Methods of Fighting This Most Insidious of All Diseases
Best Plan Is to Keep Body In Proper Condition
f3lbhb
The Cold Air Cure
Cold air purifies the blood ener
Sles the heart puts new vim into
the muscles helps the stomach wakes
up the liver lifts the whole being to
ti higher plane of life
The most successful consumption
resort in the world is Davos a winter
xesort in the Swiss Alps near the En
gadine where the snow is six feet
leep and the temperature close to
zero all winter Every -winter hun
dreds of tubercular patients from all
iparts of the world resort to Davos to
take the cold air cure
Cold air cures there is no doubt
about it when accompanied by wise
and skillful managements and careful
regulation of diet In the summer
season this great healing force is
available only in a small measure by
means of cold baths ice rubs and
Jans but in the winter season the
lteen frosty air is everywhere ready
to be put to work as the great uplift
ing power it is when rightly applied
The winter season alone provides
continuous tonic conditions The
dense air containing from one eighth
to one fourth more oxygen than mid
summer stimulates all the vital pro
cesses to a higher degree of activity
Here is a healing force which is in
operation day and night and steadily
lifts the patient up to a higher level
-until the ebbing tide of life turns
backward and renovating forces of
the body resume their activities with
all the old time vigor
The Price of Indoor Life
Within the past twenty years there
lias been a steady development of con
fidence in the method of
treating pulmonary tuberculosis The
wonderful success that has attended
the outdoor treatment in all countries
irrespective of altitude or special
advantages has demonstrated
the immense value oftlie qut door life
as a curative means This is not sur
prising since man is naturally an out-of-door
animal The indoor life which
most civilized human beings live is
wholly artificial We pay an enor
mous price for the luxury of living in
houses Not only pulmonary tuber
culosis but a large number of other
chronic maladies are the natural out
growth of the lowered vital resistance
which results from the conditions im
posed by modern civilized life
We have become too much civilized
A mild return to savagery is the one
thing needful at the present time In
cold weather we can not live out of
loors but we can take care to supply
our living rooms and especially our
Ted rooms with an abundant supply of
yiure cold air This is a very excel
lent remedy for morning headaches
which usually mean air poisoning
Appetite Juice
The taking of food into the mouth
is a signal to all the digestive organs
to prepare for work Even the sight
and odor of food may cause an out
flow of saliva and at the same time
the gastric juice pours into the stom
ach
Pawlow of St Petersburg in ex
periments upon a dog observed that
when food was introduced into the
animals stomach through an opening
made for the purpose it was not acted
upon the digestive juice was not
poured out and the stomach appar
ently remained inert for nearly half
an hour On the other hand when the
animal was allowed to see and smell
the food the saliva and the gastric
juice poured forth abundantly even
though the animal did not actually
taste a morsel It is important that
the food should be retained in the
mouth for a sufficient length of time
to make the proper impression upon
the nerves of taste so that the entire
digestive apparatus shall be thorough
ly prepared to carry the food sub
stances through the successive steps
of the digestive process
The thorough chewing of the food
produces an abundance of what Paw
low calls Appetite Juice which is
the best and most important juice
formed by the stomach Hence food
must be well relished and eaten with
careful attention to very thorough
mastication
Vital Activity in Cold Weather
The vital fires burn brighter in cold
weather The whole tide of life
moves with greater activity The pro
cess of digestion is quickened because
the process of oxidation is increased
The liver requires oxygen for mak
ing bile and performing all its varied
functions and the oxygen we breathe
in cold air improves the function of
the liver so it can do one seventh
more work than before
The muscles also depend for their
activity upon oxygen In an excess
of carbonic acid gas the muscles are
asphyxiated and so one feels de
pressed in warm weather
A person does not get out of breath
so easily in cold air as in warm The
woodchopper can swing his axe with
more energy on a cohl day Cold air
aids in the elimination of the poison
ous matters which are all the time
forming within the body
When oxygen is not plentiful
enough to make the vital fires burn
sufficiently to consume the fuel and
waste of the body then much of the
waste material is left behind in the
burned substances
form of imperfectly
stances which may be called cinders
of the body
Burning Up the Eody Cinders
AH food must be burned within the
body to be of any value If too- much
ood is shoveled in the body furnace
i is clogged If too little draft is sup
plied the fuel is not entirely con
sumed This leaves cinders which
are the cause of many chronic dis
eases and of premature old age
The fuel supply may be regulated in
the dining room The draft is depend
ent on the kind and amount of air
breathed Cold crisp fresh air fur
nishes perfect draft The blood takes
from this kind of air when it is
breathed in just the element needed
to burn the food
Six breaths of out door air contain
as much of this element oxygen as
seven breaths of overheated indoor
air As man breathes about eighteen
times per minute this means a loss of
four thousand breaths a day by living
in a hot close indoor atmosphere
The amount taken in depends on the
babits of life A deep breath must be
earned A few moments vigorous out
dor exercise will do it The nostrils
dilate the chest heaves the heart
quickens the lungs expand and the
fresh air is pumped into the body at
a rapid rate The draft is open The
finders are burning up The whole
system is being cleared of rubbish
Dont be afraid of cold air Theres
life and health out of doors
Alcohol vs Strength
The laborer the traveler and the
soldier use alcohol under the delusion
that it produces strength When fa
tigued the laborer takes a glass of
grog and feels better He imagines
himself stronger His increased
strength however is wholly a matter
of imagination
The use of alcohol makes a man
feel stronger makes him believe that
he can do more work endure more
fatigue and hardship and withstand a
greater degree of cold than he could
without it but when an actual trial
Is made it soon becomes apparent
that the ability is lacking Numerous
experiments have shown that alcohol
decreases muscular strength Says
Dr Brunton The smallest quantity
takes somewhat from the strength of
the muscles Says Dr Edmunds of
London A stimulant is that which
gets strength out of a man
Some years ago a series of experi
ments were made for the purpose of
determining the influence of alcohol
upon the muscular strength The
combined strength of all the different
groups of muscles in the body was
found in the case of a healthy young
man to be 4881 pounds The young
man was then given two ounces of
brandy and the test was repeated
He felt confident that his strength
was increased In fact it was found
to be only 3385 pounds a loss of more
than one third A notable diminution
in strength was still present ten hours
after the administration of the
brandy
Real Healing Agents
There are many fictitious remedies
Some make a man feel better when
he is really getting worse The most
valuable measures which can be em
ployed in dealing with the sick may
be said to be baths exercise and diet
The chronic invalid can be made well
only by being reconstructed The
sick man must be transformed into a
healthy man by a process of gradual
change He has been months or years
in tearing down his constitution and
substituting an inferior grade of ma
terial Now this process must be re
versed and little by little the old tis
sues must be torn down and new tis
sues built in their place
Warm baths help throw off stored
up poisons and cold baths hasten the
destruction of waste tissues increase
the activity of the heart and of all the
organs encourage the formation of
the digestive fluids and increase the
appetite for food
By means of exercise the movement
of the blood is quickened and the old
diseased tissues are broken down and
carried out of the body Exercise al
ways diminishes weight By exercise
a normal appetite is earned and deep
breathing encouraged
Pure simple food is the proper ma
terial with which to construct a new
and healthy body Man is built of
what he eats The house is no better
than the material Thus baths exer
cise and a natural dietary constitute
a curative trio each helping the other

CHAPTER XVII Continued
The winds proving unfavorable it
was not until an evening in early July
that the Black Petrel anchored in
the harbor of Bordeaux
Knowing the location of Greloires
house Lafltte lost no time in reaching
it and was admitted by a sleepy eyed
servant who led the way through a
spacious hall to a closed door at the
farther end this he opened noise
lessly and announced Jims presence
At the sound of the servants voice
Greloire started hastily with a joyful
exclamation he jumped to his feet
with outstretched hands
Jean Jean lad It is truly thy
very self And thou hast at last
broken way and come back to the old
fold
Lafitte grasped the welcoming hands
and shook them cordially But his
eyes still searching Greloires face
saw beneath its look of momentary
gladness one of keen anguish and
the younger man wondered what
trouble had come to his friend
I cannot say as to that old com
rade was his guarded reply I have
certainly broken away for a time at
least but for how long and to what
purpose the near future must decide
not I
Greloires face clouded again but
only for an instant and placing a
chair for his guest he pressed him to
take breakfast
This however Lafitte declined ex
plaining that he had already partaken
of the meal aboard ship
I feel greatly flattered Jean that
you should be in such haste to see
me said Greloire as he began to eat
doing it in a perfunctory fashion that
indicated the performance of a duty
You are very welcome But with
a keen glance why have you come
To ask you to take me to the em
peror and if it may be help me to
find some way of serving him
Greloires fork fell upon his plate
The emperor he repeated a

There was a short silence after
which Greloire who appeared to have
been turning something in his mind
exclaimed Bien I believe I can see
a very clear way for ourselves
Yes what is it
Do you remember Murier It
was he who brought you to Bonaparte
that morning after the storming of
Toulon Do you remember
A grave look had been deepening in
Lafittes face and his voice had a
softer tone as he answered Yes yes
old friend I remember Murier But
what can he possibly have to do with
our project
Much as you will see when I ex
plain Murier and I were much to
gether and much to one another
close comrades He lost an arm at
Wagram was decorated and pen
sioned and then went to Elba where
he has since lived with his married
sister Madame Teche whose husband
is a farmer We will go first
to Murier he is close to the
emperor perhaps in his service
and I doubt not that he will be able
to arrange for an interview But of this
I am certain that he will welcome us
and do all in his power to serve us
Good exclaimed Lafitte from
whose face the reminiscent look had
vanished And now Greloire let us
consult as to the details How soon
can we depart
Then while the day grew the two
perfected their plans
Lafitte and Greloire set out on
horseback that same evening making
no prolonged stop until Toulon was
reached They arrived there early one
afternoon and rested until the follow
ing morning and the two Lafitte
more especially felt like ghosts re
turned to former scenes as they ram
bled about the slightly changed
streets
They left their horses at Toulon
and pushed on by hired conveyance to
Cannes Then in order to avoid sus
picion they crossed over to Leghorn
Jean Jean lad It is truly thy yery self
cloud of anguish sweeping all the
brightness from his face Know you
not what has happened that he is no
longer emperor of France
What cried Lafitte starting from
his chair Then he added lightly
You are jesting or trying to surprise
me Perhaps you will tell me that he
is now ruler of all Europe
I can explain everything in a few
words replied Greloire evidently
trying to repress his feelings and as
sume a calmness of manner The
Russian campaign was most disas
trous and the emperor returned
beaten The allies followed him to
Paris where he defeated their three
armies one after the other although
he was outnumbered five to one But
he lost many men some of his most
trusted marshals turned traitors and
he was forced finally to abdicate
Then the allies those who had been
proud of his friendship and sought his
aid in former years sent him to Elba
as its ruler
Lafitte who had listened with wide
open eyes seemed scarcely able to
comprehend all that he had heard
What is this you tell me he mut
tered slowly amazement and rage giv
ing a new look to his face Do you
say that the emperor is on Elba
He is and exiled there I am tell
ing you what all Europe has known
for weeks cried Greloire passion
ately the tears streaming from his
eyes
And I
find use
came hoping that he could
for my services here in
France
Lafitte spoke despairingly for
again as three years before had Gre
loire uttered words to stir the utter
most depths of his nature
Tell me old friend do you think it
would be possible for me to see him
Why not He receives many peo
ple who visit Elba in order to pay him
homage
Then surely I should be able to see
him But how can it be arranged
Cannot you think of some plan de
manded Lafitte a mingling of pleasure
and impatience showing in his face as
he again seated himself
How soon do you wish to start
At once for I can afford to lose no
time It must be now was the impa
Ment reply
and chartering a large fishing smack
sailed for Porto Ferrajo the principal
port of Elba where the emperor re
sided
The Teche farm was about a mile in
land and one of the younger men
offering his services as guide he led
the way from the beach across a
grassy field until having passed
through a piece of woods they came
out upon an eminence overlooking a
fertile valley planted with vines as
were also the opposite hillsides
Below lay a spacious wooden dwell
ing and near it a man coatless and
with one shirt sleeve swinging empty
of the arm that should have filled it
was walking slowly about a large dog
following at his heels
Murier himself by all that is for
tunate muttered Greloire raising a
hand to better shade his eyes from the
glare of sunshine after which he took
a deep breath and sent his voice
ahead in a vigorous and prolonged
shout
They were close enough to see Mur
iers perplexed face as he turned
quickly and looked toward them But
the perplexity was lost in a glow of
glad eagerness as he came forward
and grasped Greloire by the arm
while the latters hands caught the
coatless shoulders and shook them
playfully
Aha old comrade Greloire cried
laughingly I rejoice to see that the
Elba sun has made those cheeks of
thine less white than when I last saw
them in the hospital Thou are well
Quite well my dear Felix I assure
you was the more quiet reply But
what happy fortune has brought thee
to this part of the world to gladden
my eyes
You shall know all about it later
said Greloire But let me present
you Murier to Captain Lafitte of
Louisiana in the United States you
will understand He is my friend
Murier extended his hand to Lafitte
who with a few courteous words
clasped it warmly
It had been agreed that Lafitte
should be known to Murier as Captain
Lafitte from America who desired to
do himself the honor of paying his re
spects to the exiled emperor
The only person now exercising sur
veillance upon Elba was the English
f commissioner who happened to bo ab
sent for a day from Porto Ferrajo
This was a fortunate circumstance for
Lafltte and Greloire as the commis
sioner was supposed to keep a watch
ful eye upon the emperor and report
his observations to the English cab
inet
Still as Greloire had said it was
no uncommon thing for travelers to
visit Elba with the object of paying
their respects to Napoleon and Mur
ier after laying Greloires request be
fore him was to ascertain if he would
consent to receive his former soldier
and the American captain that same
evening
Thus had it been settled when Mur
ier and Greloire came out of the house
and joined the two who were chatting
on the shaded veranda
When their hostess took her depart
ure Lafitte turned to Murier and
asked abruptly How does your em
peror bear his exile Seems he happy
at all or even content
Have you ever seen him You
speak as one who admires yes loves
him Murier spoke rapidly and his
searching eyes showed a certain sur
prise at the eagerness manifested in
the younger mans face
I surely admire and love him was
the answer hearty and yet evasive
of Muriers question Cannot one do
this without having seen him
Indeed yes msieur replied Mur
ier in a tone of strong emotion Are
there many hearts in America may I
ask who hold him thus
Lafitte hesitated a moment before
answering with an emphasis that left
nothing for Murier to desire If they
knew him as do I every heart would
Teel as does mine As it is nowhere
in France is his name held more
sacred than in Louisiana Now
Msieur Murier will you not answer
my question
Certainly Msieur le Capitaine I
will answer you frankly Whenever I
have seen the emperor which of late
has been frequently it has been to see
him tranquil almost to indifference
Here Greloire who had been listen
ing with growing indignation broke
into the conversation
And think you Murier that such a
state of affairs is to continue Can
you believe that his wonderful powers
are crushed lost in this indifference
of which you speak No I believe
that sooner or later he will rise
and
Sh h warned Murier with a
quick imperative gesture This is a
time and place old comrade when it
is wise to do no believing aloud Let
us talk no more of such matters but
learn from Msieur le Capitaine some
thing of that wonderful country of his
Louisiana
The talk was interrupted by the re
appearance of Madame Teche who
summoned them to dinner and Gre
loire and Lafitte the former more
especially who had found little en
joyment in the cuisine of the fishing
smack were not slow in accepting the
invitation
By the time full justice had been
done to the generous meal the hour
had come for Murier to report for
duty and promising to return with
all possible speed he left the guests
to be entertained by his sister
The twilight was near with the
glow of sunset paled in the valley and
the shadows climbing the hills out
lined sharply against the liquid glory
of the cloudless sky when he returned
with the information that the emperor
would at 8 oclock receive Greloire
and his friend the American gentle
man and shortly afterward they
guided by Murier took their way
across the darkening valley and en
tered a grassy road that wound
through a gateway of the hills

one notable occasion this peculiar cry
was heard in London A daring bush
ranger made his appearance one
morning in front of a bank in Bal

the door to the effect that the place
would be closed for an hour
Entering he terrorized the officials
with his revolver and got clear away
with 30000 Some time afterward
the authorities received information
that the man had been seen in Lon

espied his man in the Strand but not
being quite sure he hit upon an ex
