DAILY HEALTH TALKS
Good Health Is in Your Own
~. Hands ... =
b BY SAMUEL HAMILTON, NJ. D.

The man who said people dig their
graves with their teeth" uttered truth
that goes clear to the bottom Of the health
question. Suppose you should take every
thing YOU eat and drink for breakfast,
everything you eat and drink for dinner,
everything you eat and drink for supper,
and mix all together in one mass. 1t would
surely be Q dreadful mixture TO look upon.
And yet your stomach is obliged to dispose
OF that unsightly mass each dayl Isit any
wonder so many people have indigestion,
dyspepsia, backache, headache, bad blood,
liver complaint, skin diseases, nervousness,
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis and
goodness knows what else? Yes, people
dig their graves with their teeth, and before
the end comes they pass through one sick
ness or trouble after another. You should
be glad to know that Dr.. Pierce, Of Buffalo,
has placed in the drug stores a medicine
called Golden Medical Discovery that can
be depended upon to overcome many of
the diseases named above. 1t may seem
impossible for one medicine to do so much,
but really the whole thing is as simple as
the figure l. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery corrects the disordered condi-
tons in q sick stomach, aids digestion, acts
as a tonic and purifics the blood. When
this is done, away 60 the diseases that are
caused by q sick stomach. If you are
digging your grave with your teeth, stop
today. Correct your stomach disorders
right now with Golden Medical Discovery,
and henceforth eat for your health's sake.
If you don't know what foods are best for
you, write DR.. Pierce, Pres. lnvalids'
Hotel, Buffalo. N Y, and receive conf
dental medical advice without charge.
Golden Medical Discovery is made with.
out alcohol or opiates, so anybody and
everybody can take itwith safety. Its put

 Hayes was himself a sergeant first class in headquarters detachment and Jim Crough, another old sourdough prospector and miner, served in simi- lar capacity in Company E. Both men were in command from time to time of the big labor gangs engaged in the work of construction and maintenance of the camp and it was around the work of non-commissioned officers of this class that Pontenezen was build ed into the greatest military camp in history
 Lieutenant Jim Weller before his enlistment was a mining engineer ex- amining placers in the territory. Weller served a short time as master engineer, and was then discharged for the purpose of accepting com uiiooiou as IISI llSutSllahI, anu Hc lo- mained with the regiment in that rank until the day of it's muster out.
 Other Alaskans serving in Brest, though not members of the 519th en- gineers, were Lieutenant Howard F. Curtis and Major Jack Barker. Be- fore the entry of Curtis into the serv- ice he was in charge of government railroad commissaries at Nenana, and prior to that time he was agent of the Northern Commercial Company at Hot Springs and other points. In Brest Curtis was in charge of army warehouses of supply, and millions of dollars worth of property passed through his hands. More recently he was in charge of the lighterage of men from the docks in Brest to the returning transports, and was en- gagged in that work when the 519th engineers left for the homeland.
 Major Barker was best known for his work in the land office in Fair banks, and while in Brest was in con- trol of street traffic, besides holding. down other important assignments.
 Hundreds of other old sourdoughs passed through Brest from time to time, but the men named above are

this temptation, the one to which
the mother of all mankind herself
yielded, and which throughout the
ages has been Immediately coinci-
dent with the awakening of the vital
spark itself in all forms of conscious
life, from the beast in the cave to
the babe in the mansion?
Byron lives in Beatrice, Neb.
He is bright, sunny of dispcsi-
ton and likeable. The sheriff likes
him and says so. He is in Jail at
Beatrice, awaiting transportation to
the reformatory, and, says the story:
SHERIFF Shiek gives his youthful
prisoner every attention. The lad
appears to feel perfectly at home.
and spends his time reading and
playing about the corridors of the
Jail as though he were in school;
the sheriff says he is a bright little
fellow, very polite and he enjoys
his company"
The boy was arrested for stealing
some books from the public
library.
The telegraph dispatch as sent
out from Beatrice said: Byron
Michael, "a 12-year-old boy of this
city, was arraigned in court this
morning on charge of stealing %
books from the public library.

nine years in the state reformatory,

| Any boy who will read, or who
can be made to read, is plastic ma,
terial from which can be built any
character, almost any character tina,
is wiued.
And this is a boy who doesn't
have to be driven.
He is receptive, he is clay, bright
intelligent, polite, and likeable, gaa-
ing up trustfully into the eyes Of
those about him, too young yet to
know or conceive of anything the
world has in store for him, and
with that mischief and love of life
shining in his eyes that may lead
him to make his mark in the world

tiary if he is allowed to, 60 into

the life of service to others.
The life of such service to others

He Can Be Pardoned.
I'm asmuch as We do this unto
others"
SO has it been said
This boy can be pardoned,
He will be pardoned, if a help
ing hand is held out to him. If
there is anyone who will give him
the chance he should have, and for
which he himself is too young to

But give this child his chance,
anyway.
Is he to be denied his chance be-
cause another proved unworthy?
This is an age OF service. 1t is
the great age Of service. 1t is an
age of the rights of men. Men are
today demanding as their rights, in
stead of as favors, those things
which are their natural heritage.
This child's claim to chance is
his by right and not by favor.
And his chance does not lie in
the reformatory. That is not
fair chance. How happy you would

Officer Jess Walker, who first ar.
rested the boy, stated that he was
a bad egg"
Will Be a Better Boyl
HE undoubtedly will be bet
ter boy when he is released" says
the county attorney.
Will he? N
In the answer to that question
lies the heart of the solution of this
child's entire life.
If he would be better boy there
than he would under the influence
of his parents or of foster parents
who would give him the care and
attention that boy of his years
needs, the wisdom of the courts ac-
ton could not be denied.
But the conviction turks that he
will not be better boy.
A child is won by love and not by
fear.
A child can be depressed and
driven by fear--the fear which is
the authority at the state reforma-
tory, or any kindred institution, but
the very thing that it is sought to
repress and drive out will simply
break forth anew with redoubled
force when the fear or repression is
removed.
Love, only, can train and shape a
child's character.
And if this love is lacking in those
places where it naturally should be
manifested toward the child, then
the state should find means of sup
plying it.
To Foster Parents.
1t is the duty of the state, of So
ciety, of the, state of Nebraska Ill
which this child was born, to give
it a chance. :.
1t is the duty of the state and of
its citizens to give it regular
child's chance.
1t must supply what is missing,
and what is needed in this childs
life.
Love and kindly counsel and
guardianship has been missing.
The reformatory cannot supply
this. ..
No matter how kindly hearted the
reformatory officials and teachers
are, the constant daily struggle with
a band of children such as they have
to handle is such as to wear upon
their nerves, and is not conducive to
the calm, and equable and patient
disposition which is so important in
handling children.
Needs a Home.
The child needs a real home, not
a reformatory.
A home probably would do more
good in week than the reformatory
in two months, and a year more
good than the entire nine at the

reflection brought into view wide
vista of speculation-was it possible
for the story to be true? What
could the judge have been thinking
of to visit such an enormity on the
youthful culprit? What will the
boys life be during those nine
years, and what will he be when he
comes from the reformatory at the
end, fully developed human being
who walks forth into a world of
which he knows naught but what
little has filtered through the walls
of his prison, a youth whose every
moment of life has been guarded,
watched, spied into, and repressed,
who will know naught of the ordi-
nary joys of other boys, of school
days, fishing, base ball, foot ball,
and of the movies? What will he
do, and what storms of anger, re-
sentiment and undying hatred will
seeth in his mind when he advances
into the life of his fellow men, walks
freely for the first time in his life
down the crowded streets, beholds
the joyous crowds and wondrous
glories to be seen on every hand,
and reflects on what he has been
robbed of during those precious
nine years of the 20 allotted to him
in this life?
His Second Offense.
! Inquiry was made, and it was
learned that the story was true.
He had stolen, he was but IL
years old, and he was a bright, sum
ny-tempered, likeable little boy
but it was his second offense, and
Instead of 80 books, it was 50
books.
His first offense had been that of
going into house and apparently
gathering up everything lying loose
that he could carry away, includ-
ing some silverware and SIS in
money. He had been arrested, made
confession, the money taken from
him, and the stolen goods given
back to the householder.
The books had been taken a few
at time, Byron throwing them
out back window of the library, |
and later going around, collecting |
them, and taking them to a place
where he could read them.
A Lover of Books.
The story continues:
An investigation conducted by
the authorities revealed the fact that |
young Michael, who is a great reader
and lover of books, had thrown
few of them through back window
Of the library at times when he
visited the place."
Now the father is an employe of
q local mill, and, the story says:
The parents of the child appear to
be satisfied with the sentence of the
court; they are of the opinion that
the reform school is the proper place
Tor him, their son.
So
This l2-year-old reader and lover
of books, whose parents think the
