RESULTS OF FOOD.
Health and Natural Conditions Come
From Right Feeding.

Man, physically, should be like a
perfectly regulated machine, each
part working easily in its appropri-

causes undue friction and wear. and
frequently ruins the entire system.

He Believed They Should Take Active
Interest in the Life About Them
and Base Their Sermons
Thereon.

Phillips Brooks. who really was not
ambitious for the honor, n cared
very little for it, was appointed bishop
of Massachusetts in 1891, about two
years before his death. A year or SO
before he became the head OF a great
diocese, l had the pleasure OF a long
chat with him, in the course Of which
he outlined at some length his theory
of the proper sources for the sermons
of the preacher of today.
"The world of today" said the great
pulpit orator, life as we see it around
US, mems activities, the aspirations OF
children, the conquests of nature for
the benefit of mankind-all these
things, and all others like unto them,
furnish abundant inspiration n op-
portunity for the clergyman who
wishes to reach right down into the
hearts of those who hear him. In an
other time, possibly. effective preach
ing depended upon explaining the doc
trines, but that is not for this age.
After all, Christ furnished us the
best example of the manner in which
a preacher or teacher should ap:

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

"Ihave suffered from the same trou-
BILE (painful finger nails) at different
periods Of my life. The first time OF
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
doctor to prescribe for me, but 1t was
not for q year or that my nails
and fingers yer well. The infamma-
ton and s%uppuration began at the
base Of the finger nail. Sometimes 1t,
was so painful hat I had to use q
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of Inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent infiammations resulted In the
loss of the nail. I had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years later I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again l tried various remedies, among
them a prescription from a doctor Of
q friend of mine, who had suffered
from a like trouble. This seemed to
| help somewhat for a time, but 1t Was
not a permanent cure; next tried q
prescription from my W doctor. but
this was SO irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that I could not use 1t.
I began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. / had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my ~c9nldreD's
scalps with good effect. l did o use
the Soap exclusively. but I rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base OF
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as I could. I had not
used 1t but a few weeks before my
nails were better, and in a short time
they were apparently well. There
was no more suppuration. nor inflam-
nation, the nails grew out clean
again. One box Of Cuticura Ointment
was all that I used in e6ecting Z

How J. P%ierpont Morgan Made His
Gifts to New York Trade h

One of the largest benefactions that
]. Pierpont Morgan (now being ex-
tensively exploited in the magazine
the $500, 900 he gave to put the New
York Trade schools on a permanent
basis. I had the good fortune OF first
announcing that this gift had been
made. How it came to be made is
here told for the first time.
A committee of philanthropic wom-
en- decided to see what they could do
to secure a sufficient endowment for
the trade schools, and they determin-
ed upon the plan of personally urging
the cause Of the schools to the citys
w%ealthiest men. To this end, they
made their initial call upon Mr.. Nor
gan.
He received them courteously and
listened patiently to what they had to
say. Then he inquired: How much
do you think I ought to give?"
WELL" replied a member of the
committee, I'VE thought we would
leave hat to your own judgment,
but" she added naively, W had $780,
900 in mind"
For a few moments MI. Morgan
looked thoughtfully before him. seem
ingly debating whether he should take
the hint and give $4,000 or some
thing less. Finally, he turned to the
member Of the committee who had re-
piled to him, and addressed her IN
short, sharp, business-like tone:
How much would be needed to en-
dow and equip the schools thoroug-
ly?"

Sometimes he Is caught out at nigh.
and is obliged to camp in the woods.
He has a small tent and builds a fire
in it, cuts boughs and fixes a bed on
the snow, and with a dog on each side
of him he sleeps comfortably and with
a conscious security. He feeds the
dogs but once a day-at night. He
generally shoots a rabbit OF two dur
ing the day. Sometimes he cooks a
part of n for himself and gives the
dogs all they can eat Of the raw meat.
His territory extends from Duluth
200 miles west, south to Brainerd and
north to the Rainy river. There are

There is no can't or grand stand

congregation into the haunts Of their
temptations is simply a part OF his
duty as he e e 1t. And the men recog-

them that they are witnessing an ap-

that eventually attained it's object Of
saving the Palisades of the Hudson
from destruction, he called upon the
men who were blasting them away

the sum of $4,000. He obtained an
option of three months on the proper

necessary to put an end to the de-

His first call was On Mr.. Morgan.

give?" asked Mr.. Morgan. Then,
when you have done that you can
come to me again."
"Mr. Morgan" replied Mr.. Perkins,
while I would not for an instant ques-

be unwilling to follow your advice,
still, it seems to me that If you were
to lead the list Of subscriptions 1
should have no difficulty in easily OBJ
tanning pledges from others. so that
before the option expires I could pay
over the amount agreed upon to the
quarrymen and take title to the prop

What is the whole amount you

sand dollars"
We'll, you can put me down for the

Mexican Cargadores Lift Huge
Weights Easily, but There Is a
Trick to It.

Farmers are still living who remem-
Der the old water-power grist mill and
the experiences of men in carrying
huge bags of grain to the top Of it.
The ability to shoulder 260 or 300
pounds is rarer now than in the days
OF our fathers. But in Mexico n
may see cargadores, or carriers, not
exceeding 100 pounds in weight. who
win place 500 pounds or more on their
backs and trot of with 1T, seemingly
without the slightest Inconvenience.
Such a feat would probably surprise
even our strong men Of old. It is not
accomplished by sheer strength, how
ever.

Is a trick in all trades is not to be
questioned, and the cargadore, who is
always an expert in his business. has

Brooks Theory for Preachers

proach his hearers and those whom he
wishes to influence. With the single
exception of the Sermon on the
Mount, which contains the fundamen-
tai Christian philosophy-the precepts
upon which the Christian religion
was founded-Christ always look his

phors, from the daily life with which
his hearers We're familiar.

Of nature and with 1t emphasize His
truths. His allegories, or parallels, as
7 now remember them, were all based
upon familiar things. The only occa-
sional references to the classics of
that day which He made were to the
prophets and to the Jewish scriptures,
and with these all who heard Him
were perfectly familiar. All, what an
exquisitely beautiful illustration He
made from the lilies of the field, very
likely pointing to those He saw bios

NOW, COLlluUGu MI. bIOOkS, II
seems to me that the most effective
way of reaching hearers for a preach
er of this time is to bring them into
touch with familiar things. That
means, Of course, that the clergyman
should not hold himself aloof, but
should take an active interest in every
affair Of life. He should go about
among the people and learn what they
are thinking about and what they are
doing. He should have an eye for ma
ture; he should be affected by the
flowers, the foliage and the birds of
the air, just as sc many of the poor
people are. / have tried to follow this
course, and it has not been an effort
Of the will for me to do so, since it

DR.. Brooks certainly practiced what

about among the lowly, but without
superior mannerism, and gained their
confidence. He was seen once in a
