letter written by clergyman to the
editors OF The American Magazine, which
was prompted by a similar analytical
ayowal entitled "The Autobiography of
a Neuresthemic," which appeared in the
December issue Of that periodical, is
published with the writer's consent 10
the department G. @The Pilgrims Scrip
in the February number. The clergyman
writes;
Il am finding tremendous help and I
believe truly the ultimate conquest Of
all my troubles in auto-suggestion Of
a holder type | am saying to myself
with the fervor of conviction / am
bound to possess, i am not nervous.
and this indeed makes me feel less ner-

myself, and, unlike all other lies. the
more YOU say it. the less it becomes
lie.
sour friend Of the autobiography lust
entered upon the verge of the efiiacy
Of Interrogation in using il to induce
slueep. Probably had he followed it up
farther he might have found ii yet more
helpful. He says that ii only he had
been man of religious faith his re-
ligicn would. he thinks, have saved him
from his mental troubles.
Now, while / believe that religions
faith can do lot of things most inn
portaut and vital to mans welfare
and deepest needs. its function scarce
ly lies in the realm Of healing shattered
nerves any more than in mending brok-
en- limbs. Its farseeing visions and in
ner fountains of cheer help one to bear
the MISFORTUNE of broken leg as OF
all other ills mental and physical, but

CRIMINAL MATCHES"
A Single One of the Friction Variety
Caused a 100000 Fire.

Among the many incendiaries destroy
ing the property OF the American ma
ton, none is more active than the Grim
inal friction match. In Harrisburg, Pa.
a short time ago friction match
dropped on the floor OF the cellar was
stepped upon and resulted In property
loss Of nearly 100000.
Had this been a safety match instead
of a criminal" match no fire would
have occurred. In many up-to-date Eu-
ropean countries the criminal match
which ignites on anything is outlawed
and safety matches are required to be
used exclusively.
Such a law in each OF the states Of
the union should save TO public and
70 the insurance companies millions OF
dollars annually. Three hundred tbous-
and dollars is a high price to pay for
one match, and friction matches are
purchased every day in the year on that
basis.
The property loss resulting from the
criminal match unfortunately is oely
a small part of the damage done.
Thousands of lives are lost: a whole
army has been burned to death from
the use Of friction matches. Women
with their fimsy gowns are often vic
tins Of matches that ignite from being
stepped on. The universal use Of safe
ty matches would save thousands Of
lives and millions Of dollars worth Of

UNDER CRITICISM.

Most every time the fire de-
partmont makes run there is soma
wise person Who stands looking on
while the firemen are eSerting ev-
cry effort 20 drag the hose cart to
the scene of the fire, and makes re-
marks about the crudeness OF their
work, how slow they are, why
don't t they do so and So, and if that
fire was in my home town they
would have been there and put the
fire out already and a whole lot of
ether uncomplimentary remarks
Credit for the work they do is sell
dom given. AS a rule they are Sc
vereiy criticised for what they did
not do. The Whitefish Volunteer
fire department is deserving Of
great deal of credit when one stops
to figure it out 1t is impossible to
have discipline in a volunteer or
ganization like there is in a paid
department, so it is an easy mat
ter to find subjects for criticism,
Tut somehow or another they are al
ways Johnnie on the spot" when a
fire breaks out, and we have yet
to record an instance where they
Gid not get control Of the fire and
eAtlnguish it, besides saving a great
deal OF property. When a run is
being made to a fire every one
should lend a hand in pulling the
hose cart to and from the fire. The
next time the alarm is sent in it
might be from your place and then
you will want assistance in a hur-
ry. Give the fire laddies a hand
when you have an opportunity.

Getting Used to Il,

The first time that l shot the chutes

As we went gliding down the track

But as lived and got away
I tried it once again next day.
This timesI liked it more or less,
Though not quite ready to confess
That it alone made life complete
And l would rather shoot than eat,
But there was just enough of spice
To make me say, "Well make 1t twice. u
Thus day by day and week by week

And how l blessed the weather clerk
IT he made bold to spoil the sport
With rain or something Of the sort!

And shot the chuteS most all the time
And that is just the way 1t goes,
For often things that we oppose
And think that they will never do,
we try them out a time or two
And when we find they will not bite
Conclude that they must be all right.
Which shows the saying Is no lie.

children and women.
To the SO dead from their clothes
being lighted by matches add 116
by stoves, 32 by CRATES and 81
children playing with fire. This
shows 125 dead in one year from
cotton clothing having taken fire.
To lessen the number OF these
painful accidents, each CRATE or
fireplace should have in front Of
1T a wire screen, such as is used in
many homes to keep the baby from
falling into the fire. The natural
gas stove should be closed one or
have bars across it's face. Every
fire makes an upward draft of air
from the room. This draft will pull
to the flame any light material
which comes near. Most of burns
from open fires comes from the
dresses or aprons of women CIR chill
dren being drawn into the flame.
Stoves when red hot may set fire
to dresses and aprons which touch
them. A stove properly fed will do
it's work without getting red hot
The easy and sure way to stop
the burning of children is for par
ents to refuse to buy any cotton
goods which have not been made
fire proof. This would force those
who weave cottons to make them
so they will not blaze up the moment
a flame touches them.
Thirty years ago the chemist in
Bellevue Hospital Medical college
lost his only boy from his dress
taking fire from crate. The pro-
lessor, after working a long time,
found that if cotton cloth, muslin,
calico and the like, were soaked in
water having phosphate of ammonia
dissolved in it, they would not
burn. They would only char where
they were touched by flame. He
spent years in writing and in lectur-
ing about it. But those who made
the cotton cloth did not heed him.
II the mothers Of Montana would
say that their cloth must be made
fire proof it would be done by those
who weave the cloth.
To Save Lives.
A mother can make clothes safe
against fire after they are ready TO
wear. The German method OF fire
proofing light clothes is to dip them
in a mixture made OF sulphate CT
ammonium eight parts by weight,
carborate Of ammonium two and
half parts, borax two, boracic acid
three, starch two and water 100
parts. This has been used in Ger
many for a long time.
The United States Consul at Not
tingham, England, reports to our
government as follows: "In a meet
ing Of the society Of dyers at Man
chester, titanic acid was claimed to
possess remarkable fireproofing
qualities. x beginning fire in flan-
nelette smouldcred and went out,re-
fusing to burst into flame" Cloth
treated with either CT these combi-
nations will shoulder, but cannoe
blaze.
Boiling does not remove the chem
calls and the ccst OF fireprcofins
