GAINED 50 PUUNDS AFTER
SUFFERING SIX YEARS
Mrs. Roberts, of Columbia, Vain

After Taking Two Bottles of TanIuc
She Was Strong Enough TO Box
With Her Son.

Prompted by feeling OF graft
tude that apparently was deep and
sincere, NJ. A. Roberts. of 731 AS
sembly street, Columbia, one OF this
city's we'll known plumbers. told n
story that will necessarily make a
deep impression upon many, for il
is story of human suffering and of
the means which brought feeling
of contentment, peace and good will
toward men,"

discouraged. We saw almost every

someone who had been greatly heiped

a trial. We certainly are thankful
we did. and we are also thankful We
were priviledged to get it.
This is the reason: Mrs. Roberts

sis" as n poem much quoted, little
read. and still less lived up to. VIII
liam Cullen Bryant succeeded mighty
well in condensing into this one poem
the great philosophy OF life. The life
he conceived Of was not puny strug-
CLING OF mortal beings upon desc
late and trouble-riddcn planet, not of
a bunch OF animals endowed with
Just little more Intelligence than
beasts and birds and fishes Life to
him meant Il preparation for some
thing better for the individual. and
not only that. but as a contribution to
the composite bettcrment of all hu-
mankind His outlook upon eternity
was clear and serene and left no tinge
OF great sorrow or despair as the ac-
compartments Of dissolution. II peo-
pie are too much afraid OF being
classod as fanatics or goodygoodies to
read their Bibles and conform their
life thereto, which is the best and
only sure guide yet given to man, why
then can they not accept the words of
poet showing them the highest am
bitons OF humanity in relation to
their best results? Somebody says

faith In the goodness of God and in
his plan OF salvation death is more
than Bryant pictured II. It is not
simply wrapping the drapery Of our
couch about US and lying down 10
pleasant dreams. Rather 1t is a tri-
umphal entry into the portals Of our
eternal home and-'u farewell to all
things that trouble and make afraid.
It Is wrong, then, for the Christian to
mourn for those that are gone. Like
the graduation In tho school. there is
regret at the breaking of old ties and
affections, but he who has gone forth
has only gone home where the great
est and most glorious accomplish
ments are possible TO him and he is
relieved from the impediment Of sin
and human weakness to rise to
heights OF happy existence to which
there is no limit in space or time.
Who would not rejoice TO graduate
into such life as that?

when II Is hot so we could have a
greater range to change on when the
cold comes. II Is not how much we
wear that keeps us warm. but the
difference in amount with which we
meet the changes. The doctors are
very insistent on the wisdom Of being
warmly clothed" which is a wise
prccaution If we value health, but
that is only one side OF the story.
There are other doctors who Will tell
you, II you show n desire to be in
formed on the subject that being
warmly clothed is not necessarily be-
ing heavily clothed. 1t is altogether
dependent upon what you are accus-
toned to, and II is really Just as I'm
portant to reduce the amount of
clothing under some circumstances as
1t is to increase it under others.

job of II without artificial assistance.
The office Of clothing. then from Il
health standpoint, is to assist the eff
forts of nature. The fault we have
fallen into is of looking to artificial
means to do the whole job. The con-
sequence is that the vital powers are
weakened by coddling and become in
sufficient for the task, then we have
TO put on more clothing In other
words, the more clothing we habitu-
ally wear, the more We will have to
add in emergency Nature is given no
chance and learns to loaf on the Job,
so We become a race OF weddings
shivering from every chilly blast. and
have to seek comfort In steamheated
rooms and ponderous overcoats. Those
who are accustomed to labor In the
open air, where loads Of clothing
would be an impediment. do not have
to resort to these devices That Is
what we mean when we say that we
have made clothing, which should be
our useful servant, tyrannical and
enerVating master.

THESE CHILLY MORNINGS.

Now that the intense heat of sum
mer is passing away and we get up
In the morning with the conviction
that the clothing We wore in July will
not serve the purpose very well IN
October the time is propiticus to
study the philosophy OF clothes and
what part they play In contributing
70 our comfort and preserving our
health II takes very little indiscre-
tion to involve US with great big
cold, and we begin to take steps to In
crease the number and weight of our
garments. We are speaking now from
p practical point OF view and not taxi
Ing into account the hysterical plants
of the clothing merchant. whose In
terest lies in getting you out of one
seasons apparel and into al other az
quickly as possible. The matter OF
being up-to- date in the seasons styles
is altogether another question from
the philosophy of clothing per Sc. I'm
less clothes can he discussed under
the head Of its usefulness as aids to
comfort and health, the matter Of
whether it conforms TO certain arbi-
trary standards Of custom or DEGREES
OF fashion is only worth CONSULTING

OF every man and woman to look well
is laudable II II goes no farther than
that but when It becomes the chief
consideration IT is . curse.
The primal conclusion Of those who
have studied this matter is that the
American people are at a disadyan-
tage in their battle against the ele-
ments because they are In the habit
Of overdressing. This is not so true
now as It vas fifty years ago, for n
great many have set up for them
selves 4 sort Of sartorial declaration
OF independence, but "hgh society"
still frowns on any departure from
the conventionat Convention itself Is
an arbitrary thing and Is power
simply because the human animal
Graves the admiration and approval
of his fellows. There Is no abstract
merit I'm it. When the weather be-
gins to get cooler we have TO hunt up
warmer clothing is natural and
proper The trouble is that SO many
OF us have worn so much when the
thermometer was high. just because
It was conventional. that by the time
snow Is on the ground we have to
carry around with us great burden
OF apparel in order to be comfortable.
Every succeeding descent of the ther-
mometer calls for more. From this
point Of view Il would seem to be ad-
visable to lessen the amount we wear
