They have produced tho huge Kadlnk bear, the largest In tho woild; tho largest mooso known, the sea ot ter and the Altskan mountain sheep. What is thought to be a new species of bear has also been discovered there It is an inland white bear, not an al bino of tho common black or brown bear, but apparently a true species. Every housekeeper should know that If they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because It nover sticks to tho Iron, but because each package contains 1C oz. one full pound while all other Cold Water Starches are put up In -pound pack ages, and tho price Is tho s,nmo, 10 cents. Then again because Defiande Starch Is free from nil injurious chem Icnls. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package It is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dlsposo of before he puts In Defiance. Ho knows that Defiance -Starch haB printed on avery package In large let ters and figures "10 ozs." Demand De fiance and save much time and money and the nnnoyanco of tho Iron stick ing. Defianco never sticks. The Associated Press. The wires of the Associated Press, that great organization for gathering and spreading the pews of the world, form a network across tho continent from St. John. N. B.. to Seattle, Wash., nnd from Duluth, Minn., to New Or leans," Galveston, nnd tho City of Mexico. The news It gathers during twenty-four hours, from every part of tho world, amounts to thirty-five col umns of a newspapor of average size. Soven hundred papers use this ser vice. Melville E. Stone, the vice presl dent and manager of the Associated Press, has written of the organization alms, nnd workings of the association; and the story will run through several Issues of Tho Century. The April number will tell of its operations in Europe, and how its present efficiency was brought about. The present satis factory conditions abroad were gained only through considerable diplomacy and through Mr. Stone's personal pre sentation of the matter to tho Pope, tho President of France, the Emperor ot Germany, nnd tho King of Italy. The March Pearson's. Aside from Its usual assortment of bright short stories ,the March mini her of Pearson's Magazine includes eight special articles, four of which are particularly timely. The most Important of these is "Tho Poisons We Eat In Foods," b Dr. II. W. Wiley. Chief of the Depart ment of Chemistry, U. S. Bureau of Agriculture. In this article Dr. Wiley tells the results of tho experiments carried on up to date with his famous volunteer "poison squad," tho Govern ment employes who aro submitting to a diet of adulterated foods to enable science to detcrmino the deleterious effects on the human system. "Galves ton, the City Reclaimed," tells of the wonderful engineering feat which in four brief years has enabled the flood ridden city to rise from wreck and ruin to a model town of beauty and municipal reform. "McClusUy, New York's ex-Chle'f of Detectives," tells of the stirring Incidents In the enreer of George McClusky, tho pupil and suc cessor of the famous Inspector Byrnes. The March "Arena" (Trenton. N. J.) contains an extremely Interesting study of the dramas and social ideals of tho great German author, Gerhart Hauptmann, This critique is from tho pen of Professor Archibald Henderson and is the second in the "Arena's" series of papers treating qf the great modern dramatists, their work and their ideals. This Issue also contains a highly interesting pen-picture of a radical meeting recently, held In Paris, reported for "The Arena" by its com missioner, Mrs. Frances Hardin Hess, it being the first of a series of con tributions which are to be furnished from time to time, describing leading, social, political, literary nnd artistic events In the French capital. Mrs. Hess' paper is illustrated with a por trait of M. Jaures and also with half tone portraits of M. Anatole Franco and tho well known French journal ist, M. de Presgensse. Immense Crab. Tha biggest crab has been caught in the North sea.- It maanured 2 feet 7 inches across, and hadclaws to cor respond. J Wf,flftAfrrfc HEALTH CAMP FOR CONSUMPTIVES Worthy Enterprise Established in Southern Cal iforniaSo Arranged That Patients May Bo Self-Supporting. A New York paper pub'tshia nn ac count of a successful effoFt recently made by Mr. N. O. Nelson, In South ern California, to provide for the poor er classes. Mr, Nelson has established at Indlo, In Southern California, what ho calls a health camp for consump tives. Wo quote the following de scription of this worthy enterprise with the Jiopo that It may encourage others to do likewise; for certainly no moro beneficent work can bo under taken by anyone: "Tho camp is located In a desort valloy, cut off from tho ocean by tho mountains. Them is no rain, n& fog, no clouds. Tho winter days nro all warm, tho nights comparatively cold. "The camp was established In De cember, 1902, to provldo in part for tho large number of consumptives and other Invalids who go to Southern California. Most of tho Invalids have littlo means; they can not afford ex pensive sanitariums, and aro not want ed by hotels and boarding houses. "To meet tho requirements of such patients, Mr. Nelson bought ono bun dred and twenty-flvo acres of land ad Joining tho Indlo depot. This tract ho has improved by sinking artesian wells, and by putting most of tho land under cultivation, In order to glvo con valescents something to do. "Tents, with all necessary equip ment for sleeping nnd taking meals, have been set up. Land and water nro free to thoso who have their own outfit. A small rental for tents Is made to those who can not pay, and w.here necessary, board Is given them. All expenses reed not bo more than from $2,50 to $4.00 a week. "Work Is provided for thoso who are able to do it, so that their care does not become a burden on tho camp. "The camp Is situated In the midst or a sandy valley ono hundred miles long and three to ten miles wide. Tho mountains on each side rise by degrees to four thousand and five thousand feet high. In some places in tho foothills there aro springs and vegetation. "In the valleys most of tho land has been taken up In tho pnst few years. Tho crops of melons and vege tables are early and bring high prices. From $100 to $200 an acre is an ordinary yield. Alfalfa hay is cut ten limes a year, giving twolvo to fifteen tons nn acre. "When the campers get well enough to work, they buy or lease a fow acres. They can either buy tho land on tho Instalment plan, or lease It on shares for Buch lengthi of time ns de sired." Alcohol and Tuberculosis. Dr. S. A. Knopf, tho eminent New York physician who has given a great deal of attention to tho subject ot tuberculosis, took occasion not long since in a scientific paper to condemn the popular notion thnt alcohol Is a remedy for consumption. Ho says: .There Is an idea that alcohol Is a remedy or even a specific remedy for consumption. There has never been a greater mistake mado. Alcohol has never cured and never will cure tuberculosis. It will either prevent or retard recovery. It Is like a two edged weapon: on ono side It poi sons the system, and on tho other side it ruins the stomach and thus prevents this organ from properly digesting the necessary food. Truly pathetic aro tho results of this erroneous doctrine In the families of tho poor, where, In stead of procuring good nourishment for the invalid, liquor has been bought In far too largo quantities, so that often there was not enough money left for food fdr the sufferer nor for tho other members of the family." Predisposition to Tuberculosis. Tho abnormal fear of tuberculosis which haunts so many minds Is bred of ignorance. . The awful results of the "white terror" havo Impressed themselves upon all, but as with the aborigine, when he first encountered the gun-bearing explorer, the reason why Is hidden. Tho native heard the gun speak and saw his brother fall. Tho sudden death terrified him. Ho did not stop to inquire the cause. Ho fled in abject fear. To-day tho ravages of tuberculosis aro stupendous. Aro you inquiring into the why, or are you trembling lest it seize you? Aro you trying to dodge an Inscrutable foe, or aro you studying to give intelligent battle? Tho tenement dweller says, "I can not escape tho plague, I will await my turn." Tho son or brother of a con sumptive says: "It Is in tho family, I must suffer tho same death." The weakened victim of Intemperance or neglect of vital laws says: "My con stitution Is wrecked I am no match for this relentless foe." Dr. Knopf asks and answers tho following pertinent query: "Who aro the individuals who must be particu larly careful so as not to be attacked by the almost ever present tubercle bacillus. "There aro four classes: First, those who have a hereditary predisposition to consumption; secondly, those who have weakened their system and thus predisposed themselves to consump tion by the intemperate use of alco holic beverages, by a dissipated life, by excesses of all kinds, etc,; thirdly, those whose constitution has been weakened through disease; fourthly, those whose occupations, trades or professions, such as printing, hat mak ing, tailoring, weaving, and all occU- J pntlons where the worker Is much ex posed to the Inhalation of various kinds of dust, have rendered them particularly liable to consumption." Let every one take courage and live above tuberculosis. If you are already suffering from it strive to rise above it. Avoid alcoholic beverages, condi ments, pastries, tea and coffee. Live out of doors, provide fresh air for your bed room, study the laws of your body and return to the natural way of living. Food for Brain Vorkers. Mental work requires much less food thun does physical )abor. Re cent careful experiments which havo been made, show that men engaged in active mental labor and abstaining from muscular exertion, require prac tically no moro food than men at rest. This is a fact of very great import ance for students, ministers, and oth er professional men whose occupation does not require any considerable amount of effort, since the taking of food in excess of that which is re quired results in tho filling of the blood with poisons, and in conse quence crowding of the tissues with tissue wastes and poisonous matters which Interfere with all the bodily functions, and especially with the functions of the brain and nerves. Mental activity Is clouded, sleep may be prevented, and all tho effects of nervous exhaustion produced by a comparatively slight expenditure of energy, giving rise to languor, some times depression, and at other times irritability, confusion, nnd indecision of mind, even moroscness and melan choly. That Tired Feeling. Tho condition of lethargy produced by excessive eating or habitual drunk enness must be distinguished from fa tigue duetto work. Persons in this condition often decline to exercise be cause they "feel so tired." This state of lassitude and enervation cannot be overcome by rest. Carefully graduat ed exercises and regulation of the di etary are the proper remedies. There ore many chronic invalids whose suf ferings and disability are wholly due to this cause, and who may be read ily restored to usefulness by a spare and simple dietary combined with out door exercises, gradually Increased in vigor and duration as the strength im proves. Water Purification. A physician connected with the United States Agricultural department has called attention to the fact that an extremely small quantity of sul phato of copper will prevent the growth of algae In lakes, ponds and storago reservoirs, and will destroy typhoid and cholera germs. The ques tion at once arises whether this meth od can bo considered thoroughly hy gienic. Tho probability is that the small amount of copper thus em ployed would be neutralized by com bining with vegetable substances so that the water will bo left practically pure; nevertheless, the addition of chemical substances' to water cannot bo considered tho most desirable method of purification. Boiling and filtering through a Pasteur filter are really tho best methods. Filters are cheap, nnd boiling is an easy and sim ple process. Tho old-fashioned cha'r coal and gravel filters cannot be re lied upon. Warning Against Tight Corsets. Nature abhors a vacuum. There is no unoccupied space In the body; and to render any part of it smaller than nature designed, is to causo the or gans occupying that part to diminish In Blze, or to crowd together, one upon nnother. In either case, nature's proc esses aro sadly interrupted. C. E. Hastings, M. D. SOME SIMPLE DISHES. Breakfast Toast Cut rather thin slices of bread Into two or three pieces. Put these into the oven anil let them bake very slowly for two or three hours, or until of a golden color and crisp throughout. This Is an ex cellent substitute for breads and much more wholesome. It Is delicious served with cocoanut or dairy cream or but ter. Cocoanut Cream. Cut fresh cocoa nut into thin slices and grind the nut very fine in a chopper or somo strong hand mill. If nothing of this sort is available, tho cocoanut may be grated. To each cup or tho prepared nut add one cup of hot water, stirring and beating with a spoon to extract as much of the juice as possible. Drain off tho liquid and add a similar quan tity of hot water, and, after beating again very thoroughly, strain through a cloth or very fine sieve, pressing out all the liquid possible. This may be used at once as a substitute for milk, to be eaten with rice or other grains, or to prepare puddings or sauces. It Is excellent served with granose flakes or eaten with zwie back. If placed on the ice for a few hours, the cream will rise to the top and may be taken off, making a pure cocoanut butter. Strawberry Egg-nog. Beat the yolk and white ot one egg separately, and to each add one teaspoonful of sugar. To the yolk add one teaspoonful of lemon juice and two tablespoonfuls of strawberry juice.
