Ht They Followed Suit!
So noticeable a change for the better
Am is shown in last week's Herald is re
tnarkal le, nnd lends thinking people t"
speculate ns to the prol al le cause and
results in the query "Have they follow
ed su t?" Only two weeks ago the Re
pul lican nnnonnced tlmt it would rise
from out the filth and slime in which
it hfd dwilt for so long, and strive
for a holier and better plain of exist
ence, nnd so the question is asked
"fTas tlm Herald followed suit?' Would
' ' w r ug to suggest that alter years
f "I run ping" in sinful debauchery a f
t. r bnv rig stooped to arid tarried with
fririn of sinfulness-Iiad lied, lieat-
t ! n, rolibed, dabbled in all the

i" n more in which to revel, would
1 r ng to suggest that for once they
j i i! "follow suit" jut as a novelty
! l'i- 'i tlrni else? Thonh many higher
i 1 i i tkr reasons might be presented.
T! good hook teaches that none are
v , IckI nnd sinful but that reientiince

i . n. A person, created without a uat
n 1 dt-s're to do good should early seek
t'i follow ff me one who is not ho unfort
iirnte or nlio has reienttd and is travul-
ng the htia ght nnd narrow path to fu
ture good and future greatness. Rtpcr.t
ain e nevtr i ernes too late though it' is
ever so slow or so tardy so we cons'dtr
the I est curse for the Herald is to "fol

example than we are capable of sttt.ng.
t is sorrow mid regret that is exj ressed
hy those w ho have gone troni the good
to the I ltd, but all is joy and thankful
ness that is expressed by those who have
come up out of s n into the light of truth
and r'glit. Try it Mr. Herald. . 'ome
up and en joy the benefits of the beauti
ful sunlight of a peaceful conscience
and the joy that conies of right doing.

Chewing (Jtim Hurts the Eyes.
" f the girls only knew that their eyes
ire being ruined by chewing gum, they
would shrink ffom if as they would from
a viper" said a host nut street Optican
vestirday. "We all know to. what an
extent this chewing gum is carried on.
md what a nasty habit it is. I would
dvise all girls to stop it at once. f
they have a big wad in their mouth
while reading this interview let them
throw it out and 'swear oif as Hie drink
ers say, fur in one respect these dainty
ifiris are like drunkards. f they are
chronic gum-chewers they are heir to the
inlirniitics that alllict the chronic whis
key drinkers. T have three girls who
were ndicted to the habit, but 1 broke
them from it after a great deal of per
suasion and some trifling punishment
Die oldest girl has evidences of the hab
it though, and will carry them to her
j;rave."
"How are the eyes affected?"
"Well, the must les of the jaw-connect
wi(h the spine, and from the spine
there are I'ttle fibrous tissues running in
ill directions. A number of these ex
tend to the eyes and are tailed the optic
nerves. Now, if you will watch u per
son eating, you will notice a palpitation
if the temples when the lower jaw
moves up and down in the process of
mastication. This is caused by the
working of the optic nervs, which keep
the inner part of the eyes in motion, and
exercise the nerves as much as is neces
sary to keep tliem in a Ilea I thy condi
tion. The nerves are more tender and
icnsativetoa degree than one would
imagine. Wlien they are overworked
tliey liecome shrunken and enfeeuled,
and then the process of deterioml.on in
tho eyesight begins. Of course, the
shrinking of the nerve draws lack . the.
;y into the socket, and as it is connect
ed hy slender threads of tissue to the
pup. I ol the eye, this also becomes nl
ietted. The tonsequente is that the
c iiecoiues weak and looses its color,
I becomes an unnatural looking ;gni. ,
mil the vision is mo much impaired by u
Unit eye-glasses munt he resorted to.. '
" ")ne of my girl wears glasses just
e mi.' she chuweel so much gum. Her
t t niit is pm tmill" ru lied, and she
a. . rows' feet r iiUIch nl out the outer
. i iiers tluit are enusul by the flesh of
tv liticks le ug lui'i ed upward hy the
r t iioflliejim. Nik. is also troui.lccl
i .ud.g'ent.on Ir.nii tlxt saniu cuusu.
These are all symptoms exhibited hy a
person who dr nks whiskey plentifully,
and ben e the comparison. Partnt-t
ought t t ike this matter in hand and
see if they cannot rid their girls of the
habit, t is a filthy one, outside the ter
nible effect it has upon tlie human sys
tem, f the ha rents will keep from
their girls some of their little perqui
sites unt l they stop chewing gum, they
would soon give up tlie habit."- PIlUv

Some Little ThiBg.
See to it that the children thoroughly
warm their feet bhfore going to school,
and on return'ng home. They are sel
dom disposed to do it themselves. Many
a serious cold, or other inflamitory at
tack, might be prevented by attention to
this precaution.
Teach the children, when out of doors,
to keep their mouths closed, and trtathe
through their nostrils. This prevents
the air the temperature of which may
N zero from striking directly on the
tonsils and the larnyx. As the nasal
passages are kept constantly warmed by
the breath from the heated lungs, the
inbreathed air is warmed as it passes
circu'tously through theru.
Cliildcn who are liable to inflimmation
and swell'ng of the tonsils, or to troubles
of the ear. should wear hoods that come
well down on the forehead and well down
on the neck, Hats are dangerous for
such children, and so are bonnets, un
less care is taken to tiring them well
down over the sides of the head.
"u our fit es nnd large towns especi
ally, children are inclined to sit together
on the stone door steps, which are often
ice-cold. This practice needs to be
gunrded against. Every thoughtful
mother will readily see how dangerous
it is for her g rls.
On returning from a cold walk or r'de,
throw oil' all but the home clothing at
once. The outer clothing Is nearly nt
the temperature of the outside atmos
phere, and, if kept on, must absorb
much hi at, which might otherwise come
to the wenrir immed ately.
n dressing nnd undressing in a cold
room move about as little as possible
when the Kl'ppers are otf. The carpet
just under the feet is warmed bv ab-sti-iw
-ting1 "heat from the feet, and the per
son has the advantage of it while every
change t'lkes add.t'onnl heat to warm n
new place, 'h undressing keep the slip
pers on ns long as conven ent; in dress
ing nit theifi on as soon ris possible. f
a chamber is without a woolen carpe,
lie sure o have a woolen mat or rug or
bit of carpeting near the bed on which to
stand.
All sbppers for use in cold weather
should have extra inner soles, to lilt the
feet from the cold floor and retain the
natural heat. Where nothing else enn
lie had, such soles can In cut from card
board,, and a thickness of woolen cloth
should be stitched on e ther side.
For ' women in the kitchen slippers
made of woolen uppers and thick felt
soles are desirable. Slippers are prefer
able for home use to buttoned liools, as
they facil'nle the warming of the feet,
which is otherwise apt to be unduly neg
lected. Youth's ompariion.
A txnig Winded Orator.
Long speeches a re common. Tn the
Georgia l.rislature, when the question
of expelliug the negro nieniliers was up,
Aron Alpebrin Bindley spoke four d: ys.
The Tichborne, trial brought i r. Kene
aley to the front with a speech run
ning through 140 days. But these speak
ers did not talk continuously. , Adj.'um
ments for dinner and over night, and for
Sunday niiide their wqrk easy.
The longest sfieecli on record, says the
hicago Times, is probably the one made

islature of British Columbia, some tune

lands, nnd the temper of , ille major ty

legislature.was within a day and a hall
of the hour of its gnnl adjournment and
the vote was about to lie taken.
At this juncture e . osmos rose to ad
dress the body. . t was ten o'clock in
the morning, and the members thought
that he would finish in an hour or two.
The clock struck 11, U ami 1 but the
speaker kept right on.
How long would he speak? The mem
bers in a sp.nt of fun omitted to ad
journ lor 1, niier, but e Cosmos spoke
on without a break. At 6, o'clock he
wns still on the floor. He wajt forced by

also wlien tlie morning sun flooded t ie

As tw hour I land of tho clojk p inWI

lamt ng in his seal.
He had spoken, standing on his feet,
twanty-six hours. His eyes were
hleired and red, and his parched lips
wejfe cracked and running t lood. He
wai nearly dead, but he had prevented
th hill from becoming a law and had
sawed the settlers their homes.
