the general health Of the family II
warmer weather when everyone is more
orr less addicted to the 'ice-wateI

manner In which the housewife buys Ice

Ice is very often harmful. The reason Il
simple. IL the Ice happens to be not alb.

contains innurnerable germs Freezing
does not destroy these germs, and when
the ice melts in water they are pleas
antly released to go forward on their
vicious careers! $50
The only safe method Is to chill water
not to iceit. Either distilled or boiled
water which has been allowed to cool ia

when chilled. One ingenious mother
realizing the great temptation OF chop

water on a warm day, keeps a goodiy
supply of chilled water on the shdeboard

This is her metbod. She balls water
every morning. chills part of'it-as much

which Is kept on the sldeboard. The

ance that Is worth the price.
There is a difference I'm ice which the

but IL Is also the more costly In the long

large quantities II has a really deep blue

Before the Ice Is placed in the re-

ton to the refrigerator. Less careful
housekeepers often find that the pipes

traceable to the indifferent habit OF
putting ice into tho refrigerator without
washing the surface. Particles melting

Journey

N European woman in the city

me. How can these delightful,
sunny-tempered little women be
the wives and mothers OF such dyspep-
tic-looking men?" She pointed to the
men hurrying about the street dressed
IN western clothes, and looking as de-
pressed as though they were going TO
their own funerals. Then she indicated
the gay. little chubby-faced women in
their graceful native costumes. There
was a contrast, but, OF course. she had
overstated IL.
But IL some of the men Of Kobe do
look bit worn with life. the children
do not take after them. They are as
chubby and as sunny-tempered as their
charming mothers.
Perhaps one of the reasons why the
children seem to enjoy life Is because
they are out doors much OF the time.

marvellous cherry trees in blossom. or

Its suange but always lovely flowers,

Variation in
Pulse Rate
Explained
By DIR. L. K. HIRsHRERc

THE pulse Is the long reach of the
heart. II is the throbbIns vi
brstion Of your blood-fed, engine.
Engines are standardized ac-
cording TO the number of revolutions
per minute. Man by the number OF
his pulsations. When your engine puffs
and throbs according to the standard
for the average man. your pulse "beats''
from seventy to seventy-five times to
the minute.
with each beat and contraction of the
heart, there r. a wave OF impulse wrtg-
Cling Its way along tho blood to the
farthest reaches OF the skin. This if,.-
pulse IL the pulse. II there is any dis
turbance In the. good. red. healthful
blood to wind IT'S snuous, sparkling
way along the veins and sanguinary
channels, the pulse will be tile first
part. of the living machine to indicate
trouble.
The Interpretation OF the pulse rate
in relation to health at once suggests
the bearing OF the pulse in the daily
routine OF man. No observations are
more frequently taken by physician
than those on the pulse rate,
logne, Germany. the average pulse rate
OF persons free from heart defects Is
fifty-nine Der minute during sleep and
seventy-four when awake The varia-
lions In the pulse rate during sleep are
far less marked than during waking
rest
During sleep In the daytime the pulse
beats OF baby three months old was
about ninety beats per minute. and that
Of another baby of three months 100 per
minute.
Slight movements which were visible
practically always elevated the pulse
rate from ten to twenty beats, while
violent exercise. such as nursing ,or cry
ing, increased the pulse rate from nifty
to sixty beats. When the pulse was
hurried for twenty minutes-as II was
when nursing-it took about ten minutes
after the cxerciae was finished for the
pulse rate to reach the normal.
Sometimes Il dropped below normal
after continued exercise. and remained
there from three TO Ave minutes. The
pulse. therefore, did not reach the aver
age In some instances until fifteen min
utcs after the muscular exercise was
finished.
Thus II Is plain why running. dancing,
athletic activity and gymnastics of all
sorts augment the number OF beats even
of a strong. normal pulse.
f. ]. F.-wiii you please tell me
whether taking olive oil Ia beneficial to
the system? / am neither sick nor all
Ing. but think II may make me stronger.
Olive oil is splendid tonic. Yes. l
would suggest your taking a tablespoon
full after each meal.
