bill providing for the retention
of the present daylight saving hours
until rescinded by Congress was
passed in the Senate last Thursday,
and now goes to the House. The
present law calls for the setting back
of the clocks to the old schedule on
October "a. Down here in Maine,
where we burn candles at both ends
of the day in winter, even under the
old time, it is pretty hard to see
where the daylight-saving comes in.
Phewl Think of getting up next
winter two or three hours before
daylight, and going to work in the
starlight, with the thermometer
twenty Eve to thirty below zero!
That additional morning hour, when
We ought to be tucked snugly under
the blankets, will be hard one to
heat, too. How much fuel will we
save by heating that hour, instead of
an hour in the evening, when the
furnace is shut off anyway?

Mineral Waters

Why are mineral waters harmful? Are
they not natures remedies? ILLINOIS.
Laxative mineral waters are harmful,
because they irritate the mucous mem
brane and in time produce intestinal
catarrh. They also expose the liver and
kidneys to the harmful effects of over
work. Mineral waters are no more nat
ural healing agencies than are minerals
themselves. No one would think of rec
ommendinG iron pyrites or limestone as
a healing agent; neither arc the great
salt beds or alkali deposits regarded as
natural healing agents. Mineral waters
are simply rain water which has been
contaminated by coming in contact with
various mineral substances while per-
colating through the earth.
Mineral waters are in no way benc-
fetal to healthy man. They may. in
some instances, prove of temporary serv-
Ice In emergencies, but their constant
use Is now recognized as being highly
detrimental. Many European physicians
who formerly recommended mineral wa
ters very freely to their patients now
condemn their use for the reasons above
stated.
There are many excellent natural wa
ters which are remarkable for their eX-
treme purity or freedom from both min
eral contamination and germs or bac-
terra. Such waters may be used freely,
not only without harm, but even with
very great safety and advantage.

BY J. H. KELLOGG, M. D., LII. D.

NNE of the most common forms Oh
" nerve trouble is neuralgia, and one
OF the most serious types of neuralgi"
is sciatica. II announces Itself py
dull, heavy ache in the back and upper
portion of the thigh. The palm graduaiIy
becomes more intense and is increased
by moving of the affected limb. some
times there are cramps in the muscles OF
the limb.
Sciatlca is perhaps the most common
OF all forms of neuralgia. A patient
who has had one attack is much more
liable TO subsequent ones. Tho disease
sometimes passes away in a few days
but generally lasts from four to twelve
weeks, and may become chronic.
The causes Of sciatica are essentially
tho same as those which produce other
neuralgia. 1t Is sometimes produced
by sitting on n hard chair long time
Severe cXertlon Of the limbs also some
times eXcites an attack a predisposi-
tion TO the disease Is produced ny
weak or depressed state of the system
Cases occur in which prolapse OF the ao-
domlnal visccra and irritation of the
abdominal sympathetic nerve are inc
cause
The best means Of relieving sciatica
Is to got into a tub of hot watcr--aS
hot as you can stand It. Then, after
minute or two, let in n little cold water ;
then, after another minute, put in moro
hot water. Thus continue the boiling
process until you arc as red as the So
called "boiled lobster" By this time the
pain will have disappeared. Ten or NJ
teen minutes of this kind of treatment
will cure the most obstinate cases OF
sciatica if it IL repeated a few times.
Whenever the pain returns get into the
tub and undergo another boiling process
The pain-relicving power of heat IL
one of the most remarkable facts III
therapeutics. Opium kills" pain we
say. but II kills pain by making YOU OBJ
livious OF it. Heat, on the contrary
kills pain by actually destroying IT,
When one takes q dose of opium the
pain Is relieved, but when the opium is
gone the pain is still there, and the
next time requires a bigger dose OF
opium; but when we kill pain by heat
the pain is dead. 1t is gone, and If 1t
comes back 1t IS not SO severe as it was
before. and another dose is more likely
70 bring relief than was the first one.
The best way TO cure sciatica. Of
course. is to live above ito keep the
resistance so high that ones nerves
are unassailablc. Plain. wholesome
food. no tobacco in any form. no alco-
holic liquors--including wines-penty
Of slecp--at least eight hours exercise
In the outdoors. and an utter banish-
mcnt of worry-follow that plan and
you will not have to cure sciatica, be-
cause you won't have II.

memories Of Il war that Is bigger than
the Civil War was. And that's Il good
big bit too!
For the best part about the sCraphook
habit was that it was cduCativc. 1t got
people into the habit of preserving ar
tcles which were worth preserving. ln-
stead of being read hastily and tossed
aside, those articles were kept in place
where they could be referred to again
and again, until they had become fixed in
the readers memory. If your Eranddad
was bcttcr-nformcd old gentleman
than your father, be sure that the scrap
book played its part in his education.
Women in particular are taking UP the
old craze anew. Not only are they clip
ping and pastinE the newspaper records
of the patriotic service with which their
husbands, their sons or their sweet
hearts are indcntiiicd, but they are also
preserving the daily accounts of the
ways In which the new freedom" of
women is being manifested The intel
lectual activities of their sisters. the ar
guments for and against the extension
OF the ballot to women. the entrance OF
women into all sorts of occupations
which are new to them-all these are
matters which are OF keen interest today
and which, if preserved, will be inValu-
able for reference in later years.
Many women have chosen, as
nucleus for these collections, theSi 'Edi-
torials for Women by Women" which
began publication in the EVENING PUB
Lie LEDGER a few days ago. These re-
markable articles, written by such au-
thoritics as DIR. Anna Howard Shaw, the
sage Of the woman suffrage movement;
Miss Mary H. lngham and other women
of keen intellect, are certain TO form
storehousc of Informative comment on
current affairs which will repay their
preservation for years
Yes, the old-f fashioned scrapbools,
with n new face, has certainly returned
to instruct, amuse and cheer the pres
ent generation. Get oUt your shears
and paste, if you would be in the pro-
Cession.

me 10 wait Tor her and L have walked out

thcy told me lots of horrid things about

need to discuss her with your friends
nor to discuss these friends with her,
