BRIGHT'S DISEASE.
Faulty Living Is the Cause of "the
 Malady of CivIization."

Faulty Living Is the Cause of "the
 Malady of Civilization"
 Bright's disease has been called ''the malady of civilization," and the name is not unmerited. It is beyond every thing else a disease of civilized white men, and it is due almost entirely to those habits of life which distinguish the white man from the savage of the jungle. Nine times out of ten it is the result, more or less direct, of disorders of the digestive tract, and nine times out of ten these disorders are due to too much eating and drinking, too much bending over desks and too little fresh air.
 The savage lives in the open, eats simple foods, knows nothing of whisky and gets plenty of sleep and exercise As a result he has a good digestion. a clear eye and good red blood in his veins. But the civilized white man eats rich food, made appetizing by stimulating condiments; braces him. self with alcohol, lives in stuffy houses, in filthy. smoky cities and never walks when he can ride. The result is that his stomach fails in it's duties; his kid neys, inundated by poisons, go to pieces and he dies from Bright's disease.
 Sometimes the trouble starts in the kidneys themselves for instance, when they are crippled by alcohol and sometimes it starts in the stomach h or elsewhere But in any case the blame lies with faulty methods of living. and it is the kidneys that suffer the final damage. And when they falter or fatT in their business the body fi'ls up with poisons and death Is not lar away Bright'S disease. in fact, may be called autopoisoning.

word about the people who probably

knowledge. There are evidences on the

some Of the carvings are evidences OK

thinks tina. they lived in houses some
what similar to the bamboo huts Of the
tropics, and that these great temples.
monuments and pyramids were put up
only as a means of worshiping their
gods. some of the other Psychologists
think that the faces on the monu-
ments were those Of the queens. kings
or priessesses Of that day.
These naople are believed to have De-
longed to the Mayans, a race stock

give the young women who compete
prizes worth winning and large
amount of money has been spent In

gratifying to note that the prizes are
