Negro Spirituals Born
in Earliest Slave Era

The slave or negro spirituals are
the outpourings of suppressed peo-
pie who were under the yoke of the
brutal slave system. The Gulf states
Of the South were the worst offend
ers, and the songs reflect the condi-
tion of the poor people who lived
there. Running through the whole
series Of these natural, untutored
songs, observes a writer in the
Montreal Herald, one is struck by
the deep expectation of life to
come, and by the sense of person
al communion with the Deity. There
is no doubt of the future life. The
Eighteenth century negro was posi-
i've when he sang, II know de Lord
aid His hands on me-" but his

Daily Range of Temperature.


One of the mistakes often made
by intelligent individuals is to take
their temperature from time to time
during the day, and count the rate
at which the heart is beating. In
fact, instruments are now seen
showing the blood pressure Of any
one who wants to spend dime or
twenty-five cents in this manner.
Your temperature, the rate at
which your heart beats, and your
blood pressure all vary throughout
the day, all three being at their low
est or slowest on aWaking in the
morning Any little excitement. eat
ing food, taking exercise, will all
increase the temperature, pulse
rate, and blood pressure. Even the
hour of the day and night has its
effect upon these measurements,
the temperature particularly being
at its highest point at o'clock
in the afternoon and at O. clock at
night
We should all remember also that
the daily range of temperature in
the average individual is about two
degrees; thus the temperature may
be 81 degrees in the early morn
ing and SO at p. m. or p. m. and
be considered normal. Changes in
the pulse rate and blood pressure
also are found according to the time
of day or the habits of the individ-
ual.
Thus variations in temperature
during the day are a normal cOndi-
ton and each Individual seems to
have a temperature range of his
own. DR.. H. A. Reiman. Mime
apolis, Mimi, in Clinical Medicine
and Surgery, says:
Every normal person has tenn
perature range of his own which,
fo rhin, is normal, even though
it may be higher than the average
or usual range. When a patient like
this consults physician, he should
be given thorough and searching
examination and, if no underlying
organic disease is found, this nor
mall variation in temperature
should be explained to him. thus

Normal Fat Is Needed.

Every overweight would be better
physically if they were to rid them
selves of their excess or surplus"
fat, but every individual-fat, thin
or average-needs certain
amount, or a normal" amount OF
fat in and on the body.
The normal amount of fatty tis-
sue is very useful in the body not
only as a reserve" food or fuel but
as padding about the nerve end
ings and to buoy up the abdominal
organs and keep them in place. Ac-
cordingly the very thin person is al
most sure to be high strung and
nervous, and unless special care is
taken to prevent it, the organs are
apt to sag out of normal posi-
ton.
In addition the poorly nourished
muscle tissues become flabby and
relaxed, including the muscles of the
walls of the abdomen and the
muscle coats of the intestine.
There is no disease in any par
ticular organ, but the organs are
not in their right positions and there
is a lack of tone or elasticity in the
muscle tissues of the organs; they
just do not do their work properly
and cause these symptoms of in

Silver Fox Preferred
Enormous peach gladioli

adorned the salon, which was
brimming over with ladies,
for the most part swathed IN
silver fox, and gentlemen,
conservatively attired, chat

summers.
No one could have been
disappointed in the buffet
set up in the adjoining salon,
for it was a super de luxe al
fair-carrying out the repu-

de resistance was that be-
