HEALTH HINTS FOR TODAY
Use of Toothbrush.
The regular use of the tooth
brush is necessary not only to re
move the acid Incrustations that
eat holes in the teeth, but also
to sweep away the germs of
many diseases. Thes find the
necks of the teeth an ideal nest
ing place. They multipjy a mll
iionfold in a few hours unless
washed away, then they go down
the throat, enter the lungs, the
stomach, the eustachlan tubes
and the passages behind the
nose. There they cause con
sumption. diphtheria, earache,
catarrh, bronchitis, tonsillitis; in
fact, it would be difficult to say
with certainty what diseases
may not arise from the germs
that have grown upou the teeth.
It is now considered almrat cer
tain that many cases of nppendi
cltis have this as their origin
Hence there is no process of the
toilet so important ns that of
brushing the teeth

Treatment of Anaemia.
In the treatment of anaemia
there is need for n complete
change of environment. The
means to be adopted to insure re
covery are that the patient should
live in fresh country air and
have a generous diet, including a
little meut daily. A little Bur
gundy wiue may be taken once
or twice dally at meals. The
remedy upon which reliance is
placed by physicians is, of
course, Iron, this being admin
istered by way of adding to the
red corpuscles of the blood an
element in which they are de
ficient This Iron may be given
in tlie shape of the tincture of
perchloride of iron or similar
preparations to the extent of
from ten to fifteen drops twice
or thrice daily in water after
meals. Dialyzed iron is also
given in similar doses
in taking any tonic which con
tains iron It must be remember
ed that iron has a very bad ef
fect on the teeth, tending to turn
them black, and for this reason
the medicine or tonic should be
taken through a glass tube.
There is no especial diet for
anaemia, but those suffering
from it should eat nourishing
foods, such as red meats, rare
roast beef, potatoes, peas, corn,
plenty of bread and butter and
drink milk and other fattening
substances

Concerning LumSago.
Avery common form of back
ache is lumbago. The sufferer
must be somewhat careful in bis
use of sweet foods, meats and
alcohol. He should also avoid
wearing damp clothing, staying
out too long In his garden dig
ging or of remaining for too long
a period In a bending or stooping
posture when plnnting. etc.
If he he wise he will always
wear a warm woolen undershirt
Dext to his skin during the win
ter season and until the warm
days of summer are In full
sway. Then he may safely don
a thinner woolen garment with
out fear of taking a nasty pain
in the hack. It is far more sen
sible to take a little extra enre
to avoid lumbago and other back
troubles than to be careless and,
as the result of such careless
ness, to be compelled to suffer
as so many people do.

Suggestions For Sloop*
The bedroom should be well
ventilated, a window being kept
open all night, if that can be
managed without a draft playing
upon the sleeper. Where there
is a chance of drafts ventilation
may be safely accomplished by
inserting a board inches
broad so as to raise the lower
sash and fill the gap completely.
Air then enters between the
sashes in an upward direction
and becomes diffused in a harm
less fashion.
About his bed. bedclothes and
pillow the sufferer from insom
nia must not dogmatize, but try
experiments. Sometimes an ex
tra high pillow does the trick.
The covering should not be ex
cessive, but the feet must be
kept warm—by an eiderdown
across them, a hot bottle or bed
socks —since chilly extremities
are fatal to sleep. The same
latitude must be allowed In re
gard to supper. Sometimes no
supper Is best,•sometimes a light
supper rather more than an hour
before retiring, sometimes a glass
of hot milk or hot gruel when
one is actually in bed.
A short, smart walk before
bedtime enables many folks to
slip into dreamland. For oth
ers a hot footbath is better. Still
more obstinate cases will yield
to the soothing effect of a com
plete hot bath, with or without
some mustard.
A Big Prayer
The colored people had a right
interesting meeting at their church
here last week. It was attended
by both colored residents of the
town and country,and some whites.
During the meeting an old - ountry
visitor was called on to pray. It
is said that he hid three or four
drinks of corn liquor under his
shirt and was in the proper stile
to speak loud and long, letting out
anything that he could think 01.
When starting to get in the proper
shape lor praying and his knees
struck the floor,not being protected
by any drawers, they made a noise
like a couple of pine knots drop
ping on the tioor. Then lie began,
and such a prayer was never beared
of since the foundation of the w orld
yelling as if the Lord was either
deaf of away from home. He asked
tor every blessing that could be
thought of, ami in addressing the
Lord would say oecassionally, like
talking to the boys, “Come on
John,” continuing this way until
he got out oI breath. Hut “John,”
as he called him, sent no ''blessings.
So if the members of this church
want any favors from the Lord
they will have to get someone else
to ask for them besides this old
negro, because the Lord is satis
fied that he tan get all he wants —
a jug of liquor—an article that is
not furnished from above. —Dali

Farmers Can Ship Meat
Atlanta,Ga., Sept. 8. (Special)—
The markets in Atlanta are <>i>eii
to the farmers of Georgia who wish
to ship fresh meat to Atlanta.
This has been made possible by an
ordianee adopted by the City >t
Atlanta, which permits any such
fresh meats, when bearing proper
ceterficate signed by the shipper
to be sent to Atlanta, without the
inspection and approval ol an
a'lthori/.sl State Meat In
spector. It is provided, however
that before !>eing offered for sale
fresh meat shfdl be inspteted and
approved by one ot the Meat In
spectors for the City of Atlanta,
who v ill visit each depot in the
City of Atlanta in the morning ami
afternoon of each day, for the pur
pose of making this inspection.
With the city markets and city
homes of Atlanta open to such ship
uients and the Southern Express
Company offoiing l >.v r.ncs and
prompt delivery in Atlanta, the
larmers are afforded a wonderful
market for their meats.
What is ti ue of Atlanta will
probably be true of the other cities
of the State in a short while. At
lanta has long been an open mar
ket for fruits,vegetables and other
country product,but it is only since
the adoption of the ordinance re
ferred to above that it has been
possible to express meats to this
city with satisfaction.

Preacher Swallows a Pin
Bev. Hillyer Brooks, took two
pills from his vest pocket recently
and swallowed them. As they
went down he felt the peculiar
sensation of a yin traveling along
with the pills. The pin is still
somewheie on the inside of Hill} er,
and he thinks he has located it on
the left side. He consulted a local
physician and then decided to cut
it out himself. We have not heard
whether or not the operation was
suecesful.

Stop Killing the Birds.
Prof. Wm. T. llornaday, direc

Society, at the Shoieham, says:
“It is time the American people
were awakening to a realization of
the importance of stopping the
s'aughter of birds. The 5,000,000
men and boys who are slaughtering
our bird are levying tribute on
every American pocketbook.
Many of our best birds species are
clo-e to extermination. The de
struction of these birds means a
great decreases in our agricultural
products, and a b'g loss to con
sumers and farmers.’ —Macon
