The fever Of consumption 10 not pri-
marily due to the presence a the to
bercle hacilli in the system. Indeed.
unless there are other conditions
which cause the bodily temperature
to rise 4 b inclined to BE- sub-nofmal.
One Of the Interesting revelations
Of modern medicine 70 the fact that
these germs may exist long time In
the human body without there being
any rise Of temperature whatever.
This q plainest seen in . tubercular
abscess. but Il h also seen IN the
many cases in which for long periods
there IL no fever. What does cause
the fever in the earlier stages Is . dis
ordered state Of the alimentary canal.
The stomach and bowels become de-
ranged and full of toxins which. be-
coming absorbed, poison the system
and cause the temperature to RISE For
years 1t has been the practice Of the
writer to reduce any temperature to
normal, especially during the first
stages of the disease, simply by wash
ing out the stomach and effecting a
complete cleansing of the intestinal
tract. Later on the fever is due to
the absorption of broken-down lung
tissue and to ptomaines, and so is
quite another story.
When, therefore, tuberculosis is sus-
pected the temperature should be
taken and if fever is present the per-
son should invariably go to his ply
stefan and have his digestive tract
thoroughly cleansed, when by proper
diet and outdoor life he will be able
almost certainly to overcome the pres
ence of the tuberculous germs.

READY TO FOLLOW LEADER
Unless It Is Fear, There is No Con- taeion So Quickly Spread as
 That Of Emotion,

George F. Bass used 10 tell a story that illustrated the c9Etagion Of emo tions.
 An old darkey sat | his tireside in a de1ected frame ot hind ruminating on the miseries of tha human race. Towser, his faithful hound, lay on the hearth with his joDl oII lis paws, ab sorbing the heat biisstul som. nolence. Presently the master groaned sepulChralIy. ToWser courteously opened one eye fer second and tapped on the floor WitA his tail X silence. Then said the master. "Houn', man am Doa 10 trouble as de spazs fly upwa'd.
 Towser shook off slumber for a mo meT, lifted his head and eyinced his sympathy by steadiast look, then settled down to dreams again. An other silence. Then the master ir- spired to fuller expression of his woes by the response of his auditor, con- tinued:
 'Houn', dis y 'arth an a place o trouble an a vale O tears; de debbil he roams, up an down like a hongry lion seelin' who he may devour; de ways of de weeked am shorely full O tribbalation.'
 This time Towsers nose was lifted toward the ceiling ana long, lugub,l- ous woo-o-ow-woo-w0o! expressed his acquiescence to his matters senti- ments.
 "Yes,' was Ir. Bass.s conclusion, emotions are contagious; all that is needed is proper leader"

Requiar Habits,

It Is a good plan to have regular nme for reading. One aocomplishes 70 much more in this way, and be. sides establishes a kind of intellec- tual habit that is a good thing in it. self. In an hour, or even half an hour given regularly each day to read lng. a great deal may be accomplish. ed. Do not confine yourself to serious books. Alternate light with heavy reading, and do not attempt heavy reading when you are tired. Do not read merely to be amused. Treat your books as friend. Do not follow blindly the teachings of any book.

Death is said to have been due to heart trouble, but he had been in ill health fer more than a yBar, and 1t was in seach of health ete had just made a visit to Battle Greek, Mlch., and Canadian points. He left this city in March, going to Battle Creek, and thence into Canada, making two trips to the latter place and finally returning to Detroit.

Busy Chinese Hens.

It would appear that the hens of China find life more real and earnest than enjoyable, for, it is said, when rot hatching out broods of their own kind, the additional and novel task of hatching fish eggs is thrust upon them. Chinese owners of hens col lect fish spawn, introduce it into empty eggshells, dramatically seal them and place them under the de- ceived and conscientious hen. In due time the shells are removed and the spawn, HOW warmed into life, is emptied into a shallow pool Here the fish which appear are narsed and guarded until strong enough to be turned into a lake or stream, and sub. sequently add to the edible resources of the people.

There is more Catarrh in this sec- tion of the country than all other di- seases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be in- curable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it local disease and prescribed local remedies and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incur able. Science has proven Cata1rh to be constitutional disease and there- fore requires constitutional treat ment. Halls Catarfh Cure, mahu- factured by F. J. Cheney &5 Co.,, To- ledo, Ohio, is the enly constitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken ln- ternally in doses from two drops to a teaspoonful.

Raising Native Lambs.

The farmer who will pay close at.
tention to his breeding stock and raise
native lambs of uniform size and
breed, feed them intelligently and mar.
ket them at the right time can make
more profit from his flock than from
any other farm investment. AS a rule,
the native" lambs sent to the mar
ket are so badly mixed, both as ia
bred and feeding, that they are a tor
ment to the buyer and Of little profit
to the owner.
This is one of the easons why the
western range lambs find great favor
In the big markets. They are more
uniform I'M size, as they are fed In
large iocks and go to market practic
ally in the same condition. Only q
small portion Of the native" lambs
that are sold in the eastern markets
can be called prime, and this fact Is
entirely the fault Of the farmer.
