Some Common Sense Hygiene

Are sickness and suffering “the mysterious manifestation of an all-wise Providence? We do not suffer unless we disobey nature's laws. We may violate the laws of man and yet not suffer, but when we violate the laws of nature she will grant, no pardon. Ignorance does not exempt us from paying the penalty. Improper food, lack of fresh air and of exercises are three prime factors of poor health. Often the chief cause of disease is laziness, for Idleness and good health are incompatible. The muscles of our body become strong and well developed by use. The muscles of the blacksmith or the prizefighter are powerful, strongly in contrast with the professional man who spends his days in an office without exercise. In his natural state the Indian had no diseases as we know them. He lives in the a open air, hunts and fishes and thus his blood circulates fast and is pure; disease germs cannot take hold of the tissue eells and destroy them. How often we hear people say “I feel so enervated in the morning." And is it any wonder when we shut our bed-room windows and stuff the cracks with old rags to keep out the pure air when it gets a little cold? On a winter night over and over again we breathe the same air which is robbed of its lifegiving property (oxygen) and laden with poison, Ajtohyslcian says no one living in and day will ever have pneumonia. Pure air is one of our greatest blessings and it is free, yet how often do we see little children kept indoors during cold weather for fear of taking cold. And aren’t these children always the ones that suffer with colds? Fresh air and exercise are just what they need. Many of us live to eat instead of eating to live. How often does a mother ruin her child’s digestive organs? The little child of only a few months is brought to the table and given a taste of this, that and the other, but having no teeth this food cannot be digested. The child should never be given anything but milk before he is ten months old, as doctors claim milk is the only food that can supply the material for the pearly hard white teeth. Hence we should never give a child food to che,w until it has well-formed teeth to chew with. All know that American people do not chew their food but bolt it down. But the stomach cannot do the work of the teeth. Animals that have no teeth have a gizzard to prepare the food before entering the stomach. On many farms more attention Is given to feeing the young animals scientifically than to feeding the children. Every, farmer knows that there is no other grain that supplies so large a proportion of muscle-forming principles as 4>ats. Therefore his horse experiences less fatigue when performing a large amount of muscular labor if fed oats. Ask him why he doesn’t feed corn and he will tell you corn is too heating, that com will make him fat but will not make him strong and give him endurance as oats will. Another food, milk, which is pure nourishment, is usually made into butter which contains the heat-giving principles, and the milk Is fed to the calves and pigs, making them strong and hearty while the children grow pale and sickly when fed on the butter spread on white bread, because they don’t get enough muscle forming food. Many a child is well fed on the fuel or energy-pro-ducing food, fats, starch and sugar, but is starving for the repair food (food that contains nitrogen.) Never allow a chold to form the habit of nibbling at candy, cake or something else, as the stomach must have proper time to rest.

Health Notea

Fear and apprehension make people nervous and sick. The thousand and one needless worries over the failure are simply providence for the morrow gone mad. Fear of disease and death are normal; but to allow the mind to dwell upon these things Is to become a hypochrondrlac with no more stability than the leaf on the aspen. It Is an excellent idea to sponge the neck and chest off with cold water each morning, as this serves to harden the chest against the cold. The girl should be sure that the space between her two shoulders Is well protected, for It Is from the rear that the icy winds strike pneumonia and Inflammation of the lungs into the body. Don’t think that nothing needs to be done for a tooth just because it causes the child no pain. Decayed teeth are ideal breeding places for germs and make a child much more liable to all sorts of infectious diseases. If something is not done for them they may cripple his mouth for life or they may cause the glands of his neck to swell up and form abcesses. Then, too, the child with decayed or painful teeth cannot masticate his food properly, and so falls to get the nourishment his growing body demands. To dean a copper kettle, which has been blackened by fire, first wash well with soap and soda water, then make a paste of knife powder and paraffin, and scour well. Two or three cleanings may be necessary to restore it to its original brilliance. V— 1 -———————— f : A taaappogjpl of warm honey taken •very twenty minutes has a surprising effect on catarrh.

HOT AT BLACK CAT; NEVER TOUCHED IT.

Moral: If You Fire at One of These Evil-Eyed Marks, You Had Better Hit It

Pittsburgh, Pa.—Daniel Taylor's notion of the proper manner for a black cat to conduct Itself is to walk ever and anon in a straight line. If it turns In either direction he is firmly convinced that it should be shot at sunrise, nightfall or whenever the turn is made, and to show that he lives up to his convictions he took a shot at a cat shortly before the milkman appeared on his rounds, missed it and about twelve hours later paid $25 for the error in the city court. If he had bit the cat, he says, It would have cost him nothing.

When Taylor was a year and a half old he was taking a turn about the nursery when a large cat, blue black, walked In front of him. It stopped, he stumbled, and It took five neighbors to regain his teething ring, which he lost control of on the downward trip. From that day until this afternoon at fourteen minutes past three he has believed that a cat passing in front of him means hard luck. Now, however, he knows It. “What have you to say?" asked the court, when Taylor was arraigned, charged with missing the cat. "If I repeated what I have in my mind," replied Taylor, “I would bo sent to Siberia. I missed that pestiferous cat and lam sorry for it. lam a good citizen, but a poor marksman, and if I were not I would be elsewhere now. If I ever lay hands on that blamed cat, your excellency, I'll manipulate her nine lives with eclat and flnlßh. I'll count them over one by one, and—” "You talk too much,” said the court. "Perhaps,” answered Mr. Taylor, "but I have the advantage of knowing what lam talking about. I know that when a black cat passes In front of me It means hard luck, and, unless I kill it, misfortune will befall me. 1 know—” “I fine you $25,” said the court. "I need say no more,” remarked Taylor, counting the money out. "This proves everything.”

OKLAHOMA WOMAN A TEAMSTRESS.

Drumright, Okla. —Miss Frankie Lilly, 22 years old and comely, Is the only teamstress in the oil fields. She ownE her team and wagon and makes all the way from $4 to $lO a day. Miss Lilly doesn’t back up at any sort of teaming, not even at hauling heavy oil pipes. She is strong and muscular, weighing about 175 pounds and she can lift as much as an ordinary man. Miss Lilly says she likes her work. "I took it up because 1 was fond of the outdoors,” she says. "I wanted to use my muscles, too, and I like horses. I guess that I like the money that I make this way also, for I make a good deal more than a girl can in an office. Everybody treats me perfectly nice and I've never had any trouble in my work.” She began teaming two years ago. Her parents reside at Alva, Okla., and are well-to-do.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

How the Farmer’s Daughter May Earn Pin Money

A- lady in Richmond, Va., has made a national reputation putting up and fiAiung “pin money pickles.” She began a few years ago In a very modest way, but now her products are so popular th»* they can be found nearly everywhere in the United States. Another woman, in Washington, D. G» has built up a business making chowchow for which she gets three dollars a gallon.

These are only samples of what hundreds of young women have done to earn pin money by putting up canned goods at home. People are continually a better quality of canned goods and are willing to pay a better price for them. The farmer’s daughter who desires to earn pin money may avail herself of this demand, and with care and perseverance learn to put up canned goods that she may sell at a profit Those who are interested in such a project may obtain detailed instructions on canning in Farmer’s Bulletin 621 of the United States Department of Agriculture, which will be sent free of charge to the applicant The bulletin, while encouraging the young woman in her efforts to make a business proposition of putting up fruits and. vegetables, cautions against over-enthusiasm. It advises that the beginner experiment with a few cans before going too heavily into the project If the first cans keep well she may be encouraged to proceed. If she meets with a few failures perhaps she has overlooked some important detail outlined in the department’s bulletin. It is only through failures that one gets good experience, and with a little practice and care in following the directions any farmer’s daughter should be able to put up a satisfactory of fruit or vegetables. When a young woman has succeeded in putting up a product satisfactory for home use she may well look around for a market outside the home. The girl who starts out with confidence in herself will be more likely to find a good marks than one who is diffident.

The girl with experience in canning knows the - products with which she has the most success, and should endeavor to sell only those in which she excels. It is always best to specialize and work up a reputation for some particualr kind of goods, as did the women already mentioned. One girl may make a feature of catsup, another may find her best product is pickles, while another may put up a specially attractive can of peppers, cauliflower, peaches, apples or tomatoes. People of means are most likely to want “home canned" products, and these are the ones to see. Many housewives living in the cities who leave home for the country during the summer months will gladly give the farmer’s daughter an order to can enough tomatoes to last them all winter. It is best to take orders ahead as far as possible. The young woman who starts out to sell her products will of course dress neatly and take samples of her products put up in an* attractive form. Glass jars will show products much better than tins, but if tins are found to be less expensive they may be used for all except the show products. The managers of the best hotels and restaurants in the neighborhood, the stewards of social clubs in the cities, the managers of railroad dining cars, and many retail grocers will be glad to use the products of the girl who does her canning at home. These products are likely to show individual care and to be prepared neatly of good materials, and on the shelves of a retail store are likely, to attract attention from the best customers. If a young woman knows by experience that her products are first class she need not hesitate to put a good price on them. Home canned goods, canned by experienced people, are worth more than ordinary goods, and one need not compete with the other. "Fancy goods" are rarely found upon bargain counters. Even if the first samples of home canning are not such as may be readily sold they may be used at home, and from her. experience the farmer’s daughter may do better the following season. When she actually succeeds in getting something better than the ordinary she should be able to sell it. She may well ask her friends to recommend her tp good trade. The young woman sincerely determined to make a success of canning as a business proposition with perseverance and care in following instructions should be sure of some measure of success.

Good Roads, and Their Importance to the Community

The Improvement of market roads results In improved marketing conditions, which benefit the city. Most cities are essentially dependent upon the surrounding country for their prosperity and development. The development of suburban property for resi- " dance purposes Is also dependent upon highway conditions, and it Is becoming evident yearly that whatever rank am for an Increase in rural population must be encouraged. Since the introduction of motor traffic country highways are need to Mt increasing aslant by city residents. In fact, the cost of —atahrfinwg many country highways has been greatly Increased by the presence of city-owned motor vehicles. The general advance in fa wnittoa for doing country business from town headquarters when roods are improved is no Inconsiderable Mo tor in the commercial life of the asm inanity.

EAT LESS AND TAKE SALTS FOR KIDNEYS

Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers. The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish, the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead, your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night, if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Hthia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a Source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. v . '—Jad, Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithda-water beverage; and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by 'having a good kidney flushing any time.

GREATEST SPECTACLE INDIANA EVER HAD

Plana Are Making For the Tournament at the Speedway Near Indianapolis September 6th. Indianapolis, August 17. —Forty field ranges for company kitchens, and 100,000 rounds of blank ammunition for the attacking and defending armies—these two items suggest the immensity of the scale of preparations for the war spectacle, “War in Indiana,” to be given at the Indianapolis motor speedway, Monday, Sept. 6, for the building fund of the Indiana National Guard. 'But they are only two of the particulars. Enough shelter tents to house a city full of people must be drawn from the Storehouses of the state guard and the regular army, and the acres sweeping away from the speedway track will be thickly flecked with the brown and white houses of the boys in khaki on the morning of Monday, Sept. 6. With the conclusion of the instruction camp at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Adjt. Gen. Bridges, Capt. Carpenter, Major Tyndall, and Captain Toffy, of the regular army, who form the committee in charge of the spectacle, will be able to devote all their time to the program, and to arrangements for the proper handling of the state’s soldiers and visiting squads of cavalry. Oapt. Carpenter has already contracted for the removal of forty field ranges from Ft. Benjamin Harrison to the speedway, and cook tents will be set up a day or two before the arrival of the troops. The quartermaster’s department has begun to figure on provisioning the immense number of men for three or four meals.

.Major P. A. Davis, quartermaster general, has made formal application for 100,000 rounds of blank ammunition from the division of militia affairs of the war department. This is the allotment for the infantry, 500 rounds a man. Other blank ammunition will be requisitioned for the machine guns and field pieces used by the armored motor cars and artillery. Meanwhile, nightly practise has started throughout the state by infantry companies in drills and field formartaons. It will be possible in many instances to assign the position of companies in the war spectacle long before their arrival in Indianapolis, and with a map of their position in hand they are expected to need but little coaching to fit into place. The spectacle in full blast is expected to surpass anything ever witnessed in the United States. The celebrated Boer war, which was featured at the St. Louis world’s fair, will prove pigmy like in comparison. “War in Indiana,” is to be in a class by itself. Mike Wagner, who was injured in an automobile accident Sunday evening, has been suffering considerable pain and it is now feared that in addition to the fractured ribs he may have a perforated bowel and if this is the case an operation will be necessary and will probably be performed yet today. Later advices say he is getting along nicely and no operation will be necessary.

HANGING GROVE.

Frank Ringeisen’s little son, Everet, has the measles and has been quite sick. Mr. and Mrs. Morris Jacks, of Lee, visited Gaylord Parker and family near Pleasant Ridge Sunday. Mrs. C. W. Bussell and daughters, Florence and Ella, visited with Geo. Long and family near Lewiston Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Phillips went to Chicago Monday, where Mr. Phillips is having his eyes treated by a specialist. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cochran, of Gillam, spent Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ringeisen, it being their grandson who has the measles. Rollin Stewart came up from Lafayette Saturday morning for a few hours’ visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Stewart. Paul Stephens went to Monticello Wednesday and returned home next day with his wife and baby, who had been visiting with her sister, Mrs. Ray McDonald. Trustee W. E. Poole and the members of the advisory board, W. S. Lowman Chas. Erb and R. V. Johns, went to Terre Haute Monday via auto to attend a road machinery demonstration. Threshing will begin here this week. There are considerable damaged fields of wheat and oats in some places, and where the oats were cut in good shape and well shocked, they are keeping good, while others are growing in the shock. A very large acreage of oats cannot be saved at all. Some have resorted to mowing them down wherever the ground will permit.

The engine and ware house on the farm of Fred Timm, trustee of Cass township, caught fire late Wednesday, afternoon and with its contents was completely destroyed. The fire was the result of carelessness, we are told. Lester Gaddis; a young man, was employed about the premises and lighting his pipe, threw the match on the floor which was more or less saturated with gasoline In a twinkling everything was in flames. In trying to subdue the flames Lester was painfully burned about the head, neck and arms. Mr. Timm estimates his loss at about $650. —Medaryville Ad--vertiser. Mr. Mansfield, the rile ditcher, had the time of his life last Monday, killing rattlesnakes. He was helping make hay on the farm of Thomas Dimon in Gillam township when lifting a bunch of hay there were no less than three rattlesnakes curled up under it. It goes without saying that he dispatched them. .Going to another bunch he found anoher of the reptiles under it. It was also killed.—Medaryville Advertiser.
