SToNING THE PROPHETS


Stonine the prophets is an ancient
pastime which survives, the missiles,
however. being lingual rather than
lapidarian. But It has not gone en-
tirely out of fashion to prosecute
the man who disturbs an existing
order. We are less brutal, or rather,
our brutality is more refined. 1t
used to be butchery. 1t is now large
ly ostracism. But there is still the
old-time kick in this business of
persecution.
1t is a gruesome picture that is
given US in the Apocalypse of "a
woman drunken with the blood of
the saints" 1t is a pen picture of
the spirit that ~persecutes a man for
his opinions. This spirit is called
a woman, for the female of the
species is more deadly than the
male" This is a way of depicting
the infamy of stoning the prophets.
The pastime goes merrily IN. Let
a man suggest a reform before the
world is ready for il, and the stones
begin to fall. Let him proclaim an
idea hostile to special privilege, and
the drunken mi staggers out
and clamors for his blood.
This is the prophets portion. This
is the price that must be paid for
getting ahead of you age.
OF course there are se~lf-elected
martyrs who invite persecution,
whose heroics is make-believe, and
who covet stones, mistaking notori-
ETY. for fame. A good drubbing is
not amiss for these pious frauds.
But the real prophet, who loves
his cause better than he loves his
life, deserves something finer. He
- Tho fnEaErH1nn Af hAtNA- Nf.aA.
His song is the harbinger of the
morning. He wakens the drugged
world with his call and lifts sodden
society with the hosting power of a
great idea.
His & may stone him, but the
next will crown him, for the mar
tyrs of today are the saints of to-
morrow; and the verdict of heaven
for the prophets who are stoned is
"of whom the world was not
worthy

HEALTH ADVICE
Dict For Nursing Mothers.

The diet for a nursing mother
needs to be appetizinS. nutritious
and laxative. AS a rule. she may
follow her choice of food, avoid
ing foods which she has learned
disturb her digestion, as these
will disturb the baby.
If the milk is scanty. a more
generous diet is indicated. She
should take more fresh milk, eggs,
fresh vegetables, ripe fruit, nour-
ishing liquid food and drink
plenty of water. avoiding tea and
coffee and all alcoholic prepara-
tons or patent medicines.
Constipation should be guarded
against. Fresh fruits are laxa-
tive. SO are bran biscuits or bran
added to the whole wheat -four.
Whole wheat bread is more nour-
ishing than white bread and does
not constipate. A glass of hot
water the first thing on rising in
the morning has a beneficial ac-
ton on the bowels.
The following diet is recon-
mended for mothers:
All kinds of soups.
All kinds of fresh fish, boiled or
broiled.
Meats, once a day, beef mutton,
lamb, veal, ham, bacon. chicken or
turkey.
Eggs-freely n or two each
day.
All cooked cereals with milk and
cream and sugar.
All stale bread, avoiding fresh
bread and rich cake.
All green vegetables-peas, string
beans. asparagus, cauliflower, spin
ach, white and sweet potatoes. cell
cry, lettuce and other plain salads
with oil.
Deserts of plain custard or pud-
ding, ice cream; no pastry.
Fruits should be taken freely: all
ripe, raw fruits and cooked fruits
DrinkS-Milk, buttermilk, cocoa
and plenty of water, n or two
quarts daily: tea and coffee spar
No beer or other alcoholic drinks.
White Spots on the Tongue.

e A. Surely you must realize
that it is impossible merely on the
basis of your letter to determine
the nature of your ailment. The
term indigestion" is almost mean
ingless, for it is a symptom which is
observed with a large number OF
diseases, some of them traceable to
the stomach, some to the kidneys
some to the heart and others to still
other causes. BY all mean go to a
qualified physician. and have him
find out exactly what is wrong.

WOMEN EXERT QUEER POWER
Sisters Dwelling on Mysterious Mount
in Burma Undoubtedly Able
to Charm Reptiles.

In the Businesses of Mount POpa, a
Mysterious sacred mount in Burma,
i've two sisters who have achieved u
wide reputation for their uncanny pow
ers in charming deadly snakes. Ma
Hpwa and her sister are the only living
exponents of an art which has been
handed down from generation to gen.
Grafton within the circle of their family.
Their secret is most rigidly preserved,
and at their death will be passed on to
their neXt-Of-kin, as it was handed on
to them by their parents.
In great number of cases SO-called
snake-c harmers swindle the public by
extracting the poison fangs of their
pets, thereby rendering themselves safe
from accident. There is tragic proof,
however, to the genuine nature of the
performance of Ma Hpwa and her fam
ily in the death of a sister who disre-
King cobras are the snakes these re-
markable women use. During the per
Torrance of charming the snakes an

CONDIMENTS OF MUCH VALUE
Spices Used in FIaVoring Not General
Iy Given Credit for Their Good
Qualities.

Some of the spices that are often
employed in f1avoring preserves, both
of fruits and meats, have a value that
is more important than the mere tick
ling of the palate. An investigation
recently made in France shows that
vinegar is not only an excellent pre-
sentative but a powerful means of kill
ing bacteria.
Ginger, black, white and red pepper
have little bactericidal effect, but the
action of mustard is most marked.
However, the best of all are cloves and
cinnamon, which act through their es-
sential oils (called eugenol and CHINA
mic aldehyde.
La Nature remarks that these re-
searches are highly important, for they
show that, even in the small quantities
in which they are used these spices
may be employed In preserving far bet
ter than chemical antiseptics, such as
boric and salicylic acids, which are
often added, though the French law
prohibits their use.
