fox who was prowling about looking to see where he might setal a dinner saw a wagon coming It was loaded with fish and was driven by some fishermen who were taking home their days catch Ah ha said the cunning fox Here comes my din ner And he fell down the pretended to be dead The fishermen seeing him picked him up and threw him into the wagon among the fish Then the fox slyly threw out some fish and when the fishermen were not looking jumped off himself and made off with the fish he had thrown out Pretty soon afterward he met a wolf who said I am hungry I guess I will eat you for my dinner But the fox said Would you rather not have fish for dinner The wolf replied that upon the whole he thought he would prefer fish Then the cunning fox told him of the trick by which he had just got his dinner and advised him to try it The wolf was pleased with the idea so he ran through the woods and headed off the team which the fisher men were driving falling down in the road before it and pretending to be dead But the fishermen who had by this time discovered the trick the fox had played upon them instead of tailing him into the wagon beat him with clubs so that he barely escaped with his life And on a hillside near by sat the fox who laughed and laughed Dog Tongs Preserved in the cathedral of Ban gor Wales is a pair of old dog tongs which were used for ejecting quarrelsome dogs from church during service A similar pair is preserved at Llanynys Wales and bears numer ous teeth marks One trouble with most of our re forms is that we are more anxious to remove the things that offend our taste than we are to get rid of those that form anothers temptations The most unsound religion is that which is all sound Battle Creek Sanitarium Battle Creek What memories that name conjures up memories of other days even the pioneer days when the redmen of the northern lake region bent the bow and smeared their faces with keal braided their flowing locks with feathers of the porcupine and wild eagle that they might appear more wild if possible than before And as they painted the cheeks and braided the hair the squaw women sharpened the flint arrow heads and shaped new bows that their lords might do battle to the death with other redmen And here at Battle Creek way up in Michigan a great battle one day did occur and when it was over and j the sun kissed the range to the far ft est the tom toms were munled and the squaw women wrapped their heads in vari colored blankets and wept for with the going down of the sun many braves passed to the proverbial happy hunting grounds But that was many many moons ago as the Indians measure time and a new era has long since dawned True it is Battle Creek to day just as it was decades ago but instead of the cry of the savage is heard the hum of industry tho throb of life the greeting of men and women of the Anglo Saxon race the shouts of happy boys and girls who know of Battle Creeks former history only by tradition And here on the site of the famous battle between the red men stands now one of the fairest cities of the great Northwest a city sought out among thousands for in it dwell month after month as the years come and go men and women who find within the charmed circle that which they have long sought else where health When one speaks of health the mind naturally wings itself to Battle Creek for up there health is to be found as at few other places on earth Forty years ago there began in Bat tle Creek a return to nature move ment with purposes and pricinples in many respects similar to those which led to the famous Brook Farm Exper iment twenty years before and to the Grahamite movement of that period This movement while religious was avowedly non sectarian and was in a broad sense philanthropic altruistic and reformatory The immediate re sults were the establishment of a monthly journal now known as Good Health and shortly afterwards the erection of a health institution called The Health Reform Institute The chief features of the institute at this early period were diet reform dress reform and the use of water as a cura tive agent In 1S7G the present management took charge of the institution and with the consent and co operation of the Board of Directors the institution having been incorporated ten years before a thorough reorganization was effected Broader plans were intro duced the methods of treatment were placed upon a substantial and thor oughly scientific foundation and the name was changed to the Battle Creek Sanitarium Since this time the growth of the institution has been con stant and rapid From year to jear accommoda tions for patients and facilities for treatments were enlarged to meet the increasing patronage until Feb ruary 1902 when a great fire swept away the two principal build ings of the establishment The erec tion of a new building was speedily begun and the following year May 31 1903 the present fireproof main build ing erected at a cost of more than 000000 was dedicated The cost of the entire establishment including equipment twenty dormitories cot tages and other buildings has amount ed to more than 1200000 The Battle Creek Sanitarium as it stands to day is recognized the world over as the most complete and thor oughly equipped establishment of its sort and the headquarters for physio logic therapeutics or natural methods Connected with the Sanitarium is a Training School for Nurses in which from two to three hundred nurses are constantly under training These principles and methods have penetrated to the remotest parts of the civilized world and scores of men and women who have been trained in these methods are devoting their lives to medical missionary work in heathen lands The Battle Creek Sanitarium may be regarded as an epitome of the return-to-nature idea in practical operation Its success in the restoration of sick people to health brings to it annually many thousands of men and women many of whom have been pronounced incurable but who nevertheless with rare exceptions return a few months later to their homes prepared to enter again upon the battle of life There are many sanitariums In the world but few if ary that are con ducted on the same plane as that at Battle Creek This haven of rest and health is in no sense a money-making scheme and every cent that is made from patients who are able to pay for their accommodations is used to help those who have nothing but broken health All over this country and even beyond the seas branch in stitutions are springing up creepers from the mother plant at Battle Creek One point in view is down on State street in the center of the me tropolis of the Middle West Chicago where hundreds of the citys poor are cared for as tenderly as if in the par ent institution at Battle Creek In a few brief paragraphs one can tell but little of the good work of the Battle Creek Sanitarium but a postal card will bring pamphlets that will tell all all except the knowledge ob tained by actual experience and that exDrioTi nt be had at Battle Creek to bo appreciated to its full worth This institution at Battle Creek was not built up in a day It took years of toil to reach tho perfected state and the work has but begun the great work Is to come from rising genera tions who are imbibing idnas from the Battle Creek home and what It stands for For Three Decades For more than three decades tho present institution has been the center of a wonderful educa tional philanthropic and reform movement which has finally culmin ated in success undreamed of a few years ago and in this connection a brief history is most opportune In February 1902 the two main buildings of the Sanitarium were destroyed by fire For a short time the days were dark for those who had worked so hard to build it up But strong hearts are not to be awed by misfortune and a new building sprung from the ashes upon the old site The dedication took place May 31 and June 1 1903 An elaborate pro gram was carried out and many men of national reputation made speeches and highly complimented the managers and their co workers on their good work Invitations were sent to all patients rich and poor who had ever been at the Sanitarium Many re sponded in person and hundreds sent letters of regret One of the prettiest sights in con nection with the whole event was tho procession of nurses and matrons which formed on the college grounds opposite the new Sanitarium building and marched through the audience to reserved seats at the right and left of the speakers stand The matrons in their usual cream white uniform the nurses in blue and white and the gentlemen nurses clad in new white duck suits presented a sight which movel the audience to one simultan eous burst of applause Sanitary Ideas As before stated there are many sanitariums in the world but none just like that at Battle Creek it being the first of tne kind so far as known where an attempt has been made and crowned with success to bring to gether in one place and under one management all rational healing agencies giving special prominence to those physiological or natural heal ing agents the scientific knowledge of which has been chiefly developed within the last century especially hyprotherapy electrotherapy mas sage exercise diet sunlight mental and moral influences rest and gen eral health culture Of course the first thing to be taken into consideration was the construc tion of the building to be occupied for much depended upon that But after it had been discussed pro and con a plan entirely satisfactory was adopted and the structure to day plays no small part in the healing process that goes on from day to day at Battle Creek A Return to Nature Movement The philosophy of the Battle Creek Sanitarium may be defined as the return-to-nature idea The doctors teach the use of natural foods natural life the use of natural agents in the treat ment of disease A great amount of attention is given to dietetics Fruits nuts and nut preparations cereal foods and easily digestible vegetables are the basis for the delicious menus which are daily served in the great Sanitarium dining room at which sit down hundreds of intelligent nen and women from all parts of the United States and een from foreign coun tries Milk eggs and other dairy prod ucts are also freely used Great care is taken to provide the very best and choicest of everything edible of which the physicians approve During the year which has just closed a vast amount of these things were required to provide for the army of patients who visited the sanitarium for several thousand sufferers housed there during the twelve months of 1904 As to the expanse for the past year it was considerable amounting to a total of 3271S99 divided as fol lows Nut foods 50 tons 2o76880 cereal foods 101994 pounds 952119 bread G502G pounds 2C5743 canned goods 3G99 cases 1050CG5 fruit juices etc made on the place 11430

the patients an average of 725 men and women were employed during each year and an average of 550 patients are under treatment at this sanitarium every day in the year We have given our readers only a brief glance at the workings of this unique establishment Another article would be required to give something of the details of the daily routine of a guest at the Sanitarium and of the methods which
