With very few exceptions all OF our
troubles arise from the fact that we
are unable easily to bring our mental
pictures to coincide with the facts, to
harmonic the subjective with the OBJ
jective.
Health is a normal condition and Ill
health is a departure from the normal
hence there Is a strong. persistent
force continually working toward the
normal and, barring organic break
downs from inherent weakness, we
are certain to relapse" into good
health sooner or later II we do not too
persistently work against 1t. There
fore a raw potato in the pocket, a
nauseous draft or faith and a cheerful
mind are certain to be equally effec-
tive or ineffective. depending upon the
angle from which you view them.
II you we're to interview our friend
Of the letter you would undoubtedly
learn that during these Is years she
has taken many kinds Of liquids, pills
and powders, used many liniments and
ointments and has probably worn a
few charms. such as magnetic rings
that turn either green or black as they
absorb the poison" Most OF the sup
posed remedies doubtless she has
tried at the solicitation Of well mean
ing friends; each perhaps effected a
cure" in due time. But the trouble
always returned and she still has it.
OF course she wants to be comfort
able and to get well, but she wants
10 do It in her way. To ask her to
change her diet and mode OF living
or even materially to change her
method Of purchasing supplies, is ask
ing her to tear up deep-seated and thor
oughly intrenched habits. prejudices,
tradition and beliefs and to 90 to add
tIonal trouble.
Learn what n wrong and correct It
before serious organic changes take
place. Obviously the first indications
Of something being wrong viii be
found In the blood streams.

blood. OF the mother and that OF the
developing embryo. All the processes
contributing to its growth and main
tenance. including those OF respira-
ton and excretion. take place through
intermediate structures. This Is an
extremely wise provision Of nature.
whereby much OF an injurious char
acter in the blood Of the mother Is
barred from reaching the embryonic
tissues. Undoubtedly. the cells which
form the organs OF nutrition for the
embryo have a capacity for selecting
the elements required for the purpose
OF nutrition not influenced by the ex'
igencies of commerce.
Were 1t not for this intermediary
process, the embryo rarely would es-
cape being poisoned or otherwise in
jured by all the varied unhealthy
products and substances which the
ignorance OF some mothers allows to
be present in their blood during this
important period. Even with this
means OF protection, the maternal
blood may be so utterly deficient In
nutritive qualities that the fluids
which reach the embryonic cells may
be very much impaired in quality.
All the tissues, including the bones.
are dependent during the intrauterine
life on the supply OF nutrient material
derived from the maternal blood. Our
tissues require proteids, fats, carbo'
hydrates, salts. water and oxygen
from the inspired air. II the blood OF
the mother is deficient in these ele-
ments the growth and development
OF the embryonic bones will be re-
tarded and the imperfections thus be-
gun will be continued in infants
whose blood Is not restored to nor
NAL state after birth.
individuals insuficiently nourished
before birth enter the world handi-
capped by blood deficient In nutritive
and oxygen-carrying power. and I'M
less this is early corrected. there Is
as a result arrested development. The
effect Of faulty diet In the causation
OF disease is demonstrated by expert
ments on animals. Puppies fed on
raw flesh exclusively for six months
become rickety, and pigeons and
chickens fed on starch develop poly
neuritIs. Therefore, diet OF starch
or patent process -four and a small
amount Of milk is not to be recon-
mended for even the child OF strong.
robust parents and should be relig-
iously Stunned by those Of low VI
tally. An infant cannot thrive on
library paste.
1t is perfectly well known that by
limiting the food supply of growing
individual development may be retard-
ed, and II the undertaking Is pro-
longed through the cycle Of growth
the full stature limited by heredity
will not be reached.

Dear Doctor am fifty-eight year

am the mother OF three healthy sons
and they have inherited my rheuma
tism so that they are frequently troub
led with muscular rheumatism. What
will cure rheumatism"
II Is easy to picture the. writer OF
such letter as a plump. placid, kind
ly faced. motherly soul. A good cook,
she is proud of the fact that she can
prepare the same dishes on which her
mother and her mothers mother be-
fore her successfully raised their fam
lilies. But she has rheumatism" and
her sons have inherited rheumatism"
This is a fair sample OF type OF In
Quiry frequently received from people
who look upon rheumatism as a sim
pie disorder which, quite as a matter
OF course, every one is bound to have
sooner or later as a result Of wet feet,
damp clothes, or the weather. or as
the result of inheritance"
1t is customary to apply the word
rheumatism" to almost every imagi-
nable ache or pain occurring In any
part OF the body. From long abuse
the word has lost its significance and
has come to sound harmless; 1t does
not convey any idea Of danger and
most people are perfectly satisfied II
told that their various ailments arise
from rheumatism" II is a nice, con-
venient word, and It does not jar on
their sensibilities.
Rheumatism Is an acute inflamma-
ton OF the synovial membranes OF
various joints with the accumulation
of fluid; 1t is due to an infection OF
unknown origin and runs course OF
about six weeks. Muscular rheuma-
tisms" on the other hand, are either
the result of strains, as we have al
ready noted, or they are pains aris-
ing from organic diseases, or they are
caused by one or more OF many con-
ditions, practically all Of them con-
nected either directly or indirectly
with defective metabolism. Here 10
the basis OF all our degenerative dis
eases. such as diabetes. Bright's dis
ease, arteriosclerosis and apoplexy, all
of which are on the increase, in spite
OF the numerous cures" and all OF
which are allied to anemia. Whether
anemia is the cause or the result OF
most Of these metabolic disturbances
is yet to be decided. but certainly cir
cumstanial evidence points strongly
in the former direction.
Why are these chronic pains so lit
tie understood? Because we do not
want to know the truth II 1t will in
volve q thorough overhauling and re-
adjusting of diet and OF our mode OF
life. We prefer to go our own way In
bllssful ignorance. depending on the
good old remedies consisting OF drugs,
liniments, poultices, serums. and so
forth. to looking the facts in the face.
Then in addition to all the good old
remedies are we not informed every
little while by the best Of authorities
OF the discovery Of some new product
Of synthetic chemistry that will quick
Iy, surely and harmlesly remove our
troubles?

How cabinet secret was revealed
in most amazing fashion by needy
and adventurous penny liner at the
end of his resources Is related by
Mr.. J. ID. SymOn in The Press and
Its Story" 1t was during the ad-
ministration Of the Duke of yelling
ton. at tuncture when the opposition
would have given anything for some
hint Of the cabinets policy. The secret
was well guarded until one evening.
just at the rising Of the house. q penny
n liner, who had been hanging about
Westminster waiting for something to
turn up. saw the duke emerge from
the house of lords accompanied by one
Of hts colleagues
Now. the duke In his later years
was very hard Of hearing and cherish
ed that not uncommon Illusion of the
deaf, that In order to make other peo-
pie hear he, too. must shout 1t &C.
CURED to the scribe that IL he would
only follow the prime minister he
might hear something to his advan-
tage.
The night was dark, 30 the penny
liner managed to keep well within
earshot and yet to escape remark by
those he was following. He had not
gone very far before he knew he was
in luck's way. The duke was actually
talking about the situation In his usual
loud tones and gradually proceeded
to unfold the policy Of the cabinet. The
penny a liner listened with all his
ears and kept will within range Of the
minister all the way to Apsley house.
Thereupon. with beating heart, he
sought some friendly refuge and CON-
mitted his discovery to writing. This
done. he lost no time In calling upon
the editor Of one of the leading op-
position papers.
The editor glanced over the article
and was thunderstruck when he realiz-
ed its nature. Here was the very thing
for which the party had been praying.
Naturally the editor inquired how so
uninfluential person could have come
by such very private information.
Being satisfied. however, Of the truth
Of the mans story. he decided to print
1t and gave the reporter handsome
check for his enterprise. Next day
the appearance of the news, re-enforc-
ed by leading article. spread con-
sternation in the government camp.
Who was the traitor?
Somewhat Of a hue and cry was
raised. and the dukes friend fell I'M
der suspicion. Relations between the
prime ministes and his colleague were
in fact somewhat strained. until at
last the true story OF the remarkable
discovery was given to the world.

To the Public

] have been managing a Pool and
Billiard parlor in this city for the
past three years and have caused
very little trouble to any one, that
is to my knowledge. But still there
are people who will knock, but they
are people who rever come into a
place Of this kind and don't know
anything about it. My Pool aud
Billiard room is nothing more than
a public club room for men and
young men who know how to con-
duct themselves as gentlemen. /
have tried everything possible 10
eliminate all the objectionable feat
ures which sometimes attach them
selves to public places of this kind.
Young men and also older men VIII
cannot afford to spend an occasion
al dime or quarter playing a clean,
decent game of pool OF billiards are
urged to refrain from patronizing
my place.. Pool and Bill iards, in
the proper environment are merely
innocent games of skill and / again
repeat that they should only be in
dulged in by those who know they
can devote little of their time and
money to this harmless pleasure.
There are good many young men
who visit my place. IT it is known
they are under eighteen years OF age,

To the Editor
That thu liquor traffic is source
of profit or revenue to the city, is a
silly cOnten ton. 1t can never be
one dollars gain to anyone with
out correspondipgly impoverishipg
someone else. And to call that
policy source of wealth or revenue
to our city is the biggest piece of
economic stupidity of which any Of
our citizens have ever been convict
ed. When city or nation license the
liquor business for revenue, it means
positive loss. Carrcl D. Wright,
our great statistician, Chief of the
Labor Bureau in Washington, has
repeatedly told the American people
for the past dozen years that they
never get one d. liar from the liquor
trat'c in revenue that does not cost
them more than $4,000. To be very
conservative, every time the liquor
business contributed one dollars
benefit to Washburn, Washburn
suffers a loss of 5000. Look at onr
American cities which have tried
the license system for half cen fury
or over. Practically every large
license city in the United States is
in deplorable financial condition.
New York City and Chicago, the
two leading ones, are hopelessly in
debt and are continually clamoring
for more power to TAX the people.
Springfield, Illinois, in sL lite OF the
one hundred Thousand dollars license
has for years had to anticipate its
taxes and constantly reports Its
current obligations unmet. Look
at oar own City and Bayfield,; it is
absolutely impossible for the license
system of raising money to bring
about good financial conditions.
We quote the following from q
letter dated February 10th, 1914
from Coe Brothers, Attorneys at
Law of Barron, Wis. 1--WE advise
you that taxes have been no higher
here since saloons went out than
they were before. Whatever change
ia local business occurred was for
the better. We think that the
moral tone OF the community is i'm
proving all the time and that the
sentiment is stronger than ever
against saloons. We have not been
troubled with blind pigs" Barron
has population of about 1900 and
has been dry five years.
If any one doubts that the city
can live without saloons let them
write to the most respected citizens
in some of the cities that have gone
dry in Wisconsin,: for instance
Brodhead, Viroqua, Milton, Lodi,
Evansville, Richland Center, Slough
ton, Palmyra, Cambria, Oxfordville,
indeed to over seven hundred differ
emit towns and cities in our own
state that have gone dry.

OVER AT Ashland the other
day a movement was started
which promises to grow until
the territory contained in it's
scope will include the twenty
nine counties of northern Wis
consin. The movement was the
getting together of Ashland and
Bayfield, counties in the organ
ization of bi.county fair asso-
citation. AS this association
grows other counties will be in
cluded and before very many
years it is planned to have a fair
that will attract the attention OF
the entire North Wisconsin
country.
Bayfield, and Ashland counties
showed the progressive spirit
when they combined in the pur-
chase of land which was present
ed to the State fol- the establish
ment of the North Wisconsin
Experimental farm and these
counties have again showed the
right spirit in combining in the
organization of a monster fair
association.
The movement is now well un-
der way with an organization
committee at work form ulating
plans and the preliminary work
will be taken up by this commit
tee.
