Sometimes circumstances are such
that it is a marvel to others how the
burdon can be borne; but tho spirit
of devotion toils on, evon unto the
end, with no reward save such as
the consciousness of having done all
that could bo done. From tho high

just such cases. They may bo next

"Don't Kiss tho Baby"
At the meeting of tho American
Medical association in Atlantic City,
N. J., recently, many thousand physi
cians wore gathered from all parts
of tho country, and the newest meth
ods of prevention and cure of dis
eases wore under thorough discus
sion. It was the consensus of this
body that next to the house-fly, the
habit of kissing the baby is tho most
dangerously vital manner of spread
ing consumption, and many other
diseases of more or less dreadful
character. One physician made the
declaration that in every home there
should be put up a sign reading:
"Don't Kiss the Baby," declaring
that all the. authorities can do to
protect the Infant from various in
fections, through a safe-guarded
milk supply, and otherwise, was ren
dered of no avail by the avalanche
of kisses rained upon the baby by
kins-people, visitors and callers.

as tho case may be; and to read these

eases which are more readily con
veyed through kissing than tubercu
losis, but which are as much to bo
objoctod to. Persons having , de

Bhould not be allowed to kiss the
baby, as the gums, even of healthy
persons are teeming with germs, and
these germs are transmitted to the
baby, causing . illness more or less
fled with tho lightest of nourishment
in quantity and quality. Often a
cup of hot water as hot as can be
sipped comfortably, taken frequent
ly, Is the very best thing to bo done.
Very few people drink water in suffi
cient quantities to maintain the pro
portion of liquids needed for perfect
health. As for the "no-breakfast"
fad, that may do vory well for the
man or woman who has a hearty
meal at midnight or after, and lies
abed until nearly noon; or even for
thosG who do sedentary work, begin
ning tho day with some beverage of
a nourishing character, leaving solid
foods until later. But for tho man or
woman who gets up early and goes
to work at any business requiring
muscular strength, or even mental,
it is but an. invitation to physical de
terioration of nervo tissue to get
down to the business of the day on
an empty stomach. Gaunt, hungry
looking women, victims of some diet
fad, would be far better off to take
three square meals a day. The man
or woman who half starves the body
until late at night and then gorges
the stomach with a heavy dinner is
in a fair way to bring on a good
case of "stomach trouble.'' If one
eats moderately of nourishing and
satisfying foods at breakfast and
luncheon, the danger of over-eating
at night when the body is exhausted,
will be far less. There are hun
dreds of people of both sexes, vic
tims of indigestion, who would get-j
strong, and well if they would eat
plenty of nourishing food and let
drugs and food fads alone. In many
cases, tho stomach has been- so
starved and weakened by 'this abuse
that much time must be taken be
fore it can be put back into its
healthy, normal condition by proper
foods.
roused to "deeds of daring," even
without the whisky, It is particularly
dangerous to give way to the savage
instincts by beclouding the moral and
intellectual nature, and indulging in
habits which tend to quarrelsomeness
and fighting, the result of which no
one can foretell. They are safer,
more sensible and fully as patriotic

There are many homos in which
either tho husband or the wife is a
hopeless, holpless invalid, of no help,
and vory often a great hindrance,
to tho best interests of the family.
Tho husbands or wives of these in
valids cling faithfully to their
charges, often bearing the burden of
great poverty, and being forced to
toll all day for the necessities of the
homo and tho sick chamber, and then
act as nurse to the sufferer during
the night hours, snatching the little
sleep that comes to them "between
duties, only to go forth again on
the morrow to their daily tasks, in
many cases leaving the invalid alone
until the closing hour brings tho
worker homo again to the duties of
nurse and housekeeper. In some in
stances, there are little, stuntod chil
dren, that makes the absences harder
to provide for; but tho toiling one,
man or woman, goes cheerfully on
as long as life lasts. The world
is full of such cases. Even the loss

to kiss a baby. A woman would
scarcely be a woman without want

and there really Is nothing sweeter,
or more tempting than tho warm wetf

of tho baby's health, even this may
be foregone, and the affection satis

hands, neck or cheek, or cuddling

much for tho god of the baby.
Food Fads
i
Custom has decided that, for the
average person, three meals a day
nourishes the body bettor than two
or four, without overtaxing the stom
ach and digestive organs; but there
aro strong, healthy people who might
well do better on two .meals a day
than three. There are" weak people
or those who eat little at a time,
and invalids who can not take nour
ishment in large quantities, who aro
bettor for eating four or five times
a day, using proper food. In most
Tho Deadly Fire Works
As the birth anniversary" of our
nation approaches, the store windows
are filling with displays of various
kinds of fireworks, and the adver
tising columns of the newspapers are
setting rorth the glories possible to
the one well supplied with such ma
terials. But it will be quickly fol
lowed by items of more or less
length, tolling of the damages to life,
limb and property which inevitably
results from the Fourth of July fun,.
As the small boy and the careless
man are gathering in tho "store
things," the provident mother and
the far-seeing surgeon are laying in
supplies of a kind that will be need
ed to bring together the mutilated
and scattered parts of the enthusias
tic boy who dares the most in the
noisy celebration. Thousands of
dollars will be wasted, many, acci
dents will happen, and much prop
erty will be damaged or destroyed
by the uses of the deadly explosives
so freely indulged in by both young
and old. For the few minutes of
fuss and fizzle, together with the
glare of colored fire, many an ill
spared dollar will go from the family
purse. If anything good came of it,
it might bo endured; hut it is more
than money that is wasted. -
Next to the destructiveness of the
explosives, is that of the "fire-water"
Indulged in by a certain class of rmn-
ple who think thatAto have a rous

besotted and crazed with alcoholic
drinks. This indulgence leads to
many crimes, much heartache and

Street Car Etiquette
There is no rule of formal eti
quette compelling a man to resign
his seat in a street car to women.
Since women have become so much
a part of the business life of every
community and consequently are
compelled to be on the streets and
in public conveyances at exactly the
same hour as business men, in com
ing and going from or to business,
it seems that tho old-time deference
shown to the one sex by the other
is no longer the rule. Yet the cour
tesy and good manners shown by
man when he offers his $eat to a
woman, just because she is a woman,
still commands the admiration of on
lookers, even if it is not expected of
him by any one. Younger women
often rise to offer their seat to :an
elder one, to an invalid, or. a tired
mother carrying a heavy child; so
it is a small thing for a man to do
the same, remembering that" his
mother may receive such courtesy
some time. When a man rises to re
sign his seat, it is good form for him
to indicate by a glance, or a touch
on her arm, if the woman does not
note the fact. He should raise his
hat and move to a short distance;
this Indicates that it is not his in
tention to presume upon his polite
ness. And women should never, by
any chance, fail to acknowledge Tiv
La-slight bow and a pleasant "thank
you" tne courtesy extended to them.
It is possible .that the omission1 of
such an acknowledgement may caus&
,a man to hesitate .before putting
himself to so much trouble when
it is not appreciated. ' However, a"
really well-bred man does- not wait
for thanks. It is not an unusual
thing for young women or girls, as
well as men, to rise and offer their -seat
to a crippled man, or an old
gentleman, and one of the prettiest
sights to be' seen in a street' car is
that of a young girl or woman, in
sisting upon some old lady occupy- "
ing their seat, while they stand in
the aisle beside them, and T am glad
to say that such sights are by no
means rare, in the crowded city.
Another delightful custom is that of
the conductor, kindly helping the
crippled or feeble old person of
either sex until they safely reach the
ground, when alighting from the car
