NATURE'S GREAT
Lot (ho Sunlight Roach Every Corner of the
House and Destroy the Gormr.
Nature's gront disinfectant In sun
light. It is n most interesting fnct
that this wonderful light, which pro
inolGS tho growth of useful plants nnd
sustains nnlmal life, nt tho unmc tlnio
destroys by Its very hrlghtncBB nil
fort8 of germa wlilch nro brought In
contact with It. It Is thin fact nlono
which render tho earth Inhabitable,
ticrms develop with Btich marvelous
rapidity that they would quickly over
whelm ub by their very numbers If
not constantly destroyed by tho min.
A llttlo computation will readily Bhow
ihiB. Homo germs nrc capablo of such
rapid multiplication that they may
tfoublo every fifteen minutes under
favorabto conditions of tcmporatiiro
and food supply. Estimate tho num
ber of germs which might bo pro
duced in n single day of twenty-four
hours, or ninety-six doublings. Tho
number would bo moro than thirty
two thousand billion billions, or suf
ficient to cover eighty thousand
nqunro miles n foot deep, or All a
Rpnco of more than fifteen cubic
miles. Tho Incrcaso of a minuto or
ganism occupying a cubic spneo of
not' more, than ouo twenty-thousandth
uf an Inch to such prodigious magnl
tuilo is beyond comprehension, nnd
practically cannot occur; for while
tho germ may grow at this Immcnso
rapidity for a short tlmo, tho poisons
which It producos becomo destructive
to Itself. Tho material upon which It
feeds is also exhausted, so that Its
growth ceases.
DoubtloBs all havo noticed tho fact
that mold grows during tho night and
In dark, damp cellars. Bright mm
light quickly destroys gorras, mold,
nnd other parasitic organisms. Dif
fused daylight does not act nearly so
rapidly,, but accomplishes in the
courso of a few hours what bright
sunlight Is capable of doing In a few
minutes, it is clearly evident, then,
that In order that our houses should
bo kept free from germs, they, liko
our bodies, should bo4made full of life.
Tho shutters should bo opened, tho
curtains raised, and the light admit
ted to evory room in tho house, clos
ets Included, so that tho disinfecting
power of light rany bo exercised In
every nook and corner of tho dwell
ing. Occupation and Tuberculosis.
Tho lnfluonco of occupation ns a
caUso of consumption Is shown by Dr.
J. M. Kronen in tho Medical Exam
iner. At least four classes of employ
ments ments have a tendency to favor
tho dovolopment of tuberculosis.
They nro:
1. Sedentary employments in 111
ventilated apartments, Involving con
finement in Impuro nlr, nnd other un
wholcsomo conditions. This class of
occupations Is typified by tho so
called Bwot-sbops for tho manufacture
of various articles of clothing.
" 2. Employments which necessitates
tho Inhalation of irritating dust nnd
noxious vapors. Such aro thoso of
stone-cutters, bleachers, mntchmak
ors, file-cutters, grinders, engravers,
elc.
3. Employments which involve tho
overuse or nbuso of certain muscles.
Theso aro athletes, prize fighters,
gymnasts, wrestlers, professional bl
cyclo riders, ball players, etc., a largo
proportion of whom dlo oventually of
xmthlsis.
4. Employments which Involvo un
due familiarity with Intoxicants.
Theso uro thoso connected with man
ufacture and sale of wine, beer and
tho various classes of alcoholics.
Tatham'R tables show that, taking tho
nvcrago mortality from consumption
nt one hundred, that of publicans is
one hundred and forty, of brewers ono
hundred and forty-eight nnd of bar
tenders two hundred nnd flfty-soven.
Overcoming Hereditary Tuberculosis.
Much Is being snld nowadays re
specting tho out-of-door trcntment of
tuberculosis, a disease which, whllo
rarely directly transmissible by hered
ity, is ono tho predisposition to which
is In the hlghost degree hereditary.
It has boon cloarly shown by numer
ous experiments in Vnrlous parts of
tho Uulted Statos that out-of-door llfo
with rogular hygienic habits, lrro
spoctlvo of altltudo or special climat
ic advantages, Is cnpnble of so aiding
tho natural powors of tho body as to
effect a euro of this formidable mal
ndy without tho uso of drugs of any
sort.
Tuberculosis Is a disease of civiliza
tion. It scarcely exists among sav
ages who llvo la tho primitive state,
but quickly appears among such peo
ple when the habits of civilization nro
adopted, especially tho Indoor life.
Tho South American monkey and tho
North American Indian allko fall vic
tims to this dtseaso when shut away
from the sunlight and acttvo exercise
out of doors.
The time Is not far distant when
every largo city will find it necessary
to provide conveniences for tho ap
plication of this simple curatlvo meas
ure, not only for tho purpose of rescu
ing the victims of pulmouary tuber
culosis from tho certain fato which
awaits them, but as an essonUal
measure for protecting tho public
health.
Health Observations Abroad.
One of the most pitiful sights In
England Js to soe youug womon act
ing as barmaids in tho public drink
ing places, and to seo womon olbov.
Ing their way to tho bar and then
Btana thero, shoulder to shoulder with
BJ
DISINFECTANT.
VWWvnMWMvyV
MAAfc
n crowd of coarse, half-drunken men,
nnd with them partake freely of In
toxicating liquor. Unfortunately, this
painful sight is not nt nil rare, nnd It
Is qullo common to see drunken wom
en rcoHng about In the streets. What
a sad commentary on our modem civ
ilization. In Copenhagen It is the custom to
dress young schoolgirls so that their
arms nrc almost or entirely bare, even
In wenthor when Americans appre
ciate their overcoats. This practlco
necessarily chills tho blood, and tends
to produce congestion of tho internal
organs, and undoubtedly lays tho
foundation for colds, pneumonia and,
tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis Is making snd havoc
among tho urban population of Nor
way. It Is pitiful to nolo how this
plague Is decimating this onco hardy
race. Sedentary life, indoor confine
ment nnd defective ventilation are
undoubtedly tho most prolific causes,
for fifty per cent of tho tubercular
cases make a satisfactory recovery
when they nrc sent to somo outdoor
sanitarium; and what will euro a con
sumptive would certainly havo pre
vented tho onset of tho dlscnBC,
The liquor curso Is undermining the
physical stamina of tho Swedish race.
Liquor drinking among tho working
classos Is almost universal. One
third of their population dlo before
tho ago of twenty-one, and one-fourth
of those who live, nro rejected from
military service on account of phys
ical disqualifications.
An American Puzzle.
Dr. Lorcnz, of bloodless surgery
fame, canuot understand how Amer
icans enjoy fair health on a diet that
would depopulato any other country.
"Tho pics, pTuldlngg, sauces and In
numerable other dishes, most of
illicit are uubealtbful in tho extreme,
partaken of by young and old allko
In America, havo caused mo to won
der," says Dr. Lorenz, "that tho pco
plo nro not physical and constitution
al wrecks."
Tho secret Is to bo found In tho
simple, hardy llvos of tho forefathers
of tho present generation. Their vig
orous health has bestowed upon tho
grandchildren wonderful constitution
al vigor. Hut tho chnngo from tho
slmplo to tho luxurious Is working
havoc. Tho rising generation have
squandered tho constitutional capital
bequeathed to them and nro rapidly
becoming physical bankrupts. A halt
must bo called and tho slmplo habits
resumed or tho prophecy of Dr. Lo
renz will surely bo realized.

"MY WIFE'S PEOPLE COMING."
"We have had a splendid winter" 1,1
Western Canada.
Canada's Inrush this year Is wonder
fully groat and considerably ahqad ot
any previous year. !t Is always Inter
esting to thoso who contemplate mov
ing to read expressions of opinion
from those living In tho country, it
Is therefore our pleasure to reproduco
tho following, written to an Agent ot
tho Government and forwarded to
the Immigration Branch of tho Depart
ment ot tho Interior at Ottawa:
Birch Hills, Sask., Canada, Fob.lW.
Dear Sir: I tako pleasure In drop
ping you a few lines to lot you know
bow wo aro getting along up hero and
how wo like the place. Wo have been
hero close on to a year now and think
the place is fine. We havo been out
every day this winter working in tho
bush getting out logs for buildings,
etc., getting rails for fencing. Wo
have not suffered with tho cold as
much ns we did in Chicago. My llt
tlo boys aro out overy day with their
sleighs having a good time. Tho low
est tho temperature has been this
winter Is 34 below, and It Is very still,
no wind.
We had a splendid summer. Wo
put up nbout 50 tons of hay and will
have about 30 tons to self. Hay
brings $8 per ton now and will bo
higher In the spring. Wo havo 20
acres broke and ready for crop. Wo
worked on tho Can. Nor. Ry. for
awhile this summer and am Just 3
miles from tho It. R. and town site.
Tho steel Is all laid to within 2
miles of tho river and we often seo
the train bringing supplies for tho
Bridge.
My wife's people are coming up
nbout May. I wish you would wrlto
them and If there should bo any one
coming to Princo Albert that could do
with a half a car lot them know. Tho
homesteads aro all taken up within
12 miles of us. I often think if this
land were only In tho States what a
rush there would be. It Is tho rich
est land anil most productlvo I ever
saw, nnd the cllmato is O. K.
I know that people back thero that
I write to do not believe me when I
wrlto them what a splendid winter
wo aro having. They think wo aro all
frozen up. Wo havo only about 8
Inches of snow, and there are cattlo
on the range that havo not been
rounded up this winter. -Day after day
tho Ther. raises up to B0 and 60, and
I don't bclievo wo have had a day
this winter that it stayed at zero.
My wife says that wo used to think
that zero was cold in Chicago. But
wo don't mind it one bit. Christmas
night wo went out and drove 5 miles
with our 3 llttlo boys, it was 20 bo
low, and thero was not a whimper
from any one of them; I'd hate to do
It in old Chicago.
Well, I guess I will close, and you
can tell any one In tho U. S. that they
cannot do better than como to tho
Princo Albert District, I remain.
Yours truly,
(Signed) J. D. Head.
Show mercy to tho oppressed a3
you hope to have It extended to you.

Properties of Crystals.
Although minerals are not credited
with principles of growth and living,
yet they do possess most interesting
structural, physical and chemical
properties. It a crystal bo broken or
mutilated In any way whatever, it pos

juries during subsequent growth.
This capacity for healing, as well as
enlargement has been pointed out by
many scientific authors, and Is be
yorld the power possessed by plants.
