Here Is one of the mistakes of our
education, moral and social. Hoys and
J-oung men look upon It as better to
Uuard themselves against deception or
Imposition by studying to know the
tricks and subterfuges of trade and
of morals. Wo breed, in short, a great
Burplus of smart people people who
take pride not In (hiding much to be
lieve In, but In seeing how much they
can underrate things and men.
Now that tho scientists are discov
ering everything to be germ-Infested
uid dangerous only one more point of
attack remains. That will fall when
Ihe germ hunters discover that the
human breath Is swarming with bacil
li and that the only way to bo entirely
safe Is to atop breathing. Already the
Bat has gone forth that wo must stop
tHtlng and drinking, so that the last
alternative Is perhaps merely the logi
cal conclusion of the whole germ the
ory. The new German law regulating the
NiSployment of children, which went
Into effect at the beginning of this
ymr. provides that no child shall work
t any building operations, in any
brickyard, at breaking rocks, swoop
ug chimneys, grinding or mixing
(Mint, or In any cellars or vaulLs. With
in the moaning of the law a child is a
boy or girl less than KJ years old. The
law not only regulates the employ
ment of children In factories, but In
their own homes as well. This was
necessary, as more than live hundred
thousand children are working for hire
ouhddo of factories, whereas only
twenty-seven thousand are employed
In tho factories. Tho prevalence of
homo Industries In Germany has made
It necessary to arrange for the Inspec
tion of the homes to discover whether
tho children of tho family are over
worked or not.

here's to the raw-boned country boy,
the best of !ho riders. Ho Is 'worth
all the salary he is paid, and more, If
he will continue to prove that charac
ter Is superior to every form of temp
tation. The search for the fountain of
youth has not been abandoned, as tho
numerous dietary experiments abun
dantly attest. Science Is the modern
Ponce dc l.eon. The era of strietlv
sclentllle living for the most of us has
not downed, and Is afar oil", but may
we not hope that the time Is coining
when the most casual caller at tho
lunch counter will order as ininy
graine ol protein, ft, carbohydrates
and the rest as his physical or intellec
tual necessities seem to require? The
man who Is about to produce an epic

tains the requisite amount of nitro

cures a sulllelcnt number of calorics
of boat value dally. The strictly m len
tlllc dletarlan. we are assured, Is a
hopeful candidate for longevity, though
there Is some confusion among; tho ex
perts on this Important point. Ono of
the eminent Hrltlsh authorities rec
ommends moderation in eating mil
drinking. Another says that tho
stress of a long life entails a tremen
dous strain upon the vital energies,
and he therefore holds that "ho who
would live long must eat heartily."
L'he weight of the evidence, as tho
lawyers would say, tends to provo
that our chances of long life depend
upon the quality rather than upon tho
quantity of our food. Prof. Ell Mlteh-
nlkoff of the Pasteur Institute. Is
quoted as saying that a man who lives
a sclentllle life from birth may hope to
live J-IO yours. On the economic side,
scientific living Is cheap. Its cost Is
almost a negligible quantity. It was
shown by a recent test that a man
can live on nourishing food for only
20 cents a day. There must be a limit,,
of course, to the minimum cost of llv-l
lug, but. there Is no telling what sci
ence may do for us in this direction.

Whether tobacco Is to be prescribed
or proscribed for those who aspire to
centenarian or bi-centenaiian laurels
Is a moot point. The number of per
sons addicted to the seductive weed
who have reached or nearly reached
the century goal Is provoktngly large.
Further more, niuoh of the world's
best work, Intellectual or otherwise,
has been performed In clouds of to
bacco smoke. Napoleon hated tobacco,
but Hluehor, who helped In Napol
eon's dlscomtUuro at Waterloo, it Is
said always went Into action with a
well-tilled pipe. In the Held of Intel

Tennyson, lUsnmrok and many moro

DISL'AKAGINU PEOPLK
Tharc arc people who disparage
everything and everybody. They
are constantly looking for faults and
blemishes. There are homes where
tho children hear continual criticism
from their parents, where tho con
versation Is made up largely of
adverse judgments of everybody and
everything, whero every character
Is dissected and the Haws rather
than the pond traits held up Lo viow.
Whether these judgments bo Just or
not, tho olleet upon the children Is

three things quite unnuturul to the
child mind. As a result we have
pessimists, made such not hy harsh
experiences ol life, hut by the habit
of looking on the wrong side. Par

to get along without it. i nave

Pc-ru-iiii Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.
One of the greatest foes with which
every family lias to contend is our
oluiiigonble climate. To protect the
fiimllv from oolds and coughs is always
u serious problem, and often Impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to entcli cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the uso of proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
mid perlmps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. Tills is a settled fact of
human experience. Everybody must
expect to be cuught somewhere or some
how. Perhaps it will ho wet feet, or n
draught, or dnuip clothes, or it may be
one of a thousand other little mishaps,
hut no one is shrewd enough to always
avoid tho inevitable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than Hint Peruna cures
catarrh wherever locnted. Thousnnds
of families in all pnrts of the United
States o nro protected from colds and
CMtmrh by Peruna. Once in the family
Peruna always stays. No home can
spare Peruna after tho first trial of it.

Mrs. A. Hobson, 225 Washington

"Peruna has been such a blessing'
to my only child, as well as myself,
that I feel Induced to give my testi
monial. Ho has always suffered
from catarrh of the head and throat,
and I had to use extra precautions
so as not to have him exposed to,
damp or cold weather. Last year
he was taken with la grippe, and as
it was a severe case, caused met
much anxiety. No medicine helped',
him till he took Pcruna. I noticed
an Improvement at once and In'
three weeks he was a different
child; the grippe had been com-'
pletcly cured and I noticed that tho
catarrh was made better. He kept
taking It two weeks longer, wliec
he was entirely well. I now use it
off and on for colds, cramps, lndl-
gestlon or general indisposition, and
find It superior to any doctors or
medicine I ever tried. It keeps me,
as well as my child, In perfect
health, and I gladly recommend It
to mothers. " Mrs. A. Hobson.
