Proper Clothing.
The prcsouce of clothing stimu
lates by friction the circulation
mid If of 1 ii oi’.ductlitg mate
rial keeps the skin at a normal
temiieratmv and the blood from
being driven from the surface of
the body to the vital organs, thus
preventing Inllammatious. con
gestions, kidney troubles and va
rious other ills dependent upon
the action of the blood and Its
vessels. A human bo Iv exposed
to cool air soon begins to 1 >so
Its bent by three different ptoc
esses viz. liy radiation, by evap
oration of surface moisture and
by conduction. The natural
heat of the body Is necessary to
life and must be maintained.

Hurried Eating and Constipation.
Hurried eating is a common
contributing cause of constipa
tion as well as other Ills. When
the food Is not properly masti
cated more energy is required In
the upper part of the alimentary
canal to reduce It to the condi
Hon necessary for complete di
gestion, and In eases ill which
the vitality is depleted this may
so seriously cripple the activity
of the lower part of the alimen
tary canal as to contribute large
ly to the atonic condition, which
is a large factor In such cases.
When the food is not fully mas
ticated It is. held back in the
small intestine as well as in the
stomach, and this also has a ten
dency to establish a sluggish ac
tion. which contributes to the
condition favorable to conatlpa
tion. While thorough mastlca
tion will not cure those cases
which may he largely due to bad
mental condition, excessive mix
ing of food, lack of exercise,
overwork, too concentrated food
or some physical defect of (lie
Intestine, it is an important fac
tor. an more careful mastica
tion "T ontributo to improve
ment in II cases.

How to Resist a Cold.
One way to overcome chilly
sensations of (lie spine and hack
on the least change of tempera
ture is to put your hack up, so
to speak, to contract the muscles
of tiie hack.
If you are getting chilly about
the bui a <>f the neck stiffen ttn r
neck and set the muscles lo
work. When you are sitting still
and find yourself getting chilly
set the muscles to work and
you will soon get over it. If you
ilo not start your muscles going
you will soon find them going of
their own accord. Von will be
gin to shiver—an involuntary ac
tion of the muscles. If you will
set your muscles at work before
that shivering conies you will be
a tile to prevent it.
Contract your hands, your legs,
the muscles of your back, raise
up your chest stiffen your neck,
then turn it vigorously, slowly,
from side to side or bend it
backward aud forward. This
will keep you from taking cold.
One need never take cold when
sitting still. You can make your
muscles work just as hard when
sitting down as when walking
about, and it may be more con
venient.

Carbolic Acid For Burns.
Three cases have come to light
recently in which pure carbolic
acid was applied to burns, caus
ing immediate cessation of pain,
with a subsequent cessation of
inflammation. The corroded skin
came off in a few days, leaving
anew skin and causing abso
lutely no inconvenience or trou
ble, not even a scar or contrac
tion of muscle. In one ease the
burn was very extensive, cover
ing entire head, face, neck and
hands, and in this case a hypo
dermic injection of morphia was
given. The patient recovered
without a single scar, although
there was sionghlng on the end
of the nose and rim of the ears.

COMPLETE RATION FOR
STUDENT.
A student asks advice as to
the value of entire wheat bread
and olive oil as a complete ra
tion for one doing strenuous
study. Wheat contains all the
elements of nutrition in nearly
perfect proportion for the aduit,
except fat, which would be sup
plied by the oil, a pound and a
half of bread and two ounces of
olive oil being sufficient for one
doing average physical and men
tal work. It la generally under
stood that entire cereal bread
anti butter constitute a perfect
ration, and fresh olive oil ia not
Inferior to butter, hut there Is
an objection to the mining of
fat with starches and prctelda
from the fact that it prevents
the access of the digestive
juices In mouth and stomach, so
the ration Is not Improved by
adding olive oil, although In the
easo mentioned the existence of
constipation makes the use of
olive nil beneficial, but It should
be taken separately for the
best results. It has been repeat
edly demonstrated that a bet
ter balanced ration Is supplied
by wheat or corn than in the
ordinary random diet, so that
one who wishes to adopt such
a diet, for health, efficiency or
economy—and these are Inti
mately associated—need not hes
itate to do so, with the assur
ance of Improvement In every
respect. Of course, the bread
should not be fresh, and It
should be thoroughly masti
cated.

MONO DIET AND DIGESTION.
Frofesscr Goodfellow, the
well-known English authority on
bread, says that when milk Is
eaten with bread, the digestion
of the bread is 10 per cent, less
complete. This would naturally
follow from the principles cf
the moncdlet already explained.
There are few better combina
tions than bread and milk, but
no combination is perfect. Dr.
Porter and others who have had
much experience with the milk
diet insist that for the best re
sults nothing rr.ust be taken
with the milk. Those foods
should be combined which arc
most compatible.

Many remedies are recommended
for diseases of the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. Dr. Miles’ Nervine has
proven its value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can
prove its merits for yourself by
getting a bottle of your druggist,
who will return the price if you
receive no benefit.
