PRUNING BY RAIN.
One of Natures Many Methods of
Thinning Her Forests.

Thinning Her Forests.
Nature has many ways Of thinning
and pruning and trimming her forests
lightning Strokes. heavy SHOWS and
storm winds to shatter and blow down
whole trees here and there or break Off
branches AS required. The results of
these methods | have observed in diff.
ferent forests. but only once have
seen pruning by rain.
The rain froze on the trees as 1t fell
and grew so thick and heavy that
many of them lost a third or more OF
their branches The view OF the
woods after the storm had passed and
the sun shone forth was something
never to be forgotten. Every tWlg
and branch and rugged trunk was en-
cased in pure crystal ice, and each OAK
and hickory and willow became FAIRY
crystal palace. Such dazzling Drill
lance. such effects of white light and
irised light. glowing and flashing,
had never seen, nor have ! since.
This sudden change of the leatiess
woods to glowing silver was. like the
great aurora. spoken of for years and
is one of the most beautiful of the
many pictures that enrich my lire
And besides the great shows there

FILLING THE LUNGS.
Correct and Deep Breathing Is ESSEN
tiaI to Good Health.

No piece of advice the physician can
give will bear more frequent repetition
than the pithy sentence. Breathe
deeply" 1t is perfectly simple rule
Of health. yet it is constantly broken.
There are two ways to learn to
breathe. If our powers of self disci-
pine are poor, as is the case with most
insufficient breathers, it Is good plan
to join gymnasium or calisthenic class
and learn to use the lungs as baby
learns to use it's feet and hands. But
remember that lessons in breathing
will do no good if the scholar thinks he
is absolved from his task except when
he is in the class.
A simpler method for those who
tend a gymnasium is to turn life's daily
routine into a continuous discipline in
breathing. If the poor breather takes
the trouble to watch himself carefully
he will find that when he is engaged
upon any work that calls for close at
tention he does not even breathe as
deeply as usual; he almost invariably
holds his breath. Thus the blood cur
rent is vitiated when it ought to be
cleansed, and the worker exhausts
himself, not SO much by his labors as
by his neglect
Draw in deep drafts of air every
time you take breath, and every lit
tie while stop everything else and fill
your lungs few times with breaths
that test their capacity. You will be
surprised to see the Improvement that
it will make in your general condition

INDIGESTION OVERCOME
Overcome nv Sirnn1e Remedy

Hurried and careless habits of eat
ing, irregular meals and foods that
do not harmonic, tend to weaken
the digestive organs and result in
different forms of stomach trouble.
If you are one of the unfortunates
who have drifted into this condition,
eat simple foods only, slowly, regu-
larry and take Vinol, our delicious
cod liver and iron tonic.
Mrs. H. J. Smith, Thomasville, Ca.
says: 81 suffered from a stomach
trouble, was tired, worn out and ner-
vous. A friend advised me to take
Vinol. My stomach trouble soon dis
appeared and now I eat heartily and
have a perfect digestion and l wish
every tired, weak woman, could have
vinol, for I never spent any money
in my life that did me so much good"
The recovery of Mrs. Smith was
due to the combined action Of the
medicinal elements of the Gods livers
aided by the blood making and
strength creating properties of tonic
iron, which are contained in vinol.
We will return the purchase money
every time vinol fails to benefit.

SOCIAL EVILS.

The most important question
is, What force can now be put
in play against the formidable
evils which gravely threaten the
very life of the race? No one
force or agency can be complete
ly relied on. Attack must be
made against the three principal
causes of present evil conditions
first. lust in men; second, com
plete lack of moral principle in
certain classes of women; third,
depravity of those who make
commerce of these two. Com
mercialized vice should be at
tackled in all it's forms by all the
powers of the law The ancient
policies of tolera ton and licensed
segregation must be uprooted.
Segregation has nowhere been
successful. Regulation is CON
fessed failure. The laws against
undesirable marriages need to be
revised. Public progress in re-
gard to sex hygiene and eugenics
is to be procured chiefly through
educational methods. The work
must be. done delicately and
without interference with paren-
tai rights or religious convic-
tion.-C. w Eliot. President
