1t is good plan to starve both a
cold and fever.
Most heart disorders ace due to
disorders of the stomach.
All sick headaches are due to
coffee and food; sometimes to only
one, often to both.
In those having catarrhal tenden-
cies, milk, cream, butter and eggs in
any considerable quantities, increase
the catarrh.
The hot bath is one of the best of
home remedies; there is scarcely an
illness where hot bath taken at the
beginning and, when possible, daily
throughout its course will not be of
great benefit.
Heavy wooden underwear over
heats the skin when you are indoors
and makes you sensitive to cold
when you go out of doors. It also
makes the skin inactive, so that
many impurities which should be
carried off through the skin are re-
tanned in the body.
Tobacco in any form prevents the
proper digestion of the food; it also
hinders the body in taking up and
using the food. Thus tobacco is an
anti-fat; while it may prevent the
fat men from getting fatter, it pre-
vents the thin man from getting
as heavy as he should. To-
bacco affects different people in a
different degree; some persons ap-
parently, are harmed but little by
large quantities, while others are
hurt considerably by only small
quantities. -Hygienist Magazine.

Look Out For Them.

From different parts of the country
come stories of a swindle success
fully worked on farmers who thought
they were going to get cheap grocer
les. Two smooth strangers went
through the communities taking or
ders for house in Chicago, pre-
tending to sell standard brand of
sugar and flour SO cheaply that every
farmer visited took from $40 to 500
worth, and other things besides.
Because of the low prices the -four
and sugar had to be "paid in adj
vance" 1t is alleged that in one
community the swindlers picked up
some $4,000 and no groceries deliv-
cred.

That Sinful Printer.

Unobserved and unannounced the
president of church society entered
the composing room just in time te
hear these words issue from ths
mouth of the boss printer:
Chilly, go to the devil and tell hin
to finish that murder he began this
morning. Then kill William J
Bryan's Youngest Grandchild,' and
dump the Sweet Angel of Mercy in
to the hellbox. Then make up that
Naughty Partisan Actress and lock
up The Lady in Her Boudoir.'
Horrified the good woman fed
from that place of sin, and now her
children wonder why they are not al
lowed to play with the printers

Fresh cider, 25c gallon. P. M.
Harding.

Young man, are you dependab lei
Is your employers reliance mis-
placed, or his confidence justified by
your every day conduct? Are you
delivering day by day with all the
might that is in you2 In the alb
sence of supervision, are you shirk-
ing and "soldiering" or working
at the same high head of pressure
and cheerfulness that greets the
foreman's or employers eye?
There is no trait of character that
more surely makes for genuine sue
cess than thorough dependability,
that implies a degree of capacity, a
full measure of integrity and a will
to do the thing that lies before you.
The swift flying passenger train,
with its burden of human life,
illustrates the point exactly. 1t is
essential that you keep on straight
track. The fewer curves you en-
counter the less danger you will be
in. The train reaches its destination
because it follows a track, and SO
you will reach desired goal by
doing likewise. Like the pulsating,
throbbing engine you must have a
great reserve of physical power.
Your organs and functions must not
be impaired by disease or dissipation
any more than the mechanical part
and functions of the locomotive may
be rusted or weakened. A broken |
aange, a stripped driving wheel, a
weak draw bar, too excessive speed,
,arelessness, all invite destruction
and death. And so will you young
nan. If you would succeed, inspect
Yourself regularly and keep your
mind and body at that high state of
efficiency, willingness, and dependa-
'ility that characterizes every detail

Singular Things in Plural.

Well begin with box, and the plu
raj is boxes;
But the plural of OK should be oxen
not oxes.
Then one fowl is a goose, but two
are geese;
Yet the plural Of moose should new
er be meese.
You may find lone mouse or a
whole lot of mice;
But the plural of house is houses,
not hice.
If the plural of man is always called
men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be
called pen?
The COW in plural may be COWS or
kline,
But bow if repeated, is never called
bine;
And if speak of foot, and you show
me your feet,
And | give you boot, would pair
be called beet?
If one is tooth and whole set are
teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth
be called beeth7
If the singular's this and the plural
these,
Should the plural of kiss be nick
named keese?
Then one maybe that, and three
would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be
And the plural for cat is cats, not
cose.
We speak of brother and also of
brethren;
But though we say mothers, we new
er say methren.
The masculine pronouns are he, his
and him;
But imagine the feminine, she, shis
and SHIN.
So the English, l think you all will
agree,
Is the most wonderful language you
ever did see.

Sick headache is nearly always caused by
disorders of the stomach. Correct them and

disappear. Mrs. John Bishop of Roseville,
Ohio, writes: "About year ago l was trou-

that lasted for two or three days at time.

Eimpassioned warning. says N ex-

|9ersi in the path Of persons who
have 4 small lump sum Of money =
The judge had become exas-
perated over the large number
Of court cases coming before him
due to the failure Of such small
enterprises. He found that the
appalling rate Of ninety-seven per
cent. II al these small bust
nesses" went on the rocks with
in q short time after their estab-
Ishment and that men and women
might as well throw their money
into the gutter as to take the risk
of beginning at the commercial
bottom" He named specific in
stances and proved his case.
The same condition complained
of by the Manchester Judge un-
doubtedly prevails largely in the
United States and is one of the
distressing features of our mod
ern life and is undoubtedly caused
by the overpowering force of
large businesses and large for
tunes. Mans instinct is to be in
dependent to operate ION his
own account" even if in a small
way and one cannot regret condi-
tons that turn all but the few
! ito employees. It is an abnormal
ity that the richer the land the
less opportunity the poor man
has to feel. and TO be Independent.
One OF the finest of modern
writer's is Issac Loeb Perez whose
tales of the poor in Poland and
Galicia are works of wonderful
art. Until he has read Perez an
American cannot realize what
poverty truly means. Our fiercest
Nightmares could not give us
glimpses Of such city-wide and
province-wide distress. where a
scrap of bread smeared with an
onion is a feast and the posses
sion of fifty dollars is considered,
in all seriousness, a fortune.
And yet, amid such poverty and
because of such poverty, the
small business is possible and the
man who has acquired the scanti-
est Of capitals can launch into
business with confidence of sue
cess, assured in advance of that
feelingo Of independence that not
even the trust president can have
who is subject to the within or
the self-interest of controlling in-
terests. /
The British judge grows peevish
in his arraignment 4of the men
who foolishly attempt to establish
small businesses" but it seems
to us that those men may be fool
hardy and for their own interest
