THE AMERICAN CLIMATE AND
FRESH AIR CURE.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
A great deal of fault is FOUND with
the American climate, but it seems to
be pretty good, after ALL provided you
get enough of it! Consumptives
whose recovery has been given over as
hopeless, fashionable remedies having
failed, surrounding themselves day and
night with the aforesaid climate, re-
ceive back again the precious life and
health which medical science despaired
of.
1 myself strongly depreciate the
American atmosphere as generally
made use of-thoroughly cooked, re-
naming bottled up in the Theoretically
sealed, steam-heated American home
permeated and saturated with unoxy-
genated poison exhaled from human
lungs.
This is the specimen of air also
found in theatre, church, and in the
shopping department.
Given pure air, pure food, and sim
pie living, and we are disease proof
able to defy element and contagion.
1t is very encouraging that even the
doctors now, thanks to our energetic
agitation for hygiene and sanitation,
are talking about the urgent needs of
fresh air, and urging less Of tOnics and
serums, and are beginning to realize
that Gods own bless d remedy of sun
shine, oxygen laden, is the very best
anti-toxin ever invented! Preventa-
tive science assumes an ide4 Of true
prevention; not the hitherto general
ly accepted one of giving the stronger
drug-poison to annual and stifle back
the lesser one--of which the suffering
patient is already possessed.
Let the cry be persistent from every
physician for FRESH AIR.

THE SQUAW'S SHAWL.
II Must Be Just So to Suit Her Fas-
tidious Taste.


tidious Taste.
The Indian wears his blanket on the
hottest summer days His theory is
that If 1t keeps out the cold in winter
1t will keep out the heat in summer.
says Ben NJ. Myers of Oklahoma City.
While he might not care to buy any
thing else expensive. the price of
suitable blanket is never questioned,
but 1t would be difficult indeed to de-
ceive him as to the texture of any
robe
"a squaw will initiate almost any
thing that pleases her fancy, but in
the matter of her blanket or shawl she
exhibits an unusual amount of indvid-
uality. With great care and patience
she designs her blanket, and when she
places the order with the mill man he
does not dare duplicate it until she has
had an opportunity to wear it.
IF she makes the request that it
shall not be duplicated her wishes are
regarded, because 1t is the one article
she possesses in which excluslveness is
much coveted and also because what
would please one squaw would not ap-
pear at all attractive to another.
"The lightweight shawl or blanket Is
thrown over the head of the squaw.
and unless she is able to purchase a
bright colored silk kerchief it will
serve as her only bonnet as well. 1t is
just as common a sight now to see the
papoose securely bound on the back of
its mother by portion of her blanket
as it used to be to see the wee head of
the Indian babe peeping from the te
kas, or frame cradle" - Washington

If Jesus of Nazareth ruled today in
every human heart there would be no
J need of peace societies, for the reign
| of love would be universal and the
memory of war would be like a bad
dream.
! But that golden age is not yet here!
it is only ON the way and coming
slowly. Meantime there are evil pas
sions unsubdued in many heart. Men
deal with one another unfairly and I'M
kindly. Nations are tempted by envy
and jealousy, swayed by motives Of
pride and greed, suddenly swept by
anger or. revenge into the fierceness
of immense mortal conflicts. AS are
the individuals, so is the race. The
earth-man, who is animal, struggles
with the man from heaven, who is
spiritual, and from this struggle fly
the sparks which kindle the flames
of wars and fightings among us.
Here, in this still untamed, tup1N II
uous region of human nature, liz
great opportunities and the nc. Il
function of all peace societies Their
aim is to stand between the half-de-
voloped heart of man and the cruel,
wasteful consequences of its own hot
anger and rash folly. Three things
they seek to do practically:
First-They would dissuade nations
from making their preparations for
war so great and costly that they be-
come temptations to use them to prove
their value or pay their cost.
Second-They would gain time be-
tween the flying of the sparks of pas
sion and the bursting of the flame of
strife, in the hope that he fire may die
for want of fued.
Third-They would persuade men
that what called international war
is really fraternal strife after all, and
that a question between human beings
can never be truly settled by brute
force, but only by right, reason and
Justice.
Does not Christ the Man of-Peace't
look upon these aims and efforts with
divine approval? Do they not pre-
pare the way for the coming of that
crowned republic of God in which they
will be no more needed because war
will be unthinkable? The church of
Jesus ought to be the greatest of all
peace societies, and as a true friend
