Alleviated and Cured Suppression of Consumption Tuberculosis can be suppressed It is not necqssary for a person to die be cause he has consumption Thousands of men and women have been sacri ficed who might have been alive to day if only the right procedure had been adopted That which is neces sary for the mastery of this disease is to return to nature to live natur ally in the fresh air develop the lungs and eat proper food Tuberculosis is a low level disease People are not subject to it until their tissues have become vitiated and their whole bodies weakened To live a natural life is the only safeguard against tuberculosis One climate may do as well as another if only one lives out of doors gets plenty of cold fresh air bathes the body with cold water several times a day and takes as much exercise as he can stand Child Labor in Factories The physician in attendance at a municipal lodging house in Chicago has within tho past year been making a careful inquiry into the history of the tramps who have become the citys guests He has found that a large proportion of the tramps give a history of having been employed in factories or in other debilitating occupations in boyhood Our artificial modern life is making multitudes of human wrecks one class of whom is represented by the homeless friendless disheartened men known as tramps Fortunate in deed are the boys and girls who live in country homes and have the oppor tunity of growing up in contact with nature How do You Eat It is safe to say that modern cook ing develops business for both the sa loonkeeper and the undertaker When a boy eats mustard plasters in the form of food that is almost saturated Avith fiery spices and irritating condi ments a thirst is created that nothing but liquor or cigarets will satisfy Man is admonished to eat for strength and not for drunkenness but in these days anything that will tickle the four square inches of taste surface is con sidered good food although it may contain scarcely any of the elements that nature requires to replace broken down tissues and to rebuild the worn out brain As a consequence the vi- the transportation of the following i tality and

Life Cures Consumption A doctor in Denver some time ago made some experiments with consump tives A tent colony was established a little way out of Denver and the patients progressed fairly well during the first part of the winter But by and by there was a blizzard and the thermometer went down to 20 degrees below zero and then they began to improve very fast One woman did not seem to improve at all until the temperature reached this mark and then she improved rapidly She had had no appetite but that 20 degrees below zero weather gave her an appe tite which was an indication that the body was beginning to work naturally that the assimilative processes were being resumed and from that time she kept on improving Metal will rust if not used and the body will become diseased if not exer cised Exchange Condiments Create False Appetite There is absolutely no food value in mustard pepper ginger capsicum and such things and some of them spiced pickles for instance are indi gestible as sawdust But these things people say have a relish Those who have a good healty appetite do not feel the need of anything of that sort for a relish A condiment is something which creates a false demand for food It enables us to eat when we really have no appetite Appetite is an evidence of gastric juice with which to digest food Lack of appetite is an evidence that one is not in a condition to digest food But a condiment often produces a false impression resembling appe tite making one think that he is ready for food when he is not It is there fore a deceiver to be especially avoid ed by those who have no appetite Mustard pepper spices of all sorts are enemies to health If my next door neighbor chooses to have his drains in such a state as to create a poisonous atmosphere which I breathe at the risk of typhus he restricts my just freedom to live just as much as if he went about with a pistol threatening my life Prof Huxley Natural Cure for Tuberculosis A Swedish doctor some fourteen or fifteen years ago succeeded by a very crude method in curing patients who have been given up to die His prac tice was first of all to rub the patient three times a day with a towel wet in very cold water A little later he put the patient in a tub of water at about 60 degrees rubbing him vigor ously for about a minute and later as the patient became better able to endure the cold water he was plunged into a tub full of ice water This was done three times a day Think of those poor consumptives Neverthe less they got well The cold water with the rubbing following produced such a powerful reaction that the whole body was stimulated to In creased vital activity and recovery fol lcwpd Here is another case A young mtfh in New York who was getting ready to go to the Klondike went into prac tice to convince his friends that ho would not freeze to death Out of a large buffalo robe he made a bag pitched a tent in the back yard and slept in the tent in the buffalo bag all the winter without suffering any In jury from the cold And another A cultured lady In New Jersey who made up her mind that she needed a little hardening slept out of doors all last winter She had her bed put out on the second story veranda and an awning put up with a net around it to keep the night hawks away Plenty of clothing was provided a cap worn to keep the ears from freezing and she got along so well that she slept out of doors the entire winter A National Error Our cities are growing so rapidly that only about one lialf of our popula tion are now living in the country Dr Gould speaking of the wrong of shut ting men and women up in houses and forcing them into sedentary occupa tions says There is enough land and opportunity if both were allowed and utilized to give every human being a livelihood that will permit life of a normal length lie adds that with proper hygienic living especially in youth and with right lung expansion and development no person should have tuberculosis Home Sanitariums In New York city consumptives are building little huts on the tops of the houses and are recovering Outside New York Boston and other large cities tent colonies where consump tives can live out of doors are being established Every city ought to have outside it a camp where tubercular patients can live and get well The air inside the city is not so good as it is outside but on the tops of the houses where the sun can shine it is a great deal better than it is in the damp dirty buildings in which most city people live Some Donts About Dress Dont dress the neck too warm when going out in cold weather A little extra protection is required for tho ears but it is not necessary to muffle up the neck with thick furs to protect the ears Warm wrappings about the neck cause the skin of the neck to become moistened with perspiration When the wrappings are removed In doors the slow cooling which takes place in consequence of the evapora tion chills the part and may produce sore throat or nasal catarrh Dont wear rubbers indoors nor out of doors except when it is necessary to prevent wetting the feet Rubbers being impervious to air prevent evap oration so that the perspiration is re tained and the shoes and stockings become damp from the perspiration When the rubbers are removed evap oration chills the feet the same as if they had been wet by the rain or by walking on a wet pavement On re moving the rubbers after they have teen worn for some time it is a good precaution to remove the shoes and stockings and put on dry ones If this cannot be conveniently done care should be taken to keep the feet warm until the shoes are dry The rubbers should be dried before wearing again SOME WHOLESOME RECIPES Green Pea Soup Press through a colander one can of green peas Add to this
