 FEAR-In previous articles first told of fasting and the fasting cure and then of feasting and the stuf1ng case i'm which I had to practically compel a patient to eat more. The young man was mason by trade and about z5 years old An attack of in digestion caused him to consult pny- sician who very Droperly told him that the trouble was caused by ovar-eatfng g and boiling his food, not sufficient naastidation.- The good doctor told him of few books on the subject of diet and how he should eat and use temperance in the quantity as we'll as the matter of eating. es
 The young man was frightened It was his first experience with sick mess and with doctors and he got an overdose of the latter At once he began writing to all of the fasting cure advertisers and sending for their books. The mo breakfast pIan7 was his first stunt. then an dll-advised fast without proper Instructions for break ing it..
 when he came to me about a year after the first trouble, he was a mere skeleton, unable to walk half 2 block and afraid to drink a glazs Of water or eat a u1outhfu1 of food unless he was sure that they had been thor ouEhIy sterilized. could find no organic trouble and it took me several days to find out the real trouble and then gave him food. He begged pifeous1y and almost cried when told him he must eat it. He was sure iE would kill him or cause such suffering that he could not endure, but insist- ed andshe finally ate the most of it and then ordered a glass of cool, fresh, pure water. It took half an hour to get half of 1t down but made start and kept assuring him positively that no harm would follow. z
 It took several days to start up a normal appetite, but within a month IT had to limit the quantity as he found that I was right and he re- cefyed no harm from normal eating The starved tissues Kept crying out for more and more. which he would have eaten and his second stage would have been worse than ,ta . first. I finally succeeded in regulating the Auantity and the method of eating and developed him into as fine a spec linen or physical manhood as could be found That was many years ago and hs is still a strong, vigorous and We1l man, having not only developed physically, but through the study and practice Of Dynamic Magn etfsnn, as taught in Volume two of the Home Health Club books. he has become 9 very successful contractor in his own profession.
 Not the least part of my Home Health Club work is the development of a sound mind in a sound body.

CLUE NOTES.

Dear Doctor:-There is an epIdem- lc of scarlet fever in this county and I come to you for advice. Is there any way that 8 person can protect himself against it Have read some where to bathe in vinegar and some thing else q have forgotten what 1t wasJ to keep from contracting the disease- A speedy answer through the columns of this paper will be ap- preciated, as a number besides myself will no doubt be interested. am enclosing stamps so if you can send a reply at once it will be greatly ap- preciated, as my family have already been exposed.
 The vinegar treatment is . valuable agent in preventing scarlet fever. and It should be used every other night when there is an epidemic raging. Take an ordinary sponge and apply 9 vinegar solution to the entire body of the child before putting him to bed. The vinegar should be diluted and made simply strong enough to cause g. slight smarting sensation if it gets into the eyes Other safe and yaIu- able preparations are pernaanganate of potassium enough to make the wa ter al light pink color; also good strong witch hazel (not diIuted). or Iisterfne and Peroxide of Hydrogen half and half. These are very vaIr- able preparations al well as safe and non-poisonOus, and will not harm even child. When these precau tions are taken it will render the per- son SO treated immune from such con tagious and erupfive diseases as scar let fever- measles chicken pox and others. A wholesome diet suitable to the season, proper clothing ana above all. plenty of pure fresh arr in the sleeping room at night and all during fhe day should be had at all times.

 Prof Carl sLorentzen, who went from New York university to Iceland to found a college, has returned to that country as adviser to the educa- tional authorities, and will undertake a reorganization of the public school system of the country. Are not Americans serving in like capacities in many oriental countries? A musical comedy actress, who is described as the Dresden China prina donna," is reported to have hit a New York process-server squareIy in the jaw Miss Marie Lloyd, the English music hall artist, inflicted chastisement on vancouver, B. C.. newspaper man for insufficient appre- ciation Of her art There doesn,t t seem to be anything effeminate about the stage.
 An up-to-date Paris cook has de- yised futurist menu, which contains such delectabIe items as puree of car rots with cod liver oil and roast beef
 dressed in anisette, vichy and olive oil. But to be truly futuriSt the roast beef should bear the minimum of re- sembIance to it's original character, and one fears that it would not be sufficiently transformed by this sauce. The true futurist cook must be more than merely eccentric.
 Laurence Irving, the English actor, who is a son of the late Sir Henry Irving, has begun an American tour. Speaking, in Montreal, of his previous visit to the United States, when he presented plays of Brieux, he asserts that the New Y ork pressmen (Eng- fish for newspaper men1 could not spell the French dramatist's name correctly. But, as American mana gers have in the meantime discov-
 cred Damaged Goods and made a fortune out of it, he is no doubt ready to grant that this deficiency has
 ere now been corrected.
 It was announced the other day in New York, apparently through the of fees of Charles Frohman, the theat-
