not by the moral aspects of the case;
he was doubtful as to how his friends

need not have been distressed on that

ordered the judge.

swept away pride and self-respect.

GO EASY on HEALTH FADs
Trouble 10 That They Cannot 20
Made 10 Suit the Physical Make
Up Of All People.

Cleveland Is the homo of the new.
est fad. The Ohio city has Keep
Well" club composed Of persons who
believe in restricting indulgence in
food. They fast now and then from
a week to a month. One apostle Of
the cult declares he has found abound
Ing health In diet of eight quarts OF
milk daily for eight months.
1t may be that this foodless life is
beneficial to some Clevelanders. 1t is
probably also true that many people
in other cities-perhaps even some In
Detroit-eat too much. particularly In
the summer time. But~it Is equally
probable that many imitators of the
cult will starve themselves beyond
the endurance point of weak hearts
and 80 commit virtual suicide.
1t is Just at this point that SO many
health, beauty. and nostrum fads be-
come so deadly and so damaging.
Every well-informed person knows
that wise medical practitioner when
called to attend q sufferer. must try
to adjust his remedies to the physical
powers and idiosyncrasies of the pa
tient. The remedy which acted like
magic in the case of Jones who had
Ia grippe may prove useless and actu-
ally dangerous to Smith. owing to
some disturbance of Smiths digestion,
weakness of his heart. or what not.
So with health fads. Hence, before
becoming any sort of a faddist see
your family doctor.-Detroit Free

Obedience to Moral Law.

obedience to moral Law will not
bring prosperity, necessarily. but 1t
will enable q man to do without It: II
will ennoble poverty. Goodness is it's
own paymaster. There is no need to
make goodness attractive by artificial
rewards; no need to make vice for
bidding by arbitrary punishments. The
fearful punishment of lying is to be a
liar: the fearful punishment Of vice Is
to be a vicious man; the horrible pun
ishment of beastliness is to be beast.
The splendid reward Of being good is
to be good man. You love your
husband and wife and children and
friends. Do you ask for more than
the joy and privilege Of loving?"-A

WHEN MISS ANTHONY FAILED

to say about blomers:
THE story of the bloomer is pr
quaint. It was launched and worn. 1t
became the subject of platform ora
tory and had IFS organ. Why is 1t
not worn today? No woman who has
ever masqueradsd In mans dress or
donned 1t for climbing will ever for.
get the freedom of 1t. Yet the only
woman In the Christian world who
ever wore 1t ut once naturally and
with that touch Of coquetry which is
necessary to carry 1t of, as far as this
writer's personal observation goes.
was Nine. Dieilafoy, and Nine. Dieul.'
afoy was protected by the French
government and an exclusive circle.
"Bloomers proved too much for
even the courage of dear Miss An
thony. For two years she wore them.
and then with tears and lamentations
resigned them. In that resignation
Miss Anthony paid tribute, uncon-
sciorsly no doubt. to something deep
er than she ever grasped in the wom-
an question. Her valiant soul met
its master in her own nature, but she
did not recognize IT. She abandoned
her convenient and becoming costume
because Of prejudice. she said. What
other prejudice ever dismayed her!
She thrived on fighting them; she met
her won.an's soul. and did not know
lit"
