Daily Health Talks
GOING BACK TO NATURE.
BY DIR. W. LUCAS.

People get sick because they 60 away
from Nature, and the only way to get
well is to go back. Something grows out
of the ground in the form of vegetation
to cure almost every i'll. Some of these
vegetable growths are understood by
man, and some are not. Animals, it
would seem, know what to do when
they are sick better than men and
women. Observers have noted that a
sick horse, dog or cat will stop eating
food and seek out some vegetable
growth in the field or yard, which, when
found and eaten, often restores appetite
and health. Haven't you seen these
animals do this very thing yourselfP
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, long
since found the herbs and roots pro-
vlded by Nature to overcome constipa-
ton, and he had these vegetables col
lected and made up of Mayapple, leaves
Of Aloe, root Of Jalap, into little white
sugar coated pills, that he called DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. You must
understand that when your intestines
are stopped up, poisons and decayed
matter are imprisoned in your system,
and these are carried by the blood
throughout your body. Thus does
your head ache, you get dizzy, you
can't sleep, your skin may break out,
your appetite declines, you get tired
and respondent. AS matter of fact,
you may get sick all over. Don't you
see how useless all this suffering is
All that is often needed is a few of
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which he
has placed in all drug stores for your
convenience and health. Try them by
all means. They are probably the very
Wing you need right now.

HISTORY SHOWN BY FENCES
Various Kinds That Have Been In Use
at Different Times Mark the
Csuntry's Progress.

The progress and condition of our
settlements can be traced In our
fences. writes Alice Morse Earle, In
"Home Life i'm Colonial Days" As
Indians disappeared or succumbed. the
solid row of pales (stockade) gave
place to log fence. which served wen
to keep out depredatory animals. The
dangers from Indians or wild animals
entirely disappeared, boards were stiil
not over-pIenty. and the strength or

unnecessary fencing. Then came the

DAYS OF ATHENS GREATNESS
Emperor Hadrisn Did Much Toward
Making the City Religious Center
for All HeIias.

1t was during Hadrian's first visit
to Athens (about 124 A. d. that he
made plans for rebuilding the majestic
temple of Olympian Zeus. He added
signally to the adornment Of Athens
with many temples and other build
ings; he built an aqueduct to bring
the water of Cephissus to the city.
and at Corinth he constructed aque-
ducts to bring to that city the water
from Lake Stymphalus. Sparta was
then the most important city in the
PelOponneSus, and the visit of Ha-
drian there is established by an in
scription. He was absent from Rome
by way of Sicily, where he made the
ascent of Mount Etna to witness sun
rise. Gregorovius believes he has evil
dence that proves Hadrian to have
been in Athens again in the year 132
A. D., and he assumes that the great
temple of Olympian Zeus was then
completed and dedicated. Not for
centuries had Athens known any such
magnificent festival as that of the ded-
ication of this Olympieion. 1t was
made a national festival. with repre-
sentatives from every city in Greece,
as the Olympian Zeus was the new
religious center for all Hellas. The
dedicatory address was delivered by
Polemon of Smyrna, who was the most
celebrated Sophist of his day.-From

CAN EAT WAY THROUGH LEAD
Make Man Much Trouble lf Il
Existed in Quantities.

Probably most persons who read
the newspaper story of the discovery
by q Santa Barbara (Ca.) telephone
engineer of an insect that eats its
way through sheet lead thought 1t In
the same class with the ancient hoax
about ''the worm that eats steel
nails" which was perpetrated about
a quarter of century ago and still
reappears at intervals. One of the
editors of Engineering News. however.
has seen the insects, number of
which are held in captivity in lead
boxes with glass covers. to see how
long it will take them to bore their
way to freedom.
The insect is a slender black beetle
about a quarter Of an inch long. with
hard wing covers and of innocent and
placid demeanor. 1t is said to lighl
on lead-covered telephone cable and
bore tiny round hole through the
lead sheath and the paper insulation
down to the copper. Possibly it be-
lieves the cable to be part of a tree
or vine into which it is accustomed to
bore holes. and so it proceeds to bore
through the lead as It would through
the bark. Some persons think that
concealment is its motive; others that
the boring process is preliminary to
egg depositing.
The lead borers have been heard of
in South Bend, Ind, and Rockford,
H.. in Omaha, Tacoma, Portland and
San Diego; in Florida and in Austria
liza. The fact that numbers OF them
have been found in old lead foil tea
packages leads one to suspect that the
family is of oriental extraction

Why Lawn Is Called avn

Years ago the Dutch excelled all
other peoples in the bleached linens
they sent forth. That was In a time
OF course, when bleached linen was
considered luxury. The Dutch gain
ed their fame for this excellence be-
cause they had a wonderful system of
treating the muslin to make it white.
To begin with. they treated it to
Dieaches and acids of various sorts !:
and then they placed it on bleaching
lawns, or green's, where it lay at in

The Perfect Mind.

Truth is bigger than our minds, and
we are not the same with it, but have
a lower participation only OF the in
tellectuaI nature and are rather appre-
LENDERS than comprehenders thereof.
This is, indeed, one badge Of our crea-
turely state that we have not q per-
fectly comprehensive knowledge, or
such as is adequate and commensu-
rate to the essence Of things; from
whence we ought to be led to this ac-
acknowledgement that there is another
perfect mind or understanding being
above us in the universe from which
our imperfect minds were derived and
upon which they do depend.-Ralph
